Puget Sound island dweller. Tired lawyer. Increasingly entropic.

The Tiger’s starter was actually a single-cell organism.

SaukFish @saukfish.bsky.social · 4h

I predict the Tigers get six in the top of the 15th, and the Mariners tie it back up in the bottom.

Rod Carew.

Raleigh and Rodriguez too.

Can you give my man Dan Wilson a quick text on this?

SaukFish @saukfish.bsky.social · 5h

Well, Mariners fan here, and it’s just as painful.

SaukFish @saukfish.bsky.social · 6h

As Mariners fan, I’m checking in on social media to protect my heart.

So it’s a “military matter,” rather than a purported inability to execute existing domestic laws via available law enforcement resources?

SaukFish @saukfish.bsky.social · 7h

There is no universe in which this happened.

Drew Ensign has made it very clear to the country that he’s an unethical lawyer and a bad guy.

Fuck them.

I’m definitely going to be out on 10/18.

Fuck them.

I didn’t intend to suggest said that, though I could have been clearer that I was being sarcastic. In light of his remarks during the Ninth Circuit, I was imagining how he might have reacted to the statement.

Is it so much that they were true as a matter of law, or is that the factual content of the answers was literally true, even if misleading or evasive relative to the point the questioner was trying to make?

Entirely as an aside, it’s comical to see Trump himself expressly excluded from the scope of the TRO.

Okay you orange tub of crap, you’re free to hop on AF1, fly to Chicago, grab yourself a gun and start kicking some ass. Go to it, big boy.

SaukFish @saukfish.bsky.social · 1d

It’s stomach-churning to see district courts confront, very directly, the lies about their communities being told by the federal government, only to see appellate courts insist that they shut up and eat Trump’s shit sandwich of lies.

And atop it all sits SCOTUS, the greatest reality-denier of all.

SaukFish @saukfish.bsky.social · 1d

Very well done.

SaukFish @saukfish.bsky.social · 1d

What the fuck? Hagiography for this corrupt little prick?

SaukFish @saukfish.bsky.social · 1d

While — let us never, ever forget — telling Trump that he will never face criminal exposure for anything he does, so long as he can slap the “executive action” label on it.

Mark Joseph Stern @mjsdc.bsky.social · 1d

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

We’ll see if she gets it. It would be a very fine thing if they bounced it.

SaukFish @saukfish.bsky.social · 1d

Yes, with a giant tiara.

SaukFish @saukfish.bsky.social · 1d

Reductions north of 100% mean we’re into refund land, and I guess I need to tell them where to send my check.

I am entirely prepared to believe that he, like nearly all of them, is thicker than pigshit.

SaukFish @saukfish.bsky.social · 1d

Well, it may be evidence that he’s stupid, but it may also just affirm that he’s entirely comfortable saying this out loud, for attribution, in America in 2025.

After all, he’s just describing a Kavanaugh Stop.

SaukFish @saukfish.bsky.social · 1d

This is Brett Kavanaugh’s world.

SaukFish @saukfish.bsky.social · 1d

The odds of anything like regular elections in 2026 is about 50/50, and far, far less than that for 2028.

The endgame for all of this is the violent neutralization of political threats to Trump, with election results being the most obvious.

And THAT is all driven by his fear of dying in prison.
