Me: "Hello?"
Caller: "Hello. May I speak to Julia?"
Me: "I'm sorry but there's no one named Julia at this number."
Caller: "Oh, I must have dialed the wrong number."
Me: "Very possible. Have a good evening."
Caller: "You, too. Thank you."

Me: "My, what a perfect phone call!"

I actually love it when that happens. You get to have an unplanned, pleasant conversation with someone. Sure beats the wrong number calls where the other person just hangs up on your when they realise their error.

Jackasses.

My most recent "perfect phone call".


Me: "Hello?"
Caller: "Hi, I'm Susan from the debt forgiveness foundation..."
Me: "I forgive you, Susan".

Oh, here's mine, from a few years ago:

Me: "Hello?"
Caller: "Hello, I'm calling on behalf of medium/psychic X. Would you--"
Me: "Yeah, I can see in your future that you're about to get hanged up on."
Caller: "Er, I--"
<click>
Me: "Didn't see that coming, did ya?"

That's ridiculous. Everyone knows you have to shoot for the center of mass. You might miss, otherwise.

I don't normally watch the Maddow show but this episode put the whole thing is very clear perspective. Very, very well done.

Go here and click on the tab labeled, "Trump fixation on exonerating Russia entangles Barr, Pompeo"

I came away with the conclusion that Trump is a Russian asset, probably because he owes them (tens of ??) millions of dollars.

Yeah, I've seen it since that post. Insane.

And I agree with your assetsment assessment.

I on the other hand hope they didn't purposefully wait in order to reveal this. That is, I don't mind them holding it back if there was some other purpose in play - honoring the terms of a book excerpt, for example. But not, "Ooh, this would be a great time to break out that immigration thing." I don't want them to be that cynical and manipulative. Not because it's a dirty trick against Trump, but because it would be cynical manipulation of their own readers.

If you only have one shot, fire when it will do the most damage.

And my post was specifically a response to a post about the 'unwavering support' of Trump's base.

Not "comparatively moderate GOP voters".

Although, at this juncture I find it difficult to evaluate the phrase "comparatively moderate GOP voters"'

Compared to what? Attila the Hun? Pol Pot?

Anyone who is "comparatively moderate" by any rational First World standard is going to find it difficult to align their beliefs with today's GOP. Even Reagan Republicans would be (are being?) ostracized by the party for untenable liberalism.

My sister-in-law's parents in law are an example of comparatively moderate GOPers. They're in their mid 70's and have voted GOP every time they've had the chance. They have no love for President Trump but they are anti-abortion and (by UK standards) socially conservative and wouldn't vote for a Democrat because they're all godless communists.
 
Giuliani hired an lawyer. That's par for the course. When you're Trump's lawyer, it's virtually a given that you will need a lawyer. The only question is, will Giuliani's lawyer eventually require a lawyer. That's a 50/50.

Can we stick that tape in the secure vault.


In Nixon's case, if he had someone that stuck up for him, he wouldn't have been motivated to cover up that burglary, he would've let the perpetrators get their just desserts.

<rage> Shoot them dead!
It's illegal to shoot them dead Mr. President.
<rage> Then shoot them in the legs!
It's illegal to shoot them in the legs Mr. President.
<rage> Close the border! Tomorrow!

The staffers who pushed back were purged by the way.

More like a bad comic book villian. No real understanding of what's feasable in terms of law, engineering, ecology, etc.

I keep saying that this is like when Lex Luthor became president, only much more stupid and corrupt. Apparently DC picked up on this as well...

It sounds paradoxical but Lex Luthor has better hair than Trump.

I won the right to be a presidential candidate in California, in a major Court decision handed down yesterday. It was filed against me by the Radical Left Governor of that State to tremendous Media hoopla. The VICTORY, however, was barely covered by the Fake News. No surprise!

Massive sections of The Wall are being built at our Southern Border. It is going up rapidly, and built to the highest standards and specifications of the Border Patrol experts. It is actually an amazing structure! Our U.S. Military is doing a GREAT job.
 
Trump Tweets

Congressman Adam Schiff should resign for the Crime of, after reading a transcript of my conversation with the President of Ukraine (it was perfect), fraudulently fabricating a statement of the President of the United States and reading it to Congress, as though mine! He is sick!

All the Do Nothing Democrats are focused on is Impeaching the President for having a very good conversation with the Ukrainian President. I knew that many people were listening, even have a transcript. They have been at this “stuff” from the day I got elected. Bad for Country!

Now the press is trying to sell the fact that I wanted a Moot stuffed with alligators and snakes, with an electrified fence and sharp spikes on top, at our Southern Border. I may be tough on Border Security, but not that tough. The press has gone Crazy. Fake News!

A moot!


Yes, the idea of a southern wall certainly is moot.
