The interview below regarding the criminal liability facing Rudy Giuliani is impressive. It shows that Georgia’s Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis, an acknowledged expert in the use of RICO as a prosecutorial tool, is on course to building our country’s largest “conspiracy against the United States” case in its history.
She’s issued 17 subpoenas. If all you want to see is Giuliani behind bars, do all these other people really need to be deposed under oath?
Yes, it’s a bizarre tale, but it’s one about a guy whose career was anything but strange until its very end. Fauci had devoted himself to public health, and gave us 50 years, his entire adult life, using the best of his knowledge base to keep Americans safe from epidemic diseases.
Next thing you know, the whole world, mind you, not just the United States, but all 206+ sovereign countries around the globe got hit with COVID-19 and its variants. Suddenly, the entire world of Fox News acolytes, the Alex Jones followers, and the QAnoners are now suddenly 100% convinced that the “good doctor” isn’t so good after all.
Is he a part of the Deep State? Has he teamed up with all the other world governments to enslave the Earth’s population? Does he work for the Democrats, supporting their efforts to remove the honest and brave President Trump? Is he an anti-capitalist, attempting to ruin the U.S. economy? Maybe he hates our Constitution and the liberties that it formerly provided to us all.
No one knows for sure, but what is absolutely certain is that Fauci is fiercely anti-American, and that his sole motive is crippling U.S. society. Could be pro-CRT and LGBTQ.
Well, Fauci will be gone in a few short months. Soon we’ll be back on our own, looking to crucify a new public health expert whose aim is to cripple the American way of life.
From Hamlet: What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! how infinite in faculties! in form and moving, how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension, how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals!
Really? Trump supporters are “godlike” in their “apprehension?”
Here’s a thought from historian Will Durant, best known for his 11-volume series The Story of Civilization, written in the middle of the 20th Century.
It’s a horrifying thing to watch a nation whose government, designed to be “of, by, and for the people,” attacked from within by a man bent to usurping power from the American people. And, as Durant noted, it happens in the blink of an eye.
I don’t think anyone, even the people who voted for him twice, believe that Trump hires the “best” people in the sense of their being decent and honorable human beings. Roger Stone prides himself of his “dirty tricks.”
By the time this is over, it’s possible that many dozens of those who participated in the coup attempt (on top of perhaps 1000 foot-soldiers) will go up the river. Think not only of Trump, Eastman, Giuliani and the other top strategists, but all the fake electors who knowingly violated their oaths.
Identifying all these people as felons is one thing. Now it’s time to send them all to prison.
The reason I normally don’t make political contributions is that I don’t believe most of the claims being made in the candidates’ appeals.
Might the idiot Hershel Walker win in Georgia? No. Georgia is conservative, but they really don’t like pathologically lying morons.
Could the fascist Doug Mastriano prevail in Pennsylvania? Sorry. There is a lot of real estate between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, but not enough to elect another Ron DeSantis as PA’s governor.
I’m less familiar with the scene described at left in Wisconsin. Ron Johnson, one of the biggest ass****s in the nation, is the incumbent, and so I have to think he has a real chance to win another term.
For that reason, I’m thinking about sending Mandela Barnes a few bucks. The alternative is a Senate full of people who want to help Donald Trump overthrow the U.S. federal government, and I’m not too keen on that idea.
I suppose that a case could be made that Dodge is an auto brand specially targeted at morons. Think Budweiser, Trump.
But most people don’t like to look stupid. Speaking strictly for myself, I would feel like an absolute idiot driving a car that make artificial noise, especially lots of it.
That’s on top of the fact that EV buyers are willing to pay extra for a quiet ride.
Sitting at my wife’s desk with the sliding doors open, I just read this headline (above), and shouted, “Oh ****!!” loud enough for our neighbors to hear. Glad they don’t have kids.
Upon reading further, however, this really isn’t that bad of news. Graham successfully appealed the court’s ruling that he must testify on the basis that certain types of questions are forbidden under the U.S. Constitution’s speech and debate clause, which prohibits asking lawmakers about their legitimate legislative functions.
It strikes me that no one could possibly care about anything Graham did as a “legitimate legislative function”; he’s going to have trouble convincing a judge that helping Trump overthrow the U.S. government has a great deal of legitimacy.
In this edition of Glenn Kirschner’s Justice Matters (see below), we learn what we had long suspected about then-Attorney General Bill Barr, i.e., that he’s a bald-faced liar who grossly and deliberately mischaracterized the “Mueller Report.” The document had laid out numerous instances in which Donard Trump obstructed the investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, all of which were ignored in Barr’s presentation to Congress and to the American people.
Where will this take us in our prosecution of Trump for his number crimes since he came to power? Probably nowhere, since the investigation into the coup attempt and the theft of government documents has already come such a long way.
Having said that, it be great to send Barr up the river for perjury.
The reason we don’t tax religions isn’t that we think they need to be subsidized. Rather, it’s that we don’t want what the Supreme Court (in its better days) deemed to be “excessive entanglement” between the church and state. The thinking: keep Congress a million miles away from the affairs of our churches. Seems legit, IMO.
True, this means that churches have that much more power to prey upon idiots, which is regrettable in the extreme. But we prefer that to an assault against our First Amendment.
