Got to take the whole cabinet down too, not a competent non-liar in the bunch

The day it was reported that 20k anti-missile missiles we’re diverted from Ukraine to Israel I knew Trump had given Netanyahu the go-ahead to attack. They both need crises to maintain power

Remember when Zuck and Musk were going to fight? I f Musk came off with a black eye fighting with the Secretary of Treasury, I bet he’d have been demolished by a younger, fitter nerd like Zuckerberg

Any bets on how soon Trump pardons him?

I’m enjoying the tv series, although as is often the case, the books are better. It does annoy me that the Preservation Alliance characters are overly cliched- they seem much more capable in the books and a bit less naive.
Got to say that the cliffhangers in each episode are epic

Absolutely not analogous to Eisenhower deploying National Guard in Arkansas where the governor and state police were actively defying court orders to desegregate schools , so any claims comparing the two are bogus

Of course! Any decent attorney at the DOJ either quit or is quietly sabotaging these politically motivated cases.

Is attorney-client privilege terminated by the death of the client? The NY bar association says it does not end at death unless waived by decedents personal representative. Not something Mr Schoen should be commenting on

Gee, funny how nobody can identify one of these people who are unemployed and living of Medicare, unless they also have some underlying medical conditions that make it impossible to hold a job or are providing care for a dependent

Shameful that 4 SCOTUS justices have no respect for the constitution and bill of rights that they were willing to allow violations of the establishment clause.

Historically in the America of 6months ago, she would lose her job and be ostracized for her nasty behavior- unfortunately Trump has normalized abhorrent behavior

I can identify with this. Halfway thru after 15 years- incredibly detailed and depressing in exposing how power corrupts people who start out well-intentioned

An excellent article in a Feb 24 New Yorker on the worldwide reduction in fertility. All demographics are seeing a reduction, just not at the same level right now. It’s unlikely to change and governmental attempts to increase it have been unsuccessful

What an embarrassment to the traditions of DOJ, almost makes Sessions, Barr and Mitchell seem reputable ( but only almost)

Can the family file a slander lawsuit? Trump extorted millions from CBS over a misstatement regarding sexual assault vs rape, and this is a far more egregious example

Of course, the Tea Party was an astro turfed (not grass roots) organization funded by Koch brothers et al, over imaginary death panels, while Hands Off sees the attack on American institutions by gaslighting billionaires

Beautiful example in real time of what animus would look like, and another example of how every lawyer who works for Trump is corrupted
