The Hall of Fire

Except he's too big to be tucked up under one's arm and carried off...

Let me get this straight. Ukraine made some moves toward maybe possibly hopefully maybe joining NATO some day. But it was going to take a while because NATO has certain expectations regarding military organization and equipment that Ukraine did not, at the time, meet. Nevertheless, Russia found that...

So...now what? He going to get perp-walked? They going to freeze his passports? There going to be a stand-off at Mar-a-Lago?

Oops.

This is starting to resemble a subplot in a Batman movie. New DA who won't be bought is going after a really big fish so the big fish is trying to save himself. Except in the movie it's mobsters teaming up with a supervillain and in Reality 2023 it's an ex-President teaming up with his superfans.

It's funny because it's ridiculous. So very very over-the-top ridiculous.

And to think everyone thought he was a serious person...

I've been wondering what leaks he is referring to regarding any imminent indictment and arrest. The most detail I've heard on either is coming from him. Perhaps one of his attorney's got a courtesy call?

If he gets perp-walked will his SS detail be in attendance?

I kinda forgot he was mortal. Just like the rest of us.

I wonder if we have the ability to capture a balloon without shooting it down...though I bet if we knew how to do that we'd never, ever advertise it.

Trump lied and dicked around so much he eventually gave the Feds enough probable cause to obtain and execute a search warrant on Mar-a-Lago. Since he's never shown himself capable of learning lessons I wouldn't be surprised if the process is quietly repeating for other Trump properties. If it is, we...

What was that old adage about being caught with dead girls or live boys? Something about not doing it?

Also, sometimes material gets classified long after it's generated, so some of the material found in Trump's, Biden's, and Pence's homes might not have been classified when they took it home but is considered classified now (this was also the case with Hillary's emails). Basically, the system is com...

I take it he ignored his counsel's advice to STFU.

So, if I'm following, if a certain wing doesn't get its way regarding the debt ceiling, they will pass a bill that has no chance of making it to Biden's desk? I say raise the debt ceiling, let them pass their bonkers bill, and let the Dems use what they protected the rest of us from in their Senate ...

Yeah, I'm getting the impression that stuff just gets shoved in boxes in the days approaching the end of a Presidential term. I'd also like someone, anyone, to look into how it is that NARA and other agencies were caught off-guard by the Biden discoveries. The Trump affair happened because they knew...

There's a monthly survey in which people are asked if they're employed or seeking employment. People dropping out of the workforce completely could skew that number BUT there's also an ongoing labor shortage so I don't think the issue is people dropping out of the workforce for lack of opportunities...

While the two situation are not at all equivalent, I don't think that Biden should get a complete pass. Careless treatment of classified documents is not nothing. The spooky part is apparently no one knew they were even missing until Biden's lawyers found them (and gave them back). That's a six yea...

True. And I think that's what's driving the current situation. If it were competent malice, we'd have a Speaker by now.

If he were one of my coworkers I'd tell him to stop, go get some fresh air, and offer coverage so he can maybe go home early. And then, once his head's cleared a bit, I'd even sit down with him to walk him through his results and discuss an approach to troubleshooting. But I am not one of his cowork...

I forgot about that.

Yeesh. He clearly hasn't won the allies he needs within his caucus since then.
