Just keep it off the 59. Like Jan and Dean sang, the 59 in Houston is no place to play...

It's the water. Lake Mead has been at critically low levels for years. Folks out west cannot afford the luxury of green grass--they have to stay hydrated. Next thing you know, those in the Silver State will be importing more cacti and cholla, to make Vegas look like Tucson. Will not work, since Vegas is NOT in the Sonoran Desert. Oh well, very few go outside during the daylight hours in that town...

So...this guy still lives with his parents, too? At least he is not in the basement, given the window in the background of the photo. As to whether he is getting any, I'll wager NOT...

Twenty-nine days of torture
Twenty-nine nights of fear
Twenty-nine days in jail
Nobody seems to care
I got twenty-nine days in jail
Nobody seems to care

Left unsaid in this disingenuous stab at contrition is the unspoken wish that Joey D and his hag of a wife get to keep their law licenses. These two should be deprived of making a living by abusing others through the courts...

Just because Smoky has been wrong about so much in his political career doesn't mean he can't be right in this case, and I think he is right on the money here. For decades he was a loyal Repub soldier and leader, but he lost control of the crazies, and when Trump happened, the ditch into which the GOP bus was driven proved to be too deep for that vehicle's extraction.

At least Smoky didn't sell out to Trumpism, unlike so many long-time GOP members ...

Mitch still controls a great amount of money, which he has shared with senatorial candidates in the past, as a way of retaining his leadership job. I don't know how many candidates for 2022 were in the Palm Beach Trump onanistic derby, other than the Ohio contingent, but Mitch knows and those who serviced Trump will not get much cash from Sen. McConnell, and that could cost them seats...

There has been talk of Whitey running for president in 2024. Not getting any military response on 1/6 and not getting an invitation to the Palm Beach GOP----------- and ring-kiss are all the indications Pence needs to know he is finished as a political candidate. He might consider himself lucky to be alive...

The Bookkeeper will give up his son to protect the orange oaf. Will the son give up the father to stay out of Attica? The ex-wife will, and perhaps already has given up everybody. The Bookkeeper thinks that Trump will make him whole for doing a bit of time, but that will never happen...

Keep an eye on margin debt (i.e., borrowing against one's stock holdings and owed to a brokerage house). In nominal terms it is indicating trouble, while in real terms, less so. In 2006-2008 many got caught short when the US equities market turned around, and the selling fed upon itself, as can happen when investors are forced to unwind their positions quickly. It was a sickening ride for those who watched, and even worse for those who were on the ride at the time.

Pro tip: back down your levered equity positions NOW. Your broker will thank you. And if you have Robinhood on your phone, close your account, get out and delete the app. The investment world is no place for folks who no not what they are doing...

He must have dropped off the hooker only minutes before the hijinks commenced. That's the way these types roll--a gut full of ga-ga juice, a tart riding shotgun, and a sense of entitled invincibility...

Ms. Scott deserves some sort of award for her thoughtful way of donating funds where those gifts can be transformative. Scott appears to recognize not only need, but deserving need. Might her funds get used in the wrong manner? Sooner or later, yes. Might her many donations have a positive impact that will be invaluable in the lives of many, many deserving people and organizations? Without a doubt.

Andrew Carnegie funded the construction of dozens of public libraries across the US. The Rockefeller Family funded the creation of universities, the eradication of ringworm and many advances in medical science. Ms. Scott has entered the pantheon of great philanthropists whose gifts make our little world a better place. Bravo!

Gaetz is probably already making a list of high powered folks he can squeal on, in hopes of getting sentenced to house arrest, just like that Epstein fella was. It will be TV worth watching to see how serious the charges will be, and how high up the GOP food chain Gaetz tries to climb, in his quest to avoid a prison bromance...

Those two better stick to building refrigerators...

'These colors don't run'. Oh, yea? This guy will soon enough be on his knees, apologizing and begging for a plea deal. He knows it's better to be on his knees outside of prison than inside of prison. Flag or no flag...

So what? What are the voters going to do? Vote for Democrats? Our jobs are as safe as milk...
-'Show Me' State GOP, showing their true colors

This is for white folks only. Any dark-skinned person seen with a gun becomes an immediate target of any law enforcement officer, vigilante, crossing guard or suburban mom packing heat. Don't believe me? Just watch. If Oprah, Derrick Henry or Tina Turner were to be seen with a Raven .25 they would be fired upon...

Got any phony Christians or GOP anti-vaxxers in your life? Better say goodbye to them while you can...

I'm confident that many of these Boys, concerned about their safety while in the Big House, are already dropping dime about their former associates. At some point the Feds gain much more leverage, telling rats and squealers either (1) they are not cooperating enough, or (2) they are subject of investigations for much more serious charges so not eligible for a plea deal.

Part of the truth that will out in this case will be that the Proud Boys are all talk, almost no action, they have no honor so will sell out the three dudes they hung with on 1/6, and that they are individually such jerks that their wives and girlfriends will testify against them to get such creeps out of their lives....

He's on a boat? No problem...

Best news today. Talk about constituent service!

You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
-Exodus 20: 3-6

Ha! I'll show this lady. I'll just not show up at these so-called press conferences, and that way she cannot answer my questions, giving me something to complain about with this alleged Biden Administration...

Want to really punish these miscreants? Put something toxic on their credit reports, e.g., 'convicted felon', 'political toady' or 'very bad hair'...

Let's hope that voters in Alaska recognize that there are already too many loonies running around the halls of Congress, and that the United States Senate is no place for one more. I will wager that Linguistics Barbie will show her face at Mar-A-Lago, seeking an endorsement from the orange oaf, who (contrary to his threats) will never venture to Alaska to talk about himself. When Chatty Cathy shows up in Florida, she had better have her kneepads.

BTW: When this lady speaks 'in tongues' the language she speaks is called 'gibberish'...
