"Actual Malice"


By Zamboni

Arrests are starting in Ottawa, with a promise from the city police that this weekend will look far different from the last three. We'll see. Meanwhile, there have been a ton of breaking political news stories in the United States, and maybe we should mention two or three.

Benedict Donald and two of his spawn have been ordered to comply with subpoenas to testify in New York Attorney General Letitia James's investigation of the Trump Organization. They'll appeal, probably, but it's a safe bet they won't be able to dodge this. So they'll have to take the Fifth. Remember how Trump always said only guilty people do that?

It hasn't been a good week for Donald, what with his accounting firm dumping him and all. Just for the record, we never for a moment believed that Trump was ever, ever a billionaire. And it's pretty clear he's in dire financial straits right now, if not flat broke. Why is Moose & Squirrel hawking hats and NFTs — to herself?

The farcical outcome of the women's figure skating competition at the dreadful Beijing Olympic Games (excuse the redundancy — all Olympics are dreadful) perfectly encapsulates why the IOC and the games should be discontinued forever. We have no idea why they weren't stopped after Munich in 1972.

Finally, you can tell the heat is cranking up on Trump and the GOP — by Tish James, by Georgia DA Fani Willis, and by the January 6 committee — because they, and Fox "News," are cranking out old Hillary scandal tropes. Secretary Clinton had a lot of fun with it in an address to the New York State Democratic Convention tonight — and she included a warning. (Pay attention, folks. She's a lawyer.) We cats PURR.
