The upcoming civil war in the GOP is going to be fascinating.
Trump's departure will leave a power vacuum like nothing we've seen in American politics.
There is also no clear successor, no platform, no vision, and no leadership due to the way Trump has run the party.
I mean, there is Project 2025, but Trump ran from that on the campaign trail, lying all the way, and it mostly seems pretty unpopular except for the fact that Trump's doing it.
I agree though that it is going to be really hard for them to replicate Trump and secure his base.

My understanding is all the sexual rape charges, Epstein island ties, real estate fraud, tax fraud, fraud fraud, tyranny, whatever, turnips biggest fear is all the Russian connections.
The thing that's infuriating about all that is that it is clear that Russia has done many things to promote Trump and American discord, with or without Trump's knowledge or consent (it was with but will probably never be proven).
The Carter Page thing was a huge fuckup, but well within FBI apolitical shittiness norms (like most LEO, their zeal to get their man often results in civil rights violations, at best). And the Steele Dossier is a massive red herring.
Unfortunately, those two things provide just enough taint to give Trump talking, or screaming, points.

Comey played fuck around and find out games. He really could’ve derailed all this chaos bullshit early, but chose instead to publicly announce their Clinton’s email investigation. Fuck him, albeit the enemy of my enemy and so forth.
Comey's a dick, no question about it.
But, there are two, mostly unrelated, things driving Trump's animus. One is a failure to indict Hildawg for "butter emails," which wasn't Comey's call in the first place and should never have been. But I think the real animus here is Russia, Russia, Russia. And Comey's criticism of him. And both of those ignore the huge favor Comey did by going public with the WIener shit.
This is a pretty good piece from Lawfare. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/comey--james--and--animus-through-a-megaphone
Although its primary topic is vindictive prosecution, it goes into some detail about the quality of the charges notwithstanding animus, particularly as relates to Letitia James.

This is all over Comey saying five years ago "I stand by my previous statement", correct?
When you consider the amount of lies that have been spewed the past 10 years, as well as the testimony before Congress of these shitheads in office, it's just fucking amazing.
Yep.
There's a good argument that that statement is literally true, unless it could somehow be proven that Comey didn't "stand by" his previous testimony. The government wants to treat that as repeating false testimony that was outside limitations within limitations.
But it's going to be hard for the government to prove his 2017 testimony was false.

The ACA subsidies isn’t going away. A friend of mine just had his costs go from $1700 a month to $2800 a month. While he and his family can afford it - that is a massive hit on anyone’s budget. That $1100 a month kills spending money. It’s insane.
I haven't looked yet, I'm afraid to. Yes, we can afford it, but that is a big hit.

Reading that story a little more carefully, I'm not sure it's wholly accurate.
The AUSA said the other day it was "his understanding" that the second indictment was not presented to the full grand jury.
In a written filing, they worded it a bit more "cagily."
Also, before we get too excited about this resulting in dismissal of all charges (there are several other things that could have that result), there's a case that some have trumpeted as being on point. Many years ago, the DC grand juries weren't presented with indictments, just the evidence and "returned" a piece of paper saying they true-billed or no-billed a charge of a crime, ie wire fraud or perjury or whatever. The US Attorney then prepared an actual indictment in the form we see that was never actually passed on by the grand jury.
The DC Circuit ruled that that did not satisfy Rule 6 and the requirement that the grand jury be presented with and pass upon an indictment. It requires an actual indictment, and the indictment that is filed to commence a criminal case. It also held that that was harmless error in that case, so no harm no foul.
That means that the government will probably continue to be embarrassed and debase itself on Comey's other motions.

Halligan and the Department of Jesters reverse course:
https://abcnews.go.com/US/doj-halligan-slam-judge-comey-case-hearing/story?id=127709589
The second indictment was now presented to the full grand jury.
Which creates a problem because there's no transcript of that.
Fucking clown show.
Also, Halligan & Co. lying in public about a "rogue judge."

I gotta admit, I don’t know how federal immunity would work in this case, but at this point - in Chicago at least - it’s apparent that ICE has engaged in a criminal conspiracy to commit serial assaults against citizens of Illinois. They do not have immunity for violating the constitution, but is there any way for Illinois to bring state charges against ICE conspirators in federal court? I admit to having no idea if there’s any angle here - probably not, but this is insanely unprecedented. I’ve never seen a federal entity just go full-on at war against civilians, in violation of all laws and norms.
Obviously, supremacy clause issues. But FFS, these are classic 18 USC 241 (conspiracy to violate civil rights) charges. A statute first written to deal with the fucking klan, and it works against the actual govt forces here. I know THIS DOJ won’t bring charges…but kick this motherfucker out and charge them ALL.Pretty good discussion/explainer here. https://statedemocracy.law.wisc.edu/featured/2025/explainer-can-states-prosecute-federal-officials/

The dissent on the redistricting case seems like it could be a fun read.
Yeah, Jesus. It's an insane rant.
Jerry Smith has been on the Fifth Circuit for a long time, way predating its current insanity and dating back to when it was one of the "best" most level-headed courts of appeal.
Therefore, I kind of assumed that he was sane. I can't recall any of his opinions or panels being particularly insane in the past, like Edith Jones or James Ho. Nor can I recall any of his opinions being good or fun like Reavely, Gee, or Goldberg, among many.
He's obviously lost his goddamn mind.
The good thing though, is that insane rant doesn't give SCOTUS any particular hooks to reverse on.

I don’t agree with this sentiment in this instance, but I think you’re correct about the nature of fan bases in general.
Sark was plenty popular heading into this season. The hype was through the roof and a lot of that was coming from him. Maybe he had some bad evals at receiver or got unlucky with other targets in the portal, maybe his db hire didn’t pan out, maybe Arch got the yips. Whatever.
For your OL to suck this bad at this stage of his tenure is completely unacceptable and raises major red flags that can’t be ignored. It cost us huge. The only explanation I can think of is he didn’t have his eye on the ball and didn’t understand his own team well enough to hit the portal. I think he was dealing with personal issues. I want the best for the guy but this was a massive fuck up and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with crying foul.
Can't much argue with that. The OL is the most glaring problem and seemingly the most inexplicable.
Although the Akina hire seems most unfortunate, it happened for a good reason in Gideon departing for a DC job and Joseph for the NFL.
And you have to think PK had some input in the hire. Can't solely tag Sark with that.

If you want an alarm, we've been quite content with our Simplisafe stuff. Cheap, works, decent interface. Not as cheap as Wyze and actually probably not as good as far as the pure camera tech. Not sure if they have alarm parts of their system.

This is kind of comical. Halligan had to have assistance from one or more of the grand jurors to operate the ELMO, a courtroom "video" device very similar to an overhead projector. It's primitive, fundamental court tech.
Shows ol silk stalkings Linds doesn't have much courtroom experience.

I mentioned it elsewhere, but I have been impressed with a couple of Wyze cameras we bought to surveil the back yard.
Apparently some former Amazon tech people.
Not connected to any nefarious shit, AFAIK, and cheap.
If we get anymore "smart" shit, it's highly likely to be Wyze.

Some good news.
Not sure about the Supreme Court case, but it is pretty clear that the factual predicates for ICE violence in Chicago are bullshit.
But this indicates that the charges will be dismissed against Marimar Martinez, who they shot, and Anthony Ruiz, who was also arrested.

I hate everything about this.
To me, it manifests most visibly in any number of posts, emails, etc. I get that do NOT contain words, but rather a link to some 30 minute video. First, I can read all the words from that video in 3 minutes, so stop wasting my time and yours. Fucking read, it's faster. Second, why are we even referring to some "personality" who is aggregating (poorly) actual fact-based reporting and information about a subject? Point me to the source material, not what Joe Rogan fucking says about it.
The dumbification of everything continues not just unabated, but accelerated. EXACTLY as Musk wants it to be. Because really, the only way for him to be "super smart" is to ensure that everyone else is super dumb. Problem is, he drinks his own kool-aid, and is dumbifying himself along with everyone else.
Yeah, I've said how much I prefer reading over watching almost anything, but especially news.
I have somewhat embarrassingly taken to reviewing regularly Ken White's Popehat bluesky, because I really jibe with Ken White. But, like all media of that ilk, it contains a fair amount of bullshit that requires source reading. But it's a good place to find links and things to find further reading on.

it seems like a bitch move for Sark go for a walk immediately after practice and tell people not to contact him for an hour or more until after his walk is done.
Eh, I disagree. It's an hour. If it's that important, take it away from the press and BMD.

And if she thought tattoos would pass as cuts/scars, you can add dumber than a box of rocks.
Point of clarification.
There is a body modification known as "scarification," where scar tissue essentially performs the function of ink in a tattoo. Some tattoo artist types specialize in it. So they are actual cuts, but done in a safeish manner to generate scar tissue (or maybe to avoid scar tissue in this case).
So, I'm guessing those are really cuts. Just administered under controlled conditions.

Yes it was read the information on page 229 and below.
One other aspect was seen as a positive for Texas. Instead of two-spotting, which is best described as running two practices at once, Texas elected to just one spot for most of the spring. Coaches and players honed in on technique in the opportunities, with younger players getting the chance to watch how older players did things. When some of the more veteran players were kept out, that gave reps to the younger players. But because of the difference in structure related to how often the program practiced with contact, players nursing ailments of any sort could still get reps in without major risk of reinjury.
In hindsight, that seems like a huge mistake.
But it may be evidence that Sark thought he had his machine finely tuned and ready to rock, with injury avoidance a priority. Obviously in error, and maybe/probably a contributing cause.

assuming they didn't fuck up THAT indictment as well.
They weren't operating under the gun there with respect to the statute of limitations.
I haven't seen the evidence in that one, just heard what educated commentators say. In Lisa Cook's and other James mortgage cases, the technically incorrect mortgage documents are strongly contradicted by the rest of the documents/record.
The one James was actually indicated on instead turns on what the language of the document permits and does not permit (rentals in the first year of the mortgage). It's my understanding that because of that vagary, DOJ rarely or ever brings fraud prosecutions, but it seems to present a jury question and not something that can be resolved on pretrial motions.
Also, something to keep in mind about fraud. Most fraud requires a present intention not to do what you represent you will do.
Changing your mind and not doing what you represented you would do may be a breach of contract, but if it was a change of mind and not the intention at the time of the representation, it ain't fraud. And proving it was a present intention and not a change of mind can be mas dificil, amigos. It's gotten a lot of dirty fuckers off.

Something bad happened to a young woman/dotard supporter who worked for a Congressperson from NJ
Something bad did happen. It's just not what she wanted you to think.
It's a lovely story. She used a tattoo artist for help with the scar lacerations, and her co-conspirator had to google "zip ties near me" to stage the scene.
Now Natalie Greene and her co-conspirator face up to 5 years in prison and 3 years supervised release.
Really surprised Habba Dabba do brought charges.
Also note that in the press release, she is referred to as "Special Attorney" Habba. That's an effort to try and shield the consequences of her unlawful appointment.
28 USC 515 authorizes the AG to hire "special attorneys." In Jack Smith's case, they argued that a Special Attorney can't exercise the same powers as a US Attorney and must be answerable to one, which Smith was and was not, respectively. Guess what Habba's doing? Halligan too.

I really don't give a flying fuck about Comey, but I hope he walks. I really enjoy watching these chucklefucks step on rakes. The more egg that ends up on their collective face, the better.
Yeah true. And he will. I'm more sympathetic to Letitia James, but I honestly think that case may have to go to a jury.
The only real question is how embarrassing is this going to get for the DOJ?
