Hope you had another bottle of Indictment champagne in your fridge!

WHAT A THURSDAY, AMIRITE? First, we woke up to learn that homophobic, misogynistic, antisemitic hate knob Pat Robertson had died and presumably was roasting in Hell. Then the Supreme Court decided to NOT be racist and give some life to the Voting Rights Act. BUT THEN, the icing on the fucking cake: Former President Ass Pustule, he was indicted on federal charges for mishandling confidential documents. He is scheduled to surrender to authorities on Tuesday in Miami.

And you guys — they just unsealed the indictment. The New York Times has an annotated version of the indictment that is particularly helpful. In short, Former President Traitor has been charged with making false statements, participating in a conspiracy to obstruct justice, and retaining national defense secrets in violation of the Espionage Act. He is facing 37 charges.

From the indictment:

3. The classified documents TRUMP stored in his boxes included information
regarding defense and weapons capabilities of both the United States and foreign countries; United States nuclear programs; potential vulnerabilities of the United States and its allies to military attack; and plans for possible retaliation in response to foreign attack. The unauthorized disclosure of these classified documents could put at risk the national security of the United States, foreign relations, the safety of the United States military, and human sources and the continued viability of sensitive intelligence collection methods.

 

The stinger seems to be that the Special Prosecutors office has a recording of President Espionage waving around a top-secret military document and admitting that he didn’t declassify it.

I mean …

ONE CAN CERTAINLY HOPE.

Now, the thing that is giving me a little bit of heartburn about all of this is that the Special Prosecutors Office has chosen to prosecute this not in Washington D.C. where they would have a favorable venue, but in South Florida, because that’s where these crimes took place. Which makes sense! But it’s nerve-racking. And worse, a Former President Liar-appointed judge, Aileen Cannon, who has already tried to muck up this case has been appointed to oversee this case, at least initially. Let’s hope she doesn’t try to pull any shenanigans this time around.

Meanwhile, a reminder that Special Prosecutor Jack Smith is not done with The Former Conspirator-in-Chief: he’s also investigating Former President January 6th’s part in attempting to overturn the election. And if he’s indicted in that case, it will be in D.C. So stay tuned.

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

SNL‘s Chloe Fineman has the only version of The Idol you need to see:

Apparently, the password crackdown on Netflix is working out for them.

Bill Hader is very thoughtful about what Barry was actually all about in the end in this very insightful interview.

There’s a line I underlined that Fuches says to Hank during their confrontation, but it feels like a thesis statement of sorts for the show. He’s telling him to admit he hates himself, and in talking about his life of denial he says, “The only thing that will make you forget is by being someone else.”

Yeah I mean, that’s basically what the show is. That’s what everyone is trying to do by being someone else, so they can forget that they hate themselves and what they’ve done. That’s what the show ended up being about. It started out kind of hopeful, someone called it “Breaking Good” (laughs). By Season 4 he can’t be good so he’s gotta be Clark and Sally’s gotta be Emily and Fuches has gotta be The Raven and Cousineau has to be this monk, this weird wizard guy, and Hank is a well-to-do philanthropist and businessman. And they’re all lying to themselves. So I think it was about Sally does it, Hank can’t do it and dies for it, Fuches does it – and his thing was he says, “I’m a man with no heart,” but he saves the kid. He feels that way about himself, but it’s complex. He wants to give him back to Barry because Fuches has always loved Barry, and we show that at the beginning of the season with the little Barry out in the field with him. So when he’s looking at John he’s like, “I can fix this within myself.”

Also, he decided on that Chekov’s gun ending back in season two.

Ken Jennings hates doing the mid-game interviews on Jeopardy! and you know what, Ken? Same.

I genuinely am going to miss Padma on Top Chef. Who’s going to bring all that haughty bitch energy now?

You guys, I just saw the original concept for Bob’s Burgers and … just … what did I just watch?

Bill Murray is reportedly dating Kelis and I just don’t know anymore, you guys.
