Most delicious excerpt from the article:

(Presiding Judge) Barrett called out Peters for being “as defiant as a defendant that the court has ever seen” and said he believed Peters would do it all over again if she could. He accused her of seeking fame, despite her claims that she didn’t want attention for her actions.

He said she didn’t respect the courts, law enforcement, government officials or her colleagues, and had abused the power of her position. She didn’t take the clerk role “particularly seriously”, he said, noting she hadn’t completed certification, and that “one scandal after another followed you in your time as the clerk.”

He added, “You are no hero, you abused your position, and you’re a charlatan who used and is still using your prior position in office to peddle a snake oil that’s been proven to be junk time and time again.”

Judge Barrett from the top rope!

Suck it Peters!

WTF is $11K in the face of decimated property values, a ruined ecology, and a gigantic question mark for the personal health of anybody within miles of ground zero?

What a slap in the face. I’d be jihadi-levels of pissed off.

“During the last occasion where plaintiff performed oral sex as demanded by Alvarado-Gil, Plaintiff suffered a back injury while performing in a car seat with his body having to twist and contort in the confined space of the car,” according to the lawsuit. “Plaintiff later went to the doctor and discovered that the injury was more severe, and that plaintiff had suffered three herniated discs in his back and a collapsed hip.”

Condit later underwent hip surgery for his injuries.

Heh heh. Heh. The jokes: they write themselves.

High effort post. Excellent read.

Ew.

Agreed. But even metaphorically, ew.

From the article:

Campaign spokesperson Ammar Moussa said Trump was “throwing tantrums online and today at his country club for the media” because he wasn’t getting the attention he craves.

“The self-obsessed, convicted felon is incensed he’s not in the spotlight as Vice President Harris and Governor Walz barnstorm the nation talking about their vision for an America of opportunity and security — where freedom and democracy are protected and everyone has a fair shot not just to get by, but to get ahead,” he said.

“Trump has no vision, he has no solutions, and he is running a campaign of revenge and retribution to enact his Project 2025 agenda and make people’s lives worse. It’s why voters will reject him again at the ballot box this November.”

Moussa with the beatdown 😬

This after the Harris campaign called Trump “the most insecure man in America.”

That’s gotta sting just a bit.

Why, I thought you’d never ask 😃

It’s when one eye is looking at ya, and the other one’s looking for ya🤪

Heyooo!

But seriously, fuck this piece of human wreckage. Up against the wall with him.

Apparently ol’ Hunsucker’s been self-administering his own eye drops from the looks of him.

‘Bout the worst case of atchaforya I’ve ever had the displeasure to encounter.

Rankled is a kind of default status of most conservatives, and the way I most prefer them to be.

I like them to be discomfited too.

And stilted. Stilted is nice.

Uncanny.

Well said

Looking forward to my next traffic stop so I can mention that crossing guards have a more dangerous job than cops 🫡

Do they though, really?

How did Missouri get so lucky?

Steal his look for less!… oh wait.

Goodness! I am with child to know what end of the political spectrum this fellow most identified with?

Wondering if your vocal control will outlast your other fine motor skills, and therefore have you considered just recording your yourself monologuing anecdotes, impressions, commentary, what have you? I’m reminded of folks’ oft-time lament that they did not record their loved one’s voices in an every day setting and being unable to recall exactly how they sounded after they are gone.

You gotta wade through a lot of bullshit on social media generally, even here in the fediverse which I’m sure we consider to be a cut above. But every once in a while, you strike gold in a post like this. This place is a better place and I am richer for you having posted. I wish you the best of luck here and in the beyond.

I’d posit that piano man is a pompous song by one of the most pompous pricks in pop music, who grows more pompous and self absorbed with every passing moment.
