Nora Dunn in a blonde wig and a wide hat singing "Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen" has to be seen to be believed. It was a high point.

Psst... Dominic. Update your blurb. It ain't summer no more. Are you know the late fall intern?

Me too. Maybe that won't happen, but I'd say the odds and the omens, including the goose-liver readings I had done last week, all indicate he will be spectacularly bad. Although if he goes via impeachment in the first year, Mike Pence will replace him, and that is a thought I find chilling. I become more and more convinced that Trump has no real interest in being president, just in ransacking the office for all the dollar advantage he can get for himself and his cronies. (He'll be worse that way than the Clintons would have been, and please, no snarky responses of "What gave you your first clue, Sherlock?") But Mike Pence has a political program in mind, and he is on record as saying that his inspiration as vice president is Cheney. Now that IS a thought to make the blood run cold.

I actually thought he might not be so bad, but after his cabinet picks, I knew he was going to be awful. I also thought he was kind of pretending to be an idiot to attract the votes of Republicans, but after his cabinet picks, I think he's an actual idiot. I keep telling myself "maybe this won't end as badly as I think" then I remind myself I said the same thing about Bush.

Hoping that "boys and girls buggering each other senseless in endless combinations, punctuated with occasional skullduggery and court intrigue" doesn't give too much away.

Very very nice. It becomes astonishing in a sort of nonchalant way. Would like to hear a more Historically Informed performance.I miss the CD era, when more interesting stuff was recorded than you could ever hope to listen to. Now it's all on yootoob, but I don't find that really appealing somehow.

THANK YOU. I'm so fucking sick of that shit. It's disappointing to see it here, even as a joke.

Wouldn't matter if it were 15 minutes ago. Their response would be, "democratic underground? Liberal facts, so LIES."

News that there might be problems protecting Trump is the best news I've heard yet. (Okay, with votes, blah, blah, blah.)

Are private citizens working under the direction and control of the Executive Branch of Government, a/k/a Trump's private security force, legally allowed to ignore the Constitutional rights of Americans and/or Constitutional restrictions on Government action?

Three guesses.

They'll never have the style of the Nazis. Camo, tacky hats and ill-fitting cheap suits. The Nazis would sneer at their lazy asses.

There's no allegedly about it. It's been confirmed - the guy has no interest in security briefings. He's said it himself.
