President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Same. No one ever recognizes I'm from the South until I get a couple of cocktails in me.

 

That's weird. The drunker I get the more Scottish I sound.

 

Christopher Kise, when hired by Trump, took a $3m retainer up front. He advised Trump to simply return the document, as he was sure that if they were the charges would be dropped. Trump listened to other people and refused. Kise resigned, took his $3m and left.

He looks like a smart attorney to me.

I just found out that Kise is the local lawyer who appeared at Trump's arraignment. Bet that felt sweet.

 

Never heard of Kise until about 48 hours ago, but Kise is the smartest lawyer to represent Twitchy yet.

He took his money up front.

 

Someone smarter than me please tell me how and why so-called Constitutional originalists like to bypass not only U.S. precedent, but the freaking original Constitution, and go back hundreds of more years to cases and scholars in British law to justify their decisions.

 

"Originalists" really want to hark back to the 10 Commandments, or alternatively the Book of Leviticus.

 

It just screams to me whenever they do it, "Oh, so you're not even going to try to hide what a phony you are."

 

I can have an informed conversation with farmers on the feed loading dock at the Co-Op or with New York art dealers. I've done it.
Several years ago I complimented our band director on a piece of music the kids had played.
"You not only know the piece but the movement? But, but, but... you're a sports guy!"
"Yes. I'm a well-educated sports guy."

 

As the saying goes, my customer service voice went to Harvard.

 

Jack Teixeira, alleged classified documents leaker, indicted by federal grand jury

 

Like Snowden and Winner, Jack's biggest mistake was not booking a villa in Quito before hitting Send.

 

"Republicans want Trump’s rivals to face at least the same level of legal disgrace as he does. But their demand for equality of outcome is impossible in the context of a system that applies the law fairly. Trump is going to have worse legal outcomes than normal politicians or FBI staffers do, because they’re not crooks and he is. Tearing down judicial neutrality, and turning the whole machine into a nakedly partisan mechanism, is Republicans’ resolution to this unbearably humiliating state of affairs."
