Some years back I spent time with an old Phoenix attorney. To establish some temporal perspective, he was a contemporary and lifelong buddy of Barry Goldwater's, them having grown up together in early-20th century Phoenix. When he spoke of summers for a large chunk of his life that meant nights spent on sleeping porches and damp sheets hung to catch a breeze if one happened to appear. Otherwise, folks who could manage it took off for places up in the mountains like Prescott. He'd kept as cool as technology allowed, which mirrored that recalled by Indian Wars troopers in the SW, who filled large ollas with water, moistened the surface, and positioned them beside damp sheets hung to catch any movement of air.

When I hear of data centers and new mines proposed and developed in AZ, watch the ludicrous display at Fountain Hills, and recall it wasn't all that long ago the entire state - and a good deal more than that besides - was labeled "The Great American Desert," there's a visceral fear that just set a few more of my mind's floorboards to creaking.

Unfortunately, Trump's promises, aside from being worthless, when used as toilet paper leave you with what he and his crew are bequeathing America: a big, steaming pile of ----.

It's why he was advised to take the 5th. He couldn't be trusted to tell the truth.

Just a couple of questions.

You do realize that statement, with its implication that had he been caught in a two-bit perjury trap his word is worthless, is bogus, right?

Or is it more likely you believe what you've written? In which case you're behaving like a run-of-the-mill MAGAt lickspittle.

Your choice.

Who could not foresee an adjudicated sexual abuser who carries around thirty-four financial crime felony convictions and whose six bankruptcies give him form in incompetent financial management byrunning businesses into the ground as posing a problem in the presidency?

Ask a Republican, maybe they know.

In the Trump clan, money laundering counts as "performing a public service privately."
Presidential Medals of Freedom all around!
(Quite attractive when gold-framed with your very own, paid for in full, Trump Pardon.)

Because, quoting the regime's ambassador to Zorbaland, "The Best Is Yet To Come!"

"[T]he perimeters of a deal has been agreed to."

Jayzus.
Always, but of course, naturally, sure, riiiiight.
Maybe pull the other one; it's got a bell attached.
Poor bastard still hasn't had one of his lickspittles read Araghchi's book on negotiating and report back?

In a word? Yes.

Who knew Tim Walz possessed such remarkable hacking abilities?
Donald Trump, that's who.
I mean, come on, Trump solved the Reflecting Pool disaster, right?
So, it would seem Trump must be the hacker.
Case solved, MAGA style!

... and speaking of Beeg Poosies.

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.
