You’ve gotta be kidding me.

This WaPo editorial presents a misleading revisionist history of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s criminal cases against Trump.

Then it has the gall to compare that to Trump’s overt targeting of his perceived enemies.

Really embarrassing stuff.

But the mere fact that a legal tool might be available does not mean it should be used. The
current rage over Grassley's revelation shows why. Smith showed little restraint in his pursuit of a former president. He charged Trump for official acts he took as president. He sought a gag order to limit Trump's ability to criticize the prosecution. He tried to accelerate the case to try a leading presidential candidate before the 2024 election.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.

When you fondle the flag as you are wont to do, that’s what disgraces the flag.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

I think he’s referring to facts/truth. Yes, that does seem to be something that only liberals believe in.

ume2025.bsky.social @ume2025.bsky.social · 8h

Exactly. Another thing the Dems have to fix when they are back in power. The pardon. I thought it was supposed to go through a committee but there seem to be no challenges to the felon handing them out Willy-nilly to those who protect him and for $.

Maybe MTG can move to vacate the Speaker of the House, vote with Democrats to get Johnson out. If she wants to get to the bottom of the Epstein files, Johnson needs to go.
