I read Kate Riley's Ruth this week. Fascinated me & made me laugh both the fictional account of anabaptist communities in our times & the acerbic comments of her characters. I appreciate the usefulness of the conclusion for an author. Still, I didn't see a thread leading to it. #Booksky #RuthANovel

Everyday Americans get nickel and dimed while the rich dodge taxes.
They struggle to get by while the wealth of the 1% skyrockets.
They see their voices drowned out while the well-connected avoid accountability.
There are two sets of rules in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

So when I call Donald Trump convicted felon Donald Trump, that’s really an homage to Todd Blanche.

Ahem. It's the job of the President to appoint DAs - with advice and consent from the Senate.
The President can ignore that rule - but only once (per district) and only for 120 days.
Do you know who appoints DAs after the 120 day mark has passed?
Pam Bondi doesn't. Because it's the judiciary.
