It's good to see.

If we lose federalism, states lose democracy. If the GOP rigs the game at the federal level, blue states will be occupied and forced to support red states. The only way to prevent that outcome is to have Congress as a check on executive power
Regardless of which network employs her, the media had no problem fighting with Democratic presidents. They even hounded Biden for acting his age, which Trump is much more guilty of.
No, it is eugenics. They think letting these children die will purge the gene pool of defects. Natural selection, don’t you know.
What is not textbook is the size and organization of this country. The regime is weak. Most people, even in L.A. and D.C., are not affected by what the regime is doing. We don’t even see it (in L.A. right now). The reason lawyers see it is because of the complicity of SCOTUS and the GOP Congress.

It is troubling, thought, that the majority agreed that tariffs fit within the regulatory schema of IEEPA. As the concurrence argues, tariffs aren’t regulations.
How did four judges vote for the tariffs?
He is a stand up comic. The acting career flowed from that.
When did journalists become fluffers?
Netanyahu referring to Palestinians as Amalekites kind of gave the game away. Saul lost his kingship because he failed to commit genocide on the Amalekites. Bibi was dog whistling he would not make the same mistake as Saul. www.npr.org/2023/11/07/1...
I smoke a cigarette once. That makes me a "former smoker."
Folks do realize that Newsom has to win the Democratic nomination before this argument is even ripe, right? Now is the EXACT time to air concerns about Newsom's qualifications and policies. Frankly, I don't think he can win the Dem nomination because he can't win a presidential campaign.
(1) assault v. (2) assault followed by robbery or kidnapping, for example.
Trump, Rufo, and the GOP generally cannot be hypocrites because they don’t believe in anything but acquiring power. Democratic leadership also don’t believe in anything but maintaining what little power they have, which makes them worse than hypocrites. They’re fucking losers placating their masters
I am not understanding the “but.” Who fucking cares. He was a loser who convinced other losers to follow him, making him first loser. Yay? Sick burn, my dude.

The dollar is down since the announcement, though.
The futures markets aren’t reacting.
I don't believe that photo is real. Either it was generated by AI, or it was digitally manipulated in some way.
Ebooks are probably considered a service, not a good. I am sure there’s a way to find the answer.
We must disemvowel the triggering words.
Now explain the right wing rage over the Cracker Barrel logo refresh. Sometimes, reactionaries just react to things that are only in their minds. How would plain language made them not react as they did to an imagined insult?
There’s no reason to be mad, but the Clintons’ ties to Epstein and Maxwell are old news, and the whole point of “Release the Epstein Files!” was to prosecute the Clintons. The story isn’t worth covering or reading because it doesn’t advance anything but the original right-wing narrative. So what?
That sucks, but two is a couple of people, not lots of people.
I think the only people who will care about this story are Trump supporters who love them some both-sidesism. The narrative that led us to this place is “top level Dems like the Clintons are pedophiles, and Trump will expose them by releasing the Epstein Files.” This “news” is what we already knew.
Actually, the Democrats don’t engage in messaging. They just react to GOP/Fox messaging that gets mainstreamed regardless of its truth, like all those words some people have become convinced most Democrats use when they actually don’t.
We need the receipts proving that the language was pushed from the top instead of the bottom. Thanks.
Don’t be a moron.
Apparently, the company building the wind farm is Danish. Does Denmark have something that Trump wants? It’s a shakedown, and Trump is the perp and the intended beneficiary.
The rules may say that.
Republicans calling historically Christian politics “communism” and “socialism” is a much larger part of the reason we are here now. Fucking Adam Smith would be smeared as a pinko communist.
I have friends who are pedants, so I don’t see you as defending their actions. Just an FYI.
We are too close to current events to know whether or not the Israeli government has done the same as the Nazis. I mean, Netanyahu was dog whistling his intention to impose a Biblical ban on Gaza since the first week after 10/7. Anyway, being so pedantic makes it seem like you are defending Israel.
It is pretty clear that cops don’t prevent crime, they solve crimes at lower rates than ever, and they kill a lot of innocent people. Maybe we need better cops, not more cops. Quality over quantity.
We go to a restaurant who serves chicken and waffles where the waffles are mac and cheese.
And it is going to get worse before it gets better.
What did Putin use to "gut-punch" Trump?
I don't man, I am sure each and every ICE agent has an extensive collection of dildos.
"ICE will run out of dildos before we run out of posterboard" is not a sentence I expected to ever write, but here we are.
Grok.
He is a nonstarter for the presidential primaries. If he wins the nomination, things change. That said, he can’t win because nobody on the right will accept that he has really moved right, and his moves right lost him more voters than he can possibly gain.
When it comes to his political future, Newsom divided us, and nobody else.
Newsom doesn’t get to throw our most vulnerable citizens under the bus without being held to account. He killed his own political career with that move, and that’s on him.
The GOP replaced Gingrich with Denny Hastert, a pedophile. Maybe they thought Newt was too ethical.
I get why this is fun, but Newsom is unelectable.
Pussy. You would rather live as a slave than be free.
They watch too much Fox News, who insisted Seattle was destroyed by George Floyd protests.
No to Newsom. No to Schiff. And many, many more Dems.
Where are the masks? They might get doxed!
I am not mystified by people who claim to be believers. It is a form of clout, whether or not they actually believe. I understand and accept the idea of a creator, what I don’t get is the creator demanding to be worshipped, which seems petty. “I created you. Worship me or go to Hell.”
So, are Christian Nationalists and evangelicals, generally, actually believers? If so, do they believe in the same things you do?
Dude thinks shooters walk. Need a car to carry the guns and ammo.
Have you ever resigned a lucrative position because of ethical concerns? I have. Maybe you think having ethics is being an idiot. Please realize you are not defending Maxwell’s attorney, you are being defensive w/o having the facts. That shows poor judgment. Not my fault.
There is no ethical quandary with respect to Maxwell. Representing her on her appeal or in the regular pardon process is ethical. Joining in a sham legal process of a proffer with a known liar as witness who no ethical DOJ attorney would put up in a trial is unethical. This is politics, not law.
Nevertheless, all of us are subject to the same ethical rules, and so I am in a position to weigh in on that topic, which is all I have done.
You realize you are just saying “I’m just following my client’s orders,” right? That’s the reason the legal profession promulgated ethical rules after Watergate. The fact that you tried to change the topic from the straight up legal ethics issue I raised is a tell: you know you behave unethically.
Mostly patent litigation and licensing, but I have also served two publicly traded Silicon Valley companies as general counsel, so I have experience in HR, M&A, and corporate compliance, as well. How about you? What have you done as a lawyer?
As someone who voted for Newsom before he did his heel turn, I agree. I cannot vote for him, and he has no idea how much Fox News has Hillaried him. To any Fox News viewer, Newsom is the Clinton’s red headed step-child.
Enslavement? Sure. Forced emigration? Sure. Eradication? Give me some examples. Also, the story is the story. Saul did not commit genocide and was punished for it. Everything else is theological dress-up to make that fact palatable.
The specific sin that led to God deposing Saul was Saul's refusal to commit genocide against the Amalekites ("put Amalek under the ban.") 1 Samuel 15:17-29. David is not introduced until after God declares Saul is no longer king.
In the Hebrew Bible, Saul lost his kingship because he did not commit genocide as ordered by God. Netanyahu specifically identified the Palestinians as the people Saul failed to commit genocide against, basically a dog saying Bibi would not Make the same mistake.
I have been a member of the bar since 1993, and I have seen a steady erosion of ethical standards ever since. Lawyers like you don’t surprise me. You think of yourself as a realist, not a Boy Scout. Nevertheless, you clearly aren’t constrained by ethics. There is no black and white, only gray.
The reason we no longer have the Rule of Law is because of lawyers like you. Maxwell committed perjury multiple times. She was even charged with it. Is it ethical for an attorney to put his client up as a witness knowing it is likely she will perjure herself? What is a proffer but testimony?
Democrats will never have a Stephen Miller because, unlike Miller, they don’t actually believe in anything. Also, Miller believes in some heinous shit, and the only reason he can get anything done is his boss is an incompetent dotard suffering from dementia. Miller is incompetent, as well.
The government put Maxwell in jail. It is Donald Trump, the individual, who wants something, and he is corruptly using his office of President to achieve it. Maxwell’s attorney knows he is trying to help her make a corrupt bargain outside of normal legal process. That is not zealous advocacy.
Papa Roach reference?
But Wall Street and Big Business believed Biden. They won’t believe Trump, and so the markets will tank and corporations will lay off a lot of people to “right-size.” The average Trump voter pays no attention to financial indicators, and it was really fucking stupid of him to give them a reason to.
Teddy Roosevelt gave the American people a Square Deal. FDR gave them a New Deal. Trump has given us a Raw Deal.
Interesting analysis of the California constitution and law re: redistricting: vrp.ucla.edu/wp-content/u...
Someone had a heart attack when we took the California Bar Exam in 1993. The proctors were right on it, but nobody else was allowed a break or extra time them, either, even the fellow test taker who stopped to help the person having the heart attack.
Not really. Neoliberalism was born well before the 1970s, which is why it was available for adoption in the 1970s and 1980s.
Neoliberalism was born well before the war on inflation. That’s why it was ready to launch when it did.
This is dark, man. And it is 100% correct, too.
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
This article is such a bad take. Back in the day, when we allowed state and local taxes to support state and local governments to provide services directly, such services were provided quite ably. But now, in the Abundance Era, which started with Reagan, we need to subsidize private profits.
We are not living in a matriarchy, not even close. We are living in a patriarchy in which older men decide which younger men will be their successors. Patriarchy has never been for the benefit of all men.
Sounds wonderful.
Gotta like the AI image of him. Those AI glitched fingers on his shoulder are not creepy at all. Ultra realistic.
Criticizing Israel does not mean you are saying Israel does not have the right to exist. That’s a bad take. Think about it, and try again.
The line is a net worth anywhere south of $20 million, as long as you stop striving for more and arrange to give away what more you do make. This may seem arbitrary, and it is, but that level of net worth should let you live your life in comfort anywhere in the world.
This is silly. Having many millions (how many, 10) is not the same as having one billion, and you should be allowed to criticize the existence of billionaires when you don’t live in abject poverty, even it if that means you have many millions.
This is what you get when you tell people, falsely, they all have free will.
Pardoning Maxwell won’t be enough. Show trials of Democrats are going to have to happen.
Kangaroo courts don’t care about the credibility of witnesses.
I am an intermittent subscriber to The Atlantic (currently subscribed). What makes The Atlantic special compared to other publications I subscribe to (NYT, WaPo, WSJ, ProPublica, The Nation and many more) is unlimited free gift articles. Also, I love all the contributors they have added recently.
The Daily Mail reported the Bill Clinton letter five days ago. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...
Actually, these people are not those people. Those people were neocons and paleocons. These people are just cons and grifters.
@zoognosisjoy.bsky.social
Flip the question.
They need her to accuse Bill Clinton or someone like that. That’s what the base demands.
Look at that cliff erosion in picture 43.
The statute of limitations ran out long ago. Empty Threat Tulsi.
Maybe. I wouldn’t be shocked if the WSJ pushed a forgery to help Trump in the long run. Discrediting the integrity of a mainstream media outlet like the WSJ would be a PR coup for Trump and end any discussion of Epstein. Rupert Murdoch is a Trump ally. Hope not, though.
There was a reason: ICE needed to fill its daily deportation quota. It’s not a good reason, but that’s what quotas on law enforcement inevitably do: harm the innocent.
We need to consider the possibility that Rupert Murdoch and Trump are working together to defuse the Epstein story by publishing the equivalent of the Dubya National Guard memo/story. Don’t get too invested in the story. Stay cautious.
An order on summary judgment is an order on the merits. Still, I wouldn’t be surprised if Thomas and Alito play along. The other four won’t.
