Let's get this obvious outcome out there:

If the shooter today had ANY involvement with, statements about, etc., that could POSSIBLY be used to paint him as a "leftist," those will be disseminated to the usual sources and amplified like a motherfucker.

If the shooter was out to kill illegal invaders, and left a detailed note saying "I was trying to save America by killing dirty invaders," we won't ever hear about it.  It will be buried deeper than Trump's dick in a 13 year old girl at an Epstein party.

So... not very deep?

Of course.  MAGA could stay in control of the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives for the next twenty years, during which time those folks could be squeezed further into a lower economic class that struggles to afford basic things like groceries, housing, and healthcare, and they'd still be blaming Obama and the Dems.

Probably a couple of steps above.  Habba has a few more years of experience, but working for herself.  Halligan was at least in a firm where she'd get fired if she fucked up too bad.

Speaking of which, in the recently decided appeal of the Carroll case, there were about a half dozen instances of alleged errors on appeal (the main things you appeal) that were waived or not preserved by the parking lot lawyer at trial.

Did I read that Halligan has never prosecuted a case in her career?

"Halligan is generally considered the best litigator in her office.  She successfully plea-bargained 44 cases in nine months."

Yes.  To a certain extent law is just law, but experience in an area and more than passing familiarity with the statutes and interpretations helps a lot.

Of course, her main function is to order line prosecutors to file a case, and they do know what they're doing.  It might not surprise me that, if a grand jury goes along with it and an indictment happens, those prosecutors sandbag the thing.

As Wittes said, Comey is going to have top flight law dogs that are going to push this hard.  Halligan and her office are gonna get pantsed.

Fair enough. But is she a lousy fucking softball player?

I mean 1) There is no case and 2) They have an order from the President demanding Comey be prosecuted for something. If this goes through we should truly shut everything down and start over.

Is there a switch or a plug or something to shut everything down and start over? Maybe a towel to be thrown?

Trump 'goes missing' on day that supports conspiracy theory on his bruised hand

A theory is running rampant online, speculating that the president is undergoing some form of monthly treatment that is causing the large bruise on his hand

https://www.irishstar.com/news/us-news/trump-goes-missing-day-supports-35961125

Probably transfusions from his "blood boy."

A conspiracy theory has been gaining traction online after people began to notice a pattern with the president’s mysterious hand bruise.

The president has been periodically sporting a large bruise on his hand over the past several months. His team has repeatedly dodged questions about the cause of the bruise. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt even blamed the mark on the president shaking too many hands.

Naturally, the lack of explanation left room for the internet to speculate. Some users began to notice that the bruise, which comes and goes, tends to show up around the same date every month.

The theory began on X, where one user, @ChrisCroy, claimed they had been tracking the bruise since February 24 2025, when Trump welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron to the White House, with a large, gnarly looking bruise on his hand. It comes after Melania Trump's awkward reaction to Donald's UN speech was exposed on camera.

“I glanced at a bunch of news articles about the recurring bruise on the back of Trump's right hand (which people have noticed since 2024) and they are oddly clustered around the 24th of the month,” the X user wrote.

“That suggests he's getting an infusion every month,” they continued. Other users agreed, adding their own evidence to the theory that Trump retreats once a month for an infusion.

@allenanalysis wrote on X, “Unverified reports say Trump receives monthly blood infusions between the 20th–24th. Slurred speech? Fatigue? Watch his clips around those dates. Something’s clearly off and it’s not just the rhetoric.”

Today, the president added fuel to the rumor mill by staying out of sight. Trump had no scheduled public appearances today, September 24, and on X, users pointed out that he also took a suspiciously long time to respond to the shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas, Texas.

Dr Gareth Nye, a lecturer at the University of Salford, told the Daily Star that the bruises on Trump’s hand could indeed be “from an IV drip” as the discolouration resembled the kind left by a needle insertion.

In recent years, IV vitamin drips have become a popular wellness trend, enjoyed by many celebrities, like Rihanna, Adele, and the Kardashian family to name just a few.

NAD+ jabs are particularly popular. NAD is a coenzyme found in all living cells, and is essential for DNA repair and energy production. It is typically administered directly into the bloodstream over 2-4 hours.

On social media, users think this might explain Trump’s absence on certain days, along with the reappearance of the bruise at certain times of the month.

Trump has been at the receiving end of speculation that his cognitive health is slowly declining. Several moments in recent months have caused concern that the president may be experiencing early dementia symptoms.

With the passing of the Mike Gundy era at OSU this week, one thing that occurred to me is would the “I’m a man I’m 40” bit even resonate in Trump’s America?

I mean sure it would get reported on in the moment but I’m not sure it would have 18 years of staying power like that one has.  Just another seemingly bizarre public moment lost in a sea of them.

Remember the all the fucking Q-anon insanity about how dems are trafficking and torturing children to harvest and then transfuse their adrenochrome?  Utter batshittery.

But also remember how literally every accusation from these fucks is a confession?

Oh FFS....Trump is actually trafficking and torturing children to harvest and then transfuse their adrenochrome.  I mean, why the fuck not.  We live in a land of shit that is beyond all sanity and credibility now.  At this point, it actually makes sense.

I mean.... how many times has "every accusation is a confession" failed? Not many.

And a lot of the time it's of the "What? What the hell kind of accusation is that? Why in the world would anyone..... oh I see, they're the ones doing it" variety. So, maybe?

The case is likely to be for false testimony to Congress, ie perjury.  That can be a very tough case for a prosecutor to prove unless there is contemporaneous evidence that the statement was false and the perjurer knew it.  That actually does happen sometimes, and actually most of the time when a perjury case is actually prosecuted, so there's little chance of the perjurer successfully claiming s/he forgot or was mistaken.

Unfortunately for Comey (but also probably fuck him, at least a little bit), that kind of case is pretty hard to negate ahead of trial.  So, it's unlikely he'd be convicted, but also unlikely he'll avoid a trial.  Rap/ride all that.

There will be motions to dismiss, just like Trump in his cases, but they'll be far more valid, but not necessarily grantable.  There will be one based on selective prosecution that will be a lot more credible than Trump's, but those are exceedingly hard to win.

Posted on Leopards thread but apropos this thread. Fuck over the US but let's help Argentina. Maybe Trump received a shipment of young girls.

 

https://buenosairesherald.com/economics/us-treasury-announces-full-scale-bailout-to-argentina-bond-purchase-swap-and-credit-line

The U.S. Treasury announced on Wednesday it will grant a full-on bailout for Argentina, which includes the purchase of the country’s USD bonds, a stand-by credit line, and a US$20 billion swap with the Central Bank.

“The Trump Administration is resolute in our support for allies of the United States, and President Trump has given President Milei a rare endorsement of a foreign official, showing his confidence in his government’s economic plans and the geopolitical strategic importance of the relationship between the United States and Argentina,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent posted on X.
