You cannot shame the shameless.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

He really is that stupid.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

    I have qualify that I think Garland is handling the Trump classified documents case very well so far, however I do wonder what’s up with this:

    1. E. Jean Carroll Defamation and Federal Tort Claims Act Litigation

    Carroll is suing Trump for defamation after he publicly accused her of fabricating a rape allegation against him. The parties are currently involved in an appeal before the Second Circuit, where Trump (and so far, the Justice Department as well) is arguing that he had official immunity from Carroll’s defamation claim under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA).

    Why is Garland’s DOJ still going to bat for TFG?

    Speaking of Putin’s new draft, I don’t speak Russian so I’m taking this at face value (twitter value?)

    Alec Luhn @ASLuhn
    A @navalny activist posing as a military official asks Nikolai Peskov, son of Putin’s spokesman, to report to the draft office. “You should undersand, if I’m Mr Peskov, it’s not entirely correct for me to be there,” Peskov says. “I’m going to resolve this at a different level”

    I’m assuming that last quote is from Peskov the Younger? Pretending to be Ivan Barronov, the spokesman’s spokesman?

    @WaterGirl: That’s it.  OTOH, since she can now sue on the original offense, the alleged rape, and the DoJ has no institutional interest in that suit, the defamation suit (which was really just an attempt to get around the statute of limitations on a rape civil suit) doesn’t matter as much.

    FTCA says that the government will defend people who have lawsuits brought against them if the behavior was part of their official office/duties. The defamation thing occurred when he was in office, so they could defend that; Garland appears to be not challenging the former DOJ a lot, and, while I might disagree in particular cases, I can see what he’s doing. However, the rape accusation that is being revived refers to behavior that occurred BEFORE TFG was in office, so they wouldn’t defend him for that–and I think I read today that she’s actually pursuing that charge. If he were convicted, then I would think the defamation part would be easier and DOJ would stop defending it.

    Slightly off topic.  Why does no one ever indict or prosecute all these people who hurl death threats at public officials for doing their job?  There are so many of them that recording and evidence have to be available.  Putting just a handful away for a couple years would get most of them to stop.  Sure there’s a few crazies who wouldn’t care, but most do it as a hobby with no downside.

    Baud

    For our part, we cannot discern why Plaintiff would have an individual interest in or need for any of the one-hundred docu- ments with classification markings. Classified documents are marked to show they are classified, for instance, with their classifi- cation level. Classified National Security Information, Exec. Order No. 13,526, § 1.6, 3 C.F.R. 298, 301 (2009 Comp.), reprinted in 50 U.S.C. § 3161 app. at 290–301. They are “owned by, produced by or for, or . . . under the control of the United States Government.” Id. § 1.1. And they include information the “unauthorized disclo- sure [of which] could reasonably be expected to cause identifiable or describable damage to the national security.” Id. § 1.4. For this reason, a person may have access to classified information only if, among other requirements, he “has a need-to-know the infor- mation.” Id. § 4.1(a)(3). This requirement pertains equally to for- mer Presidents, unless the current administration, in its discretion, chooses to waive that requirement. Id. § 4.4(3).

  85. 85.

    Baud

    Plaintiff suggests that he may have declassified these docu- ments when he was President. But the record contains no evidence that any of these records were declassified. And before the special master, Plaintiff resisted providing any evidence that he had declas- sified any of these documents. See Doc. No. 97 at 2–3., Sept. 19, 2022, letter from James M. Trusty, et al., to Special Master Ray- mond J. Dearie, at 2–3. In any event, at least for these purposes, the declassification argument is a red herring because declassifying an official document would not change its content or render it per- sonal. So even if we assumed that Plaintiff did declassify some or all of the documents, that would not explain why he has a personal interest in them.

  88. 88.

    Baud

    The remaining potential injury identified by the district court is “the threat of future prosecution and the serious, often in- delible stigma associated therewith.” Doc. No. 64 at 10. No doubt the threat of prosecution can weigh heavily on the mind of some- one under investigation. But without diminishing the seriousness of that burden, “if the mere threat of prosecution were allowed to constitute irreparable harm . . . every potential defendant could point to the same harm and invoke the equitable powers of the dis- trict court.” United States v. Search of Law Office, Residence, and Storage Unit Alan Brown, 341 F.3d 404, 415 (5th Cir. 2003) (quota- tion omitted). If this concern were sufficient to constitute irrepa- rable harm, courts’ “exercise of [their] equitable jurisdiction would not be extraordinary, but instead quite ordinary.” Id.

    That remains to be seen. I don’t believe for a second that his reputation or flat demeanor will ever make the slightest difference in convincing Americans that he is credible. Mueller’s reputation did nothing to make “his” investigation convincing. This is mostly a tribal country now with know-nothing independents milling about unable to make up their minds.

    I favored a younger, more energetic AG than Garland and I never liked the idea that making him AG was a consolation prize for what McConnell and the Republicans did to him.  He may yet prove up to the job, but that is unknowable at this time.

    -Instagram and Whatsapp restricted.

    The “November 2019 massacre” was the savage suppression of protests by machine gun fire. Reuters put the death toll at 1500 people murdered.

    Through Kohler’s declaration, the United States has sufficiently explained how and why its na- tional-security review is inextricably intertwined with its criminal investigation.

U.S. Dep’t of Justice, 939 F.3d 1164, 1182 (11th Cir. 2019) (quoting Am. Civil Liberties Union v. U.S. Dep’t of Def., 628 F.3d 612, 619 (D.C. Cir. 2011)).

    298. It is self-evident that the public has a strong interest in ensur- ing that the storage of the classified records did not result in “ex- ceptionally grave damage to the national security.” Ascertaining that necessarily involves reviewing the documents, determining who had access to them and when, and deciding which (if any) sources or methods are compromised. See Kohler Decl. ¶¶ 6–9. For these reasons, we conclude that the public interest favors a stay.

    I think we need both of them. We need SFB tied down tight, for all his shit and all he’s put this country thru in his desire to be an even bigger complete fucking asshole than the complete and utter fucking asshole that he is and has been his entire shitty life, and for creating a path for all the shitheads that support his shittyness.

    I like watching him sweat but I’m about 100 percent certain that whatever Garland or James do or accomplish will result in nothing meaningful.  Not saying the shouldn’t try but Trump ain’t going to hurt from any of this.  And neither will his spawn or spawn adjacent.  I will be ecstatic to be proven wrong.  That said, the negative news trickle/stream is advantageous for Dems so there’s that.  Last thing we need is any of these fuckers near elected offices.  And I don’t think Trump is running again because, in the words of equally reprehensible NYC real estate heir, Bobby Durst, “he’s a pussy”.  Man can’t stand losing again…he’s just cosplaying.  I imagine he’ll will remain rally guy and will just be happy with idiot Republicans kissing his ring.
