Trump dishonors the military and military soldiers every chance he gets in every way possible...and even dares to do it at the highest level/rank. He should be held accountable for this kind of impersonation because of his utter lack of military experience...

Just how much of this bullshit crazy time are people going take? Cadet Bone Spurs and his enablers in uniform is offensive beyond words.

Good riddance. If he had any honor he would leave now, but Mike Johnson needs his vote so Republican sexual harassers need to stay around. Probably want to keep young female staffers away from him though.

Trump: "I think we should be given an A+ on the economy"

This pie is a tribute to the memory of my mum. It was her massive meat pie.

Pork chop that has been marinated in sweet chili and soy with ginger , garlic and brown sugar, then grilled. Bok Choy and jasmine rice, store bought pork dumplings

The stupid shit isn’t even human.

As predicted, two fucking spineless cucks. What else is new? There isn’t a politician in Amerikkka who will stand up to the fucking Felon. Cowards, each & every one. Lick his balls while you’re down there, assholes.

MacFarlane: We are near the new gold-plated statues the Trump administration unveiled near Memorial Circle, Memorial Bridge, and the Lincoln Memorial. It’s really, really gold.…

But Trump doesn't think Miller should resign or drop out of the race.

Donald Trump Cheats at Golf: The Movie

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.

Tillis: "Everybody has this view that they are as pure as the driven snow and it's the other side that has a problem. I think we both have a problem, folks. If you want to talk about weaponization, take a look at Biden, take a look at Obama, take a look at Crossfire Hurricane ... "

It’s a pizza night….

We wanted a light dish tonight; wild caught salmon topped w/mayo/honey/mustard/dill, sprinkled w/panko, baked until browned. Lemon pappardelle pasta w/fresh spinach tossed into the hot pasta. Parmesan, lemon juice & spicy seasoning added to give us a wonderful dinner. Wine & salad involved 😋

this is from just before virus hit the US. Entirely in line with pretty widespread guidance from pub health types at the time, based in part on poor data, in part on condescension abt effective use. NYC officials were saying very similar things. Guidance that was rapidly reversed.

I mean, at a minimum I would expect an ethics investigation by the relevant state bar(s).

The CATO argument here about Pulte's actions being ultra vires and thus void seem correct as a simple matter of constitutional jurisprudence. www.cato.org/blog/william...

William Pulte Served Illegally as Acting Director of National Intelligence for Nearly a Week

William Pulte purported to act as the director of national intelligence for nearly a week after Jay Clayton was confirmed as his successor. That violates the plain text of the Vacancies Act.

NY police tricked a woman into drinking from a cup, then pulled her DNA and added it to a secret database. They have done this to thousands of people who were never charged with a crime. Cato filed a brief in this case, arguing that the Fourth Amendment requires a warrant. https://ow.ly/1mHL50ZvUlN

Leslie v. City of New York Brief: NYC's "Suspect Index" of Secretly Harvested DNA Is Unconstitutional

The NYPD routinely collects DNA samples in an orchestrated surreptitious manner through ruses involving straws, bottles, or even cigarettes, without the knowledge or consent of the searched individual and without a court order.
