They do. And Democrats, please donโ€™t cave.

Whoa! This is a great quote.

It is! And sheโ€™s a fucking PhD!

I appreciate your content. While I personally am loath to speak on behalf of the deity, Iโ€™m happy to let someone else do it..

Oh, please. Are these cartoon characters?

I didnโ€™t change my name when I got married, but my bestie did. Sheโ€™s very concerned about this.

Scathingly brilliant, scorching! No Norse.

Jamie Raskin is such a badass.

I knew there was no way sheโ€™d participate professionally. She did the same thing the last time she testified - basically just insulted anyone who questioned her.

Is it, though? Iโ€™m kind of torn, if you get my drift.

Damn, you have a point. Iโ€™ve been all over the coverage, and I have regularly lauded Minnesotansโ€˜ grit and determination. Media coverage has definitely fallen off. Iโ€™ll redouble my efforts to stay informed.

FFS, August. Grow a pair.

Or they could grow a spine and stop the bleeding.

Blue down to my shoes.

I believe they are still rending their garments and rubbing ashes in their hair. (Sigh)

My heartbreak in all of this is that โ€œthe rule of lawโ€ no longer exists. Thatโ€™s what makes these protests, especially in Minneapolis, so brave. These people know that if theyโ€™re picked up by ICE, what could happen to them is likely not going to be lawful.

Iโ€™m devastated. It was an institution. I came of age during Watergate and faithfully followed the Postโ€™s investigation.

I saw him say this last night, and my jaw dropped. โ€œ[sigh] Democracy is SO inconvenient.โ€

It really is just that simple.

This opinion makes me proud to be a lawyer, and proud to be an American.

This is what is commonly referred to as โ€œevidence.โ€

What are the damages? Theyโ€™ve smeared his reputation? Please. ๐Ÿ™„

Closest heโ€™s ever come to confessing error.

I have such mad respect for these people.
