That’s good.  Should cut down on the hysterical laughter.

The requirement for wigs ( in most cases ) was done away with some 10 years back apparently. Useless factoid: judges & lawyers in the US wore them until the mid 19th century.

Don’t ruin it for us buddy!

Actually they don’t. Barristers were absolved of wearing them in 2007, judges in 2011.

That’s why they are having an investigation at all — it’s punishment for the book. Whether they’ll actually investigate anything is quite another question.

I remember this one. It was great! No heavy slumber for me until Tuesday after the polls close — in fact, I’m having my last postcard party Friday early evening, then hustling the cards to the nearest big post office, so they hit the mails on Saturday morning and get to upstate NY by Monday/Tuesday.  Cross your…

Wow, beautiful. Made me tear up. 

The answer is yes (it was a rhetorical question); the point of court hearings is to allow both sides to present their arguments in the hope of influencing the court in its decision(s).

“Republican-controlled Senate investigates peripheral issues related to Donald Trump being bought and paid for by the Russians.  Film at 11.”

“We investigated him and found no signs of intelligence anywhere."

Yeah, once you’ve read Lies, nothing abut how First nations people are treated will surprise you any more. Infuriate, yes. Surprise, no.

Still, it’s tiring, isn’t it?

I hope we pay Mueller well-like, really well. Think about the caricatures of humanity he has to formally interview!

Oh, true that. This is what happens when you let him get away with smaller things - he just escalates. The next thing you know:

This is absolute bullshit. For court we don formal attire: our class A’s or equivalent. The Yakima Nation Council chairman WAS wearing his formal attire. Completely appropriate given that the court was hearing a matter between his nation and the United States.

“the court is not to be subject to outside influence.”

Tomorrow, he’ll promise everyone a pony.

Obviously so the tax cut can be blocked by Democrats and Republicans can blame them once they lose control over congress—even though they never had any intention of passing it to begin with.

come on - promising tax cuts is such a generic and overused GOP schtick that few pay attention to it anymore. Promoting race wars, insisting that the media is lying to the American people, promising to burn the Constitution... much more effective tactics for the brain dead republicans to soak up.
