He attacked Romney for saying this in 2012

At one time I was going to do a thesis on the history of the riot. The idea would be that I'd get oral histories from all the people who want to share the stories. The degree to which it was mythologized over the years was part of what stopped me. I preferred to focus on things less subject to the distorted lens of fantasy.

Fascinating podcast on Exurbia from Rick Wilson today. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/democracy-at-stake-in-american-exurbia/id1650861232?i=1000654146579 Basically, those people be cray. And reasons for that are self-perpetuating social isolation. I think the suburbs that qualify in the Detroit Metro would be anything further out than Milford, I don't have a good feel for the situation in the northern suburbs past Pontiac. Ann Arbor creates a weird situation to the southwest...maybe Pinckney and Whitmore Lake. To the South well that's weird because of Downriver but clearly Dundee with the large Cabellas store is a mecca of sorts.

This is just the most twisted bs Its a movie guy at the White House BFD. And...she's saying Marxists are burning down the country? Where, specifically?

They haven't talked in 2 years?

6 min ago Trump doesn't react as Hicks walks past him to exit courtroom for break Trump did not react as Hope Hicks walked past him as she exited the courtroom for the lunch break. Defense attorney Todd Blanche was whispering in his ear. Trump and lawyers are now leaving the courtroom.

Must be Jack Smith

Usually its an image of the device that the analysts are looking at.

awww I wondered where to put this...I guess "cleanup" is appropriate

This is what you would look like if you had done as much coke as the 1970s era SNL writer's room.

Got a gag order hearing coming this morning...again. I wonder how the rest of this trial goes if Merchan says, no matter the outcome you are doing a stretch come the end of this trial.

BTW, juxtapose this with the school protests in the US.

Looks like Georgia is next up in the crosshairs

part 2 of the above Bannon calling out the liars on behalf of the Father of Lies (John 8:44)

They sound like a fun bunch of self-righteous, low-IQ, pipe-bombing, anti-Semitic, racist, deeply-closeted, puppy murderers.

If Biden doesn't win...what the actual hell?

She'll go along with it so she can keep the gravy train running. You see "Zone of Interest?" that bint who Hoss was married to was so enamored of her life in the nice house she put up with the murder of hundreds of thousands outside her doorstep.

At the end of the day he is going to use the battered spouse defense. Melania hits him and so he has to seek relief in the arms of compliant women he encounters in his daily life, at department stores, at his celebrity pro-am golf events, in the intern pool at the White House.

What I understood was that incarcerating him now stops the trial until they get through some appeal. Marchan wants this decided soonest. If Judge Marchan is going to levy a harsher penalty they will have to wait until Trump actually has a juror murdered.

He's likely facing the potential for incarceration post-trial. It would otherwise be too hard to get through appeal. That's just what the wags are saying.

this does start because she saw a dog.

"Poor Barron" is trending

Cruelty is the point. Otherwise, Eric and Don Jr won't know how to deny the charity funds to those kids with cancer.
