Off topic here, but brought over from the podcast, a thanks to Tim Miller for raising the NIMBY housing issue which is preventing accommodations for 3K students in Berkeley. For the record, State Senator Scott Wiener has been fighting FOR housing for years, and butting his head up against the "I've got mine, you can take a hike" NIMBYs statewide. And yes, you can see 30 million dollar mansions in SF Sea Crest neighborhood with Black Lives Matters posters -- but let no black person walk that area late at night without being prepared for a stop.
Any chance Putin escalating to give cover for TFG? With 1/6 filing on Eastman, Ukraine situation focus, not Trump (although I do hope one of the alphabets is monitoring Trump).
I would like to believe that Merrick Garland's Justice Department was investigating and considering possible charges against Trump, but if that were the case, it's hard to believe that we wouldn't have caught at least a whiff of it by now. If it happens, even if it takes the Committee's evidence to finally get the ball rolling, you can color me pleasantly surprised. But I'm not betting money on it: I only bet on sure things.
Just got off the phone with friends from Munich. The German people are very afraid of the invasion of Ukraine because they think it will spread. They hate Putin. They do like Biden, although some think he is a weak. They hate Trump and think is a fool, especially for cozying up to Putin who is a viper.
Fun Fact: More Russians are protesting Putin's bullshit invasion of Ukraine just a few days into the war as compared to the very few Americans who protested Bush's invasion of Iraq even months after it was determined that no WMDs existed and the civilian body count was in the tens of thousands.
Talk about decadence, even the anti-war left basically went back to doing drugs and fucking each other in college maybe 6 months after the Iraq invasion, how long do you figure it'll take America to forget about Putin's war in Ukraine? I'm keeping the stop-watch going and then comparing to the Iraq invasion timeframe. I figure America will forget about Ukraine sooner than it forgot about its own wars. Good times, weak men, hard times, strong men, etc., etc.
So, can the committee send the DOJ the referral or is it the entire house? Garland certainly will be under pressure but the time to act is short. Ad to that the grand Jury time . Much as I'd love to see it, I don't tend to think Trump will be indicted. Time will run out in November.
Yesterday, I watched one of the Pod Save America bros eloquently talk about the grief of suffering a miscarriage and how men should be more vulnerable talking about this topic, followed by Ben Shapiro spewing this vile crap - and I thought to myself, "are all the men in Conservative, Inc. just emotionally stunted?"
Eesh. That Shapiro quote is just badly constructed. I never thought I'd miss the bloviating, disgusting prose of Rush freaking Limbaugh, however slightly. 🤢
Can we just create a position, President of the West, and elect Gary Kasparov to it? Maybe his successor could be Magnus Carlson.
I'm thinking it's going to take Putin firing a nuke off to get any military response from the West, because honestly I think the only thing preventing such a response right now is that Putin has the threat of using nukes.
And that is encouraging news from the 1/6 Committee. This needs to get done fast, though, before the next Congress, and if all they have time to get done is handing off very incriminating evidence to DOJ, Garland needs to do something with it. Too many examples in recent history of appalling behavior going unpunished and despicable villains becoming emboldened.
Kuddos to the one kid I saw in the background(there may have been more, I couldn't see) that kept their mask on after getting berated by that asshat...

Charlie, I loved your podcast yesterday with Michael Steele, however, you all were like, "Why not nuclear power? There's no downsides...." Yeah except, where do we store all the nuclear waste? I just needed to point this out. https://www.conserve-energy-future.com/dangers-and-effects-of-nuclear-waste-disposal.php
Could the Bulwark obtain a copy of the Court Filing for subscribers to read? or a link to it?

Garland better move fast or the GOP will smother it in the cradle when they get back in power.

Johnson is so awful that anyone to the right of Abbie Hoffman should win easily. The fact that it's in doubt tells you quite a bit about WI.
Hey Ben Shapiro,
Dennis Miller called and he wants his shtick back.
