The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals just dropped a 29 page ruling on TFG, siding with the DOJ that classified materials are classified, that TFG had provided zero evidence he’d declassified anything when he infested the Oval Office, and that he had no purpose to possess US government documents.  Key quote:

“[Mr. Trump] has not even attempted to show that he has a need to know the information contained in the classified documents.  Nor has he established that the current administration has waived that requirement for these documents. And even if he had, that, in and of itself, would not explain why plaintiff has an individual interest in the classified documents.”

The ruling went further to say that the Special Master, Judge Dearie, had no need to review any classified documents and ordered the removal of those documents from those he was to review.  This ruling cleared the way for the FBI to continue its criminal investigation into TFG’s hoarding of highly sensitive documents and his obstruction to stop the DOJ from recovering them.

Oh, and two of the three judges on the panel were TFG appointees.

Bad day for TFG, good day for democracy. Boom.

The sky got a little brighter today when Rush Limbaugh died at age 70.  He announced sometime ago that he had stage 4 cancer and died from that today.  Limbaugh spent almost 30 years spewing bile and hatred over the radio waves culminating in Trump ruining the reputation of the Medal of Freedom by awarding it to Rush last year.

I’m not shedding any tears.  If that sounds harsh, it’s intended to be.

In a pre-dawn raid, the US just conducted a missile strike at the airport in Baghdad that killed General Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s elite Quds force and the head of the Iraqi militia, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.  Internatonal crude prices are up sharply in the last hour on rumors of war with Iran.

Strap in.  Trump’s trying to start a war with Iran to distract from his problems at home.

Yesterday, in Forbes, the bastion of politics only for the benefit of business, Larry Kotlikoff, financial analyst and retirement planner, called Trump an “economic traitor”.  Yes, he used the word traitor.  In the piece, he lays out how Trump is INTENTIONALLY wrecking our economy, just because he can.  He calls for his removal from office before he does any more damage.  When writers for Forbes start ringing the alarm bells, the house is on fire and it’s time to start running.  Read the piece here.

There is a time for anger, and THIS is it.
