You assume the accounts had positive balances?
Reminds me of “If Newhouse was jumping off a cliff…”
“Newhouse? Cliff? I’m THERE!”
[Bart runs out, slamming screen door]
From context, I’m wondering if that shouldn’t be Milhouse.
Look out Cliff!
I peruse Google News every day and that’s about the limit of my real-time news intake. I don’t do social media except here.
There’s daily news about Trump’s impeachment, but zero about Trump. Are he or his representatives making any noise in the RW mediasphere that I’m just not aware of? Or has he / Kushner / Giuliani / etc., collectively just gone (thankfully) dead silent?
Trump has not disappeared.
TLDR, Trump is trying to sow chaos in state races, most likely as leverage to get Senators to oppose impeachment (“…or else I’ll do this to you!”). Whether this turns into anything long term is as yet unknown.
This suggests that, if he doesn’t get bored or is otherwise occupied by next year, he might make good on his threats to interfere with Kemp’s re-election in Georgia. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear…
Thanks. It’s interesting to me that one look at Kelli Ward’s face clearly shows the insanity in her head.
On a more strategic note, in various discussions about 3rd parties in the USA, it’s often pointed out that you can’t successfully develop a third party by electing a 3rd party president. You grow a third party from the statehouse up.
It appears Trump (Trump’s backers actually) are taking a leaf from that book and is now conducting a hostile takeover of the Rs from the base upwards. They won’t be a third party. But just like a business takeover, it’ll be new management and a new product line with the familiar old logo and brand name. Trumplicans indeed.
One of my favourite series.
Speaking of Trump, where is he?
Is he holed up while the can-he-live-here case wends it way through the courts, or is he holed up on a Motel 6 somewhere?
He’s living in Mar-a-Lago. Sure, it’s illegal for him to live there and he signed an agreement saying he wouldn’t do so. But when has Trump ever felt bound by the law or a contract?
Yep. As I mentioned elsewhere, the direction being taken by the radicals is to take over the organizational positions and control of the material and intangible assets, leaving the Establishment Republicans “homeless” so they can be deplatformed and deprived of the branding and its entailed mailing lists, campaign volunteers, funding sources, etc. if they do not submit.
Now I know what it felt like to live in 1925 or 1927 Germany.
Post-Putsch, pre-Depression. A lot looks normal, but you can feel the ground shifting under your feet.
Here’s some news about et. al.:
That should be “alumnus”. The AP is slipping.
Trump’s lawyers left him last week; it seems that money was the reason why:
Somehow that all still didn’t work, so now Trump has a new legal team:
Point taken, but unlike, say, a wedding caterer or a purveyor of pianos, the folks in the surrounding community probably have the resources to out-lawyer him when they place a lien on the property and have him evicted.
An event which I await with eager anticipation (but not bated breath).
And they hit the ground running
Nothing says “I’m serious & not incompetent” like minor errors in a legal filing.
I don’t feel it’s a valid comparison.
In 1920’s Germany you had a dysfunctional country and the Nazis were able to use that as an opening to seize power.
In 2020’s America we have a dysfunctional political party that’s looking for an opening to seize power. The Republicans are trying to use their own incompetence as a weapon against competent people. Which is not a very good plan.
