Let’s add the fact that you can trace lack of justice for rich and powerful back to Ford pardoning Nixon through savings and loan and 2008.

In blow to Trump DOJ, judge disqualifies β€˜triumvirate’ leading U.S. attorney’s office in NJ The judge said the DOJ's defense of the triad was an "enormous assertion of Presidential power."

NEW: A federal judge ruled the DOJ’s replacement of Alina Habba, the former interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, with three separate attorneys was unlawful.

The ruling marks the latest blow in Trump's effort to bypass Senate confirmation to install loyalists in top U.S. attorney offices.

Thank you sir! Personally, I’m tired of being cynical so your initiative and your success gives me a bit of hope.

This is to say: if you're an attorney who's hesitated to take on habeas cases because you think you lack the knowledge, or you're worried about whether you'll really help, I PROMISE you can make a difference. I'm just a dipshit with a 7-year-old laptop and a bad attitude. If I can do it, so can you.

Does anyone trust this egomaniacal, early dementia narcissist? All it takes is for a few β€œold guard” Cubans from Miami to donate 100k to Trump’s Museum of Crypto Grift and then whisper in his ear that they want their old mansions back in Havana center of Havana and WHAM! Trump orders in the B52s.

Obama was vilified because, as a sitting president criticizing the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling, he β€œlacked decorum” How quaint when Trump commits stochastic terrorism on a daily basis against judges, press and politicians. Obama rightly criticized a horribly destructive ruling.

3/ They have shed an unprecedentedly detailed look at the inner workings of the senior Russian officer corps, including Demurchiev's personal involvement in the torture, mutilation, and murder of Ukrainian POWs, as well as constant feuds between generals.

Right? Trump’s Dept of Warmongers might not understand the power of martyrdom in the Shia form of Islam. Plus, if I were one of 100+ fathers of a little girl killed by a β€œprecision” US missile (apparently a double tap), I might also devote my life to making the US and its allies unhappy.

Not sure it’s such a win, at least in the short term, for Gulf States. Selling at 2-3x last months barrel price is not helped when Lloyd’s is not ensuring movement through the strait of Hormuz. It is an absolute lifeline for Russia though. Trump will allow them to renew their sales to India.

Add in that the gulf states have indicated any promised investments in US need to be reevaluated due to plummeting revenue from oil exports. Force majeure of Trump and Israel’s making.

A water desalination plant is presumptively a civilian object & it is an object indispensable to survival.

Targeting a civilian object is a war crime.

Targeting an object indispensable to survival can implicate the starvation war crime.

Not just releasing all the documents but also 1) the PROPERLY redacted versions of what has already been released (no protected people) and 2) the videos and photos (I don’t care if they’re more challenging to redact) 3) The rational for each and every redaction.

This Eric Trump post doesn’t bode well. I fear nihilism would explain quite well the Trump crime family’s and admin’s actions that are destroying the US. Smash and grab then burn everything down.

Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump in Jan. 6 case gets life sentence for child sex crimes Andrew Paul Johnson, authorities said, tried to keep one of his victims mum by floating the promise of money he was expecting to receive from the Justice Department.

A Jan. 6 defendant pardoned by President Trump for his role in the Capitol attack has been sentenced to life in prison for child molestation and related crimes.

Waiting for CNN to say β€œToday is when Trump became β€˜presidential’” and β€œpitch perfect” and β€œbrought the country together” like CNN did after the LV shooting in 1st term?

Covering Trump in any way that normalizes him makes me sick.

Headline suggestion β€œTrump pretends to care about dead soldiers”

You are being misled about renewable energy technology.
YouTube video by Technology Connections You are being misled about renewable energy technology.

Below great tech breakdown of benefits of solar and EVs. Argues that the fields used for ethanol corn (high Opex) should be replaced by much higher ROI solar panels (tiny Opex).

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

Wealthy Dubai residents race back to UAE to avoid tax bills Some risk spending too few days in the emirate and too many in the UK

Reposting: I once went to a party way out of my social circle - CEOs, Art Dealers, movie producers, etc. Every conversation eventually turned to tax avoidance. Some had even chosen to live 180 days in another country away from their children so they could lower their tax rate. They are obsessed.

Some did. Other religious whackos were already there (I heard the Air Force is filled with christofascists). But there are 1000s if not 10s of 1000s of officers in the armed forces. Majority leans right and aren’t afraid of a fight but there must be some who know this is way wrong

This may be yet another way of Trump admitting he’s dying. He’s been randomly introducing the fact he won’t go to heaven. Plenty of speculation of a possible stroke.

Shutting an oil well isn’t like turning off a faucet.

It’s a huge engineering risk, difficult to reverse β€” and an indicator the Kuwaitis don’t see choke points improving anytime soon.
