if the judge had thrown stone in jail,

it would have made her responsible for the safety of a witness in an counter intelligence case against the president of the united states.
i wouldnt want that on my hands.

here's my WAG as to what is gonna happen w mueller after mccabe on

deadline whitehouse today-

he talked about what they did when comey was fired. he said they looked at closing out cases, opening cases, or farming out cases.
he spoke about his certainty that anything left over from mueller would be farmed out to capable us attys, and fbi field offices, who would carry on and prosecute those cases.

so, carrying boxes out? right after the new ag takes over?
imho, they are farming much out.

if he wants to make a splash, he will drop a report, and us attys all over the country will drop indictments.

he would be stupid to sit back and see what barr does.
and he aint stupid.


if you missed nicole wallace today, go watch the whole show.
it knocked my socks off.

hey chicago. who ya pickin for mayor?

i should have a new alderman, hopefully in the primary. joe moore is pretty widely hated up here in 49, but has lucked out w shitty opponents. this time he has a hard charging young lady who has been at the doors for a long time now.
whassup in your hood?


as for the throne?

daley, hell no.

preckwinkle, i can live w her. hands are not that clean, but she has done very good work at the county, imho. i suspect she will win.

chico, better than daley. good commercials. think he has a prayer.

mccarthy? dont make me laugh.

ameya, i like her, but i think she has baggage. not good in a tight runoff.

mendoza, a disappointment to me right now. used to love her. but she is pretty tightly tied to solis, and who knows what he did to wear that wire.

i am thinking lightfoot, because police brutality is a huge issue for me.

thoughts?

i got a question for justin fairfax-

if the encounter was consensual, why didnt you pursue her after that?
you say you kept in touch, she says she never talked to you again.

i'm going to make an assumption that if you had followed up on starting a relationship, she would have included that in her statement. and so would you.
so, you never called her? you never checked in w her? never tried to follow up?

you know what i call that?
consciousness of guilt.

any dolly parton fans here? need recommendations.

so, i gotta say that growing up i was not a country fan. it was the golden age of twang and sequins, and i was a beatle fan. i remember seeing dolly and porter wagner on teevee, and thinking- what a weirdo.

but she and i aged, country changed, and i find myself liking a lot of old country. johnny cash, hank williams, roots stuff.
i liked a lot of her later records.
and i fell in love w her in 9 to 5.

and of course, i see what an amazing person she is.

so, anyway, i keep seeing the apleebees commercial w "here you come again" (?) and thinking i would like to listen to more dolly.
but iirc, she holds the record for the most album ever.

so, help me out fans. recommend.
