That's also called doctor - even if he has no license to practice medicine.

I really thought that, rather that resign, Danielle Sassoon should have filed the motion to dismiss, with UNDER PROTEST in big bold letters. "We file this motion UNDER PROTEST because the evidence is strong, but we have been ordered to drop the charges for political reasons."

He still has a phd.

I am pretty far to the left of you. I swim in lefty waters, read Digby and Atrios and The Nation.... And I had to look up BIPOC to know what you were talking about. No one used BIPOC.

More Biden and his VP than Biden and his family. I promise Hunter's disk drive did not affect a tenth of a percent of the vote. Harris's horrible campaign, on the other hand....

Your complaining about liberals complaining about language is louder and more annoying than the liberals complaining about language.

What they mean is that you are making a big to do about nothing. Your whine about 'language policing' is the same as Bill O'Reilly's whine about people saying Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas.

I think the term for that is "Republicans". Former Republicans who are horrified by Trump's lawlessness and incompetence but who put country ahead of party are known as former Republicans.

Straw men are made for and by men with weak arguments. You did not say all DEI critics want to reimpose segregation - almost no one says that. Or that global warming will lead to human extinction. Both are straw men.

The judge could and should reject it anyway.

I want to know who the consultants were who told Harris to nod like a bobblehead when Trump said crime was at record high, when in fact it's near record low. She then hit him with an ad hominem attack. Woo, that showed him!

I know we are not supposed to compare anyone to Hitler, but this was a very Hitleresque thing to say.

I assume it's about getting fired but getting some walking-away money.

When it comes time to rebuild, it needs to be paid for with a sur tax on wealth over $200 billion.

I don't think it was party loyalty. He was trying to impose his image of America - a 'soft' authoritarianism led by him and people like him. He got a hard authoritarianism led by people like Trump and Musk.

So, are we talking black coffee or what?

Only a far right-wing judge would sign off, and maybe not even then.

Across The Spider Verse is way better than The Boy and The Heron. I think they just decided Miyazaki had a paucity of awards. And... good point.

But that is what the pardon power says.
It is a relic of the Founders monarchal mindset. It needs serious reform - preferably retroactive. Maybe a pardon board to review pardons past and future to strike the unreasonable ones.

I agree. And reappointing Dick Durban to lead the Dems on the judiciary committee showed that they have not learned any lesson. He was still letting them block Biden's court appointees a month ago.

I agree. But fair warning: If the Dems push those tools too hard, the R's will take those tools away. Filibuster, gone. Blue slips, gone. Unanimous consent....

When the DOJ appeared to be going too easy on H. Biden, the judge said, NO. Can that happen here? It would be strange if the judge has to approve a plea deal but has no say if the prosecutor simply drops the charges.

I am as frustrated as you, but I really don't know what the D's should be doing different at this point.

Sorry, no. This stuff only makes sense if they are on Vlad's payroll - or at least believe Trump is and want to signal to him that they are team players.

See the trick they pull? "Reject the theory that it *equals* fairness." But that's no one's theory. It's an *indication* of fairness. And disproportionate outcomes are strong evidence of unfairness.

That's a very good idea. Most government offices, and some government contracts require one.

Nah.
