Everyday I regret canceling my NYT subscription less and less.

You need to act with the urgency this moment calls for. As a constituent, I’m deeply disappointed by your continued lack of leadership. It’s shameful. Shame on you Senator Schumer.

Sorry, Mexico and Canada, we elected a dimwitted shitheel

I hope you’re right but it seems quite naive to think that senate republicans will hold some sort of line against Trump and his administration.

The fact that Trump will pay absolutely NO price for inciting the Capitol insurrection makes me sick to my stomach.

The last time you elected Trump, God sent a plague.

As stupid as this sounds, part of the reason I think the fascism argument didn’t land, is because most Americans don’t realize that the federal government is like an iceberg. Many don’t understand how much the government impacts are daily lives because it’s operating β€œbelow the surface.”

His tail covering his paws kills me! I really want a cat, unfortunately my canine roommate does not. Stupid dog.

So, whether Trump’s nominees are vetted by the FBI relies on Republican senators standing up to him. Hmm. Well, we can kiss the vetting process goodbye. None of us should have faith in Republicans standing up for our nation’s norms.

My favorite (old) picture of Maggie wearing a coat. She attempted to murder me after. She doesn’t enjoy outerwear.

A reddish brown, staffy beagle shitz tzu mix dog lying on a bench in a NYC park. So funny looking she’s cute.

Tom Goldstein. Sorry Todd Goldstein, who ever you may be.

Still a ridiculously terrible take.

As a criminal practitioner, who relies on SCOTUSblog, I’m shocked by this oped. Shame on Todd Goldstein. What a shitty take.

This is the type of legal analysis (Goldstein to be clear) that makes my blood boil.

I hate to be cynical (what choice do I have) but why assume Musk doesn’t understand this. It makes more sense to me to presume that Musk is actively seeking to destroy the norms that exist (or did exist).

Why presume he doesn’t know? It’s more likely than not he does and that is why he’s actively working to destroy it.

It’s an absolute choice not knowing β€œwhich side of the aisle β€œ the neo nazis come from. I’m already sick to death of these people.

Thank you! It was sad. Despite 6 years of pampering, she never ever believed that there was going to be a next meal. Heartbreaking πŸ’”

My college dog, a rescue Doberman was horribly mistreated and starved. She used to steal loaves of bread and hide them all through out the house. It took awhile for me and my housemates to figure it out. We just thought one of us had a bread related eating disorder. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Fun fact, during my law school ITAP program, my professor showed the grits cross examination scene as a demonstration of the perfect cross. What a great movie.

I hate that the NYT posted this as debunking misinformation. A rule, law or constitutional amendment is not self executing; there must be an enforcement mechanism which, ordinarily, is the legal system. As a lawyer, it pains me to admit, I’m not terribly confident relying on the Supreme Court.
