You haven't spent much time south of the Mason/Dixon line lately.

Any statue of Pujols would have to include the Weather Channel logo

This should have been the biggest political news of the day..... It's not surprising, however...

Another conspiracy site gets dinged big time

And the folks who currently have beachfront property will be under water. Just like Trump likely is financially

I've never voted GOP for President. I liked John Anderson in 1980, but didn't vote since we were in the process of moving and absentee ballot was a bit too difficult then. I did vote for Snyder both times he ran for governor. TBH I wasn't familiar with Bernero. In 2014 what I saw of Schauer did not impress me at all. He was also a major jerk in the negotiations leading up to the debate (they had at Wayne State (and immediately afterward) that I couldn't even bring myself to consider him a serious candidate.

And was hit in the head a bit too often

She probably made more money finishing second than the guy who won it that year. Has anyone heard from What's His Face recently?

The fact that he's pulling all those strings while in the depths of senility is absolutely amazing.

Even if there was film of him shooting people on Times Square on New Years Eve there is a significant group that would say there's not enough evidence to charge him

JVL this morning https://www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-is-a-convicted-felon-but-the?utm_source=substack&publication_id=87281&post_id=145162353&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&utm_campaign=email-share&triggerShare=true&isFreemail=false&r=45wcm&triedRedirect=true

Sometime between the election and Day One if he is elected

James Madison is rolling in his grave

Currently on my nightstand. The Demon of Unrest by Eric Lawson. I'm still in the early portion of the book (just after the 1860 Presidential Election) but this is as good as Devil in the White City and In the Garden of Beasts. The time between the election and the shelling of Fort Sumpter. From the forward. "I was well into my research on the saga of Fort Sumter and the advent of the American Civil War when the events of January 6, 2021 took place. As I watched the Capitol assault unfold on camera, I had the Erie feeling that present and past had merged. It is unsettling that in 1861 two of the greatest moments of national dread centered on the certification of the Electoral College vote and the presidential inauguration"

And he basically dared them to.

My two takeaways this morning. 1) Much like Nixon and Watergate, it was the coverup that sunk Trump. 2) If he would have kept it in his pants (several times), he wouldn't be facing these issues. Nothing about the deep state plays into this...

I will say the Sphere is a cool venue. Would have loved to see the Dead show there as opposed to the IMAX production.

True, it ain't going to happen. A podcast I occasionally listen two from a historical perspective floated this scenario several months ago. I agree Trump would never agree.

I think that is less likely than Biden pardoning Trump then declines to run himself

His fixer, Michael Cohen received 3 years under Trump's Justice Dept for virtually the same crime. Throw in multiple counts of contempt. He needs to go home to Father Vlad
