I listened for a little bit to Lawrence O’Donnell last PM. Not only did he reinterate what HCR said above, he pointed out that it is publicly accessible knowledge that President Biden was not even at the White House for the visits of the neurologist, except for the dates corresponding to his annual exam. O’Donnell made the comment that this is basic journalism steps that the NYTs completely overlooked. The TImes isn’t just going overboard with their coverage of Biden, they are doing direct hit jobs on him. Someone needs to be fired and they can go get a job at the National Enquirer!
Wow, what an opportunity since he knows more perps than anyone. But anybody who can bankrupt a casino, can screw up anything. Look what he did to the Presidency.
A couple of notes from my diary in November 2016. These, I shall keep on repeating:
GREAT AGAIN?
Democracy? Democracy? Where's that? I see only oligarchy.
Chances are DT will bankrupt oligarchy, as he’s bankrupted all he touches, and try for the only thing he (thinks he) understands: dictatorship.
But will the Republic survive the attempt?

SYRIA—DRESS REHEARSAL?
It all began, not with an armed uprising, but with protest demonstrations. As in Russia in 1905, it was the regime’s violent response that set fire to the powder keg.
Now here’s the question: is this war the dress rehearsal for what will befall whoever dares resist oligarchy?
Unfortunately, Jeri, we shall not have to wait until the next generation. Whatever the outcome of this year's November elections, there will be mayhem.
Here’s a very rapid and sketchy summary of what is already under way:
The Conspiracy has been preparing the ground for this moment for well over a decade.
They, their teetotal Delirium Tremens, the MAGA movement and their operatives, in Congress, in state houses up and down the country, in the judiciary, all the way down from the Supreme Court, all left off hiding their plans and came out into the open on January 6th 2021—the putsch that failed—since which date we have had something surely new to the world, a permaputsch, day in, day out, smoldering under our feet like a peat fire.
Now the chessmen (and woman) on the Supreme Court have prepared the ground for the form of presidency in place for the past 234 years to be replaced by a form of monarchy not seen since the 17th century, show every sign of planning the establishment of a State religion, contrary to the 1st Amendment, are ensuring that ordinary citizens may use bump stocks to make their semi-automatic firearms fully automatic, while a lesser colleague is doing her damnedest to ensure that a proven security risk of the vastest proportions stays Scot free to sell the country to his mentor in the Kremlin or the highest bidder.
And all that’s only for starters, nor do we know much about who’s been planted in the higher echelons of the Services and all the organizations responsible for citizens’ wellbeing and safety. We know only that there are to be no more citizens, only “subjects” and inequality-before-the-Lawyers, and that the population is to be divided into four castes:
- Ultra-oligarchs
- Those males who do their bidding
- Females (Handmaids)
- (On sufferance) those needed to do dirty work that no one else is willing to take on.
- All others to be rounded up, placed in concentration camps and expelled from the US… or otherwise disposed of.
This and innumerable other goodies for the higher echelons of the pecking order and punishments for those whose skin is the wrong color, whose sexual preferences are forbidden or whose features are deemed substandard.
To everyone: cancel your subscription to most of the MSM, and tell them why, which is because you don't want to be lied to anymore, and because you can get the truth by watching Lawrence O'Donnell.
A bit off topic, Jeri, but your comment reminded me of a long ago SF Chronicle (the pink Datebook section) headline—during Nixon Watergate kerfuffle that read: “Cox Picked As Prober”—some editor had a wicked sense of humor! A laugh out loud 🤣 headline that I cut out and saved, now buried somewhere in my house…really should find it & get it framed & hang it on the wall.

The other CFDT fiasco that has received very little press are the 143 convicts that he pardoned through executive clemency.

These include 4 people that stole a combine $1.4 billion from Medicare/Medicaid not to mention MAGAs like Dinesh D'Souza and Roger Stone.
And we know that CFDT will pardon ALL of the 9/11 insurrectionists.
Here is a story from Newsweek that says CFDT will now be able to sell pardons when he is President thanks to the SCOTUS immunity ruling last week.

It’s those carnival barker genes

Sadly, I agree

Maybe David Pecker is available

Haha: Lordy, laugh out loud moment. Yep, frame-able. Wordsmith heaven.
