This was my election night 2016 reaction.

And any Republican who *still* supports him today is complicit in all of the deaths resulting from the DOGE cuts, the murders committed in the Caribbean, and who knows how many yet-to-be-discussed criminal acts. They should be treated as co-conspirators.

And, of course, every single Republican who has ever supported him *since 2016* bears some responsibility for backing him even after Access Hollywood, which, again, should have been enough on its own to permanently end his political relevance. Since January 6th, that responsibility is multiplied.

Trump has accidentally perfected the art of being so fundamentally corrupt and perverted that people become accustomed to it and tune it out. No person less qualified has ever held *any* federal office of major trust in American history, let alone that of the greatest possible trust!

So the media, and even many elected Democrats, don't talk about them. They may make noise about the latest scandal, but they then move on to the next thing. WE NEVER SHOULD HAVE MOVED PAST ACCESS HOLLYWOOD! We should be reciting the list of Trump's misdeeds like a litany every day in every outlet.

all of this is so grim that it is self-censoring. it sounds like a fever dream someone had while running five degrees hot

the things that are actually contained in government releases and leaks from epstein's email account alone are so deranged that anyone hearing them without context would think you were having a psychotic episode

What makes Trump so infuriating is that we've known he was like this *since 2016*, when the Access Hollywood tape was released! None of this is surprising! But because the media wants to appear "balanced" and not cover the GOP less favorably, the public has never really grasped how evil he is.

At some point, it just becomes too much! You can't talk about Trump *accurately* without sounding irrational--almost insane! Merely stating the basic, provable, publicly-acknowledged facts of the last ten years of his life makes you sound like you really do have Trump Derangement Syndrome!

Every one of those things is orders of magnitude worse than Watergate, which obliterated Nixon's presidency less than two years after he won one of the largest landslides in American history. And I haven't even *mentioned* the massive conflicts of interest and his still-running crypto scam!

By themselves, *each* of Access Hollywood, the Mueller Report, January 6th, the classified documents case, the E. Jean Carroll verdict, and the 34 felony convictions in New York should all have individually ended Trump's political relevance. ALL OF THOSE ARE CAREER-ENDING SCANDALS.

Literally shaking. Absolute monsters. DHS's Secretary Noem reassigned agents away from saving a child rape victim and arresting the depraved rapists and traffickers because she's obsessed with Trump's effort to stop immigrants from "poisoning the blood" of the nation.

Our saga of trying to unravel the administration's (probable) lies about exactly what happened with the James Comey grand jury - particularly during the 2+ hours the court reporter was not in the room! - continues. Featuring sleuthing by @lizdye.bsky.social www.lawandchaospod.com/p/lindsey-ha...

Magistrate Judge Fitzpatrick orders the government to turn over all grand jury materials to Comey's defense team. That's separate from Judge Currie's continuing investigation into the legality of Halligan's appointment & her behavior before the grand jury. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71459...

I’d actually be curious to know how involved bezos is day to day with the WP editorial board

I don’t live in the DMV but as one of our country’s largest and most important metro areas it sure seems like the DMV could use an amply funded newspaper of record

Why is the Washington Post writing multiple pieces about mayoral elections in other cities

washpost's ai-generated comment summaries continue to deliver

Billionaire owned media is just propaganda and fascist fear mongering this article ends with an attack on lgbtq folks and others as well because billionaires like bezos are fascist cowards.

JUDGE: You must give Comey the grand jury materials DOJ: NOT FAIR! The judge doesn’t have the authority because he didn’t say WHY Comey should get Grand Jury material. JUDGE: Fine. You must give Comey the Grand Jury material because you’re full of shit.

Judge Fitzpatrick joins the growing number of jurists "calling into question the presumption of regularity" of Trump's DOJ. Read the explosive ruling in full here. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A federal judge ORDERS the disclosure of James Comey's grand jury minutes to the defense, citing a "disturbing pattern pattern of profound investigative missteps" and casting doubt on Lindsey Halligan's declaration about the gap in the record. Background www.allrisenews.com/p/halligan-c...

It's almost like media narratives explaining voter turnout at scale are complete bullshit!

Something lost in the reporting on Latino men making double digit shifts away from Trump, to Democrats in New Jersey & Virginia: Media was full of stories in ‘24, anecdotes (not data), about how Latino men supposedly wouldn’t vote for a woman. But in both NJ & VA, they shifted to women for gov.

I’m sure Jamie Raskin is writing up a list of what will be included in the Articles of Impeachment as soon as Democrats retake the House. For each Cabinet member.

No American with an ounce of loyalty to the Constitution, and certainly no Judge, can rely on the good faith of Bondi, Blanche and anyone else in the DOJ. The default position must begin at: Bondi and Blanche, et al, may be lying and possibly committing prosecutorial misconduct, if not crimes.

i, for one, am shocked that the lawyer that thought it was a good idea to send Signal messages to a journalist about an active case would have no idea what the fuck she is doing

there may not be a rule against a dog playing basketball but it turns out there is a rule against lying to the grand jury about the basketball dog rules

you cannot do this

just because the clown car goes very fast does not mean it isn't full of clowns

you definitely cannot do this

i don't think it's a coicidence that a lot of the worst actors in this administration are under 40. more experienced/capable people would simply not be putting themselves in these kinds of damning and reputation destroying situations.

👀Fitzpatrick said Halligan made two apparent "fundamental misstatements of law" to the grand jury that could threaten the case. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

MORE: The magistrate said an FBI agent who may have viewed Comey's privileged materials was nevertheless permitted to present evidence to the grand jury — a "highly irregular" decision and "radical departure" for DOJ. He was the only witness at the GJ. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BREAKING: Magistrate orders DOJ to turn over grand jury materials to Comey, finding real prospect that "government misconduct" may have tainted the case.

The whole “taxes too much!” schtick is a bit rich coming from a state that doesn’t have income taxes!!!

Because of this, the City Attorney’s office has for 2 years refused to have trials in front of her, claiming bias. Seattle muni court allows both sides to say “not this judge, another one” in case of bias. The City Attorney’s office filed a standing notice against Judge Vaddadi.

This election fixes a weird problem Seattle has had for a while. Seattle has municipal courts. One of its muni judges, Pooja Vaddadi, is an ex-public defender. Unlike the judge she replaced in 2023, she doesn’t just take the word of police and requires the City Attorneys to prove their case.

As in: for 2 years, she hasn’t been able to hear cases. She’s still a judge, just not doing judge stuff. This election also replaced that City Attorney. So it removed the cause of big government waste. Yes, as you can probably guess, Judge Vaddadi is a friend of mine. That’s how I know her story.

You guys realize that taxing people to pay for services isn't socialism, right? This is just how governments work.

Everyone has lost their minds www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

These articles always depend on a bizarre Schroedinger's Seattle: The city is falling apart due to progressive overreach but we should have re-elected the conservative non-socialist who has been in charge for the last four years.
