Why did it take three years after J6 to prosecute Trump, and why will it be more than four years since J6 before he sees a trial? Why is Steve Bannon still NOT in jail, despite losing his appeal on his conviction for contempt of Congress? Oh, I have SO MANY questions.
Obviously I have no idea, but the scuttlebutt seems to be the Alitos are vindictive assholes (surprise, surprise) and in the heated atmosphere following J6 the neighbors didn't want to go public.
Having an asshole neighbor is bad enough. Having an asshole neighbor who is one of the most powerful men in the country...well. Makes me wonder if the neighbor who went public with the photo didn't wait until they were planning to move anyway before doing so.
I was thinking that roy needs to recalibrate his hyperbole settings. this tale does tip a little too much toward the believable end of the speculum...er, spectrum, yeah, spectrum.
Like I said on the blog, I didn't believe any SCOTUS spouse could make Ginni Thomas look marginally stable by comparison, but Mrs. Alito is a late finisher who closed the distance.
I think a lot of people have a problem with one Justice basically being the Hamburglar in a judge's robe, only instead of beef patties he absconds with cash and RV's, and a second Justice basically being your crazy conspiracy uncle three drinks in at Thanksgiving. But good luck getting Congressional Democrats to do anything meaningful about it. Like I also said on the blog, if the Dem leadership had been on the Titanic they would have busied themselves rearranging the deck chairs.
Ah, but wait til you hear our CUNNING DEMOCRAT PLAN, which is to wait until they all die peacefully at home in bed of natural causes. Because revenge is a dish best served 20 years too late.
You know, at this point I'd be happy to hear they have even a Baldrick-level plan. Unfortunately, I think the "plan" is a gentle scolding about adopting a Code of Conduct. After all, if we're too mean to them won't that encourage them to be mean to us? Oh, wait...
A half-remembered line from some movie comedy, government ministers are sitting around a big table discussing some madman's threats to destroy the world:
"This madman will stop at nothing!"
"Um... so if we do nothing, perhaps he will stop at it?"
May have been a movie, may have been secret video captured inside the DNC, I can't remember.
Please don't tell me Gini actually wore that dress in real time. I don't like to fat shame, being somewhat corpulent myself, but honey, that dress is not for your figure.
That excuse was such bullshit. Aside from throwing his wife under the bus, it's an insane rationale. It's schoolyard stuff. "Oh, my neighbor doesn't take his garbage can back from the curb in a timely fashion, so I'm going to blow my leaves on his lawn."
And these assholes are the final word on the most important issues of the day, affecting 300 million people domestically and even more abroad.
One that's been up in my neighborhood for the past 8 years is cartoon Baby Trump in a diaper, it says "Not Voting is the Cause of Unwanted Presidencies." Liberals can be so uncivil.
Great! Needs more Kegs Kavanaugh giggling then running away from angry female neighbors. And Gorsuch jumping up and down with excitement until the ladder falls back. Can’t let any of the Court’s assholes off the hook just because Alito and Thomas are so over the top.
It occurred to me to wonder if Clarence and Ginni have any children. A grateful human race discovers the answer is no. However, they're just the sort of plug-uglies whose offspring would emerge as a Lisa Bonet-like beauty...who would (alas) grow up to be the She-Wolf of Bergen-Belsen. So let's me just drop this whole topic.
Why did it take 3 1/2 years for us to find out about this?
I've fretted unduly about this since last week. Maybe 'cause I'm old and retired and...what now?
I’m going to keep asking this question until I get an answer.
Why did it take three years after J6 to prosecute Trump, and why will it be more than four years since J6 before he sees a trial? Why is Steve Bannon still NOT in jail, despite losing his appeal on his conviction for contempt of Congress? Oh, I have SO MANY questions.
Because we officially live in The Stupidest Timeline.
Don’t stop asking them.
Well, talk to my wife, because she has placed some VERY strict limits on the asking of these particular questions, especially at dinner time.
Eat. Then help load the dishwasher. Then ask the questions.
Obviously I have no idea, but the scuttlebutt seems to be the Alitos are vindictive assholes (surprise, surprise) and in the heated atmosphere following J6 the neighbors didn't want to go public.
Yes, I read that the neighbors were worried about potential "reprisals."
Having an asshole neighbor is bad enough. Having an asshole neighbor who is one of the most powerful men in the country...well. Makes me wonder if the neighbor who went public with the photo didn't wait until they were planning to move anyway before doing so.
This is when you, er, entice Krugerrand Paul's neighbor to stay in your Air BnB.
I think the "heated atmosphere" is mostly the Alito's delusional paranoid fantasies.
Nextdoor, you had ONE job...
They were busy warning each other about the ANTIFA Supersoldier roaming the neighborhood (actually an overfed opossum).
The whole neighborhood was sent into a panic on rumors of an approaching candlelight vigil.
Not ME (fucking darkness!)
Is this a true story? It seems like a true story. I can't stand a bunch of judgy fucks. I know it's their job description but whatever.
I like the sound of this ,- " cocks a snook and her..."
But I don't understand what it means. That's okay. It happens more and more lately. Wait until the pot shops open.
"and"="at"
Steve, if you're listening, help me out...
By the transitive property of... uh... I got nothin'.
"By the transitive property of..."
Greyskull
Does that help at all?
No, but hearted anyway.
By the transitive property of Grabthar's Hammer, of course.
Grabthar's Transit Authority would be the subway of choice for the Mole People.
"Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?"
I read this as "cocks a snoot at", i.e., raised their nose, as the gentry will.
But this isn't an Originalist reading.
And yea, verily, they are as gods; and would have no power if enough stopped believing in them.
Such an old-fashioned phrase. I believe the modern form is "Cocks a Glock."
I thought that was" Cocks own Glocks"
When they succeed in banning Dr. Seuss* this will be the replacement for Hop on Pop.
*except the racist ones
or Glocks a Snoot at
cooks a snot
I assumed it was a snooker reference and she was about to hurl a pool cue like a javelin.
Ah, yeah. Or cricket, and the bat was about to meet a snoot at extreme velocity.
'Is this a true story?'
I was thinking that roy needs to recalibrate his hyperbole settings. this tale does tip a little too much toward the believable end of the speculum...er, spectrum, yeah, spectrum.

May have been a movie, may have been secret video captured inside the DNC, I can't remember.
Paraphrasing the Simpsons: “The lesson is: Never try.”
Republicans aim to believe six impossible things before breakfast, DNC operatives aim to believe six things are impossible before breakfast.
"Sir! I've found ten more things are impossible!"
"Very good, Wilson, I will add this to your quarterly employee-evaluation report."
I honestly think out of the human organism stress response of "fight, flight, or freeze" the DNC always opts for freeze.
"Crazy Uncle Liberty", as driftglass puts it.
Lettin' they freak flag fly!
"we’re gonna ban interracial everything"
is the preamble we've all known it to be.
with one notable exception...
Well, sure – business is business.
"How do you like that, you stupid whore!
WOMAN’S VOICE: Eat shit!
I find this exchange hilarious.
It’s like they wrote their own vows.
Positively Shakespearean, deserves to be rendered in Iambic Motherfucking Pentameter.
When the missus impugned me via wordings Shakespearean
I hoisted my self up and replied 'Kiss My Rearean!'
"Zounds, and Odds Bodkins" she cried, "You can't trump us!"
As she let out a yell at the sight of me rumpus
Please don't tell me Gini actually wore that dress in real time. I don't like to fat shame, being somewhat corpulent myself, but honey, that dress is not for your figure.
Scares me that it's sold out. I'm imagining hordes of MAGAttes wearing that with red Trump hats.
Also that fucking $2000 track suit. Sweet screaming Jesus. 😧
Makes that $2300 Naugahyde doll look like a bargain, huh?
How many poor Naugas gave their life for that?.
Naugas happily shed their skins to upholster America's rec rooms.
Down, Holster! Down!
Tee hee. That was a great ad campaign.
Major LOL!
Mrs. Alito was personally offended by the neighbor's sign? Well, allow me to quote some official Trump campaign signs:
"FUCK YOUR FEELINGS"
Does that make it better? Or are you all the easily triggered snowflakes you constantly accuse others of being?
That excuse was such bullshit. Aside from throwing his wife under the bus, it's an insane rationale. It's schoolyard stuff. "Oh, my neighbor doesn't take his garbage can back from the curb in a timely fashion, so I'm going to blow my leaves on his lawn."
And these assholes are the final word on the most important issues of the day, affecting 300 million people domestically and even more abroad.
What did the offending sign say?
One that's been up in my neighborhood for the past 8 years is cartoon Baby Trump in a diaper, it says "Not Voting is the Cause of Unwanted Presidencies." Liberals can be so uncivil.
"Fuvk Trump "
Wait here, I'll go get my pearls and fainting-couch.
Deep Breaths.
Deep State.
Assuming such sign ever existed.
Great! Needs more Kegs Kavanaugh giggling then running away from angry female neighbors. And Gorsuch jumping up and down with excitement until the ladder falls back. Can’t let any of the Court’s assholes off the hook just because Alito and Thomas are so over the top.
Animal House of Justice with John Roberts as Dean Wormer.
can't they all end up fragged ala nedemeyer?
When I was a lad I served the fools
As dope-drop pusher at the finest schools
I doped the girlies and yanked down their drawers
And got them labeled all as skeevy whores
I forced alla them into beggary
And now I am the Master of the Keggery
Oh Mr. Droso, you certainly do put the "slap" in "slapstick"!
SAMUEL (brandishing fist): To the moon, Martha-Ann. Bang-ZOOM!
Oh, I wish there were only three stooges, because six is a majority.
If we add Shemp and Joe Besser we still only get to five.
Ted Healy makes six. I assume he's the Chief Justice.
"Ooooh, I'll give that nasty Jack Smith SUCH a PINCH!"
It occurred to me to wonder if Clarence and Ginni have any children. A grateful human race discovers the answer is no. However, they're just the sort of plug-uglies whose offspring would emerge as a Lisa Bonet-like beauty...who would (alas) grow up to be the She-Wolf of Bergen-Belsen. So let's me just drop this whole topic.
Yeah, that one was doomed from the upstart.
Thomas has one child, a 50-year old son, from his first marriage. None with Ginni, who was ~30 when they married
> […]you’ll get an ass full of rock salt like those goddamn trick or treaters!
I'm all for empathy, but I think you're making her a _tad_ too sympathetic.
Haven't you heard? We're now drawing the line at puppy-shooting, which means anything less is now retroactively OK.
You spelt "not enough" incorrectly.
Brilliant: “SAMUEL: D’oh!”
Unlike Homer, though, Alito wouldn't join clown college, because it'd be redundant.
"Ha ha, clown-college-boy, I learned my clowning in the clown college of LIFE."
Sorry to get hung up on a tiny detail, but holy shit, $1900 for a track suit?
Look at the prices of those gowns--$4,000 to over $6,000 bucks. Holy shit, indeed.
