“A former president falsely accusing his successor and rival of posing a threat to his life is without precedent in modern U.S. history.”

@wdlindsy When did our politics degrade so much? Is there any decency left in politics? Perhaps we need a big reset. Amend the 1st amendment - not sure how, but some smart folks should be able to figure it out.

@wdlindsy Doesn’t this deranged post actually show WHO is the mentally unfit guy?

A little reminder for all those who, strangely enough, always think it’s a good idea to interview him: Bill Barr was the Attorney General Donald Trump wanted because Jeff Sessions wasn’t servile enough.

@Strandjunker Bill Barr, the most dangerous Atty. General is trying to rewrite history and burnish his image. No honest media outlet should be giving him a platform.

Reminder that Live Nation/Ticketmaster is a monopoly, which is why it can get away with providing awful service, charging exorbitant prices, and tacking on fees as high as 75% of the ticket price.

It's a big deal that the DOJ is planning to file an antitrust lawsuit against it.

@rbreich perhaps you can help us understand, why the SEC approves these mergers to create monster monopolies in the first place?

What's most troubling about entertaining 's Presidential Records Act argument is that's she's SEEN all the records now, during the Sec. 4 hearing. She knows they are all highly classified intel products. And yet she's still entertaining this "personal" record BS.

@GottaLaff Anything to appease her “Master”. I cannot fathom how an inexperienced judge who has NEVER tried a criminal case is allowed to preside over this. If I had told my boss that I want to hire this fresh college grad as a Senior Architect who can figure how best to design an architecture for a complex set of applications that have multiple inputs/outputs/APIs, etc. , he would have looked at me as if I were crazy!
Aren’t there rules regarding the kind of cases rookie judges can handle?

@GottaLaff I understood that - but there still needs to be cases matched to judges based on complexity of the case and the experience of the judge

@GottaLaff Taking a leaf from the orange man’s playbook? Santos is running for re-election from a different NY district it seems.

@GottaLaff Taking a leaf from the Orange Guy’s playbook. Musk probably secretly admires him - the audacity and hubris.

@GottaLaff Very disappointed in Ezra Klein. Why would someone with such a following come up with this dumbass idea in an election year? My respect for him has certainly gone down a few points (unlike MAGA, we Dems don’t ‘cancel’ people)

Yet they’re voting for pro-forced birth candidates

Via Kyle Griffin:

According to NBC News Exit Poll results, 67% of New Hampshire Republican primary voters said they would oppose a federal law banning most or all #abortions nationwide. Just 27% said they would favor such a ban.

@GottaLaff New Hampshire should pretending that they have a large contingency of “Independents” and that they are open-minded, evaluate candidates, etc. They are just as moronic as all of the deep-red states - believing the MAGA crap. After 4 years, I still cannot wrap my head around how people can believe blatant lies. How did we end up like this?
