“Won’t” say? Can’t say. The Republicans are in charge.

OT— R.I.P. Kobe Bryant.

Under the Trump administration law enforcement has managed to not kill one black person for no reason as far as the news is concerned. Amazing.

I’m starting to read what’s not in the news. There’s enough to sink Trump yet he floats along like an unmoored septic tank.

I am so moved by this news. Kobe was a guy that stuck with one team, reached the heights of his field, and gave back to the people. A real loss.

For those who objected to Speaker Pelosi holding back sending the articles to the Senate, her longterm objective - burdening the Rs with incontestable evidence of Drumpf’s perfidy - is paying off daily.

On the other subject, I met Kobe when he was at Duke and volunteered with a community project. Very down-to-earth. His parents did a great job raising him.

I keep thinking about him and his wife and family having to deal with the terrible loss of him and the daughter and all the other friends and fans who loved and respected him. He will be lauded and well-remembered for a long, long time.

Other people currently taking up space in this country…

not at all.

It’s not up to Crow to decide about this.

Why presume that it is?

So if I engaged in a heated discussion about how I planned to “take out” a Very Prominent Person, I’d probably end up trying to explain to Very Prominent Person’s security people how when I said “take out”, I was using the phrase different from the way everybody else does.

I listened to the whole 1:23 minutes of the recording. Pigs at the Trough they should name it. I hope it is transcribed soon for dissection. It’s a fascinating and rare glimpse into the entitled elite ignorantly and flippantly shoving America’s might around as if it were a game that only they had a stake in. Marie Antoinette’s fate would be too kind for them.

And even more sadly, none of this will make a bit of difference to the outcome of this trial. Trump will never, ever be convicted by the GOP majority in the Senate. The best I can take away from all this is that he will forever be the third President in history to be impeached, and hopefully, he will be badly beaten at the ballot box next November. The alternative is truly inconceivable. But then I alway hold out hope for a massive coronary, a stroke or him giving a press conference in the nude.

I just wanna read about that, not actually see it.

I am sickened either way, but I was searching for an example of showing the world how completely unbalanced he truly is. 25/45.

I don’t want him to die in office. I don’t want to have to hear the press try and laude him. Or show fake sorrow, or hear how he didn’t do things like anyone else -and how great that was. Or all the stupid conspiracy theories about how Hilary had him killed.
No.
Long life and Good health to him. I mean it sincerely.
And, as in Princess Bride:
To The Pain.

Please add: State and federal prosecutors in New York will reduce his business empire to a smoking hole and he will face a cavernous debt that bankruptcy won’t fix.
Utter humiliation and total financial ruin.

Well Westley didn’t exactly wish him good health, but since we’ve got the wallowing and freakish appearance already, I’ll second a long life of misery.
