Ah yes, the good ‘ol the decedent slipped and fell onto the knife my client was holding, um, a few times, defense:
Real America’s Voice host Karyn Turk wondered if the FBI had “planted” evidence.
“Nobody observed it,” Bobb confirmed. “No, there wasn’t. To your point, this was a completely unnecessary power flex. It was a weird flex. It’s quite honestly sad to see what they have done to our country.”
“No, there is no security that something wasn’t planted,” she added. “I’m not saying that’s what they did.”
She’s just saying it would be irresponsible not to speculate. I mean it’s out there.
This is the way a lawyer talks when her client is in a world of hurt.
The FBI seizure of evidence at the loser’s shithole palace has the GOP and the GOP’s propaganda arm popping off and vowing revenge. It all sounds very “Banana Republic” to me.
Ingraham: “When we get power back, it’s time to hold everyone accountable.. the military leadership, the civilian leadership, the civil service, those in Congress who have abused their power”
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy: “When Republicans take back the House, we will conduct immediate oversight of this department, follow the facts, and leave no stone unturned,” McCarthy tweeted. “Attorney General Garland, preserve your documents and clear your calendar.”
I watched a little bit of Fox News last night to get a flavor for what kind of nonsense they were spoon feeding the moronic dipshits known as Fox News viewers. The major themes seemed to be:
But, but , but Hilary Clinton’s email server.
But, but, but Hunter Biden is crimes and gangstering.
Banana Republic!
We can’t enforce laws because fascist might get mad.
Be prepared to hear “Banana Republic” a lot. Alan Dershowitz, who Fox News considers to be smart, was exclaiming “Banana Republic!” last night, and that seemed to be picked up pretty quickly by the braying Fox News mutton heads.
There might be more, but I couldn’t stomach watching more than about 10 minutes.
I met some DL commenters and chatted with some of our best legislators last night at the York fundraiser. FWIW, here is my take on York’s chances.
The convicted Auditor is popular in Sussex. She is the kind of person who shows up at everything. Knows everyone’s name asks about the kids by name and people love that shit. She is a Karen’s Karen. If it was a general election York would have a heavy lift, but this is a primary.
Primary voters aren’t normal voters. They pay more attention and know the increased value of their vote. Primary voters aren’t as easily swayed by the glad-handing things the convicted auditor excels at.
That said the wild card is the unions. I have’t tracked endorsements, but I watched the union vote swamp much better candidates in primaries because the numbers they can turn out in a primary are significant.
Ever since SCOTUS pulled its gangland-style execution of Roe, Josh Marshall over at Talking Points Memo has been stumping for Democrats to make the issue the centerpiece of the midterm elections. Obviously this makes a great deal of sense, and so just as obviously the people who run the Democratic Party will have to be […]
I has been pointed out that the US Senate is a dumbass institution where it takes 51 votes to protect private equity from taxation, but 57 votes aren’t enough to ensure that diabetics have affordable insulin. If the Democratic Party had any fight in it, they’d be able to murder the GOP on this pro-Big […]
The teacher shortage in Florida is so acute, DeSantis plans to allow military veterans to teach in Florida provided these subs have 60 hours of college coursework and attained a 2.5 GPA.
The Clintonite wisdom embodied by the headline has held the Democratic Party in its thrall for going on 30 years now. In spite of the mountains of evidence that it is pure bullshit and should have been shit-canned years ago, it has the survival instincts of Rasputin.
We are supposed to be the workers’ party. Democrats must be that party again. We must sharpen the difference between us—historically, America’s party of workers—and the party of big business.
Many are waking up to this reality.
As inflation continues to batter families’ bank accounts—and the president’s poll numbers—even free-traders of yesteryear are beginning to admit the problems of a labyrinthine supply chain stretched across the globe.
And for the first time in my memory, there’s real momentum to take action to fix it. Democrats just passed the kind of industrial policy we haven’t seen in many decades, to build out domestic supply chains of key inputs like semiconductors.
It will create the kind of jobs that too many communities have lost. And it sends a clear message to these Americans that we have not forgotten them.
None of this requires compromising on our values. A commitment to populist economics and fair trade isn’t just compatible with a commitment to social justice—the two naturally go together. One need only read Martin Luther King’s dozens of speeches to unions, and ponder what he was doing when he was killed, to remember the deep connection between workers’ rights and civil rights.
A relentless focus on populist economics wins out over Republicans’ manufactured culture war.
Not Breaking News: The Mayor doesn’t work for the people who live in the Southbridge neighborhood of Wilmington. He works for the rich white people that he hopes to move in there and the rich white developers that hope to make some bank from moving them in.
Southbridge Civic Association Vice President Haneef Salaam joins Rob in the bunker to talk about how a community-supported development process was blocked by the city of Wilmington, and what that might mean for their broader goals to remake the city in BPG’s image.
Attorney Mark Bankston, representing Sandy Hook parents that Alex Jones’ falsely accused of hoaxing the gun massacre that killed their children, told a Texas judge today that Alex Jones’ phone contains “intimate messages with Roger Stone.” The two men are often spotted together in their work as Trumpite provocateurs. – Via Boing Boing It […]
A bunch of election denying Trumpist Nutbags won last night in swing states. Joe Scarborough thinks it is great news for Democrats because they are so crazy. I’m not sure that math holds up.
What’s going on in the Sussex Recorder of Deeds GOP primary? Do you really have to go full on GunNut-Patriot-MAGA-shithead to fill this office?
Speaking of primary races, we are 41 days out and if you can help out directly, money is nice. If five people give $20.00 to DeShanna Neal today to help her defeat Kop Kabalist Larry Mitchell, I’ll match that $100.
