Can't even imagine what it's like to be that delusional.

Bondi defends U.S. attorney at center of Comey, James case dismissals, vows to appeal "Lindsay Halligan is an excellent U.S. attorney," Bondi said of Trump's former personal lawyer.

Attorney General Pam Bondi defended the U.S. attorney at the center of today's dismissal of the cases against ex-FBI chief James Comey and N.Y. AG Letitia James and vowed to "take all available legal action, including an immediate appeal."

The bill last numbered H.R. 9495 would empower the Treasury Secretary to designate any nonprofit the Secretary wishes to kill a “terrorist supporting organization” and revoke the tax-exempt status on which it depends for survival. Unconstitutional but lethal in the harm it would do while in force.

The Irish far-right 'says no' bigots have an awful lot to answer for on this island. Their tactics spread to the UK, mostly notably England. Same chant, same hatefilled bigots - just a different flag. Although are own are known to have a liking for the auld union fleg at times...

Crazy that the mayor-elect of NYC and the Pope are pretty much the two most beloved political figures right now

Got to see the new Waiting for Godot production with @alexwinter.com and it's phenomenal. Highly recommend. Loved every aspect of the production - set, lights, design, performances. See it if you can!

I was 4 when it happened. Mom was baking cookies. A towel was on the kitchen table for hot cookies. She'd moved cookies when the announcement was on the radio.
The white rings, from the heat, left behind, are still on the table. It's mine now, refinishing didn't fix the rings, a lasting reminder.

I was in 8th grade math class when my teacher told us. Next class was Language Arts and my teacher, Mrs. Stone, simply could not teach. We all sat stunned and silently crying.

Wow, I was also in second grade. An announcement came over the intercom and Miss Burwell began to cry. My mom stayed home from work to watch the funeral on TV. Pretty confusing for a kid to see her teacher and her mom break down in the same week.

I was in second grade too, home from school that day with my Mom who was ironing. I remember Walter Cronkite taking off his glasses to look at the clock to tell the time of Kennedy’s death and his eyes were full of tears. That’s when my Mom and me cried.

I was in second grade. Another teacher burst into the room and ran toward Mrs Walton crying - The President has been shot “.
Mrs Walton started to cry.
That night was the first time I ever saw my dad cry. I was shocked because I knew he voted for Nixon.

My dad was the mailman at the local radio station & was there when the ticker tape message came in. Said he called his mom, using the reporters phone & told her "put on the TV. Bad news coming."

The cab did not have a radio. I didn't know what he meant. I came home -- we were on Fifth Avenue at the time -- and I got out of the taxi, the doorman came to me. He had tears in his eyes. He said, "Oh, Mr. Nixon. Have you heard, sir?"

I had been in Dallas speaking to the Pepsi Cola people. I was their lawyer. I landed in New York, Idlewild, about 1:30. I was in a taxi near the 59th St. Bridge. We were stopped at the light and a man said, "Do you have a radio? I just heard the President was shot."

I believe wholeheartedly music connects us all. A song could be written in a whole other language, but you still feel it. You still get it and understand. There's a lot of beauty in that

DC jury acquitted the Sandwich Guy. Lindsay Halligan can’t even bring an indictment because she’s not legit. Jeanine Pirro couldn't get a conviction because she’s incompetent.

As the judge pointed out, incompetent Pam Bondi completely screwed up the appointment of Halligan in violation of the law.

Finland announces migration of its rail network to international gauge The Finnish government announces the migration of its rail network from Russian gauge (1,524 mm) to international gauge (1,435 mm) from 2032. The change aims to improve military mobility and regional ...

Finland uses “Russia-gauge” rails. They are going to move to European compatible rail gauge for their own resilience.

This is what we should be thinking about for moving to open social away from American platforms: it should come with significant spending commitments & is absolutely necessary.

A - freaking - men
this should have torpedoed his presidency in and of itself

Was trying to work out in which way Shabana Mahmood, an otherwise pretty unremarkable politician, could possibly be described as a "luminous golden star" who "dazzles like a blue-white supernova" and then I realised, its simply a willingness to be a bit more cruel to immigrants

Trump’s policies have spurred increases in costs of food and health care, report says 'This is like the worst corruption and decadence of Roman emperors. We must reverse course for the sake of our health, economy, and democracy,' state Rep. Arvind Venkat said.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND HIS REGIME ARE TRAITORS TO THE UNITED STATES AND OUR ALLIES.

'Excuse me, is this Stereolab? Yeah. Yeah, it is. I haven't heard this one. It's really...' - High Fidelity Caroline Fortis: Excuse me, is this Stereolab? Rob: Yeah. Yeah, it is. Caroline Fortis: I haven't heard this one. It's really good. Rob: Yeah, I know Caroline Fortis: Are you Bob? Rob: Rob.

I suddenly feel like Rob Gordon being told the music he's playing is really good.

I've always liked the Hard Boiled Detective genre, regardless of whether they are in the movies or the printed paper of novels, I just like 'em.
