She stayed long enough to do some way fat insider trading and get herself vested for Congressional retirement benefits. She'll never have to work again if she doesn't want to, and there's a world of personal trainers and yoga instructors out there to explore...

This for substackers...I'm a non-service connected disabled Vietnam veteran, living on $1267/mo. I am unsubscribing from your emails, I'm tired of being farmed to support a lifestyle I certainly can't afford by buying last week's news from you.

I would be disappointed and apprehensive. If he can go into prison he can come out of prison, through appeal, parole, pardon, clemency or commutation. I don't think that is a chance we should have to risk. Twenty feet of rope.

For most of his life, Trump has been slipperier than a greased pig, and one alive has been able to take him down.

Firefox has fixed a long-standing bug. For those of us who hide our task bar, it wouldn't come back up with Firefox opened. Had to double tap the resize icon in the upper right corner, a work around I have not seen in any Firefox users' forums, but an easy work around. Don't have to do that now.

They sold us out because visions of people who wear suits and have nice cars and mortgages using food banks horrified them. All this time they haven't given a rat's ass about the rest of us lining up for groceries, but god damn it, those flight delays are the last fucking straw...

Apologies in advance to Mrs. Schlorer and her very fine mayonnaise...ahem...
I'm a sandwich man,
I'm a sandwich man,
I can throw a sandwich faster than anyone can,
When it comes out of my pocket,
It should take off like a rocket,
And let everybody know,
I'm a sandwich man,
I'm a sandwich man...

Looks like it's time to boycott Home Depot.

If they were smuggling drugs, he would be parading them all around. He's not. Says they're being sent home, and the odds are good they don't arrive alive. Fishermen may have tales to tell...

Who made the decision to go to the ball park the day after the game? I have heard it was strongly suggested by the Ojai City Manager, an Orange County ex-pat and Trump Republican. Some of us observed No Kings Day on No Kings Day at the "Y." We had room for more. OPD gave us the OK.

‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape.

I saw a blast of this earlier today, then it disappeared. If this isn't a reason to vote yes on 50 and fight like our lives and the lives of our children depend on it, I don't know what is.
