I really liked the part of the trial where they tried to use the castle doctrine to defend the invading murderer instead of the guy eating ice cream in his own place. That part was super loving cool. I get it as a part of the adversarial nature of our court system but holy gently caress that was some brazen bullshittery.

And for every rear end in a top hat bleating about how this will make cops afraid to "do their jobs" now; loving good. They should be afraid of murdering citizens.

Deep state fake news. The leader of Best Korea wrote a very beautiful, novelty over sized letter to Dear Leader. He obviously wants to give up his nukes, it's just the obstructionist democrats getting in the way.

Now people are saying that Biden bragged about getting Ukraine to get some prosecutor fired to stop the investigation? What?

It doesn't make sense because it doesn't need to. Facts and reality are for the pre-escalator world. A good demonstration model here is Russian oligarchic rule with laughably pointless trappings of democracy nobody really believes in. Russian politics don't operate on making sense or seeking consensus of the governed. The surface level operates on bullshit, obfuscation and misinformation while underneath it's intimidation, assassination and control of power.

That is exactly the goal of the GOP now. Kick up a smoke screen with lies, distraction and bullshit until the average person tunes it all out as "just politics" or "too divisive" or whatever excuse satisfies them and then use the power of the state to attack political opposition. They've got the first part down to a science with the right wing media machine fog-horning their bullshit 24/7. The leadership is certainly trying for the second part. So far it seems the country is institutionally resisting the second part but that only lasts through so many purges right up until it doesn't.

Only part that interests me is how fast they can get this before judges to overcome the multiple insane bullshit justifications the White House legal team comes up with for Trump's stance of "gently caress you make me."

I would like to think that would be a very expedited situation but I'm not optimistic.

Probably not, I'm more worried about them vomiting bullshit justifications, stone-walling for months and months every time they come up with another excuse and turning it into another Mueller report arcane legal bickering match that nobody remembers anymore then dragging it out past the elections.

Just so everyone can hate our capitalist hellscape dystopia that little bit more:

Jails don't like the pesky and expensive part of locking people up where you take care of those people. Bad for the bottom line, ya know? Medical care in this country is really expensive after all. The answer? "Medical Bond" among other euphemisms. Release them long enough to get the care they need, because when they're "free" it's someone else's cost, then when they're done they get re-arrested and brought back to keep that bed full and the numbers up.

loving gold mine in there.

quote:

In an effort to channel some of Trump's frustrations, campaign aides have scheduled a spate of campaign rallies over the next week, including one in Minnesota on Thursday and in Louisiana on Friday.

Baby needs his binky or he'll make a sad.

quote:

In private, Trump has vacillated between telling confidantes the impeachment effort will benefit him politically to complaining it will stain his legacy. As Trump reflexively reacts to each development, many Republican lawmakers and others who the White House relies upon to defend the President have gone silent.

Oh word you lashed yourself to the SS Narcissist and now there's no lifeboats on the ship? Get hosed, all of you.

I don't even give Trump credit for that. That's entirely Turtle McFuckerstein's doing. He even says the Senate is a legislative graveyard, loudly and publicly. They give no fucks about doing anything right now, they're busy setting the country and it's legislation up to be controlled for the next thirty or forty years by the Republican party's un-elected and unstoppable judicial branch veto.
