Kind of odd, in some other countries it is the trans that are beat up by thugs. In LOS the trans are the thugs. Maybe there isn't much demand for their services these days if this is what is becoming of them. As for India they have a chaste of their own; I wouldn't say they were respected but they are usually left in peace. Perhaps this Indian fellow spoke with them because he didn't see them as some sort of threat.

The first time I was eligible to vote in a presidential election was Nixon vs McGovern. I didn't want either, but that's all they give ya. I didn't vote in a presidential election until 1988. And then not until 2008. Up until the 1990s the Dems and the GOP were not all that different.

Better to read the unredacted Mueller report than Barr's corrupted Cliff's Notes version.

Neil Young releases 'lost' 1977 album 'Chrome Dreams' It's out, dl-ing it now, haven't heard it yet. He also released a live acoustic album from the 1970s some years back.

I recall that when they had him under house arrest he was telephoning witnesses and other things he shouldn't have been doing. I think the released him early on a Covid-related pretense. It is hard to keep up the full-time DT reality show.

He parked himself there a few years back I recall, so this is no big deal. I recall reading stories about people who would go there spouting redshirt sympathies trying to get some dosh off of him, and he sends them away empty-handed.

The Republican Party must face that if they let him run the party gets a black-eye in history -- they ran a seditionist/grifter . If he wins even worse.

And then there was this https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/376097-trump-take-the-guns-first-go-through-due-process-second/ I also take some curiosity in the witness report of 1/6 that DT was not at all afraid if the crowd was armed. From what I've seen of his 24/7 reality show over these past eight years I think he was being uncharacteristically brave.

Fining a man worth $300 billion $350,000 is a joke.

Sikhs?

Wow, with Georgia in the news as of late I've been thinking about this.

Donald Trump says he will ask the Judge to step aside People in Hell ask for ice cream. Maybe he should just ask her instead of saying he will ask her. "Defendant asks judge to quit" would be the headline, one worthy of The Onion. Really now, him and his cabal claim all innocence but they behave guilty as hell.

Alcohol and attitude, great combo. Maybe after a few nights of drinking and whoring a good arsch whoppin' will clear their heads.

I think he's describing something that happened in private with Putin in Helsinki.

And I'm sure Miz Willis is grateful for stuff like this, which makes it easier for her to do her job. Hey, I heard about a woman who had sex with a jackass! She calls herself Stormy Daniels.

But he means well when he says it Worst thing about hell is that him and his family would be there.

Links please.

Sounds about right.

Isn't it like a Sith lord to accuse someone else of being a Sith lord? Don't you hate it when people use pop-culture references they don't actually get?

Good idea, in a Darwinian way . . .

This could be seen as a slap in the face, as he considers Swampy one of his great achievements.

Good to hear. This kind of humor doesn't work anymore, at least not in US politics. Look through any thread on this subject.

Hectoring and threatening the person(s) who can hold your fate is not a smart thing to do. Yet he does. Is it insanity yet?

The younger people know this is their father's Pheu Thai, not their's.

Word has leaked into the US mediasphere that DT's lawyers were expecting the charges to be about the rally before the Capitol attack, about the inciting language, the noose, and so on. Seems the fake electors charges caught them off guard. Only the best people . . . Here's what I'm waiting for: recall the story Cassidy Hutchinson conveyed about DT wanting to go to the Capitol, grabbed the steering wheel, etc? I don't believe that happened, I think DT cooked that up for the sake of the MAGA crowd, an "I wanted to be there but they wouldn't let me" excuse. The steering wheel bit is the 'laying it on too thick' part. She wasn't in the car, the story was told to her by one of DT's handlers.
