If you are deranged enough to obsessively lobby for a Nobel Peace Prize, then you should be automatically disqualified from receiving it.

You don't get a pass from me if you in any way support or defend the 34x felon-psychopath. I want nothing to do with you and you should be shunned for all time as the ignorant, gullible, & hateful cult member that you are.

Comey's attorney Pat Fitzgerald (both former colleagues of mine at SDNY) will likely pursue a 2-part fast track strategy: dismissal motion based on prosecutorial vindictiveness/selective prosecution which could result in a dismissal w/ prejudice but if it doesn't, a speedy trial.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.

His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.

Now he is tweeting in support of me.

This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.

Or used to work.

@normornstein.bsky.social: As a dear friend of Merrick Garland‘s, can you give any insight into why he hasn’t said a single word publicly since Jan. 20? How can someone who reveres democracy & the rule of law stay silent at a time like this? How is silence ≠ complicity?

JabbaNoBadda @jabbanobadda.bsky.social · 24d

Perhaps Merrick Garland would like to publicly weigh in on ANYTHING that’s happened during the past 9 months that the U.S. has been launching headfirst into fascism? Ya know, SOMETHING about the 1/6 pardons? SOMETHING about career DOJers being fired en masse? But nope. 🦗🦗

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

When you get to a certain age, the notable figures of your youth pass away on a regular basis. Case in point for me today is the death of Supertramp's Rick Davies. I grew up w/ this semi-progressive rock band's great music. The music lives on. RIP.

Trump should be impeached for murdering 11 persons. This is the only remedy since SCOTUS has bestowed upon him probable immunity for this heinous crime.

No "death penalty" for importation of illegal drugs only (constitutes cruel/unusual punishment per SCOTUS) & arrests should only take place after according due process to alleged perpetrators upon a probable cause showing. They could've been apprehended w/out murdering them.
