        at this point if Rs complain about some made up bullshit that should be a given that we go ahead and use it against them because they’re gonna believe it’s being done anyway, and they’ll go right ahead and do it when they’re in power

      These people spent years mewling about “lawfare”. Just like they bitched about “free speech”, “cancel culture” and “making comedy legal again”.

      And what do they do the minute they get (more) power? They start up with tons of legal action against virtually every facet of society. They worked to actually cancel comedy.

      It’s tactical. The idea is that if you convince your supporters that your enemies are breaking the rules and getting away with it that your supporters will cheer you punishing those enemies by breaking those same rules.

      It’s just like in sports. People get upset when the refs punish their team for what they perceive the other team getting away with.

    That’s nice, but what about Epstein and the fact that the current president is a pedophile rapist?

    What’s that sort of government you get when you prosecute political enemies for doing completely legal and ethical work that just so happens to undermine your position of power?

    Oh right, Authoritarianism. Tyranny, monarchy, fascism, it’s almost like these all have a problem in common.

    Let’s see… 2025-2016 = past the statute of limitations. So, more attempted distractions from the EPSTEIN PEDO FILES.

      Atlanta journalist fights deportation from Ice jail despite dropped charges: ‘I’m seeing what absolute power can do’

      Statute of Limitations isn’t going to save you from a fascist pogrom.

    Why does she want to cosplay as Cruella De Vil with that hair? I guess she is a puppy murderer like Kristi Noem.

      Do you think it’s natural or does she use dye? Like grey dye for the strip or black dye for the rest of her hair.

    Wouldn’t this sort of shit have run the clock on statue of limitations, even if it wasn’t pulled out of someone’s ass? Even the people trying to prosecute the fake electors from 2021 were running into that problem and those were actual criminals producing actual evidence of their crimes.

      lol, there’s an even bigger problem. Presidents have presumptive immunity per SCOTUS.

      Even pretending anything is true, Obama gets away with it.
