@georgetakei Wow. Republican politicians are really stupid and dishonest, and they're really, really stubbornly proud of being both stupid and dishonest.

I'm not sure how we can fix this, without just deporting them all to Russia where there boss lives.

When I was a mere clerk for the 1st circuit appeals court, I wasn't allowed to have a political bumper sticker for fear of creating even the appearance of bias on the court.

How can Justice Alito be allowed to rule on Jan 6-related matters after flying a pro-insurrection flag?

@rbreich As a Democrat, your bumper sticker would have been a clear violation of moral and ethical standards.

As a Republican, it would be somehow un-American for Alito to not attempt to undermine the Constitution, overturn an election, and destroy the rule of law.

Or something like that. 🤷‍♂️

Judge Cannon has postponed Trump's classified documents trial and didn't set a new start date.

The Supreme Court is slow walking Trump's classified documents case, which has delayed his Jan 6 trial.

The federal judiciary is effectively acting like a MAGA campaign arm.

@rbreich The Federalist Society judges in the federal judiciary work as a MAGA campaign arm.

@arstechnica "Texas attorney general ..."

You spelled "Texas criminal and corrupt politician" wrong.

@arstechnica If only there were a game that simulated this, then they might have prepared better.
