"When the president does it, that means it's not illegal." - Richard Nixon, despite being forced from office in disgrace for illegal acts.

Saying you're not breaking the law doesn't mean you're not breaking the law, Donnie boy.

Most people in the US do not understand the severity of the situation we are in. This is not just a rogue president where we can ride it out and vote for someone else in a few years. This is a well planned takeover that has been shaped for decades. Every action creates opportunity for the next.

So they get additional downloads/clicks in the app (which has value to them, not to us) while simultaneously making it harder for folks to easily redeem their 'prizes'...

Yeah, that seems like a typical corporate America proposition.

The bottom left pane was someone's creation (photoshop or AI, I don't know or care which).

The other three images are legitimate. It's a damning enough story without making anything up.

Any legitimate journalist wouldn't shake his head as an interviewee answers a question.

What a fucking hack he is. No surprise given the channel.

I think in their off-camera moments they must be terrified, watching as the policy they've fought for for decades fails. It just needs more time, they say. They've fully dosed themselves from their own supply and are doubling and tripling down.

Trouble is it will never, ever work.

Total delusion.

Now that Fairbanks is a "blue city," should we start the countdown until Trump loads Texas National Guard troops onto an Alaska-bound plane?

He might even wait until O'Neall is sworn in?

The discussions we used to have in the late 90s/early 00s about the clear labeling of sponsored content and why it was so important seem a distant, somewhat quaint memory.

This exactly. Where the hell have the "good guys with guns" been to protect unarmed protesters against government blackshirted terrorists?

The NRA ought to be abolished. Their role in poisoning the well over the past 30 years cannot be overlooked or forgotten.

I remember when both sides agreed there was a healthcare crisis in this country: overwhelmed ERs, and rising numbers of uninsured or underinsured.

It took years and eventually the ACA was created as a (deeply flawed) response.

Now they want to go back to what it was like before, which was worse.

This is organized crime. Criminal collusion in which the government is a key actor to violently force the illegal eviction of tenants and the destruction of their belongings.

Yeah, "pay" them 25 cents an hour before mandatory $5 daily fee for "job site transportation" or some other bullshit.

I can recognize that him walking out the door will be a win, and may be the best we get.

But that's not what I want. I want the punishment to suit the crimes.

I want him tackled and shackled in the dirt, convicted, disgraced, thrown in gen pop prison for the rest of his life, or what's left of it.

Go on Mike, tell us more about the evils of the rabble-rousers, na'er do-wells, charlatans, cadgers, derricks, and thimble-riggers.

These people are not just delusional, they are completely disconnected from truth, fact, and reality.

Equal protection under the law is something we need to fight for even in the case of someone who is as hateful as Bondi.

The mess we are in is caused by the breakdown of the rule of law, and we cannot fix it until and unless the rule of law, applied equally to all, is something we fight for.

That's OK. I'm hopeful in due time (not too long) that Boebert & Burchett will both be convicted and sentenced for their respective crimes and will be able to make a long, detailed and in-person assessment of prison conditions. No need for the idiotic letter.

Of course, this would be amazing and long overdue.

But I'll believe it when I see it.

KEEP FIGHTING.

So, back when Bondi got her JD, the US News rankings didn't go further than the top 25. Stetson was nowhere to be found. But the fact is that through the early 90s the ABA was threatening to withdraw accreditation because their law library was so inadequate. So... yeah, nothing but the best.
