I'd sure like to know.
But transparency is as rare with this mob as the acceptance of responsibility absent duress.

Arranging for a cozy meeting with the senescent caudillo in his stuffy Oval Office lair requires you be in a position to contact someone known to you who can reasonably be expected to get the ball rolling towards scheduling such a meeting and, more, will actually set about doing just that. In other words, basically one-degree of separation between you and that session with Old Orange Julius himself.

Loopy Loomer is closely looped in to the menagerie of broken clowns surrounding the convicted felon.

Says a lot

Pat Buchanan has long been a serious crackpot whose statements make it clear he should not be taken seriously by serious people, e.g. and just for starters: his repellent Holocaust denialism about gassings at Treblinka rooted in his failure to conduct basic research into the diesel engines at the core of his "argument."

Doing what's required of you by virtue of the positionyou hold is what normals call "business as usual."
Whatever else he may be, Mike Pence is no profile in courage.

With this crew, the rot runs through and through.

Clearly, Bondi et. al. see an opportunity to make an example of Mangione.
Oops, wrong door.
By the time the guv is done Mangione will have sky-high name recognition.
Even some MAGAt goobers will know and be able to ... wait for it ... spell his name.
He will have become a martyr for some.
Worse for the guv, many will say: "Yeah, wrong shooting that guy, but ... ."

"The worm did it."

Effed the economy and spent the entire day on the golf course.
Par for the course.
His enablers already have far more to answer for than they can handle.

Donald Trump's financial smarts should be given all the credence you'd give anyone who repeatedly went belly up in the casino business.

At least his grandpa stuck to something he knew about early on: running prostitutes in the Yukon.

All of Big Orange Grrrrrilla's droopy chest thumping aside, it's clear the old boy is just itching for some let's-bomb-brown-people time.
I have one question.
Which of the eligible Trump clan will be enlisting?
Sniffling Eric or newbie Barren?
I mean, service, right?

It took Trump only ten weeks in office to nail down this country's reputation as an unpredictable, indiscreet, fickle, and unreliable ally. From a European perspective, best to organize now for as much decoupling as events warrant. As for Marco Rubio, situation normal: in over his head.

According to all the waste DODGE has found ... .

Almost quaint.

This guy's history - heavy cocaine use, heroin addiction (which garnered him a felony conviction), steroid abuse, brain worm problems, weird dead critter fetish, horrendous treatment of women, and affection for asinine"theories" associated with health just for openers - does not inspire confidence.

Chamberlain brought an elegant comedic touch to his role of "Aramis" in Richard Lester's The Three Musketeers (1973) and The Four Musketeers (1974). Those films brought out the best sort of theatrical "ham" in its stars, especially Chamberlain and Frank Finlay ("Porto's").

Barron Trump, reporting for duty, Sirrr!"

This is not going to "blow over."
Trump represents pretty much everything a lot of folks absolutely detest about America and many Americanos.
You put an incurious, poorly educated, psychologically wrecked, hateful and resentful clod in the WH and this is what you get.
From now on, we will be barely tolerated.
Trusted?
That's definitely gone.
"It'll be different next time" won't work anymore as an excuse.
It's as limp as "the guardrails will hold."

When a government endorses and pushes ignorance while denigrating knowledge and expertise you're no longer on a train; you've hooked up with a sewage barge.

He did some good work, braved going on stage, seemed to pretty much stay out of the scandal sheets minding his own business and leading what sounds like a good life. Kudos, especially in that business and at that time. RIP.

Not sure, but word is he's sometimes called upon to blow into the breathalyzer when Pete's feeling a bit off his mark.

Still obsessing on an old man's --------.
Weird.

For younger folks with marketable talents/skills, consider a place where people take the idea of a social contract seriously.
America, simply put, is no longer trustworthy in that department.

It's Deseret, kinda like Jake's Chinatown but different.

Does Pugnacious Pete have a minder who monitors his behavior vis a vis booze? I'm curious, because both he and Kennedy, a decades-long heroin junkie, act conspicuously weird, even for members of a Trump cabinet.

Poor Elise thought that cushy UN gig was a done deal, sewn up, in the bag. She even went out and got herself a make-do make-over so she could meet and converse with people not keen on being seen in the same room with MAGAt flip-flop foppery with its assorted signage and flaggery. Alas, now it's back to MAGAtland and red-white-and blue flip-flop foppery. So it'll be the usual drone of yee-haws and yahoos for Elise instead of that tinkling dreamland of sweet mercis< and gritty realpolitik. Sirely Mencken would smile, at least a little.
