How Prosecutors are Building the Case
I’m very pleased they’re dotting their i’s and crossing their t’s! I just want them to get it right and work their way UP the ladder.
Expanding the Supreme Court
I would LOVE for that to happen – especially if we want to preserve our democracy.
And while you’re at it, get rid of lifetime appointments. Ten to fifteen years is plenty long!
Beauchamp Praises Democrats For Leaving The State To Protect Voting Rights
I agree. But I was really enamored (read jealous) of his cool beard!
Caitlin Jenner Booed at CPAC
Caitlin: “Well, I never thought the leopard would eat MY face.”
Trump’s buyer’s remorse over Kavanaugh
If this surprised anyone, then they weren’t paying attention. Trump has only ONE loyalty: himself.
That is indeed an epic beard.
I doubt that anyone was surprised Tremp** turned on Kavanaugh, and will turn on Gursuch and Barrett if he already hasn’t. The attention is more like “Gee, we knew he was a serial rapist, but that wouldn’t bother Trump**. What the hell else did we miss while distracted by that?”
GK: Build, baby, build! Yes, it was nice to hear of the status of the investigation.
MSNBC: Of course he’s a loon! Wolff only had to ask me, right? The loon finds loony lawyers. Another probable melt-down is on the horizon for 8/13/21, and then, when HE gets indicted!!!!!!!!
RR: It’s not “pure rubbish,” it’s pure projection!
VV:Excellent!!!!
LR: Well said.
Keith: No, I never thought it was good news, never thought that the FBI statement was more than just a careful CYA moment, because they had no “evidence” to support the assumption that the game was being targeted. The good news was that they arrested the scum behind the caching!
Beau: TOT is not interested in anything, in this, and other instances of “Picking people,” other than what he thinks he can get out of it.
P.S.: Has anybody heard anything from Ms.Wendy?
Not since we all told her to for heaven’s sake go enjoy her Florida vacation, that we’d still be here. She doesn’t have your address there either, so we just need to wait. AAnd ppray she stays safe from Covid.
P.P.S: In gave a listen to the GK piece on Barr’s interview with the Atlantic, and think it is worth a look: https://youtu.be/lu0OXzRVeH8
Also here (you knew I wouldn’t have missed putting it up..)
6/28/21…I missed coming to PP, or to the video thread that day. I’m glad you got that up.
JM: Unprecedented speed? 535 arrested, 235 indicted, only one sentenced in 6 months. I made a mistake on the thread by saying that there were nearly 600 indictments, I should have said they were the number of arrests. All of these were footmen. I’m sorry, I can’t share Kirschner’s excitement over this. Not with let-bygones-be-bygones at the helm.
MSNBC: So Trump is a loony and had a meltdown on November 3rd. Nothing new there. But Trump wasn’t alone, as Wolff contents, definitely not on January 6th and he still has the whole GQP standing firm behind him, ostracizing anyone within the party that doesn’t align themselves with that. When will there be a book on their infectious insanity?
RR: It is absolutely something Democrats need to do to restore balance. However, it will not necessarily make SCOTUS function any better as its decisions are based on teamwork, not positively restored by adding more Democrats unless they can overcome its inherent division, and it usually requires a smaller number (7-8) to work best.
VV: Kudos to Mr Beauchamp.
LR: Trae is both spot-on and very funny. I wish I could see one of his stand-up gigs.
KO: Yup, Keith was right and righteous in his rant.
Beau: Beau can be very funny too, and it’s good to see his face light up with glee after all the dead-serious subjects he discussed before. Calling Kavanaugh Trump’s buyer’s remorse is brilliant, it says it all in a few words. And the worst of it for Trump is that he can’t have the Republicans “return” Kavanaugh or do so himself in 2024, as he hopes. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that Amy Coney Barrett will be McConnell’s buyer’s remorse soon. I can dream, can’t I?
Gorsuch, kind of surpsingly but it’s well known, has some principles regarding Native Americans and treaties we have made with them. If Chase Iron Eyes and the rest of the native America lawyers who are doing such good work can get enough cases there in the near future we may get som fossil fuel companies with buyer’s remorse. The first decision he authored involved a Native American treaty and I was blown away that I was fully in agreement with it. See, I can dream too.
And, I’m not crazy about it either, but American justice does work that slowly.It took a year ans a half from Virgil’s most recent arrest in July 2011 to December 2012 for him to get sentenced, and there was never any question how he would plead, and there was no one else involved for him to testify against, which would have made the whole thing a lot more complicated.. His counsel was just trying to get him a shorter sentence, and/or at least not an indefinite one. She did her best and probably did get some knocked off, but could not get a definite sentence. Then after that it took another month and a half to get him placed in an actual prison.where I could visit.
These indicted people are not running around loose any moe than Virgil was, either. Maybe one or two are, but the fereal judges are being pretty hard-assed on not allowing bail.
