We are seeing the pardon power being used to give a green light to political violence. Green lighting tax fraud and corruption is one thing. Green lighting violence is a whole different kettle of fish.

It is amazing that all the tough guys are afraid to ride on the subway. Maybe they are not tough?

When you find yourself agreeing with Ann Coulter and John Bolton and you are a lifelong Democrat, you know it is getting f*in weird.

Nothing like going out in the freezing cold without felt boots and mittens. Ask Napoleon. Ask Hitler.

Can someone explain how the E.O. is even enforceable? By what authority is it issued? I think it is just more performative bullshit.

First amendment rights are not necessarily portable. In the British Empire their suppression when it serves the goal of the permanence of the state is accepted. see for example Canada's War Measures Act. cf. www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/timeline/...

I wish Democrats had Stronger Cards than 'Indignant Calls For Resignations and Firings'.
I wish #America was in a strong enough position to Arrest and Prosecute such Traitorous Activities.
Moore's Law has been the Law Of The Land for some time now.
#USA Enemies HAD these Signal texts immediately.

Just a note. On March 15 Potus schedule included golf during the day and a candle light fund rising dinner at Mar A Lago that started at 7 pm. Who was in charge? (The schedule is available on line). The DOJ lawyers cell phone records tell a story that may eventually be told.

I think the "state secret" is that one or maybe two White House advisors called the shot on disobeying the Judge's order. Not cabinet level. Not secret. Not playing golf. Not even caddying.

A common problem in Chinese English is pronunciation. They forgot a comma. Should read "Shop. Like a Billionaire." That works for Amazon and PayPal, too.

A special prosecutor would have to be appointed. If the Courts could do it it might happen. Under the current statutory structure it wont happen.
