OT:
I note that Brandon Fellows has been sentenced, by Trump appointee Trevor McFadden, to 5 months for Criminal Contempt, regardless of the verdict the jury has yet to return, just because McFadden found Fellows to be an asshole in his courtroom.

It’s not a completion. I was lucky. Your cats are charming too.

I remember when Steve Scalise was outed for his association with David Duke and other blatant white supremacists. It was quaintly shocking in those days. Good times.
Oh, and good morning, Cleo.

It’s criminal the way Joe Biden has botched the Federal response to Hurricane Idalia.

Laura Ingraham and John Eastman aren’t real lawyers. They just play being lawyers for fun, profit, and to satisfy their criminal instincts.

Ol’ Scalise can’t catch a break.

Look at what is coming out about Vivek Ramaswany.
He is another con artist and people are investigating his past. Today at Daily Kos there is this diary showing how Vivek Ramaswamy made his money. He bought a pharmaceutical company that was trying to find a drug for Alzheimer’s. The company did four test trials and they were all unsuccessful, then Ramaswamy put his mother (she was a doctor) in charge of the program and voila, the company then started showing breakthroughs on the test results. There are warning signs of stock manipulations and most importantly Vivek Ramaswamy has a friend who here in the United States was one of the most hated men in the country, that friend is Martin Shkreli, aka “pharma bro.” Ramaswamy was at one time Shkreli’s largest investor.

I am displeased the “dunking” the traitorous Professor Eastman didn’t involve repeatedly immersing him in fluids…
I can suggest several liquids to make his experience more…interesting.

Eastman faces a gruesome fate. Exposed, ridiculed, and rejected by old comrades. A fool. A tool. He moves through a gauntlet of abuse as if a general reviewing his troops. Batshit crazy and craven to boot.

Ain’t it a shame when gaslighting is attempted by an untrained novice?
Mr. Eastman needs a few lessons at Trump University.
