I went to my gay nephew's wedding reception this weekend. The affair was a beautiful, multi-cultural, white, brown, black, straight, gay celebration full of caring and loving people. This is what the USA is about. This is what makes this nation great. The Christofascist, White Nationalists will NOT win. Love does trump hate!

Certain members of my family have been forced to face their early racist, misogynistic, diseases of the mind when one of their daughters revealed her preference for women inside of relationships. I never said a word to them. I just stood in unabashed support of my neice, and hoped that the sicko's in her family of origin didn't inflict too much damage upon her. I think that there is a special place in hell for people like some my ignorant family.

Joyce, I'm ever amazed at your work ethic. I can't imagine if the person living in the White House had the same or even a fraction of your work ethic. This country would be in a far better place. It's disgraceful what we have seen this weekend on the White House grounds.

Thank you, again, for all you do. Your work is so very much appreciated.

My reaction, exactly. Just reading this stuff exhausts me, but I figure I owe it to her to read every word.

Thank you for your clear presentation on the various issues and cases facing the trumpet administration. And , most importantly, thank you for NOT covering the monstrosities of trumpet’s cage fight birthday self- present. I turned off all TV and radio today so as not to deal with the nonsense.

Aha, I'm not the only one who calls him 'trumpet'! As in, 'blowing his own horn' seems to be the only thing he's good for, or at.

Pamela I did as well.

I would like to see Judge Cannon disciplined by the Florida Bar. And, I hope the decision to withhold Jack Smith’s 2nd case records will be overturned by the 11th Circuit Ct.

Despite his War on History, Donald Trump cannot escape the ultimate exposure of his crimes, lies and ignorance … enough to fill, ironically, a trove of books.

What we refer to in my house as "the Trump is Bad" books.

“collective sense of relief among some Democrats,” Are you kidding? There are reports that Mark Warner supports the new DNI nominee. Why do we have any faux democrats? Why do we want to give this administration any FISA authority?

Oh my Joyce ! This is an avalanche of information. I’m overwhelmed. Glad you got out for dinner. Will read this missive again tomorrow when I can see straight! With gratitude for your wonderful work for all us non lawyers.

Don't be fooled by the distractions, folks! As they "flood the zone with shit", they are trying to do with DNI as they pulled off with AG. Nominating Matt Gaetz outraged us all, which then allowed the equally noxious Pam Bondi to thoroughly corrupt the DOJ. Now, they put the sickening Bill Pulte up for DNI, and the country gets its 'panties in a bunch', just as they want. We allow Jay Clayton to take the position, and just like that, we find ourselves losing whatever freedoms we have left. DON'T FALL FOR IT!! Start TODAY writing and calling your Reps, demanding they vote NO!!! on Clayton, and for them to demand an American for this crucial position.

Don't fall for it! Not again!!

i was just about to post something about this issue but you eloquently beat me to it. this is a typical trump trick. confirming clayton is merely going from the fire back into the frying pan, but the situation in the frying pan is still a major threat.

Thank you for the week ahead. It was announced on the news taxpayers money went into those cage matches.

YES.TAXPAYERS PAY FOR EVERYTHING POTUS DOES.

It may not be long before all of the Billions taken from Our Treasury leave us in need of funds. The Social Security Trust and Medicare may appear to be potential options to supply that need. There is more than one way to shaft us.

I personally won't allow the offal of this one night spectacle to desecrate what the nation's capital means to me or to this country. He, his administration and that fight are just an aberration. Not to be too graphic but I compare it all to a fart in an elevator on the 250th floor and the ride will take what seems like forever. What a relief when the doors open and we have some fresh air, metaphorically speaking.

Will Katie Pfang subpoena all the principals in Nipplegate in her EPSTEIN records case?

Laurie Dhandapani's avatar

Phew… it makes ones head spin!

My hope is that the behavior of this administration is so outrageous that it catches up soon and the whole thing collapses in front of his…and our eyes.

Parkin Hunter's avatar

You do not mention the real evil associated with today, June 15. Today should remind every one of the true evil we have all become. Of course, today is the day estimated tax payments are due from we nobodies. I love being made even more complicit as an accessory to murder and war crimes by paying taxes. Cheers.

What I can't understand is why there has been no legal action taken against the DOJ for entirely ignoring the law passed by Congress concerning the full disclosure of the Epstein files. Aren't there criminal penalties for breaking the law? Can't the entire DOJ be held in contempt and either fined or jailed??? Why has there not been any formal action, if I did so, I'd be poor or in jail!!

Ronni Ebbers's avatar

With all else ... please address why they are not permitting us to see the Kennedy Center WITHOUT trump's name since it has allegedly been removed?

Ellie still in the mix in 26's avatar

Because the current president has the mindset of a petulant 4 year old.

Pam Birkenfeld's avatar

Best I can understand it, it was not part of the original name removal order, you wouldn’t think that would have to be but apparently it’s the case. Some speculation that it could remain up there for the duration of his term. I’m sure somebody will try to get it down before that.

Kathy Koblik's avatar

seems pretty childish and undignified and petulant

(which doesn't sounds untoward)

someone clever could have some fun....I can imagine some cartoons....

Pam Birkenfeld's avatar

I’m not the only one to think that some of those projections that we’ve seen on other buildings would be totally fun in this case.

Sports fans, especially those in North Carolina, had the perfect counterprogramming to the Cage Fight (which I will forever more refer to as The Cage of Follies). It was Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals where the Carolina Hurricanes were playing the Las Vegas Knights in Vegas. If the Canes won, they'd win the Stanley Cup and be champions. They won 3-0.
