I think 'fairly serious' is understating the issue. The current administration is accused of treason against the united states with not one but two hostile florigen governments with significant evidence of the same available for anyone to look at in the public domain.

Yep, kinda my point. And yet I knew what was going to happen when I posted...in other words, the false equivalency would take precedence over the truth of the matter, as golftdibrad points out.

He downgraded 52% of felony crimes to misdemeanors in 2022. He ran his campaign on changes to the law that allows cash bail for violent crimes. Days after taking office, he released a "Day One" memo to staff directing them to downgrade certain felonies, including armed robberies of commercial businesses, and to no longer seek jail time for many serious offenses. All of this occurring while crime in NY was up over 27%.

It ain't easy being cheesy.





I do, in all seriousness, have to question whether the folks present pushing in this direction truly appreciate the fact that they're proposing to turn Trump into a martyr. Putting him into prison virtually guarantees that he'll win the '24 general election.

FBI doing FBI things:




obviously they have a strong case, just like their case against Trump and illegally spying on his campaign team.

and this was the same case DOJ was listening in on conversations between the defendants and their lawyers, arguing that attorney client privilege doesn't matter if the client is in jail.

I'm curious as to why peasants are sending their money to a former leader whose personal net worth is somewhere in the range of $2 to $3 billion dollars.

And, yes, as the copywriter I probably would have phrased that as "...wrongly predicted..."

looks like he corrected his grammar:




his TDS still seething through his headline however.

Don't know why he's not calling out NBC for breaking the story first...


Even Howard gets it:
