Dear legal observers: don’t “worry,” state the bloody obvious clearly. The House GOP has abused the most serious tool the U.S. Constitution provides to carry out a purely partisan attack.

Additional_Pruneto News•Ted Cruz wants lawmakers to get security escorts through America’s airports24·1 year ago“Lucifer in the flesh”–Ted’s fellow Republican John Boehner. As Cruz’s former college roommate, Craig Mazin, once put it, “One thing Ted Cruz is really good at: uniting people who otherwise disagree about everything else in a total hatred of Ted Cruz.” George W. Bush: “I just don’t like the guy.” Bob Dole: “I don’t know how he’s going to deal with Congress. Nobody likes him.” John Boehner: “I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.” Lindsey Graham: “If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you.”

As long as Trump can pay his lawyers (or Trump’s friends can pay), expect stuff like this to happen. Those who can afford it get a different level of justice. See, e.g., Paxton in Texas. Compare that with all the poor saps who can’t make bail and get locked up pending trial with only an overworked PD to help them.

Additional_Pruneto News•Oregon weekly newspaper lays off entire staff after discovering a former employee had embezzled $90,000 and left bills unpaid2·1 year agoMy dad worked for a major bank. Sometimes when an employee stole money from the bank, it made the news. Other times, the bank kept quiet about it.

Additional_Pruneto politics •A running list of politicians talking about making divorce harder | On the right, there is a renewed push to enshrine family values by pushing against no-fault divorce laws.11·1 year agoAs someone who went through a no-fault divorce, I can say the process is difficult and expensive enough already. It is definitely not easy, and it is not as easy as changing your underwear, contrary to what some right wing liar may tell you. And as the article points out, no-fault divorce has been of enormous benefit to women. Ending no-fault divorce is about controlling and dominating women, full stop.

If Trump gets elected, expect Project 2025 to come to fruition.
