Minnesota must indict the agent. They have substantial video evidence and eye witnesses. He needs to be arrested. Anyone impeding the arrest should be charged with obstructing justice.

impeach him. try to do it once a month, if necessary. build the case over and over to not just the American people but to the world that this isn’t the way things should be here, that this isn’t the way we should use our power abroad.

Taking the tree down. Most ornaments are those made by the kids in grade school. They are in their twenties now and still argue over who has the most ornaments on the tree. Maybe they'll get over it next year!

Don’t underestimate what these deviants are doing and planning. People need move. Get in the streets every day w/out delay. Strategize. It’s not going away. It’s not just going to stop. They may well have plans all worked out many times over while many are “this has to stop.” Fire in the hole…

It's good that Chinese-Russian Venezuelan influence has been negated. But Trump has no plans to benefit the Venezuelan people. No democracy. No oil profits. Just Maga authoritarianism in place of Maduro.

I'll have to reframe my attitude towards opera.
Every opera is about being so horny you kill yourself and/or others, absolute best art form for these times.

Trump has ended the 50-year lease agreement for three public golf courses in Washington DC. One of them, Rock Creek Park, is an integral part of Black golf history.
If you believe that's a coincidence, I have a red hat for you.

Wife had knee replacement. It's been about a week now and she's much improved. But geesh I have a new respect for caregivers! Various medicines every few hours, toilet, shower, medical provider visits, grocery store, cooking, laundry, etc. All during the holidays with college kids coming home.

I'm reminded of the occasional images of Roman tiles with dog prints embedded in them. These feline prints on the Christmas fudge aren't that old.

Lot of truth here.
We can’t get Congress to pass it appropriations and you want it to undertake a complex restructuring of the Court. So, what is the plan to do that folks? Who is presenting the Bill? We can’t just wave a wand in say the Dems in 2028, will do this? How are we getting to a majority in the Senate?

Big baking day. Meringue cookies, choc chip cookies, ginger snaps, pie crusts. Might do sugar cookies and more chocolate chip tomorrow. Maybe some oatmeal as well.

Here in central Illinois there is a Sunday morning infomercial in which the financial planner mansplains financial planning to a female "reporter". Really obnoxious stuff. Who would purchase services from such a financial planner? Maga farmers would.

Absolutely. Ancient Egyptians and Romans knew the importance doing this.
There's a series of things (like the ballroom, Gulf of America) that we're going to have to *undo* the moment this guy is out of office.
And yet I can already hear future Democrat presidents saying "I'm focused on the people's work, not the knucklehead stuff" and just leave this man's shit up.

Christmas is irritating. At my age I don't want anything else cluttering up the house. I'd be happy to receive a bag of M&M's. But, the kids insist on "ideas for dad". No, I can't just get him M&M's.... What a racket.

One of the biggest moments of my career:
USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!
