Oh, DG, oh, BG, my fiancee and I are so sorry that donald was indicted after you recorded your podcast. It really is a dreadful shame. I know y'all would have done a splendid job of helping your listeners celebrate the happy occasion and reflect thoughtfully on what is to come.
Well, the indictment is only the beginning. Months and years of trials, convictions, sentencings, more indictments, more trials and so on lie ahead of us. I do not doubt that donald will spend the rest of his life in courtrooms, if not in jail, or prison.

I am not a judge but I did sleep well in my own bed last night. I know I would shield the jurists from the public. Keep close monitoring of any threatening messages to his <AGA clan. As the judge I would issue a cease and desist to the House of Representatives on any further interference.

I heard that "Individual One " feller will get another mint of media glory.
The press keeps driving home that Trump is going to raise money off his victimhood. Suggesting we all donate for some reason. They advertise it for him.

Now it began and he will still drag this out with all sorts of Warner Brothers ACME devices.

My advice to Individual One, Don't be shy or scared. Take the stand and tell the jury , "Truth is they need him on that wall, what he did saves asses (his) and he would order the CODE STORMY again"."

Reagan sold weapons to a country he deemed a terrorist nation, laundered the money through Israel, funneled to The illegal war in the contras. Defying congress. Not even a censure.
Nixon got to resign as if losing his job of power was enough and then pardoned.
Bill Clinton has consensual sex between consenting adults out of wedlock. Impeached an with a censure and had his law license suspended. They almost removed him.
GW Bush and Cheney crime spree. Lied us into war, outed undercover CIA agent and much more. VP Cheney's top aid "Scooter" Ends up convicted and then sentence commuted.
No impeachments no censures.
Obama, almost impeached for wearing a tan suit, passing ACA, Not wearing a American flag pin like all the republicans.
Trump, In bed with Putin, extorting Ukraine, pausing hush money, Firing FBI director to stop Russia investigation, Insurrection, stealing top secret documents and obstructing their return and so much more.
Impeached twice and acquitted by GOP twice.

All this and all I got to show for the rule of law in America is this Stormy hush money case. One thing for sure is, he sure convinced Putin if he invades Ukraine that he had USA set up to let it happen. Donny really conned Putin on that one.

Good morning, DG and BG.

I can truthfully say I got chills hearing you read my words on air, and offer some response. Sincere thanks.

Great episode as always. Thanks for all you do.

A picture of software I actually owned?

Would I be showing my age in saying this was the 4th assembly language I learned?

Dangit, I never got around to writing that letter I had composed in my head after you said you were doing a letters show. Just know that it involved a lot of snow and a nice bearded man from the Christian Camp who we paid to shovel some of it.
I can so relate to your friend from the UK. I was 47 when a stroke stopped me dead in my tracks (well, not actually dead, luckily) and all of my work history was in jobs that were one shade of physical work or another. Next month is fifteen years.
Thank you again for the podcast. Briana just drove off to go get the next step in probate taken care of for the house in Humboldt County we plan to live in some day, so it's just me and the cat holding down the fort still encased in a slowly diminishing snow bank.
