"Your money and your life! Gawd bless America!"
Republican Party Platform

Two points:

1. Unless there's persuasive evidence to the contrary, it may be best to assume the files have been diddled with during the time they were going to be released, then not, the ongoing coverup, and now (coverup still in place).

2. The House Republicans must have produced one helluva whip count on the upcoming vote, with support for Trump's coverup position eroding as in-district voters grabbed their pitchforks and lit up the torches

"There's a saying, you know, all great causes begin as a movement, transform into a business and degenerate into a racket."

Maybe where MAGAty types hang out, sure, but normals usually don't think that way. However, observing the behavior of DeSantis and the other MAGAts, yeah, sure, a founding mantra of sorts.

These goons know Trump has drifted into ballroom talk as he stumbles off into the sunset of his premature lame duckiness.

Why they want the Admiral Donitz role beats me, but, hey, you rats in that sack, have at it.

LIMP FLAG: MAGAty cluelessness

"Welcoming the stranger" is not a place; it's an attitude.
My family often assisted people trudging north in the Sonoran Desert border country.
We didn't invite them into the house to spend the night.
But we did make up sandwiches, get them something to drink, refill their canteens, dispense some dinero.
Because they were people caught in one helluva crunch and they could use help.
It didn't seem like a lot to ask or a lot to do.
In fact ,it seemed to me at the time exactly like what it seems like now: the bare minimum.

Trump was also slapping ----- up about Massie remarrying 1 1/2 years after his wife of 31 years died. Very low. Even for a yuuuge human disaster like Trump: a constantly whiney, thrice married, adjudicated sexual abuser.

Effing around on Ivana while married to her. Effing around on Melanie while married to her. That's between them, but ...

Old Yeller may be a practiced adulterer, but he sure comes up short in the successful marriage department

Faith leaders performed a crucial role in the Civil Rights Revolution the Republicans are now hell-bent on reversing. They were also involved in Vietnam War opposition. I think what they do in general is broaden the field for discussion and involvement, provide a permission structure.

Speaking on behalf of Clarabell the Clown and the Peanut Gallery: Bravo!

In a long-winded blurpityblurp he inflicted on military leaders at Quantico on Sept. 30, Trump's finally got to the subject of military enlistment, something about cops, and ...

I always put the fire department in because they're great. They're great, and I got 95 percent of their vote too, that helps. When you get 95 percent of the vote, you always have to mention them, but they're great. And they're brave in our inner cities, which we're going to be talking about because it's a big part of war now, it's a big part of war. But the firemen go up on ladders and you have people shooting at them while they're up on ladders. I don't even know if anybody heard that. And actually don't talk about it much, but I think you have to. Our firemen are incredible. They're up on one of these ladders that goes way up to the sky rescuing people, and you have animals shooting at them -- shooting bullets at firemen that are way up in death territory. You fall off that ladder, it's over, it's over. They don't even have to inspect you when you hit the ground. And you have people shooting bullets at them in some of these inner cities. We're not going to let that happen. So, I always mention the firemen because that's actually a big problem we have. They are unbelievable.

That may help explain the MRI.

From everything I have seen Mexico, geography and climate is California, only bigger. Clean up the cartels and Mexico would be a Superpower in its own right.

You'll need to go well beyond Tijuana to "see Mexico."

Have the GOP's Brownshirts been raiding pubs, dragging away illegal Irish pint pullers?
Nope.
The profiling for Trump's goons is appearance, color, language.
In other words, profiling based on language and where you fit on a color chart.
Racist in concept, racist in execution.
Racism, it's what racists do.

Trump wrangled up a mob of poorly educated, resentful mental wobblers ever on the lookout for ... well, whatever boogeymen and boogeywomen you'd care to plop in front of them. Oh, and don't forget the ridiculous "alternative facts" and absurd "doing my own research" yammering from this crew. Of course the cult is devouring its own.

Only Trump could fix that. (Vance and Rubio are too busy arguing over his not yet cold political corpse, and they haven't got the heft anyhoo.). But he's too mired in his own terminal problem: covering up for Jeffrey Epstein.

Rats in a sack.

Capital punishment is way too much power with too much margin for error to entrust to the state.

Depends on the circumstances, of course. But, as a sandbox exercise my guess is, unfortunately, the vast majority of enlisted personnel would follow much of the junior officer corps and almost certainly err on the side of obeying orders.

The Republicans have been swear-to-gawd promising they're on the verge of inveiling an improved alternative to Obamacare.
For 15 years now.
That's how long they've been working on this dazzling piece of legislation.
And what have they produced?
An obese, overly tarted-up dementia sufferer burping out "Concept of a plan."
Still ...
No concept.
No plan.
They are not serious about a "plan."
They are serious about screwing you over, though.

Let's hear Trump's full explanation for the causes and effects of World War I, unedited for either length or coherence, with special focus on the brief US involvement in that conflict.

Surprised it took until the fourth paragraph for the odious Corey Lewandowski to make an appearance in this raggedy tale of grifters run amok.

Do these "conservative influencers" know what's actually in those files?
No.
But Trump does.
And he is in a panic because he most definitely does not want us to see them.
Now, MAGAts, why do you suppose that's the way of it?

Well, there's Boondoggle Ranch - the cluelessness really wraps itself around that one - and then there's ...
