Revisiting literary classics...updated, of course

Nothing makes you look guiltier than forcing the Justice Department to promise never to investigate your taxes or prosecute you for anything they might find

Re PARAMOUNT+: It took me about 45 minutes to figure out how to cancel it. They don't make it easy. But with determination, it is doable. Use your opportunity to tell the AGENT (not the A.I. bot!) you will ultimately be connected to exactly WHY. I cited the Ellisons, Bari Weiss, CBS News... (contd)

These prosecutors who made my family’s life hell for a year are criminals. I want justice and we’ll seek it. This can’t happen again.

For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.

NEW: I've filed a claim with Todd Blanche for compensation from the $1.776B slush fund for the unlawful investigation by the government into my podcast in August 2019. I'm seeking $8.647 million in compensation for weaponized lawfare - the equivalent of punitive damages, lost pay and retirement.

From the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution...

You Go Jasmine Crockett 👏🏻......

Don't worry, the J6ers won't get any of this money. Trump doesn't give money to peons. Trump gives money to his family, and Friends.

And they don't have to disclose who they give the money to! What could go wrong?

A government of shallow, glib sociopaths striving to get an "Attaboy" from other shallow, glib sociopaths.

Testify at a Senate hearing today, Todd Blanche told Senator Chris Van Hollen he's met with Epstein survivors and their lawyers. Within hours, 18 Epstein survivors released a joint statement contradicting AAG Todd Blanche's testimony, directly accusing him of making false claims. I believe them.

This is an illegal contract, that cannot be enforced

“.. What we are talking about is nothing short of the sitting president of the United States looting from the Treasury for his own gain,” she said. @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/5733...

QUINTANILLA: According to the filings, the president has been trading some Intel in the quarter JIM CRAMER: Yeah, uh, yeah, hmm FABER: Got nothing to say? CRAMER: Uh, uh, yeah, whoa, yeah. FABER: Don't worry. We're not having technical difficulties, but we gotta go

Stephen Colbert has been one of the most thoughtful, funny, and genuinely decent people on television. I’ve always enjoyed his work — especially the Colbert Report. Here’s a clip from when I was a guest back in 2010.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

The political media in the U.S. continues to fail to meet the moment because they simply do not know how to deal with an administration that does bad things unapologetically. It's a scandal when a politician does something sneakily but if they confess to crimes in tweets "it's OK" is their failing.

Begging my fellow Texans to have some sensibility and not let Ken Paxton be our next senator

Fuck this. #fuck

Grift all the way down.

He Should Be Arrested Immediately For a Lot of Reasons….

Found this on bsky, reposting with alt text.

it's NOT $1.8b, it is specifically $1.776b "1776" functions as a rallying cry for right-wing white nationalists and anti-government groups to signal a desire for militant resistance, ethno-nationalism, and a return to an idealized era of white, male-dominated governance the little details matter

I commend Liz Oyer for her clarity. bsky.app/profile/lawy...

Putin doesn't have to bomb the US, he has agent orange doing it for him. 😷

“Please enjoy Colbert’s final shows,” John Oliver told viewers at the end of Sunday's 'Last Week Tonight.' “He’s the f*cking best. Good night, and good luck, motherf*ckers!” Full story: latenighter.com/news/john-ol...

America's top insider trader?

Every damn word of this…

The most accurate portrayal of the pro-Jim Crow, white nationalist Roberts Supreme Court I've seen yet.

The United States is going through a severe reality adjustment. For the first time in our nation's history, a political party in power has assumed an enemy position against United States citizens. Our government, has become the enemy of our people. Our citizens are caught off guard. - Catherine -

Central Casting is the only qualification important to Trump. Having competence is a negative. He doesn't want anybody showing him up.

But the Roberts Court claims racism is gone from the US:

Democracy does not erode overnight. It erodes when those elected to defend it choose silence instead. Congress has both the authority and the responsibility to push back against judicial overreach. As a member of this legislative body, I chose to stand up and do exactly that.

This always amazes me. In a very reprehensible way...how these men went from making these statements to complicit enablers. They could have and should have been better.
