i am trying to take heart

from the fact that this treason is being leaked, and leaked, and leaked.

ic people keep secrets. not all of them are pretty. not all of them are honorable.
i am sure many of them dont always sleep well at night, with what they have seen and done.

but we have crossed a line where patriots can no longer stand by, and remain silent.
they are risking their careers. they are risking their secrets. they are risking their agencies. they are risking everything they have pledged to protect with their lives.
but we have crossed a line.
and now they are risking it all to do the right thing.

take heart.

i hope cheato comes back to an empty white house.

if they are smart, this is a good time for the rats to leave the ship.
heck, if i were the butler, i would boogie.

fingers crossed for the visuals.

anybody know how things go in court for people coming back from colo?

friend of mine has a kid in college in wyoming. they have been visiting often, via colo.
on their way home the other day they hit a deer. the cop smelled weed, searched the car, and found 2 oz.
of course, they charged him w possession.

does anybody have experience w people charged w possession for legally purchased weed in another state? or wyoming in particular?
they looked over the laws, and the possible sentencing is $25k, and/or jail time.
at least they let him go on recognizance.

the kid did just graduate, so he is unlikely to spend much more time there.

he is also looking for a good local lawyer.

eta, he will get a lawyer. his wife works for one of chicago's more high powered law firms. specialty firm, tho. she is putting out feelers, but this might be a little niche where the right guy might be some small local dude, so asking for any referrals.

mental defect is his only defense.

as the walls close in, i predict that the family is suddenly going to become concerned about dear poppy's obviously failing brain.
he will finally be hustled off to walter reed for the full exam that he should have had before the primaries, instead of trying to paper it over w dr hippiestein.

images from the mri will be all over the front pages. we will be regaled w stories of how someone w so little grey matter shouldnt be able to feed themselves, but damn, how well he hid it, how well he coped, how well he carried on being himself.

any bets?

i hope whoever's intel cheato shared has a copy of the tape.

i know right about now, i would be looking to get that into the open.

a shout to moms who are missing their kids today.

to mother's who are grieving the empty space, the phone that didnt ring, the scent of flowers that are not there.
for whatever reason, to those whose children are physically gone,
i dont think there is a deeper gully in the world like that of a mother who has buried a child. not a darker place. a hole in the heart that never fully heals.

and to those who are estranged from your kids, for whatever reason, i join you in wishing this day would be over already.
especially if you were hoping the phone might ring, but it didnt.

sadly mom's are made of clay, like everyone else.
marriage and family are incredibly complex. shit runs down hill. and in many families mom is the bottom of the hill.
i suspect my generation, when women finally had choices, those of us that chose motherhood in a big way were pretty torn about it. i know i was.
but there are a million reasons why we fall out as families.
the hole is deep.
and there is distance.
and there is illness.
and there is slipping away.



peace and love to all momma's w a hole in their life.

i loves me some jeremy bash.

watching andrea mitchell and jeremy bash discussing flynn.
and also susan rice/unmasking.

i have loved seeing him, laying out what the rules really are and just how not normal all of this is. always detailed, concise and calm recitation of the relevant facts. i repeat that, relevant.
