Good.

 

GOP Sen. Markwayne Mullin sparks laughter with ‘I don’t want reality’ comment at hearing

I think it’s more sinister than that. I think Biden has struck a deal not to prosecute in exchange for some unknown favor. Involving Hunter? Involving himself? I dunno.

 

Oh, please. Joe Biden struck a deal because since he entered the Senate shortly after the conclusion of the Spanish-American War, it has been how he has always operated politically. It's how he believes with all his heart politics should work. Is this always the optimal strategy? Surely not. But it's always his Plan A, and this time, it worked as well as he could've expected.

 

I'm not talking about the debt ceiling, I'm talking about Garland slow-rolling everything.

 

Is it a slow roll or is it careful prosecutors building what they hope/expect to be airtight cases? Just as much evidence to support the latter thesis. Maybe more.

 

So either he sold it to the Saudis or it's great evidence of exactly how sloppy Trump is with classified material.

Or perhaps that he is *still* willfully retaining documents.

 

DoJ will indict when their case is ready.

 

I'm not usually one for speculation or conspiracy theories, but part of me wonders if this tape about the Iran doc and the inability to find it might be an orchestrated leak to suggest, "Hey y'all, THIS is how fucking serious all of this is. And it's coming. This is why."

And anybody who stays on board supporting him, here's your last exit before indictment.

 

The entire Alternate Facts Republican Party in a nutshell:

 

"Airtight" to one is and will always be "witch hunt" to another.

You think maybe if the O.J. prosecution would have had just a little MORE evidence --- a more airtight case, something a little better than "the chances that this blood belongs to anyone other than Simpson are 1 in 170,000,000" --- THEN the jury would have convicted?

Every day closer to November 2024 is another step toward "You're just weaponizing the Justice Department to take out an opposing candidate!!!" which is exactly what we believe when it happens in another country to a candidate we happen to support.
