AG Pam Bondi has been subpoenaed by House Oversight Chair James Comer to testify under oath about the DOJ’s handling of the Epstein files. The deposition is set for April 14. No more private briefings. No more redactions. Answer the questions.

Am I naive to still hold out a tiny glimmer of hope that our NATO allies know that the majority of us do NOT support how the Donvict is treating them?

IMO, they are rightfully tired of, as one of them said, not knowing what they are going to get every four years b/c some loons in WI are hysterical about the price of eggs.

The chief justice of the United States, John Roberts, said on Tuesday that hostility directed in personal terms at judges is “dangerous, and it’s got to stop”.

The comment came just days after Donald Trump’s latest social media broadside against judges who have ruled against him and his administration.

Roberts did not mention the US president by name in his remarks at an event at Rice University in Houston. But Roberts, who has led the court for more than two decades, said that while criticism of judicial decisions is welcome and often healthy, attacks of a personal nature against judges cross a line.

“The problem sometimes is that the criticism can move from a focus on legal analysis to personalities, and you see … that it’s more directed in a personal way,” Roberts said. “And that, frankly, can be quite dangerous.”

He added: “Judges around the country work very hard to get it right. And if they don’t, their opinions are subject to criticism. But personally directed hostility is dangerous and it’s got to stop.”

Trump called for Boasberg’s removal from any cases relating to the presidency, adding that the judge should “suffer serious disciplinary action” along with “numerous other corrupt judges”.

Trump last year called for Boasberg’s impeachment by Congress and referred to him as “radical left” after Boasberg issued an adverse ruling against the administration that attempted to block the deportation of hundreds of Venezuelans to El Salvador because of lack of due process.

Roberts then issued a rare rebuke to the president and describe impeachment as “not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision”.

It is at this moment that Roland Freisler has a chuckle from hell.

You unleashed this monster. You made this bed so lie in it, Republican shitbag.

ManchuCandidate's avatar

To be "fair", Dickbag is right. It's not nice to make fun of judges. However, I think it is pretty much open season on Dickbag Roberts and the Fascy Five who gave Preznit Trump immunity for whatever crimes (and there's a lot) based on the legal principle of "Fuck you I'm the king."

And seeing to their continued good heath

For we poor humans would be lost without them.

Amen

Uh, Abughazaleh carpetbagged her way into the district. Many people are still unclear as to whether she actually lives in the district, which she seems to have chosen as a good opportunity. She excels at self-presentation. She became prominent via Tik Tok, after all. More than that? Well, unlike many of her opponents, including several who do not have the benefit of generous out of state donors, she hasn't done the actual work of governance. Not yet. I agree that there are great candidates, including several who are not leading. Is it all vibes now, Wonkette?

So long, fucker.

“Patriot” in the sense of “traitor.”

He deserves an Andy Mccabe style retirement - yanked out from under him 48hrs before it's official.

Instead of fighting over a 21-mile-wide bottleneck forever, we cut a new channel through friendly territory. A dozen thermonuclear detonations and you’ve got a waterway wider than the Panama Canal, deeper than the Suez, and safe from Iranian attacks.

Oh, sure. Just ignore the metric tons of fallout dust that would probably blow all over the Middle East. Though considering the Armageddon whackaloons running about, they probably wouldn't mind soaking up a few thousand rads.

For interested East Coasters!

"On Monday, the sun released a strong solar flare, setting up a geomagnetic storm watch for Wednesday evening — and a chance for the northern lights to appear in New England for the third time this year.

NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center classified the storm watch as a level G2 (moderate), the lower end of a five-point scale ranging from G1 (minor) to G5 (extreme).

A geomagnetic storm watch of that level can extend the visibility of the northern lights as far south as the border of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont.

“Anything reaching G2 levels at favorable early evening/dark hours could lead to the aurora being seen from northern New England,” said Shawn Dahl, service coordinator for the Space Weather Prediction Center."
