Deadlines? What Deadlines? Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Not going to gloat. But I have zero sympathy for HCA winners, for reasons I've explained before (in another thread, long ago). In addition, The Diamond and Silk duo did more than their share to lower the level of political discourse in the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right wing folks will do a false equivalency thing, the left-wing folks will push back pointing to Trump's obstruction/lies showing malicious intent and failure to cooperate. The litmus test here is how it affects Jack Smith decision to indict/not indict. To be fair, both do appear to have had at least some "top secret" documents. He in turn will be thinking of a jury vulnerable to whataboutism, credible claims about shortcomings in NARA procedure, tangentially relevant but plausible statements of over-classification, and with its share of MAGA-sympathizers/Republicans. So will it turn into a case against Biden? Almost certainly not, based on what is reported. But it may lead to a declination or an acquittal for Trump. The fact the DOJ has been so behind the curve/foot dragging on the Jan 6 stuff means that Smith is probably left with the Georgia investigation and the records. And, possibly, tax fraud although I think that totally meritorious case has gotten fucked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mlle. Zabzie Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Well, in case you were wandering around thinking that bipartisanship was totally dead, I am here to prove you wrong. A bipartisan group of 4 Senators just lobbed in an absolutely brutal letter to the bankruptcy court supporting the US trustee's motion to appoint an independent examiner in the FTX bankruptcy (denying S&C's retention request). https://subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2023/01/senators-take-aim-at-law-firms-role-in-ftx-bankruptcy-case-00077079 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMC Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Democrat appears to flip Virginia state Senate seat in closely watched special election: Quote Democrat Aaron Rouse appeared to clinch the special election for Virginia’s 7th state Senate district on Tuesday in yet another victory for his party, which was already riding high from a better-than-expected midterm election. The race was a nail-biter, with Rouse scraping by over Republican opponent Kevin Adams with less than 1 percent of the vote, according to unofficial election results. Still, the flip will be seen as a major win by the party and will expand its majority in the commonwealth’s state Senate. The split in the chamber will now stand at 22-18.

Jace, Extat Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 What was it, that the representative was reading? The Silent Art of Not Giving a Fuck ??? What bravery You silly-willies thought <through such exhibitive nonsense> you were being championed! Tell me, are the rich to be taxed yet or are we Not Giving a Fuck about that too? Long as we got the interest on some debts shifted around here in order to have lost at the midterms like slightly-less losing losers it'll all be good I'm sure.
