If the legal system can’t prosecute Donald Trump for his attempt to steal the last election before the next election takes place, it’s a fundamental failure of the system.

No it’s a fundamental failure of Merrick Garland diddling about for nearly two year. The MFWWNBN should already have been tried, convicted and imprisoned. Thanks a lot Merrick.

Most likely short timeline:

Trial start by around early June-end early Sept

Most likely long timeline:

Trial start by late July-end late Oct

Either scenario would be fantastic! Bring it on!

David Kurtz led with, "The Speaker Has No Clothes

“The House GOP under Speaker Mike Johnson is flopping around like a fish in the bottom of the boat.”

Reminds me of the final months of Watergate (~spring '74), when on Sixty Minutes’ “Point / Counterpoint,” Nicholas Von Hoffman / James Kilpatrick, when Von Hoffman referred to Nixon as “a dead mouse on the kitchen floor.” Kilpatrick, an unapologetic white supremacist, took exception. It was a delight.

It’s almost as if the GOP elected a Speaker of the House who had no actual idea what a Speaker is supposed to do, or how the job is done; it’s as if his only qualifications were being a Christo-Fascist GOPer, and not being Qevin McCarthy.

Heroic Wildlife Alert!

Stunning award-winner from the Beeb.

And we’re slowly wiping out these animals. True they’re vicious and rapacious carnivores that will eat a man down to his shoes, but still, very cute.

  • Nikki Haley loses to ‘none of these candidates’ in Nevada GOP primary.

Billionaires are now wondering who this None of These Candidates fellow is so they can donate to him. Seems like a real up and comer.

George Conway deeply impressed with the Circuit Court’s ruling, logic, reasoning, and writing. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did.

I remember that being the whole argument when his name was presented. They knew he knew nothing and were more than happy to continue with that thought.

I guess they are flailing, but itll come up for a vote again and it is not yet evident this will cause them any electoral problems. No one is talking about anything but “sEcUrInG tHe BoRdER!!!” now, so it seems they got what they wanted.

This, from

and

, is really great, especially given that Karen Henderson seemingly overcame concern about “floodgates” in yesterday’s ruling. https://msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/trump-immunity-claim-rejected-dc-circuit-rcna137474

Now that a headline I am keeping.
Damn right!

This is highly credible information coming from Dr. James Hansen.

@MarkCranfield_
Staggering acceleration, mainly due to reduction of toxic air pollution, drives multiyear average global warming past 2 degrees C within 15 years, meaning that societies collapse over the next 5, 10, 15 years. The land surface warms at least 50% more than the global average.

@DrJamesEHansen
Staggering acceleration of global warming is underway, driven by a huge planetary energy imbalance, which in turn is traced mainly to our Faustian aerosol bargain. Six months more of the acceleration are still to come. See Measuring Stick

@MarkCranfield_
So when La Nina recedes after 3 years of hoarding heat and the warm subsurface ocean is revealed, a pulse of water vapour GHG evaporates into the atmosphere, raising temperatures on land and energising storms.”

Allowing for the full effects of extra water vapour is akin to doubling the increases in average temperature. GHGs cause energy to be pumped into the oceans which rebounds onto humanity in the form of water vapour. Water vapour GHG is an extremely powerful amplifying and accelerating feedback.

It would be a striking paradox if the President, who alone is vested with the constitutional duty to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,” were the sole officer capable of defying those laws with impunity.

We may have to come up with something more appropriate than calling them a bunch of clowns.
