Garcia: It’s really shocking for him to essentially lean into this possibility of a pardon. And we know why that’s the case, right? He wants to control what she says. He wants her—someone who has a ton of information on what actually happened—to perhaps… omit memories she might have of the president

one of my takeaways from this great piece is that weiss just doesn’t…sound like an intelligent person? or at least, not someone who has thought even a little bit about how and why they think the things that they do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...

It’s genuinely alarming that the official DHS account is talking like this. This isn’t a parody account, it’s a federal agency using the tone of an online teenage bully to respond to fair public criticism.

I think the only thing Chief Justice John Roberts and I both enjoy is a gay dinner party on Martha's Vineyard. Glory!

Once upon a time, Batya didn't seem so batty. Now she's totally bat-shit crazy. Was this always her true nature and is coming out? Or is she following the $?

Peter, the red caps read "Make America Great Again"...

But when you really think about it, almost seems like the caps intend to say "Make America White Again."

Do you think I'm off my rocker? Or is there a chance the NYT may bring itself to say "bigotry," "racist," or "bigotry" in a newstory?

Thank you for explaining, in clear fashion, why quality clothing seemingly costs so much. Very informative.

With regard to $30 shirts, I vaguely recall being able to buy a quality L.L.Bean oxford for about that amount--back in 1983.
