Time to attack

Monday, August 26, 2024

It’s not often that I disagree with digby over at Hullabaloo, but this is one of those times.

It would be nice, but it ain’t going to happen

Friday, August 2, 2024

I came across this article at Lawyers, Guns & Money recently, and I have to admit that I fervently hope that this speculation turns out to be true. One of the bloggers there, Paul Campos, passed on a tweet from Anthony Scarmucci (of all people) who says we should not be surprised if Trump drops […]
