If you have watched a minute of cable news in the last 24 hours, you have likely heard the leaked audio of Donald Trump confessing to the nation that he knowingly possessed classified documents that he knew he should not have, that he should not show them to those present in the room, that he did not have the ability to declassify them as an ex-president and had not declassified them when he took them during his term as president, and still apparently showing them to the other people in the room who did not have the clearance to see them, which at least one of those individuals acknowledged.
It's SAD that it takes the big guy with the big brain to explain to Jack Smith what is and is not illegal, but that's the way it is when you know so much more than the experts about everything.
I keep wondering why they have not specifically, at the very least, asked for another search by lawyers at Bedminster since apparently some of the papers were physically there and some classified documents remain missing. Is it possible they are holding back a possibility of an additional charge in a court in NJ since they cannot create double jeopardy, but could charge for showing the documents to people without clearance which happened in NJ? A sort of use of one aspect of the tapes to nail down the intent and knowledge part of the present charges and reservation of another aspect for a trial elsewhere should this one buckle under the burden of both Cannon and a local jury?
Not only were there named people in the room then, but also underlings who brought coke standing over his shoulder as he waved his papers. I do hope they have interviewed those people as well. So much watchful waiting to be done...
Raw Story mentioned that Brad Raffensperger is to be interviewed by Jack Smith in Georgia and that this will be the first time the DOJ will have interviewed him, with an interjection "how is that possible"? It really does seem astonishing. I want the powers of Justice to go all in on every single mote of evidence, pursue this rat down every single tunnel.
$36 to $38 for t-shirts? What a rip off…but the MAGAts will gladly sacrifice their $$$ for El Jefe de Mar-a-Lardo. Amazing how they gripe about the cost of food and gasoline but have so much disposable income to support their favorite billionaire, who if he were a bonafide billionaire wouldn’t need their money in the first place. Try explaining that to the mathematically challenged dopes in the MAGAt universe…
I would love to contribute buckets of warm cat barf from my many willing cats to completely submerse Stefanik in. At least Marge 3 toes and Boobert have the excuse of being dumber than a rock. Stefanik is nothing more than an opportunistic ass kisser.
I feel terribly left out of this whole cat barf thing. but, as objectionable as the substance is, I can amass a whole lot of dog shit in very little time.
I was going to offer the same item! I have two sibling kitties going on 14 who have developed sensitive tummy issues and trust me I could fill a few buckets in no time flat. I would be more than happy to help dump cat barf on Stefanik.
Wow TC, I await your all your posts as patiently as possible because I love your pillorying of the stupid evil effing creeps and your sharing of the fabulousness of cats but this post here! Absolutely stunning! Thank you!
you left out that he added they were building plans for a golf course. it makes a certain kind of sense to have added that a week after he used the excuse that he had to take more time with the documents because he had to weed out his golf shirts and other items of clothing.
I am one of the great slobs of all time and someone who can tolerate LOTS of mixing up of documents (last week I found a forty-year old beret in a pile of books I promised myself I'd "get to" over the last year or so), but golf shirts among classified documents strains even my credulity.
and when he used the word "bravado" yesterday when every other excuse was found to have holes in it, my first thought was that there's no way the word "bravado" could have sprung from his lips without some kind of "coaching." if we assume for a second that one of his lawyers suggested using it, it makes for a really pathetic defense. millions of dollars for the brilliant legal strategy of "I Lied About Everything" sure feels like somebody's getting ripped off. but, as we know, it's money he's fleeced from the suckers who "love" him.
quite a pass we've come to. wouldn't it be nice if we could call a "do-over" for this entire benighted century?
Shocking - Ari Fleischer stated the actual truth. Not many surprises here since it’s just low down republican evil, but that did make me do a double take. Chump never surprises since he uses the same script ad nauseam. The Republican Party will hopefully have enough rope to do the job permanently. But the cult will never give up their hero. It’s what makes a cult a cult. It’s also why they usually self-destruct, or fly away in an alien flying saucer. The damage is still undecided for this one…
"It’s a constant tug-of-war between moderates looking to govern and hardline conservatives looking to score political points or settle grievances," If there are, in fact, such moderate Republicans, they need to tighten their belts, hitch up their breeches, and tell the crazies to button it. Since this hasn't happened in the two years and some months after the insurrection, I doubt the existence of such a group.
Oh, I think the so-called "moderates" do exist...it's just that the "moderates" are so spineless, rubbery and flaccid that the maggot-brained extremists in the House are using them as handy floormats to stand on so they can remain on their feet putting forth their crazed proposals.
Notice that none of the investigative or pseudo-legislative crap that has been offered by the extremists has A THING to do with serving their actual constituents with substantive policies or legislation that would be helpful in their lives. Nope. All they do is fling red meat to their MAGAt base.
The Lincoln Group may be it. In my family, many remain deliberately ignorant and piously religious. Maybe they are linked…. What happened to humble religious? Gone in a whiff of chump
Elise Stefanik just got added to the shit list. Everyone on the shit list should be black listed, isolated and treated like criminals, because they are. Their indictments are only waiting to happen.
Thevupsidevof all this is that at least a bunch of lawyers are getting paid to behave correctly and the rest are getting disbarred.
Hey, man. Been a while ( I'll explain), but righteous deep dive on pus. It was hit hard and not playable.
Cool. If there is any justice in this world ( am I high?) you will not mention that insane fucking comment ( department of redundancy department) pus made about all former presidents including Joe but not pus owned slaves as part of their family history. Charlie Pierce already called out FUCX Pravda on this, just by talking about JFK. We'll skip Bobby junior for being a stupid motherfucker for now. Nice family legacy, fuckwit. I'm hoping sister Rory or cousin Caroline will do an intervention. What a dick.
Apologies for being absent in commenting on one of my favorite blogs by one of my oldest, FB bud and pal.
Bad fucking karma has invaded the clay lion son compound. Here's the teaser:
June 8, FB locked my account for security reasons, not because I have been in zuckertraz enough times to earn a shirt, a badge and a lobotomy. I miss it, because even though you quit, I can't because my tribe
and my friends not yet met are there and we are on the right side of this fucking planet.
June 10, I travel to the University of New Brunswick to teach for three days. Remember, you can't get from Rochester to anywhere. I had three connecting flights. Arrived 40 hours before the class. My fucking luggage was lost and delivered to the hotel 8 hours before class. I was proudly wearing my
Eagles sweatshirt that proclaimed "Nobody likes us. We don't care." Nice professional appearance.
The class was fine and I can list 7 different clusterfucks dealing with transportation. I arrive home well after midnight on June 14(?) and my brother who you wrote to came up from Philly to visit and watch the AAA Rochester Red Wings ( Twins), take on the ducking bass team from the Yankees!!!!!!!!
We're die hard Philly fans. My brother is insane.
Sunday, June 16 (?), Father's day Rich and I were joining son Adam and my brother who hadn't seen Adam in years for breakfast. We went to our car and shockingly our 2016 white Kia Soul had been fucking stolen. Raise your hands if you haven't had a Kia stolen. We even bought The Club months ago. The cop told us it didn't matter, they are easy to remove. Well just fuck me.
We have full car insurance, rented a car and the police found the car 36 hours later. We have AllState. We will no longer have AllState when this infinite clusterfuck is over. Never had a problem, never had a car stolen. Allshit had us jumping through hoops on what WE had to do, who to call, yada........
Customer service, I teach that. Allshit needs me to get their fucking act together.
In other news the fires in Quebec are affecting western NY and all of the state has put us on alert and Rochester is distributing free masks. Covid part deux.
Anyway I don't know who is still reading, but join me whenever I get the fuck back on FB. On Twitter too, cause I love trolling RWNJ.
You're pal,
Jude
PS it was announced last week that my undergraduate college/university is closing after 67 years. I graduated in 78 from Cabrini in suburban Philly. Villa I've ( where I got my MA is buying them)
I feel like I got punched in the gut. I loved my undergrad years. A catoljck liberal arts college that wasn't very catholik, but very liberal. I'm heartbroken. Like Neil sang, "All my changes were there"
Hope you are enjoying the summer. Delete this or whatever, I had to write myself off the ledge before I jumped.
Keep fighting the good fight, Tom!
Of course all typos are mine. You think I'm proofing this? Fuck, I'm living it.🙀😻
Do none of the MAGAts in Congress (aka the Fweedumb Cawcuss - thank you, TC!) or the dumb f*cks watching Sh*t-for-brains Sean on Faux Snooze realize, that as he goes down, tRump is going to throw all of them to the dogs? He, literally, doesn't give a sh*t about any of them, except for their $, and will walk all over their sorry asses to get what he wants.
If we were not in fact eye witnesses to this history in the making, we'd be hard pressed to believe it.
Fiction could never top reality on this one.

It’s not newsworthy until that moronic narcissist is in a cage and dealing with his own extreme stupidity.
Absolutely right.
I would love to contribute buckets of warm cat barf from my many willing cats to completely submerse Stefanik in. At least Marge 3 toes and Boobert have the excuse of being dumber than a rock. Stefanik is nothing more than an opportunistic ass kisser.
Good idea. Let's take up a collection and have it delivered a.s.a.p.
I laughed out loud.
I feel terribly left out of this whole cat barf thing. but, as objectionable as the substance is, I can amass a whole lot of dog shit in very little time.
just saying.
That would work. :-)
I was going to offer the same item! I have two sibling kitties going on 14 who have developed sensitive tummy issues and trust me I could fill a few buckets in no time flat. I would be more than happy to help dump cat barf on Stefanik.
I see no excuse for any of them.
Wow TC, I await your all your posts as patiently as possible because I love your pillorying of the stupid evil effing creeps and your sharing of the fabulousness of cats but this post here! Absolutely stunning! Thank you!
Who can pillory better?
And now he says those were building plans not top secret classified documents... but when a lying liar speaks you should never expect to hear truth.
you left out that he added they were building plans for a golf course. it makes a certain kind of sense to have added that a week after he used the excuse that he had to take more time with the documents because he had to weed out his golf shirts and other items of clothing.

Seriously, living/breathing this s#$t every day must be truly exhausting for MAGA-ites…While I imagine Joe sleeps well at night.
It’s damn exhausting for me, has been for 30+ years
Jeri, you…and your memory never cease to amaze me.
A curse or a blessing, I’m not sure…. having watched my husband lose his over 15 years with Alz, I’ll keep it, painful as it often is

As I have said, Joe "Bidden" should study Mr. Lincoln on the writ of habeas corpus.

In our lifetime Hitler, Vietnam, and Trump are real.. I think I’m getting it, thank you, TC.

Welcome back, Judes. Your adventures are always interesting.
Boring is nice too!
I laughed out loud, this coming from you. :-)

You are thinking they have brains capable of critical thinking. That is "a fact not in evidence."
Silly me!
