The griddle is about as sizzlin hot, TC, as it can get. I speak grateful grateful grateful that it’s cast iron and impenetrable.

Thank you for all details on the emerging script. Knowledge is power. Lies are merely cheap bravado.

Wonder who the mole is? trump must be hurling ketchup and god knows what else onto the walls of Mar A Lardbutt and frothing at the mouth figuring out who that is. Knowledge that precise of where the evidence was stored means someone within trump’s innermost circle is the source…trying to save their ass in a deal?

Rumors are flying - someone close to him who wants to cooperate before things get bad.

This is a flashpoint. Yikes! The Republicans made lies (the evidence was planted) and accusations (the DOJ and FBI have been “politicized”) and damned lies “It’s a witch hunt by terrible people” FORCING a response that they will NEVER accept but will only twist to foment the beast that is their rabid, hateful base. Stay safe and out of their way … if lawmakers need extra protection, it should be given to them. Remember, the J6 committee is still working … still collecting evidence… they are surely feeling the wheels of justice grinding. Of course they’re going to scream unfair. Hypocrites don’t recognize irony.

What a moron-signs into law the very thing that's gonna put the nails in his coffin. Me, I think Meadows might be trying to save his ass.

I think Stephanie is suggesting Meadows could be "the mole".

That's the guy the Trumpers are zeroing in on.

Not Fredo? Ah...I mean, Eric?

The idea that this search (not a raid) could be performed in a manner or at a time that wouldn't provide a "backfire" - is just silly fantasy. The outrage of the radical gang surrounding TFG is completely predictable. Name one way that the boxes could have been retrieved without MJT screaming in response "Defund the FBI!" We worry too much about what people will "think" when we do the right thing. The wingnuts don't!

We worry too much about behavior we can't control. Fools will be fools and idiots will be idiots. And there will always be sheep and lemmings ready to run off the cliff when prompted to.

The DOJ handled this beautifully. The guilty parties are squirming. The cult is headed into a spiral dive as more and more of it's crew turn the monster in.

Please remember that this blowhard of a former President has spent a lifetime hurting others. Destroying careers. Humiliating. Cheating. Stealing. The number of people TFG has pissed off over the decades is incalculable. Karma, karma, karma.

The DOJ is being professional. TFG is being predictably childish and now...frightened. His statements will get worse and worse. There will be violence. People will be hurt. Let's put the blame where it belongs. On TFG and and the pond scum who have enabled him and given him a pass on every important violation of law and his acts of indecency. And then...there is plenty of blame for those who continue to vote for candidates who LIE every day.

If the radical whackos actually dare to bring guns to the streets, it won't go well for them. The government has more and bigger guns. What are they thinking? Oh, I forgot. They don't think. They react based on cues from the Neo-Nazis who don't care who they sacrifice.

Christine's right Bill. You did access my grill!

But I will always stand in awe of your flames. Your fireballs are devastating and on the mark.

Do I detect an ember of optimism in your recent posts?

I am looking for green shoot through the snowbank wherever possible.

I once asked Dick Best how they got through the period between Pearl Harbor and Midway, with all the bad news. He said "We did our jobs. The alternative was unthinkable." In the end, it worked.

You must have accessed TC’s grill. That commentary is sizzlin’ hot, Bill.

And on the correct offensive. Hard truths.

Yes Bill! Perfectly stated! It's all big talk and whining and false bravado, until the shit hits the street. Unfortunately I think you are right - there will be violence and people will be hurt, but these "behind the keyboard" instigators are no match for the military, who will be called into put down violence from these whack jobs.

I smile in satisfaction when they hoist themselves on their own petards--the 2018 law he hoped would nail Hilary has come back to bite him. Sometimes the world rights itself!

(And, I bet the inside source at Mar-a-Lago is a woman.)

How often do you get to say that phrase. I’ve said it twice today, once to a blank stare - but still!!

Would seem to follow the current pattern. Everyone seems to forget that there is a former First Lady with her own staff living there that might be interested in her own insurance policy. Hmmmm.

I don’t think it’s Meadows. All he’s capable of is scrolling on his phone and spending the money that trump gave to his organization.

WOW TC. Yep the griddle is hot (thanks Christine) and there is an inside source! Thanks for the latest TC. Keep it coming.

Expand full comment

To quote Christine, “This is SIZZLIN’”.

There is someone inside. Let the Republqans contort themselves all they want. This isn’t “politics” (well, it would be if the tables were turned, because the Republiqans are the ones who operate like that).

As much of a circus as this has become kudos to the FBI for denying fodder for Faux. And cheers to the archivists that made it happen. Still not one apologist has made the case he did nothing wrong. And I’m still waiting for TFG to disclose the subpoena and inventory.

And Eric a commentator on Faux. The only people who pretend to listen to him. Stephen Colbert’s impersonation of Eric is so spot on and such comedy.

I sure hope that this is the fatal blow we've been counting on... (but who is the source?) guesses please!
