TickTock म्हणाले...: While thinking of the comments on the Trump indictment I reflected that what has passed into history is the sense that no matter what differences of opinion we might have with others, we were in the last analysis Americans, and our primary allegiance was to a system that tolerated differences. Perhaps that was an illusion of my callow youth, but certainly it was on shared with many others. Now, as pointed out, we have become a banana republic where will to power governs enough of those with influence that all is cast aside.

In a few years, perhaps sooner, I will pass and it is all too likely that I will die with no sign that that my country will be redeemed.

Terribly maudlin thoughts for a summer evening in a lovely garden. Love the boat in the morning light.; २/८/२३, ७:२७ PM

Wa St Blogger म्हणाले...: @ TickTock,

There is no goodwill in America today. To not be on one side it to be on the other. No matter how many things you might agree with on the one side, to oppose on one issue is to be on the other. The other side is evil, so don't disagree with anything that the one side says is good.

The Seattle Times just fired a leftist columnist because he had the audacity to say Lenin might be worse than Hitler in some aspects.

We are in such a state that when the right puts out a movie that depicts child sex slavery is bad, the left has to automatically oppose them as conspiracy nuts. A bill in California that wanted to increase penalties for repeat offenders of child trafficking was defeated by the left because the bill was put forth by a Republican.

This is the state our country is in. What one side supports the other must oppose, no matter how crazy taking that side of the argument might be. One is simply not allowed to share common cause on any issue with the "enemy".; २/८/२३, ८:०९ PM
boatbuilder म्हणाले...: I have been thinking about the Joe Klein "I would find it extremely hard to believe" piece, which Althouse posted on this morning. It's in the WaPo, the Democrat propaganda organ.

Why did they publish it? Does anyone think that Klein, who is about as wired in to the Democrat power structure as anyone in the country, and as a Clinton insider has to be about as cynical as they come, really believes that Joe is just a soft dad who refused to accept that his son was the self-evident seller of access that we all know him to be, and merely enabled Hunter because he was weak? While he (Klein) lays out the evidence against Biden?

Nope. I think this is a message from the Clinton camp to Biden--the jig is up.

Things may be about to get very interesting.; २/८/२३, ८:१३ PM
Jaq म्हणाले...: June 7: FBI releases documents to Congress alleging the Bidens took a $10M bribe from Burisma.

June 8: Jack Smith indicts Trump in Mar-a-Lago docs case.

July 26: Hunter Biden goes to court and rejects sweetheart plea deal after it was revealed DOJ tried to give him blanket immunity from future prosecutions.

July 27: Jack Smith adds more charges for Trump in the Mar-a-lago case.

July 31: Hunter Biden's former business partner testifies to Congress that Joe Biden was on over 20 calls with his son's business partners and that Burisma execs pressured them to fire the prosecutor

August 1: Jack Smith indicts Trump again for January 6.

Look for more now that the DoJ has moved the Hunter immunity farce to a judge in a far more Biden friendly Delaware. A judge that probably owes his job to Joe Biden, and a judge in a state where Joe Biden can punish his enemies easily.; २/८/२३, ८:१६ PM
Lilly, a dog म्हणाले...: Domingo German threw a perfect game on June 28th (featured in an Althouse post). Now he will miss the rest of the baseball season after entering inpatient treatment for alcohol abuse.; २/८/२३, ८:४१ PM
Lem Vibe Bandit म्हणाले...: If this timeline is not lying, it's bigger than big. It's huge.

3/17 - Hunter admits laptop
3/18 - Trump indictment news

6/8 - FBI doc alleges Biden bribe
6/9 - Trump indicted

7/26 - Hunter plea deal collapses
7/27 - Trump indicted

7/31 - Devon Archer testifies
8/1 - Trump indicted

Before seeing this tidbit, I had chalked up the indictments to sheer ambition. How you like to be the prosecutor that put Orange man away for good? Get in line while the getting is good... or something. No collusion/conspiracy with regular zoom meetings needed. But this timeline suggests something different. Maybe there is something to the charge DOJ has become nakedly politicized.; २/८/२३, ८:४२ PM

The country is being redeemed as we speak. Look how scared lefties are of all of us. We win this one.; २/८/२३, ८:५३ PM
rhhardin म्हणाले...: Richard Epstein Trump should lose on this indictment.

Epstein went to mostly useless when Trump was elected owing to a complete inability to read Trump, along with his legal analysis sinking into irrelevance when the dems stopped following any law.

World's sharpest mind goes round the bend.; २/८/२३, ९:२६ PM
gadfly म्हणाले...: tim in vermont: Your facts are not facts. DOJ released a document (demanded by James Comer) that contained false information, Devon Archer never said anything bad about the Bidens in his testimony to Comer's committee and finally, Hunter's trial is on hold at the direction of the judge.

Conspiracies are always unproven. Now we can get on with proving Trump broke lots of laws.; २/८/२३, ९:५३ PM
Josephbleau म्हणाले...: Every time I drive by the FBI office on Roosevelt St, I throw up a little bit, in my mouth. That is what a Facist takeover does to the people.; २/८/२३, १०:०२ PM
Gospace म्हणाले...: Over at threadreaderapp tonight at least 4 threads by four different people rehashing an older conspiracy type theory- that the USA is currently being run behind the scenes by a military cabal loyal to Trump. Seems whenever this pops up, it's not one thread- it's many. And there's a difference too- the people running this psyop (because that's what it has to be) are more intelligent then people doing lefty themes in general. Because every single one of them is unique with differences from one to the next. Leftist themes from different people are almost, if not exactly, identical word for word.

What I cannot figure out- who benefits from this psyop? Not Trump for one. And certainly not Biden, since a shadow government running things makes him look like more a fool then he is. Doesn't help congress, and certainly doesn't help the military nor any 3 letter agency.

So all that's left is a foreign actor with some native American English speakers looking to create- something. But what?

Here's one: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1685652704805171200.html

Here's another: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1686738064683515904.html

The there's the January 6th threads- that have a lot more going for them. First off- there's no doubt that there were feds and agents provocateur in the crowd. Likely undercover capitol police to boot. And if Ray Epps isn't a fed plant- the complete lack of action on him by the January 6th prosecutors and the curious lack of interest in him by the MSM sure make it look like he is. Do I think he is? Yes- either directly or as an informant or some other capacity- not a direct employee. But who else may have been involved.

Another thread of interest: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1686907274692861952.html

Separating wheat from chaff about January 6th is nigh on impossible because the Democrats in Congress, the Capitol police, and the January 6th prosecutors, are hiding everything they can about it except for what they want us to know- and anyone with a lick of sense doesn't believe them about anything. Ashli Babbitt was murdered in cold blood. If that had been a white officer and a black woman- the riots would still be going on.; २/८/२३, ११:४५ PM
Readering म्हणाले...: Ramaswamy talking about 9/11 coverup. I guess he figured Trump talkimg about Oswald didn't hurt.; ३/८/२३, १२:४९ AM
planetgeo म्हणाले...: You and Meade could have become fabulously wealthy if you had teamed up with Jack Handey, providing your sunrise images for his "Deep Thoughts" series. Your first photo would be perfect for the following classic deep thought (scrolling):

"I can picture in my mind
a world without war,
a world without hate.
And I can picture us
attacking that world,
because they'd never expect it."; ३/८/२३, ८:३४ AM
Jim at म्हणाले...: Devon Archer never said anything bad about the Bidens in his testimony to Comer's committee

So you were there? Cool. What else did he say or not say?; ३/८/२३, ३:३२ PM
