"How can one be “successfully suing” Bob Woodward, when the lawsuit has not actually yet been, ahem, successful? Hate to be precise about language here, but inquiring minds and all that."

It's like the FBI looking into boof kegstand's rape history. It's all smoke and mirrors so its reported on and people think it happens but in reality it doesn't. PAB is a fake strongman who wants to be seen doing things and not actually doing things. He has a concept of successfully suing.

Or you know he got one of his many bad bad lawyers to actually look at how to file.

Trump stole classified documents and stacked the boxes in his bathroom. Trump denied the results of the 2020 election before the results were even final. He incited a violent mob to attack the United States Capitol and sat on his hands while it played out and his VP was threatened and hunted. Capitol police were beaten and some died. At least one rioter was shot.

If Trump is elected again, all of his crimes will go unpunished. He will pardon himself and abuse his power in ways America hasn’t seen before. He will order Congress to suspend any aide to Ukraine, and signal that Russia is free to take as much of Ukraine or Poland or any other nation it wants. Trump is 78 years old, and simply wants to live out his last years surrounded by loyalists, exacting revenge on perceived enemies and free of any accountability whatsoever.

In a month we find out if America has learned anything from Trump’s disastrous term, J6 and its aftermath.

Does Biden know he can unpick Merrick Garland as attorney general? Or have indicated displeasure for failure to hold insurrectionists accountable without naming names? I'm sure FDR told Hoover to get busy with the gangsters in the 1930s without specifying names. I hope Harris removes him her first week in office. I bet Truman and Eisenhower both told the FBI to investigate possible Russian spies. Demanding the AG work diligently on investigating leaders of an insurrection is not being partisan. It's demanding accountability for a serious attack on our system of government.

But for 18 months after his appointment not only did Garland not investigate leadership in the insurrection, some newspaper reports show he actively obstructed efforts by other top DOJ officials wanting to investigate insurrection leadership.

Ta, Evan. None of this surprises me in the least.

“…Russians and Republicans are literally fine with it if even their own supporters in hurricane zones die from misinformation AKA lies, as long as it hurts Democrats. That’s the October surprise.”

Surprised, anyone? Show of hands…

My wife has a high co-morbidity Factor and was very sick at the beginning of lockdown.

It was impossible to get to a doctor or more specifically to get a test.

I lived in terror that I was going to lose her and we wouldn't even know if it was covid.

That in 2020 the orange POS sent the COVID test my family desperately Needed to.... Vladimir Putin?

Sir! Sir!! MIT!!! Sir!!!!

"Kerry Emanuel, a meteorologist and professor emeritus at MIT, predicted less than a decade ago that hurricanes’ rapid intensification just before landfall was likely to become “increasingly frequent and severe as the globe warms,” and in the past few years, that prediction has borne out in additional modeling studies." -- The Atlantic

That pussy-assed bitch motherfucker annoys me.

I'd like to see the Quisling found guilty of high crimes under the Espionage Act, sentenced to die, and all his properties be escheat and inbrought for the nation's use. (Those who know anything about old Scots law may recognize what I echoed there.) While I'm wishing, should any penalty ever be applied to him, I hope he suffers the absolute maximum amounts of terror and agony that the Constitution allows. This is supposedly a nation of laws, after all.

Supposedly.

>> “I’m the only person around who knows how to properly pronounce the word motherfucker.” <<

True fact, but while Harris was still the SanFran DA, she got introduced to Samuel L. Jackson who, astonished at her horrible pronunciation of motherfucker, offered to give her lessons. The two spent three weeks in a cabin in the Sierra Nevadas focussed on Harris' cussy emphasis and diction before the actor pronounced her qualified.

Fortunately for Jackson's career, during downtime from her elocution lessons Harris taught the movie star how to hunt snakes -- education which Jackson credited for saving his career when he later made Snakes On A Plane.

Emasculating Linda before another despot with his own masculinity issues is why Trump runs for president in the first place, to play humiliation puppet theater with real people. He only gets away with it because the Republicans have always been chicken shits when it comes to truly standing up to bullies.

You gotta think Lindsey shit his drawers when PAB said that from the comfort of being thousands of miles away from a murderous autocrat.

Ha ha Lindsey, this is what you get for consorting with Orange Caligula - obviously you have learned nothing.

Nixon was a paragon of integrity compared to Trump. Bob Woodward should stick with investigative reporting and leave the deductive analysis to us.

Man, if only this asshole wasn't immune from ANY prosecution.

He could literally shoot someone and not get punished. Sickening.

I always heard and used it as No shit Sherlock. Dude could be some modern twist, but Sherlock does add the bit of derision that the person making the deduction is not an actual Sherlock.

It's shame Sir's chubby can't reach Putin's back. And only because there's no way the Little Man can get out from under the shadow of full-belly Mr. Tummins.
