Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Giving up is unforgivable.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

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

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Second rate reporter says what?

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

    I hope she drops an indictment bomb (figuratively) on his fat ass this week.  Also, I hope the odious Roger Stone gets indicted from something soon.

    Wasn’t it?  Gov’t could just be this thing running smoothly behind the scenes.  Of course we had to show up to vote and encourage others, but day to day there was no imminent threat of war with Greenland.  Or Wisconsin.

    @West of the Rockies: I’ll second that!

    (and then I was contemplating an “icing on the [indictment] cake” role for Rog which led to buttercream frosting and onto butter goblin. Is that how it ends for butter goblins…they become fatty stones?)

    But if Fani Willis is just convening the grand jury (tomorrow)  (next week?) how long is it likely to take to get an actual indictment??

    I guess it shows that Trump’s lawyers or whatever have at least a tiny bit of control because Trump didn’t call her some kind of slur based on ‘fanny’

    The grand jury has already heard lots of testimony, so this week reportedly is (re-)convening to vote on indictments, not the initial convening of the GJ.

    Speaking of dogwhistles:

    A Child Was Traumatized by Poster of People of Different Races Holding Hands?!  -Trustees of a Texas school district are attempting to remove all symbols of racial inclusivity and pride

    Yes, you read that headline correctly. A child was traumatized, not by a violent picture or a scary movie scene, but by a poster of people of two different races holding hands.

    Trustees of Conroe ISD, an independent school district North of Houston, Texas, have argued that symbols of racial inclusivity and pride represent “personal ideologies,” and need to be removed from their schools, according to ABC 13.

    @pat:  Fani said she needed two days.   What I’m not sure of is when they meet.    I know they meet Tuesday because the formerly Lt. Gov is going to testify then.   I thought that I heard they are meeting Monday also, but I’m not sure

     

    Atlanta Journal says they are meeting Monday, so I suspect we’ll know Tuesday.

    Wake me up when these judges stop treating Donald with deference and not like every other indicted criminal defendant. According to lawyers that practice in Federal court, it is exceedingly rare for a defendant that directly violates a judge’s order doesn’t go to jail awaiting trial. Judge Chutkan admonished Donald’s lawyers but let the defendant slide with an admonition that she would set the trail date sooner than later. Trump seems to be elated and continues to defy the court(s).

    “Perfect phone” call is one of the few times he’s honest. He truly believes extorting people you may have power over is the most perfect use of a phone call.

    @taumaturgo: Trump hasn’t said shit about the case that Chutkan issued the Protective Order on.  He’s free to do so on other cases unless the judges on them pass similar Protective Orders, which they likely will.

  107. 107.

    WaterGirl

    @NotMax: Trump will try to be cute and only taunt the people from the cases that don’t have a protective order, and he’s either gonna get himself in trouble for being too cute by half or he will get confused about which case he can’t stir the pot for, and he’ll land in hot water that way.

    I just hope that when it happens, the water is VERY HOT.

    @taumaturgo: I think the promise of Chutkan setting an earlier trial date if TIFG doesn’t toe the line is the ONE thing that will bring TIFG to heel. He wants to delay as long as possible.

    He DOESN’T want an early trial at all.

    @scav: You mock, but I genuinely expect an attack on Loving v Virginia within the next 5 years at most. They’ll wait to see how the 24 election turns out, and if there’s absolutely no chance of Dem court packing, one of the Southern state legislatures will pass a law against it. Which is terrifying for me because I recently learned my niece is dating a black man, and the closest thing I’ll ever have to a son (a former student of mine from my teaching days) is another black man also living in Mississippi who is in an interracial marriage and has a mixed race child.

    @pat:

    VOANews.com:

    Two witnesses who previously received subpoenas confirmed on Saturday that they have been told to appear before a grand jury in Atlanta on Tuesday, the clearest indication yet that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis will lay out her case to the jury after more than two years of investigating.

    Geoff Duncan, the state’s former lieutenant governor, told CNN that he had been asked to testify on Tuesday.

    “I’ll certainly answer whatever questions are put in front of me,” said Duncan, a Republican who has criticized Trump’s false conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.

    An independent journalist, George Chidi, said in a post on X, the site formerly known as Twitter, that he had also been instructed to appear on Tuesday.

    A spokesperson for Willis’ office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Saturday. She has indicated she would seek charges by the end of next week, and security measures have visibly increased around the county courthouse in recent weeks.

    (Emphasis added.)

    The story has a February 2021 picture of her “at her office”. All you can see is her and walls of numbered banker boxes (the largest I see is “265”)…

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    @Citizen Alan: Let me assure you, I do not mock — or more exactly, do not mock without expectations.  They’ll also potentially start policing schoolyards for overt evidence of uncomforting interpersonal relationships in both staff and maybe even parents.  Schools could be confined in closets to protect the threatened wee excuses.  They do love to control local levels and those already crazed school boards will need a stream of new targets.

    Now that there is a protective order in place it’s a whole new ball game.

    The protective order is only for once case – and there are at least 3 others right now, with more to come.
