I’m old enough to have watched the Nixon Watergate hearings live. Trust this: When it hits the good parts periodically, they are really really good - like a bright sunlight suddenly emerging from a storm cloud.
I remember watching the Watergate hearings as well. At least those hearings had a modicum of courtroom decorum. I can’t wait for what the courtroom drama(circus?) is displayed in the upcoming trial(s)…….to be continued..
I was a teen and baby sitting in the country, and it was the only thing on and bored out of my scull because I was about as interested as a 14 year stuck in the boonies could be.
While it is great that the overt violent insurrectionists rot in prison hell, I am waiting for the GOP Senators and House Reps to be indicted, expelled, convicted, and barred from ever holding public office. And Navarro? He has insidious plans along with the fringe extremists at Heritage to facilitate GOP minority control of Federal government for generations.
The fringe movement (Project 2025) seeks to subvert the federal government and is just as dangerous as the overt violent insurrectionists now (thankfully) being convicted and imprisoned.
Whether you are focused on women's rights, race, climate, gun violence prevention, voting rights, immigration reform, wealth inequality, labor rights, anti-corruption initiatives, or more -we will lose EVERYTHING if we allow ourselves to be divided.
My concern is the center and the left. If were to remain at least loosely coalesced we might keep the possibility of democracy (someday) on the rails.
SCOTUS would look very different if we were on Hillary's second term right now. Clarence wouldn't even have to show up for work and could just party with Harlan and Ginni, the insurrectionist spouse. And Alito could spend his time drooling over legal precedent from the 1800's.
If Thomas were no longer in an influential position (majority) in Scrotus, the yacht rides and junkets would disappear faster than a life raft made of Alka-Seltzer tablets.
That’s so much fucking around and finding out! I am looking forward to a tsunami of much more so that my days will be filled with satisfaction and some reassurance.
Their inability to get more than a few protesters to show up at the many arrests speaks volumes to me. MAGAs are all to addicted to their electronic screens to give it up. Hoping for someone else to revolution for them. Plus, those of the criminal persuasion among them are totally paranoid. For good reason. Boo fucking Hoo to them all.
I really think this is the best thing for the American people to view. Of course from what I hear the GOP sidecar of clowns said they didn’t watch the J6 hearings and if they did it didn’t make them stop being stupid. I can’t believe there’s any intelligence left amongst them.
It's good to see some justice, even though all of those seditious bastards should have gotten the maximum. Rudy has a cardboard sign at the freeway exit in his future. (What the Hell. It will keep him in vodka) Governor Brain Cramp did his imitation of a broken clock. The Georgia trials will be must see TV.
Right now, I suspect Governor Kemp is trying to keep all his options open. He wants to be a 'Donnie-Alternative', if not in 2024, than certainly in 2028. If Donnie Fuckface is a little closer to circling the drain in Georgia, and now that all the shenanigans will be SEEN, BK may just sit back and watch!
I know we’ve all been antsy waiting for justice to prevail, but I think in the long run it’s been worth the wait. These types of cases need to be airtight.
PS I’m not giving Kemp any more props. He signed that fucking law into existence.
Fulton County isn’t playing.. wherever you are in the world, if you have internet, you can watch the trial. The Fox Noise spin effort just got a lot more difficult.
Even Fox doesn't have the ability to spin this epic shit show and the upcoming perjury fest can't come any quicker. It will be interesting to see what phony theatrics the tangerine turd may attempt to use in an attempt to soften that well deserved blow that's coming.
I think it’s crucial to have the federal trials televised as well, especially the January 6 one. It is the most crucial trial in American history and we should be able to see it otherwise will be subject to the Spin Doctors from fox, etc..
Agreed. issues as large as the potential destruction of our democracy should be made available to the public to witness, on television, live - the entire proceedings. Both audio and video coverage make all the difference in the public’s understanding of the credibility of witnesses, and their understanding of the facts and the law.
Faux will do what they do regardless of facts. In the worst cases they have not broadcast events that are inescapably negative for their hosts (as in parasitic hosts).
The second worst instances are cherry-picked to provide the illusion of "reporting" but with the critical evidence missing, to be followed by hypothetical "questions" intended to misdirect their Rubes into drawing conclusions based on conjecture.
All of this is so good! High time for truth and consequences to prevail. I’m happy at least some of them like Baked Alaska and the Blubbering Not-So-Proud-Anymore Boys are seeing how wrong the MAGAt movement is - at least I hope they’re seeing that. Now if only my ex-friends would see it too and say “Lisa, you were right” Of course - I’m always right -wink **
My BFF of 36 years dumped me over Traitor Tot and the Stop the Steal BS. If she came crawling back to me, I would just say, "No fking way. I prefer my friends who aren't Fascist rubes."
I know! And I prefer friends that aren’t racist idiots! I mean lovable harmless good-natured idiots are ok but my exfriends didn’t show their true colors until Fruher Trumpf came along and told them it’s ok to be that way. I wouldn’t take them back either, I just want them to know how wrong they are.
YouTube is gonna be burning up screens all over the world with that trial. It'll be me going, "Shhhh. I'm watching my show!"

Exactly! I’ll be planning my work around it!
Won't it be wonderful? I'm digging out my DVD of 'All the President's Men'! Every time I need a dash of hope, I rewatch that!
Binge Watch Worthy!
Oh hecka yeah, sis--cheers!
🤣🤣🤣

Yes, Project 2025. Thom Hartmann wrote a terrific piece this morning laying out the history and warning us of what may come.
Now I am, in the words made famous by someone at the Woodstock Festival, “I am scared shitless” after reading this article….
Thank you for this post

If we allow ourselves to be divided?
I'm not clear on who isn't already divided. Seems pretty damn divided right now.
My concern is the center and the left. If were to remain at least loosely coalesced we might keep the possibility of democracy (someday) on the rails.
SCOTUS would look very different if we were on Hillary's second term right now. Clarence wouldn't even have to show up for work and could just party with Harlan and Ginni, the insurrectionist spouse. And Alito could spend his time drooling over legal precedent from the 1800's.

Boo fucking Hoo to them all.
I know most of us are jaded with ever seeing justice brought to trump and his traitors, but I do
genuinely feel the tide is turning.
Their inability to get more than a few protesters to show up at the many arrests speaks volumes to me. MAGAs are all to addicted to their electronic screens to give it up. Hoping for someone else to revolution for them. Plus, those of the criminal persuasion among them are totally paranoid. For good reason. Boo fucking Hoo to them all.
I feel the same way--does my heart good to see these bozos receive the penalties they deserved.
Now we just need Aileen Cannon to come down with a case of disbarment and all will be well.
Acute onset, please. With long-term unemployabilitis!
I'm down to see her frown!
Oh yeah, I would most certainly be breaking out the bubbly for that one.
I think you may have already covered ‘this week in stupid’ .. I’ll still be waiting for it. We’ll done .. I scared my cat when I laughed!

I hate to be your proofreader, but Jay’s last name is spelled Kuo.
But no typo destroys my joy in reading you!
ugh, no, it's important to get people's names right. thanks, I've corrected it

He won't go that far.

You nailed both points. Kemp
helped pave the way for whatever republicans decide to do about Ms Willis or any DA they disagree with.
“Let’s Go Brandon... off to prison!” I almost choked on my chips! Haha! Your work today gives me some hope Jeff! Excellent!👏👏👏👏👏
That was a beauty, wasn't it!!
Great weekly recap and it’s not even Saturday.

Congratulations graduates of FA and FO!! Boo f-ing Boo!
And so ends another week of FAFO.

Don't hold your breath, Lisa. They are largely a lost cause.
