If you intend this to be an inducement for me to be more parsimonious with the ignore feature I have some bad news.
Although I do like rope bridges.

I just had a disturbing thought: magic spaghetti - rats in the freezer.
This does leave me curious about the Democrats’ backup plan if Joltin’ Joe were not to wake up tomorrow, which is a non-zero likelihood.
Do NOT care for rats in the freezer.
It had not escaped my notice that President Biden is simultaneously suffering from dementia and the capo of a sophisticated international crime syndicate.
After the last six or eight years you might have thought that Biden’s wanton criminality would be something of a beacon for our friends on the right but I’m beginning to grasp that intellectual consistency is not a hallmark of the modern Republican.

There’s a guy in California who’ll answer the call.
There’s a non-zero chance for all of us. If I were to bet, I think a physically fit 80 year old with a great diet and exercise program and an on-call physician has a better likelihood of seeing the dawn than an overweight 78 year old with a diet of hamberders and aversion to exercise.
The “who’s next” question applies to both parties. For the Democrats, it would be Harris or maybe Newsome. Sherrod Brown would be a superb candidate, but he’s got a very tough Senate fight in Ohio. John Tester is in the same situation in Montana, and I don’t think he has national aspirations, but he would be great candidate and President. If Trump were not to wake tomorrow, the Republican Party would descend into absolute chaos with Jeb! reemerging, but not until 2028.
Healthy ex-presidents do tend to live a long damn time, these days.
This reminds me: I’m sitting in my chair teleworking one day a couple of months ago and one of my daughters meanders down the stairs at the crack of noon and nonchalantly says, “did you take care of the mouse?”. To which I obviously replied, “what mouse?”. She got real animated and said that the night before, she was getting something out of the freezer in the garage and a mouse had scampered by and into the freezer. She closed the door and “sent me a text since it was late”. I get up to go remove the frozen-solid mouse and when I open the door, this little grey streak whizzes past my left ear, hits my collar and falls down the back of my shirt. On the inside. I did the appropriate spastic freak-out but only for like 2 seconds when I figured out what he was doing. He was in there with his back to my t-shirt and all 4 little feet pressed against my bare back. After untucking my shirt, I reached in and gently pulled him out and he just sat there in my hand looking at me with this “thank god you let me out of the cold, dark box” look on his face. So, while not advisable, it appears a mouse in the freezer is a little better than a rat in the freezer.

Those damn mice have a knack for survival.

I don’t know what they teach you people out in California. Biden appears very healthy? He is very frail. He forgets what he is saying all the time. He falls all the time. He doesn’t remember names. Example: He called Zellinsky Vladimir the other day. He can’t read a teleprompter very well. He has to be showed where to walk. Is that healthy out in California? You really are not a very bright individual.
Maybe Joe was taking the cocaine to get more energy?
The guy’s name is Volodymyr Zelensky. So he called him by his name? And I bet he spelled it correctly too.
He called him Vladimir, not Volodymyr. He sure as heck didn’t pronounce it correctly. I can get you some more examples that show that Biden has dementia if you would like. This was just one of many instances. Since he couldn’t read it correctly off of the teleprompter, how could he spell it correctly? Since we appear to be having a grammar exam, I bet he didn’t spell it right. I bet he spelled it like you. It’s Zelenskyy.
Not unsurprisingly, Jack Smith torches Team Trump’s effort to get the stolen documents trial postponed indefinitely.
As a bonus, he got to nuke from orbit Trump’s defense that the Presidential Records Act applies.
As for the impact of the Presidential Records Act on this prosecution, any argument that it mandates dismissal of the Indictment or forms a defense to the charges here borders on frivolous. The PRA is not a criminal statute, and in no way purports to address the retention of national security information. The Defendants are, of course, free to make whatever arguments they like for dismissal of the Indictment, and the Government will respond promptly. But they should not be permitted to gesture at a baseless legal argument, call it “novel,” and then claim that the Court will require an indefinite continuance in order to resolve it.
Section V is particularly entertaining - but too long to paste in here - where Smith shoots down all the random shit that Team Trump was throwing at the wall. Here’s one notable zinger:
The Defendants cite no case for their proposition, which is unsurprising because again, they have it backward.

Fun Fact: Jack Smith’s team interviewed Jared Kushner in June. He really is getting close to the end.
So was Mueller. That amounted to nothing.
Rats were for boas
Can’t remember if he had to defrost them. But assume so. Also had mice. Watched him feed boas and lizards occasionally.
I have no fucking idea what is going on around here, and this is what i think about it
