I realized that from now on he's Lord Ca Ca to me.
"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date. I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it." Jack Levine: January 3, 1915 – November 8, 2010 LEVEL BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE

Reading About Tucker Carlson's Emasculation By Putin Just Now
Dump Garland
THE OUTRAGEOUS deceptive structure and partisan bias of the Robert Hur report on President Biden's retention of classified materials is just the latest of the many obvious bad judgements of Merrick Garland. I'd have said before the loss of his membership of the Supreme Court was mitigated by his bad judgement and all-too-lawyerly cowardice in avoiding criticism from those who had blocked his nomination, once he became Attorney General. Now his idiotic enablement of Republican-fascism in his appointment of Hur, who obviously briefed himself as an unofficial operative of the Trump campaign should be the final nail in the coffin of his career. If I were President Biden I'd wait till after the election and fire him, especially if he wins reelection, having such a Republican-enabling jackass in that position will do him and the country no good.
After listening to the Harvard product as sits on the Court yesterday I'm in favor of a long term moratorium on the appointment of the graduates of Harvard Law to the courts and other positions in the legal realm. Hearing them seemingly not realizing that states keep people off of ballots ALL THE FRIGGIN' TIME and for less weighty and democracy threatening reasons was the final straw. I am convinced that those elite law schools that prepare elites for profitable and, or eminent careers in the lawyer industry produce self-protecting cowards who ill serve the People of the United States and egalitarian democracy. The same can be said, generally, of the products of other Ivys and Ivy equivalent schools of law. I will say again that during the House hearings on that led to Trump's first impeachment for trying to involve the Ukrainian government in his efforts to sandbag Joe Biden, I was stunned at how all of the courage, risking themselves in service to the People and democracy, came from the diplomats and the military officers as the lawyers pretty well stuck to covering their own asses. These years of observing, not only the things lawyers get away with and cover up for each other over BUT THE CONDUCT OF THE COURTS, JUDGES IN MANY CASES BEING AS OPENLY PARTISAN AS JAMES COMEY AND ROBERT HUR HAVE BEEN BUT GETTING AWAY WITH IT WITH NO ISSUES BEING RAISED, has made me far more cynical about the lawyering industry and its senior branch on the bench, certainly none so deserving of such cynicism as the Supreme Court.
President Biden, I'm begging you, as soon as the election is over, fire Garland, don't be sentimental about it due to him losing the court seat, you gave him his chance and he has repeatedly reenacted "the laws delay" and not infrequently it's forfeiture. Find someone who will not be partisan BUT WHO WON'T BE THE GODDAMEND REPUBLICAN-FASCISTS' HANDMAIDEN. Democratic Presidents from Carter to you have suffered for the bad choices their Attorneys General have made, for their scrupulosity in wanting to avoid the cabloids and tabloids and liars in the media making the slightest criticism of them and the clearly cowardly and corrupt Department of Justice. Since it's clear not even the Supreme Court under Republican-fascism is not pretending to be "even-handed" in the administration of "justice," there's no reason not to play that same game for the angels instead of the spawn of Satan. Dump Garland.

I'm not big on nil nisi bonum,
so I'll leave it at I'll never think of Toby Keith without thinking of the pro-lynching song he sang at Trump's inauguration non-star concert. I agree with Natalie Maines' shirt. What happens to him now isn't my responsibility.
Update: I wonder why when someone like that dies, they say he's a country music legend, or he's a show-biz legend. Legends are make believe, I'd rather be remembered for reality not PR bull shit.
