Nodack ≠ Innocent Until Proven Guilty
I should have said I have personally seen enough evidence to render my verdict of guilty of a hell of a lot of seriously bad things that would disqualify any other person on planet earth a long ass time ago but, Teflon Trump just seems to be able to commit as many crimes as he feels like and the more crimes he commits, the more his cult like him. All these prosecutions. It’s like Maga heaven. He’s reached Sainthood. Al Capone is a hero!

Trump would tell you he was a great man. Just like Hannibal Lecter.

There's some kind of "suspicious substance" threat outside the RNC headquarters. Hope nothing comes of it and everyone is okay.

Republicans


The campaign to gut Washington's power over corporate America
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/2 ... e-00158948
A decade-long conservative crusade against financial regulators will come to a head soon with a crucial Supreme Court ruling, part of a legal strategy that has spread across multiple Washington agencies into a broad attack on a core power of the federal government.

The court’s ruling on Securities and Exchange Commission v. Jarkesy, a case challenging the power of in-house federal judges, could hobble a whole range of agencies in unpredictable ways, cutting the powers of antitrust enforcers, labor regulators and consumer finance watchdogs.

Driven by an alliance of tech billionaires, conservative legal activists and the business lobby, the legal campaign that has arisen around Jarkesy is a little-appreciated but significant version of the “war on the administrative state” that Donald Trump promised but largely failed to deliver.
The decision is one of three Supreme Court fights this term over efforts to undermine key powers of the federal government.

Lindsay Graham seems confused by this game with Dana Bash. Might have been thrown off by female choices...just saying.

Why do you think they did that? Give me their steelman argument.

Because they don't like trans people? And because Kristi Noem was banned from all the tribal land after killing her dog, so she's mad at the Indian tribes? I don't know.

Speak up about respecting the law and the GOP will disown you.

If I could sum up the GOP strategy under Trump it would be: Destroy public trust in America's core institutions and erode the legitimacy of the rule of law in the U.S.

My summary would be, "Trump uber alles."
