Bondi's an actual idiot. Once she's forced to go beyond her Trump-humping talking points, she short circuits and whines about it. She's been ordered to give a performance for Trump, and she'll do it like the trained seal she is.
wow -- Bondi throws a fit in response to Nadler's question about how many of Epstein's co-conspirators, if any, she's investigating, aggressively pointing at him and yelling. The hearing then devolves into chaos and Raskin and Bondi start yelling at each other.

You mean like, oh, I don't know, Due Process?!! You're asking them to follow the Constitution? That's not a "standard" - that's the law. And while we're at it - the word "asking" is pathetic. You're ASKING something of a group of masked thugs and a completely complicit GOP? Good luck, Chuck!

I just blocked an election doomer instead of reskeeting him or screenshotting him.

There will be midterm elections. The GOP will get crushed in the midterms. Trump absolutely would love to wreck the elections, but they're not structurally wreeckable by the president.

Today is the 5th anniversary of the release of the infamous #Lawyercat video, which I posted roughly thirty minutes after the start of the second impeachment trial. Who would have thought it would have such a lasting impact on the world! Happy Lawyercat Day for all who celebrate!

Spain is also going after Musk and the oligarchs for their algorithmic manipulation of media platforms.

They see America as a cautionary tale.

Of what happens when billionaires are placed above the law and allowed to bend governments to their whims.
