We have to do much better than this. Ed Martin was the attorney for the Stop the Steal movement, key figures in which were convicted of Seditious Conspiracy and imprisoned. Ed Martin is an insurrectionist. The idea that we'd talk about him being DOJ's pardon attorney and not mention this is insane.

"He’d start a sentence, then shift mid-way. Words jumbled. He forgot what he was saying at least four times. At one point, he said, 'We must remember that America first means … that we’re first … and not … second … you know, we were first, and then they made us not.' That’s a direct quote."

Trump, West Point commencement speech: “And he sold his company, and he had nothing to do. He ended up getting a divorce, found a new wife. Could you say a trophy wife? I guess we can say a trophy wife. It didn't work out too well, but it doesn't – that doesn't work out too well, I must tell ya. ”

Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.
