Hey, where is everybody? Now that I know where Turtle Island is, here's a little Needle and the Damage Done, by Neil Young. Old Man. Helpless.

Okay, let's get the CW Sunday Night Music Festival and Dance Party underway, eh!?

As for the theme for this evening, your favourite Americana tunes and songs from Turtle Island with a few Canadiana tunes thrown in for good measure. :)

Who will get things started?

There's no need for "hope." Matter of time, my Dear. Trump has pissed off way too many people on this planet to just walk away, scot free. I'll go out on a limb and predict that Trump will die before all is said and done. Putin cannot let it get out that he owns Trump and he'll figure out a way to assassinate Trump. You heard it here first!

Keep hoping, Caddy, keep hoping ... :)

Also, Elizabeth, this tax fraud indictment is clearly designed to incentivize Weisselberg to "flip" on the big fish, Trump.

Relax. This is simply the opening salvo.

Death Harris,

Trump lies sometimes?

Yes, but probably not as often as you do.

By: Elizabeth Miller

I think that has already happened, no?

At one of his Klan rallies in Florida on Saturday, Florida Man explained to his death cult zombies how to trick death cult zombies. "There's a word: disinformation. If you say it enough and keep saying it, just keep saying it and they'll start to believe you."

Florida Man keeps complaining that nobody gets prosecuted for tax evasion, but as Rachel Maddow pointed out, that's exactly what billionaire Leona "only the little people pay taxes" Helmsley went to prison for.

Florida Man had planned to speak at a July 4th rally at USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park, but officials denied the permit because the event would be partisan and not patriotic. Cancelled!

Good luck with that. The Big Orange Loser says that he will be making a "significant announcement" about his "efforts to protect Americans' First Amendment rights". He's lazier than Death Harris and he lies sometimes, so expect something insignificant about a new website. Don't expect him to go away until they Lock Him Up!

That was a bit hasty ... I actually, afte a lot of serious second sober thought, agree with what former FBI director said about a Trump pardon.

But, again, don't think it will ever come to that. I'd be just as happy as a pig in mud if the former president would just go away.

By: Elizabeth Miller

Elizabeth Miller — Sat, 03 Jul 2021 18:12:10 +0000

Well, I'm done with Biden if he ever pardons Trump. But, I don't believe that will be necessary.

Anyways, may I suggest a theme for tomorrow evening?

How about a focus on our facourite Americana tunes and music from Turtle Island ...

[12] Elizabeth Miller wrote: If Mueller couldn't get him, probably nobody can. Wrong. Mueller couldn't "get" Trump because of that silly so-called Justice Department memo that says you can't indict a sitting President. He explicitly said, "If we could clear home we would, y'all can indict after he leaves office." Trump is going down. No way Joe pulls a Gerry Ford and pardons his ass.

Congratulations, Chris! You triggered a spit take of my morning tea for your hilarious conclusion to the introductory remarks. 'But probably weirder than that was seeing the headline: "Gaetz Invites Britney Spears To Testify Before Congress." Seriously, has anyone sat Matt Gaetz down and explained to him that Britney's no longer an underage teenager? (OK, we couldn't resist that one, sorry.)' Enjoy your well-deserved vacation.

I sure do hope that I won't be telling y'all that 'I told ya so' after the midterms ...

missing from the site — no mention of the House select committee to investigate the 1/6 insurrection to be found!

That is also instructive for Dems but, will they ever learn?

By: Elizabeth Miller

Elizabeth Miller — Sat, 03 Jul 2021 04:26:14 +0000

Well, Russ, the charges were pretty mild considering the time Cy Vance Jr. has spent investigating Trump and the fact that he has all those Trump tax returns.

Does anyone still believe Trump is going down! Heh. There's a fantasy for ya!

Was just looking at the FoxNews website… zero stories about the Trump organization and CFO being criminally charged can be found on their Politics page… zilch! On their Opinions page, their is a video of Eric Trump clutching at his pearls from yesterday at the very bottom of the page — but that’s the only one.

Also missing from the site — no mention of the House select committee to investigate the 1/6 insurrection to be found!

Totally off subject: We (my SO and I) think we've come up with the right way to refer to the previous president. It's been an issue across LW media and we're looking to spread our vision.

oh geez, there's more. For screwing up so badly, we have to award our Most Impressive Democrat Of The Week award collectively to all the Democrats on the New York City Board Of Elections. are you okay?

The second of July is indeed the day American declared her independence from Britain.
