Life of Wry

What a sweet, sweet day.

Most of those of us following the hush money – election fraud trial were resigned to having to wait another day for a verdict. I was stair climbing and power walking around the creek (in my new boots!), listening to CNN (as I do). Taking my cues from pundits who’d surmised the deliberations would go at least another day, I’d shifted over to a podcast (Pod Save America was particularly good today). I checked in briefly with CNN while having a cup of coffee at Cloud Forest and learned the jury was wrapping for the day… In fact, I believe the judge had actually already excused them. On my way home, I dropped by Crepeville to chat with Jim for a couple minutes then as I was heading out decided to check CNN one last time to be sure nothing of note was going to happen and heard Jake Tapper say something to a guest like, “are you surprised there will be a verdict today?”

A verdict!!! What?!

So… in the great tradition of where were you when you heard the news: I was walking through Central Park on a gloriously beautiful day! I hurried home and turned on CNN, made myself a giant blueberry chocolate smoothie and was at full attention as I listened to Jake read the outcome of all 34 counts: GUILTY x 34.

CONVICTED FELON! I love the sound of that.

Accountability for something. Finally.

I did a LOT of happy yelling and swearing. So happy!

So, that was about 2:30 our time and it’s 11:30 now… I’ve been luxuriously immersed in all the post verdict analysis for about 9 hours, minus a bit of speed food shopping and a quickly consumed dinner. Def can’t get enough of this.

CONVICTED FELON!

I just hope to god the Biden people figure out their messaging and get out there quickly. The Magas are well-oiled and falling in line right now behind their beloved CONVICTED FELON, honing their aggrieved, whiny, victimy little narrative and raising lots of money already. These people shockingly have no trouble electing a guy who, in addition to now being a convicted felon, has ALSO been found guilty of business fraud (and is paying hundreds of millions in fines for that), AND slander AND sexual assault (for which he’s also paying out tens of millions (I forget how much), AND is charged with stealing (and lying about) classified documents, AND conspiracy to steal an election, AND fomenting an insurrection to overthrow the government. And these fools also seem not to mind his LIFETIME of cheating and questionable morals and ethics.

So, hurry up Biden messaging people. We got this.

Did you know that a convicted felon cannot serve in the US military? But he can serve as commander in chief. A convicted felon in Florida cannot vote or serve on a jury or own a fire arm. But he can be president.

Anyway, so that’s the wonderful news of the day. Here are some great memes from the funny people, plus headlines, mag covers, etc.

And I thought this was interesting … his lead lawyer.

And, our hero:

Well done, Alvin.
