By my count, a new administration will be inaugurated in 'just' 500 days. I count differently from some of the popular countdown clocks, because I know that inaugurations happen at noon, not midnight.

Recent Bluessky Posts- Israel may notch some tactical successes with its aggressive policies against West Bank settlers, Gaza, Southern Lebanon, and of course maybe maybe Iran, but I foresee a major strategic defeat in the expansion & entrenchment of international pariah status plus loss of support (and $) from the US.

- So I know the USAO say that the error was not due to “lack of diligence and care” by the signing attorneys. If they’re underbussing the ICE attorneys I fully expect them to waive privilege between ICE counsel and the USAO on this, and for ICE counsel to testify about whether this was intentional.

If Only… If only there was a way you could speed that clock up.
Wally, Please don’t speed up the clock! By my estimate we have 72 more constitutional violations, foreign policy blunders, blatant criminal acts, and devestating blows to the economy left in this administration… give or take a war. I’m barely able to handle them at the usual rate. Crowding them together into only a hundred days, for example, might destroy my will to live.
I want as much time as possible to collect evidence of criminal activity. Since impeachment is apparently off the table there is nothing else to do but start investigations and … um I think the next step is fail to receive requested documents and then no effective follow-up…
And again we are supposed to sit around and patiently ignore this. For 17 months.

Haha thanks for that Mojo, i havn’t laughed this hard for a week 🙂
The clocks appropriately named as well, “Hold On For…” Yes hold on indeed it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
Carly,
LACJ,
Everytime you speak, the world is worse off. Try to stay on topic buddy. You made a fool of yourself in last week’s postings, please don’t repeat it again this week.
Perhaps consider taking a class in Political Science?
If only there was a countdown until you refrain from posting on discourse.net…
