I could totally see him fleeing to Russia if he knew he'd get convicted and wasn't reelected. Or wait... Does Saudi Arabia extradite...? Ofc I'm still in the "I'll believe it when I see it camp" as far as a conviction is concerned.

What they forbid (for the common folk) and what they do are very different things. I bet a ton of them have paid for abortions...

It's not always an either/ or situation. Idk, but I can't take someone who claims TFG is unfit for office and horrible etc, but also that he would vote for him, should he be the candidate. The beauty is that these 2 are highly regarded in right-wing circles and originalists. No. Particularly Ivanka (& Jared). Then again, I also deeply miss Lindsey Graham's name in that otherwise sweet indictment. Btw, I tried to access the new Giuliani grifter page but couldn't. I heard about this a couple of months ago... I was actually going to ask our resident lawyer if the Gergia GOP could sack Fani W... I guess that's answered now.

Donald Trump responded to his latest round of criminal charges by going on Truth Social Tuesday morning to announce an upcoming “major News Conference” at which he would present “A Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT on the Presidential Election Fraud which took place in Georgia.” This is it, guys—this report will make all those pesky Georgia charges go away: “Based on the results of this CONCLUSIVE Report, all charges should be dropped against me & others — There will be a complete EXONERATION!” https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2023/8/15/2187379/-Trump-will-present-CONCLUSIVE-report-exonerating-himself-he-announces

Anyone up for a TFG reaction Bingo card? Witch hunt racism Fani bad (& racist) perfect phone call election interference leading in the polls crooked Biden Hunter Biden threats against prosecutors, witnesses etc Hmmm, did I miss anything? How about this as a thread title: I'm so indicted and I just can't hide it! I'm about to ...

Idk, this serial turncoat's testimony is worthless to me...

I enjoyed the first two seasons of The Other Two as a fun little satire on showbusiness. Couldn't really get into the third season because it leant too much into the ott/ farcfical side of things. With next to none new offerings - seriously, what is OFMD taking so long? It's not a US show! - I checked out more (mostly British) mystery shows. A new-ish one, Karen Pirie, I'd recommend as solid Val McDermid fare with relatable leads. One season so far, with 3 episodes. No Offence - I might not have been convinced after the first episode, but it starred Elaine Cassidy from Fingersmith (the original Handmaid), so I gave it a chance and it became really quite addictive. Two seasons of a wild ride, with humor and snark. Can't seem to quite get into the third and final one... seems a bit rushed and different. (Will third seasons now become a thing for me as opposed to second seasons?!) A Touch Of Cloth - sounded like a fun satirical/ spoofy mystery show on paper. To my delight, it starred one of my favorite actresses, Suranne Jones, and John Hannah. Oh boy. I thought I'd watch Suranne in anything, but it was so silly I quit after 15 or 20 minutes. Tried Annika. Marine murders. Pleasant enough but not a very interesting case. I suspect that the detective's personal life will probably take up a lot more space than I'd like. I'll give it a pass. Also, I might be the only person in the world who doesn't love The Brokenwood Mysteries. I will probably never know who killed that old farmer as I stopped mid-first episode. It might just be because I don't like the lead, or the brand of Country music playing a lot of the time.

Very happy to have Only Murders In The Building back. Meryl Streep is great - not a surprise, but she also fits in nicely. I've learned in season 2 to just enjoy the comedy, the actors and the vibe, although it would be nice to also get a decent little mystery. More Uma please!

Will we get a mug shot this time?

I mean, I didn't hate it. Overall, that's the best I can say. The Klingon scene, however, was hilarious.

Well, I hope not. That was no Once More With Feeling. Mildly entertaining, sure.

Two episodes of the new Only Murders In The Building season will drop on August 8. And their new guest star seems a slight upgrade to Amy Schumer ;-)

"561 years in prison" - oh Donald, you little tease!

The judge appears to be an Obama nominee... not a loose Cannon who would kick the can down the road I'm guessing! https://talkingpointsmemo.com/live-blog/special-counsel-jack-smith-to-hold-press-conference-soon?entry=1464855 Trump Draws Tanya Chutkan In Election Case U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan for the District of Columbia, an Obama appointee, was selected to oversee the Trump case. Chutkan has served since 2014.

Hmmm... Rudy's lawyer said he doesn't expect Rudy to be indicted. Pity, but also smells a lot like Giuliani flipping...

Because he's a fine Democrat who votes for almost every bill he hasn't nipped in the bud, after reducing it to like 10 percent of what it was meant to be... or something.

They've made their bed - of a rabid base - and now have to lie in it. With them You know what I mean. I'm loving it. Oh, and Happy Birthday to @Jaxom 1974, how rude of me to forget it.

Dang, I wanted to break that!

Apparently it hasn't been decided yet. https://www.salon.com/2023/06/27/delaware-tees-up-bill-to-allow-corporations-to-vote_partner/ The Delaware House has teed up a vote on a bill that would give businesses a vote in the town of Seaford, Delaware — a proposal with frightening implications for elections in a time when lawmakers are increasingly targeting voting rights. The bill allows Seaford — a town of roughly 8,500 people — to amend its charter to allow non-resident business owners to cast a vote in local elections, meaning that corporate entities and businesses would enjoy the same voting rights as actual citizens in the town. Rather than the democratic principle of "one person, one vote," the bill codifies the principle of "one person/entity/one vote," as the bill text reads. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/seaford-delaware-corporate-voting-llc-trust-elections/ The state of Delaware is famously business-friendly. With more than 1.8 million entities registered in the First State, companies outnumber its human residents by nearly two-to-one. ... Seaford, a town of about 8,000 on the Nanticoke River, amended its charter in April to allow businesses — including LLCs, corporations, trusts or partnerships — the right to vote in local elections. The law would go into effect once both houses of Delaware's state legislature approve it.

I may have gotten it wrong, but I thought it's already happening, somewhere in Delaware? I don't remember the legal grounds though.

How much will demographics matter once corporations get voting rights?

In search of a decent comedy, I settled on The Other Two. Not bad. Also, nice to see "Uma" from OMITB in one ep.

I've been very pleased with Silo. And the season finale made sure to answer the biggest or at least most urgent question, while opening up many more. Well done!

So... not at all? And yes, the current partyline is "But his sock drawers."
