Right -- the studio decided that an audience would never accept that charming Cary Grant would turn out to be a real murderer.

So apparently Pelosi and Schiff are breaking up hearing dates to re calibrate and test charges against Trump. Today they take votes in order to game TV coverage and delay ability of the GOP to cross examine. Since there is no underlying case it's all about setting new traps.

"The other day, I got a box of blueberries. And in the bottom of the box, instead of those big fat blueberries big as grapes that we can get, like, year-round, there were little ones, and squishy-moldy ones, and some of them still had stems! It was, like, the way gramma described berries back in her old moldy days. Sure, the store was willing to replace the box for me, and there weren't anything but big fat blueberries in that one, but what about my trauma, my terrorized feelings?"

It's because it would sound real stupid to say that about the President. Because the President's opinion of foreign policy, in the Constitutional model, is the only one that matters.
I think that the President had to personally deputize Giuliani to work around the State Department is probably illustrative of the same problem Obama tried to work around with un-confirmed "czars".
And our politics have brought us to unfireable civil servants and only who the Senate will give the President as officers standing in the way of the President exercising his authority.
To be truthful, people since the Kennedy administration have complained about the resistance of the State Department bureaucracy to push the President's agenda and not just their own. However, the President is vested with this power, and it's not up to him to tolerate resistance if he doesn't want to.
So he deputized Giuliani to contact Ukraine about a personal matter (even as Ukraine put it) and it's really not so much Giuliani steering foreign policy as much as it is the flat out seditious statement by "experts" in government to say that the President would be invalid to do so.

Of course Chrissie Wallace is going to say orangemanbad, he is his leftist father's son and even if he rejected that heritage, the Murdochs want orangemanbad to be the story line.
When the commentators in the evening on Fox come on, then you can digest the thoughts of the few supporters that Trump has in the media. Otherwise, why bother, the ordinary people of this country aren't apparently. Let the foolhardy or the terminally bored watch this stuff as it is as scripted as any "reality" show.

Its not simple to execute IF...IF you still have something binding you. Thats where the no fucks to give comes in. Other's expectations of you is one example of a major, major bind, and its a mental bind. Basically, if you meet your obligations you have done your part. Everything else is YOURS, and if anybody has a problem with that, then it's THEIR problem, not yours. Thats where the no fucks to give comes in, because not only do they want theirs, but they want yours too. I have seen many women wait on their men with hand and foot and its never enough, and I have seen many men work their fingers to the bone to provide, and its not enough. Fuckers always want more and more. The worst thing is to be shell shocked, and thats something you need to find inside yourself to overcome. I'm a stubborn fuck, if something don't work I just keep trying. The word quit isn't in my vocabulary, but I also recognize when something is 100% futile, and thats when I flip it the bird because I have no fucks to give. If any of this makes sense.

I hope I don't have to hear how Trump is guilty of the Perry thing in Texas, when he "intimidated" somebody by firing them, because they wouldn't "alter" their job, and it's "illegal" to intimidate a legal officer so that they alter their job--in the case of the lady in Texas, by not doing it anymore, she would be "altering her actions".
It was even more complicated, but it finally made it's way to the Court of Criminal Appeals (Texas Supreme Court for criminal charges) and they threw the whole thing out as Not a Crime at all.
And after that, fortunately, the Legislature finally took that power away from the city of Austin and Travis County, and said they had no more jurisdiction to investigate or charge any State official with anything ever again. That authority now belongs SOLELY to the Texas Rangers, who are under the control of the Governor.
That'll probably be abused in turn someday, but progs forced that by abusing their ability to indict so completely.

eccos are high end for sure. i was not basing them. I think Mephisto is another level and SAA is great not only because they are made in the USA. With Mephisto, you can send your shoes/sandals to them when they are worn out and they will resole them for a minimal price. They are basically forever if you are willing to pay for the re-sole.

Remove them from your mind a day at a time. First you go one day without thinking about them. Then two. Then a week. Then a month. Then a quarter. Then a year.

Well, sure. I offer in evidence Anthony Foxx, appointed Sec. of Transportation. Foxx had zero experience, aside from having been Mayor of Charlotte while a *private* company developed a Trolley system there.
However, he *did* raise $10 Million to finance the convention in Charlotte. He did that by arranging loans. Were the loans paid off? Well, no. The Convention committee defaulted on them.
Should have been a scandal, right? Nope. Smothered by the press, locally and nationally. Could have prompted a fraud investigation...by Loretta Lynch's DoJ, but no. Might have caused a local fraud investigation...by the Dem State AG, who was planning on running for Governor...ha, ha, ha.
Then, there is the story of how Anthony Foxx even became the mayor of Charlotte. Well, the previous Mayor (Patrick Cannon) was jailed, just after he was elected. Turns out the Feds (Loretta Lynch) knew he was going to be indicted well before the election, but remained mum. Why? Because if he was indicted before the election, A. the (R) candidate would almost surely win, and B. if he was removed from office, the (D) City Council gets to select the replacement, no election.
Bingo. Anthony Foxx.

Reason to believe that Horowitz report is almost out - complaint coming out today from a "small group" of people named in the report (Comey, Clapper, Brennan?) that Horowitz is being "unfair" by not allowing written rebuttals to his report in reply to the sections concerning these persons, but will only accept verbal feedback. Then Horowitz will decide whether or not to include their objections and/or respond to them. They are also not being allowed to make or retain any written notes of their viewing of the report as it is still classified "Top Secret" at this point.
What this means is that Horowitz now is definitely in the 10 business day comment period which takes place after the agencies have done their review. It also means that he is NOT allowing any of these targets to submit written answers from their legal staff, and he is NOT allowing them to make notes or records which they could use to make the report. Now we do not know exactly when that 10 business day period began, I think we're about in the middle of it. After that, Horowitz decides whether any of the targets responses are worth adding to the report, and if he should then rebut them (and since he has limited their objections to verbal objections only, these will be limited) and after that, it's released.

I thin kthey should be encouraged and nudged in the right direction, but not showered with respect or adulation. Michelle Malkin has a pretty good take on them:
Just a couple of days ago here on this very campus, former Fox News hostess Kimberly Guilfoyle sneered that young conservative men in MAGA hats asking inconvenient questions were rude losers who could only get dates online and who were embarrassing their parents. Another YAF speaker, Ben Shapiro, repeatedly denigrated an entire movement of young men who watch a YouTuber named Nick Fuentes and are seeking answers to tough questions about where America is headed as masturbating losers in their basements who share memes. As a mom with brilliant right-thinking kids who, yes, live in my basement, and, yes, share memes, I found these obsessive references to young people's dating lives and habits by prominent conservative media personalities much older than their targets to be tellingly defensive and touchy. Also: creepy.
Can these young people be confused, or unwise, inexperienced and uninformed sometimes? Sure. They need guidance and mentoring, help to do the job better. But they're also reaching a generation which I, or Tucker Carlson, or Ace do not, and cannot.

Some five years after Wife No. 2 left, I found out at a party that someone had heard from her: that her second husband had turned out to be abusive, and she was now "a welfare mother" in Maine to the kid she'd had with him. I walked around all evening with a big grin on my face.
As it happened, she came back into town three months later. I spent the night with her, twice, and on top of that got the money back that she'd embezzled from our checking account.
I could tell she wanted me to say out loud, "I forgive you." But I never did. Heh, heh, heh.

Ha! My MIL, God rest her soul, remembered every slight she had ever suffered, both real and imaginary, in her entire life. I know this because, one night while she was still living with us, she sat at our dining room table and recited them all, one after the other, starting with some that had happened half a century ago. She was a woman who forgot nothing and forgave nothing.
It was actually rather frightening to listen to.

What they're really pissed off at is the fact that Horowitz has the authority to completely ignore their objections, if he so chooses. And he's not letting them have any written copies of anything to leak until AFTER the full report has already been released.

the same NHL that cancelled their long time reporter? All the leagues are woke now, it is down to Bullriding and professional golf really. Some my laugh about the PGA Tour because they have no history with it, but there is no major sports league even comparable when it comes to party identification.
The woke leftist world will get to them all I guess. But I doubt it will happen to bullriding and I doubt it will happen to golf. The question is who do they need. What does golf need from the left? The most famous and most lauded professional golfer of all time is Jack Nicklaus. Nicklaus is an ardent Trump supporter and says so whenever asked.
When Nicklaus received the Medal of Freedom, Dems and Repubs gushed over him and wanted some of the spotlight. Nancy Pelosi game him as speech and treated him as hero. Same for Arnold Palmer.

Heh.
Yep.
After my divorce, I waited patiently for the ex to screw up, she did, took the kids and went on my merry way.
I was not above using the threat of child support to keep her off my back, either. Never had to ask or justify anything I did. The one time the ex did try to create an issue, I asked her if she wanted to see just how fast I could get child support off her. She backed down in a hurry.
After the kids were out of the house, I retrained into a different profession and have managed to do pretty well.
However, I freely admit I had a decade or so of suck along the way but, that's well behind me.
As you may have guessed, I'm not really 29.

There's a big reason cops *hate* to go to a family fight call. There was a local case a while back where a guy was beating on his girlfriend in the car, cops saw it, yanked him out, he started a fight with them, while they were rolling around on the ground girlfriend pulled a pistol out from under the seat and took a couple shots at the cops. Luckily she wasn't just stupid, she was also a real bad shot, so she missed. That was a real prize couple, there.

He wasn't just a conduit between FDR and Stalin (although that is absolutely how he got his big start) History that's been airbrushed out of Existence: In the 50's, Armand Hammer was the conduit between Kruschev and the Soviet's biggest supporter and agent inside the US Government, Al Gore Sr. The entire Gore fortune came from Soviet money funneled to him by Hammer.

Fuentes, from what I understand, is genuinely bad news - a sort of anti-Israel, "Soros is bad so the Joos are to blame for everything" sort of guy. I guess Kirk or someone else got him deplatformed.
I'm torn about that. One hand, I can understand why you want to distance yourself from an actual anti-Semite. On the other, deplatforming is what the left does. The conservative stance has always been that everyone, even shitty Joo haters, should be allowed to participate in the marketplace of ideas. Saying everyone but this scumbag Nazi gets to participate is really a bad idea, because according to the left we are all scumbag Nazis.
Deplatforming characters like Fuentes also allows his fellow Jew-haters to play the victim and proclaim that the Zionists are out to get them.
