I don’t doubt it. All I can do is joke about it, hence the reference to the name of Parnas’ business. You can’t make that up.

Since Scott is the only Black Republican senator, Jones noted that the lawmaker is often used as a pawn to do the party’s bidding when it comes to key topics that most Black people would likely disagree with.
“Scott and the phrase are a lot alike: unserious, deceitful, and deployed in service of the white conservative establishment,” Jones wrote. “For me, #KeepYoMoney epitomizes the new presidential candidate. Seriously, I hardly refer to him as Tim Scott in conversation anymore. To me, he’ll always be Senator #KeepYoMoney of South Carolina.”

The man that rode in with the chaos he spawned! He has neither self awareness, shame, nor any sense of irony. He is intellectually dead and a rotting corpse of corruption.

I’m struggling here was that Divorce D’Spousa? I’m always pleased to see the “moral decline” folks deciding to get together with their paramour.

This morning’s notes on Supreme Court reporting got my attention. If these highly trained lawyers who went to the finest schools and have had years of experience cannot agree about what the law is. Then their opinions are based on ideology and not worthy of the reverence we give them.

The RW can’t exist without the firepower of a fully armed and operational Death Star Battle Station!
I have been saying recently that CNN is auditioning for the part. RW knows if FOX is miraculously toppled they MUST have another at the ready. If FOX miraculously does NOT implode, then having a 2nd or newly ascendant CNN (that doesn’t have to worry about Mercurial & Morbid Murdochs) is a solid play.

“Back in 2017, as Republicans controlled the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives, they trotted out Scott to try to sell Americans on their regressive tax plan that immensely favored rich people,” Jones wrote.
He added, “Someone seems to have had the brilliant idea for Scott to appear in a promotional video for Senate Republicans — and for him to deploy a catchy hashtag to misleadingly tout the tax plan as beneficial to nonwealthy Americans.”

My mistake - got the DeJoy dates wrong. I still think DeSantis’ and Scott’s wins were pretty sketchy.

Here in St. Louis City and County we decided to tax the residents of the city and county to help pay for the St. Louis Art Museum, the Zoo, and other institutions. So if you visit StL then admission is free. If there’s a special exhibit then you’ll pay to see that.
So come on down and see us, ya’ll.

Dozens of legal analyses, court rulings and DOJ policy memos explore and define (or try to) precisely how law enforcement and the courts can or should proceed with all the phases of handling the investigation, indictment and trial of a candidate for office, and more specifically a sitting President. Everything I read seems to agree the policy of leaving alone (at least publicly) a candidate for office is technically just an agreement, not a law.
9-85.500 Actions that May Have an Impact on an Election
Federal prosecutors and agents may never select the timing of any action, including investigative steps, criminal charge, or statements, for the purpose of affecting any election, or for the purpose of giving an advantage or disadvantage to any candidate or political party. Such a purpose is inconsistent with the Department’s mission and with the Principles of Federal Prosecution. See § 9-27.260. Any action likely to raise an issue or the perception of an issue under this provision requires consultation with the Public Integrity Section, and such action shall not be taken if the Public Integrity Section advises that further consultation is required with the Deputy Attorney General or Attorney General.
That statute above is about as specific as it gets. The “60 Day Rule” we all hear about, the timeframe when the DOJ or other authorities are supposed to keep mum about whatever they’re doing, or plan to do, about an investigation involving a candidate for office is just a policy, it’s not a law. Policies can be broken or ignored if someone in power, like the Attorney General, decides it’s in the national interest, or in the pursuit of justice.
I bring this up because it’s going to become very pertinent as we near the 2024 election. Trump is going to be clamoring for the DOJ, various courts and AGs, DAs, etc to shut down their activities. And what Trump demands means shortly thereafter a great many in Congress will demand the same. There will be a LARGE and powerful contingent of people insisting the campaign season is being polluted with all the legal efforts to hold Trump to account, and it’ll be very interesting to see just how much anyone truly backs off until the election is over. Many of Trump’s legal issues are not going to be resolved by Labor Day, 2024, 60 days before the election. And most of what is supposed to be suspended involves investigations, or public release of information. What the hell is a judge supposed to do if an actual trial is going on 2 months before the election? Shut it down? Keep it going, while banning press coverage, and sequester the jury? What if Trump is elected, while also found guilty at a trial? The laws and policies deal with how to handle a sitting President. Are the courts bound to leave alone a President-elect?
It’s all going to be a contentious, litigious mess for sure.

What fatuous twaddle. It’s an adversarial court system. Disagreement over the law is baked into the system. Just the other day, Sotomayor and Kagan were throwing bombs at each other over Andy Warhol silkscreens.

That was more important to the GOP so they selected people who would represent their ideology on the court.
We should always be cautious with our reverence.
