Walk out

can we safely advocate for the tarring and feathering of egregiously bad politicians as it is meant to teach them a lesson (finding out!) while staying safely on the mostly alive side of things?

Check with your local Amish craftsman?

Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger have been trying their damnedest.

There are no good Republicans left. Every single one has spent their career getting the party into this kind of power.

Decency can’t exist where lust for power is the highest value.

They can’t afford decency.

Nice country you have there…

Then rhetorical questions would rule.

Call it Republic News Network in a masterstroke of doublespeak to outFox the fake news outlets.

He’s going to rig all future elections like Putin, Orban, and Erdogan.

He doesn’t have to care anymore if he is unpopular. He thinks he is going to rule for life.

Maybe it’s time for Dick Cheney to pull out the old CIA playbook and take care of this situation…

He’s the Dark Lord of the ends justify the means.

First they came for the AP…

The Moscow 8- Senator Ron Johnson - WI as well as Sens. John Thune, Jerry Moran, Richard Shelby, John Kennedy, John Hoeven, Steve Daines, and Rep. Kay Granger.

Also Dana Rohrabacher.

Probably MTG and Stefanik too.

Awesome. Gotta have an air gapped old 95 or XP box laying around somewhere for the vintage video games, i mean for access to archival assets…

Judge: This is some BS right here. Tell me about it. Tell me how any of it is legal.

That is The Story. These are illegal terminations of dedicated, non-partisan civil service workers who provide expertise and continuity of government without regard to political agendas.

This is a clear attempt to re-instate patronage and loyalty over expertise in hiring criteria. It weakens us.

May the anti-vaxers reap what they sow.

He took a victory lap around the track in Daytona, no?

There’s always a bigger fish.

But a school of fish is bigger than the biggest fish.

Do Not Obey in Advance

Can the judge take into consideration that this motion is an illegal quid pro quo and force the DOJ to continue the case?

Judge should refuse the motion

BY EMAIL Re: United States v. Eric Adams, 24 Cr. 556 (DEH) Mr. Bove, I have received correspondence indicating that I refused your order to move to dismiss the indictment against Eric Adams without prejudice, subject to certain conditions, including the express possibility of reinstatement of the indictment. That is not exactly correct. The U.S. Attorney, Danielle R. Sassoon, never asked me to file such a motion, and I therefore never had an opportunity to refuse. But I am entirely in agreement with her decision not to do so, for the reasons stated in her February 12, 2025 letter to the Attorney General. In short, the first justification for the motion-that Damian Williams's role in the case somehow tainted a valid indictment supported by ample evidence, and pursued under four different U.S. attorneys is so weak as to be transparently pretextual. The second justification is worse. No system of ordered liberty can allow the Government to use the carrot of dismissing charges, or the stick of threatening to bring them again, to induce an elected official to support its policy objectives. There is a tradition in public service of resigning in a last-ditch effort to head off a serious mistake. Some will view the mistake you are committing here in the light of their generally negative views of the new Administration. I do not share those views. I can even understand how a Chief Executive whose background is in business and politics might see the contemplated dismissal-with-leverage as a good, if distasteful, deal. But any assistant U.S. attorney would know much i i red oril, in this ily. wing the perset arthro he Reside is ving to, give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me. Please consider this my resignation. It has been an honor to serve as a prosecutor in the Southern District of New York. Yours truly, Hagan Scotten Assistant United States Att…

AUSA Hagan Scotten, former clerk for John Roberts, really put some mustard on his resignation letter.

If the world wants to organize more of these petitions, there’s a bunch of us stateside that would be willing to sell Denmark the former Confederacy.

They don’t sound like a win at all for anybody.

Take all his money. Whatever he buys, no one will want to use it. Make him pay a massive premium.

Shut. It. Down.

If they won’t govern responsibly, then don’t let them have anything that requires cooperation.
