We don't refer to it as "waterboarding" anymore it's termed "extreme thirst quenching via aquatic deluge" now.

Can they keep this shit up for years? Because I'm afraid they're just never gonna stop. They're keeping it up for years. And you know what they say about justice delayed, right?

The man leaves a trail, no doubt. (The "man" being "Trump," don't hold me to those definitions.)

I think what he meant was "a multi-ply of privilege", which is what they call expensive toilet paper, only useful for wiping your backside. Which is what judges will do with it when they read that drivel.

The idea that the president can claim executive privilege preemptively over everything he has ever done, and anyone who ever worked in his administration can also claim executive privilege without even consulting the president as to particulars? So the executive branch never has to answer any questions at any time before during or after they are elected? To Congress, courts, everyone?

Got it. I hope King Biden is listening.

Remember when republicans still controlled Congress and a Trump flunky would just smugly look back at the committee and say, “we’re not going to answer that question.”

Senator, “are you asserting executive privilege?”

Flunky, “we’re not going to answer that question either.”

And the Republican chair would just shrug like Reverend Jim and say, “Okee doke.”

Filled with dog poo and left out in the rain so it couldn't be set on fire.
