"Accuses??"
I believe in due process but in this case, "We hold these truths to be self-evident."

How is it that the "head" of the FBI is such an insecure li'l guy?

The Judiciary will lose much from the constant intimations of its illegitimacy,...
The Executive will lose much from a public perception of its lawlessness and all of its attendant contagions.
The Executive may succeed..."

It's subtle, but I'm beginning to connect some dots. Some economy wrecking, democracy killing, syc-o-phantic--dots.

Yep. A Blue Dog Democrat. Oh, and a Jim Crow aficionado on weekends. That must be your point. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry, I don't speak Sycophant. But would this be the same Alina Habba who lost Trump's multi-million dollar defamation case and was fined 1M for filing a frivolous lawsuit on his behalf?
Sycophant, such a difficult language to learn...

More specifically, it's not just MAGA, it's the U.S. Attorney General. That should be the gasp moment when the audience jumps out of their seats. How in the hell did we fall this far, this fast?

His mother-in-law won't go hungry if she misses her Social Security check this month and every month for the rest of her life.
The "fraudsters" "making noise" are hungry and trying to pay the rent. They yell because tone-deaf losers like Lutnick can't hear over the din of their hefty dividends!!

It never ceases to amaze. The heady attraction of power, the dressing up and cosplaying a 17th century feast and celebrating “fierce independence” by joining the crowd.

Oh, now hold on, when you say terrorists…
Well, I guess they’ve been terrorizing federal workers. And legal immigrants. And come to think of it, I’m feeling a bit terrified by the morning news.
Okay, then, terrorists it is.

Big fan of the show! But with all the draconian federal cuts to research grants, have you considered renaming it "Science Yesterday?"
