I reported today on IN banning university IDs for voting. This person just went on spree of 10-replies like this. What they ignore: There's no such thing as "a voter ID."

Obviously this is bad and very stupid, but the tenor of this kind of Trump communique is very funny to me. It's a real HOA energy, just someone being annoying and small who knows they're being that way, and who more or less sees that as both their highest personal calling and the purpose of the job.

One thing for Senate Democrats to do is announce they will use every tool at their disposal to block Bondi’s nomination until DOJ appoints a special counsel (ideally with beefed up firing protections) to investigate the widely reported crimes committed this week by Musk and his band of DOGE goons.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

... uh, if you're a federal employee considering this, let me strongly recommend you retain your own lawyer to prepare an opinion letter to you saying they think you will actually get all of this. So at least then you can sue the lawyer when Trump & Musk inevitably pull the rug out from under you.
