if this is the only thing they can hang on Jack Smith, then I would not be too worried if I were Jack Smith. Trump's minions violate the Hatch Act almost every day with no repercussions.

While it is not common, and certainly not applicable to Jack Smith’s tenure as Special Counsel, the Hatch Act can apply to former employees. It is rare, though, and usually invoked for egregious violations.

I agree that this is horseshit, but Jack Smith as special counsel IS a federal employee subject to the Hatch Act and the OSC is the proper agency to investigate violations of the Hatch Act. The Hatch Act has both civil and criminal provisions.

Good Morning, Los Angeles!

Apparently, the parks in D.C. are under the jurisdiction of the federal government. And, you guessed it, there’s an executive order for that. Executive Order 14252, "Making the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful." US Park Police have interpreted that EO to mean to crack down on public weed

“Two weeks” is the giveaway.

WGA statement on Paramount’s decision to cancel the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Democrats walked out of a committee vote Thursday to advance the judicial nomination of Emil Bove as Sen. Cory Booker accused the committee chairman of rushing the vote without following Senate rules.

J. Geils Band “Blow Your Face Out” would be a suitable replacement for “Live Bullet.”

MAGA response: “Oh , but now that they have had the 100-year flood, they don’t have to worry about another one for 99 years!”

Isn’t this copyright infringement?

Let’s remember, Superman has been all in on inclusivity for long time!

Morning arrival into Sitka, Alaska.

We could all use a little bit of Leslie Knope’s unbridled optimism.

There ought to be work requirements for Congresspeople to get coverage under FEHBP.

My two cents is that the GOP doesn’t give a f*ck about the people who are killed in these climate events. They are, in their eyes, not human.

As Joni Ernst said “We are all going to die anyway.”

Question: are they getting the job done that they are on the clock for?

That is great news! One of the things that makes Altadena Altadena are the trees. I’ve been watching the big tree at the corner of Las Flores and Glenrose to make sure it made it through.

No white go-go boots this time.

O Canada! Happy Canada Day to our friends to the north!

I was a little later in the 1960s. I remember going to Olympia Stadium and seeing Delvecchio, Howe and Mahovlich. Not the “Production Line” with Lindsay, but still damn good.

Yeah, we will see how effective it is without M23’s participation in the peace talks.

This just reflects ignorance of the situation and a lack of empathy.

Grrr! Wish I could edit my posts! *Mist (of course)
