Cause there's a chance that they could appoint a real prosecutor, appropriately, and that prosecutor could re-bring these stupid cases.

But, remember, no *actually qualified* prosecutor was willing to bring these cases.

Happy Thanksgiving Week to Librarian of Congress Todd Blanche. You sold your soul a few times at this point. I remember my white shoe firm BIL telling me a year ago that you would bring "sanity" to the White House. LOL. I hope you all lose your shirts and are prosecuted. Stay inept!

The really bleak part is when it's older people you respected or even looked up to. Many such cases.
I've deleted most of my FB info, just kept my account alive to use site for work. So depressing watching people I friended, for whatever reason over the years, share idiotic AI slop. A big neon sign screaming "DO NOT INTERACT WITH THIS PERSON."

Highly likely.
Until he told Putin what he wanted & Putin laughed in his face & then said “ you remember the tapes I have on you? Agree with me or USA citizens know what you have done”. I’m assuming that’s what he’s said

Trump's pretend presidency
is built on a pile of outright lies spewed from his filthy pedo, diet coke drinkin',
Mickey D's filet of fish
eatin', they'll let you do "it" because you're a star disgusting old-ass mouth.
Keep in mind that this serial liar also promised a hundred times during the campaign that he would be able to end the war “in 24 hours” with “one phone call” to Putin because he has “a great relationship” with him, “knows just what to say to him,” & “it won’t even be that hard.”

"Declared war" requires an act of Congress
True, but here the Alien Enemies Act comes to mind 🤔

"whenever there shall be a declared war ... all "subjects of the hostile nation or government" could be "apprehended, restrained, secured and removed, as alien enemies"

I would guess Donald wants to deport Venezuelans and that seems to let him.

Understand that the Halligan thing is 100% Pam Bondi's fuck-up. She could have appointed Halligan Special Attorney and this thing would still be alive.

So it's not just that HALLIGAN is an incompetent bigot.

It's that Bondi is too.

3/ And whether they can reindict at all is questionable. Judge Currie suggest otherwise in dicta, writing that an "invalid indictment...cannot serve to block the door of limitations as it swings closed," relying on district court decisions in Maryland and Illinois.

2/…expect DOJ to contest that, both in court and by trying to install their own pick under other rules. They only have 6 months to reindict. As a practical matter, it’s unclear any of this resolves that quickly. It’s a mess.

1/Because Judge Currie says the govt can’t keep appointing acting US Attys after an initial 120 day appt, it’s now up to the local district judges to name an acting us atty. They’re likely to name someone who will stand for the rule of law & not reindict bad cases. But…
And now, the case against Letitia James is dismissed too, same rationale but minus the statute of limitations complication.

So, the USA sends $billions to Israel every year for “military aid” to be used to kill any Palestinian they wish.
Then in return their AIPAC sends $58 million back to pay off USA Congress

🧵 Across the world, democracy isn’t just under pressure, it’s facing epistemic collapse: a breakdown in the shared ability to know what’s true, to reason together and to hold power to account.
