Whole thread is well worth reading.

I’m a career prosecutor who took a $25,000 check from an affiliated entity of Donald Trump’s while investigating Trump University and later left my lobbying firm to become Donald Trump’s personal impeachment lawyer, White House aide, and Attorney General. So don’t you DARE question my integrity.

Fix the tax system and get rid of tariffs first. Another one-off simply won't cut it.

This is so great. There is one thing all dictators and authoritarians cannot abide, and that is being made fun of. We should all get one of these costumes to protest in.

Honest question: is he dropping acid? Cause he sure sounds like he is hallucinating. There is no far left in the U.S. Miller can't get his mind around the fact that over half the country hates his policies. So, like the Supreme Court, he just makes shit up. Why are TV news shows putting him on air?

Grift is the operative word. If that means cozying up to fascist-friendly Silicon Valley billionaires whose belief in their intellectual superiority is without foundation (something she shares with them), no problem. It's all about getting in on the grift.

I worked in telecom in the 90s when satellite phones were the next big thing. Investments poured into those firms. Speaking to just one engineer working in those firms would have educated analysts that they would not be viable. AI has the same vibe: a legal scam that makes a few people very rich.

In some case where Trump's venom is relevant, Roberts will say: "The issue is not whether to denounce Trump's statements. It is instead the significance of those statements in reviewing a Presidential directive, neutral on its face, addressing a matter within the core of executive responsibility."

This is the only explanation I can come up with for their repeated assertion that the US military went "woke" starting right after World War II.

Democratic Senators and Congresspeople need to start addressing these accusations every day in press conferences & explain that they are both egregious lies & a prelude to even worsre state violence than that happening in Chicago.

Dem voters want to see leadership! Talk about more than insurance.

If you are a man.

Ghislaine Maxwell is a heinous person, but Epstein was so much worse. He got the best deal imaginable on his first trial and conveniently died before the second. Maxwell got 20 years. But her access to powerful men may reduce it to time served. Disgusting all around.

It’s essential that you find common ground with Trump supporters. For instance, you know that you have many flaws, and they believe you are less than human. Work with that.

Any encounter with scholarship about racial violence in the Jim Crow South leads any thinking person to conclude that America has a long and extensive history of fascism. It’s just that people tend to refuse to acknowledge it as such when it’s targeting black people.

Reminds me very much of the pogroms organized by white conservatives in the early-mid 20th century, which were just as much opportunities to loot & plunder radicalized & esp Black communities as they were opportunities to wield repressive & exploitative violence.

Let's face it, the conservative majority on the Court is not just rabidly political, they are all in with white supremacist facism. The majority is so arrogant, they think the country will accept what is essentially rewriting the Constitution to suit their preferences, originalism be damned!
