Trump allies keep bringing meritless lawsuits against the government, which Trump's DOJ then "settles" for enormous sums of taxpayer money now Trump is personally getting in on it, negotiating with himself for a "settlement" in the *billions* we're being robbed ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Let’s never forget that 4500 US troops and about 200,000 Iraqi civilians died because Dick Cheney and his crew successfully deployed lies to grease the way to the Iraq invasion. He exploited post-9/11 fear and conned the public to launch a disastrous war. That’s his legacy.

All these questions about Trump illegally trying to stay in power past the constitutionally mandated term limits are doing his bidding (consciously or not) by normalizing the issue. It’s against the law. Period. (Also, he ain’t beating Obama).

I see a lot of people wringing their hands over shameless clown + white nationalist Steve Bannon insisting that Trump will serve a third term. And I get it. Folks are so traumatized and rattled regarding the past 10 years that they're letting him get under their skin. Don't. Here's why. (thread)

"My read of economic and financial history is that market pricing almost never takes into account the possibility of huge, disruptive events, even when the strong possibility of such events should be obvious. The usual pattern, instead, is one of market complacency until the last possible moment."

Is there any way for a single media outlet to at least mention in the same breath that Trump was convicted of the actual crime of inflating the value of his property rather than this absurd brand of implied impropriety that Cook is accused of - or would that be considered “editorializing?”

“The chief justice is presiding over the end of the rule of law in America,” Luttig said the court is “acquiescing in and accommodating the president’s lawlessness. And it is doing so without briefing, without argument, without deliberation–without even a single word of explanation of its decisions”
