I’m a life long liberal lawyer and while I don’t have a lot of faith in the court (I have no faith in Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch), I’ve gotten the impression from Roberts that he honestly cares about the legacy of the court. While I think when it comes to policy, we’ll see a lot of rubber stamping by the court, I…

They’ll never turn on him because they more or less agree with him. I mean he’s crass as heck and is obviously a moron, but the white supremacy and immiseration of the poor and savaging of the environment (and everything else) are all pretty standard fare for the modern GOP. And their voters are even worse, somehow.
I mean so long as our survival is predicated on Republicans doing something for the good of the country we are absolutely fucked. Trump won’t face any consequences because his fellow party members are just as evil as he is. (Just not as stupid. Except Louie Gohmert.)
The reason why they’re focusing on the renewal of the warrant is because Rosenstein was the one who signed off on it. The entire point of the memo is to force Rosenstein out with cause so that Trump can install a crony to oversee (read: smother/de-fund) the Mueller investigation.
AND the republicans so called “smoking gun” is the claim that it was not included in the FISA application that the Dossier was paid for by Clinton BUT what they fail to admit is that the Dossier was identified as opposition research from an anti-Trump organization. So while the GOP thinks they have a smoking gun; what…
Are you joking? It is a pretext to fire Rod Rosenstein (who is the one who signed off in the FICA warrant extension for Carter Page); replace him with a Trump loyalist who will in turn fire Mueller; or at the very least impede and limit Mueller’s investigation and report back to the White House every single piece of…
Not only that, but one of the explicitly sanctioned Russian figures actually visited Trump’s intelligence directors in DC last week. So yay for the crisis already being upon us?
I thinkm if you can hear the dog whistle behind “Unlawful Enemy Combatants” and “We have to be able to detain and question them”... Why does it have to be Gitmo? You know why, US laws and norms don’t apply.
The POTUS came out last night and made torture an explicit American policy. And no one in the media noticed. I…
These right wing “tough guys” always run for ma-ma when you ask them the simplest questions about what they believe.
This is what Trump means by a “desirable Norwegian”, isn’t it?
Christ probably thinks you’re a real asshole, Tennys.

I’m going to question the mental acuity of anyone that votes for Manning with a similar prejudice as a Trump voter.
It’s relevant, there are a lot of comments on this topic, and you’re kind of doing a public service given that a) a lot of people don’t know about that report and b) ordinary citizens should be doing a whole lot more to get their Representatives and Senators to get off their collective butts and deal with Zuckerberg…
