Obviously Jill Biden should be prosecuted, not only for elder abuse and fraud but for allowing people to call her "doctor" when all she has is an Ed.D (narrator:  that counts).

You say this as a joke, but it wouldn't surprise me if Pam Bondi has a team of DOJ lawyers currently working up an indictment.

Oh, the elder abuse charge has already been floated by a DOJ lawyer.

I can't find any quote from her that would match but did a Google Lens search, and that screenshot appears to be from when she made an announcement about the State of Maine and Title IX stuff from a few weeks ago. It also seems you copy/pasted that image from Facebook.

Given all that, it appears to be fake news. If it's a satirical account, okay. If not, stop following it or block it from your feed. Or, if you subscribe to the view that we should lie, that's also your prerogative, I suppose.

At ABIA, just boarded our flight to Mexico. While we were waiting to board, the PA announcer comes on and in his most sarcastic Texas drawl says ...

"Attention passengers in the terminal, we need the owner of the Tesla Cybertruck who left their vehicle parked sideways across two departure dropoff lanes to return to the vehicle before it is towed".

That may be the most 'Cybertruck driver' thing ever. The only way the PA announcer could have made it sound more sarcastic is if he had included words like 'MAGA dumbass' or 'Mr. Musk'.

It's from a FB group, if I remember correctly the one called Trump Snark.  It's mostly satire, and typically it's very obvious satire.

Yes it is, actually.  As noted above, that number is not random:

When one of the president's primary, and most trusted advisors (that's what she is) says "there are 65 million illegal aliens," that is exactly what they mean.  If you are hispanic, they believe that you are not an actual American, you have no right to be here, and they intend to use the full weight and force of the US government to kick us out.  At the very least, they have wet dreams about "Korematsu II, Except This Time, for Beaners."

1) Declare that we are being invaded by the brown hispanic horde.

2) That is a hostile "invasion," thus invoke the Alien Enemies Act, while ALSO declaring that because we are being invaded, the writ of habeas corpus is suspended.

3) Arrest any and all browns, people whose names end in Z, all that shit.  They are alien enemies, AND they have no ability to contest their arrest (no more habeas).

4) Shove them into massive internment camps (run by for-profit enterprises that will kick back a sizable portion of what they receive to the Trump family) all over the country (but....most of them will be conveniently located near where cheap labor, ag labor, etc. is needed), because...

5) All those captive hispanics will then be farmed out to large corporate contributors to the regime as ultra-cheap labor.  Labor is priced at $10 per hour.  Prison operator gets $8 of that, inmate gets $2, and the "employer" saves a fortune because he's now paying way below the prevailing wage.

And that, folks, is how you make slavery functionally legal again.

Let that be a lesson to you. You should've taken a cue from the black community and kept it under the 15% threshold like we have. Now you fucked around and drew the Eye of Sauron and now all of Mordor is after you.

Don't feel bad. Every culture is particularly fond of that ole ladder function. We will make it through this thing together. 19% + 14% is a whole lotta people.

Is this NPD, @Anastasis? Surely nothing health related, right?

 

I remember when I bought the last sub $1/gallon tank of gas. It was in high school and i filled up my '96 ford explorer. .96 cents/gallon and after I finished the prices changed on the pump to $1.04. It was at HEB at four points. I made a comment to my buddy that we just witnessed the last time in our lives that gas would be below $1. 

Sorry for the aside.  Drump is clearly losing his mental capacity or just flat sniffing his own farts.

He also claimed the other day that egg prices are down 94%. But he gets to just say whatever, so that’s cool. Fox would have been demanding cognitive tests for Biden for just that alone.

It'll be like a Soviet military budget. 20 or so billion will go to contractor friends that will make a few prototypes and then have a few to sit in storage. The remaining 150 billion will be straight up missing.

This is exactly that.  The Golden Dome is grift like everything else.  The techbros saw us spending billions on overpriced and behind schedule hardware we badly need and dared to disrupt by asking: “why not billions for overpriced and behind schedule vaporware that we don’t need at all?”

Completely separate set of circumstances and more importantly motives but these dipshits are going to spin it up and the unwashed masses will swallow it.

If We Can’t Prosecute Trump’s Foes, We’ll ‘Shame’ Them, Justice Dept. Official Says

https://archive.is/SLN1j

Quote

President Trump has kept up a steady bombardment of suggestions, requests and demands to arrest, investigate or prosecute targets of his choosing — the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey, various Democrats, officials who refuted his election lies, Beyoncé, the Boss.

But Mr. Trump’s directives have so far hit a stubborn snag. Few, if any, of those singled out have done anything to invite conventional prosecutorial scrutiny, much less committed prosecutable crimes to warrant an indictment under federal law.

But a Trump loyalist, given new, vague and possibly vast power, has found a workaround.

In recent days, Ed Martin, the incoming leader of the Justice Department’s “weaponization” group, made a candid if unsurprising admission: He plans to use his authority to expose and discredit those he believes to be guilty, even if he cannot find sufficient evidence to prosecute them — weaponizing an institution he has been hired to de-weaponize, in the view of critics.

“If they can be charged, we’ll charge them,” Mr. Martin told reporters before stepping down as interim U.S. attorney in Washington. “But if they can’t be charged, we will name them. And we will name them, and in a culture that respects shame, they should be people that are ashamed.”

He added, “That’s the way things work.”

That is not the way things have worked. The cardinal rule of prosecutors is to speak only through evidence and court filings. The department is supposed to abide by the dictum of charging crimes, not people. Naming and shaming is antithetical to its mission of pursuing justice impartially. And Mr. Martin’s statement appears to violate the department’s ethical and procedural rule book, which mandates “fair, evenhanded” investigations to safeguard “the privacy and reputation interests of uncharged” investigative targets.

“Outside of cases where you have someone whose conduct is open and notorious, the idea of targeting individuals is antithetical to the notion of the government investigating crimes, not people,” said Daniel C. Richman, a law professor at Columbia and a former federal prosecutor.

“And the person who will be picking out those people has no record of the prudential exercise of judgment in federal prosecutions, but in fact has a record of abusive invocations of government power,” he added.

Since taking office, Mr. Trump has blurred, and at times obliterated, the line between personal score-settling and running a country — threatening law firms that harbor his opponents and using executive orders to punish or intimidate individuals and institutions, often using the threat of Justice Department action as leverage to extract concessions.

Mr. Martin, a cheerful but obdurate activist from Missouri, has often out-Trumped the Trump team. In his brief stint as U.S. attorney, he thrust himself into national politics by leveling threats against Democrats and academic institutions. His subordinates quietly urged him to pump the brakes — and had to stop him from indicting the Democratic leader, Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, for making a vague threat at Supreme Court justices five years ago.

Some of Mr. Martin’s inquiries proceeded. One of them was an investigation into another New York antagonist of Mr. Trump’s, Andrew Cuomo, over congressional testimony about his response as governor to the coronavirus pandemic.

Nonetheless, it has all been a bit too much for many in his own party. Earlier this month, Republican senators blocked Mr. Martin’s nomination to permanently run the U.S. attorney’s office. In recompense, he was given control over the department’s pardon office and the weaponization group with authority to pursue Mr. Trump’s onetime investigators, including Jack Smith, the special counsel who indicted him twice.

Mr. Martin has virtually no investigative experience. Instead he has signaled he intends to subject the president’s accusers to humiliations and inconveniences comparable to what Mr. Trump endured, to right perceived wrongs.

“They tried to bankrupt him, they tried to put him in prison for life for non-crimes, they tried to get him off the ballot,” said Mike Davis, a Republican and former Senate Judiciary Committee aide with close ties to the Trump White House. “They must be held accountable for this criminal conspiracy.”

Mr. Trump and his team said they are rebuilding, not destroying, the department.

“Unfortunately in recent years, a corrupt group of hacks and radicals within the ranks of the American government obliterated the trust and good will built up over generations,” Mr. Trump told an audience of supporters at the department in March.

Yet there is a hollowness in the president’s effort to spin a vengeance trip as a path back to normalcy. It is undercut by calls to prosecute opponents that began with “Lock Her Up” chants about Hillary Clinton in 2016 and now encompass a breathtaking range of targets.

On April 9, Mr. Trump ordered the investigation of Miles Taylor, a former official who had criticized him anonymously. On the same day, he directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to open an inquiry into Chris Krebs, a former cybersecurity official who refuted Mr. Trump’s false claim that the 2020 election was stolen from him.

Mr. Trump then ordered an investigation of ActBlue, a Democratic fund-raising platform. That was followed this month by higher-profile, if less formal, accusations on social media against liberal entertainers — including Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen and Oprah Winfrey — for accepting fees to perform at Kamala Harris’s campaign events.

His appointees have followed suit. Richard Grenell, installed as the president of the Kennedy Center, recently called for a criminal investigation into the organization’s finances.

The Justice Department has declined to comment on the referrals.

But the threat of action is real, and the department has not been shy about opening investigations or arresting politicians and judges, including the Democratic mayor of Newark over a trespassing charge and a Wisconsin judge accused of shielding an immigrant from federal agents.

The administration has also dropped cases against Trump allies, most notably Mayor Eric Adams of New York, and pardoned Capitol rioters whose convictions were buttressed by evidence. At the same time, it has at the same time decimated units responsible for prosecuting white-collar and public corruption cases. That, combined with an energetic focus on vendettas, might create a vacuum of enforcement of real and provable crimes, according to former officials.

It is a sharp turnabout from his first term, when Mr. Trump accused the Justice Department of violating the protective norms by disclosing details of investigations into his conduct to harm him. It was his main justification for firing Mr. Comey in 2017, after the F.B.I. director publicly acknowledged that he was investigating the Trump campaign’s interactions with Russia.

Last week, Mr. Comey returned to center stage after posting an image of seashells arrayed on a beach to read “86 47.” Mr. Trump prodded Ms. Bondi to investigate the quickly deleted post as an assassination threat.

“That is going to be up to Pam,” the president told Fox News, adding, “If he had a clean history I could understand if there was a leniency, but I’m going to let them make that decision.”

It remains to be seen if Mr. Martin will be given full control over the weaponization initiative. Some administration aides think he talks too much and would better serve Mr. Trump by backing off, according to officials with knowledge of their dynamic.

But Mr. Martin, already the subject of investigation into his conduct as U.S. attorney, appears set on his course.

During a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, he mentioned that a whistle-blower informed him that Samantha Power, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, had given money to political parties to sway elections in another country. He offered no evidence.

“The question is, are we going to get all of it, name it and then hold some people accountable?” Mr. Martin said. “People say, ‘Are you going to walk people out in cuffs?’ Right now, I’d be happy to just have people know their names.”

At another point, Mr. Martin said he viewed himself as being engaged in a “war over information.” He cited a letter he had written to Wikipedia accusing it of bias and improperly shielding itself from scrutiny through its tax-exempt status.

He never suggested that Wikipedia had broken the law. He indicated that his letter was to air his view of their actions in the public arena.

“A prosecutor saying that about Wikipedia is vastly different than Tucker Carlson saying it,” Mr. Martin said. “And that’s the point of the job.”

The role of a prosecutor, he claimed, “is not just to find the right guy to prosecute” but to publicize their purported wrongdoing in public.

In a landmark 1940 speech, a top Justice Department official offered another vision.

Robert H. Jackson, then the attorney general, told department employees that the “greatest danger of abuse of prosecuting power” was when an official “finds some person whom he dislikes or desires to embarrass, or selects some group of unpopular persons and then looks for an offense.”
