And I don't care if a career prosecutor thinks it's right or wrong. Who do you think are in all these courtrooms advocating for terrible things? Career DOJ lawyers who have made lot of compromises.

I too am so frustrated hearing bullcrap analysis trying to maybe understand or even justify Trump and his cronies weaponisation of government. Marc is one if the only people calling a pitchfork a pitchfork. There is no need to over analyse what is going on!

I get SO tired of people using wimpy, guarded, get-out-of-jail language to describe the administrations actions. Call a spade a spade!

Jazz OTD: My father gave me a CD of Herbie Hancock's "Speak Like a Child," recorded March 6, 1968, in my early years as a jazz listener, and I think neither of us quite knew what to make of it. It's harmonically ambitious, thoughtful, and I now rank it as one of my favorite Hancock records. #jazzsky

I still use Skype, although most people I know have moved to WhatsApp which I don’t like. It feels invasive. I also have Signal, reluctantly Telegram (for some family members, hopefully they will switch), and I have my regular SMS/telephone, I use 90% of the time, that’s why I pay my phone company.
