You're underselling this. Yes, it could make mail voting more difficult for everyone. More likely, it'll allow Trump to corrupt the process of transporting and counting ballots.

Why play fairly when he can cheat?

Maybe you could resurrect it on Bluesky? I'm sure there's a suggestion box button around here somewhere.

This is the kind of post which sent me looking for your tip jar (or whatever it was called) on Twitter a few years ago, but I couldn't find the button.

Peter Alexander @nbcnews.com deserves a Medal of the Week for his questions about Trump's pardons.

Suggestion: reporters should ask the questions prosecutors have been prevented from asking in the now-dismissed cases.

Those questions are more important than ever.

Reporters need to learn to question people more effectively on those transgressions. Peter Alexander @nbcnews.com did an excellent job of it this week. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

He's degrading the office he holds with his money grubbing. He's a public servant and should act like one.

He's kind of a menace, tbh. 😼

We've had indoor cats only. They're just safer inside. Never had one hit by a car or eaten by a coyote. Never had one bring dead rats inside the house. 🤮

Trump had a perfectly good reason for skipping Biden's inauguration: he was too busy stealing sensitive government documents and didn't have time to go.

He's an extremely good boy.

Indoor cats live long lives. Indoor/Outdoor cats don't.

Politicians and reporters too often repeat the same questions in hopes of getting a different answer. They need to ask different questions in a different way to get to the truth.

Asking her the same question over and over again was a waste of time. They should've cited every case that Trump lost, asked her if she was familiar with them, and asked her why her client didn't respect the rulings and continued to lie about the election.

Identify court cases in which she represented Trump. Ask what the final decision was in each case.

"Did you accept the rulings of these courts?"

The crime was in continuing to ignore court rulings, lying about the evidence, and finding other questionable and illegal means to ignore the vote.

"Does a president have a right to declassify documents and take them for his own?"

"What was the president doing in the White House for three hours while the Capitol was under attack?"

"Is it legal for candidates to ask foreign governments for help in their campaigns?"

I applaud efforts to present questions for elected representatives and reporters, but sharp questioning often requires more bite than these.

In my experience, the best answers come when a witness is off balance. Short, sharp, penetrating questions do that.

I bet a sock full of quarters hurts more.

@barbmcquade.bsky.social The best time to start asking those questions was four years ago.

The next best time is tomorrow.

Talk to your friends in the press.

It's one of the most important cases in U.S. history.

Reporters need to ask the questions prosecutors have been prevented from asking him. They're more important than ever.
