I am happy about the subpoenas of the fraudulent electors. Maybe we are getting closer to uncovering the real conspiracy we all know started in the Trump White House. It's just bugging me that Watergate happened and within less than a year there were trials and people were convicted and went to jail. This is so much worse than Watergate and yet the real masterminds are still amongst us, plotting to make it work next time.
We should boycott the restaurants that allowed Palin to dine in their facilities knowing well that she tested positive. They are helping to spread the virus also. I'm confident that she didn't pay for her meals because it gave free publicity to their restaurants. So boycott them.
Sarah Palin, one of the dumbest women on the planet, should be banned from any blue state. She's an insult to females. Her ilk, Marjorie Greene and Lauren Bobert, should also be banned. They are an insult to any cognizant human being.
donnab, Amen!! I recall right wingers excited over Palin’s pretty looks breaking onto the scene with McCain and I immediately reputed Palin for her very obvious and clear lack of ability to string 3 coherent sentences together, I said “She’s an idiot who quit her esteemed Governorship halfway through to grab more money on the (right wing) book market”. And THEN they elected another fool who cannot string TWO sentences together to make sense, nor can he figure out how to even fold an umbrella to enter a plane!! With TP stuck to his shoe. And they claim lean, fit, biking Joe is “befuddled”.
You're so right, Rick. They pick the dumbest RepubliKKKan they can find and win because of the electoral college. If it were popular vote, they'd never win. Our allies must view us as gun-crazed nitwits. Thank heaven we have a literate President, at least until 2024. My favorite sight was Palin parading her knocked up daughter on stage. If one of Obama's daughters had been pregnant, the uproar would have been deafening.
From my lips to Merrick Garland's to-do list, subpoena the documents of and interview ALL of the fake electors, build your cases, then prosecute the hell out of these people. They are threats to democracy. If we do not want others to follow suit, we need to make examples of these fools that these actions will not be tolerated and that they will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I hope and pray this happens.
As for the weekend, golf and a visit to my dad are on the agenda. My husband and I had a Covid scare last week, but we are good to go. I cannot believe we are approaching the two year anniversary of the Covid lockdown.
Thank you, Michelangelo. And, thank the good Lord above for your health. Based in part on your story, I forced my husband to go get his prostate checked. It's been a few years since he's had his check-up, and your story a few weeks ago prompted me to get on his case. Thank goodness he listened to me this time. So, thank you for sharing your stories. You made a good impact. And you may have saved someone's life. Keep up the good fight, my friend.
Thank God you 🙏 and your husband are well. Garland has been too careful and the clock is running out. DOJ need to act now. We need to send a strong message now. Bullies will continue to bully unless you confront them. They all should be subpoenad. Clear violation of the law.
Cindy, just as hitting “Post” also thought “thank goodness” you’re not hit by Covid. Maybe in one more year it will morph into something less wretched. Pandemic historians say usually 3 or 4 years, then easier times.
Yeah, not sure what to expect in 2022. But, will stay on top of any boosters for my boosters and will keep N95 masks nearby. It's just the world we live in, sadly.
I agree with punishing these people for signing fake electors slates. They need jail time. At least 2 of the people from Arizona are running for office. (one for Secretary of State and the other for the Senate) They have 4 really bad candidates for the Senate. All of them are Trumpsters. They are obsessed with the boarder.
I do believe NYC has a slew of laws, updated in the 1980s and 1990s, to address the WILLFUL spreading of disease. Palin should be subject to these laws, since she IS willfully spreading a lethal airborne disease. I also wanna give a major shout out to Joni Mitchell and Neil Young for pointing out the obvious--Spotify *IS* the AM radio of the streaming services. BTW: Both individuals are polio survivors, and both have "long polio." They KNOW of what they speak (the nerve pain is ghastly, from what I saw with my late dad).
"Recklessness" is a charitable way to put it, don't you think?
After all, the same people who want to "Own the Libs" by staying unvaccinated and spreading the most lethal virus in the history of the United States are the same ones who called for criminal penalties against gay people in the '80s for spreading AIDS.
These people aren't reckless, they're sociopaths. And they need to be removed from the stream of interpersonal commerce . . . permanently.
I was happy to hear about the subpoenas, but I have to admit, it didn't give me much hope since no one seems to have to comply with them, so they're barely a symbolic gesture. Hopefully, I'm wrong.
Yes, ban Palin, unless it means she'll come to my town. No thanks. I suppose she hasn't gotten any headlines for a while, so she needed to pull a stunt to prove her relevance (or lack thereof). I would just yawn, but she puts others at risk, so there should be consequences.
Good for Joni Mitchell! And Neil Young. I only have a free Spotify account, and I rarely use it since I started subscribing to Sirius XM, but there are alternatives to Spotify.
These traitors need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. And it needs to go to
Top of the totem and hit that Cheeto, the greasy hair-color sweating vampire and the demon spawn that incited a riot, forged documents and attempted to overthrow the election.
And now he gave a speech last night saying that they're "trying to put me in jail," and that he may run in 2024 and will pardon all the Jan 6th. insurrectionists. That's why this has to move at lightening speed.
Last week I wrote about Trump will probably get his lawyers to make a deal at some point with the Justice Dpt. and he is using the leverage of violence to try to get off, and no such deal should be considered.
We see the progress of the Jan 6 committee. I just hope that it goes where it needs to and we get conviction. Enough to convince the independents of the hypocrisy and true motives of the current republican party
OMG T***p is now saying that he will treat Jan 6 rioters 'fairly' if reelected: "If it requires pardons, we will give them pardons." Manchin and Sinema where are you. We need the John Lewis act passed asap. Carve out for the filibuster. Where are you republicans? Where are you DOJ? OMG everyday, when will this stop!!!!!
That ongoing illegal shit + 100 year global pandemic, what a living (and dying) repeating “Ground Hogs Day” movie we seem stuck in. Gaaaaa. Things gotta turn around. The walls closing in legally around fat smarmy cheato gives glimmer of hope. Sure is dang hard to have patience year after year of witnessing 1000+ obvious illegalities he has carried on and impeached twice but no real consequences yet !!! Things just gotta turn around!!! Special place reserved in hell for Manchenema.
The right is right now doing SO many things on SO many fronts to force us back, back to the 1940’s and 50’s including ban saying “gay” and removing many wonderful books from libraries/schools. It seems unleashed, the stench of desperation for one thing, knowing in 20 more years “Euro-Americans” will be a co-minority with the majority simply desiring equality and justice for all, not additional for white privilege. Mike, do you think this new “unleashed” furor is aided and abetted by the new solidly right wing Supreme Court? It’s like state legislators backed by the extremist religious Gilead wannabes are now emboldened knowing if cases go to the top court in the land, those cases stand a much better chance of being upheld. Not unlike the total ludicrousness of allowing TX law to stand on paying citizen vigilantes big coin to stalk and squeal on any other citizens’ legal activities regarding or helping a lady and her body rights. A great emboldenment has gone on seemingly recently, or of pure desperation. Anything to do with the new extreme Supreme Court? Wonderfully independent and free thinking Democrats MUST become more tribal whenever it is time to exercise right to vote on anything, including the local elections, including for school board members. NO malaise and loafing around and skipping such a precious right that SO many around the globe would cherish and be certain to exercise, or it will maybe totally be gone, seems sooner than later anymore as the naturally “tribal” followers claw, clutch and grab on to power despite a diminishing fewer in number.
I didn't mind reading your weekend thread this morning, Michelangelo. It was heartening after so much doom and gloom last weekend. I truly hope these fake electors get hauled over the coals. It's sunny and cold/cool here in Northern California. There has been no rain and will probably be no rain in the next few weeks. I will be making some lemon pound cake for my sweet grandson and granddaughter. He tested positive for asymptomatic Covid last Saturday, and my granddaughter is getting her adenoids removed on Monday. Life goes on as best it can. Who eats all of that bread you bake? Does it last all week in your house?
Lemon pound cake sounds great@ Sorry to hear you tested positive. This keeps happening and people can't figure out how.
I make four loaves a week, but sometimes 8. An in truth i do eat a little bit, mostly tasting to make sure it's right. But husband eats the lion's share of it. And we freeze it so that it's fresh when we want it -- or to give away to a friend.
In other news, my husband has Covid. I was away and when I called on my way home Wednesday he said he’d been feeling sick since Monday night (“I have a cold.”) Um…. I brought home a Covid test and sure enough he was positive, confirmed with a test the next day via drive-thru at CVS. He’s living on the lower level of our home, I’m on the main level. I have the better end of the deal because I have the kitchen and the dogs lol. Thank goodness we are double-vaxxed and had our boosters. He is feeling much better and really has only had some cold symptoms, no trouble breathing and no fever. No loss of smell or taste.
We really can’t figure out where he got it because one of our daughters and sons-in-law were here last weekend and they’re fine. I’m fine (tested negative with a home test on Thursday). Of course, I am a fanatic about wearing my mask anytime I go out of the house and I do not really go very many places. I am responsible for watching our six-month-old granddaughter and of course can’t do it this week which sucks for everybody. It dawned on my husband that having Covid really puts a monkey wrench in everybody’s plans. We are retired, I feel badly for those who don’t have space to isolate, who have to go to work, who have responsibility to watch older or younger people in their families. Stay well everyone!
Jordan, so sorry to hear that, but yes glad you are both vaxxed and boostered. And wow, it's amazing you can't figure out how he got it. That underscores just how contagious Omicron is.
Take care of yourself and the family, and wishing your husband the best. And thanks for the old Wordles!
Winter is back. Enjoy it while you can. I thought the most notable thing this week was that Joe Biden gave a speech and got extremely angry about the cost of insulin, explaining it costs $10 to make but costs $600. This is the Joe Biden we need and need to clone in a lot of different spokesmen, even in the justice department, instead of we will pursue justice, how about we are
mad as hell about these terrible breaches of law and we are after you like crocodiles on meat. But, it probably comes down to us. I forget the source, but I read or heard a report last week about how apartheid ended by the white minority giving in because it was better than losing business and their businesses. The Republicans must know they are vulnerable here and cancel culture is a defense, We have a right to vote(which they are going after, and a right to not purchase -a vote of no support to businesses which support(or stay silent) Republicans, and also businesses in these radical states. Here is where we must focus, and where they too will surrender.
Sorry another person committed “covidside” by refusing vaccination! I live in military town and was told by health care worker that local military Hosp is giving so called religious exemptions to those not getting vaccinated . Masks are required to enter however I observe so many soldiers working in clinics not keeping masks over noses! Scary!
Spotify loses money for every new paying customer they sign up — they plan on making it up in volume, I guess. Meanwhile, SiriusXM reinstated the Neil Young channel 🤣
I am happy about the subpoenas of the fraudulent electors. Maybe we are getting closer to uncovering the real conspiracy we all know started in the Trump White House. It's just bugging me that Watergate happened and within less than a year there were trials and people were convicted and went to jail. This is so much worse than Watergate and yet the real masterminds are still amongst us, plotting to make it work next time.
We should boycott the restaurants that allowed Palin to dine in their facilities knowing well that she tested positive. They are helping to spread the virus also. I'm confident that she didn't pay for her meals because it gave free publicity to their restaurants. So boycott them.
It's outrageous they're not getting fined. Apparently the city inspector must catch them in the act. But there has to be some ramification.
Catch them in the act?!?! That seems like a gigantic loophole designed to let businesses do whatever they want, doesn't it?
Sarah Palin, one of the dumbest women on the planet, should be banned from any blue state. She's an insult to females. Her ilk, Marjorie Greene and Lauren Bobert, should also be banned. They are an insult to any cognizant human being.

And THEN they elected another fool who cannot string TWO sentences together to make sense, nor can he figure out how to even fold an umbrella to enter a plane!! With TP stuck to his shoe.

You're so right, Rick. They pick the dumbest RepubliKKKan they can find and win because of the electoral college. If it were popular vote, they'd never win.

That is so scary, Toni. That's what freaks me out: the yahoos running for office, including school boards and elections positions.

That's why they love Trump. They are very much alike. Hypocrites and liars.

I hope Neil Young & Joni Mitchell can inspire a cascade of artists to leave Spotify. Money speaks way louder than though...so...(shrug)...

You're so right about becoming more tribal in that way -- instead we see too many on the left tearing each other apart, while we're in this emergency.

The restraint is admirable. I vaguely remember restraint. 😉
I'm always fascinated about where the bread goes! He doesn't eat it! HOWWWWWW!?
Mike and all, totally off topic! Here’s a website where you can play old Wordle games. It’s good practice: https://www.devangthakkar.com/wordle_archive/?36

I don't know her.....
In reference to the anti vaxxer that died of Covid, my response is, Oh well,Adiós ". One less to worry about. Let's move on.
Mine is “thoughts and prayers” (meaning 🖕)
I like that also. 😃😀
