    He probably got it from the Daily Fail. Between Fox and Mail they never fail.

    I think the arson squad would call it an electrical problem.

    Those people and the GOP are what we’re up against.

    I don't know if I'm more offended as a person of faith or as an American.

    The irony is the Republicans are the ones who talk about the importance of having a President who is internationally respected, then they elect first W, then this clown.

    MAGAts have gone from "I like him cause he's not PC like other pols and will shake things up in DC" to "bow down before your Lord Savior, peons" Textbook cult-like behavior.

    That is true. I read an article about how the tenor of his rallies have changed. People dontcome to hear him tell it like it is, as they did in 2016. Now they come to hear The Legend. He is half Jesus, half Jim Morrison.

    Is this a trait for Evangelicals? I seem to recall Bush the Younger getting some level of deification. Perhaps not to this degree, but there were definitely references to him being on a crusade and such. Obama definitely got the "He's a devil/antichrist" treatment.

    They say "respected." They mean "feared." And while Trump is little more than a bloviating hemorrhoid on the body politic, he is not stable and has the nuke codes. So his base is good with him.

    Damn Jersey prankster! :mad:

    There's another anti-Trumper not far from my job. He's in a redder part of Jersey than Asbury Park so there's more of a risk from the MAGAt crowd.

    I stand by my rep of usscouse: I think the arson squad might be pro-Trump enough to declare it an electrical fire even if a MAGA hat next to a gas can labelled with Trump 2020 stickers is left at the scene.

    The independent Federal Judges Association is planning an emergency meeting to address issues stemming from the Justice Department's decision to intervene in the case involving Roger Stone, a longtime ally of President Trump.

    Philadelphia U.S. District Judge Cynthia Rufe, president of the group, told USA Today that it “could not wait” until its spring conference to discuss the recent decisions made within the department and that its executive committee would convene a conference call on Tuesday after the department backtracked on its recommendation for Stone's sentence.

    “There are plenty of issues that we are concerned about,” Rufe, who was nominated by former President George W. Bush, told the newspaper, noting that the group called for the meeting after Trump railed against the initial sentencing recommendation Stone received.

    This Bill Barr spark looks like it’s going to erupt into a firestorm. The Justice department is calling on all sitting cases to report on any interference at all from the AG or his office.
    Especially if they have anything or anyone related to Trump. Another they’re keeping an eye on is Eric Princes’ case.

    MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace on Monday broke down “the case against William Barr” as controversy continues to envelop the Department of Justice.

    “Republicans and Democrats who have served in the Justice Department for the past 12 presidents are today calling for William Barr’s resignation as our country’s attorney general,” Wallace reported.

    Wallace read from an open letter signed by 2,000 former federal prosecutors and DOJ officials.

    “But Mr. Barr’s actions in doing the President’s personal bidding unfortunately speak louder than his words. Those actions, and the damage they have done to the Department of Justice’s reputation for integrity and the rule of law, require Mr. Barr to resign,” the officials said.

    Wallace noted that former Deputy Attorney General Donald Ayer called Barr’s actions “unAmerican.” (That unAmerican link is worth reading as is the link ‘open letter’ above)

    “The Department of Justice still reeling from the sudden resignations last week of four career prosecutors on the Roger Stone case,” Wallace noted. “That was after Barr interfered in the sentencing phase for Stone, calling for more lenient sentences for the president’s long-time advisor, which Trump celebrated on Twitter. The resignations were punctuated by the appointment of another special prosecutor to investigate the investigation of another trump aide, Mike Flynn.”

    The host read a quote from The Washington Post.

    “The Justice Department in the Trump era has repeatedly tasked U.S. attorneys from far-flung offices to parachute into politically explosive cases in Washington, raising concerns among current and former officials that agency leaders are trying to please the president by reviewing and reinvestigating cases in which he is personally or politically invested,” the newspaper reported.

    It might be the most notable agency doing doing this. But I guarantee DoD, Energy, Interior, etc. is knee deep in Trumpian conflicts and/or pushing his personal agenda.
