I think so. I’m not sure. This could be very good news.

Wow. She was waiting for the Supreme Court. But he wasn’t president when he wouldn’t give them back when he was told to do that!!!

Facial and scalp lacerations bleed like all get-out. My guess is he got a nick from a plexiglass fragment, and his ‘wounds’ don’t amount to much. But he could wrap the top of his head in gauze, which would save hours of hair-construction work.

She does seem rather proud of her obvious corruption and absolute devotion to a twisted personality. She’s nothing more than a scotus enabled fangirl of TSF and she happens to have been appointed to a powerful position. High fives all around at the Federalist Society and the perverted scotus.

How did the kid know to look for a ladder at a facitity close? Even if he scoped it out days before, how could he know the SS would leave it open?

Otherwise what was the plan?

Too weird

Haha! I thought about him with his wounded ear. I wonder what it’s done to his psyche.

CNN is saying it too.

Judge Aileen Cannon has dismissed the classified documents case against Donald Trump.

In a ruling Monday, Cannon said the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith violated the Constitution.

“In the end, it seems the Executive’s growing comfort in appointing ‘regulatory’ special counsels in the more recent era has followed an ad hoc pattern with little judicial scrutiny,” Cannon wrote.

1 - I will defer to the legal professionals on this, but I don’t think jeopardy has attached yet, so the charges can be filed again. And the case will likely land with a different judge.

Yep. Follow the logic there, if you don’t know what a mote is you don’t need to worry about your own glaring hypocrisy. It’s kind of troubling, how can you be a strict Biblical literalist if you have words you don’t actually understand.

So Clinton shouldn’t have been investigated by a special counsel either, I guess.

The GQP hypocrisy is breathtaking.
Classrooms full of blown apart kids - thoughts and prayers/crisis actors
378 LEO sat around at Ulvade with their thumbs up their collective ass - nothing to see here, move along, no Congressional inquiry
Gabby Gifford Steve Scalise - watering the tree of liberty
Donald van Gogh - OMFG the sky is falling ?!?1??!1 Congressional inquiry as to why the high school grads let this happen.
The most ironic thing is that if the shooter used a real hunting rifle rather than their totemic fetish item of an AR-15, we’d be in a very different place this morning.

Or Hunter. Of course, Goopers will proclaim “that’s different.”

And Frank Luntz can shut the fuck up.

No, the still photos and video show both teleprompters undamaged after he was tackled, and there was no plexiglass barrier. I wouldn’t minimize the wound. It was “just” his ear, but one inch to the right with the bullet trajectory and the way he was facing, and he would be dead
.

Yeah, but it wasnt one inch to the right. It was a close call but he isnt seriously hurt.

But he isn’t. So enough, please.

Unfortunately, it won’t lead to better gun regulation either, so the attempt misses the mark in a more important way.
