My mom passed away a bit ago. It has been a pain in the ass to bring her remains back to the US. She was a retired Senior Foreign Service Officer. Very well decorated. Never did an easy tour (Fuck you to the State haters).

I cannot bring back her remains. One of our legal eagle knows how long I have been dealing with this. Fucking hard.

The one number, the only one, that can do it, goes to voice mail. The office is gutted.

It is just me and my brother left. We wanted to spread her ashes, just a bit, a Jameson's shot worth, on the spring training field for the Red Sox.

I used to think this is the case.  But I don't think he does.  I think dotard is just infatuated w/ the way Putin has made himself dictator. 

Plus, what the fuck could he have that hasn't already been thought or known about The Idiot.  Hell, Putin could release video of trump sucking Putin's dick and I don't think it would make a dent in the cult. 

It's money.

Trump owes all these fuckers a ton of money. The Russians, the Saudis, etc.

Every accusation is a confession.  Exhibit # infinity.

The people who screamed the loudest about "weaponization" of the DOJ for political purposes have, overnight, turned it into an entirely political branch of the government.

You lost sight of the oath that you took when you started at the Department of Justice by suggesting that you retain discretion to interpret the Constitution in a manner inconsistent with the policies of
a democratically elected President and a Senate-confirmed Attorney General.


This is chilling to me.

By equating disagreement with policies as violating your oath to the constitution seems like a pretty extreme escalation of rhetoric

Because that's what the president of the US needs to add to his list of duties -- COTB of the Kennedy Center.

The top federal prosecutor in New York and two senior federal prosecutors in Washington have resigned after they refused to follow a Justice Department order to drop the corruption charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams, multiple officials said Thursday. 

The resignations amount to a stunning public rebuke of the Trump administration's new Justice Department leadership in one of the country's highest-profile criminal cases.

In a stunning rebuke, all the officials with a sense of ethics and morals have left the justice department while the ones who do crimes are staying and facing no consequences.  It’s unclear how Trump will weather this storm.

It's not just an escalation of rhetoric, it is completely incorrect, and misstates the hierarchy.

As a member of the federal bar, she took an oath.  Nowhere does it provide for deference to what the POTUS or AG thinks.  Instead, it is an oath of service to one supreme source, and that's it:

Quote

I, , DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR (OR AFFIRM) THAT AS AN ATTORNEY AND AS A COUNSELOR OF THIS COURT I WILL CONDUCT MYSELF UPRIGHTLY AND ACCORDING TO LAW, AND THAT I WILL SUPPORT THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.

The Constitution.  That's it.  That is the thing that she has sworn to serve, unflinchingly.  I took that same oath.  In a fight between the Constitution and what the POTUS, or AG, or ANYONE, including my client, says or demands I do....the Constitution wins.  100% of the time, the Constitution wins.  If you are an attorney in the DOJ, and the AG orders you to take action via the courts that would violate the Constitution, your oath to uphold the Constitution trumps the AG's order.  Yeah, the AG will almost certainly fire you.  But not only does she retain DISCRETION to interpret the Constitution in a manner inconsistent with the POTUS and AG, she has a sworn obligation to exercise her independent judgement and evaluation to determine whether their interpretation and order would do so. 

Just like a soldier has not just the right, but the obligation to disobey an unlawful order (including an order that would violate the Constitution).

That Boze fuckhead just said "what the POTUS or AG think always trump the Constitution," and that's a fucking authoritarian monarchy.  Fuck that shit.  I'm an American.  We tell kings to get fucked, we don't bow to them.

Is there a strategic benefit to resigning other than not being the one who has to carry out the order?

I'm sure he's terribly distraught at the prospect of installing more hand-picked lackeys to fill those roles. whats scott baio up to these days, anyways?

A noisy resignation is all these people can do.  They can't really buck the system from within.

Emil looks like the type of guy who has tortured at a minimum several kittens to death, if not actual humans. 

My kid sent me this today from some kiosk at Barton Creek Mall. He said nobody seemed interested in buying it, so we got that goin' for us ... which is nice.

So, um, if the national parks start seeing some really bad things happen, I may not be around for a while. That is my reddest of lines. Monkey Wrench Gang is a great book. 

He has successfully destroyed America’s future in 20 or whatever days. Impressive. 

My company has officially started referring to the "Gulf of America" in public communications, and pretty much any employee resource group that could be tangentially associated with "DEI" has been told to stand down.  Historically, leadership at this company has been much further left than many other in the industry.

It's so much more demoralizing than I expected it to be.
