Text of the page (random words):
he impression that the poor old gal was just a tad bat shit crazy it is my belief that both she and rudolph giuliani could make a convincing case of not guilty by reason of insanity it would make perfect sense and if anyone out there has any familiarity with any of sydney or rudy s attorneys in this case you might want to forward this piece to them as it turns out sydney powell won t be doing any time in prison for her crimes against the people of the united states she ll merely be forced to pay a few thousand dollars in fines and will be on parole for about a year give or take a few months the worst that can happen to her will be that she might be disbarred from ever practicing law again personally i believe that she is getting a really sweet deal she must be very relieved at the moment she should be the former first fool has always had nice things to say about sydney powell that s about to change as you might imagine is trump tampering with her as a witness i can imagine him phoning her in the dead of night ordering her to keep tight lipped regarding every crime she saw committed in the white house during the 2020 21 season but sydney i m going to be re elected next year and my first order of business on january 20 2025 will be a sweet and juicy pardon for you i wouldn t put it past him for a minute the fact is that no chief executive has the jurisdiction to pardon sydney powell hers is a crime against the state of georgia it is not a federal crime the guy s arrogance knows no bounds i need to take note here of the fact that the word bitch rhymes with snitch wait for that to be the next trend in extreme right wing talking points mark my words campers it s almost a pity that dick nixon couldn t live to see this moment in our history compared to the trump mob the nixon gang are starting to look like the founding fathers did you ever dream that you would live to see the day where our national civic dialogue would become this unhinged i always knew that it would eventually happen but not in my lifetime strange days indeed tom degan goshen ny suggested viewing this very well made documentary about the 2020 campaign appeared on pbs s frontline recently 2 the choice 2020 trump vs biden full documentary frontline youtube it s well worth your precious time afterthought 10 28 23 3 00 pm i posted this on facebook three years ago i found it in the memories file it ain t bad is stealing ever justified if your child is hungry and you need to steal a loaf of bread and a pint of milk in order to feed that child then yes stealing is more than justified blessed are the meek even if they re forced to resort to theft even if they go to prison for the offense that is why our prisons are filled with people for whom poverty is almost like an old and dysfunctional friend rich people don t go to prison unless they steal from other rich people breathe in the crisp autumn air posted by tom degan 12 33 pm 56 comments saturday october 07 2023 chaos in their wake cassidy i used to speculate that back in the not too fabulous fifties while joe mccarthy was stumbling around the country doing so much damage to american civil liberties the average american could take comfort that seventy years ago there was only one joe mccarthy today the halls of the house of reprehensibles is literally crawling with scores of joe mccarthy wannabes one of the most hideous and vile of the bunch is a lamebrained congressman from florida named matt gaetz he succeeded this week in removing kevin mccarthy from his position as speaker of the house i suspect this was a personal vendetta on his part as cassidy hutchinson relates in her recently released memoires a couple of years ago gaetz tried to get cassidy to let him into her room at camp david mccarthy came to the poor woman s aid and effectively told matty boy to get lost matt was determined to get vengeance it s only a theory of mine but it makes perfect sense by the way after cassidy s book was released last month gaetz dismayed no doubt by the unflattering things she wrote about him said in a statement that he and cassidy dated for a while in an appearance of the jimmy kimmel program cassidy hutchinson stated unequivocally that her tastes in men are several notches above the likes of matt gaetz and that he s not a serious person gym jordan here is one of the many reasons why i left the democratic party twenty five years ago the main problem with that idiotic party is that they don t think long range a lot of them were just giddy to join the extremist republicans in ousting speaker mccarthy which is why i believe that there are not too many of these knuckleheads who are any good at chess did any of them not stop and think about the possibility that the next one might not be as bad as mccarthy that he might even turn out to be much worse i m not sure about steve scalese but jim jordan or as i usually refer to him gym jordan the man is a thug and a charlatan of the worst order why the good people of ohio would send such an incomprehensible and disgusting crank to represent them in washington is anybody s guess remember it was jordan who was caught red handed in a scandal from when he was an assistant wrestling coach at an ohio college covering up for some perverted doctor who had been sexually harassing some of the boys under his charge and don t forget that it was former gop speaker denny hastert whose life and career were ruined because of a nasty scandal involving the abuse of young men barely out of their teens nice note to the gop do you folks really want to go down this road again asking for a friend in 1856 when the republican party was founded they were the party of black peoples freedom that is no longer the case wake the fuck up tom degan goshen ny suggestged viewing this interview with one time republican operative mona charen appeared recently on pbs s frontline 1 lies politics and democracy mona charen interview frontline youtube it s eye opening afterthought 10 8 23 5 34 pm it appears that jim jordan will be the next speaker of the house watch while this once great nation discends into the abyss posted by tom degan 1 24 pm 84 comments monday september 11 2023 march in washington i wanted to write this on the 28th 0f august the sixtieth anniversary of the march on washington given the heat wave that most of the country was experiencing at that moment working in the upstairs office in my house was out of the question i should have done it all the same i was in a fairly decent mood on the 28 two weeks ago i m not today on that particular day my plan was to focus on how far we ve come as a country today i cannot stop thinking about how far we need to go on august 28th 1963 there had not been an overt white supremacist in the white house since 1921 since the march we ve had two ronald reagan who was covert and donald trump who was quite overt back in the day politicians had the good sense to keep their bigotry to themselves today the halls of the senate and the house and too many governor s mansions to count are littered with racists sure we ve had an african american president which is a decided step forward but in too many cases we ve taken decided steps backwards afterthought 2 october 2023 i never finished this one truth be told my health has not been great lately and my concentration and energy level has been in the toilet tom degan goshen ny suggested viewing crazy like a fox 1926 charley chase was one of the great silent film comedians sadly he s all but forgotten today this film is really funny look for a young oliver hardy this was a year before he teamed up with stan laurel charley chase died in 1940 age forty seven from acute alcoholism 1 crazy like a fox 1926 starring charlie chase youtube the man was a hoot and a half posted by tom degan 4 14 pm 3 comments wednesday august 30 2023 post 1 128 random observations pissing off the far right since june of 2006 what you are about to read are a collection of unrelated observations that i had scribbled in my notebook or posted out in the facebooksphere any resemblances to any people living or not quite so living are purely intentional 1 more american carnage there was another mass shooting in the american night this time at a dollar store in jacksonville florida get used to living in a nation in ruins unless our politicians get their priorities in order this is the way it s going to be from now on keep voting the republicans and the blue dog democrats 2 the error of donnie s ways donald trump s fatal error was assumption that all professional republican politicians are as blatantly corrupt as he most of them are but not all of them i cannot tell you what a pleasant surprise it was for me to find this out 3 the year of the black woman three of the four people whose mission it it to deliver justice to donald trump are black women i m absolutely certain that this nasty little fact must be driving the old bugger nuts book em fani 4 rudy s irony twenty two years ago rudolph giuliani was one of the most beloved republican politicians since dwight eisenhower perhaps even theodore roosevelt three years ago he attached his star to donald trump s clown car today his historic reputation is mere ashes on the alter of public opinion he is telling everyone who will bother to listen that he is proud to be in donald trump s corner he s not the association with the former potus is the biggest regret of his once proud life take it to the bank 5 what is reality this particular post that you are now reading has no point whatsoever please move on to the next one 6 a disney moment i just had a revelation that almost threw me today august 30 2023 i am four days older than walt disney was on the day he died december 15 1966 my only comfort is the certain knowledge that when you wish upon a star it doesn t make a damned bit of difference how old you are tom degan goshen ny suggested viewing don t arraign

off the looney right go out and enjoy a bud light posted by tom degan 2 58 pm 56 comments friday august 25 2023 what a mug mugshot of the former president of the united states yesterday was a ripe day for schadenfreude donald j trump the former president of the united states was booked for multiple felonies in georgia at the fulton county jail the fulton county jail it sounds like the name of a country and western record oh mama a hm here in the fulton county jail mah life has always been a gigantic fail if trump is convicted of only one of the ninety one felonies he s being charged with it will end up meaning that he ll go to prison for at least five years five years in the slammer baby he could very well die in federal custody for someone who has spent the last fifty years thumbing his nose at the law this would be quite a shakespearian comeuppance indeed for someone like me who was laughed at and sneered at seven years ago when i predicted that his administration would end disastrously with him being the first chief executive in american history to be sent to federal prison this is indeed a red letter day of sweet vindication some of the opinion makers out there are mournfully bowing their talking heads and bemoaning yesterday as a sad day for america i could not disagree more in fact with the exception of donald trump and company yesterday should have been viewed by all as a beautiful day for america and the american people yesterday the entire nation could hold their heads up high and proclaim to the rest of the planet that in the united states of america no one is above the law thats s a very good thing it was one of the great days in the history of this country with the head of an organized criminal enterprise being held accountable for his many crimes against the people what s not to be giddy about smile darn you smile the following twelve months will be the most civically interesting of our lifetimes more interesting than watergate even as i ve said too many times to count nixon was a pin prick donald trump is a freakin blood bath a lot could happen between now and the gop convention next summer if trump ends up incarcerated between now and then would he be so brazen to run his campaign from his prison cell of course he would remember that this is donald trump we re talking about here in fact it would not be unprecedented socialist candidate eugene debs ran his 1920 campaign for the presidency from his prison cell the only difference between the two men is the fact that debs would have made a pretty decent president i hope i live long enough to see this mess through to its conclusion my health is not great these days and my longevity is anybody s guess the first time i ever heard of donald trump was not though the print or electronic media it was by meeting him it was about 1983 or 84 i was polishing the brass railings in the lobby of the not yet opened trump tower when donald and one of his sycophantic little flunkies came over to where we were working after he asked us a couple of questions about what we were doing the sycophantic little flunkie informed us that we should not direct our answers to mr trump but to him i remember thinking what an asshole at the time trump was just another dime a dozen new york real estate mogul and not yet a public figure that would happen in about a year after that i studied every article on him that i came across by the year 2016 i was an expert on the guy that is why when he seized the white house on january 20 2017 i knew he would be a disaster as chief executive in fact it was the easiest call i ever made tom degan goshen ny suggested reading confidence man by maggie haberman i plugged this one a couple of weeks ago but i need to repeat myself

you donald j trump 8 4 23 full disclosure i committed a felony once the year was 1975 and i was seventeen i had come into possession of eight ounces of marijuana back in the days of new york governor nelson rockefeller s insanely stupid drug laws carrying a half pound of weed was a felony i knew perf ectly well that what i was doing was agin the law but the way i looked at it i was hurting no one not even myself that was the only time in my life that i committed any type of felony given the age i was in 1975 i would not have been tried as an adult had the coppers nabbed me that being the case the question is screaming to be posed how the heck does a man in his seventies manage to commit seventy eight felonies in the course of just four years oh yeah allegedly we must not forget the truism that donald trump is innocent until proven guilty for all we know that audio recording of him threatenin...
