I think that's probably missing the point - from Trump's perspective at least.
It's not about what's obvious to your eyes. You don't count because you would never vote for Trump. What this legal defense and process of appeals and outcries on social media is about is to create plausible deniability for Trump Supporter and Possible Trump Supporter. It's about Trump being a victim. It's about delay, deflect and make a lot of noise so people stop paying attention. It's about giving the right wing biased part of the mdeia circus the opportunity to create alternate realities and spin, spin, spin. And any legal delay, process, appeal - whatever ... it will all get used to exhaustion.

Having a conversation with a friend years ago, and the subject of envy came up. I remember telling her "I don't really envy people with lots of money. I have enough money to live the way I want. I don't really envy people who wield power. That was never a bug that bit me. I do envy two well-known people: Yo-Yo Ma and Sting. And the reason I envy those two is because both of them can simply pick up a phone, call any fantastic musician from any style they might want to play with, and hear the word 'yes' automatic."
Wiki the personnel on 'Nothing Like the Sun,' the album which featured EINY. It will blow your mind.

You may wish to wait until they they judge on the case before casting judgement on their decision. I'm still not sure why they even heard that case. But what makes it worse is all this bantering about what is official and what is not. For me it's pretty simple. Obama order the killing of Bin Laden... That's gotta be official right? Trump ordered the killing of Bagdaddy (sp) and that's official right? But if the President instigates a riot at the capital in an effort to change the outcome of an election, that's gotta NOT be an official act... RIGHT? I watched this unfold on J6...I know what I witnessed with my own eyes.. All the spin in the world will NOT change it. All the attempts by Republicans to spin this after having said that Trump did indeed do it, seem like amateur hour.. FOX News looks like the Hacks they are. Oh gees and all the attempts to get people to believe it was ANTIFA or BLM, that's a joke right? The thousand or so people convicted, all BLM right? These men and women in Blue were under fire from these domestic terrorists and now these people that are protecting Trump seem not to care about that at all... Party of law and order my ass. Again, there isn't a reason for them to even have taken this up.

Guardians lost the series but I was very impressed by them.
I live in Atl. so I watch all their games. I have been a fan of the Braves since they were in Milwaukee.
But I also have been a Cleveland fan.
The Guardians grind out their at bats. They work the count. They don't strike out. They show patience at the plate.
They have good pitching. IMO they will win the Central.
Fun team to watch. I am expecting a good season. When they bring up Manzardo. He will add some power. Hopefully at the trade deadline they add some pieces.

Dunno why people are tripping about this. Every time this SCOTUS has made a ruling, it came back to bite conservatives in the butt.
Please, justices. Give the dems another reason to show up to vote in mass like you did with abortion.

The absurdity of questioning an "official act" as president defies any sense of logic.
As president an "official act" could be the president decides to sell nuclear codes to a US adversary Kim Jong Un.
I mean him trump exchanged heart felt love letters.
And trump would claim immunity. Just brilliant. Bravo for SCOTUS.

Baseball will sometimes be all about minutiae.
The Guardians score 2 runs and not a ball gets out of the infield.
Sean Murphy pulled an oblique in the first game and has not played since.
Travis d'Arnaud plays about a third in the rotation with Murphy. Chadwick Tromp is a third string catcher with about 10 MLB at bats.
d'Arnaud gets pitched run for. Tromp comes up with the bases loaded and strikes out on three pitches none of which were near the strike zone.
Barlow gets out of bases loaded with nobody out.
Minutiae.
Rubber match today.

Great game tonight. Excellent starting pitching on both sides. Barlow managed to pull one out of his butt. Good to see. Rubber game tomorrow.

I have gotten paid for making toilets, scabbing in a brass foundry, teaching, gardening, tending bar, writing, bar DJ, and landscaping to name a few. Then I retired, and I found out that I could get paid for that.
Since then, being retired is what I have done best, it pays well enough, and I have decided to stick with it, thanks for asking.

And crippling to watch. Painful for true fans. I can't believe that I watched us blow about a ten point lead again and lose by 20+. We left many of the same folks out there; second game of missing tons of threes. Our coaches watched it again with many of the same people left out there. We did some damage in the paint and forcing the ball to the rim. And stopped. We are lazy getting back. This next game will probably be more of the same. Saw some real quit today.

I write stuff -about almost anything really - and take pictures of old folks, kids and adults playing sports, houses burning to the ground, old folks working at soup kitchens, ladling soup, and occasionally interview semi-famous people: three Canadian prime ministers and about a dozen hockey hall of famers, a couple of them legendary, and people who aren’t famous but have interesting stories of their own to tell. It’s a good thing I can string a few sentences together because it’s the only thing that I do well enough that people will give me money to do it.
