60%.

Thatโ€™s just a little past a preponderance of the evidence which would be 50.1%.

Mike Johnson is not fit to be Speaker of the House. He is second in the line of succession to the presidency and he skips a gang of eight meeting?

Just a guess. Itโ€™s racism.

Explain to me how the AF using Calibri as your font is a *diversity move*.

Itโ€™s a font. There are thousands of choices.

Wouldnโ€™t the king of making a deal have secured loyalty from Cuellar BEFORE granting him a pardon?

Itโ€™s called โ€œlaw enforcement.โ€

Just pardon him and get it over with.

He canโ€™t fit into a military uniform.

Adm. Bradley knew from his training that firing at shipwrecked survivors was absolutely prohibited under any circumstance.

He could have said โ€œNo.โ€

He should have said โ€œNo.โ€

This of course isnโ€™t going to happen.

But David is absolutely correct. Russia should leave Ukraine.

That was not a cabinet meeting.

That was a KKK meeting with the masks off.

Racist diatribe followed by applause from his racist cabinet members.

Trump wonโ€™t fire Hegseth.

Hegseth will not resign.

But there is hope. If Dems retake the House in 2026 they can commence impeachment proceedings against Hegseth, RFK Jr and Noem to name a few.

And itโ€™s not impossible that enough Republicans will vote to convict and remove.

It seems like Mr. Scott could benefit from some gummies.

Wouldnโ€™t it make sense to combine โ€œfuckingโ€ and โ€œfuckโ€ into a single category?

Certainly, we can trust Putin to be a credible source on the accusation that a pro-Russian Trump lackey isnโ€™t biased in favor of Russia.

And we can depend on the @nytimes.com to repeat Russian propaganda without context.

Lovely thoughts about your dad. May his memory always be a blessing. Happy Thanksgiving.

Skandalakis was assigned to the case on November 14.

Thatโ€™s only 12 days ago.

The case is extremely complicated both on the law and the facts.

There is no way he could have fully reviewed all of the legal and factual components of the case in 12 days.

This is a perversion of Justice

Iโ€™m pretty certain that Alan Dershowitz doesnโ€™t reflect where the *vast majority of Americans are*.

As a criminal defense attorney I never thought Iโ€™d read a document filed by the defense stating in plain language that the governmentโ€™s attorneys were directly lying to the court.

Ten months in and Trump and Bondi have done incalculable damage to DOJ, damage that might never be repaired.

I think Bessent just made that up. I donโ€™t think blue states have higher rates of inflation.

Mitch McConnell, possibly more than anyone, made it possible for Trump to be president in 2025.
