There are 3000 counties in US and ~500 of them are blue. They house half the population and generate 72% of American wealth. They are the hubs for innovation and economic activity. If you want to live in a backwater, that’s fine, but drop the piety.

This right here could cause Cannon to link Vol II to Vol I. My bet is she grants Nauta and DeOliveira the extension on the 3 day injunction and bars both volumes from being released based on this reference to Vol II in Vol I.
The DOJ does state that there are two references to “the Classified Documents” case in Vol. 1, but they don’t refer to or deal with Nauta and De Oliveira.

Re-upping this. If you happen to know how to get a hold of Biden, could you let him know?
Dear Joe,
I know it feels really wrong to order your AG to release a Special Counsel report because that’s been a bad thing to do for so long. But the Supreme Court says it’s okay now. It’s legal. It’s an official act.
So go ahead, Mr. President. It’s normal now.

mine will always be the sperm whale who reacted to a Roman soldier throwing a bottle at him off the Byzantine coast by sinking every ship he could off that coast for the next 60 years and had the emperor declare him an enemy of the state and name him after the Titan who attacked mount olympus
About once a week I think fondly of my personal icon, the elephant who trampled a woman and then came back later to trample her some more at her funeral.
conversation I had with a ranger at Corbett National Tiger Reserve
me: whats the most dangerous animal in the jungle? Tiger?
him: elephant
me: what about in the water
him: elephant
me: you don't understand, I mean aquatic animal
him: no you don't understand, don't fuck with elephant
