In addition to pardoning David Gentile, Trump absolved him from having to make restitution. All the people robbed will never get back a dime. Trump's contempt for his constituents while embracing those who prey upon them is loathsome. As is he.

On a lighter note: Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol possibly my favorite version of the story. I know, Alistair Sim, Reginald Owen, blah blah blah all fine. But Mr Magoo!

Guaranteed overheard, Thanksgiving dinner: And he wants a ballroom fer christsakes, he can barely walk,he's gonna dance?

Trump says Somalians are ripping off this country like we've never seen before. He forgets, we've seen him and his family.

Everything with this administration is performative nonsense to cater to an ever-shrinking base,” says Justin Amash, former Republican Representative, in tesponse to calls for Mark Kelly's court martial.

Streaming services altered society in the 21st century by offering on demand viewing. With appointment viewing, everyone in the nation all sat down at the same time, watched the same tv shows, commercials, movies, music videos, news, sports which functioned as a unifying mechanism of Social Cohesion

As gratitude is a virtue, considered the greatest, leading to humility and compassion, it's unlikely trump has ever experienced it; no evidence of any of those virtues. When he accuses Zelensky or anyone of ingratitude, he simply means he feels his ass was insufficiently kissed. Piggy indeed.

I used to wish for an extraordinary life, reading Kerouac as a suburban teenager, but as an adult in my 20's saw that wasn't gonna happen. Much later I realized, though my life was ordinary, it had been filled, and continues to be filled with extraordinary moments. For me, that is more than enough

Trump is the Queen of Hearts. The parallels with his fictional counterpart are extraordinary.

Unpopular opinion, I know, but I don't believe our pets would talk to us like a 3 year old gargling the English language, as some posts would have us believe. Santo, my dog, would speak in complete sentences, and sound like Hank Azaria.

A judge rules against the Administration, Steven Miller calls her a terrorist, her house is burned to the ground. Violence wielded with impunity. This scares the hell out of me.

Michael Flynn is getting 50 million??! Everyone who supported Trumps lies is getting paid for it?? Mob boss, anybody? Oh that he burns in hell for eternity, he strikes at the very soul of our country. Somebody, please, expose him.

And finally, another ridiculous pose

Possibly the presence of a crumb.

Santo's favorite time of day. And mine.

Pam Bondi calls Prop 50's success a "brazen power grab"... by the voters? Isn't that what democracy is about? What does she call what happened in Texas? The lunatics have taken over the asylum.

So angry those Republican senators who pushed a lie are now suing for being investigated that I would like to see the return of, if not public stoning, the pillory, and stocks, whereby crooks and conmen were tied up and pelted with rotten food. Public humiliation. Then jail. I have a list.
