An oft ranted rant in the liberal blogosphere

You can’t spend much time on the left wing blogosphere without running into a rant like that which follows, but I’m going to do it anyway. It has become increasingly obvious that Donald Trump’s mental illness has become more extreme, exacerbated, no doubt, by oncoming senility. I have not kept up a database of the […]

Fun reading

I just finished reading the Georgia indictment. A bit of a slog, since you have to go through so much boilerplate legal language, but still a fun read. I didn’t practice criminal law, and RICO wasn’t a thing when I took criminal law in law school, but it looks like a pretty strong case to […]

It’s Good Friday again

Almost forgot to keep up the tradition. This year I am going to dedicate this video to a certain very stable genius whose followers keep comparing him to Brian by claiming he’s being crucified. Maybe he should follow Eric Idle’s advice instead of constantly confessing to his crimes on his failing twitter rip-off. As to […]

The January 6th Committee closes up shop

I watched a good deal of the January 6th committee’s hearing and I’ve downloaded their report, which you can find here. I haven’t read the whole thing, but what I’ve read so far is well structured and persuasive, but when you come right down to it, it’s a fairly easy case to prove. Trump is […]

Here we go again

I am in Vermont at the moment, looking out of window at a snow scene, wondering why we ever came up here in the first place, given that we knew this snow was coming. Featured in the view from here is an extremely muddy road, recently scraped by a snow plow and now being sopped […]

Is anyone qualified to sit on a Trump jury?

I was not surprised at all to learn that they’re having a bit of trouble picking a jury  for the civil case against the Trump Organization. It seems that a lot of people have preconceived notions about Donald Trump, and although he’s technically not a party, it just might affect their judgment. What a surprise! […]

Trump’s subpoena

I spent part of Thursday afternoon watching the January 6th hearings. One of the pundits on PBS felt that it was a bad move on the committee’s part to subpoena the genius, because-guess what- the Trumpers will criticize them. I think it may work out well in some ways, though I doubt that Trump will […]

A bit of speculation

I have to say that I like the January 6th committee’s pattern of having Liz Cheney drop a bombshell at the end of each hearing. Today we learned that the genius tried to tamper with a witness, who refused to take his call, notified his or her lawyer, who notified the committee, which notified the […]

A bit of a surprise yesterday, and…

And some more or less random observations. First, to the surprise. I’ve been watching the January 6th hearings on my IPad, and I think they’ve been quite useful, but until yesterday nothing I heard surprised me. Most of it was already known, and what wasn’t already known fit so neatly into the Trumpian pattern that […]

Is Fox ditching Trump?

One has to wonder. I don’t even have a TV, and if I did, I’d still let the folks at Crooks & Liars watch Fox for me, but from what a gather from reading about the folks at Fox, and Brian Kilmeade in particular, one must wonder if a decision has been made that it […]
