Someone at the WH could really mess with his head by asking, "Mr. President, has anyone ever seen Zohran Mamdani and JD Vance in the same room at the same time?"

In theory, it could be both, but that would lead to the conclusion that technology has no purpose apart from its own perpetuation.

21.11.2025 19:23 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Turning to Bovino, the Court specifically finds his testimony not credible. Bovino appeared evasive over the three days of his deposition, either providing “cute” responses to Plaintiffs’ counsel’s questions or outright lying. When shown a video of agents hitting Rev. Black with pepper balls, Bovino denied seeing a projectile hit Rev. Black in the head. Doc. 191- 3 at 162:21–165:17; Doc. 22-44 (Ex. 44 at 0:10–12, available at https://spaces.hightail.com/space/ZzXNsei63k). In another video shown to Bovino, he obviously tackles Scott Blackburn, one of Plaintiffs’ declarants. Doc. 191-3 at 172:13–173:7; Doc. 22-45 (Ex. 45 at 0:19–30, available at https://spaces.hightail.com/space/ZzXNsei63k). But instead of admitting to using force against Blackburn, Bovino denied it and instead stated that force was used against him.
Judge Ellis derides Greg Bovino as a serial fabulist who brazenly lied on the stand and seemingly considered it funny to perjure himself. cst.brightspotcdn.com/49/34/daecfb...

Perhaps the House ought to take a cue from the Senate and make the Speaker purely a presiding officer who calls the body into session when it needs to be in session, not when someone at the WH says it's OK.

Also, that's why I never try to make a call on a hotel phone.
Also, someone ought to buy a roll of tiny stickers in the shape of a telephone, and put one on every "8" key in your office to tell people that's how to get an outside line.
This notice of "correction" is very lawyered.
- No affidavit or declaration by counsel seeking to amend, clarify, or correct representations they made to the court during yesterday's hearing
- No assertion that the full grand jury actually saw the 2-count charging document
- Etc.
This is getting so bad, I'm afraid it might rub off on all lawyers. How long before judges decide that every lawyer appearing in their court will be put under oath before uttering a word?
It surprises me that Trump has found so many underlings who share his utter disdain for the rest of humanity.
The *idea* of the US is what makes people think it's a great nation. But every idea carries within it the seeds of its own destruction.
It's no coincidence that citizens of countries that steadfastly refuse to claim any degree of greatness are more secure financially and emotionally than the US.
Usually any parental lecture should suffice.

OTOH, for a coach seat with less leg room than the back seat of a Hyundai, I’ll wear whatever says “fuck you” to the airlines.
Mr. Tux must be the head of Antifa.

This action, coupled with the President's call to hang Democratic members of Congress - both in the past few hrs - are more than "potentially divisive."
They are vile, unconscionable, and dangerous.
My only quibble is that normally, a terrorist acts to further an ideology or the interests of another country. This fucker’s M.O. is to use violence and intimidation purely to further his own personal interest in amassing wealth and power. That’s more reminiscent of Stalin than bin Laden.
