You know we could have an awful lot of interesting discussion regarding those three claims. Are you up for it?Quote:

I wonder since so many of the Federal Prosecutors resigned rather than take up investigations into the mother of three and her partner if they will find some sell out legal hacks like has been done in the past, or if they will just drop it. Or maybe there are some prosecutors left?
It seems like things seem to drag out in the courts forever, but there appears to be several Tump rebukes in the works. Keely sue Hegseth, the Clintons refuse the Congressional subpoena (theiur letter was interesting), the Supreme Court ruling on tariffs, the Hegseth investigation into shooting the boat survivors, and the demands for the Epstein files release. The DOJ continues to find some smoke screen to delay the release of all relevant Epstein files, which make things appear even more suspicious. And I'm not so sure Venezuela/Greenland talk and others are a distraction to divert the public eyes from the case and other legalities and transgressions. I've read thea the suit of the Minneapolis Mayor against the Trum p administration is hopeless. It will probably take a few more GOPers to flip before things like the impeachment of Noem stick. The Jack Smith testimony was conveniently released around New Year's day celebrations. I wonder if it's the end of that or if more is coming.
Here in Colorado, they opened up bidding for 20,000 acres of BLM land for oil and gas leases and no one bid. I sort of doubt big oil wants to invest capitol in new operations here and maybe abroad in low quality or hard to get at oil when the next administration could get back on the EV/green energy bandwagon and when gas prices are so low. There have been reversals of Trumps block on wind energy. I've lost track of the lawsuit to keep the big NOAA weather monitoring facility open.
And Tina Peters is still in prison.
Rogan is a creature of the Right only in the minds of the Twitter universe.Quote:

Wired just had an article on this. Hope you can read it.

It's crazy. We have good friends up here in Vermont who have two twins they adopted from Nigeria when they were babies. They're in their early teens now. Their lawyer told my friends not to leave the country with their children because they may not be permitted back. This family is as white American bread as you can get, but their legally adopted children are Black.
On another "close to home" moment, I picked up BIL from the hospital, where he was recovering from a congestive heart failure exacerbation, and the nurse started telling him about a housing program he might be eligible for, but then she stopped herself--oh, well, maybe not these days. So I asked her, "are you seeing the impact of the new policies related to social services up here in Vermont?" And she said. "Yes. Just today. It was heartbreaking" (I guess she had a patient who will be much worse off now that they are suddenly ineligible for a benefit that would have helped them.)
Politically speaking (and personally speaking too), this year feels like it has lasted forever. And musing that we have 3 more years of this mayhem is really depressing. I'm hopeful the midterms will stem the tide a little.
I ‘m sorry to hear this. I feel your anguish! My GD is in Minneapolis … 4 blocks from the Renee Good murder.Quote:

Concerned, observant, involved citizenry = a good thing
Obstructive, belligerent, vigilante citizenry = not a good thing
