Testing--- (403 Forbidden) nt

I understand that the time for it has not yet arrived, but oh, how great would it be

to see Trump himself subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury.

And, then, to see Bannon subpoenaed to testify against Trump!

My understanding is that failure to honor a grand jury subpoena could mean incarceration for contempt for the length of the grand jury's term, which I believe is 18 months.
Orange has always been Trump's color, so-----------

Kudos to Attorney General Garland for today's indictment of Bannon. I believe that each of

the two counts of Criminal Contempt carry a penalty of 1 to 12 months in jail and a fine between $100 and $100,000.

Hopefully, this will be the first of several prosecutions of tfg's thugs.

Can anyone offer a step-by-step way to uninstall or get rid of the "octopus" known as

Mediavine"?

We apparently unknowingly got it on our tablet by applying for a "magic link" necessary to order from an online seller. Now we get blaring unwanted audiovisual ads invading our screen.

HELP!

Not sure of this but, a lot of people are saying that "Judge" Schroeder got his law degree EITHER

from Trump University OR by "Drawing Bambi" and sending $19.95 to the address on the matchbook.

Does anyone know if these rumors are true?

Does it matter?

With regard to climate, voting rights and Bannon's defiance of the House subpoena, we know what

needs to be done.

We just need leaders with the ovaries to do it.

Senator Hawley lecturing us about masculinity is sorta like---

---Stormy praising chastity,

---Matt Gaetz espousing humility,

---Paul Gosar speaking about civility,

---Marjorie Taylor Greene insisting on sanity, or

---the former guy bragging about his respect for women.

In the twenty third moon of the "Great Trum Plague", the people had---alas!---been riven by a virus

even more deadly than that which laid low so many mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters---even little ones. And, that most deadly virus was called by the name "ignorance".

In ways not foreseen or even imagined, ignorance had so infected the minds of the Trum People that absurdities vomited out by their fellows were taken as Sacred Truths. Any who denied these Sacred Truths were considered disgusting "Unmurikans" and virtually any form of attack on them was not just justified, it was encouraged.

And, lo, it came to pass---even as the Bidenites were suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous pundits---that, in a small town never before spoken of, one the Trum People certainly thought an Unmurikan peasant raised his head, squared his shoulders, stiffened his spine and spake "Say to me no longer that we must abide ignorance in silence lest we anger the Trum People! Let THEM abide our decency and honesty or be driven out into the wilderness called "Shittow Taluc"!

And, as was their nature, as soon as the Trum People recovered from their shock that one so "ordinary" had dared speak thus so brazenly, they began to threaten the defier with all manner of harms and indignities and smirked as they waited for him to flee in panic.

But, their was no panic; no flight. Instead, they saw a determined man meeting their gaze with a squinty glare, rolling up his sleeves and saying, through clenched teeth, "Maketh my day!"

Yellowed puddles formed at the feet of most of the Trum People before the first whimper was heard---"Just remembered---- gotta be some place soon!" and as that whimperer turned to leave, the Trum People mob fled in a stampede so thunderous that their cowardly excuses could not be heard.

And, decency and honesty again ruled the multitudes while, lo and behold, the curing of ignorance soon also cured the Trum Plague!
