Hypothetical?

How will you celebrate when N.Y.’s A.G., Tish James case goes to fruition and not
only does Trump’s businesses have to pay more than 1/4 of a billion $s in penalties
but she shuts down all of Trump’s businesses in the state and they have to remove the
name Trump from the Trump Tower in Manhattan. That video to me will be like seeing
Margot Robbie in “The Wolf of Wall Street” walking out the door.

I will be having some linguini with white clam sauce, garlic bread, some fruit, and a nice
glass of Riesling ….. Frisk not fancy but I like it.

Btw sorry to post so much but I am still spending time in a nursing home as I get better
from my surgery/illness… out with in weeks … and DU and my new iPad have helped me get
over some tough times.

Is it just me but are the Iowa Caucuses just straight up stupid ?

They seem like a throwback to a theater production of good old fashioned down
home country style dance at the feed mill where Jimmy bids the most for Betty
May’s peach apple pie so he can the first dance with her.

Or I might be wrong.


Btw we really need to redo the whole Presidential and other elections crap.
6 months soup to nuts for Presidential elections and 4 months for the others.
This non stop campaigning is prime time stupid. I can never see some news
person with a $2,700.00 coat and sporting a $450.00 cut and color by that
dog ass waterfall in Burlington for the rest of my life and be real good with that.

And we can dump the electoral college too.

And make it illegal for Fox News to keep poisoning America via disinformation
as they call themselves “news” too.

Btw getting rid of electronic voting is also needed.

My therapy for the day.... It is getting better... but slowly ..... for those who care

Watched my son play in his basketball league…. Akron J.C.C…. Good players but the bed sore on my
butt had me get off the folding chair and go find a sofa.


Tried to use the gym but I have lost so much strength since my illness I couldn’t even bench
45 lbs … I used to do more… I have a long way to go …. But I walked about 1/4 mile on my
own.

I went to his house and cooked some breakfast and did the dishes. Even doing the dishes was
enjoyable. The nursing home where I am at now serves powdered or freeze dried eggs and
fruit in heavy syrup. along with other crap. Omelets with cheese, onions, some spices,
toast, and coffee was treat! My daughter in law (pro cook and baker) had some left over scones
and some fruit around too.

Got lots lab licks from my dog. And some grandkid time. I made play-doh cakes with
the older one and held the younger as we looked @ some picture books. Nice.

I took a real shower. Damn it felt good.

I had to go back to the nursing home but we are working on my discharge before the end of
the month.

Stairs are still a problem but they are getting better slowly.

Sorry to

********

Everybody say it with me. Those were not payments to Trump but bribes and the Steele Dossier
was right! Rinse lather and repeat. Fuck Fox and the GOP because the truth is toxic to them.

Those opposed to the use of the 14th Amendment Article? in keeping Trump off the ballot can't or

will not read. It is right there and plain as day if you violated your oath to support the Constitution and
took part in an intersection against America you can’t hold elected office. Trump, “Be there it will
be wild” or to the attorney for Georgia’s Sec. of State, “You should hold off on certifying the vote because
big things will be happening on Jan. 6th.” (rough quote)

Oh well I never thought I would see the SCOTUS rule that it was OK to not count the legal votes of
the American People.

Those were not payments to Trump those were BRIBES

The Steele Dossier was right in 2016 in that Trump was on the hook for millions to foreign governments.

January 4, 2024

The the Steele dossier was right in 2016. Trump was millions of dollars in debt to foreign governments

So far nothing in that document has been disproven. The pee pee stuff has has some solid
backing (Trump went to a Vegas nightclub in early 2013 with Russians that had water sports
Shows) but the important part was that he was in debt to China, Saudi Arabia, and Russia for
millions. And this was known prior to the 2016 election but all we heard about was HRC’s emails.

Lock him up. Btw I am sure Fox will cover this big time.

I have seen this seen this show before but now it starred Dr. Gay instead of Al Franken.

I don’t know all the particulars but President Gay’s forced departure smells of a
right wing “hit job” who see the out come as a victory for their side. One which
was “won” by their use of money, media footprint, and lying to targeted groups
of Americans.

I might be wrong but I don’t think so.
