Wooo Hooo TC. This is it. I read his career bio from an earlier blog posting by a member ((forget who). Jack Smith has everything needed. The MAGA crowd should be checking out where their bunkers and safe houses are. This man is not coming from the Hague to lose a case. Trump, if he has brains left, should scared to death---and so should the vast array of fellow and sister losers who are going to be swept up as detritus. It can't come soon enough. I've had a 360- degree swing in my spirits. Heavy artillery has arrived....... PS Thanks for all the wonderful stories about the cats. What is needed...... Have a good weekend!!

"Marjorie Traitor Goon immediately called for Attorney General Merrick Garland to be impeached and the DOJ to lose its funding for following the law and investigating Trump."

I am so surprised she hasn't been fried by a Jewish Space Laser already! She must be guarded by a legion of demon idiots and white-redneck-style Jeebus.

Fried by a Jewish space laser then grown in a peach tree dish only to be made into gazpacho. So sad

How they found enough idiots to re-elect her is an indictment for Georgia.

I lived in her district for 10 years and it is chock full of ignorant racists who would be happy if the clock were turned back 100 years just with electricity, trash TV, and cold beer.

Thank you for being on top of this. Appreciate your prompt insights.

No kidding! I'm writing postcards to GA and keep getting interrupted with new postings 🤗

With MTG and Cong. Jordan, among others of their ilk, in House committee chairs, the media will have abundant grist for the irony and sarcasm mill. We won’t see much legislative progress, barring defections from the GOP ranks, but we will have lots of amusement and abundant ammunition for 2024.

If there is a god/gods, the 2024 election will be the final reckoning for the denizens of MAGAt world, and will cement humanity's future as an evolved species that does not fling feces at anything it disagrees with.

NOTHING amusing about their evil, and it is evil.

"Democrats should use the lame duck session to pass a special funding appropriation for the Department of Justice as a matter of national security."

Love this! It IS a matter of national security. Who knows what the cornered tfg will do?

I keep hoping he'll have a conniption fit that ends in a fatal heart attack. (I think this is the first time I've ever typed the word, "conniption")

Expand full comment

I would much rather it be a stroke. One that permanently affects his speech, leaving him unable to talk but still prosecutable.

Expand full comment

I like your thinking on that!

Expand full comment

Sounds like my grandma! She talked about conniption fits a lot. They were not for the faint of heart. Could end badly. 🙀

Expand full comment

My mama knew what a conniption fit was, had them regularly. They can be hazardous to one’s health. But only if you have a heart and a soul.

Remember that the MAGAts always accuse their opponents of what they themselves are doing.

Madame three-names, the only one weaponizing the DOJ was TFG.

If TFG were smart he would start quietly packing his too long ties and bronzer. Here is a list of destinations with no extradition treaty with the US.

Love this one, Bill Alstrom.

He got his TRUMP 7 whatever 7 going again with a new paint job thanks to all of the mostly elderly donors he fleeced telling them they were helping him fight the big lie. Good riddance you evil orange toddler better known as the “Bad Seed” Rhoda Penmark in pants. Fly away and don’t enter our air zone again!!

Actually, when he's indicted, I want to see him have to wear an ankle bracelet, surrender his passport and deactivate "Trump Force One" because he's a flight risk. Also $100 million cash bail due to that risk. Even better would be remand because he's a flight risk.

I was actually hoping(wishful thinking) that when the orange blowhard wannabe dictator was announcing his run for 24 the DOJ/FBI would come with full body shackles and take him to jail. Would have been sweet but wishful thinking on my part

Expand full comment

I was really hoping they'd arrest him the night before.

Expand full comment

You are right. My wish for him to disappear sometimes overcomes how his fate should roll out and sting him in the ass like a scorpion. Coming from the knowledge of a Scorpio I don’t know what I was thinking🙀

Cancer males (me) and Scorpio women should keep at least a continent between them. :-)

Well ok!! I hope the California Oregon state line is enough, you in southern Ca and me in northern OR?

Expand full comment

About as close as we should get. 45 years ago I was involved with a Scorpio female and I am still amazed Sacramento is not a smoking crater. :-)

Expand full comment

Yeah well I had a relationship with a cancer and we were compatible in some areas and not in others. I’m a little more mellow Scorpio, maybe the nurse in me. Who knows

Expand full comment

That might well be. That's true about "compatible in some areas and not in others."

You know it’s all a mystery TC 💙💛

I am reminded of political action thrillers when I consider the resume and the unassuming name of Jack Smith. May he go down in history for taking down Goliath and the goon squad.

Expand full comment

I'm reassuired by his answer to a reporter who asked him in 2011, when he took over the public integrity unit, if he was worried about the political power that could be wielded by the people he was going to go after. He said:

"If I was someone who could be cowed, I would have sought a different line of work."

When is MTG up for re-election? We

need to keep track of all these maggots and do everything we can

can to vote them out. I'm sure there

are several rethuglicans in the House who will have to be re-elected within the next year or 2.

Dems could possibly regain the House majority. Dreaming it could

happen.

She was just re-elected with 69% of the vote. She's in a very safe red district.

Expand full comment

Yeah, you're right. I forgot. Slap me in the head. She is a NAZI! She might as well put the uniform on.

she's not POLISHED enough to be any kind of competent Nazi.

Give him the money NOW, the cretins lie, know that they lie, and lie about that. There is not an iota of good faith anywhere in their world, religiously, politically, or morally. Ted Cruz is the spokesmodel for political evil. That’s why, in 2018, a Repub idiot knocked on my door and said he was collecting for and supporting Ted Cruz. As I laughed hysterically, he said what is funny. I said, boy, have you knocked on the wrong door. He is the antiChrist in this house.

A turning point perhaps. Using the lame duck session to fund DOJ's special counsel seems like a very smart idea. In the meantime, I have been listening to a lecture by Marci Shore of Yale University and thinking about the Maidan struggle - the Revolution of Dignity that took Yanukovich down (but unfortunately brought Paul Manafort to the former guy). Seems like we should all be working to strengthen civic society (create the world we envision and that we believe can be made real) and mount daily or even every week demos in DC and around the country to speak truth to the gop "power" which will be flooding the zone with propaganda the likes of which we are just beginning to get. Their presser was the first salvo of stupidity and venality and it will not be the last. This crowd that will now control the house with perhaps 2 votes (wonder what it really will be since it looks like Boezo of CO has won) will not let any sane person come up for air. So it behooves anyone supportive of democracy and human dignity to not let this crowd drown out our voices or ideas in favor of the very unfunny circus we're going to get full on beginning January.
