Odds are the accelerated schedule is due to the likely target of the charges aggressively threatening the witness list. Only so many people involved in the prosecution, the judge & jury, and every known witness can have elevated security measures.
As the threats broaden, eventually it’s not economical to put security on everyone. Instead, maybe (hear me out) we should put the threat itself into some kind of secure facility so the public writ large is protected? I know it’s a crazy idea, but maybe the courts will actually do something about it at some point or another.
Barr is complicit in Trumps crimes. We should not be giving a voice to anything he has to say. He needs to be in jail, along with every single Trump appointee.
Having read Man’s Search For Meaning myself, I think one would have to have serious brainworms to take that message away from the book.
The message that I will away was that under the worst circumstances, you have to dig deep down within yourself to find a reason to keep going. It might be hard to understand that message if you’ve never really experienced any kind of difficulty in your life.
That said, I often apply the opposite of Hanlon’s razor when talking about GOP operatives: never attribute to stupidity that which can be ascribed to malice.
This is infuriating as fuck that Republicans are just allowed to abandon any presumption of governing and just subject citizens to these endless campaigns of outrage that always seem to end up putting some group of people in the crosshairs. I am really tired of politicians being allowed to waste tax dollars on this meaningless bullshit. You should not be allowed to go after any specific group of citizens for pursuing “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”.
I want these cruel crooks to be punished for their constant culture war battles.
Tbh, we have so many migrant workers and people in California, let alone LA, that a fourth bus is still barely a blip. It’s just kinda sad that they thought this would be a cool stunt, and to be clear, I mean sad in the same sense as a German making a joke. What’s next on their pathetic prank list, are Abbott and DeSantis going to come and re-arrange Newsom’s mail? Come and drink some of our tap water without us noticing? (spoiler alert: don’t, it tastes horrible) Oh, maybe they can send us some completely blank postcards.
I feel bad for them to be such sad people that they thought this would be a cool win. And I feel bad for the folks they did this to, but hey, consolation prize, you’re no longer in TX or FL.
They need to ask Joel Greenberg and Jason Brodeur what they know about it too. Pretty sure they both had a part in laundering the money he used for that through Seminole county elections.
My friends from HS and I are all still very close and hang out a few times a year. For the most part we are all doing quite well career and financial wise. The exception is my good friend who studied to be a music teacher. He is brilliant and hard working, but has had to hustle twice as hard as I have for half as much.
For 20 yrs he has been paying on his loans for undergrad and a masters degree. He has had to take jobs in every corner of the country to try and get established. I saw him a few weeks ago and he announced that thanks to Uncle Joe, he was now student debt free.
My wife and I might grumble a little when we start writing checks again in a few months but I feel a lot better knowing that more support is going out to those who truly need it.
