So, Tom Homan can straight accept a bag of $50K in cash from the FBI in a sting operation, have the investigation dismissed by this corrupt Justice Department, but all of Trump's critics somehow face indictments?

Cool, cool. Cool.

A desperate, weak Administration overplaying its hand.

Because fascists always claim someone else wants to do what they want to do. Every accusation is a confession because that's how their propaganda works. They make up a lie about X doing Y so they can do Y to X. It's so blatant that I question the sapience of people that keep falling for it.

Hilarious. Only because we ALREADY KNOW if big D Dems were to win another election, they'll neglect to do A GD THING to rid this country of fascists, just like the last guy did (or didn't).

They’re turning Stancil into a revolutionary. I think Yarvin and Fuentes are right to be afraid. I hope they spread the word.

I assume by fearing "vengeance" they mean they fear rightful prosecution.

I think it's just a way to push their crowd to support even more violent and dictatorial behaviours. "If we don't finish the job right now we will have to pay the consequences" is an easy sell with fascist thugs.

Realistically, even if Republicans allow Dems to regain power, it'll probably be some milquetoast liberal who will want to "move on" to "let the country heal." There will never be investigations, trials, or prison for all the human rights abuses we're witnessing for the people in power.

A column of poison oak, sporting foliage in shades from dark wine to an orangey red. Surrounded by green and brown foliage of winterberry and Coffeeberry plants with the odd bit of oak tree visible.

Here in California, the best color we get is from the poison oak.

Like we really need to internalize that the response to fascism is to reject any equivalence between violent, supremacist, or exceptionalist ideologies & other ideologies that are defensive, communal, or constructive. Even when the former masquerade as the latter. You just have to reject that.

Federal judge further limits ICE ability to arrest without warrants, probable cause A federal judge's ruling is a legal win for people wrongfully arrested in recent ICE and Border Patrol sweeps.

β€œThe judge ruled that ICE has violated the decree repeatedly, and improperly told its field offices over the summer that the order had been cancelled when it had not.”

Keeping important legal information from your enforcers would seem to insure bad results.

The Conservative Justices Are Not Even Bothering to Tell This Lie Anymore Extolling the virtues of precedent used to be mandatory for Supreme Court justices. Now that the conservatives have six votes, they suddenly view it as very optional.

The conservative justices who used to extol the virtues of upholding Supreme Court precedent are getting way, way more comfortable talking about how they have the votes to do whatever they want

It depends on who it is. Adam shift can do it and so can Eric Swallwell. Oddly enough Padilla can’t get away with it. I think he established himself too much as a gentleman.

Illustration of a kelp forest in a teal ocean, rays of golden sunlight streaming in from above. Fish are swimming about, and near the bottom of a prominent kelp strand, a partially obscured leopard shark leisurely patrols the underwater forest. The palette predominantly features warmer teals, red violet, and gold.

Why don't we just show him old footage of people celebrating in the streets of one of the "bad" cities (like after a sports championship win or something) and say the job is done and everyone is happy now? I mean, wouldn't that work? (Just put it on Fox News.)
