What is it with well known celebrities and politicians "apologizing" for their interactions with a convicted sex offender, Jeffery Epstein? They are sorry that they are caught. Hypocrites, one and all. They are a "sorry" bunch.

"In a system where acquittals are statistical outliers, experts say the federal public defender’s office’s recent wins raise questions about prosecutorial decision-making and the credibility of cases being brought."

Yep.
ALL of this.
1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

I don’t consider the Bill of Rights “unrealistic.”
Here's what Republicans think is "unrealistic"

1) Need a judicial warrant to enter private property
2) Require verification that someone is not a US citizen before sending them to immigration detention
3) No masks
4) No secret police: Officers must have ID
5) Keep enforcement away from
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Thursday that demands made by Democrats for new restrictions on federal immigration officers are “unrealistic” and warned that the Department of Homeland Security will shut down next week if they do not work with Republicans and the White House.

When we run we win. Run the table.
A noteworthy takeaway from tonight's Texas result is that the Republicans spent a metric truckload of money on this race. They spent millions more than the Democrats. The loss itself aside, this is a gigantic, flashing warning sign for the GOP's finances.

If you turn away from what's happening and have ANY political power, you've made your choice.

You're supporting the killing and kidnapping of innocent people.

And people around the US -- and the world -- are bearing witness.
