🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ “During a marathon day of proceedings in the Mar-a-Lago classified case, a morning hearing in front of Judge Aileen devolved into a shouting match amongst the attorneys, and the afternoon series of arguments prompted the judge to wonder if the legal nuances of the case may be too difficult for jurors to understand” https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/22/politics/trump-documents-case-judge-cannon-hearing?cid=ios_app

@GottaLaff
Holy moly! This isn't difficult to understand. Under the Presidential Records Act, intelligence reports provided to a president are not the property of the president. They belong to the citizens and have to go the National Archives. A president can keep diaries, or notes they've created. It's very narrow. "Were these docs produced by a national intelligence agency? Yes. Did you find them in the National Archives? No, in defendants bathroom. Did he have permission to have them? No." I believe Bill Barr calls that toast.

Weather and climate change aren’t the same thing, but climate change is creating extremes.

Despite this, Ron DeSantis (R) just signed a law deleting climate change from Florida policy, banning the construction of offshore wind turbines, and boosting fossil fuels.

DeSantis isn’t in the running anymore for President but Trump is and his plan for addressing the climate is if anything worse.

DeSantis erases climate change from FL laws, strikes blow at windmills:

Is there no precedent this court will not depart from? We can't have individual states throwing Trump off the ballot because that would be “chaos” but we can have individual states creating and enforcing their own immigration policies as if they were separate countries? How on earth can the court justify this?

Don’t let any more Republican Presidents get elected. We can’t have any more right wingers on our courts.

Supreme Court allows Texas to enforce immigration law:

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has called for the Jewish people at the pro-Palestine protest at the Capitol to be "prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."

She also asserted that the incident was an "insurrection" and is demanding that the Capitol Police hand over all "surveillance footage, photographic evidence, police reports, and arrest records" relating to the protests.

Blatant stupidity never ceases to amuse me!

A Russian woman says no water or gas in America. She is probably addressing Ukrainian refugees in the US, saying that "Ukraine was and will be ours."

Data from 2022 shows that about 70% of Russians have never been abroad. Only about 2% have gone abroad less than a year ago by then.

    I have to admit something.

    My motivations for fighting & occasionally sounding the alarm on are largely selfish.

    I don't want to suffer. I don't want my family to suffer. I don't want my friends with targets on their backs to suffer and die.

    Assuming that we can stop all of that from happening, I'd like to retire in . I can't do that if the are in territory, which brings me back to being selfish.
