Well, if you haven’t do so. I’m half way through it, but that’s enough to point out a few things:
1. This is the case of the year, and probably the century. It’s up there with OJ and Lindbergh.
2. The facts and the law are clear.
3. The defense will be a Freedom of Speech argument, which this case is not about, and something about executive privilege, which, again, it is not. But there will be a lot of shouting about those things.
Also, it will be called a political case, which it is not. All the people mentioned in the indictment are Republicans. They were working for, or on the behalf of then President Trump. This after he had been twice impeached, and had lost the election. A third defense is being suggested – that Donald got bad advice from at least two of the co-conspirators. Nice. Throw ‘em under the bus. That’s what you get for being loyal to Trump.
In ancillary news and rumor:
A. Melania, Baron, and her parents may have gone back to her country of origin. Other reports say she is cloistered in one of her three houses and goes out only to see her hairdresser, and occasionally to have Friday night dinner with whatshisname.
B. Ivanka has taken her husband’s last name in publicity. She would rather be known, for the moment, as Kushner, not Trump. This may change if Jared gets handed a subpoena. Who knows?
Breaking News!
George Santos is playing for Brazil in the Women’s World Cup!
No one should be shocked as he was already a volleyball star, and had dual citizenship. My question is, “What will his Republican colleagues do?” Will Jim Jordan investigate? Will Nikki Haley be outraged? So many questions.
For me, I have one, “How can he be playing for Brazil this morning when they got eliminated last night?”
Breaking News Update:
George Santos is playing for Columbia, not Brazil!
(The previous reporting was inaccurate. Who knew two teams in the World Cup had yellow jerseys? To quote Sean Hannity, “honest mistake.”)
This raises yet more questions, for instance, “Does George Santos have triple citizenship?” “Are the shoes being worn in the game ones that he possibly recovered from the robber who took them from him on 5th Avenue?”
There is another possibility, and I would be remiss to not mention it, “Maybe, there is someone else named Santos?”
From South America? Naw. Maybe? You be the judge.
Maybe?
Wow. He looks good.
Lastly, both Germany and Brazil are out. Amazing. Unseated by countries that our former president would describe as … I don’t want to say it. Wouldn’t be prudent.
Jamaica is in, which is amazing, given that it is an island surrounded by water.
Speaking of our former president. Al Sharpton had an interesting comment. He said when he was growing up in Brooklynn he would pass by guys on the street who would say – they got a case dropped on them. But three? Three cases at once? He’d never heard of such a thing. Our former president is breaking new ground.
And lastly Morocco beat Columbia. One of the Moroccan players was wearing a hijab. Only one. Wow. If this was Iran the rest of the team wouldn’t be able to return home. Iran is not at the games, as far as I know. How could they be? The Mullahs are busy rounding up the women and putting them in prison. The Iranian world champion rock climber decided not to return to her home country after her hijab fell off in a competition.
For some reason, the young women of the world don’t want stinky old men with beards telling them what they should and should not be doing.
