Moses Johnson is seriously deficient in the eyes of anyone who takes the simple homespun dictum attributed in the Gospels (John 8:32) to Jesus: "And the truth shall set you free."

Despite his gaslighting the threat, Covid would have claimed his life in 2020 but for the no-holds-barred medical intervention by a dedicated team of doctors using an experimental antibody cocktail by Regeneron, antiviral Remdesivir and steroid dexamethasone) unavailable to any save the POTUS.

Some media outlets refer to Trump's attempt to "remake" the DoJ; the more accurate word is "unmake". Which appears to have essentially become a fait accomplis. Remake is what happens after tyranny.

"Jury nullification is an old weapon against tyranny. America’s founding generation saw juries as charged with determining not just fact but also law—that is, jurors could decide to acquit the accused... if jurors believed that the law itself was unjust."

Campaigning yourself and through legions of surrogates for the Nobel Peace Prize should in itself be disqualifying. Fortunately everything else about him also is.

Donald Trump has been illegally shutting down the parts of government he doesn't like and firing tens of thousands of federal workers since Day One.

Republicans’ shutdown doesn't give him any more power to create chaos.

It’s workers and the American people who will suffer.

Breaking the paralyzing spell of "juristocracy."

"The Constitution deliberately disperses interpretive power to Congress, the president and state officials. More important, as the preamble to the document makes clear, 'we the people' are the ultimate sovereigns."

The mindless idiocy of Moses Johnson is equaled only by his sanctimonious sycophancy which is so contrived it must take a great deal of effort to sustain day after day - but seems to come naturally to this anti-democracy tool who has hastened the demise of Congress as co-equal branch of government.

Roger Marshall lies not only through his teeth but every other orifice as well. For this volume of toxic lies one hole ain't enough. He doesn't know a protester from his washing machine agitator but he speaks the rote lies he's given.

I've noticed them exploding on Youtube Shorts. Some are obviously fake because of the absurdity of the content. But others are difficult to divine. Should be labeled AI in a category unto itself. Nary to be admixed with the, ahem, "real" stuff.

Bondi does not testify to anything but her slavish loyalty to Trump, not the law, not the Constitution and certainly not truth or accountability. And her demeanor toward Democratic Senators asking legitimate questions of her is nothing short of grotesque for an alleged Attorney General of the U.S.
