I haven't been on the bash Garland train, but I am pissed that an entire YEAR was wasted just to appoint Jack Smith themaguffin Nov 13 #27

Smith was appointed 48 hours after Trump declared his candidacy Fiendish Thingy Nov 13 #30

Indeed, I'm not the arbiter of the truth, only the messenger Fiendish Thingy Nov 13 #61

I'm sure that you believe yourself to be the messenger, rather than the catapult. Orrex Nov 13 #66
