Are we SURE Halligan in from Colorado? Because the first thing I thought of when I read this transcript was Lauren Caitlin Upton, Miss Teen South Carolina 2007.

Asked "Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can’t locate the U.S. on a world map. Why do you think this is?" Ms. Upton responded with the most glorious word salad this Side of Sarah Palin:

" I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don’t have maps and, uh, I believe that our education, like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as and I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., er should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so that we ill be able to build up our future for our children."

As someone recently observed, "every day is like a dog year" since this administrative clusterfuck began.

O.M.G. Yet one more of thousands of things we see on a weekly basis that all fit into the category of You Can't Make This Stuff Up.

She needs a course in English, Grammar and Composition.

The judge should have thrown her and the case out the window.

I thought that the judges would not be afraid to do their job. They’ve faced criticism before.

Yep! Ole Sarah Palin the defender of America from her porch. The person which was critical of other women for having babies and not married. It was later revealed that her daughter had a baby out of wedlock.

Talk about a life destroyed after she bought into the republican cult. She tried to get her husband fired while they were going to divorce. Thank goodness he was smart enough to stop her vindictiveness.

It makes me sick that the rump clowns preach law and order to invade our cities, file fraudulent lawsuits, appoint unqualified people to cabinet positions. While trump being indicted for 34 felony convictions, sexual misconduct and defends pedophiles and lied to congress doing their confirmation hearings. Yet Bondi, Patel and the liar who was caught in a sting operation by the FBI. Taking 50,000 dollars from them and is on camera doing it. Yet, Bondi and Patel have not investigated them for fraud. Bondi especially since she was the AG in Florida when Epstein was found guilty for sex trafficking minors to foreign countries. She agreed to a plea agreement that allowed a convicted pedophile was set free in Florida to kidnap and rape minor children while only serving 13 months out of thirty years in prison.

This is one of the few things that gives me hope and even joy in the shit-show that is the Trump administration. These people define incompetence.

Trump got himself another not so bright attorney for one more bogus retribution suit. Distraction at its finest.

David, many thanks for this excellent column. You out did yourself again with superb comments relating to the current airhead Halligan. A typical felon pick. It's never about ability, talent or skill. It's always about how they look in a skirt or how they are built. All the maga women look the same but have one thing in common, they have nothing in between their ears. The comparison to the Salem Witch trials was priceless.

On the topic of Bondi, it got lost in the firehouse of corruption that followed, but she was the one who was supposed to prosecute the fraud case against the Trump Foundation (or maybe Trump U?) in Florida. Then Tangerine Cthulhu threw a 5-figure campaign contribution her way, and… poof! No more fraud case in Florida. It didn’t even take six figures.

The charges and specifications should be interesting: What laws is Comey charged with violating, specifically by which actions on which dates, and won’t she have to call Trump to testify as to the truth or falsity of those events. It could be a fun show.
