Mike isn't raising enough cash. Of course, it's hard to raise cash when your party's Lord God King is demanding more and more of it from the same constituents. https://www.thedailybeast.com/gop-pays-the-price-for-booting-kevin-mccarthy?ref=home?ref=home

Good God. Just watch.

Meet Oscar. We adopted him from a shelter in June 2020. He was 10 weeks old when we brought him home. No idea on the lineage; maybe some pit bull, some boxer, etc. I'm sure the Governor would have executed him because he is too energetic.

You know, the next day or so Kim Jong Un has the chance to do the funniest thing by having the DPRK release the news that he has never met her, nor has any idea who she is.

Barron, about your graduation:

Fucker is wrapped up so tight it has an eye like a hurricane:

Somehow, someway it seems all the women in Trump's orbit (or who want to be) end up looking worse than when they started.

And we're off:

Court break over, same witness: Deborah Tarasoff The jury is being sent home for the day. Deborah Tarasoff is done. It is unclear whether we will get another witness or not. The lawyers are huddling with the judge. I believe we’ve now seen all the records for which Trump was charged — 34 in all. The defense's strategy has been to put to try to put as much distance between Trump and whatever is under discussion as they can. Todd Blanche just tried it again while questioning Deborah Tarasoff, saying she didn’t get direct permission from Trump to draft the checks he signed, but rather from her boss, Jeffrey McConney. The cross-examination concludes, very quickly. Christopher Conroy, a prosecutor, concludes his questioning of Deborah Tarasoff and Todd Blanche, a defense lawyer, stands up to cross-examine her. Trump turns his body to watch his lead lawyer and is now staring toward the lectern with his arm over the back of a chair. Blanche begins by establishing that he and Tarasoff don’t know each other. Blanche takes a slight swipe at the prosecution, noting the confirmation of the checks took “an hour and a half.” Conroy, who led Tarasoff through that testimony, shoots Blanche a look. Blanche looked down at his wrist when he did this, as if to look at a watch. As he mentioned how long it took to go through this evidence, Trump scoffed and shook his head. We are seeing a series of checks made out to Michael Cohen, signed by Trump. His signature looks like a seismograph, all ups and downs, with a single decernible letter: the D at the front of his first name.
