Judge Jeanine: If you thought Trump, Bloomberg were similar, think again.
“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.”
His soul stretched tight across the skies
That fade behind a city block,
Or trampled by insistent feet
At four and five and six o’clock;
And short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, and eyes
Assured of certain certainties,
The conscience of a blackened street
Impatient to assume the world.
I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.
Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.
— Eliot
I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this
air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their
parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
— Walt Whitman
The scientists are in terror
and the European mind stops
Wyndham Lewis chose blindness
rather than have his mind stop.
Night under wind mid garofani,
the petals are almost still
Mozart, Linnaeus, Sulmona,
When one’s friends hate each other
how can there be peace in the world?
Their asperities diverted me in my green time.
A blown husk that is finished
but the light sings eternal
a pale flare over marshes
where the salt hay whispers to tide’s change
Time, space,
neither life nor death is the answer.
And of man seeking good,
doing evil.
In meiner Heimat
where the dead walked
and the living were made of cardboard.
Gerard Van der Leun

I’m in love with a brown eyed woman.
It’s not that Jeanine (or Warren) is such a good speaker, it’s that Bloomberg is such a bad speaker.
I’ve spoken one on one with a number of politicians over the years and without exception every one of them stumbles frequently when required to speak forthright. In my opinion the reason is that they necessarily must educate themselves in a broad range of subjects therefore they cannot be experts in the details of any of the subjects. You can see this yourself when you watch any of the talking head shows on sunday morning MSM. The host will ask the pol a Q and s/he’ll use a number of cheap tactics to stall while s/he gathers their wits, and then never really answers the question. Tim Russert was notorious for circling back around and hitting them with the same question worded differently and again the pol would falter. All you have to do is scratch the surface a little bit to draw blood and they will run. Going back to the early 80’s I have spoken directly to about 8 politicians at the state and national level on a variety of topics and I found all of them to be very shallow in knowledge to where I questioned their intellectual capacity. People expect politicians to be more than human and give them rights that are beyond human and then are disappointed when all they are is human, or a little less. There is no perfect human and there is no perfect politician so the votist is left in the unsavory position of choosing from damaged goods (the lesser of two evils) and is almost always disappointed. It’s the nature of the game, and it’s a game I refuse to participate in because frankly NO ONE is good enough to rule over me. So I live like an outlaw on the run in a land filled with criminals and their enablers.
I am relieved Judge Judy is on “our” side. Wow, that lady has intestinal fortitude, plus.
Correction: Judge Jeanine. Very sorry for the name mess up.
I agree with Ghost….however, I have come to the realization that “The perfect if the enemy of the good.” Therefore I will vote for Trump. He is not perfect, but he is a far cry from the radical hate -America shit-fuckery that opposes him.
While it was fun to watch Fauxcahontas tear strips off Mini Mike, the thought of that hectoring harridan lecturing us as POTUS makes me shiver.
Terry,
No worry on a minor slip. Judge Judy can be fun to watch, but she is a Bloomberg fan and gun hater. Judge Jeanine is a fireball!
If the dems have a brokered convention,
it will be Hillary for president and Michelle
Obama for vice president.
Fireball, yes, snakepit. And here she’s literally, dare I say it, “Burning down the house…..”
Jeanine is a firestorm, a force with which to reckon and I wouldn’t want her tail grabbing me for any reason but anyone who pays attention to Bloomberg could put him in a corner, go full Tyson on him, and make him look like a fool.
Let me make it clear. I really dislike Bloomberg. He’s a dishonest, heartless tyrant and if he was investigated he’d likely be cooling his heels in a Federal penitentiary somewhere but….. His guardance of the privacy of his offensive comments and his out of court settlements regarding his social screw ups, are and should be (in my opinion), his private affair. Everyone knows he’s an enormously rich and thoughtless, power broker asshole but he still deserves a certain guarantee of privacy.
The women who entered into deals with him did so upon their own volition and most certainly at the direction of their attorneys. These women could have pressed charges but instead they opted for a cash payoff in agreement for their silence on the matter. They may a deal…good, bad or otherwise and they should honor it.
The other political piranhas in the American communist party should simply have to live with it. Fuck Elizabeth Warren and her sanctimonious gutting. He’s pretty honest about who he is but she isn’t about who she is.
There are so many things that do not recommend Bloomberg but the ones the left throws at him are not it.
& on her Wikipedia page: “Police subsequently charged her with driving 119 miles per hour in upstate New York.”
Yep, I love her.
even tho she has bigger balls than i, i still love her.would never ever want to face that as a defendant in her courtroom.
Vanderleun,
I don’t know if she is Italian, Greek, etc. but yes, Jeanine is easy to look at.
simma down
she’s old enough to be your mammy
She could be my first wife in her prime. And I approve heartily.
Well, GS, in my case, old enough to be my slightly older big sister, which is……….close enough!
Judge Jeanine’s parents are from Lebanon. She was born in Elmira NY.
Lots of Lebanese Christians came here when the Islamists turned Beirut into yet another Muslim s**thole.
Like another Lebanese-American,Brigitte Gabriel,Judge Jeanine is fiercely pro-America,and fearless in her speech.
