Otherwise known as Hell Freezing Over?

Real life. We came home from work today with about a foot of snow in the driveway, meanwhile in the City – nada. THIS SNOW LOVER IS NOT COMPLAINING – the Southern Tier of the Southtowns has been getting our fair share of the storms so far this Winter and I LOVE IT.

Yeah, yeah, you all know this about me already* Moving along…

  • omgoodness did I really write that in 2005? Gulp. I do believe this was my first published quip in our local Buffalo News. 

Alternatively – Hell Froze Over last night during the Full Wolf* Moon. (Boy she was a beauty high in the sky this morning after getting out of the snow accumulation!)

  • autocorrect changed this to WOOF moon and I think I’m going to use this name in the future.

MERRICK GARLAND RELEASED (Volume 1) of the Jack Smith report against – you know who, after about 27 challenges to keep it private. I was still doomscrolling close to Midnight and I have to admit confidence was not high. Refresh. Refresh. REFRESHREFRESH – ok, 12:20 — time to log o— WAIT the media has a copy? It’s happening!

And so it did. Special Council Jack Smith Report – Volume One.

I stayed up reading. Mostly reading. Most information we already knew. WE as in AMERICA.

The soul crushing part of reading — most information America already knew. And yet somehow, America chose – well, all — of —

I just can’t. We all know. It is beyond comprehension.

“The Department’s view that the Constitution prohibits the continued indictment and prosecution of a President is categorical and does not tum on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the Government’s proof, or the merits of the prosecution, which the Office stands fully behind. Indeed, but for Mr. Trump’s election and imminent return to the Presidency, the Office assessed that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial.”

I will never be able to reconcile the reality of this timeline.

Fuck SCOTUS. I didn’t read the original ALL HAIL IMMUNITY GOD OF ORANGE decision when it came out last year – only the dissent.

“With fear for our democracy, I dissent.” -Justice Sonia Sotomayor

6 days folks.

6. Days.

I can’t imagine what Volume 2 contains…hell won’t freeze over for that release I’m sure.

Oh and a quick ASIDE for my WNY peeps. I cackled out loud when seeing Ciminelli v. United States cited in the narrative. Cackled as in the I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS IS REAL LIFE kinda way one does when seeing a former Gala Chair/Board Member one used to work alongside mentioned.

What a world, folks.

Bundle up – the path ahead is gonna be chilling.
