Clayton and "I Love You, Sir"Blanche both have nominations hanging. Backtracking on this ought to make capitulation easier for Republican committee members who customarily express faux "concern."

Don Jr. is one of their fanboys.

A pardon is not beyond possibility.

From the article:

J.C. Hortman, Mark Hortman's 86-year-old father ... .along with Mark's older brother Lee Hortman, criticized the U.S. Justice Department and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche for accepting a plea deal in the case rather than go to trial.

A trial would have answered questions around why first responders weren't dispatched sooner to the Hortmans' home and why police who did arrive didn't immediately try to stop Boelter, he said, adding that he wanted a trial so that the death penalty would be pursued.

J.C. Hortman criticized Blanche's decision, suggesting that the Justice Department's work was influenced by the fact that Boelter "only killed Democrats, so Todd didn't care."

Blanche "took the easy way out. He's going to reward this piece of garbage," said Lee Hortman.

The joint is starting to resemble those downright odd plans they found sketched out with a Sharpie on bathroom sanitary napkins strewn across the scabrous Las Vegas Strip suite where Trump swore he and the ghosts of Rip Taylor, Paul Lynne, Liberace, and Walter Mercado covfefeed with the shade of Pierre L'Enfant to create, as Trump put it during his initial post-takedown interview at the station, "Something Jeffrey Epstein would be proud of. Like a big, fluffy cake. Made of Frenchedfries and whipped cream sprinkled with gold dust and naked teenage girls - oh, almost forgot - and Arnold Palmer's penis. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

Money shoveled into the rapacious military-political-industrial complex only fuels the hunger of an already ravenous parasitic organism.
Starve the beast.

The GOP seems pretty flush with misogynistic wannabe gangster types beset with mental health issues.

Then again, they nominated Trump three times and would repeat the offense ad infinitum given half a chance. Yes, they are that lazy, that attracted to the grift, and that hateful of their country. Who else would knowingly set a match to the Constitution, watch it burn, and do eff all about it?

Beating up on a woman? That's just more real MAGAMan manly manliness - as preached by a senile octogenarian who thinks it's cool to talk about how he used to stare at Arnold Palmer's dick when the duffer showered.

Land of the free, home of the brave.

"Hubris is an incurable American disease. As incurable as the military-industrial machine that keeps coming up with the armaments that make wars seem like slam dunks, but which last for decades; wars that are fought by a very small percentage of the population and, regular effusive acknowledgement of veterans notwithstanding, can be ignored for years."
Don Watson, Enemy Within: American Politics in the Time of Trump

War is a feature of the Trump regime.
Beats headlines mined from the Epstein Files.
And now Old Yeller's riling up his rubes about commies.
Roy Cohn must be laughing in Hell.

Such creatures clearly derive some pleasure from inflicting pain on others. The only question is, how much pain needs to be inflicted in order to get the high?

Ted Bundy probably dealt with a similar dilemma.

Travel tip for Americanos while abroad: Ditch the Trump gear, spruce up a bit (if locals aren't wearing shorts consider following their example), adjust your voice to "normal," pick up a few words/ expressions in the local lingo and be polite when using them.

Simple, I know, but sheesh ... .

For "privatization" read "grift" and/or "graft." Trump (as the MAGAts' owner) and his coconspirators (as their immediate manipulator-masters) do loooove them some of that privatization. As a money generator it's easier than armed robbery and you'll get the thanks of a grifted, grafted, exhausted, poorer nation - straight from the horse's-a##-in-chief himself if the kickback's heavy enough. Pardon?

When Bonesaw bought Bonespurs he expected an ROI.
And lest it slip whatever remains of the bulbous Americano's mind ...
He ain't called "Bonesaw" for nothing.

Unfortunately, you cannot believe anything coming out of the regime.

The way normal breathe, in-out-in-out, routine? That's what lying is to Trump. And anyone desperate enough to associate with the bum.

What starts as a MAGA rite of passage becomes almost "natural" reflex.

"Why do you speak about humans like they have no agency?"

I don't.

I get it, Bill, and we agree on having concerns. Fictions mere.y mirrors the coming obvious: HAL (1968) for sure, Colossus: The Forbin Project a couple years later. There are certainly numerous upsides to AI, but ...

For openers, what happens with the "human surplus"?

Notice the indifference of LFTHNDTHRDS to the ongoing TRUMP EPSTEIN COVERUP.

And, no, the Epstein Coverup has absolutely nothing, zip, zero, nada to do with the Secret Service switching Old Yeller's Secret Service codename from "LARD BUCKET" to the more rapidly transmitted, received, and acted upon "NIPS."

I'm a luddite.

First heard of them at about the right age - college freshman - and time - the Sixties - so that my attitude is receptive.

"The concerns and methods vary, but there is to it all, at bottom, a message that is unmistakably Luddistic: beware the technological juggernaut, reckon the terrible costs, understand the worlds being lost in the world being gained, reflect on the price of the machine and its systems on your life, pay attention to the natural world and its increasing destruction, resist the seductive catastrophe of industrialism."
Kirkpatrick Sale

E Jean Carroll really got to that slimy, money-grubbing pos.

The money hurt, sure, but it must have been the LOSS that hot-burned Old Yeller's butt. Which is odd, when you really think about it, because Trump's been such a yuge lewzer his entire life. He went bankrupt six times destroying businesses he owned, and repeatedly showed he couldn't make money even when running ... no, wait for it ... casinos. That's why he's settled on grifting and stealing- it's easier, harder to trace, and has low overhead.

But the slob lost. To a woman. Because he's a disgusting sexual abuser.

Speaking of which, war schmor, how's Trump's Jeffrey Epstein Coverup holding up?

Should be enough hooks for the pilot episode.

"A protest is not a good place to bring a gun."

I don't know your views on the Second Amendment Bill, although I think I may have a pretty good sense of it. In any event, shouldn't we - as automatic members of the unorganized/nonexistent organized militia - be able, by right by Gawd, to bear our arms hither and yon? Not my view, of course, but I'm curious.

Bill, I get the sense we've been living in the future for a few years now.
Not many, but probably more than we initially thought.

Trump's reaction to discovery mirrors a cucaracha's to light.
Ah, glorious Nature's sweetly serendipitous reveals.
