jake palumbo. anyone here ever heard of him?
this is my middle child's man. he stole her away, took her off to the big(ger) city.
it gave me a jolt to realize i was seeing her new landscape. it felt good. oh yeah, she has coney island now.

anyway, kid's a good lefty, woke.

if you allow an age of presidential overreach, expect more frequent impeachments.

we wouldnt be seeing increased calls for impeachment if we didnt have presidents pushing the limits of their power all.the.time.
funny it's mostly rethuglicans, tho.

checks and balances, ladies and gentlemen.

but if we dont follow through soon, it becomes a meaningless side show.

trump is in a box of his own stupidity.

i said this the day he was impeached- at base, this comes down to how flat out stupid he is.

i am beginning to get a little more hopeful as this unfolds.
because clearly, the defense is built by and for trump.
he has built himself and even tighter box of stupidity.

it's not enough for republicans to make it a foregone conclusion that he will be acquitted, they must also validate his stupid.

i think it is might be, just maybe, a little, for a couple, too much to ask.
i hope the ratings and the shares are through the roof.
they are hoping no one is looking.

ps- if there are 4, there are more.

if the turtle doesnt cave, the house should call bolton.

prolly a better way for it to play out, anyway.
hold things up while more relevant testimony is given, and the senate can play games w the questioning.
and it gets on the teevee pretty quick.

Raising sons who became daughters is a shared story

for Kim Lightford, Heather Steans
The powerful Illinois senators have a similar life-changing story: They both have sons who are transitioning to female

heartwarming story about my state senator, steans.

there needs to be a meeting of the impeachment committees on mon morning.

judiciary should take about 10 minutes to put up an article that he is barking mad and must be stopped right now.
everybody knows it wont remove him, but it is past time this man's brain damage stopped flying under the radar.

they need to call the wh doc, and get his file from reed, and tell the whole planet that not only is he unfit, there was a coordinating coverup of his unfitness at the highest levels.

he is threatening war crimes, ferkrisakes. and we now know the generals are still following his insane commands, and dont even have the sense to not put this kind of thing on the table in the first place.
besides being criminally insane, this plan has nothing in it that can go anywhere but straight to hell.

please dont tell me we dont have a break glass plan.
ukraine broke the glass on impeachment. once the trigger was pulled, it went down flawlessly.
there has to be another layer of that glass.

make them put this shit on the teevee machine, dems.
it's time. put the shrinks that have been begging people to take his insanity seriously, esp about how at this point anyone still there is suffering w group psychosis. put some neurologists on there, and asking them intelligent question.
put the clips together. the slurring, the stumbling, the before and afters.

i predict the people will step up to the plate, finally.
i know you cant get through to some people, but when it's all over the teevee that he is nuts, it gets hard to block that out of your cognition.

there are already war protests kicking up. many were up overnight.

please please madam speaker. take that fucking lethal mace, and break the glass.
imho, what has hampered the effectiveness of protests so far has been the lack of a real leader on the inside.
lead, madam speaker, and the whole world will spill into the streets to follow. i really do believe that.
i bet she does too.
please. please please.

i think nancy pelosi needs to wear that pin every day until this national emergency ends.

the black dress would be a nice touch, too.
make even fox news remind him that she holds the power.

eta further words that popped out when i put this on my fb page-

he just handed her full control of the u.s. govt.
this is the national emergency that we always knew was coming. and he did it to himself.

one of the shrinks that has been sounding the alarm warned that he could only explode as the walls closed in.
all the adults have left the room.

no grandmother worth her salt doesnt step right up.

that pin, btw, is the mace of the congress. we dont do crowns, because we dont do kings.
but we sure as fuck do fucking lethal fucking weapons, and nancy is teeing his ass up.

expect an article for incompetence. for unfitness.
expect dr ronnie feelgood in the dock.
expect the records of that bogus exam to be subpoenaed. or leaked, if there is a patriot left at walter reed hospital.
expect ronnie to die behind bars.

this is our only hope to redeem ourselves in the eyes of the sane everywhere.
dont think pelosi doesnt know that.
i understand biden is about to step up to the microphone and say exactly this.

this was only ever going to end one way.
you are here.

buckle up.

eta2- it might have thought it was waging the dog, but it forgot who's holding the leash.
or is it just a perv who wants a dog walk?

is it time to knock back the president's sweeping, creeping war powers?

i have said several times that i just hope twitler breaks some things that need breaking.
seems to me this would be a good time to reset the creeping war powers that the last half dozen presidents have stretched beyond the constitution.

he didnt even notify the gang of 8.
no way the aumf stretches all the way to iran.
and he has already been warned about this.

count #3- starting an unauthorized war.

might even buy us a bit of time w the rest of the world.
