I suspect that is a major factor of what I call the Churn Factor in life. We used to blame red tape, another factor in the mix. I see it in the consolidation of businesses such a doctor’s offices or veterinarians under a single umbrella entity. Usually what had been a business you dealt with directly, on the phone, requires appointments made under a shared web site, calls are routed through a central series of common numbers, messages are left at the web site and the customer experience has at least one more step before actually talking with someone who might be 5 minutes away physically. If you are not told to leave a voice mail message or text because the call volume is so high. On any day. You have had to create an account you never had before. Meaning more marketing opportunities for some one. And the actual quality of the web site is poor and seldom is corrected.
Biden chose to bring a knife to a gunfight when he chose Merrick Garland as AG. His naivety that he would unite the country with a milquetoast chief law enforcement let Trump get away with insurrection, and quite possibly treason in the classified documents case.
Majority of blame sits in judge Cannon’s lap. She saw the FBI images of classified docs on tsf’s Florida office floor. She knew about his refusal to return said docs. Evidence of his guilt was huge. So she threw the case out because Jack Smith had not been voted on by the Senate. Special Prosecutors are appointed by the AG and not (and never have been) approved by the Senate. Canon’s reasoning is BULLSHIT front to back. Also this case concerns trump as a private citizen and not one in high office so presidential immunity does not apply.
In doing so, he will hurt all the people in the world. There is no national economy, only a world economy. Ditto the environment, and oh yeah, the human race. I think it would make him happy if he were capable of being happy.
I don’ see another nation capable of saving us. I do see several nations that are entirely capable of exploiting the chaos TSF generates.
What he is doing is wrong. Not because it is against the law, but because it hurts people.
Speaking of DOJ – Christopher Fonzone was appointed the OLC head (Assistant Attorney General) in January 2024, by Biden. He was formerly (2021-2023) general counsel to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Other than that, who is this guy, other than one more soon-to-be unemployed lawyer?
The Berkshire Eagle ran an obituary for Alice Brock among the other obits in today’s paper. (They ran a huge spread on her last Friday.) Some of you may enjoy reading it. Btw, she died in Wellfleet because she was in a hospice there.
Isn’t it time to get creative at the swearing in? I’m remembering how the Chinese protesters left broken bottles on the ground after Tiananmen Square (“little bottle” - being a word close to Xiaoping).
Don’t want to get anyone hurt (as I would imagine would happen if protestors in mass show up with handheld signs, etc.). Can’t images of January 6th be projected onto the buildings along the route? Can’t citizens all dressed on one color (thinking of the pink of 2017) just line the route and turn their backs on the motorcade?
Yes, but slashing (not just cutting a bit here and there, but slashing) federal funds going to a CA or MA will hurt the state’s economy and result in a decrease in federal taxes collected from the state.
