Yay!
A start.
Hereâs hoping.
âCouldâ? Please make it âwillâ
in that same vein:
of course itâs de santis theyâre promoting now. not sure itâs possible to say who is worse 
I think in a certain practical sense Trump. Because so long as he was the chosen one, DeSantis and all the others were willing to genuflect for the sake of their agenda. But he will never repay the favor and so now things are split.
Of course those editorials still only condemn Trump for not taking action, not for the fact that he was.
One can only hope that Desantis will run and get the GOP nomination with a lot of establishment support, and Trump will tear him down more viciously with each passing day, demanding that his loyal supporters write in Trump on the ballots that he was too lazy to get his name on. Then, Biden or whomever the Democrats trot out will sweep right into the White House. Then again, perhaps Iâm being too optimistic about the possibility of free and fair elections in the dystopian future of 2024.
yeah. thatâs the part that gets me. itâs not like theyâve learned anything. itâs just that trump got caught out.
maybe all we need is some video of de santis raving impotently and heâll be next to fall over.
still, if this is a result of the hearings iâll take it. one less fascist is one less fascist. eventually the bundle will break
whatâs that they say? âthe enemy of my enemy is still my enemy, but oh how the schadenfreude sweetens my hard and bitter heart.â
( well. they should. 
)
They refused to testify under oath.
Yeah, the language that says he âfailedâ means his coup was unsatisfactorily unsuccessful. Fucking fascists.
I think I know the answer to that question, unfortunately.
Using her various credentials when it suited her, and not saying a word about a possible âconflict of interestâ â probably because she hoped it would fall in her favor â but now that sheâs been sentenced sheâs not demure and contrite anymore:
Wait. She claims she remembers a person she turned down for a date thirty years ago? Why would she remember something so trivial? Was that the only time she was ever asked?
Wow, thatâs some read.
Along with @anon23281680âs excellent point, the time to bring up that interaction was prior to trial, not after sentencing.
Sheâs either a really bad lawyer who hired even worse lawyers, or she took a calculated risk that Cooper would give her a break on her sentencing and the play didnât pan out - in which case you live with the mistake.
But even more than those two possibilities, the whole thing stinks of bullshit. Considering what a massive bullshit generator Gold was prior to this whole episode, is by far the most likely option.
I do hope that if she has a law license and a medical license, that both are revoked for this.
Not a lawyer and not a doctor, either, then, eh, Simone?
revealed Wednesday in a defamation lawsuit filed by victims of the Sandy Hook massacre, Rolling Stone has learned.
On Wednesday, Sandy Hook victimsâ attorney Mark Bankston told Jones that his attorney had mistakenly sent Bankston three years worth of the conspiracy theoristâs emails and text messages copied from his phone.
The committee can now determine which agentsâ call records they may want to review and, if they decide to do so, could either request them directly or conceivably issue subpoenas to their cell phone providers, an official familiar with the situation explained.
At the same time, the inspector general responsible for the Secret Service has obtained a listing of personal cell phones as part of its own investigation connected to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
I mean, that part seems plausible. I remember unrequited romantic interests from my high school days. But only bringing those claims up after the trial and sentencing sure stinks to high heaven.
Attacking your judgeâs impartiality and competence is the sort of thing that almost always goes badly unless youâve got something really solid to back it up.
