It might have been preferable if Maddy cleaned his nose during the meeting.

Cawthorn, ex-husband of a Russian honeypot, has no shame. His comeuppance will be a source of laughter and applause, brought upon himself. No one should go through life in that state. When his day of reckoning comes, I'll wager he will have no one with whom to commiserate...

This would be a great time to clarify and codify the Vice President's role, responsibility and legal authority in the national election process, and as those on the Right would say--it's too soon to discuss this because the grieving process has to take place. Cooler heads have to prevail. Or something like that...

I agree with Jimmy Kimmel on this one--employee of the month...

Drag Bannon into some detention center.
Hit him with ice water from a fire hose. For 20 minutes. Broadcast the event on every network and news web site.
Then, chain Bannon to a post, on some street corner in SE DC. Then watch what happens...

Good news for the day. Der Dotard's notes will be written in crayon, with soldiers and fighter planes on each page. Notes from his staff will include the phrase "the idiot wants...". Being famous for not writing things down will not save L'Orange Fascist, because his toadies and minions did so, capturing the moment whenever their boss passed gas, bitched about Pelosi or ordered a Big Mac and Diet Coke.

Trump's fawning supporters will not care about the contents of those documents, even if these mouth-breathers are on lists of those to be shot and ground into sausage for their leader's breakfast...

His performance on SNL was one of the most dramatic and intriguing I've ever seen. A showman. RIP...

One of these days, maybe next week, maybe in five years, maybe longer, some high profile US politician will get killed in a car bombing. Then we will see who stands to fight, who runs for the hills, and who openly aligns themselves with the US version of the IRA or Red Brigades...

In days of yore, expanding cable TV and providing Arab States with access to CNN and MTV was enough to diminish the power of the hard-line Islamists, if not run them out of power all together. The Taliban got hip to that and dealt with the threat by (1) getting rid of cable and satellite TV, (2) removing anything but ancient Islamic music from the radio airwaves, and (3) shooting anyone who appeared to have allowed Western influences to 'corrupt' their lives. These folk are not just luddites--they want to go back to the seventh century, while still having Toyota trucks, knock-off AK-47s, multiple wives and clean water. Other Muslims are cowed by threats of home-town terrorism, the loss of money and political power, and a desire to not get shot at. But modern Arabs will continue to wail for the release of US aid than support starving Afghans themselves. Better to get the infidel's money than give up one's own dolla-dolla bills...

I'll wager those visitors appear on WH visitor logs and security video. Even if the WH Usher didn't know the names of the visitors, he will certainly recall that all had lunch delivered from Five Guys--burgers, big fries and sweet tea, that all were in army surplus tactical gear and all had bad breath and a swarthy, unbathed appearance...

Anything to sell more records, CDs and downloads. Next up, her new release "I'm Not Dead Yet"...

"Oh, uh, we were all employed as attorneys to the President, so our comments and work product are all protected by attorney-client privilege. So there..."

"OK then, please show us your engagement letters, copies of your work logs, bills submitted and copies of payment received from your client."

"Well, we were working pro bono, on behalf of the American People. We didn't stoop to billing anyone..."

"So why the GoFundMe pages and constant begging for financial support?"

"See here. Lawyers work for those that pay them, so in this case...uh...this was charity work. Neither the President not the Republican Party have any money. We were just being nice guys and gals..."

Snippets of the circular argument to be presented by Rudy, the Kraken gals and other lawyers, all hoping to stay out of jail and employable as attorneys...

In a recent New Yorker article, it was noted that as the number of Bitcoin grows (and also as that number nears the creator's limit of 21MM Bitcoin) the cost to mine bitcoin profitably has been passed, even at $42,480 +/- as of this morning. Talk about the law of diminishing returns being violated.

I recently heard an advertisement for investing in 'crypto' as part of one's retirement savings. Whoever sponsored that ad, or any like it, should be drawn and quartered. Crypto currencies are vehicles of naked speculation, no more or less. Crypto has no intrinsic value. Anyone who invests in Crypto should do so only with funds that the investor expects to never see again...

I'm sure that this event is noted by those considering release of international aid dollars to the luddite music critics in Kabul. How many thousands will have to starve in Afghanistan for locals to rise up and eradicate the Taliban? The world may have to find out, and soon...

Death Sentence has 293 days to pull out of the nosedive which is his job performance. In the absence of a state-wide hurricane on November 8, Ronnie will soon enough be part of the Trump 2024 campaign, as chief shill and carnival barker.

DeSantis will not be re-elected governor of Florida in 2022: clip and save...

This turn of events will certainly help the job security of one Boris Johnson, he of the mop hair cut, boxy and baggy Trump suits, bad breath and indeterminate number of bastard children. If his teeth were a bit more green Johnson might be a more likeable chap. As it is now, more and more Brits would like to see him shoved in front of a lorry...

Too bad for Gaetz that he wasn't around for the Jeffrey Epstein mess while that was occurring. Gaetz would have been in with the in crowd. As it is, he could find himself in the same federal pen, for the same offense, but with much less cachet assigned to his perversions ...

Yep, that's Okiehomie.

They call it 'The Oklahoma Standard' or 'Oklahoma Nice', where others will talk so sweet while cursing you out in their minds, or offering to help as long as they get credit for being so helpful. Meanwhile those here from the days of the Land Run or before want to have all dark-skinned folks jailed or shot, their money or valuables taken, and their children cursed to bad schools, bad healthcare and low-wage jobs. Rather than use the money from the big pharma lawsuits over the opioid epidemic, that money (some of which can still be kept, after an appeals court ruling overturned the original verdict in the state's favor) was blown on fancy buildings and programs at OK State, in Stillwater (home of the lowest life expectancy in the state because of--you guessed it--the substance abuse endemic in the area).

This place was founded by escaped Confederate soldiers, criminals and dirt-poor drifters. Any of those ilk who were able to rise up have not forgotten their family roots and the bad times, and want to keep down anyone who hasn't yet risen up too, because by doing so they can also hold down the dread they feel thinking that the next oil bust or dust bowl can pull them back down, where they were 50, 75 or 100 years ago...

Yep. Folks here in Okiehomie seem content, resigned and satisfied to contract Covid. One still sees many masked-up people, but plenty who are not. There's a feeling that these backward people just want the pandemic to be over, and if it means they get sick, perhaps die, and take up hospital space that a vaxxed person with another medical emergency should have, well then, so be it. As for our moronic governor Kevin "those are my brown shoes, not my feet" Stitt, he seems to have a wager with someone to see how many voters he can piss off and still get re-elected. I think he has lost his bet...

Replies from two men named:
-Bill Clinton: I did not have sex with that teen, and it depends on the definition of the word 'teen'
-Donald Trump: They let you do anything if you're a celebrity

Some believe this lady will look great in a naval uniform, as the next White House doctor to the previous and next guy. It will be her honor and pleasure to each year declare him 'handsome and hung'. Others think she should be stripped of her right to practice medicine and sued for all she is worth. I'm in the second camp...

Give them a choice: a year in general population at the worst prison in their states, or 30 days in the stocks, on the statehouse lawn, naked, fed from a tube and left to cover themselves in their own excrement...

Just as reading "Hells Angels" didn't turn me into a biker, just as reading "A Clockwork Orange" didn't turn me into an ultra-violent droog, just as reading "The Name of the Rose" didn't turn me into a Franciscan, reading the Bible didn't cause these book banning mongrels to turn into folks who love the Lord with all their heart and soul, and their neighbor as themselves.

Funny what reading can do--or not...

I continue to be amazed at the number of political cowards operating in government. Where's Barry Goldwater to kick some but when needed? Kevin is a frightened little boy...

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
--Nelson Mandela

Extremism thrives amid ignorance and anger, intimidation and cowardice.
--Hillary Clinton

One way or another royals don't go to jail. If push comes to shove, this guy will talk, loud and long ...

Make it safer on all of us: put the unvaccinated in an unheated tent in the parking lot, and lay out a buffet of ivermectin, hydroxy-C, springtime fresh Clorox and urine, for self-service. Vaccinated and masked folks are welcome to come inside...
