Jailing your political opponents for campaigning is something you only pull when you’ve fully captured the government and courts and fear no real consequence - which the GOP in Texas has done

Ken Paxton asks judge to jail Beto O’Rourke for fundraising Texas Dems' walkout
Paxton sued O’Rourke and his political group, Powered by People, last week, arguing that the group was deceptively fundraising for and illegally supporting Texas Democrats’ walkout.

The Attorney General is so unserious.
If you’re a prosecutor who is serious about obtaining a conviction, you don’t go on Fox and talk about the (alleged) facts of the case like this.
Has Bondi read the Justice Manual? Has Bondi heard of pretrial publicity motions? How about bar ethics rules?

I have lived in US under leadership so 'realpolitik'-minded that it became amoral. (From LBJ-Nixon on Vietnam, to Mitch McConnell.)
Under leaders who made disastrous misjudgments. (Crowned by Bush-Cheney Iraq War.)
Under leaders whose values I thought wrong.
But never before by nuts and clowns.

Stray Cats' Brian Setzer has announced that due to an auto-immune disease he is no longer able to play the guitar. He's receiving treatment @ the Mayo Clinic. Best wishes to him! On a side note: He kissed me full on the lips while I was getting his autograph @ Summerfest in Milwaukee circa 1988. 💋

Forget the allies … the real dilemma is to what extent U.S. Intel apparatus will feel compelled to reveal deepest darkest Intel to known security risks like … you know.
This is a little off the beaten path, but we're due for a conversation about whether U.S. allies are going to curtail intelligence sharing with us once Trump is back in the White House. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
Will U.S. allies curtail intelligence sharing in Trump’s second term?
New reporting suggests foreign intelligence officials are taking steps to “limit how much sensitive intelligence they share with the Trump administration.”
