Except for Thomas and Alito, who will happily do so while on their billionaire buds vacays.
I’m smitten by that kitten.
Shhhh, don’t tell Cleo.
The people of disaster stricken N. Carolina are a bunch of ingrates. Donald Trump has increased their mold output exponentially.
Once he became President, Trump said, “I think we’re going to recommend that FEMA go away.”
The agency has also “halted $10 billion in disaster relief funds intended to help people across the country, cut off housing assistance for thousands of Helene survivors,” Politico also added FEMA has “ended a policy of fully reimbursing the state of North Carolina for debris removal.”
“Whatever the policy merits of Trump’s disaster-relief plans, they feel like a bait and switch to some people struggling to recover from Helene,” the outlet wrote. “After blaming Biden for faltering relief efforts, Trump has seemed more focused on trashing FEMA than boosting the recovery in North Carolina.”
Please pity buy our book.
They’ve been tossing this around for a few years - think it was in Project 2025. If the goal is to crash the MBS market then this should work well.

Imagine a country that had four years to bring a lawless individual to justice and couldn’t do it. Then imagine that individual elected president. Imagine what he thinks about the rule of law and how he will ignore that rule since it didn’t, at long last, apply to him.
Add to that the Congress SHOULD have added some teeth to the Emoluments clause even with them thinking oh there is no way in hell he’ll be back in the WH - but there are others just as willing to grift esp since he’s shown them the way.

“It should only be undertaken after a thorough, dispassionate investigation of credible evidence.”
If that’s the bar, this DOJ won’t be able to bring a single case, ever.
Make it so.
A couple of years ago we bought a doggie stroller because my little girl miniature pinscher, Cali was infirm. Sadly, she passed away shortly after we got the stroller, but it’s getting use as Mrs VH has elderly dog-walking friends and both have old dogs with bad legs.

Gotta walk now.

The Judicial Branch isn’t about to unilaterally disarm.
The “big bill” gutted the court’s power to hold anyone in contempt

Not sure what to make of the markets this morning.
Economic disaster bill passed the House yesterday. Jitters.

“Man is the only animal that blushes, or needs to.”
I’m pretty sure my dogs sometimes were blushing, underneath their fur or hair coats, when I came upon them doing something naughty, like getting into the kitchen garbage.
The strange thing about this story is that it’s not new. We have known about it for at least a year. It was met with some outrage then. So what were we expecting? I guess more outrage and it is outrageous that Biden’s health wasn’t immediately reported by them. The US could be in a better place if they had.

Do let me know when either of those Presstitutes is questioned about the mental state of the current asshole in the White House…
Kidnapping, yes, amounting to rendition with no due process.
My heart, be still….

Imagine what he thinks about the rule of law and how he will ignore that rule since it didn’t, at long last, apply to him.
Trump has been committing crimes and frauds, stealing money, refusing to pay invoices, scamming campaign money, duping retirees out of their bank accounts and whatever other skeevy, lawless conduct you can think of. For 5 decades. It occurred to him long ago he is not subject to our laws.
Does anyone have an update on the amount of money Trump has deposited into an account in the name of E. Jean Carroll, an account she can access and make withdrawals from?
2+ years and not a dime. Yeah, Trump fears our courts. Like my cat fears a mouse.

NEW YORK (AP) — A jury found Donald Trump liable Tuesday for sexually abusing advice columnist E. Jean Carroll in 1996, awarding her $5 million in a judgment that could haunt the former president as he campaigns to regain the White House.
" I want to elevate another prism through which to examine the Trump II presidency: white Christian nationalism"
Led by the most unchristian person alive, in fact, a true Christian would recognize Trump as the anti-Christ…

Stupid humans will still be long dead in the harsh environment we’re creating, but it seems unlikely that humans can turn the Earth into Mars.
Venus, otoh…
