Thank you, Madame Wormtongue. You have now proved beyond any shadow of doubt that you have absolutely zero credibility, and nobody should ever again believe a single word you say.
It's not only that, the DOJ is abusing the funding for the judicial system. If Republicans are claiming they are the party of fiscal responsibility, then this is not what trustee management looks like. They are harrassing innocent citizens, and when their cases fail, they tell all citizens to pay for their mistakes and shenanigans. These federal prosecutors should be personally charged and disbarred for their harrassment.
The description of the 7th Circuit's decision is incorrect. The court didn't "uphold" the TRO. The court ruled on the government's motion for an administrative stay and stay pending appeal. The court refused for the most part to issue a stay pending appeal, just as the district court had done. But the merits of the TRO (which the court of appeals found essentially to be a preliminary injunction) are still before the court on appeal. The appeal will now be briefed in the ordinary course. Let's get the legal details right, please.
While somewhat acceptable the screenshots of texts isn't a best practice in presenting your evidence. Those could be easily made on a burner phone or really anybody's phone. The phones really should have had a forensic image made of them to be admissible at the cost of the government.
What I saw in my career as a journalist is that my house was falling apart around me. I didn’t do the upkeep I should have while I was writing.
One day I noticed water dripping onto my desk from the ceiling in the billiard room - which I used as my study.
The roof leaked. I kept telling myself I'd fix it someday - but that day never seemed to come.
I don’t know why I chose the billiard room. The house had 24 others. It was a Gothic Victorian Western Homestead with cathedral ceilings. It was my idea, or at least I had asked for them. They seemed to be a good thing at the time.
In retrospect, that was a lot of slate sitting over my head. It must have also been raining in some of the other rooms. But, I never had the time to revisit them and check.
They were mostly for guests, servants, and other things like kitchens and bathrooms. I figured their occupants would take care of it, and tell me if something was going wrong.
All the fireplaces also kept catching fire. Not just the hearth - the whole damn thing, chimney and all. I suppose I should’ve had the sweeps clean out the suet now and then.
I was always fascinated by new fangled gizmos. We’d hauled in all the modern conveniences of the time. We had the first flush toilets, hot water radiators, and even gas lighting fixtures in every room, with a lot of buried pipes in the walls.
The place was built like a fortress, with wood siding on the outside to give it some western hospitality and make it look like a ranch. I know, I know - with cathedral ceilings. What was I thinking?
The pipes were embedded between two layers of pressure bricks, covered by slats and plaster. When we had plumbing problems, we couldn’t get at anything to fix it. So, we left it alone.
I’m surprised the whole house didn’t blow up while we were still living in it.
That’s erosion for you - it creeps up when you least expect it. I didn’t have the money to maintain the place, even if I’d tried. The mortgage had already reached the moon. So, we had to sell it - and move out.
Empires have a way of quietly collapsing in the same steps.
It starts with picking on those who no one will defend. The homeless, the destitute, the disabled, and the aged - all who are estranged or abandoned. It happens to all of us as we get older. We get locked inside what's left of our minds.
Nobody cares if we cease to exist. We become a problem to others, and the easiest targets for a regime, because there's no resistance when it comes to our welfare.
Then the regime moves on to those who are different and unwanted. The gays, the know-it-alls, the people of color, and other minorities.
It’s not done because of anything about them. These groups can offer some opposition, especially with outside support. It’s done to acclimate the rest of us - to make it seem normal for the government to do this, and teach us not to get involved.
Finally, the regime goes after all of us. It’s the women, the dissenters, the contrarians, the reporters, the teachers, and the truthers.
Then come the doers. The librarians, the inventors, the technicians, the explorers, the builders, the healers, and the people who ask questions.
They don’t stop there. They come for the children, the progressives, the rebellious, the experts - and anyone else who might one day get in the way.
It’s anyone who doesn’t offer VALUE to the few still clinging to power. And those who remain, party like it’s the roaring twenties - while everything else is falling apart around them.
By then, it’s too late. There’s nobody left to be ruled. A once-great nation is gone. Trust me, you don’t get it back. I wish I’d taken better care of my own house when I had it.
Tomorrow is No Kings Day. Let the crowns fail, and not the country fall.
The cases are about the prosecution, not convictions. It’s about a bully lashing out and punching down.
As for Bolton, though, the irony’s awful. For all the merit there, it doubles as a triggering reminder of how the Biden DOJ failed the nation by being unable and likely disinterested in getting a comparable indictment against Trump. Trump’s corrupt DOJ managed to do in nine months what Biden’s couldn’t do in four years.
Of course, the tell is that when Trump had the case moved to an improper venue, Biden’s DOJ did nothing about leaving the case assigned to an improper judge who made it clear that she was going to protect the defendant.
And the fact that it’s clear in hindsight that the Robert’s junta would protect Trump is irrelevant. Had the case been able to proceed far enough, a political case would have been made so that even if the Don beat the rap, his unfitness for office would be that much clearer.
And that might of likely made the difference in 2024.
But then again, the post-DLC/Clinton DNC doesn’t really fight Republicans no matter what. And here they’ve helped bring us.
Per press secretary Carolyn Levitt, one might conclude that there are more Hamas in the Democratic Party than there are in the Gaza Strip.
Also, I'm still waiting for the check for my participation in No King's I.

If Trump had been impeached for J6, we wouldn't have this mess.
That too.
But four years of subsequent failure…
