Don’t worry. The cut-out is just as smooth as he is.

It will corrode steel.

I didn’t think about that (seeing it was supposed to be a joke) but you’re right. I imagine it acts as an acid.

… a courtesy typically extended to former presidents after they have left office

Is it normal for ex-presidents to receive intelligence briefings? I’ve never been aware of that.

That was my immediate reaction as well.

It seems like another example of how much of the country seems to run on traditions and unwritten rules rather than considering all of the ways that bad actors could ruin everything.

Too many rules imprison the virtuous as well as the vile. the general scheme, was conceived around the idea that the various offices of government owed their power to independent constituencies, and therefore had motivation to act in a independent manner—-perhaps even in the interest of “liberty” I believe this conceit was disproven quite early on— perhaps during the administration of James Madison. Which would be ironic since he conceived of the bloody thing.

Hypothesis disproven. time to move on.

This is slightly over a week old, but since Orly Taitz is such a trainwreck…

Orly does quote article II, section 4 correctly, so she gets a point for that. She loses points, however, for choosing to center-justify the text in the complaint, which is inexplicable, and for other crimes against typography and grammar that are too numerous to mention.

If I felt like piling on, and I do, I’d mention that I checked the docket and found that Orly has already made at least three bush-league mistakes in the first week: (1) an e-filing issue, which is common; (2) failure to file a “notice of interested parties”; and (3) far more importantly, failure to serve the defendants before moving for injunctive relief (which she did on the 26th). Not improper service; no service at all . The court denied her motion for that reason, sadly without further comment. She has since fixed those mistakes, though I have a feeling her attempt to serve Schumer and the VP is not going to hold up. I am in possession of her amended motion, which I will probably turn to again after she loses. But I am absolutely going to mention, right now, the name of the one “interested party” she listed on the notice:

"Donard J. Trump"

Gee, she spelled “Dotard” wrong.

I think all of Donald Trump’s associates have been on a commiserating codependent drinking binge. For about a decade now.

Just like everyone else, in some ways, but shit, you gotta sober up for a little while sometime.
