Well, well, well - once again we see who the Green Party are: far left morons too stupid to be let out their front door without adult supervision. Their whole "theory of revolution" is that they must defeat "progressives," who divert the "masses" from seeing their true calling: a revolution (with, surprise surprise, the Green Party taking leadership). To do this, the "contradictions must be intensified" (these people have read Lenin, for sure) by the election of right wingers who will make things worse and thereby push the masses to revolt.

This is the policy carried out by the German Communists between 1928-33, campaigning against the Social Democrats as "Social Fascists" and claiming that a Nazi victory would "speed the revolution." Even the least historically-literate among us knows how that played out.

The Greens have been documented taking money from Republicans to fund a candidate who will drain votes from the otherwise-electable Democrat, relying on the low-information "progressives" to "vote their conscience" for the good guy in the race. "Voting your conscience" for a candidate with no hope of winning is ALWAYS a vote in favor of the candidate and party you detest; doing that ALWAYS gets you what you don't want.

No matter how bad it has been, it only continues to get worse thanks to Trump’s Criminal enterprise inclusive of the Heritage, the MAGA Supreme Court, the GOP, and so .

Aileen Cannon is primarily wasting time here. She will not rule against Smith on anything he can appeal because if she does he will not just appeal but ask for her removal from the case. She is not "in over her head" she knows exactly what she is doing.

No news is good news on Tuesday. Ugh.

The crazy people (rightly) supportive of Assange’s release is the shot.

The chaser is that it was Biden’s DOJ that did the job.

Chaser #2: one would think Trump would have shown Assange some loyalty (the leaks made Clinton look bad) by having his DOJ resolve the matter.

This has been yet another example why I suffer from having any due respect for Republicans and each and every one of their supporters and enablers.

To be clear, I’m happy over Assange’s release because I believe in lesser sentences instead of greater ones. In this case, he did his time. Of course, there’s still the Swedish affair IIRC…

He should have gotten life in a windowless 8x10 down on the third sub basement level of the Florence Supermax. With all his other ilk.

Can’t agree but also can’t disagree.

Other than giving Team Trump a little, maybe inadvertent, help in 2016, he’s of no great importance. His current circumstances stem from his being a not wonderful human being and then decided to dodge justice, as it were, in Sweden. He chose to destroy his life; the supporters ID’d in today’s post are unlikely to give enough aid to make up for what he put himself through.

He’s not important

Yeah, I'm OK with time served.

Julian Assange better watch his back during his voyage to Oz via the Marianas...am I the only one to believe that some sort of "accident" could befall him or the aircraft carrying him? US govt. wanted the death penalty for Assange, and the CIA has a long reach. Yes, very tin-hatty, but the Russians and Israelis are past masters in offing "enemies" abroad, and nothing suggests that the Americans - and their partners at the ASIO - won't be above having a surprise or two for Assange once he's settled at home - assuming of course he makes it there it one piece.

The Assange supporters don't surprise me. The tankie support has always been bread and butter. Greene wasn't around a decade ago, and Carlson's fortunes have reversed in that time. If it were the official Fox line that this was a good thing, and if, IDK, John Cornyn were backing him, that would surprise me. As it is, it's the same collection of fringe quasi politicians in his nest.
