Biden administration should have investigated Elon, considering his own brother admitted they lied on their immigration forms. But alas, Garland.

One of your best articles. I think most of the new crop of Democrats are doing what you are recommending. But I worry about the likes of Jefferies and Schumer.

By Vance's definition, no politician in America is a socialist, not even Bernie or AOC. Because none of them want to replace American workers with foreign workers.

What is the old saying? "Money is the root of all evil". MAGA are unserious and behave this way because it is profitable. The influencers were already frothing while the testimony was still going on. They got their clicks and rage bait. Hannity quietly deleted his tweet but he got what he wanted.

This re-evaluation led me back to Trump cases. While I can write an essay on what Garland could have done, I will just conclude that while we can blame a lot of factors, at the end of the day, he was responsible for delivering justice to the victims of J6 riots. 4/x

..I concluded that Garland cared about preserving the institutional reputation of DOJ more than delivering justice. They are not always the same. He allowed the reputation of two innocent people to be sullied so he can feel good about not interfering in the work of two partisan prosecutors. 3/x

.. on Hunter. So they charged him for lying on a gun permit. Really? Garland should never have allowed that. As for Joe B, the Sp Counsel there took the unprecedented step of psychoanalyzing a subject. Not his job. Yet Garland allowed that in the report. That led me to evaluate my thinking. ..2/x

I was a staunch defender of Garland but I have now made a 180 turn. What changed my mind were not the Trump cases but Biden cases. He allowed the Special Counsel in Hunter B case to run a mock. What started as a laptop/corruption investigation turned into a fishing expedition to find anything.. 1/x

At the in-your-face celebration of "culture" by a section of the Indian community. Trump's bigotry driven immigration and DEI policies have run out of steam. Even Republicans in red districts are running against it. Rufo, like all other fascists before him, will learn the lesson of over reach.

The difference is that Haitians are a poor vulnerable community on temporary status, easy to abuse. Indian American community is wealthy and diffused. Rufo will probably focus on low hanging fruits such as H4 visa. Or he may just be trying to capitalize on unease in certain areas of the country..1/2

He is making a Sinema level miscalculation. In 2028, he isn't going to win the primary of either party. It is rare for the primary voters of the switched party to reward recent arrivals. Just ask Arlen Specter. Sinema at least had a lucrative lobbying career lined up. What does Fetterman have?

So Iran's nuclear program has been obliterated (twice), its navy is at the bottom of the sea, its economy is destroyed, the US has complete control over the strait, then why are we still there? And how are the Iranians able to attack our resources? But logic and Donnie never went together.

This is the fifth poll in a row showing AES ahead. Do I detect a trend??? As I have said in other threads, Rogers' association with Trump is more damaging than AES's association with Piker. Vance, the most unlikable politician in the US didn't help by getting into an argument with AES yesterday.

The problem will be the Senate. I can think of 4-5 Democrats who will be opposed to it for a variety of reasons. The two from Nevada, King, and Fetterman. May be Schumer and Coons.

distancing himself from Piker. Rogers doesn't have that option. All AES has to do is to keep asking Rogers if he agrees with Trump's decision to rename Lake Ontario. Let us watch and see. I am more optimistic....end

The MRA poll also shows Trump's approval in MI at 30%. I suspect Rogers' association with Trump is hurting him a lot more than AES's association with Piker. And Trump's idiotic fight with Canada and childish renaming of a lake isn't going to be helpful. The best part is that AES has started ..2/x

Relax people. Instead of this abstract discussion, let us look at some actual data. In the past two weeks, five polls have been released in MI. These are the results: SMP: AES +7, LAW: AES +3, AARP: AES +1, Susquehanna: AES +7, and MRA out today: AES+4. All five polls show AES ahead. ..1/x

Until Stevens says the Jewish and black voters aren't excited about AES, and that she will only campaign down ballot, your comparison is not valid. All JC had to do was to not say anything negative about Talarico even if she doesn't want to campaign for him. She didn't even pass that low bar.

This includes the propagasists, the tech billionaires, and the Supreme Court. Everyone in the first two categories should be made unemployable. The corrupt justices on the SC should be investigated, just as any other federal employee. Also, expand the court to make the RW justices irrelevant. ..end

Those who committed crimes should be prosecuted. But by whom? If we get another Garland like AG, we are doomed. We need partisans like Blanche, at least temporarily, until the DOJ is reformed. But we need to do a lot more. There is an entire RW ecosystem that fosters and sustains Trumpism. 1/x

AES needs to get the state's black and moderate voters on board and enthusiastic about voting for him. I bet not a single one of them watches Watters. So I am not sure which demo was AES going after? Seems like a holdover thinking from Sanders 2016 where he was boasting about going on Fox 1/2

It is puzzling as to why the SC majority is siding with the administration in this case. It is not some important doctrinal or statutory case. There is no danger of setting any precedent. It is simply a case of the executive deciding to indulge in a personal whim and destroy a federal property ..1/x

I want to know who sought the meeting. If it was Kushner, it is possible that he is trying to influence the inevitable investigation into his shady businesses when/if the Democrats take over the House. If it was Jefferies, shame on him. He needs to explain why.

I think most of the comments on this topic, while sincere, miss the point. A person who is gay, Jewish, or a woman could win. But 2028 is too important to take that chance. A President Vance will continue along the fascism path with the same malevolence but more competence. This march must .. 1/2

Except that we all followed the trial. Cohen's testimony was important but not pivotal. There were other witnesses, Daniels and David Pecker among them. There was also a long paper trail. Jurors looked at the totality of the evidence and convicted Trump. What Cohen says now is irrelevant.
