Satellites? Pfft. Only someone from the deep state would say that. The earth is flat, with a firmament. Satellites are a NASA lie. /s

The ottoman looked studiously away.

If you aren't averse to Reddit, there's a subreddit devoted to Project 2025. Lots of info there. https://www.reddit.com/r/Defeat_Project_2025/

Wow. That's devastating.

"If not me, then who?" An opposing candidate, that's who, even if that opposing candidate is my cat, you flaming sack of kookery.

" legal observers worry that the most serious tool the U.S. Constitution provides to rein in a public official is being misused as partisan weapon"

Dear legal observers: don't "worry," state the bloody obvious clearly. The House GOP has abused the most serious tool the U.S. Constitution provides to carry out a purely partisan attack.

LOL. There's a silicon valley bigwig jet tracker that I see pop up on my Reddit account, and I'm not even that interested in it.

"Lucifer in the flesh"--Ted's fellow Republican John Boehner. As Cruz’s former college roommate, Craig Mazin, once put it, “One thing Ted Cruz is really good at: uniting people who otherwise disagree about everything else in a total hatred of Ted Cruz.” George W. Bush: “I just don’t like the guy.” Bob Dole: “I don’t know how he’s going to deal with Congress. Nobody likes him.” John Boehner: “I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.” Lindsey Graham: “If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you.”

Hmm, multiple bankruptcies and lawsuits, a $25 million fraud settlement, CFO caught criming, charity fraud, four separate trials...I'm starting to think Trump and company are hinky.

As long as Trump can pay his lawyers (or Trump's friends can pay), expect stuff like this to happen. Those who can afford it get a different level of justice. See, e.g., Paxton in Texas. Compare that with all the poor saps who can't make bail and get locked up pending trial with only an overworked PD to help them.

La puta mili, as young men called it in Spain. Lots of hurry up and wait. Very little fun time driving tanks around. My father got drafted. I got lucky and didn't.

My dad worked for a major bank. Sometimes when an employee stole money from the bank, it made the news. Other times, the bank kept quiet about it. You don't always hear about this stuff because the business is too embarrassed to make it public.
