Open Thread - Thurs 04 Dec 2025 - Hmmm, Knew It...

Hmmmm, Knew It...

Sometimes, things are just like I figured, even if I don't really want them to be.

A couple of weeks ago I happened across a news story on Common Dreams about Trump and his case against former FBI directory James Comey. Now, I'm not a fan or supporter of Comey's in any way, and yea, he probably did make some false statements. Who in government doesn't do that? But, I saw the title and the main picture of this story and suddenly understood exactly how this attorney got appointed.

Here's the pic:

Trump 'hand picked' and appointed this lawyer, this very nice looking young woman (Lindsey Halligan), as an interim attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. And this is ok, I guess, but she has no experience at all as a prosecuting attorney, she was an insurance lawyer. And Trump knew her from the past, because she had competed in one of his beauty pageants! And Trump fired the attorney who held the position before her and wouldn't bring the case to court, because the charges against Comey lacked evidence!

I think this little story shows exactly why I turn my head away from paying much attention to the news now, from any angle and any side. Why couldn't people see this about Trump (or any of the other ding-dongs in power) before? It was frapping obvious when he was doing that wrestling crap... sheez.

Alright, enough of that. Here's a fun holiday song to start the season off with: I think I'm more of a SnowMiser than a HeatMiser, but I like them both!

Ok, here's the open thread! What's up, whatcha doing? Reading? Thinking? Listening to? Remember, everything is interesting if you dive deep enough, so tell us about where you're diving!

Almost Friday and the weekend! Hope every one is doing well. I'm going to be spending part of Friday and Saturday watching concerts on nugs.net by the Mavericks, or, most of the Mavericks. We've followed the Mavericks a bit on this site, Otc and JtC even posted some concerts they'd been to (those were great!). Well, the band is most likely retiring this weekend, and I thought I'd watch their last concerts on nugs. This is a concert, over two nights, to honor the Maverick's lead singer, Raul Malo. He's quite sick with cancer, at 'only' 60. Very sad, very sad.

I'll enjoy the good music, the memories and hope for the best for Raul and everyone else! Have a great Thursday and weekend, y'all!

Appointing a beauty queen to be a district attorney
sounds about right for the ring master of the clown show
which the present administration performs.

Not sure if I'm ready for the Christmas commercial season.
But it is what it is.

Thanks for the OT!

Zionism is a social disease

Trump surrounding himself with attractive women is his way of compensating for his shortcomings. It started with Tulsi. She is a photo op, nothing else.
That Mavericks concert was as great as any concert we have ever attended. We have been expecting retirement news for months.
Must get ready for a trial this morning, so everyone keep rolling along!
