The Hall of Fire

I feel like there's a cycle with Tara Reade: she emerges from wherever she's been, with her claims against Biden. The claims are evaluated by both skeptical and the credulous. There's fuss and bother about unsealing Biden's papers. And then it all falls apart and she disappears again. During the 202...

Um...who did she think she was burning in that tweet?

That bodes well if the deal makes it to the Senate. I think everyone underestimates Biden. It's both his superpower and his Achilles heel. In the case of the debt ceiling deal, you'll notice that there are voices on both sides declaring victory and voices on both sides screaming in anger that they g...

If this deal collapses the WH might feel at liberty to rethink its position. Or not. I have no idea what anyone in the Biden Admin is thinking, but I do know that negotiations can be an elaborate and theatrical dance. If the current plan falls apart, the dance begins again, to a different tune.

The Republican mayoral candidate for Colorado Springs, Wayne Williams, also lost tonight. The winner there is an independent, Yemi Moboblade. Moboblade, a Nigerian immigrant, is the first Black man elected to be the city's mayor, and the first mayor not to be a Republican -- excepting a few months ...

One of the lessons from Sandy Hook is that, for some, there is no school shooting horrific enough for an honest conversation about America's gun fetish. And those who feel that way are numerous and powerful and well-funded enough that nothing gets done and kids keep getting their bodies blown apart ...

I'm not allowed to accept gifts that valuable and I'm a nobody salaried employee in the private sector. Why am I held to a higher standard than a Supreme Court Justice??

As of now we know Trump has been indicted following an investigation into his business practices and hush money payments. We don't, however, know anything specific about the indictment other than there is at least one charge. This leaves me wondering why so many people have been so reckless as to ev...

Except he's too big to be tucked up under one's arm and carried off...

Let me get this straight. Ukraine made some moves toward maybe possibly hopefully maybe joining NATO some day. But it was going to take a while because NATO has certain expectations regarding military organization and equipment that Ukraine did not, at the time, meet. Nevertheless, Russia found that...

So...now what? He going to get perp-walked? They going to freeze his passports? There going to be a stand-off at Mar-a-Lago?

Oops.

This is starting to resemble a subplot in a Batman movie. New DA who won't be bought is going after a really big fish so the big fish is trying to save himself. Except in the movie it's mobsters teaming up with a supervillain and in Reality 2023 it's an ex-President teaming up with his superfans.

It's funny because it's ridiculous. So very very over-the-top ridiculous.

And to think everyone thought he was a serious person...

I've been wondering what leaks he is referring to regarding any imminent indictment and arrest. The most detail I've heard on either is coming from him. Perhaps one of his attorney's got a courtesy call?

If he gets perp-walked will his SS detail be in attendance?

I kinda forgot he was mortal. Just like the rest of us.

I wonder if we have the ability to capture a balloon without shooting it down...though I bet if we knew how to do that we'd never, ever advertise it.

Trump lied and dicked around so much he eventually gave the Feds enough probable cause to obtain and execute a search warrant on Mar-a-Lago. Since he's never shown himself capable of learning lessons I wouldn't be surprised if the process is quietly repeating for other Trump properties. If it is, we...

What was that old adage about being caught with dead girls or live boys? Something about not doing it?

Also, sometimes material gets classified long after it's generated, so some of the material found in Trump's, Biden's, and Pence's homes might not have been classified when they took it home but is considered classified now (this was also the case with Hillary's emails). Basically, the system is com...
