Nyuck, nyuck.
The lovely NY AG announced that her office is joining Cy Vance in his criminal investigation of the Dumbass administration. Sorry Donnie. You’re on the fast track to screwed. Enjoy the trip.
wapo: NEW YORK — New York Attorney General Letitia James’s investigation into the Trump Organization is now considered a criminal matter, James’s office said Tuesday night, noting that officials with the former president’s company were recently apprised of the development. “We have informed the Trump Organization that our investigation into the company is no longer purely civil in nature,” said Fabien Levy, a spokesperson for the attorney general’s office. “We are now actively investigating the Trump Organization in a criminal capacity, along with the Manhattan DA. We have no additional comment at this time.” […] The attorney general’s decision appears to have increased the legal risk that former president Donald Trump faces in New York, where the parallel investigations run by James and Vance had already delved more deeply into Trump’s byzantine finances than any law enforcement authorities ever had. Previously, the danger posed by James’s investigation seemed to be merely financial — the kind of lawsuit Trump had faced from New York attorneys general before over his Trump University and his charity. Those cost him money but didn’t threaten his liberty. Now, however, James could also seek criminal penalties. And she appears to be cooperating with Vance’s office, a move that could allow the two wide-ranging investigations to share data. Previously, the investigative team under James was pursuing a strictly civil investigation, which remains active and could still result in a lawsuit against the company and its executives. […] Both probes have also focused on whether the Trump Organization — which… Read more »

Shaman lawyer’s language was offensive but his point was valid, Jan. 6th was like an open casting call for “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”
He also isn’t wrong that the former guy’s henchpeople employed an über-sophisticated propaganda campaign that purposely targeted mentally-vulnerable people
That lawyer is totally correct and valid…..I’d just hate for him to tell everybody if it was me.
I mean, I walked into a pancake house with a cow’s pelvis bone on my head one time, but not the camn dapitol.
As more documents are reviewed by the #NYAG and #NYDA, it appears that the troubles for Donald #Trump will keep on coming! Soon enough, Donald and Associates will be held responsible for their actions.
Renee, that was Don jr as I recall.
While Don jr may be genetically the pool boy’s offspring, Eric is for certain Trump sr’s boy and it is my guess he inherited all of the Trump weasel genes. That is why my money is on him, weasels of this world usually aren’t that smart but they are good survivors.

Some may doubt their existence, but there is a Christian left and they are admirably represented by Sojourners. The June issue has an interesting article
Pam Dawber once Mindy of Mork and Mindy was on last night’s NCIS rerun. Somehow she went and became 69. I didn’t know that she is Harmon’s wife. Messed with my memories.
The April 6 episode of NCISfeatured the debut ofPam Dawberas journalist Marcie Warren. Because she is the real-life wife of series star Mark Harmon, the CBS procedural has tried numerous times over the years to convince the former Mork & Mindy star to appear alongside her husband.
I worked with this guy who liked that “hoo-hah” part so much he’d try to stick it into other songs, like Jimmy Reed’s “Big Boss Man” . Hoo, Hah……That was tedious at best……
Landed the last computer right in the middle of the 405 .

Devin Nunes’ new “unmasking” scandal exposes the corruption within Bill Barr’s DOJ
Barr’s Department of Justice tried to force Twitter to unmask a parody Devin Nunes account
“Gov. Greg Abbott has signed a bill into law that prohibits Texas cities from banning natural gas as a fuel source for new construction and utility services.“
He doesn’t care about an increase of severe weather events from climate change that may leave the kiddos dead or homeless, either.
“Bush confirmed that he has a June 2 campaign kick-off planned, but was somewhat coy about what office he’ll be running for in 2022: “I have shared with the public I am taking a very serious look at a run for attorney general but I also wanted to provide deference to those in the legislative halls of this session and make that announcement after they have completed their work.“
We need a new brand name , nickname, and mascot for the Republicans .
It has dawned on everyone just how the SCOTUS striking down of the “Equal Time” law was a cancer on the soul of the party, and in turn our country.
That spawned the Rush and Newt show on AM radio.
Little did the leaders of the GOP at that time , think it would lead to the purges we have seen since the election of Obama.
Bush, Cheney, McCain, Romney , Bohner , Rayan, etc. , etc.
With all that said , I propose something along the lines of the –
Grand ole’ Greedy Grifter Party. The GoGGP.
Their mascot , a Box Jelly Fish wearing face paint and cow horns.
Blink –
Pam yes , the last of the “girls next door”.
The real stunner is Allie McGraw .
She moved to Santa Fe after McQueen died, and never looked back .
Saw her a few weeks ago , the woman is stunning. Like a sculpture.
OM, never saw Nancy play a Flying V before. Caught her in Boston along with the rest of the group probably eight years ago, and until I saw her live I never realized how good a voice she has.
I found my CD-RW of the best of my horn lamps.
I figured out how to put “cool” light blubs in cow horns . They glow like frozen candles. That was over 15 years ago. This lighting tech has made great strides.
Trying to get images to my new clean deck top.
This is work I completely forgot . I am stunned by how well I did.
I posted about the change here a few days back.
The rain has come back. It rained here for 2 hours this morning , that moderate rain like Kaiser, Oregon.
All that headlines the grief Southeast of me this being formed way up here.
A switch has been made.
We when from No Rain, to Orlando in two or three days.

This was my first search on the wire.

I finally found B-17. It changed my life.
B-17 still has her daughters roaming the Southern Ocean .
That was 20 years ago.

Will they be able to roll up his kidzzz into it, too? They are also a threat to democracy if any of them make a run for office.

Can they wrap the kids in? Yes. Eric and Dumbass Jr. could be in danger. They ran the organization for the past 4 years.
That shaman atty probably just wants off the case but wouldn’t mind keeping the retainer or whatever he got…….
I would really object if my atty went out and told the newspaper I should be on the short bus.
