Casa Brillig is back at full capacity for the next several months! I drove 400 miles last Tuesday, then logged literally two MILES on my fitbit Wednesday going up and down three flights of stairs moving K1 out of her dorm, and then drove 400 miles back. We had a great road trip back, and it’s wonderful to have her home! I’ve been a little out of the loop for a bit settling her back in, so apologies for being absent so often.
And yet in the midst of all this… Grab a strong beverage and head below the story fold after a word from our long-suffering sponsor…

For I don’t know how many days now (OK, I do know how many — 480 days) I’ve been wondering one simple question:
Really?? He's still President??!
Every new revelation has brought a chorus of “This will be the Thing that brings him down”.
- Pee Tapes.
- Hush Money To Adult Film Stars.
- Incompetent Cabinet Picks.
- Every Damned Thing Mueller Says.
Yet, four hundred eighty days later, he’s still here wreaking havoc on our country and our world. People are dying, literally, because of his actions. Others are having family members deported or imprisoned, while still others are losing jobs no one but the Narcissist-in-Chief and his sycophants thought would remain.
I know that the wheels of justice are turning and that one day he will either resign, or be impeached. But as the songs go, How long? How long must we sing this song? I am tired of waiting.
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 I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks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.
Note: Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments? Contact brillig.
From 2thanks:
I'm nominating collardgreens' comment in today's Good News Roundup, not just for the angst-in-these-times comment itself, but for oldhippiedude's long and heartful response.
From Otteray Scribe:
It is all Shockwave's fault. Shockwave posted this picture comment in annieli's diary about Inglorious #basta, and the thread almost spun out of control.
From MikeTheLiberal:
Here’s a funny little story from gchaucer2, reminding us that we’re all human, from ursulafaw’s diary Avenatti Taking Heat For Being So High Profile, He Pushes Back Forcefully. Remember, if we don’t laugh, we go insane.
From gchaucer2:
Highlighted by ursulafaw:
In the same diary, is this comment, by exlrrp, about 45’s problems with simple arithmetic, as pertains to bankruptcies. With this reply, ursulafaw expands it to cover another relevant issue!
Top Mojo ala mik!
