Old, crabby, and blessed. A tad snarky, truth be told. Does not suffer fools gladly.


Responding to a comment about how Fox hasn't reported this.

Fox inhabits a separate sphere. Their invented crisis is at the border.

"The invaders will destroy America!"

MSNBC's invented crisis is that the judicial processes take too long.

"The 'delays'* will destroy democracy!"

The problem is that the MSNBC's invented crisis is put forward by lawyers who should know better.

*"delays" is a loaded word that implies, without basis, that it's deliberate, evil, or incompetent.

Don't expect the panic-mongering showhorses to read this opinion and say, "Wow. The appellate court even had to deal with a jursidictional issue thrown at them. It was unanimous, which meant judges with different ideologies had to agree. It's 57 page and may be enough for SCOTUS to say, "We don't need to touch this."

They never look back. It's on to the next invented crises.

Fox also invents crises. Just saying.

Also you can see I've reached my disgust point with it all.

Apparently the Showhorses have kept their audiences in a state of constant panic because it took about a month for an appellate court to address an issue of first impression that SCOTUS will no doubt scrutinize.

Yes, democracy is backsliding. The cause is not how long it takes to write an appellate opinion. The meltdowns were pure theater.

Youth football coach, Shaquille Latimore, is in recovery after being shot four times this week in St. Louis by a parent upset over his son's playing time.

This is what the gun lobby “guns everywhere” agenda really looks like.

The Nation published a damning story about the depth of Harvard's ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

I have no doubt that almost all of it is true.

However, there's an egregious lapse in fact-checking that does an injustice to Stephen Jay Gould. In the story, Alan Dershowitz claims that Gould was a regular at Program for Evolutionary Dynamics events at One Brattle Square.

Gould died in 2002. Nowak came to Harvard and opened the One Brattle Square facility in 2003.

How Jeffrey Epstein Captivated Harvard

And how the university has yet to give a full accounting.

So #Trump’s interview with Tucker has already been recorded so it can be carefully edited? Do I have that right?

What a typically cowardly move.

Spot on. Via @emptywheel

In advance of potential indictment, consider likelihood that it will substantiate that #Trump, at the very least, sicced a mob he knew to be armed on his own VP, VP's spouse, and daughter. An indictment may make even stronger allegations.

And the MAGAt base won't care.

As soon as tomorrow, the GOP primary could be shaded by a criminal allegation that one of the contestants almost got another one killed to stay in office.

The MAGAt base won't care. #TrumpIndictment

Those were the good old days.
