I was at the coffee shop and the barista casually said “happy Friday.” And I realized I had to be at work shortly but I haven’t written anything. So here you are and thanks to her.

Stole the joke. Can’t find the original bluesky user.

Rumor has it Kristi Noem may be on the chopping block, and nobody jeopardizes Trump’s polls worse, or deserves it more.
People suffering from severe paranoia obviously shouldn’t have guns, but Republicans put guns in their hands anyway, endangering anyone who comes to their door, and even potentially the police officers who respond to the shooting of an innocent person.

Republicans, and their callous attitude toward innocent life, suck.

It’s the NeoCon Globalists that are worthless.
Conservatives argue against equal opportunity or outcomes, but insist on equal treatment of disadvantaged people, which of course guarantees unequal outcomes.
In this case, they think nonresident students in California public colleges have a legally enforceable right to pay the same tuition as resident noncitizens.

Wow.
It turns out that Vicious Troll really is a soulless, cowardly piece of shit.
Who knew?
It’s not enough to dismiss the charges against James Comey, assuming that will happen, which seems a pretty safe bet right now.
The court should also hold DOJ and Halligan in contempt, and order them to pay all of Comey’s legal expenses related to the case.
@7 I think we all knew.

He would have to sue for damages. He just might under these circumstances.
Discovery would be a blast.
8)Would this be under the Virginia Bar for disciplinary action, or have they been stripped of jurisdiction?
Elise…he’s handsome like bubba. He’s not into you.
Good luck running for Governor.
Q: Stefanik has called Mamdani a ‘jihadist.’ Do you think you’re standing next to a jihadist right now?
TRUMP: No, I don’t. I met with a man who’s a very rational person
11,
Halligan is licensed in Florida.
Based on the pleadings and motions filed and responses given by Comey’s counsel in these proceedings I’m of the opinion that Comey is seeking to produce a record that will support litigation once his indictment has been dismissed, however that comes to pass. Certainly a finding of vindictive prosecution would be highly advantageous to such litigation. And would then both target Halligan and explore specifically her relationship with the Attorney General (presumably her boss) and the president, apparently the one calling the shots.
It’s possible that Halligan would be forthcoming about how this train wreck of a prosecution ever reached this deplorable stage and burdened the court, the DOJ, and the defendant with such disgraceful conduct. But if she chooses not to, as I assume she will, then Mr. Comey would be not only justified in bringing a formal complaint to the Florida bar, he would be wise to do so.
If she stands behind this travesty to protect the fat authoritarian-in-chief she deserves that fate and whatever comes with it. Besides, her future will certainly not require a law license. She’ll either be running for office in Florida or going on tee vee to be a performer of some kind. But unsuspecting clients should be protected from her, nonetheless.

It’s been more than 20 years since the last time a Republican won a statewide race in New York. And he was a pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ rights, pro-environment moderate Republican who supported the Affordable Care Act, and expanding low income access to health insurance. Stefanik would need a time machine to win a statewide election in New York. The Actual Pedophile Fucktard claims to have one. Maybe they can work something out.
14,
Sure, pedophile.

Oh my.. what’s next? flying on a government private jet to catch honeypot’s public event and granting her her own security detail?
Sure, pedo.

The DNC has $18M COH. To get there it had to borrow $15M.
Oh. The GOP has $91M COH.
$90 million of which is earmarked for just three events at Mar a Lago and for attorneys to defend the criminal charges of child rape.
Alito gave plaintiffs and intervenors until 5pm Monday to respond to Texas’ application for emergency stay of the Western District of Texas panel order tossing their racial gerrymander.
A lot of small doners have closed their wallets until Schumer , the appeasement democrats and the “corporate” political consultants are gone. The norms are tired of the establishment democrats not fighting the fascists.

Speaking of Marjorie Taylor Greene, she just announced she’s resigning from Congress effective January 1 because the love between her and Trump has gone. In light of her recent feuding with Trump, she should consider moving to a country that doesn’t have an extradition treaty with the U.S. Either way, good riddance.
A D.C. federal judge didn’t exactly laugh at the government lawyers who asked for summary judgment against plaintiffs objecting to the IRS sharing taxpayer information with ICE, but the plaintiffs got their stay against the new IRS “data sharing policy” that started with releasing your tax returns to DOGE. In this case, ICE asked for — and isn’t getting — the addresses of millions of immigrants.

@ 21
Alito gave plaintiffs and intervenors until 5pm Monday to respond …
Alito also blocked the ruling that stopped the newly redistricted map from being used next year. You left out that part.
@ 26
Speaking of Marjorie Taylor Greene, she just announced she’s resigning from Congress effective January 1 …
January 5.
Is there anything you get right?

Well not cheerleading the fascist party is getting something right. Not being loud wrong about ICE shooting people for having the vehicular right of way is another.

@31 She’s a rat climbing off a sinking ship because she knows what will happen to her party in the midterms.
@28 If Texas redistricting goes ahead, California redistricting will go ahead. Of course, Alito and his fellow legal gangsters could play favorites, and only allow red states to redistrict, but that would shred whatever little remaining legitimacy the court has, and greatly bolster the Democrats’ case for term limits and/or packing the court “to restore its balance.”
Incorrectly stated. Alito is the assigned justice for the 5th Circuit. It is his responsibility to read emergency applications and assign them to the interim docket, initially at his discretion.
Only the full court can render a merits decision.

An old joke.. The computer scientist Alan Kay attended a dinner party in the UK and everyone at the table was chatting about education.
Kay was curious what the other diners thought about high school education in the United States.
One diner piped up, “The United States has the best high school education in the world. Too bad you have to go to College to get it.”
My two sons have bachelor degrees and no undergraduate debt. The youngest will have a debt to pay after finishing post-grad studies. His professional earnings most probably will cover it.

All a distraction from the evil that fascists do.
A navy veteran of Desert Storm calls himself an idiot for voting for orange pants shitter after his wife, a green card holder and mother of an active duty Marine was detained. Why? She wrote a couple bad checks when funds went dry, decades ago, and had made complete restitution and still got her green card.

Detainees spend months in the ICE/CBP gulags separated from their families by hundreds of miles. This is deliberate to wear families down and force detainees to submit to deportation.
“he was supposed to go after the worst of the worst.” Every time I hear this I facepalm. Everyone with a brain knew from 2016 that orange pants shitter considers everyone with brown or too dark skin or a funny last name to be an “illegal” and should be deported. 11.5 million undocumented is only the start to these racists assholes.
Btw, life still gets harder for ordinary American Citizens. “Easier” for billionaires who can afford to take a hit to their net worth when the music stops. More and more are claiming that has happened already.
