Transplanted New Yorker and big LSU football fan living in Baton Rouge after living in Africa and Latin America working for the USG. Retired and fed up with 47 and his gang of thieves - fun being a blue dot in a red state....now and then! No DMS.
It was over for Max Miller politically when he said his wife couldn’t have been abused because she offered to make him dinner 6 days later. He may not have known it when he said it, but that was the end. You have to be a sick bastard to come up with that as your defense.
An unqualified Trump lackey gives a completely unqualified and understaffed firm with a no bid contract. Due process seems to be dead even with children.

None of the Burke Law Group’s lawyers list immigration law as an area of expertise, per the firm’s website.

Clearly irony is not something that Trump understands. Giving oil companies a hard time because they made too much money even though he’s taking billions from the presidency and it’s completely utterly corrupt!
Trump accuses oil companies of ‘making too much money’ from his war on Iran

ProPublica@propublica.org · 2d agoAn $11,000 golf cart. More than $7,000 on TV subscriptions. $1.5 million in office renovations. Those were among the expenses that one sheriff’s office billed to a settlement aimed at rooting out racial profiling in the department. (Published May)
U.S. Plan Is Said to Pull a Third of Fighter Jets It Provides NATO for Europe and this is being done on the anniversary of D-Day. But honestly do we really think that 47 knows it’s the anniversary of D-Day?
U.S. Plan Is Said to Pull a Third of Fighter Jets It Provides NATO for Europe

Amount of time some of these GOP senators developed a spine even if it’s because they’re leaving. Trump will probably give up Blanche rather than give up on his deal since he knows how crooked he is and he doesn’t want IRS to know it either

Erin aka Bippy in Alaska@itsbippy.bsky.social · last wk.🚨 U.S. Senator “Ohio” Dan Sullivan showing up to Mountain City Baptist Church (Anchorage Baptist Temple) — the most right-wing, cop-loving pulpit in Anchorage — and standing feet away from a Confederate battle flag like it’s just part of the decor. Normally this would be disqualifying. 
“Tow the line” Their unpleasant entitlement is only exceeded by their stupidity.
