FYI, the last three days of the year will be a three-part "this year in stupid," a best-of taken from all the 'this week in stupid' posts. Dec 25-28, I might actually take the break I keep promising myself. don't count on it, tho — I'm a glutton for punishment

Jef--please please please take a break--with Ms. Spouse and your daughter. Go someplace warm (if that’s your thing) or go skiing or just all hang out in matching Christmas pajamas and watch Hallmark Christmas movies!

You THINK you'll be doing a three-part "This Year in Stupid", but I strongly suspect either Trump himself, his clown car of lawyers, His Rudeness Giuliani (who through a heroic effort managed to break away from the pack of incompetent lawyers to win the crown of "Worst of the Worst"!), the MAGAt Contingent in Congress, or the Zieglers will either pull some blatantly-illegal and/or -hypocritical acts themselves, or evidence will pop up showing their previous blatantly-illegal and/or -hypocritical acts.

At this point, I don't think they can stop themselves.

Michael M's avatar

Hopefully SCROTUS rules on the CO SC ballot decision as they did when they wiped out Roe v. Wade and that each state should decided for themselves whether to have Trump on the ballot. But that would require them to honor precedent, and even if it is their own brand-new precedent, don't count on it.

Stephen— the SCOTUS will NOT hear the request from Jack Smith to fast track arguments on whether Der Fuhrer trump has any immunity from federal prosecution for alleged crimes he committed while he was president….ugh….this decision will probably delay that particular trial.

Jeff, you’re so right: Trump is truly the Gift That Keeps On Giving. He’s going to “Give” himself right into Federal Prison, hopefully soon. I am SO tired of his ceaseless yammering and lies - it’s just too bad all those Big Macs don’t catch up with him in a gigantic cardiovascular event, so we could be rid of his tiresome self. I am not normally the type to wish ill on others, but he absolutely, richly deserves all the ill coming at him, legal, cardiovascular, or otherwise. Merry Christmas to All!

I got banned from (of all places) Twitter before it was non-Twitter for saying I wished you-know-who would just die with similar remarks. I didn’t suggest murder. I simply got banned for using the word “die”. Couldn’t believe it with all the other horrific tweets.

I get banned for a week at a time for laying out facts to counter election fraud lies. I do not issue threats, I never call names or belittle or demean anyone, I never even use 4 letter words. But I get banned for pointing out settled law cases and bringing forth actual evidence.

If I try to post something, I get a pop-up saying I can't post for a week, and that if I think that's incorrect, I can hit the button that says "Tell us." I do that and nothing happens and that button takes you nowhere. So much for freedom of speech.

Great post, as always! Good to see Ronna finally sinking with the rest of the trump ship. Great to see the mob boss finally getting his own hands dirty on tape. Excellent that he was unable to bully local officials into doing his bidding. Every time we see people willing to stand up to him, we should encourage them to run for office and replace those cowards on Capitol Hill. John Schneider is just another Kid Rock/Ted Nugent jackwagon.

It is absolutely astonishing to me that a) anyone would make a video of themselves having sex, b) knowing there are tapes of them having not only sex, but sex that they are publicly pushing to ban for others, would intentionally become a beacon for such a ban and c) bring attention to themselves in such a way that shows the complete hypocrisy of obviously enjoying said sex and then co-founding an organization whose mission is to convince others it is repellent and sinful.

Canada, Feb 21, 1967: Then Justice Minister Pierre Trudeau speaks with reporters about his Omnibus Bill. "There's no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation" Since then, we have been at peace paving the way here for sexual inclusivity and rights both Federally and Provincially.

For those of you in the northern US, you may want to consider an annexation deal with us if Donnie Fuckface should win the presidency and let's all the Zeigler-like Christo-Fascists take over, because... they will!

Thanks for that Steve! I live in the Northeast US and I keep wondering when Justin Trudeau is going to close the border. I need to be prepared because if that Fascist wins then he will do away with our Democratic Republic and place us in an Authoritarian State. I’m afraid he’ll close the borders before the fascist takeover and not the January 20th date which is the official turnover of power.

My daughter wants to go to Scotland. Idk because it only takes me 10 hours to get there and through customs to Canada.

Damn I’m rambling again. Thank you.

Your daughter needs to be aware that the government in Great Britain has already been successfully hijacked by MAGA autocrats and their fellow travellers and they are presently trying to strip the devolved Scottish government of its political powers as the Scottish Independence movement is growing exponentially in response to London Westminster’s far right coup. She will have her human rights far better protected in an EU country like Ireland. From which she could help the fight to free Northern Ireland and Scotland from a toxic criminal Britain.

Your fear is not as far-fetched anymore. None of any of us in our lifetimes would ever have imagined a rougue president teetering on authoritarianism. My biggest fear is his protectionism, possibly choking us off from cross-border trade in order to appease rabid MAGAts, who seem to influence his decision-making process more than people who've dedicated their entire careers to cross-border trade..

The justices or some judge should absolutely stomp on the immunity claim, partly because Nixon needed a PARDON from Ford, and mostly because Trump and his flying monkeys were not acting in official government capacities, but as part of an unsuccessful (LOSING, LOSING, LOSING. Don’t flip him off. Just do the “L” on the forehead. That’ll make him more insane) campaign. Meadows got a smack down for it in GA. Every judge on every level should find that he was not acting as a government official. IF he was battling Congress over something, then he would have a colorable claim to official capacity (although not one you can make with a straight face), but not as a LUH HOO HOO SER candidate.
