In one piece of not news, local morning news shows all suck. I just needed to relate this to you because I took a chance on being informed about my area. I was not. In the words of Tara the Antisocial Social Worker:
I’ve read all the books on “How to Even” and “How to Literally Even,” and still, I can’t even.
I concur, and will add more thoughts soon.
But first, a word from our sponsors ...

Okay, so I learned one thing from the local news. The Raiders’ stadium deal in Vegas hit a snag and the team may have to stay in the Bay one year longer than expected. I am weeping real tears for the owners of the team but I am glad that one of the best fan bases in the country will get one last season in the sun. You didn’t hear this from me, but there’s a lot to love about the East Bay’s relationship with the Raiders. But, yeah ...
Okay, so on to Washington. I don’t have a damn clue. I am thankful to have DK to be able to check in on what’s happening. Because my local news sure ain’t doing it. But there are pictures of people with their moms. So I’m caught up on that front. (sorry Mom)
Finally, CBS gave over to the national broadcast. Bless and keep you Charlie Rose.
What the hell was that Lester Holt interview with the president anyway? I’m freaking the hell out, officially. Just saying.
So, I’m just going to throw this up for discussion. Watch the interview if you haven’t. Or just check in to talk about Abbot and Costello. I don’t care. I just need to chat about the absurdity of something.
who you got in the Boy Scouts v Mormon Church brouhaha?
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down.

This comment by Bunkerhobbit makes an amusing observation regarding Trump's current situation, mentally, legally and physically.
from susans:
The president needs a good lawyer and the American people now have evidence that popular vote loser Trump has the best. evidenced here
from Canyon Wren:
This comment seemed especially on-point today, and every day, given what we are up against w/r to Christian ideology and the Republican Party. In Dartangan's diary titled: "Yes, Republicans Are Perfectly Willing to Betray This Country."
from Otteray Scribe:
In P Carey's Morning Open Thread - Unplugged, BOHICA had a graphic comment that explains everything. The answer is revealed! here
