Actual exchange from court today:
Me: I can't do January 20 for the hearing, your honor, because I'm having surgery, but I can do [dates in February]
Judge: Ordinarily I'd accommodate medical issues, but not for people like you. Attend from the hospital if you have to.

The reason the Trump regime is trying to demolish the entire international order built after World War II is that they think the wrong side won that war.

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

When he finally shows up, they vote him into office.
Twice.

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.
