Lisa Craig - Proceed in working trot

Best of luck for a good outcome!

What is the claimed purpose of the extorted $75M? Just stealing their lunch money?

Both administrations are strangers to shame.

But the committee has now said that they will conduct "vigorous oversight." Oh, and it's all classified, so we will have to take their word for it. How can we doubt that they will Vigorously overlook anything they are told not to see? I doubt they will "see" anything. And what if they do? Nothing.

$102M is pocket change. Change for people in need requires more than her pocket lint sprinkled on the problem. Her husband is the problem.

It has made for some fun trips and a great time watching them grow up.

Johnson, of course!

We almost had an old-fashioned "rumble" between the cousins when they were small. By graduation, they were demanding senior trips across the country to see each other!

The same way they seriously considered Jamie Dimon's involvement in the housing crash...then bailed out his bank instead of seizing his assets and putting him away for life.

Did he just use the "I'm rubber and you're glue defense" against a reporter? Because I am pretty sure that the teacher with playground duty said you can't take that inside.

Right now, fighting like a very tepid heck would be a refreshing change.

Venal.

That is demented.

Tiny boost for ordering a signed Scalzi vol. from Subterranean Press: the book will come in packaging suitable for a rare-book library loan. Perfect condition, so you can give a gift book not pre-damaged (as books from one large, irresponsible vendor often are).

For a regime that ignores the Constitution, ignoring rules of legal engagement is small beer.

Pedro, Pedro, Pedro...you might have just said Frank has lost the bench without looking so gleeful 🤦

Jamie Dimon?

Oh, right. He just got off scot-free.

I hope Sarah Beckstrom's family tells Trump where to stuff his invitation to what's left of the white house.

I don't care if Kimi Antonelli got out of his car, whipped out the airport traffic-direction light wands, and bowed as Norris drove by: Death threats are unacceptable. Threats of harm are unacceptable. Threats of any kind are unacceptable.

End of story.

Got it, that clarifies a bit. Here in Chicago, mostly beating up protesters, and kidnapping.

They are not being arrested. That has a specific legal meaning. People are being kidnapped, trafficked, and systematically abused. Big difference.

Delightful. His mother must be proud. But then "he" is just as likely to be a bot account in a foreign country, financed by a billionaire... What a weird time we live in.

Conversely, that is another argument against data centers. 🤔

A worthwhile seizure.

As a Fulham first, then Tottenham, I would like to take this moment to express that 1) I am hesitantly pleased, but 2) there's no way I am going to kick sand because I am fully aware that my favs could quickly convert to the team who loses their heads and the game in a mere 45 min. 😬 Need chocolate.

So, hiding Epstein's finances and being bailed out by the American people for stealing our homes in a "crisis" you fomented looks "just fine," but the ballroom of a man who has no evidence of... large dances... is unsightly?

Ah, it was "vigorous." Oddly, from Congress, I naturally heard it the other way.

Now that they are entirely out of the loop--having abdicated all responsibility and ceded all power to the lunatic dictator--they will suddenly become rigorous in what, exactly?

Rigor mortis has thus far been the only position they have taken.

Home Depot wanted holiday cheer, got a whole-ass choir calling out their partnership with ICE instead…

I am fairly certain the the current white house resident qualifies as a narco-terrorist with his latest high-profile pardon. Is Hegseth picky about which narco-terrorists he offs? Because that could get sticky.

I don't think you are alone.

Miller poses an excellent argument against US involvement in other countries' business, particularly in "regime change" and neo-colonialist capacities. As a failed state, the putative values of the US are almost certainly unwanted worldwide.
