“We’re looking at that,”” Trump said two days ago when asked about his stance on contraceptives. “We’ll have a policy on that very shortly.” Years after his promise of a health care plan layout to replace Obamacare, I’m still waiting for it. This latest statement is sure to follow the same path to nowhere, once reasonable consultants tell him it’s a loser.

Alito strikes again! What an idiot. Another insurrectionist flag at another of his homes documented. Can’t wait to hear what story he makes up about this one.

Really, Nikki? You’re going to vote for Trump? Okay, I can understand why a person like you could never vote for a Democrat. But vote for a man you thought so little of you persisted in running against him when everyone else had folded? Why not just stay home on Election Day and fade away? You must know that, like Pence, there’s no place for you at the Trump table.

@LlamaMountainStudioArts Unfortunately, with the Senate being what it is, impeachments would be impossible. Ask Trump!

@Sr0bi Emphasis on “all.” 😉

#SCOTUS Reforming the Supreme Court, in light of its recent scandals and obvious political partisanship is much needed before it loses all credibility. I recommend a thorough discussion of how it could be done - without violating the Constitution: https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/policy-solutions/supreme-court-term-limits

@MakerWerks @LnzyHou When you have millions of Americans who have been convinced the election of Biden will be the end of this country as we know it (instead of the other way around!), and that if Biden does get elected, it will have been fraudulent, with prominent Republicans refusing to say if they’ll accept the election results (unless Trump wins), we will have riots in the streets. We’re in trouble, peeps. Big trouble. No way can Biden really “win.”

@LnzyHou My view: Even if he’s convicted, and even if the appeal is rejected up to the Supreme Court before the election (I seriously doubt that could happen), if he gets elected, nothing will happen for four years. If he leaves the White House after that - and that’s in doubt - he will be given house arrest at Mar-a-Lago instead of a prison term.

Now that college classes are ending for the summer, where will the protestors go next? The’ll have to wait three months for the Democratic National Convention.

Nope, it’s back! Aargh!

I have no idea what I did except view the settings on my iPad, but now my columns are back to normal. Whew!

@ceorl Didn’t work, but thanks.

Please help this computer-challenged user. My screen on this site now is widened, so I have to scroll sideways to read a post. How do I condense the posts to read like they used to?

Trump today claimed his trial was happening too fast. He didn’t say, “at warp speed,” so he missed that opportunity. But he’s trying to have it both ways. His lawyers are using the delay tactic of not stipulating to anything the prosecution presents, no matter how mundane, forcing all these boring witnesses to testify that, yes, this is the document, this is the tape, etc. It’s putting their client to sleep!

@sfleetucker Yeah, until he decides they’re the worst people that ever walked the Earth.

The defense in the hush money trial is emphasizing how sleazy the prosecution witnesses are. Well, duh. The whole case is sleazy, and reflects on sleazy Trump, the man behind it all. Money WAS paid to sleazy operatives to keep the sleazy stories under the rug in order not to lose votes in the election. Was Davidson running for President? Was Cohen? Was Pecker? No.

@solariohm Ha! Actually, that’s not so incorrect, lacking just an article, and putting “the” before “hospital” would suggest a specific place, rather than a generic situation. So I’m okay with that.

One of my pet peeves: “I graduated college in 1987.” This usage of the verb is becoming more and more prevalent. But it’s wrong. It’s supposed to be, “I graduated FROM college in 1987.” The preposition is needed for the verb; otherwise, the verb makes no sense: You graduated college into what or compared to what?

So what do college basketball coaches say now when they recruit a high school player? “Hey, if you don’t like it after the first (or second, or third) year, you can always transfer to another school?”

There are multiple reasons for players entering the transfer portal: Not enough playing time, the coach left, better NIL prospects elsewhere, etc. The problem is, we have made it too easy to jump ship. And the result is an army of journeymen with no loyalty to a team. And thus, no loyal fan base.

Peter Navarro got a SECOND! emergency hearing at the Supreme Court regarding his incarceration during his appeal. Okay, it was rejected - again - but it speaks volumes about our two-tiered justice system. If you’re rich and connected, you go to the front of the line.
