well, he was in a good mood after waving around his classified documents…

Yeah you’re probably exactly right.

IIRC, at some point, Nauta had to replace the lids because the existing lids were too heavily annotated.

Owen Shroyer’s plea not as big a deal as we’d thought? So says Marcy.
Owen Shroyer's deal is a NORMAL plea. Not a cooperation plea.

The important part of his prosecution--which I reported a year ago--is that they seized e media personality's phone and YOU didn't notice. https://t.co/L0aqDFQ1uW

Remember all the evidence in the first impeachment? The lump couldn’t be bothered to do the actual damn job, but he was all over extorting an ally - orchestrating multiple “asks” from different members of the US government and following up on each.
I think organizing the “beautiful mind boxes” into props for a variety of performances to impress people or avenge his ever growing list of slights and grudges consumes pretty much all his attention. With a little left over for rallies and golf

Man, they really want Tucker’s stink off of them.
More detail: remaining 8 people from Tucker Carlson Tonight were told that their positions were no longer available and they could receive ‘enhanced severance’ if they stayed through July 14. They have the option of applying for any open positions at Fox, per source familiar…

OT – I do genealogy research for fun, and obituaries can be a pain the butt, especially when referring to married daughters. So many times a daughter becomes Mrs. John Jones. Okay, which daughter? There was more than one!

So TFG didn’t install a Coke Button at Bedminster like he had at the WH?
Oh, the humanity.

Agreed. I think tfg had a clear (self-aggrandizing) plan for what to do with the confidential info he filched, one that was clearly enough formed and strongly enough desired that he wasn’t willing to let go of the instruments he stole to enact it.

Yes. I didn’t mean to exclude the possibility of straight-up selling them, but I do think he likes the drama of flattering/blackmailing people into doing “favors”

I know way too many southerners born and raised in the south who disagree with your statement.
And yet it is where Maddow works whom @txlawyer credits with pricing together the Fraudulent electors scam being an avenue to go after Trump and his inner circle.
MSNBC isn’t all panderbait.

Oh piss off, I’m not your media authority. Even if I agree with you.
…and as i mentioned above, the first ones to break the collusion among alternafraud electors story were American Oversight. Not that I carry any torch for them, but they did us a huge service by successfully obtaining all seven states’ alternafraud documentation submissions and posting the PDF scans on the web.
I’m not saying MSNBC is junk, just that they’re running a business pandering to a certain audience, and that they might cohere around a certain conclusion is not dispositive proof that their conclusion is an undisputable thing (which is how this tangent started). They’re a TV channel with their established lane. You kind of know what you’re gonna get before you tune in.
Reminds me of a plot point in Gattaca.

Well he did reach for a golf shirt to prove Milley was a liar with regards to attacking Iran.

I never claimed you were, nor do I consider you one.
Just making the point to occamscoin that MSNBC is not all pander bait, and Maddow being one example.

Fair enough.
I find if I watch it for more than 2 hours I get the same exact “guests” saying the same thing, over… and over… and over

Yup. Trump’s people totally leaked it.
Holy shit. Trump’s response to the incredibly incriminating tape is even MORE insane than I expected.
