this might be part of the problem with jurors Trump campaign spokesperson and ally are in court today Trump ally Jason Miller and Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung are seated inside the courtroom, according to reports from journalists in court.

He might actually have been thinking of Armistead. He was in the movie and Trump might have focused on that. Brigade commanders are not usually what one thinks of in this regard. The Union lost a much more significant commander in John Reynolds on the first day.

My understanding from working the freight rail and passenger rail security coordination gig back in the aughts was that Europe has most of its freight travel by truck and ship (easier with all that coastline) and the US relies on rail for freight. The rates that industry gets from freight are much more reliable therefore passenger rail is second class citizen except in the NE corridor. I love travelling to NY on rail from DC but having tried it from DC to Western North Carolina where the train had all sorts of stops and maintenance issues, i would be hard-pressed to recommend it. Big fan of European rail networks though. Riding the train from Scotland to London or from Brest to Bayeux is very evocative of the history and culture of those places. Train trips from the Saar area to Frankfurt or Munich were also very cool trips in my younger days. I don't mind seeing ugly factories so long as I get a castle or two as well.

'Hitler Pig' - POLITICO

this story was wall to wall coverage on Fox

What makes me crazy is that Johnson had to finally get an intel briefing on the threats to Europe before he would support Ukraine aid. I wonder if that briefing included some veiled message about "we have seen how Putin likes to compromise members of both parties with salacious text messages he received from their personal accounts including accounts that the blackmailee might not have thought that any competent nation state intelligence service could easily find, like the ones you use to talk to your young male boyfriends about celibacy and the temptations of the flesh..."

Oh, and 50k dead is not beautiful. Maybe you might say the Gettysburg Address was a beautiful piece of oratory to commemorate the situation. And, Abraham Lincoln who freed the slaves was killed by a traitor for doing that.

Some of the things wrong: If you go to PA to talk to a PA audience that is 2.5 hours away from Gettysburg... that would be like going to I dunno, Detroit to talk to people about Muskegon. If you talk to a PA audience about Gettysburg maybe celebrate the fact that the Union was saved there. Maybe not celebrate the confederate general who if he had only been better at his job might have been smarter about his disposition of forces. And General Robert E. Lee was a confederate general and therefore a traitor. Of course he wouldn't be in favor. Lee was not a leprechaun and didn't talk like he was worried about people stealing his gold. He lost his great general? Not at Gettysburg he didn't. He might have meant Stonewall Jackson who died in May 1863. Notable: Lee was never Bill or Ted from "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" or a member of the Bluth family from "Arrested Development" and therefore did not say "Wow, that was a big mistake" Also, Lee ordered Pickett's Charge and the assaults on Little Round Top and Culp's Hill so he definitely did want his troops to fight uphill. Biden meanwhile just spent his Saturday night in the situation room of the White House coordinating with multiple allies and defeating an Iranian attack. He has been assembling coalitions in response to the threat to Taiwan and Russia's aggression in Ukraine. He may be older, but he's not a drooling adderal-sniffing idiot.

This is legendary stupidity

6 runs now please

Rik from the Young Ones always had his radicalism cast in that light. The "Peoples Poet" was presumed to eventually be a Tory suburbanite.

Catheter co-pays have gotten more expensive?

Those people have all donated to the DJT stock?

they want them to be authentic. that's just as good.

Noting that the massive attempt by Iran to attack Israel on Saturday (shomer shabbos!) involved a large segment of missiles that aimed into the Negev desert. Apparently they were trying to take out Israel's F-35s. Welp, Iran is putting out pictures of a bunch of MIG-29s destroyed at a Ukrainian airbase in 2022 saying that these were Israel's F-35s -- not understanding that there are no bigger and more tiresome nerds in the world than airplane recognition nerds.

I wonder if anyone showed up like Liz Lemon as Princess Leia.

He fell asleep again.

and that he earned it

The axe forgets, the tree remembers. That said: screw this guy. He needs to feel whatever penalty the rump system can give him before his minions take over forever and stomp on the face of every person who isn't pretty, white and rich.

oh nice

Jail him

Please don't show up today DJT...and go to jail.

Lost in the shuffle yesterday of the former President and current GOP nominee being on trial for felonies... What was up with Clarence Thomas not showing up to work? He out at the RV dealer looking for a nicer ride?

Trump actually had the gaul to whine about attending Baron's graduation. As if that monkey's ass would show up to that if he didn't have to.
