"DOUTHAT: Why do you all make mock of me?"

Don't that open up to a huge discourse... so many reasons... so many...

Likewise this were one to think about it:

"TRUMP: Fuck the Chief. You know who you answer to? Me!"

(Mandatory reminder that when it comes to the personal as opposed to policy, SCOTGOP has consistently failed to show their loyalty to fPOTUS.)

"[TRUMP gets very close, seems to be on the verge of laying hands on KAVANAUGH.]"

I miss the days when Roy's Trump was too weak to throw a paperweight, anything.

BTW: Everyone knows 2024 has 13 months (at least); not going to end til sometime in January 2025.

Enough joking. Re the Gay matter, gotta say that it seems the big thing was slapping only women Ivy presidents, no men. That Gay is Black is secondary IMO.

The Rufo gambit here also raises the question of just how good academically the Ivies really are. Their reps and that they're networking finishing schools for nepbabies surely is a huge factor. Maybe once they were hotbeds of academic excellence but -- again -- one wonders to what extent that might still be the case.

The height of fantasy, that Noonan would threaten Trump! I’d have sooner believed a Sandworm appeared out of the ground and swallowed him (then spit him out and said, “Yuk!”). Meanwhile, as Trump alludes to, the profession of bomb squad is poised to have a banner year. Not that the DOJ has given us any indication of understanding the stakes at risk, but quick arrests and trials with multi-lifetimes sentences for domestic terrorists are in order to discourage the 40% from continuing this campaign against election officials.

“Kavenaugh: You can’t! I was cleared!”

Cleared? I take issue with this! He wasn’t cleared since the FBI investigation was spearheaded from the Whitehouse and most of the witnesses were never interviewed. He was cleared because the entire affair was staged and rigged.

That said, include Thomas, Johnson, Stephen Miller and a few of Congress’s worst republican’s at this meeting, and we could get rid of all of America’s scum in one fell swoop!

Now that would be poetic justice...:)

Color me derelict (not to be confused with Derelict of course). Meant to gift you all with the link to the not unrelated rant:

Bill Ackman, who sounds like a Berke Breathed character, is a big Harvard donor who really wanted Gay out. It turns out his wife is/was a Professor at MIT and did essentially the same things as Gay. Big Money Bill does not think it's a big deal in his wife's case. His wife made "honest mistakes of exactly the same kind as Gay, whose mistakes were evidently not honest and exhibited "serious plagiarism issues"
