I guess Pirro, who often exhibits a dodgy relationship with the truth herself, was supposed to burn her license to practice law on the altar of Trump's self-regard. Take one for Trump. Right.

The world's animal population should rejoice the bum never had a pet - in his life - considering how he treats his human and human-ish "friends."

Hey, Republicans, this is what you wanted, what you've werked so hard for.
Come on, don't be bashful - give yourselves three cheers.
"Oink! Oink! Oink!"

"The disagreement also underscores how personally invested Trump has become in the Reflecting Pool saga. The president has repeatedly cited the incident as an example of vandalism against federal property, using it to argue for tougher punishments and more aggressive prosecutions. His post Saturday showed he remains unconvinced by his own Justice Department's conclusion that contractor failures - not vandals - were primarily responsible for the damage."

They were actually fishermen preparing to blast a speedboat loaded with fentanyl through the Strait of Hormuz all the way to landfall at Pismo Beach. Their ultimate destination? Why, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool of course.

Your concern for the Democratic Party is duly noted, BALLWA$HER.
Thanks of a grateful nation, etc., etc., etc.
Pity you haven't been as concerned about how your own outfit morphed into a cult.

Another takeaway: The regime cited the strong "evidence" it possessed supporting a case against this man. That case could have brought the defendant as much as 10 years in prison. But there never was any evidence supporting the case, and, therefore, no case supported by evidence. Not just not now, but not from the very beginning of this. It was all a lie. And screwing with a life in the process - pffff! - matters not at all to these sociopaths.

My guess is they saw a lot of ridicule they don't need on the horizon if this stitch-up went to trial. The charges would offer the defendant the option of a jury trial. Which would be an exercise in either the judge lecturing the prosecutors and tossing the case or jury nullification.

There were other arrests/frame-ups because Trump ensh#ttified the Reflecting Pool. What happens to those folks now?

One takeaway: This regime, top to bottom, will lie about anything and claim to have solid "evidence" in hand when they have nothing but their own boolsh##t.

How can you trust a government staffed by lickspittles catering to a lunatic?

"This is a case with tremendous evidence," Jeanine "Judge Boxwine" Pirro declared.
She yapped that out just a month ago, with great enthusiasm and certitude .
That "tremendous evidence" turned out to be ... nothing other than a poorly-executed stitch-up of an innocent man.
Meanwhile, the guy gets indicted (!) and Pirro has him up and eligible for a 10-year sentence if found guilty (of nothing).
Trump's ensh#ttification of our country continues.

Republicans, this is what you wanted and you've destroyed a nation to get it.

When you have more people than a stressed environment can sustain ...
Exhibit A: Pueblo Grande and Snaketown.

What the honorable gentleman from VA meant to say was "human baby farts." Which are, admittedly baby parts for a while but not the same as the ground-up babies MAGAts sprinkle on their mush every morning. Or so someone, somewhere said, says, or may say ... maybe.

The phrase "a Trump promise" enters the vocabulary of international mockery.

Professor Harold Hill's influence spread far beyond River City, Iowa.

EMTs are standing by, waiting respectfully for that long cigar ash to drop into plastic cup of 3-week-old Loch Dhu 10-Year-Old whiskey he's clutching before making a final determination.

Trump tapped into a sewer of such stench that most pols shied away from it. That was until Republicans saw the orange-painted conman had garnered himself a following and - here's where the fun started - thought they could control and profit from him and that following. However, the wouldbe bamboozlers were themselves co-opted by a far more powerful bamboozler/cult leader backed by a mob of cultists that proved it would and could kill for its cult's leader. (Kinda of like the corporatists and Hitler.). And so here we are, effed beyond imagination as a nation by these crooks and cretins. I am astonished just how much damage they've inflicted in a relatively short time. But, then, they've been helped along by plenty of aidin' and abettin'.

BILL, You really do sound like quite the theatrical pearl clutcher.

Hold on, Prissy will be along shortly.y to assist.

Can't wait for this crew's map of the solar system, just sun and planets.
Although betcha creating an earth-moon diagram might leave them fatigued.

Members of a cult cannot operate with consistency in the moral arena while simultaneously remaining ever alert to their master's call.

Trump Ensh#ttification rolls merrily along.
Stand up straight and proud, Republicans, because this is your baby.

There was a time, really not so long ago, law professors might speak to classes of mob fighter Rudy Giuliani and say to students, by way of inspiration, "That could be you!"

But that was then and this is now.

Now they limn for classes the sorry tale of a drunken has-been Trump lackey and warn, "That could be you!"

#156 translated from MAGAt to Normal: "Nope, I ain't got nuttin."

Amazing. Our son is a first responder/paramedic who also trained/qualified as a rescue diver. The first thing those guys do is assess the situation, and the primary concern is whether they reasonably believe they can perform the rescue and not get killed while going into or through the event. The emphasis is on realizing one person in distress is bad enough without tossing another unnecessarily into the mix and losing two. Perhaps cold, but there it is. I've no idea this 16-year- old's training, but he knew what to do and he was loaded with guts.

Imagine it all as a graph.
