From the Hagan Scotten (who, BTW, is a Republican who clerked for the Boofster and John Roberts) resignation letter:
"I can even understand how a Chief Executive whose background is in business and politics might see the contemplated dismissal-with-leverage as a good, if distasteful, deal. But any assistant U.S. attorney would know that our laws and traditions do not allow using the prosecutorial power to influence other citizens, much less elected officials, in this way. If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me."
Here is the latest on the next person who resigned in the face of an illegal and unconstitutional order to drop the Adam's case by chief criminal extorter Bove:
"Scotten is an Army veteran who earned two Bronze medals serving in Iraq as a Special Forces troop commander. He graduated from Harvard Law School at the top of his class in 2010 and clerked for Chief Justice John Roberts.
In a resignation letter to Bove, Scotten said he was “entirely in agreement” with Sassoon's refusal to seek dismissal of charges that the mayor had accepted over $100,000 in illegal campaign contributions and lavish travel perks from foreign nationals looking to buy his influence while he was Brooklyn borough president campaigning to be mayor."
Starting to wonder if there will be any Federalist left in the government in a few days. I'm pretty sure, though, this will be the basis of Trump using Bove to fire Chief Justice Roberts and anyone else who doesn't follow the Constitution as handed down from Ararat by Trump.
"Update: Reuters reports that someone has volunteered as tribute." Does this person have a name? It seems that in order to "sign" the motion, this person will have to reveal his/her name. Complaint to the state bar association(s) where this person is licensed to practice should follow immediately.
I’m sorry my precious WONKETTE friends, but I must vent. They just summarily fired the youngest and best of my team. She and I are devastated, this JUST CANNOT BE LEGAL! What the fuck is happening?!? We are diving headfirst into the Dark Ages!
It stemmed from an incident where a bunch of young Thai boys, members of a youth soccer team, got trapped in an underground cave when floods shut off their egress. Musk proposed to design some sort of cockamamie midget submarine to rescue them. The hero who eventually did rescue them dismissed Musk's plan as nonsense, whereupon Musk tweeted that he was "a pedo guy."
The hero sued, but the case was dismissed by some judge, who must have been half-senile at least, on the grounds that "pedo guy" was just a generic insult like "scoundrel" or "mountebank."
That's when I knew Musk was a useless tit.
Sorry, I guess all this is small potatoes now. I just kind of have to distract myself with these rabbit holes to keep from going crazy, and to remind myself just how worthless these people are.
Just this morning I began to put together a list of some Musk outrages and the episode with the Thai boys is on my list. Before continuing, one thing that must have gotten Musk's goat was when underwater cave diver Vern Unsworth told Musk to shove his untested micro-sub "where the sun don't shine.")
Musk outrages:
(1) Reneged on supplying Early Adaptors (who made $5000 deposits and were total devotees) for the 40 kWh Tesla Model S. Huge outcry from other Tesla devotees forced Musk to supply the 60kWh model.
(2) Fired Peter Rawlinson, the Model S chief engineer and designer, a week (or two) before the official release of the car.
(3) John Bonner episode where NYTimes technology columnist was given a Model S for a test drive. In a cold winter night (January) the electric juice ran out (in Connecticut) and Musk started to claim that Bonner purposely sabotaged the drive.
(4) Forced Tesla employees to work during the worst of the Covid crisis.
(5) Went after Vern Unsworth (as mentioned above.)
(6) Threatened Twitter editor Joel Roth (?) who was forced to flee and go into hiding.
Yeah, I'm so sick of these assholes who have had everything in life handed to them on a silver platter, who have more than anybody could ever need and yet they go into spasms of rage if anyone asks them to share even a crumb with someone else. They all think they deserve this monstrous wealth and that they got it because of their own hard work and genius. It's more that 80% of it is luck, opportunity, being born into the "right" family or being in the right place at the right time. Then they all have the fucking nerve to whine that people are "mean" to them. Count yourselves lucky we don't come after you with pitchforks and torches.
Put ICE Agents in Rikers? Sounds like a good idea. Oh, wait...you mean *not* as prisoners?

Ta, Marcie. We, the voters of NY, have to put more pressure on Kathy Hochul. Adams still acts and thinks like a corrupt cop.
“In a bid to save people’s jobs” my big fat fanny. Stop surrendering in advance!

Saint valentine's day massacre
FedSoc people never thought the leopards they helped unleash would eat their faces.
There's a lesson in there somewhere but I'm too exhausted to think.
So, corruption isn't only allowed but expected? Figures.

because they saved the jobs of all the people in the room?
You have got to be fucking KIDDING.
ROTFLMFAO!
Collaborating with blatant breach of the law is not their job.

OT:
Hey, everybody, we just deported 119 people to Panama.
So, when we take Panama because it's our canal, do they automatically become American citizens?
Maybe become a citizen of Greenland.
Federal agency, probationary employee. But there is a PROCESS FOR A REDUCTION IN FORCE. It is not being followed at all.
😡
"like" button is an unfortunate nomenclature because there is nothing likable about your experience. I click in solidarity.
I really want a frown face too. And thanks so much, I get it!
OT: I just eated some green beans and egg noodles.
This has been... your Lunch Update.

It is not legal. That does not seem to matter anymore.
Can you go in the office and demand she be hired back?
Make a list of all the good things she has done for the company.
I dunno, something about the picture of Adams & Homan, they both seem to think Homan owns Adams or something
Let's put Adams and Robinson in a room together. Robinson wants to own one. Could be interesting.

Now, now. It's always fun to reminisce about how worthless these people have ever been.
Like, as a kid, Chump was a big, stupid bully with money.

That includes my Mom and Dad, by the way.

Yep.
