Ceci n’est pas une banane
George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley, in a Los Angeles Times op-ed this week, gave us one of the most succinct and elegant analyses of the ongoing impeachment circus I’ve seen so far:
Frankly, when I look at this impeachment, I see a banana taped to a wall. As others coo over the power and evidence in the report, I continue to look around scratching my head, wondering why others don’t see the obvious gaps and conflicts. https://t.co/FnzdfdzpOk

The Democrats have just voted to hand Trump horrific surveillance powers by reauthorizing the Patriot Act, and given him a $738bn war budget (including his Space Force), but he’s still a Russian stooge and a threat to Democracy™, so let’s impeach his ass anyway.
Christ, who the hell are they kidding?

End of the Trail
Looks like the Liz “I Have A Plan” Warren campaign has really hit the skids since introducing her convoluted, Rube Goldberg-style fake-ass Medicare For All plan. Anybody who knows shinola from that other stuff knows what real Medicare For All looks like, and Warren’s mess isn’t it.
And needless to say, that whole claiming Native American ancestry thing hasn’t exactly done wonders for her, either.

Well, isn’t this just all-time… Vincent Orange, DC Chamber of Commerce CEO and former disgraced DC City Council member, is throwing a bash for himself and a host of fellow grifters to congratulate themselves for bringing big-league baseball back to DC. Anybody who was anybody making this city miserable back in the ’00s is going to be there, a turn-of-the-century rogues’ gallery featuring none other than former Mayor Tony “The Rat” Williams himself. Honorees’ schwag is to include replicas of the World Series trophy, and baseballs personally autographed by the owners of the Washington Nationals:

The truly spectacular irony here is that at a masturbatory shindig held by a guy who ended up resigning from the City Council after taking the Chamber gig, one of the honorees is our current champion multi-dipper, soon-to-be-bounced-out-of-his-seat and likely to end up with a C of C spot, Ward 2 Councilman Jack Evans — an irony so spectacular, in fact, that I’m really going to have to go lie down now.
