Yet another example of their malevolence being tempered by their incompetence

And I guess there's a snowball's chance in hell that the Acting Special Counsel of the U.S. Office of Special Counsel - Jamieson Greer I believe -- is going to open an investigation.

Thanks for sharing.

Great article. As I read this, I kept mentally ticking off each prediction you made that has come true.

Great read.

I recommend those who don't currently support Lawfare to immediately do so. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Very true. Trump doesn't care.

Sad, but true.

Appropriate response from Christopher Mattai: "...It’s as disgusting as it is pathetic, and we will not stand for it."

There's nothing in his bio that even suggests his employer or job. And examining the posts I see nothing about his (former) employer or job.

At first impressions, it appears like his first amendment rights were violated.

I think Orange County Sheriff Charles Blackwood should be asked about this.

Michael Piracci 👀🏃‍♂️🎸🫜📕🇺🇸💻🏴󠁵󠁳󠁮󠁣󠁿󠁵󠁳󠁮󠁮󠁣󠁿 @piraccim.bsky.social · 22d

I'd like to see a reporter from The News & Observer get the Standards of Conduct section of the Orange County Sheriff's Office policy manual, and the Speech, Expression, and Social Networking section, and compare it to Mr. Edwards posts.

Sorry. Yes, I see it now.

Amen brother.

And add to that anyone who is a narcissist.

🔥 What case was this response in reference to? TIA

Michael Piracci 👀🏃‍♂️🎸🫜📕🇺🇸💻🏴󠁵󠁳󠁮󠁣󠁿󠁵󠁳󠁮󠁮󠁣󠁿 @piraccim.bsky.social · 26d

Will there be any repercussions? That is, can the judge take any action to prevent and punish this behavior?

I think this generated picture of Air Force One is better than the AI-generated picture in this article.

Update: today I read an article that said Musk was invited to last night’s White House dinner and meeting.

Michael Piracci 👀🏃‍♂️🎸🫜📕🇺🇸💻🏴󠁵󠁳󠁮󠁣󠁿󠁵󠁳󠁮󠁮󠁣󠁿 @piraccim.bsky.social · Sep 4

Reminds me of the Biden administration not inviting Musk to a summit featuring EV makers.

I would rather had Biden's brain in a jar over Trump, but this was a huge mistake.

Oh brother.

What's next Florida? Making it illegal to use car seat belts or use child car seats?

And it's probably a given -- maybe illegal already in Florida -- to use fluoride in public drinking water.

Thanks for sharing. Good write-up.

IMO, the examples cited in the article serve as more evidence of the Trump administration's incompetence.

Their malevolence is tempered by their incompetence.

What you wrote here is so true!

And seeing how he is so egregiously NOT following the Take Care Clause is obviously terrible.

However, I couldn't help but think of the Standup Philosopher scene from History of the World Part I w/ Bea Arthur and Mel Brooks: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tl4V...
