jack, thanks again for starting our sundays off with class and classics and a sorta calming closure on the chaos of the days prior.
and then, i screw it all up by posting last night’s SNL cold open
Kate McKinnon interviews Rep. Greene (Cecily Strong), a GameStop investor (Pete Davidson), Jack Dorsey (Mikey Day), Mark Zuckerberg (Alex Moffat), O.J. Simpson (Kenan Thompson) and Tom Brady (John Krasinski) to discuss current events.
and then there’s this d’ump dumped story in the guardian:
apparently his entire legal team, all five lawyers, have quit
I keep looking for Bernie in every photo.
A normal and thinking person might think they have a serious problem if all their attorneys left them a week before a trial. And, those were the only ones in the country who even talked to you.
Since Donald lies constantly with impunity, he can’t quite grasp the concept that perjury by an attorney would cost them their license .
BB, there is one lawyer who still speaks to him, but he’s got his own problems that are in need of counsel right now according to law & crime:
[click here to read letter]
He figures if they lose their licenses, he’ll restore them all after the coronation. No biggie. That’s also when he plans to pay them.
will this last hullabaloo give def. drumpf an excuse for delaying the trial? bet his loyal goper senators argue that new lawyers for defense will need time to prepare. what will lil lindsey do now that the lawyers he recommended bailed?
what lindsey will do? this:
Jack… thanks for so much beauty!

Sturg… I hereby award you the best comment for the month of January…
Hah – will Dumbass try to serve as his own lawyer? Old saying- he who does so has a fool for a client. Sounds like his lawyers left because he wanted them to make an argument that would expose them to Rule 11 sanctions by their state bar associations for arguing (stolen election by widespread fraud) without a basis in fact or law or good faith argument for extension of current law. Litigation strategy differences? How about living in different realities?
Rudee? Rudee? Rudee? Is he the only lawyer still talking to him.
John Cornyn is a POS. He still supports tRUMPsky with and uses a ridiculous threat. If you have an impeachment trial for one of ours, what’s to stop us from going after a Dem prez after he leaves office? Answer: Nothing.
Just like there’s nothing to stop Repugz from doing just that if we don’t try tRUMPsky.
Just like Merrick Garland was blocked, but Amy Culty was not.
It’s never “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander” when dealing with Republicans, almost all of whom lack any moral integrity. Nope. In their world it’s “heads, we win; tails, you lose.”
Unity does NOT mean conceding to their every wish. That is the whining we will hear from Republicans every time things don’t go their way.
Get some earplugs and shut out the whining and lies.
Nice work Jack
ugh why doesn’t melanoma poison him
I’d like to thank all the little people…….
My favorite moving experience. From Third floor one room apartment at 23 Music Square East, Nashville to an acient farmhouse out a ways on Murphreesboro Pike, Nashville. Backed up a pickup truck off the street under a window…..threw out the mattress first and then everything else. It was beautiful
On my way down the stairs with the little black and white tv as the last thing, I noticed a commotion on the first floor. I walked down the hall and peered thru the crowd into a room full of paramedic types and what i noticed was that every inch of floor space except for little trails was filled with brown grocery bags full of trash 3 high. the entire room, and apparenty the rooms beyond. I says whazzat? and they say, they just took a looney old man out of here……I wasn’t so old then, so I didn’t take it personal.
Rob Portman. Profile in bullshit
‘cause Tennessee
When i did my time in memphis in 69, every now and then me and a couple of other goof-ass sailors would pile into Detroit Ron’s ford fairlane with a cooler of beer and jut over to Graceland…..it was a surprisingly long way from Millington……but there we’d be going up and down the street for a while peering thru the Gates of Graceland…..One day we heard the Elvinians had gone downtown and bought 40 little pink cat-scooters…..we parked across the street and watched them cavort on the lawn, 30 to 40 Elvinians and maybe the Actual Elvis was out there cutting it up.
We don’t know if we ever saw him, but the 69 Elvis was a thing of Astounding Presence.
…never understood the “Elvis” thing, guess you had to be there🤷♂️
i heard the worst ‘60s song on oldies radio the other day, by the way. Some guy screeching “gypsy” over and over, i’m assuming it was called “Gypsy”- wow, was it bad.
They weren’t all classics back in “your” day, holy shit
Here’s one more for the Marjory Taylor Greene wing of the GOP- have fun with that, guys👍🤮🇺🇸🔥
Although the 73 Elvis was all that and a bag of pork skins…… https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MT3P7p-WNSY
Elvis……you definitely had to be there
Wait, hold on- big crescendo…
no, they werent all classics back then, but our being the whoms we were led us into not picking up on the trash, filler…….just keeping it headed down the road……cause we could do dat……separate the wheat from de chaff as it were……back in the actual day……
Elvis assembled one of the world’s greatest ever Bar Bands……..those guys were killer.
Ok, am gonna listen to your tube, ‘cause Hawai’i- let’s see if i gain understanding
Cropper and Company was another one.
This is Elvis fresh onstage…..he aint yet acheived the Elvisness of his show….he’s cold and scared shitless…..he slowly over the course of this song acheives his Elviousity once more and proceeds to rock…….
We dug Elvis, but he wasnt out go-to direction, by the way……but he was among the first of our ilk.
i would have enjoyed that song with less, preferably none, of Elvis. Great band, though- concur
The warm up opener….world wide satellite broadcast……world wide…..that was big for a singer dude
Elvis is as much an entertaining cultural phenomenon as he is entertainer……..And once he realized that the shit was going bad, he checked out.
he reminds me of trump, let’s hope they have that last attribute in common
lol you refer to him in present tense #frodolives
…phone’s dead✌️
My Encounter with the man
A Chinchilla Named Elvis
Sometimes it’s hard to assimilate with those who didnt see Don and Phil Everly, Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, Jerry Lee, Little Richard, Ricky Nelson, Fats Domino, Elvis, and Roy Orbison in their original 50’s encarnations……
Not a complaint……
My favorite performance: The 68 Comeback Special
Elvis lives as long as his contract with Col Tom Parker lives. One of a kind mountain of a contract…….
1950’s “Hound Dog” era Elvis is decent- whatever drugs he was on later really killed his voice
Yeah, the leather suit 3 piece first performance since way back etc Very Strong Elvis Factor
I was 8 years old when Elvis, with Big Mama Thornton’s song “Hound Dog” made a whole bunch of us want guitars for christmas……
That was the year that Ed Sullivan promised America and the world to not show Elvis, the Pelvis, from the waist down.
I’m eight years old, I’m thinking, what the fucking hell is a pelvis…….
The parents won’t tell you, they just laugh goofy and make goofy dance moves…….
Ed Sullivan was a man of his word. He did NOT show Elvis from the waist down, and my life thereby was not inclined towards frivolous pursuits.
Except for the piano guitar parts…….those were a great waste of time……
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Me da risa.
Collins is part of the Republican BS brigade. Don’t trust them. 51 it!
My dad said he saw saw Elvis when he was a teen. The band was eating in a cafe. Elvis came in and said they needed to go. Then, when I was a kid, my dad asked the guy in the Graceland guard hut if we could go inside the gate for a minute. Nope. I was so embarrassed. Elvis wasn’t dead and it wasn’t a museum yet.
Elvis became a living statue until he run shy of the living part.
But…. I saw…….on stage live…….”Big John and Little Sparky radio show” about the same time as that picture on the side of the white cabinet yesterday……
If you go out in the woods tonight, you better not go alone…….
“he reminds me of trump”
bink, maybe the reason why is the young donald probably had a thing for elvis and subliminally took on the pout, gestures and such. elvis was born in ’35, dt came along in ’46. he would have been an impressionable adolescent during some of the presley hayday.
Show biz was all neon in the fifties
The difference between E and T is you can tell that E is a gentlenan and T is not.
Present tense……yes, in the Billy Pilgrim Tralfamadorian over view…….
a zing from kinzinger
the hill:
Unstuck in time. In the hands of a vonnegut it’s a beautiful concept, but in the hands of a bad 2nd rate drummer with an attitude it can deflate the whole enterprise
LOL
Fucking gosh.
Q-Anon is not Q. It’s P. P Anon. Proof = 17, eh?
Putin’s birthday = October 7, 1952 = 10 7 =17 and 1 9 5 2 = 17.
Q Anon is backed by Putin.
