i just don't get how you could formulate that Dunne and Fanone were "traitors"

Hmmm...

Trump is crazy paranoid like Jimmy

Jimmy is Trump without the moral courage to actually pull the trigger.

This too. "My client is uncontrollable...therefore any attempt to control his behavior is by definition impossible. "

This would be an effective lever for all criminal defendants in the future. "Judge, the very act of prosecuting me for murder indicates bias against murderers."

Welp our break in all things over tomorrow.

the haus frau who pays the Directv bill was apoplectic when she found out the game yesterday was on Godzilla Pikachu or whatever and not on Directv which she pays a king's ransom for a baseball package for.

This is DC so don’t think 90% of the people within 1 mile of this event are not hostile to Trump but still.

Dictatorship has its own momentum. Fear is the motivator.

Even better…RFK Jr does not get nationwide ballot access.

History suggests that it worked in WW2

CMV, didn’t we just vote for this?

Glad more people are standing up to these people.

Fun if true

Her district is about to suffer for this. That sounds like something from the "Hunger Games" but really that is how the world works.

This concerns me https://www.the-sun.com/news/11462689/putin-arrest-military-brass-sweeping-purge-ukraine-failure/ The last thing we want from these evil Putinists is efficiency.

I’ll allow it

Was just reading British comedian David Mitchell's book on the monarchy of briton down through the ages. He's got a great case against libertarian philosophy in the beginning when he rails about the period known as the Dark Ages being a time when the loss or Roman authority in Briton lead to the loss of all sorts of oppression such sanitation, running water and the rule of law. Libertarians in the Dark Ages were probably pretty happy but we won't know because they didn't leave any evidence of that happiness.

They gave up everything?

I'll say this. I was in Panama last year and saw plenty of of middle class Chinese with jobs in the country associated with the canal and other trade. They didn't seem to be in "get-to-the-US" mode.

So, apparently middle class PRC citizens are spending hard currency to fly to central America and then sneak into the US. What is weird about that is most airline routes do not cross the Pacific directly from Asia to Latin America. It has to do with not spending majority of flight over ocean which means that transit routes usually go Asian city to middle city like Dubai or Paris or Frankfurt or perhaps over the great circle to Los Angeles via Siberia/Alaska/Canada. So, the huddle masses yearning to breath free are more likely the educated and (possibly talented) who just don't like their odds of prospering in a system like that anymore. This particular article identifies Ecuador as being a hub for this transit from China to Colombia to the US border. https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/08/americas/china-us-migrants-illegal-crossings-intl-hnk-dst/index.html
