It's always Coeur d'Alene, aka "Mecca for White Supremacists and Nazis."

Seems like this could have easily been avoided by just not having him on their show.

I mean, you're not wrong, but creating this sort of furor is exactly the point of television. More eyeballs and such.

He doesn't want to pardon Stone. He wants Bill Barr Satan Jowls to find a way to drop the case entirely, just like United States v. Flynn.

https://twitter.com/SalehaMohsin/status/1268583254967402499 Saleha Mohsin @SalehaMohsin Trump has summoned top political advisers including his re-election campaign manager, Brad Parscale, for a White House meeting as his political standing erodes in key battleground states, @JenniferJJacobs and @J...

Lots of noise going around about Esper being on the verge of being fired. Can't tell yet how much is signal. The reason being given is that Esper dared distance himself from Trump earlier this week.

I'm actually more understanding of Mattis' quandary than a lot of people, I think. He doesn't want to come off like McArthur or Burt Lancaster's General James Mattoon Scott in the underrated film Seven Days in May. The ability of a man with stars on his shoulders and medals on his chest to overawe t...

The notion that Miley and Esper did not know what was going to happen strains credulity past the breaking point. They are both either massive liars or utterly asleep at the switch. My money is on "massive liars."

It gives me no pleasure to take issue with Sterngard, someone I hold in the highest esteem. However, I took a break from Fogbow for the last week because I was so angry at this glib response to my anxieties about the potential for unrest: FRP - the sky has been falling for you for months. Trump and ...

Well, I know when to show myself out.

Mrs. FRP were driving yesterday and went past a house with a sign that looked (quality-wise) like official Trump campaign material. It was a huge banner that read: "TRUMP 2020: NO MORE BULLSHIT" Admittedly, it was in a heavily Republican suburban neighborhood, and the person probably could have paid...

I wonder if this isn't a way to encourage Pompeo to run for that KS Senate seat. McConnell and Trump have been pressuring him to do it, and he's refused. Making the coronavirus response his department's bailiwick (and thus his cross to bear if things don't go exactly right - crushing his 2024 dreams...

One shudders to think what Trump's portrait will even look like.

Question for Fierce Panda... does Wisconsin require an attorney on appeals? IIRC, some states do. No. Pro se appeals are a thing, but they basically never happen once people find out you have to pony up for the transcripts of the entire record of the proceedings at the trial court level. As a judge...

That post defies parody, and actually makes me wonder if Mitchell isn't a Poe. Poe's Law states that any sincere expression of fundamentalism (or any extreme view, really) is indistinguishable from parody. This is my new textbook example. Claiming Trump was sent by God with second-sight, but then de...

As a militant atheist, I'm half tempted to found the Militant Unbelievers Freedom Front (MUFF) now.

Forum shopping? In a SLAPP defamation suit? I'm shocked - shocked - to see that there is gambling in this establishment. Forum shopping has been the entire name of the game with these kinds of actions for years, and will continue to be until states and the Federal courts all get on the same page wit...

I actually don't know Attorney Provis, but I'll ask my buddy the criminal appeals specialist the next time we chat if he knows the guy. His website does not inspire confidence.

Ramzan Kadyrov, the murderous madman (and Putin ally) running Chechnya, appears to have it.

Should he succumb, he will not be missed except by his fellow authoritarians and killers.

No. I disagree. Biden will have lots of nominations. If the Dems have control of the Senate they'll be approved quickly because they won't be unqualified. Every Republican knew how to game the system when Obama was in office. Bring your suit in a district within the Fifth Circuit, preferably the Ea...

Trump has captured the Judiciary. Even if Biden wins, we're fucked.

Just my two cents.

If the entire Senate GOP caucus gets COVID-19 because of today's luncheon, that wouldn't bother me at all.

Burr is chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. I'm guessing the FBI would not have sought, the DOJ would not have approved (especially under Bill Barr), and a court would not have signed such a warrant unless there were tons of probable cause. Considering the story has been out for a while t...

I'm an atheist. At this point, about the only thing that might convince me of the existence of a Higher Power would be if both Trump and Pence got infected and died from it. NADT, just an observation that IMO, if there was a god, especially a vengeful god, there truly would be consequences. Same.
