reading the Bullwerk Morning roundup this morning with a Will Saletan essay on the Hur report. Something jumped out at me in the report that was glossed over by the media Read the second of the statement concerning Trump's handling of the documents “Unlike the evidence involving Mr. Biden, the allegations set forth in the indictment of Mr. Trump, if proven, would clearly establish not only Mr. Trump’s willfulness but also serious aggravating facts. Most notably, after being given multiple chances to return classified documents and avoid prosecution, Mr. Trump allegedly did the opposite. According to the indictment, he not only refused to return the documents for months, but he also obstructed justice by enlisting others to destroy evidence and then to lie about it.” This needs to be pushed more. TRUMP OBSTRUCTED JUSTICE....

The crows around here don't even go near the bird feeders. Starlings on the other hand...

There was a pretty big snow storm on Long Island and surrounding areas. That may have had an impact. I'm also seeing reports that a lot of Democrats voted early by mail, while Republicans tended to wait until Election Day to vote.

But she's retiring to run for governor...

I think most are choosing to retire rather than get primaried. They've surrendered. The only solution is complete annihilation of the Trump/Putin wing of the party. And that ain't gonna happen anytime soon.

Just change the name of the party to Trump Inc

It's been 100 years since George Gershwin wrote Rhapsody in Blue. I love the funky clarinet opening. Bella Fleck's new arrangement....

A column in the Bulwark today about why Republicans are so focused on Biden's age (not that he's a whole lot older than Stinky). Biden's age is the only "issue" they can campaign on Then it added this

I I started watching last season's Larry David and she came on. I guess RFKJr has no objection to plastic surgery or injecting Botox

That's ok I don't get Usher or Post Malone.

Considering it's been 50 years since the last troops left Viet Nam.... It's been 20 years since Iraq...

I keep going back to that press conference. Watch Trump's body language. That was the look of someone who was taken to the woodshed.

For the youngsters...

RFKJr SB ad invoking his uncle. Kid, you're no Jack Kennedy.

My mother was constantly running down the list (Stu, George, Chuck) in some conversations with me. The first two were her brothers. She was maybe in her 40s. If I spent anytime visiting family, I'd end up calling my son my youngest brothers name. However that would only once in a conversation. Not numerous times in a speech.

three of them are still repaying him for their appointment. At least two others are tied to other financial committments they're still paying off

Clowns are more intelligent. This is closer to the attitude of entitled three year olds. (Way worse than the terrible twos)

This one as well

Team Biden needs to play this on a continuous loop

I will admit that if I took the wayback machine back to 2016 and Trump was the Democratic nominee and his opponent was Ted Cruz. I would more than likely be tempted to sit it out. But would probably reluctantly vote for Cruz.
