Holy shit...you KNOW you're in trouble when

Marjorie Taylor Greene says it best and makes more sense than the mealy-mouthed opposition. Yeah, I know we aren’t supposed to say anything bad about those in our movement but Jesus, this is what WE should be doing. Every fucking Day.

You gotta be careful whom you piss off:

Sure glad I saw stock guru Ron Insana just now on MSNOW

He imparted the well-thought out opinion that “the stock market can go either way.”

I’m impressed. I had to sit down.

Your past is behind you, but your future is yet to come!!!

As an aside,

I just love when these reporters/consultants/experts do their teevee interviews with bookcases full of books and tchotchkes behind them as though by observing those objects, it gives the interviewee credence “because Lookit all those books (s)he read!”

I actually have, for a non-literary occupation individual a gigantic library because I have the entire collection of six individuals who were addicted to academic-quality books (in other words, no Jackie Collins-type novels - or very few, I’ll confess) in addition to my own library. I was a “voracious” reader as a youth and an English major (as one of my three college majors).

That being said, I would never purport to be as learned as those who study subjects in immense detail and would thus be considered an expert by academic standards. I am an intellectual jack of all trades and a master of one, as I believe Ben Franklin wrote. These folks go on tv, pretend to be able to analyze events and then prognosticate based upon the past. I would love to see a show wherein predictions are aired and the predictor is forced to sit through an explication of what then happened with the academic rationale for why the “expert" was totally mistaken.

You’ll never see it after the NFL games and you sure as heck won’t see it politically. It would however be interesting to say the least to create an index of reliability: the prognosticator’s percentage of correctness, adjusted for minor unforeseen discrepancies. Each rating would be on the chyron underneath to allow the viewer to judge the reliability.

Well I think it’s a good idea….anyone who thinks that he or she can accurately predict the sequelae of the Iranian invasion is kidding the public and themselves. The Butterfly Effect is in force here.

P.S.: for many with an education, it may best be described as “a load of books on the back of an ass”. I forget who wrote that originally. Genius.

I have not seen mentioned that "your favorite President"

Gave an address that was PRERECORDED.

In no way can they trust him to give a live address which is appropriate for a military operation.

It was obvious after the last attack and the relatively feeble Iranian response that this was going to happen.

As an aside: as an individual who has been politically conscious since the Six Day War in 1967, I am “amused” that Israel began the operation on the Jewish Sabbath which is a big “fuck you” to those who attacked Israel on Yom Kippur in 1973. The only day holier than Yom Kippur…is every Shabbos. (The Dude abides, nevertheless.)

From 2019: A tale of Epstein's pilot and other "issues"

I believe that I know why Patel went to Milan

in the fashion that he did, rather ostentatiously spending taxpayer money

Because he knows he’s DONE. When that material which he has seen and knows will eventually be revealed or leaked comes out, he will be crucified along with the entire DOJ. It is likely so disgusting, so vile, so amoral that they’re all gonna have to “lawyer-up”. Things are gonna change radically and the pendulum will swing a great distance this time because this ain’t Watergate or Iran-Contra.

It’s literally buggerring children…and likely worse-I think they’ve performed acts you can’t even see on regular porn channels. These people know no bounds. There is no “bottom” of the depths to which they can sink.

So he hopped on his plane because time is short.

“Objects in mirror are closer than they appear”.

She Trump does and goes to Hell, Part II:

And the Devil is waiting for him and says “Mr. President! What an honor to see you, we welcome you to eternity and I am here to greet you myself.”
Trump is impressed.

The Devil continues: “We have three rooms, you may choose any room but once you’ve made your choice, that is where you will stay for Eternity.”

Trump nods approvingly. The Devil takes him to the first room which is the fire and brimstone of legend. It is unbearably hot and people are miserable, sweating and gagging. Most are weeping uncontrollably. The smell of burning flesh is overwhelming. L

Trump says “Not this one, I don’t think.” When they get to the second room, it’s filled with naked people and tiny horned cherubs are chasing them with pitchforks poking them. People are screaming and there’s blood everywhere. “Not this one probably., Trump says

They get to the third room and it’s people standing waist deep in human feces. The smell is unbelievable but given the choices….

Trump says, I’ll stay here.” The Devil says,”You’re sure?” Trump replies yes.

So he’s standing there and is chatting with his neighbors, as to how it’s not so bad when someone sticks his head in the doorway and yells:”. Okay folks, coffee break’s over. Back on your heads!”

I have a blizzard-related story from about 40 years ago:

I was practicing in center city Philadelphia and was already having a bad day. The storm was supposed to start in earnest at about 11:00 AM and all my patients cancelled except this one aggressive asshole who was coming to see me from the far Northeast part of the city. I personally spoke to him and assured him that the procedure wasn’t critical and it could certainly wait for even four months or more. But NOOOOO!…. He in no uncertain angry terms told me that he was leaving at that moment and that we had best better wait for him. Of course we did and an hour later he walked in for what was a five minute appointment.

I told him, angry myself, that I had to now drive in horrendously slippery roads to my home in the far northwest, up curvy hills which were treacherous in good weather. He mumbled some nonsense and I just stormed out of the room and was out the door before he was.

So on the way home, I had to stop for some food because I literally had a near-empty refrigerator and I expected to be snowed in for three or four days. The lines in the supermarket were long of course. In front of me was a middle-aged black couple who looked exhausted. She was dressed in scrubs and he in overalls and they both looked as though they’d just gotten off shift. Meanwhile, I noticed that to our right, there as a tall, older white guy whose basket was on the floor and he was surreptitiously he thought, kicking the basket to cut in line in front of the couple in front of me.

Less than a minute later, the husband looked up and said to the guy, “Hey, don’t you cut in front of us.” The white guy said, “I was already here in front of you.” I saw the eyes widen on the husband and in the instant before he could say anything I piped up, “ The hell you were- I saw what you were doing now I don’t care where you go but it ain’t gonna be in front of us.” The guy picked up his basket and went to another line. The husband turned around and said, “Thanks, man.” I nodded and said, “for your sake and his sake I wasn’t going to just stand there and watch this happen.” He replied, “you get it…I see that.” And I nodded.

There is no question in my mind that I would not have reacted quickly like that except that I was in a horrible mood from that interaction with that asshole patient. Funny how the world works.

Stay safe everyone: I am dealing with possibly 18” and moderate to severe flooding. My cars are parked in a casino garage and I have flex tape at the ready.

Terrific interview:

?si=0udcY6TUv93BZolG

The most informative and interesting interview I’ve seen since I can remember. It is David Cay Johnston on the Mark Thompson show, concerning the arrest of Andrew. Just outstanding: the best half hour I’ve spent since that night with your….never mind. 😂

Seriously, just first-class.
