I was thinking about this tonight. As a kid I was a
drawn to politics, and held high regard for Scandinavian countries. I’m 66, The concept of American Exceptionalism had nothing to do with how these folks evolved, and the concept has turned to dust under this administration. Not great.

Last I knew, Jack Smith was in London. I hope he continues to work from abroad, that he spends time in The Hague, and that the ICC hires him to make Trump atone for his war crimes.

I'm no attorney or legislator, but I think I could make a compelling argument with 3 U.S. Code § 109.

I feel like I should apologize... But I really AM on your side here.

I'm just so pissed off about so much it's bleeding into everything, and truth feels so all-important. I remember in 2012 warning FB friends about unsourced text-based images and being ridiculed.

And here we are.

Sometimes I feel I've missed my calling and should have been either an attorney or a journalist.

I can't imagine being either today.

Those worlds are upside-down.

And it makes me sad.

And understand, I'm on your side here... But I can't think of a time in my life, and I'm sixty-six years old, when facts have mattered more and finding them has been more elusive.

For at least 15 years, I have railed against people indiscriminately posting image-based content without providing a source. Just sayin'...

This is the best and most recent source I can find relating to this and worth a read:

I'm no fan of Donald Trump, but he does seem to get around for his age. Some days it seems he should be getting around some third-floor dementia hall somewhere, but he does get around!

Has the gang of eight sat in a room and talked about this problem recently?

It's inventory time at the White House.

The first part of this is what inspired me to go and search for the clip. And I found that profoundly sad. I hadn't thought of this in decades, but current events brought it to mind. It was the first half that was on my mind, but stick around for the second half... the whole thing is two minutes.

OK, the first post was an error... the rest was posted a bit later...

I'm seeing a post that says Lisa Monaco, but I can't confirm the post actually happened. Both are images, and the one above has an earlier timestamp than the "full" one I saw on Instagram. I can't find any credible evidence that this happened and I'm not joining Truth Social to find out!

If he gets to speak, I hope he's telecommuting from The Hague.

I'm glad he's not in the States, but hope he'll be telecommuting from The Hague.

When Phil Scott says it's time, it's probably time.

Here's looking at you, Trump and Company.

These people are brain-dead.

Read between the lines... the sky is BLUE here!

What's up, Bluesky? We thought you might've missed some of our greatest hits, so we put this together for you.

Can't wait to spend more quality time together! ❤️🇺🇸

I'm in the relative quiet of Rutland, Vermont, but find myself wondering if any larger metro areas are seeing any military staging happening in advance of tomorrow?

Tom Irish @ziggyjagger.bsky.social · 15d

Wow... that's terrible. This administration is doing the limbo; how low can you go?

Tom Irish @ziggyjagger.bsky.social · 18d
