THE ABSURD TIMES
So now we know why the Orange took the documents. Reading, as expected, had nothing to do with it. And his crime? Well, Jimmie Carter wrote his entire WHITE HOUSE DIARIES in the East wing so that there would be no confusion over the law. Orange took dozens of boxes of documents with him.
Maggats, or Trickle Down Ignorance

This guy made his performance recently in Ohio and we could see his audience with the exhumberance of early Beatles fan and a stiff-armed salute that could only remind us of the Nazi rallies with Hitler speaking. It was billed as a support for some candidate who denies that the last election was fair, but featured a demonstration of showmanship he seldom matched. As the one armed, straight Heil was being formed in considerable silence, he stood, face forward, solemn, looking slightly above the crowd. He wore Q-ANON insignia's and the crowd knew one for all.
Most of those who know him fairly well point out that he will be facing at least, four, perhaps additional lawsuits and he has been having difficulty for the last several years finding lawyers who will represent them as others either were not reimbursed for their work, had their license suspended or been disbarred, or a combination of the bunch. Even the scum Bill Barr who thought that Iran-Contra was a good idea and Ollie North a hero and had defended Orangeman for some time, recently said he saw no indication that the last election was stolen. He got out just in time to preserve his right to practice, but you do need to realize that the Attorney General is not the President's Lawyer or even the White House lawyer – he is supposed to be OUR lawyer, the people's lawyer. Biden understands this. [Just in case you object, this was clarified after the Kennedy administration, not before.]
Orangeman's mythology does not come from American as Hitler's came from Germany. While distorted disgustingly, the myths did come from Germany. So, where does Orangeman get his myth? Right, Q-Anon, a right-wing nut case that makes Alex Jones seem like a sensible moderate. Q-Anon may well be several dope fiends working together – it doesn't matter.
Will he re-run? It is doubtful. It is sort of like Trump University. Nothing for something. A scam to keep donations coming in from those who can least afford it for his own pockets. If you believe him, and only fools do, the only reason he was convicted in the University scam was the Hispanic heritage of the presiding judge.

Some time ago, someone was nostalgic for the 60s. We, we have that in Russia today. One leader is assassinated as he took the advice of the French and decided to leave Viet Nam (a Dulles project, both of them). Then came a huge draft, demonstrations against, violent counter-attacks by the police, soon described by another Illinois politician as a "Police Riot". Kent State with several peaceful demonstrators killed. It got to the point where the argument was if these kids could not vote, they should not be sent to was. [So the voting age was changed.] The draft was the culprit as many migrated or escaped to Canada. A lottery got rid of conscription, but the war continued, and was increased, nevertheless. The peace talks failed because Nixon's supporters went to North Vietnam and promised a better deal if Nixon was elected.
Oh yes, the 60s were lovely – now recreated by Putin in Russia. Brezhnev tried to warn us about Afghanistan, but we didn't care. We hired Bin Laden, don't forget. We also promised the USSR that NATO would not move one inch Eastward if the wall in Berlin came down. Today, that has become buried and if mentioned was promised by a minor functionary and not binding. So, if you really miss the 60s,, watch Russia today.
Weather
I can imagine a telegram to Ron DeSantis: THANKS FOR THE FREE PLANE-RIDE TO CAPE COD. The first EPA, Environmental Protection Agency was created by Nixon. Jimmie Carter installed solar-panels at the white house and Ronnie Raygun tore them down. And of course, Raygun's supporters had visited Iran before the election (just like Nixon's in Vietnam). Iran's hostages were released the day after inaugeration.
Not much else, or too much else, just want to get this out now.
