They come. “They're selling postcards of the hanging, they're painting the passports brown/The beauty parlor is filled with sailors, the circus is in town/Here comes the blind commissioner, they've got him in a trance/One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker, the other is in his pants/And the riot squad they're restless, they need somewhere to go/As Lady and I look out tonight, from Desolation Row”
When he was a toddler he was in a car accident. His mother and sister were killed. He was sent to the hospital with, among other injuries, a skull fracture. It was a traumatic brain injury, and one to a developing brain.
His brother is next to him in the hospital with leg injuries, and their dad, wrecked, is commuting & trying to come to terms with a shattered life.
He develops addictions. Lots of people do. People with good parents and bad ones, or no parents. Wealthy and destitute. Did his TBI and the emotional trauma of the accident play a role? Wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibilities.
And then his older brother gets brain cancer and dies.
That’s a lot of stuff to deal with.
Now he’s a 52 year old addict, whose been in and out of treatment programs. His family has fought for him to get and stay clean and sober.
Has he fit be stupid things? Probably. Addicts often do.
Does that mean his father is the head of a nefarious crime syndicate aimed at taking over the world?
No. That would be Trump, an actual criminal with ties to dictators.
Ignoring 1/6 and all the business fraud, any one else with those level classified documents unsecured and without need (even former presidents, who are now private citizens) would already be in jail. They would have been arrested the day the documents were discovered.
Gaslighting. Deflecting. Redirecting. Whatever was on this mysterious laptop, I’ll bet $1000 it wasn’t SCI documents, kept in an unlocked drawer at a social club.
If that group of morally upstanding and righteous R's really, truly and sincerely *don't* want to make it about "the prostitute", then they need to find a way to somehow stop talking about the Republican Party itself, considering that since the Donald ditched Stormy and bedded the GOP, it's spent the past 7 years slouching against every lamp post on every street corner in sight.
I doubt there's enough penicillin in the world to cure that crew of what now ails it.
I am so happy that Katie Porter won her election! Love her - the interview that Jon Stewart did with her on his podcast was super. Plus anyone who can wield a whiteboard like she can?
In their excitement to "get" Bidens & liberals - do you think they might be forgetting that the reason they are in DC is to, oh, I dont know, maybe represent their constituents - you know the people who actually voted them in - expected them to have "policies", pass laws, do their job for the American people?
Sounds like none of the slobbering reporters had any idea of asking those questions - our wonderful investigative media, right?
How appropriate to quote Macbeth. TFG, Gym, and the rest of the maggots are surely Lady Macbeth, descending into madness as they furiously scrub their hands while screaming "out damned spot".
Never has real life seemed so readily adaptable to the screen as a grotesque animated spectacular. It's all right here. TCINLA has created several outlines that hit the mark in capturing Republican politicians in their totally out of control performances.
'Quiverin' Qevin can't drive the Republican clown car 10 feet in a straight line because the Fwee-dumb Kawkuss in back will be throwing their feces out the windows at passers-by and taking turns grabbing for the steering wheel.'
Stay tuned. This is beyond Reality Television. Remember that star from The Apprentice? He's back!
Some things just never change, do they? These drooling, shit-throwing clown monkeys couldn't wait to tell the world their genius plans to try and bring Biden down. Well, OK, we knew that was coming so it's not news. When are they going to tell the world their plans for improving life in the U.S.? Not holding my breath.
Sad to say, I had to look up the Dylan piece (it is quite appropriate). Pity that one of the most beautiful songs in musical theatre is so fitting here as well! It will take me a while to replace that image with the original.
Republicans Lay Out Biden Investigations, but Democrat-Aligned Groups Promise Counteroffensive
“ Hours after winning control of the House, Republicans began laying out plans on Thursday for investigations of President Biden, his administration and his family, and were met with promises of a multimillion-dollar counteroffensive from a network of groups allied with Democrats.”
Sigh.
The thing that gets me regarding Hunter:
When he was a toddler he was in a car accident. His mother and sister were killed. He was sent to the hospital with, among other injuries, a skull fracture. It was a traumatic brain injury, and one to a developing brain.
His brother is next to him in the hospital with leg injuries, and their dad, wrecked, is commuting & trying to come to terms with a shattered life.

Nobody says it better than you and Bob Dylan TC. What a pathetic group of idiotic fools these people are. It truly is Desolation Row.

Is your designation of Mr. Jeffries as the presumptive replacement for Mrs. Pelosi just that or have I missed a news report somewhere?
Nice rundown, as usual, and an exceptional musical bed.

Absolutely! My favorite Dylan album.

“Their theft of oxygen finished.” 😂
So! Now we know how the Republicans are going to Save America. /s

"I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin'
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall"
You're on fire with the MAGAt zingers.
