    The funny thing is (and I know you know this) by the time they were making the show, his real home town of Conyers was waaaay more like the Stone Mountain he describes/pokes fun at. I wonder if the writers just thought Stone Mountain was a funnier name.

    People made the same prediction for the New York trial, and they were wrong. Does that give you pause?

    Learn from history. Stay humble about what you think you know.

    When you first mentioned Venable I first thought you were referring to the big DC law firm.

    Good timing on this one. Hoping it will overcome the forking, ridiculous, southern pandering, stupid, so called Electoral College. !!!!!!!!
    My biggest fear is that the voting majority will be made null and void once again. While smug REPUGNANT Shills pull the rug out.
    This is excellent.

    Interesting if true.

    Who the hell is Harry Shannon? Just speaking for myself, unless it’s a tweet from someone we all know, you should put in a link to an article.

    Honestly…this is just pretty ********ing astonishing. Not a criticism of you or @dapip …just the fact that our world has been so turned upside down by Trump and his minions that something like this fails to register. Like it’s something new? Amazing.

    It is both interesting and true. We’ve also know about it for almost a year. McGonigol. This should have been one of the bigger scandals of our lifetimes. Remarkable that it gets buried in our subconscious to the point many otherwise engaged individuals don’t recall it.

    Edit: just looked…he was indicted in January 2023

    Btw - why do you think the Russians got the MAGA’s to start pushing that “deep state” shit? It’s cover for the fact that the Russians have infiltrated places like the FBI and congress. When the FBI and DoJ start indicting…and those indicted all end up being from a certain political persuasion…you get to claim the indictments were politically motivated rather than based on evidence and actual crimes.

    The Russians goals have always been to take us down from the inside…going back to the Cold War.

    Thanks for (re) educating me about the details here.

    Yeah, IMO this kind of thing is just 2 notches behind something like Iran-Contra, a scandal that defined Reagan’s second term. With Trump, it’s just random detritus on the side of the highway.

    I wouldn’t say we’re ********ed. Harris could win and at least in 2026 we have a functioning senate (or maybe 2024, with some big breaks) and then we can start delousing the judiciary, law enforcement, all the rest. But it is very true that if American democracy survives this election, and the next one, and the next one…the rot is very, very, very deep. Trump as symptom vs. Trump as idiosyncratic was an interesting thing to discuss 5, 6, 7 years ago. Now it’s kind of pointless…Trumpism IS Republicanism. It’ll be years for that to change.

    Dear Merrick

    I agree with this a billion percent



    This is why your predecessor’s involvement in declination decisions purely on political grounds was so ********ing dangerous. And why your stubborn insistence on protecting the reputation of DoJ by not going back and revisiting those travesties (obstruction…Flynn prosecution reversal) was so damaging. You’re as culpable as anyone for politicizing the DoJ….for sweeping this decisions under the rug.

    So it appears that Donnie's been rubbing his liddle limp mushroom against Loomer in her red MAGA neglige trying not to squish her while saying "oh yeah, oh yeah - we just need to get you blonded-up like Ivanka. She's such a piece of ass"

    Weird thing is "old' pics of Loomer show an unattractive lady, but not all plastic surgeried up. Now I cant tell WTF she did.
