The Comey–James Case Collapse Exposes Trump’s Government of Sycophants In Trump's world, only lackeys need apply

The charges against Comey & Letitia James weren’t dismissed on the facts.
They were dismissed because Trump illegally installed a totally unqualified loyalist to prosecute them.

This is Trumpism in one sentence:
Loyalty over law. Always.

Threats against lower court judges have skyrocketed under Trump. Congress found $28M to protect the Supreme Court—but $0 for the 1,900 judges actually getting harassed, swatted, and threatened.

What he said: 💯 🎯

This is our president. THE ULTIMATE CYBERBULLY. What will be left of America after 4 years of Trump 2.0? Shame on us for letting this happen to our country and to the world. #TheTrumpNightmare continues...

Weird. I thought they said they were going after criminals, not law-abiding immigrants.

Gosh, I guess they lied.

My periodic reminder that Sarah Palin (quite correctly) called for Rahm Emmanuel to be fired when he used the "R" word.

And my periodic reminder that maybe a political reporter wants to ask her what should happen when Trump uses it.

Like any reporter.

Group of demonstrators in Exeter, NH.

More pro-democracy demonstrators in downtown Exeter.

Cold temps and 35mph wind gusts did not deter these determined Exeter NH folks from standing up for democracy this morning. Many supporting beeps from passing vehicles!

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.
Just to level set

No one should be surprised Trump wants to hand over Ukraine. He intended to from day one. He hates Zelensky because he is everything Trump is not. That and his quest for world domination that is.

I can't wait until this chest-beating imbecile is brought up on murder charges.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

The deranged madman now threatens to blow up commercial airliners flying in and out of Venezuela.

Scott Jennings called @timmiller.bsky.social a condescending, talentless, America-hating phony — and many other things

So Tim had to respond.

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

So should we repeal all the J6 rioters Trump pardoned? Because I know damn well his lazy ass didn't sign 1500+ pardons.

Donald J. Trump + @realDonald Trump Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect. The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States. The Radical Left Lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the Presidency away from him. I am hereby cancelling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the Autopen did so illegally. Joe Biden was not involved in the Autopen process and, if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

so none of what he’s saying is real btw

Many Americans who generally distrust national news organizations still express trust in certain outlets — Pew Research Center In general, Republicans and Republican leaners are much less likely than Democrats to trust the information they get from national news organizations.

So here's Pew's research on which news outlets are trusted by people who say they DO and DON'T trust major news organizations. I think this says a lot about how we got to where we are in the US, which is to say, in a cultural and information catastrophe.

I am surprised at the answers. The Republicans didn’t surprise me too much. I assumed that’s where they would land. For the Democrats, really surprised where some of the better options (to me) were at the bottom. For instance…The Atlantic. Also, PBS was lower than I thought it would be. Eye opening

Big money needs to be removed from congress (dems and Republicans). Elected officials work for the people. They do not need to be influenced by anyone or anything other than the people that voted and put them in office.

Cold blooded murder.

Here's what's in the RAISE Act, a state-level AI bill opposed by Trump and industry leaders The RAISE Act would require large AI companies to publish safety and risk protocols and disclose serious safety incidents.

True! I wish people would wake up!

NO THANKS This holiday season finds us at war with evil, and I won't be grateful until we've won ...

📌We are a country at war against fascism, and its racist residue. We are at war against dark, lawless, centralized forces that do not believe all men and women are created equal, and do the bidding of soulless billionaires who fund all this hell to pad their absurd fortunes.

Thankful?

I'm furious.

This incredibly irresponsible alcoholic idiot is calling for 500 additional troops in Washington. Because that won't incite more violence.

Everything about this silly "Secretary of War" is about saber rattling and pretending he is so strong. He really must have been picked on in school.

Didn’t the FBi pull a lot of personnel from anti terrorism to put them on deportations?

Actually the whole security establishment pivoted
