James Comey is set up for a discovery gold mine that could have Trump's DOJ making his dismissal case for him

Comey is set up for a discovery gold mine, if the Trump-driven prosecution 'even gets that far'

The DOJ may have no choice but to hand over key documents that could make Comey's dismissal case for him, before a trial can ever happen.

Finally the correct response to the Mango Mussolini’s tantrums —

Trump’s temper tantrum fails as his prosecutor absolutely refuses to bend the knee and charge NY’s AG

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit.

Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages.

If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

So here is my question. Let’s assume Miller & Co. are successful, i.e., they deport, jail, kill, all of the “undesirables.” What do they think society is like then? Like, what happens when they realize there’s still crime, drugs, and no one around to do half the jobs, from manual to skilled labor?1/

Oregon AG Rayfield: The first thing that might’ve told you the federal government wasn’t doing so hot was when they started off some of their arguments by talking about Truth Social as their source of facts.

Actually got a comment from the judge: “Is this really how you’re going to move forward?”
