Given Trump's long history of acquiring wealth no matter the sketchy 3-Card Monte methods he notoriously/habitually relies on, the question we all should be asking is how Trump and his deep-pocket Wall Street pals believe will profit financially from this particular "regime change." Follow the (oil) money? That, and if we're talking about Iran, we're not talking about Epstein, are we?

I normally use the Guest portal when using U-Tube as I'm too broke to sign up for it. I've never been kicked out until today. Now it keeps promting me that there's something amiss with my "account," and now requires I sign in to gain entrance. Given the effectiveness of Colbert's U-Tube end-around to reach his audience--and in light of his network's curious admonition to not even mention Talarico's booking, I find it beyond odd that my access to U-Tube now requires I "sign in." No thanks. These are vexatious times, friends. I'm thinking I may have made a mistake parting with my old man's gun locker.

Hmm...Immediately declarare dem skullduggery the moment the pols show the inevitable drubbing the R's & the Magasaurs are about eat, followed by a real quiet assessment of what Joint Chiefs might be "persuaded" into backing any Oval office refusal to gracefully concede. Then, as the outrage naturally follows, camo-coutured military personnel backed by APCs will quietly begin popping up around larger Dem-voting population centers, crewed by completely torn personnel operating on purposely vague orders issued outside the normal chain of command. The amateur hour scriptwriter in my head keeps attempting to flesh out this intriguing scenario, fueled by increasingly sad vignettes on cable news, night after night. My problem is how to write away from the obvious cliche ending...I'm kind of stumped.

A line will be drawn in this country, and every swingin' buckaroo & buckette in this deservedly troubled land will have choose which side of it they're going find themselves standing on when it all goes sideways.

Bravo, Squeaky! Swing & a miss, though. Diplomatic security for American officals overseas is normally handled exclusively by Secret Service. Here's a Hawaiian Good Luck Sign just for you. Think of it as another well-earned participation trophy to add to your rather voluminous collection.

So...I see no one can answer my query. I was hoping at least one of you gasbag Trumpers would step up to the plate and take a swing.

Can someone clarify exactly why ICE is in Italy to begin with? WTF...any Color of Authority they might hold on American soil vanishes the moment their plane reaches International waters, no?

Hmm...it just dawned on me that I have no clue who is playing tomorrow, and inexplicably have no real interest in watching the game either. This will be the first Superbowl I haven't watched since the first one way back in the day.

I'd raffle off a free 1-hour opportunity for 10 lucky patriots to take hacksaws to this cheezy paean to his relentless vanity. Imagine being that needy...

What did they expect when Donny Two Scoops told them he was going to rid this country of all the "bad hombres?" There is NO ethical justification building a metaphorical wall with a 200' neon sign on one side saying "Help Wanted," then hanging a even bigger one on the other side demanding they all go home, and sending tactical-festooned goons to make sure they do so, one way or another. Congrats...we're the bad guys npw.

De rigeur. I should have looked it up. My apologies...I've become lazy in my old age.

My first impession of the rather fey gent was this is the kind of political animal that steadfastly believes his de regure knee-jerk piety grants him carte blanch to nakedly and repeatedly fib to the American public, despite any credible or factual push-back to the contrary. It's a Bronze Age zombie yarn some have historically found useful in controling those with little to no ability to recognize how "bad" Angry Sky Daddy can be in determining who makes society's on-going pact with itself fair & just for everyone. $20 says he has a Grindr account.

The word everyone seems to be tip-toeing around is...espionage. Trump's list of crypto "investors" must make for some rather trepidatous reading. The deal he undoubtedly has with Ol' Mr. Scratch...whew!

Jill Stein? I'd rather set my nuts on fire and put it out with a hammer.

It used to be openly advocating this kind of centralization of political/electoral power was enough to permanently wish the candidate into history's cornfield.

The unintended irony hangs in the air like fresly cut cheese in a stuck elevator.

It's not as if we're ALL the prototype Ugly American, but I remember a time back in the '60s where one would find their bucolic European backpack travels had less hassles if you told everyone you were Canadian.

Their endless search for any plausible justification for this--and Ms. Good's killing (murder, execution, culling, assassination, slaying) speaks volumes as to what unthinkable methods TrumpCo will turn to in order to inevitably achieve their oft-threatened fever dream goal of establishing martial law in predominantly blue cities and states. Human history says we ain't seen nuttin' yet, and should that beast escape it's cage--"whoa Nelly!"

I see our dangerously deranged dotard as the kind of arsonist who tends to set blazes not to get off on the fire itself, nor the destruction it causes. This chaos aficionado ----- it to all the response the fire generates--the sirens, the fire and ambulance crews and the oh!-so important media coverage--all caused by a sick, sundowning sociopath whose mother I suspect had no real intrest in properly toilet training him, hense his prefered choice in undergarments and odd predilection to fiil them as some strange manifestation of perceived power over others and whatever situation dares vex him.
5150...25th Amendment...whatever it takes to remove him before he sets a blaze too big to extinguish.

Where's the 2nd Amendment chorus? Wasn't resistance to a "tyrannical government" one of their hallowed reasons for it's inclusion, end of story? Or is that only when chubby militia/prepper goobers are cavalierly given Color of Authority, and wink-wink/nudge-nudge permission to act out on the old beer bar fever dream of supremacy they've been systematically groomed to believe in? The really tragic thing is we've been here before, haven't we? Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Trump continued to sundown, only this time in front of a entire world, which is now waiting for the other foot to fall, just like the rest of us.

KFC should use this opportunity to generate some timely free marketing with a commercial presenting a Trump lookalike with the Inaugural Col. Sander's Grease Prize, a gilded 8-piece golden bucket replete with lifelike miniature assorted sides. Collect them all!
Resist.

Mr. Legal...There'a ocean-front house in Cambria I've had my eye on for some time now. Of course I'd have to win the Powerball lottery to procure that one-of-a-kind, 3 bed/two story FLW-adjacent abode with it's $3.8m panoramic ocean views, but it's still listed lhe last time I checked. For those who can affod it, San Simeon, Cambria, Harmony, Cayucos and Morro Bay are truly magical places on the Central Coast, and PCH connects all of then to Big Sur, Carmel and Monterey to the North.
I confess I really miss the ocean sometimes.

I remember when she was a eager beaver news reader on local Phoenix television not that long ago. The botox made the camera lenses all fuzzy.

I confess I'm a little surprised Donny Bonespurs hasn't pulled the Insurrection Act trigger by now. I'm also surprised the locals have so-far avoided providing him with any plausible reason to do so. Resist.

I'm a little short this month, so can someone please post a link where I can sign up for some of that sweet Paid Agitator $$? Fox News can't stop yapping about it, so getting paid to Seig Heil right in Der Felon's face seems like a real win-win to me. Also...I'm at a loss locating my local Antifa headquarters, as I'm rather eager to cause some anti-social skullduggery and I would hate to think I bought this black spandex ninja suit for nothing. Resist.

I wonder if Big Biz America realizes they're flirting with not just biting, but ripping the entire arm off those who feed them?
