Closing Time

So, don’t act like Republicans?🤷‍♂️ Note to self: never shake hands with Sen. Kennedy. (And I do NOT want to know what the context of that statement was, either.) Uh-huh. Does it involve suspending the 5th and 14th Amendments? ‘Cause they already tried that. Otherwise it goes through the courts, and the DOJ has a piss poor track record in cases where the defendant has competent legal counsel, in an Art. III court. The job of the White House Counsel is to give legal counsel to the Office of the President. Not the person holding that office; she/he needs their own lawyer with a duty to their client. White House Counsel doesn’t represent the Office in court, either. When the office is a defendant in a civil suit, DOJ represents the office. (Hence the tremendous conflicts of interest when Trump tried to settle a suit he had filed against the government.)

Scharf is so out of line here it’s not funny. He has no role to play, and no authority, not even the “color of law” around him. In the vernacular, his mouth is writing checks his ass can’t cash. It’s almost funny that he just wants everyone to “follow the rules.” Like Trump, that means only the rules that favor Trump.

Nice work, if you can get it.

I’m not sure he isn’t putting his law license in jeopardy. He’s certainly being a braying ass.

On the other channel, a palate cleanser.
SENATOR-ELECT SCOTT COLOM: We all know that prayer is only a part of our Mississippi faith tradition. You need faith. And I'll tell you, throughout this campaign, there were many times where I had to have faith. There were times that I couldn't get donors to answer the phone. They did not believe a moment like this was possible, but I kept the faith….

There's so many people that have faith in Mississippi at times where it seemed impossible. People like Medgar Evers. I can't help but think about Medgar Evers on Veterans Day. A moment like this, where he served his country and came home to Mississippi when they wouldn't let him vote. But he had faith that Mississippi could make progress. He had faith that one day everybody would have the right to vote. He had faith that a day like this was possible
SENATOR-ELECT COLOM: I've been telling everybody that we're going to win this election. I was saying it 8 or 9 months ago. But every time I said it, I pointed out that people were going to give me too much credit for it because it's not something that I did. It's something that we did.

All I did was have the courage to imagine a night like this. I had the courage to believe in Mississippi. I had the courage to understand that we could show the country that Mississippi matters.
Sen.-Elect Colom: But I want to have a final word to every Mississippian: the ones that voted for me, the ones that didn’t vote for me, and the ones that didn’t vote.

My commitment to you, each and every one of you, is that, first, I’m going to treat your children like I want my children to be treated. I’m going to treat your parents the way I want my parents to be treated. I’m going to treat your future the way I want my future to be.

My commitment is to be someone that continues to stay in prayer, continues to have faith, and continues to work to make every Mississippian’s life better.

That’s what you’re getting.

I make a solemn commitment to each and every Mississippian: In every decision I make, I will never forget: The most important thing is Mississippi matters.
Does that sound “woke” to anybody?

Me, neither.
Military families ERUPTED in anger at a Navy town hall after learning their loved ones fighting Trump's Iran war won't be home for the holidays.

Families described broken equipment, worsening conditions, and a mental health crisis. One spouse said her husband had contemplated suicide FOUR TIMES and was denied help.
The blockade of Iran is hardly costing us anything. 

Closing thoughts: Good night Mr. and Mrs. America, and all the ships at sea. 🌊
