Jane, Bob is a robot!

Yeah, it's not really legal contempt of Congress unless 60 senators vote in favor, which isn't going to happen. But yes the Department of Clown Justice can still pull out the trick flowers and hose him down.

Stinky set the bar on that one. Trump Invokes Fifth Amendment Nearly 450 Times in NY AG's Civil Probe of His Business Practices

It doesn't matter if it makes sense to me; it only has to make sense to the conspiracy nuts and their associated political pundits. From that perspective, it's a CYA action on Dr. Fauci's part, based on a lawyer's advice. I don't believe that Dr. Fauci is in any way criminally liable, and it's shameful behavior for our government to treat him this way after decades of service to the country. Break out the shame bell...

My understanding is that his attorneys believed Dr. Paul was hoping to trap Dr. Fauci by causing him to speak a falsehood while under oath. (See, for example, Clinton's impeachment over him stating he did not have sexual relations.) That would be a prosecutable offence, since his pardon only covered a fixed period. By taking the fifth, Dr. Fauci escapes that fate. It's all political gamesmanship, and rather a waste of the government's time.

Legally, I think it only needs to happen once. Let them argue whether it's BS in court.

That one time when the President drove the Republican party insane... Senate Homeland Security committee votes to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress Hopefully it's only temporary. But this is shameful for our government. Bring out the shame bell...

Truth Social to sell Wall Street firms the ‘fastest’ access to Trump’s posts Grifter's gonna grift.

Took a while to find this one 'cause the lyrics were hard for me to make out.

US admits 'unfortunate error' after mislabelling countries on map of Africa Heh, I see the administration has fully embraced AI; it aligns perfectly with El Jefe's near complete divorce from reality.

Love the guitar rip.

Earth's Greatest Catastrophes Seem to Follow a Mysterious 27-Million-Year Pulse Seems like this theory, or something like it, has been around for a while now. There was the one about the Nemesis star that had a 26 million year orbit around the Sun.

Hour and a half bridge replacement session at the dentist this morning. My jaw still aches. At least the weather is nice.

Watching Rand Paul go after Dr. Fauci shows how bankrupt the conspiracy theory right has become. But thanks for "saving us from science", Dr. Paul. 🙄

How my mind works sometimes: We all know how the universe works: it's like a machine endlessly and flawlessly repeating the same fixed set of algorithms. Everything we know has evolved out of the randomness of nature. In that case, why would there be a hell to threaten people into living right? That doesn't fit the algorithm. Then it occured to me: if there is an afterlife, wouldn't that constitute proof that we're living in a simulation? I mean, why would it evolve out of an ordinary universe? There you have it: if you go on to an afterlife, it's because we're living in a simulation. The universe programmers need to retrain their living LLMs for the next cycle.
