We had many fatal plane crashes in decades past when hiring practices favored white men. This DC accident is the 1st fatal U.S. commercial air crash in 16 years. That hardly suggests fairness in hiring is a problem. Quite the opposite. Trump is using a tragedy to push his racist, sexist message.

I have news for you. The courts are not going to be a feasible way of stopping Trump from carrying out the things he’s going to do. Trump is moving so fast, with so much….and the courts are too fucking slow to keep up.

You don’t need to have clerked for a SCOTUS justice to figure this out.

What could go wrong 🤷‍♀️
very excited to see what happens when you make a deeply compromised addict the leader of the department of defense and subordinate to a madman

What perhaps even more disappointing is that Utah has a high number of active and retired military, lots of whom have family who fought in WWII. You’d think they would know better.
In news we could have guessed - Leaked docs reveal Utah law enforcement ties to far-right Oath Keepers. When extremism meets authority, it’s a dangerous mix. Need another reason to rethink Utah? This might be it.

Don't let Donald Trump extending the TikTok ban distract you from the fact that his Administration is about to conduct mass deportations across America in a matter of days.

Welp.
Also all y’all out there saying he banned it just so he could be the one to “bring it back” - you were right.

It’s been their playbook for decades, if not longer.
This TikTok scam by Trump is really something. In a few days, we will be hearing from Trump about how he “saved Tik Tok” & “brought it back.” He literally created the problem by calling for a ban. Rs pass a law. It gets banned. It goes dark for a day or 2, then Trump “saves” it.

It took Merrick Garland 2.5 years to indict Donald Trump, and he was never even detained.

It took South Korea 1 month.

Yoon Suk Yeol, who is facing insurrection charges after his effort to impose martial law last month, becomes the first South Korean president to be detained while in office.

More utterly meaningless drivel from WaPo. They had 4 fkn years to prosecute and chose not to. Such bs.
If Donald Trump hadn’t won the presidential election in November, the Justice Department would have had ample evidence to convict him at trial of trying to obstruct the 2020 election results, special counsel Jack Smith said in a report released Tuesday.
