Here's some encouraging news: I volunteer with an organization that assists older folks to remain living in their homes. Today, I visited an 81-year-old who has dementia. Her younger sister (@ 79) was there, too. Having gotten to know them a bit, I had assumed they were Republicans, although 1/

Oh, and one more thing: I then told them I'd marched in SF last Saturday, and B said: We were [protesting] in San Carlos! I was blown away. :)

Are there protests yet at the single, small road link from the Coast Guard island to the rest of the Bay?

This almost seems like inviting a long-term protest there.

So I cautiously, and with some doubt, asked, “are you Democrats?” B replied "We are NOW!” 😊 END

I'd avoided talking politics in the past. When I arrived, the younger one ("B") was helping her sister ("E") fill out the California ballot on Prop. 50 (to gerrymander the map to favor Democrats). To my surprise, B was telling E to check the box by "yes." 2/

It looks pretty obvious, to me, that Wolff's suit is designed to make M. Trump back off of her threats, rather than to actually pursue the litigation. Doesn't mean he won't pursue it if she doesn't agree to settle, but all the threats HE makes of what he'll do with his suit is *not* what an 1/

Are those the benefits that were available to RFK when he was a child? Because somehow, despite them all, he became a heroin addict, among other unhealthy things.

If Anna were *not* a journalist, then there would be no argument at all against her repeating or publishing anything Halligan told her.

My apologies, Anna. I saw the reference to "niece" and, not knowing that a great-niece was involved, I assumed you were referring to the wrong property (which, actually, James' lawyer, Lawrence O'Donnell and commentators had done). My bad.

What's wrong with you? I'm "purposely" not doing something? My point is that I have insider information? You've got quite an imagination.

I am not confused about this. Her lawyer was, before he read the indictment, as were several commentators on MSNBC.

Alternatively, read the relevant dates provided in the indictment; then read her attorney's letter to DOJ arguing for no prosecution, specifically, the exhibits showing dates that do not match those alleged in the indictment. (Because her lawyer also assumed it was the house bought for the niece.)

Google it yourself. Several commentators initially assumed it was the house the niece was to live in. They were wrong. She owns 2 homes in VA and the one referenced in the indictment is NOT the one she bought for her niece.

Many assumed the house in question was one that James purchased for her niece to live in. It was not; it was another house in VA. This one: www.union-bulletin.com/news/nationa...

Fine. So everyone will just re-incorporate in a state that doesn't change those laws.
