My assessment of the charges against Jim Comey, what the government will have to prove, what happens next and what we can expect the judge to do, & why this is ultimately about Donald Trump, as much as if not more so, than it is about Comey. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

"Ultimately, it doesn’t really matter what the indictment says, because Halligan was going to indict Comey no matter what. That’s literally why she’s in the job — to bring the sort of sham charges that the previous US attorney, Eric Siebert, would not."

Talk Of Fascism Dangerous, Warns Ministry Of Compliance

Yes!!!

NEVER FORGET! January 6, 2021 Trvmp LOYALIST ATTACKED OFFICERS & BEAT THEM WITH BATS, CRUTCHES, METAL FLAGPOLES & WRENCHES. CRUSHED THEM IN DOORWAYS & GOUGED THEIR EYES. ATTACKED THEM WITH BEAR SPRAY. SOME LOST THEIR SIGHT, LOST FINGERS, SUFFERED HEAD INJURIES AND DIED! NOW IS THE TIME TO FIGHT!

Had to watch it twice! 😁😁

Oh snap. 70.6%? Adelita's opponent was deMOLISHED

Navarro: And I think some of the liberals, some of the left wing Democratic podcasts are doing much better now. MeidasTouch is actually outdoing some of the right wing ones that used to be number one

It’s so depressing watching the dumbest people in America drive this country into a ditch …. Again

Andrew McCarthy to Maria Bartiromo on Comey indictment: "I don't think there's a case ... it seems to be premised on something that's not true, which is that McCabe said that Comey authorized him to leak to the Wall Street Journal ... I don't see how they can make that case."

“.. We have a term: ‘groceries.' It's an old term but it means basically what you're buying, food. It’s a pretty accurate term, but it's an old fashioned sound — but groceries are down."

I think people are wrong to downplay the threat of DOJ being ordered to go after left-wing orgs

From Evil to Eviller...

It's perfectly clear that Luigi can't get a fair trial at this point. The judge needs to call a mistrial and release him immediately

Abolish ICE

Just another day trying to get what I want by following the rules and being polite while inside I am enraged.

Even in his most fevered, drunken dreams, Richard Milhous Nixon couldn't possibly have even imagined doing a tenth of this shit.

BOLDUAN: When I was asking you about Comey, you've twice now brought up the Epstein files and Tom Homan. Why? RASKIN: Because the DOJ is in full coverup mode

Indeed it was and is a “sham”.

An ICE agent violently threw an asylum seeker to the ground in front of her kids at a NYC immigration court. ​"Over [in Ecuador], they beat us there too," she said. "I didn’t think I’d come here to the United States and the same thing would happen to me." www.commondreams.org/news/ice-thr...

“Over 1500 measles cases” I long for the days when that number was 15 cases.

This is going to hurt so many disabled folk and with everything else the trump administration are throwing at them I’m really worried it will be the final straw for some.

JUST NOW AT THE UN…

“Not that smart” says it all!

Trump blames Democrats for “violence” while unleashing untrained thugs who drop their guns, aim at bystanders for filming, and terrorize immigrants just trying to work. These Gestapo tactics must end. This was in Maryland.

I honestly don’t care about James Comey. But I want to live in a democratic republic. His indictment proves we live in a banana republic, where the autocrat personally orders indictments of his political enemies, and when his own officials refuse he finds new ones that will.

Blue states need to stop paying federal taxes and take care of their own.

When the President uses federal law enforcement for his personal revenge, it puts all of us in danger.

got some bad news for anyone who voted for Trump because he promised to bring down prices www.ft.com/content/dd6d...

Impeach RFK Jr.? This House Democrat plans to try.

Because this administration thinks everyone believes the rules only matter when it helps “your side” (like they do), they are counting on Comey’s unpopularity to normalize this. Don’t let it. Whatever you think of him or his actions in the past, etc. this indictment is dangerous and an outrage.

Even low information voters should get that it’s not normal for a President to make billions of dollars as soon as they’re in power.

If you voted for him, you've done this.
