If the members of the Fourth Estate had testicular/ovarian integrity they would tell the Felon in the Oval Office that the First Amendment still has primacy in this country, no matter what he thinks. The best thing everyone could do at that dinner is to keep reaming him for the filth that he is.
There was a time when the fourth estate had power. It drove attention, and with that attention it told the American people what to know and quite often how to think.
That period for newspapers ended in about 1970. For TV networks, sometime in the last 25 years. Today, there's no single institution that can gather enough attention to present its story as the story.
So, those that remain in the information business, do what all powerless people do when they accept that they are powerless. They compromise. They do what they think it takes to get to another dawn.
What persists in this country is a 60 or 70-year-old idea of what the news media is. People continue to talk as if Henry Luce still walked the earth. Or William Randolph Hearst, or Walter Cronkite.
They don't. And have not for a very long time.
First step in fighting back on this is to reset our expectations to the present reality.
In our constitutional order, our rights and liberties are protected only by the concept that the law both enables and limits the powers of the present cadre of government officials.
That's all Liberty in the United States is: the Constitution, a law, a judge telling a government official a simple no.
Well that may make many wax poetic about the rule of law and all that shit, I think in light of what's going on today, that is attacks on human Liberty from swarms of public officials, that's very cold comfort.
So little subpoena, you got thrown into the trash today only because a life-termed judge said no. A day may come very soon when that act will be ignored, because the government official knows that the judge has no police force, no army.
No need to watch the festivities until the Democrats take over in '29, when they will be able, to again, have a stand-up comic do a riff on the administration.
He needs to be told to shut his fucking mouth. The Middle East has been around for a long time and the state of Israel was established in May 1948, two years after Combover Caligula was born and he had nothing to do with it.
What is so batty to me that all these people giving that orange bag of shit trophies (Nobel prize, FIFA trophy, this ring, etc), he acts as if he some how achieved them. He seriously thinks that if he has the trophy 🏆, he won. It is delusional!
I heard this comedian say to impress girls, go down to the thrift store and buy trophies and display them. Athletic ones the best, cause you are probably fat and outta shape. 🏆
And that Buckley clown should be required to spend at least 8 hours per day for a month sitting on a stool outside that courthouse wearing a silly paper hat with a sign around his neck that reads, "Please don't call me 'dumb as dog shit' because that would be unduly disparaging to dog shit."

Is the Justice Department filled with fake lawyers?
Happily, really bad lawyers who are not very good at conducting research.
It is quite a human reaction to plead stupidity when the truth is malevolence.
And they all pledge allegiance to Antipope Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society.
Nighters sheeple, be kind.

No need to watch the festivities until the Democrats take over in '29, when they will be able, to again, have a stand-up comic do a riff on the administration.

Pocket squares by that idiot Jake Tapper.

There are no periodists, journalists in what's called the media. They sold their soul, quit or were fired. In other countries they shoot them.
Waiting for happy hour. Somewhere is after 5 I am sure.
It is here! Well not really, but I use dog hours.
"If I wasn't here there woudl be no Israel or Middle East."
He needs to FUCKING STOP SAYING THIS SHIT AND PEOPLE NEED TO STOP FUCKING UCNRITICALLY FUCKING ACCEPTING IT!
He needs to be told to shut his fucking mouth. The Middle East has been around for a long time and the state of Israel was established in May 1948, two years after Combover Caligula was born and he had nothing to do with it.
I keep waiting for something like the ending to The Emperor's New Clothes to happen, but it never does.
(That originally autocorrected to The Emperor's New Clots, which I would be ok with too.)
What is so batty to me that all these people giving that orange bag of shit trophies (Nobel prize, FIFA trophy, this ring, etc), he acts as if he some how achieved them. He seriously thinks that if he has the trophy 🏆, he won. It is delusional!
He's like a gross old mangy jackdaw picking up sparkly trinkets and taking them back to his gross nest.
City Boy Me gonna guess that's one of those things that fly. A....bird?

Crazy, isn't ? I mean on top of everything else, these prizes and presents. The plane!
I hope AG Jack Smith refuses to give over the keys when that orange bag of shit tries to pick it up.
Wait till he accidentally accepts the World's Greatest Loser award.
Only if he has lettuce on his Macs tonight.
BTW, I'm dying to know what's on the menu!
lmao
This article is epic.

Forced to do entry-level paralegal gruntwork, too.

I doubt that boy has the wattage for entry level paralegal grunt work. :D

"I only like people that like me."
This says it all. The rest of us are just NPCs.
Does he want a quest? 'Cuz I can give the motherfucker a quest.
You got a quest for him? Will he need weapons? Or just Diet Coke and toilet paper?
