If Kamala Harris keeps on kicking MAGA ass, I wouldn’t be surprised if the entire party implodes. Trump is weak and getting weaker and if it’s looking like he’s really gonna lose they’ll start looking for someone to blame.

What do you want to bet that one of those boxes in the gold-plated bathroom contained receipts from Egypt?

So… why would Putin give Biden an apparent foreign policy victory, after Don ‘Logan Act’ Trump had it sewn up as an election boost?

I sure would like to know what drugs they were slipping to Robert Mueller during that time. A little convo with Comey and his successor, Wray, might tie up a few loose ends. I’d venture that Mueller has been long out of orbit. Maybe Mueller’s wife, Ann, is still doing bible study with her dear friend, Christine Barr. Would be nice to be a fly on the wall for some of those sessions.

I hope one of the first actions Madame President will take is to dump Wray, literally, in the Potomac.

From the WaPo article today:

In the final weeks of the 2020 presidential race, after the investigation had been closed, CNN revealed that the mysterious courthouse hearing involved an Egyptian bank. The network also reported that special counsel Robert S. Mueller III had led the case, which centered on an informant’s tip that money had flowed through the bank to help fund Trump’s campaign. CNN also reported that, in the end stages of the probe, some prosecutors proposed subpoenaing Trump’s financial records, before “top officials” ultimately concluded that the case had reached a dead-end.

For a closer time perspective. I’m adding a link to a Politico Report from 2019. Read the last pararagraph. Some reporter might make a little phone call to Glenn Kirchner, a investigator who worked for Mueller:

Wow! Isn’t there an old political saw to the effect that “when you’ve lost Rasmussen,…”

Yes, and I think Trump '24 47 would’ve had memory holes installed in all of its offices by now.

Here’s what I don’t get: Trump supposedly has a direct line into Putin, his best buddy, so why doesn’t he ask him?

And, as Biden said, when asked about Trump’s claim he could have negotiated the release at no cost, “Why didn’t he do it when he was President?”

Old school: Blonde on Blonde; Highway 61 Revisited; Bringing it All Back Home; The Basement Tapes; John Wesley Harding. The more “recent” stuff (oh, 1997 and Time Out of Mind), Modern Times, Love and Theft . . .still dig the Tell-Tale Signs, where such a large chunk of his recent greatest, with better arrangement reside.

Edit; well, it’s Bob: nominate Planet Waves as his most underrated. Honorable mention to New Morning. (Thank you, The Big Lebowski, for resurrecting.) Also love Oh Mercy.

The great Dylan Critic Richard Lehnert, believed Nashville Skyline and Another Side of Bob Dylan were the only two were Bob’s singing was emotionally honest.

This is actually the huge failure of our media in a nutshell. Being manipulated and after decades, not being able to change it even if they wanted to. They’re helpless!

Putin probably knows Trump is going to lose, so he may as well try to play nice with the new administration.

On the clip I saw last night, Joe appeared to anticipate the question and had the answer before it was even asked.

You could see the faint smile on Biden’s face, as he let the question hang so everybody could hear the answer.

Little things like that give Joe simple pleasures in life   : - )
