I know Dunning-Kruger references are overused, Mr. President, but the concept does seem particularly apt here.
That, or did you mean inanity?
Bower is a mensch.

And Halligan is a hammerhead. Not in the shark sense, but in the head-consisting-of-hammers sense.
I particularly enjoyed Halligan’s claim that Bower “isn’t even a journalist, so it’s weird saying” that her chats were off the record.

I mean, if Bower’s not even a journalist — if she’s just someone on social media — there is really no such thing as “off the record.”
Immense respect to Anna Bower.

She’s been doing exceptional work with Lawfare for several years now. Let’s hope she doesn’t jump to one of the “mainstream” outlets, where she assuredly wouldn’t be allowed to do work of this quality.
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Judge Ryan Fucking Nelson confirms that he is a very bad guy.

His concurrence begins with the claim that courts have no review authority here at all, and that he isn’t even bound by Newsom. He goes on to author a nauseating master class in judicial suicide in the face of fascistic executive power.
A few calls to the big milk guys might do the trick.

The next president has to tear the goddamn thing down. I am not kidding. Use private money. It can be found. Make a show of it.
Why are you people unwilling to say what literally everyone on the planet who reads this knows, which is that he lied?
If ICE/CBP hasn’t unilaterally directed the internal preservation of evidence relating to these events, like video, then any “lost” evidence is tantamount to a concession that it’s pretty ugly for them. It seriously undermines what vanishingly sparse credibility these people have left.
This shitty little insurance defense lawyer from Florida is going to get . . . flattened.

Every judge in that (very serious) court knows that she, personally, is a clown, and that everything the prosecution does and says is political. Humiliation awaits these execrable people.
They’re cheap, so the folks over at the Blood-Bought Army of the Reedemed Church of the Living Fire in Enid use them as wafers.
We always knew these people were, in fact, lunatics.
“And I’ll pay you back, I swear to God. I know a guy who has some stuff comin’ in and he said if I help I can make some serious cash."
Chip Roy: “That thang’s bogus. Look at all them typos."
This man is the Platonic ideal of soulless sycophancy.
It is impossible to overstate how catastrophic this vile, lunatic clown’s behavior is for what little remains of American prestige.

He’s a pathetic, decompensating mobster who cares only that somebody — anybody — tell him that he’s a great man. The world just looks at him in horror.
Maybe . . . but just as likely not.

These people are not to be trusted — the bald-face lie is now the federal government’s preferred tool for evading oversight.
I get the point, but it’s probably best that they leave and go back to wherever the hell they came from. They have, I’m confident, no interest in actually understanding Chicago or any place infested with “libs."

Authoritarianism doesn't happen in a vacuum. It requires enablers. When a leader posts fantasies of monarchical rule, and his entire party looks the other way, they become complicit. The issue isn't just Trump's posts; it's the institutional decay of a party that refuses to be a check on his power.
After you’ve declared war on Chicago and Los Angeles, this is actually pretty light duty.
This country has become a complete clown show, albeit one featuring gigantic guns.
