I have to confess that I didn't even bother googling it until this. I figured that milestone was too recent for a good/thoughtful film about it. But Julainne Moore? I looked it up. Fuck, I must see this. Thanks. It may help me better understand Trumpism. But first, I must tend to Modern General Relativity. |

Obama's choices were indeed ugly, and Garland probably wouldn't play along, but what McConnell did was downright fucking illegal. I think Obama had the law on his side if he simply installed Garland, seeing as McConnell outright refused a hearing. He should have done that, consequences be damned. We are all paying for McConnell's "victory" today. That McConnell keeps bragging about this as his greatest achievement speaks volumes about the man. It is my opinion that he is one of the worst human beings ever. He is immensely smarter than Trump, yet he honours Trump. Truly pathetic. America has lost. |

I didn't know that was indeed an option (a "nuclear" one, as tabloids like to call them). Towards the end of his second term, as it was clear Congress wasn't gonna give him jack shit, no matter how legitimate, rational, urgent, fair, ET CETERA, Obama did take executive action on a number of issues. Remember this? Quote:

FUCKET?
Anyway, if Ruth dies, we all know what McConnell and Trump will do, and the hypocrisy is astounding. |

Justice Dept dropping Flynn’s criminal case |
Quote:
Well, it looks like Today's DOJ has spoken!! https://thehill.com/homenews/adminis...-against-flynn I had this belief that a judge would decide. Flynn is still fucking guilty, no matter how DOJ and Trumpies twist this. So, onto the next step: Flynn joins team Trump again? (I hope he does!!) |
Quote:
I’m guessing you have sand in your eyes because anyone can clearly see and understand that the DOJ doesn’t drop charges against guilty people! But don’t you worry, the guilty will soon be going to jail because you can’t perpetuate fraud upon the court and get away with it. You can’t waste TWO YEARS and 32+ MILLION DOLLARS of the Tax Payers money on an investigation and not have to answer for it!! ......the big names are coming!!! |
The more I read about the "technicality" that Flynn will be freed on, the more I shake my head.
Did Flynn talk to the Russians illicitly? YES. Did he lie about these talks? YES. What's worse: Flynn getting off for this reasoning, or Barr's summary of Mueller's findings? We live in very strange times, and Barr should scare everyone. (The judge, a Clinton appointee, must still decide the Flynn case though, right?) |
"On February 14th 2017, Trump talked to FBI Director Comey about Michael Flynn, asking him to “let this go” because he’s a “good guy.” Comey wouldn’t do it, so Trump fires him. Today, Barr did what Comey was unwilling to do."
An interesting take. |
(Keeps posting to self....)
So, Barr is at odds with Mueller here (I just re-read the Flynn section in the report), as well as the IG. What are the chances that he is also at odds with the judge who ultimately decides this case? My $10 bet is still on. :) |

Oh but he was tricked into it by The Deep State, and as Barr said in an interview, sometimes we plead guilty when we don't understand that we were not guilty blah blah blah Make America Great Again. |
Quote:
I enjoyed that piece. One can see a pattern here in Barr's behaviour. If it was one or maybe two major things he had done to please Team Trump, an arguement could be made that he is an impartial AG. But look at the list!! And it's going to get worse. The Trumpists know this. "Some big names are going to pay" keeps coming up, and I believe it now. But Barr has zero credibility. I have a copy of the Mueller Report on my shelf, and I must be reading a completely different book than the one Barr read. |

Pleaded guilty TWICE, but yet he's innocent. Gotta love those mental gymnastics. |
Quote:
[Michael R. Bromwich]former DOJ IG; Asst US Attorney, SDNY; Assoc. Independent Counsel, Iran-Contra; independent monitor; law enforcement consultant How many of Trump's cronies have been sacked, sent down, or disgraced since he became president? And yet you believe that Flynn is as innocent as a newborn baby and has been treated horribly by the FBI? Trump drained the swamp about as well as a plumber using a toothpick on a clogged shitter. |

Lol. That's good. You quoted Skunk "you have your article and I have mine" above, and I admit that I clicked on that link and looked about his beautiful rt.com for 10 seconds. That is 10 seconds that I will never get back. These are the kinds of "news" and "sources" that Byteme and Skunk revel in, and I feel sorry for them. I really do. |
"RT is the first Russian 24/7 English-language news channel which brings the Russian view on global news."
You cannot make this shit up. Skunk really is a Russian bot, and he may not even know it. Thank FUCK I can't see him unless he is quoted. |
The channel is registered as a "foreign agent" with the United States Department of Justice under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). A 2017 report by the United States Intelligence Community characterized RT as "The Kremlin's principal international propaganda outlet" and said that RT America had been set up as an autonomous nonprofit organization to avoid FARA's registration requirement.[4][5] RT America's estimates of its audience reach in the USA have been considered to be exaggerated.[6]
