Whether it’s Joe Biden attending weekly mass or Donald Trump’s ICE agents shooting a priest in the face with a pepper ball, presidents of both sides have directly engaged with the Catholic faith.

I'm never going to make a deadline again, I turn off my phone for 5 hours to try to get work done and turns out all the worst people in the world had an Antifa Press Conference where they are openly broadcasting their intent to murder and imprison dissidents

Do I have that about right?

I spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Good people will be deterred from public service if they see a meaningful risk of winding up in jail afterward.

Read this thread for a frankly breathtaking example of the utter garbage you get when Techbrahs try their hand at law.

Although if you say "I have an issue that's important to me, huh, I guess I will try Vibe Lawyering," I am basically ok with whatever happens to you.

The bros are at it again! and make no mistake, they are LITERALLY calling it "Vibe Lawyering"

It's interesting that Bondi can release records of former special counsel Jack Smith, but can't release the Epstein files. It's interesting how Bondi can indict Comey for a "supposed" lie, but not indict Homan for taking $50,000. DISBAR BONDI!

/9 And you think ANTIFA is a progressive employer? Please. The health insurance sucks. There's no dental. And when I asked for compassionate leave for a relative's funeral HR said "the family serves as a pillar for bourgeois ideology, half-day only"

Honestly it's a bit of a relief. Let me tell you: being GC of Antifa is not a picnic. I had to do a sexual harassment prevention training the other day and it did NOT go well.

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks:
