So, the Hur report shows that Biden is a shuffling old dear who can't remember squat but is fully capable of weaponizing not only the DOJ and the FBI, but DAs and AGs wherever he wants to . . . is that what Mango Mussolini wants us to believe?

Logical thinking has no place in Trump's sad little "toolbox" of life skills--he lives and breathes the strange & tainted air in his own little self-created universe. Critical thinking skills don't have much place in the noggins of his most rabid cultists, either.

His rabid cultists are beyond logic and reasoning, no question about it.

Mango Mussolini!!! Now that's funny!

Mango Mussolini didn't seem to know what was in the Hur report--which just shows he's deteriorating!

In an appearance after his trial date in Manhattan was set, a visibly angry Donald Trump attacked Joe Biden for sleeping at night.

Trump said:

I’m stuck here. It’s an election interference case. Nobody’s ever seen anything like it in this country. It’s a disgrace. It’s a disgraceful situation actually. And we’ll just have to figure it out. I’ll be here during the day, and I’ll be campaigning during the night, and Biden should be doing the same thing, but he’ll be sleeping. This is all from the DOJ. This all comes out of Washington. They’re coordinating with the district attorney and the AG. The case tomorrow is a rigged deal. It’s all coordinated with the district attorney, and it’s coordinated with the attorney general of New York. Laticia James should be ashamed of herself. She’s campaigned for years trying to get Trump without knowing anything about me. It’s all rigged. It’s a rigged state. It’s a rigged city.

He's right. Nobody has ever seen anything like his bullshit in this country before, and it is a disgrace. With El Lardo, it's *always* projection.

At the time the majority of the Republicans in the legislature went to their graves hating FDR, which is what will happen with the magas and Biden. The hatred was and is continually fueled by being on the wrong side of justice, history, rationality, and the expressed desires of the majority of Americans.

Thanks for bringing us up to speed on one of the many court cases. And a special thanks for reminding us that some of the vulnerable R-House members may not go along with a phony impeachment of Biden. Losing in NY two days ago should serve as a reminder.

“Congress ought to impeach crooked Joe Biden for attacking his political opponent by weaponizing the DOJ, the FBI, and even the local DAs and attorney generals against his political opponent"...says the man who continues to weaponize the House and his "psycho-pants" friends in the GOP. Any exposure to his likeness makes me wish I could bitch slap him from here to eternity.

My parents were all for Stevenson in that race. As were the Malenka parents. I know that because wandering around the neighborhood, I ran into Robert Malenka, then 5, now a Stanford professor, getting out of his family car, and announcing to me (age 7) "We want Deeb'nee (that's my best rendition of how he pronounced Stevenson. Yes, my family wanted Deeb'nee too.

Trump's going lose tomorrow when Judge Engordon <-- not sure of the spelling - let's us all know in his anticipated

ruling, how much the Orange

Yam is going to owe the state

of NY in $, real estate and

licenses. Hoping it hurts. This

particular mutated yam deserves it.

For the record, I like most yams. Just not bloated,

mutated orange yams.

I believe it. I understand he was caught trying to throw one of his "followers" out the window at Military School a few years later. Such a guy. Such a disgusting excuse for a human being. I haven't had the energy to check out the story, but it seems that even that bad boy Putin is rooting for Biden. Give me a break. These are truly the sorriest bunch of dangerous, insecure, and nasty losers ever.

Now that would be a surprise....although, Putie isn't stupid. In spite of the fact that Putin has owned Trump for years and runs him like an asset...he knows Trump is unreliable in the extreme. The instant Trump feels that it would be to his benefit, he'll throw even Putin under the bus (although Putin would merely laugh from his perch of safety in Moscow)

Sad news indeed. The useful idiots don’t think. They react. They are enjoying power and the spotlight for once in their tiny lives even if it means dimming the lights for the rest of us. Navalny’s death in a Putin hell hole will fall on deaf MAGA ears, but it should be yet another spur to action for the rest of us.

I am assuming that Don Don has already prepared his script for the trial with interesting twists and turns that has HIM delivering a Perry Mason speech ending in his favor; wearing a red cape with blue and white leggings

The red cape needs to be long and voluminous. Although it would be amusing to see him in an actual Superman costume sized to fit him. (I personally know that belly fat and leggings do not succeed as a “look.”) Maybe someone could AI his head onto a portrait of HenryVIII.

Do you think that just MAYBE the rats have figured out that their ship is beginning to sink? One would think that they might be a little smarter than El Jefe, but if he had been dispensing from his free-for-all pharmacy all those years to his "friends" and building his little black book of "stuff" on them at the same time, maybe it's not so much brains as fear. We'll have to see. When the dirt starts flying during The Storm, will the rats dodge and run, or will they nestle around their guy and hope he won't rat on them?

The Rat King

The term was not originally used in reference to actual rats, but for persons who lived off others. Conrad Gesner in Historia animalium (1551–58) stated: "Some would have it that the rat waxes mighty in its old age and is fed by its young: this is called the rat king."

For some reason, I thought of this story. Lindsey Nelson, the great sportscaster, was assistant director of NBC Sports and said at one meeting, the network's vice president for religious programming came into a meeting looking a bit discombobulated and said, quietly, "I've had all the Norman Vincent Peale I can take for one morning."

Off topic question: what do you know about the app telegram? I sent an email to Maga Mike yesterday and got this response today: "Very well said. Send me a text on telegram." First of all, my email was NOT "very well said," nor was it intended to be. Second, all I know about that app is that it's Russian owned and appears to be used by people who have something to hide. Third, I don't know who wrote that response, but I am quite sure it wasn't him. Thanks!

I’m really frustrated with the DOJ for sitting on these cases for so long. They should have been decided at least a year ago, if not sooner. Why all the delays pushing the cases into election season.

I can't imagine they couldn't have gotten on this much earlier--like two years ago. I blame Garland. He has dragged his feet on something that's absolutely critical. I can't imagine that the DOJ had to get everything else out of the way before getting on the Insurrection and Trump's role in it. Some things are obvious priorities.

I’m sure they had lots of cases, but I can’t think of many types of cases that would have made such an impact on our country. Also, by appointing Jack Smith as special counsel left the rest of the DOJ free to pursue all their other cases. Instead it seems like Merrick Garland hoped that if they ignored it, it will all go away. He should have known better.
