29 thoughts on “The Times They Are A-changin’”

  3. Expecting more cow pies from the idiot and the cult members this weekend going to Monday.  The traitors have had more time to gloss over the facts.  Having had multiple trainings every year for decades on security and documents I look forward to never having to do one again.  But, I and many others who have clearances of various levels and types, would never do what SFB did.  We know the outcome would not be nice.  But we also would not screw with stuff because we do love America and want to protect our country. 
     
    There is another part of this that I have hinted about in other posts, that of others who were involved in acquiring and hiding the documents.  They are complicit and deserve the same prison sentences (I really doubt SFB will be imprisoned) as SFB.  Part of carrying a clearance is the if you see someone doing wrong to classified information you need to tell someone.  It is a shame that it took such a long time for someone to finally do right.

  4. Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen
    And keep your eyes wide, the chance won’t come again
    And don’t speak too soon for the wheel’s still in spin
    And there’s no tellin’ who that it’s namin’
    For the loser now will be later to win
    ‘Cause the times, they are a-changin’
    Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call
    Don’t stand in the doorway, don’t block up the hall
    For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled
    ‘Cause the battle outside ragin’
    Will soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
    For the times, they are a-changin’

  5. Mo Bob
    The deputy sheriffs, the soldiers, the governors get paid; and the marshals and cops get the same.
    but the poor white man’s used in the hands of them all like a tool
    He’s taught in his schoo From the start by the rule That the laws are with him to protect his white skin To keep up his hate so he never thinks straight’Bout the shape that he’s in but it ain’t him to blame He’s only a pawn in their game

  6. Bobby Z was wrong. SSDD – we just hadn’t seen it in our generation* back then. But here it is again – this time in the person of the head of our government instead of spies from Manhattan. 

    * Julius and Ethel were convicted the year I was born and executed as I entered the terrible 2s club.

    Opinion | A disaster is looming at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant – The Washington Post

    Grave alarm about a possible nuclear catastrophe in Ukraine is escalating and warranted. Artillery shells have been raining on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. They could strike it in a way that would disperse radioactive materials and cause widespread contamination — equivalent to a dirty bomb — or interfere with its pressurized water cooling system, leading to a meltdown. The plant, occupied by Russian forces, should be immediately demilitarized and isolated from the war.

    […]

    There’s no military gain from a nuclear accident — both armies are equally vulnerable to radiation and contamination, and so are innocent civilians. A nuclear mishap could leave the land uninhabitable for generations. The United Nations secretary general, António Guterres, has called for a demilitarized zone at the plant. Russia rejected the proposal on Friday. The United States and other Group of Seven nations have insisted Russia return the plant to Ukrainian control, as Ukraine has also demanded. Rafael Grossi, the head of the IAEA, told the U.N. Security Council that the agency should visit the plant immediately. “This is a serious hour, a grave hour,” he declared.

    At Zaporizhzhia, it is a few minutes before midnight. A disaster must be averted.

  8. (I’m pleasantly bemused and surprised by the fact that the two greatest concerts I’ve ever attended were Liberace and Barry Manilow. )

  9. Can’t say I’ve had the pleasure of seeing either of them. I’d have to put Yo Yo Ma at the top of my list just before Elton John (which strikes me as very odd).

  10. I was reluctantly dragged to both those i mentioned, but i left each being a total believer.   They were amazing. 

  11. “decorum” Ha! 

    From patD’s link about tRUMPsky’s legal team:

    “Bobb offered a novel defense for why Trump’s team is refusing to release the warrant in an interview with NewsNation on Thursday.”

    “We’re trying to do everything in accordance with the law,” she argued.

    “There’s actually nothing preventing you guys from releasing it, though,” anchor Leland Vittert shot back.

    “Other than decorum. I mean, we’re trying to work well with the Justice Department,” Bobb replied amid a torrent of attacks on the DOJ from TrumpWorld.”

    A pack of liars, for sure, but there’s one thing they can’t be accused of this week: collusion They’re not all on the same page. Heck, they’re not even reading the same book.

    “Eric Trump confirmed in an interview with the Daily Mail that staff refused to turn off the security cameras and that he was able to view video of the raid. He also claimed in the interview that the FBI “would not give her a copy of the search warrant” even though Bobb acknowledged that she received it.”

  13. “I really doubt SFB will be imprisoned”

    BBronc, same here; but I don’t think he’ll be pardoned like nixon was.   a lot can and will happen between now and when (or even IF – trial IMO not likely also because of national security reasons) DOJ goes to trial.  my guess is that there will be an indictment, but whatever happens after that is up for grabs.

  14. Reinhard Gehlen and the trucks full of Nazi documents.  %%%%%%%%^
    The Analysts will be getting overtime. 

  17. Sturg…  that’s what I think too…  he will fly away.  He may even do it with the blessing of our government…  ya know….  just get the hell outta here and never come back!
     
    All I really care is that he never gets to run for office again…

  18. Odd thoughts about a criminal action.  Some of the stolen objects sounded like souvenirs, something like the Macron or Stone documents would be.  But the more sinister thoughts are around items that SFB would not even get past the executive summary on.  Anything that has colorful covers and are stamped with words like Top Secret/SCI with some odd word pairs on another page.  Anything beyond nukes go boom is beyond the idiots brain stem comprehending.
     
    I wonder if his handler gave him a shopping list?

  19. i’m sure Putin would appreciate compromising info on Macron

    in fact, Putin hates Macron and undoubtedly has a vendetta against him

  24. https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/13/politics/trump-attorney-classified-documents-mar-a-lago-search/index.html

    “One of former President Donald Trump’s attorneys signed a letter in June asserting that there was no more classified information stored at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence, according to two sources familiar with the matter.”

    “The letter signed by the attorney raises fresh questions about the number of people who may have legal exposure in the ongoing investigation into the handling of classified materials from Trump’s time in the White House.”

    Yep, SFB will probably skeedaddle when he can’t take the heat anymore, but so many more will probably go down.

  25. https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/13/us/fort-hood-vanessa-guillen-lawsuit/index.html

    “The family of Army Spc. Vanessa Guillén, who disappeared from Fort Hood, Texas, in 2020 and was later found dead, filed a case Friday seeking $35 million in damages from the Department of the Army…”

    “This week the 9th Circuit held that sexual assault is not incident to service, and therefore the Feres Doctrine should not apply to service members who are sexually assaulted.”

  27. BiD he’s feeling left out and left behind by Hawley and his stupidity and is trying to garner attention and regain his position as the dumbest Senator. He may just give Hawley a run for that “distinction”.

  29. Pissed off Frenchies are filling golf course holes with cement  because the courses are exempt from water restrictions
