Barr To Trump: Don’t Make Me Quit.  Translation: If you keep me from using plausible deniability to do your dirty work, I won’t be able to continue to do your dirty work.

Trump Pardons Persons Of His–Ilk.  Make no mistake–this is a message to all of the miscreants who have done his bidding–you’re next:

But the president’s announcements on Tuesday were mostly aimed at wiping clean the slates of rich, powerful and well-connected white men. And they came after years of sophisticated public relations campaigns aimed at persuading Mr. Trump to exercise the authority given to him under the Constitution.

And some props for Bernie:

“Today, Trump granted clemency to tax cheats, Wall Street crooks, billionaires and corrupt government officials,” said Senator Bernie Sanders, independent of Vermont, the leading Democratic candidate for president. “Meanwhile, thousands of poor and working-class kids sit in jail for nonviolent drug convictions. This is what a broken and racist criminal justice system looks like.”

Georgia Rethug Voter Suppression Tactics Required To Be Made Public.  This is largely the work of one great reporter–Greg Palast.  The 2018 Georgia Governor’s race was stolen by these suppression tactics. I believe that suppression of the black vote is the only roadblock to a D victory there.  The judge in this case ruled that the defendants’ case was so weak that she ordered the release of the material w/o even holding a trial. If this holds, this is great news.

Trump Brings In Cambridge Analytica Alum To Steer Data Op.  He will do everything to steal the election.  D’s simply can’t play nice.

Workers At Nation’s Largest Health Care Contractor Seek To Unionize.  Why? Because Maximus offers its employees less than the Minimus. Which explains the Animus. OK, I’ll stop now.

Four Dead At Homeless Camp Near Stanton.  That phrase ‘homeless camp’ is one we should never get used to. In a Delaware that looked after everyone, not just the connected, there would be no homeless camps.
