The charges dismissed with prejudice. At some point will there be professional disciplinary action for the MAGA Regime lawyers on this case?

“It’s not about free speech or fighting cancel culture or any of the other fig leaves being used to justify this. It’s about a woman who called a 5-year-old autistic child a racial slur, doubled down when confronted, and is now being rewarded with more money than many Americans will see in a decade.”

@WarnerCrocker

Isolating the corrupt, convicted felon in chief on an island does have some appeal.

Long overdue to abolish the death penalty.

Hitler’s Terrible Tariffs
By seeking to “liberate” Germans from a globalized world order, the Nazi government sent the national economy careening backwards—and drove up the price of eggs 600 percent.
By Timothy W. Ryback, The Atlantic, 2025-04-20

“Hitler’s trade war with his neighbors would prove to be but a prelude to his shooting war with the world.”

What If China Wins the Trade War?
By Rogé Karma, The Atlantic, 2025-04-20

“If donald trump were trying to lose his trade war with China, it’s hard to see what he would be doing differently. The president’s gambit is likely to strengthen China’s geopolitical position, embolden Beijing militarily, and diminish both the United States’ global standing and its economy.”

@RealJournalism

Calling the Trump insurrection on 2021-01-06 a "rally" is the perfect example of gaslighting.

@inthehands

Thank you. I should have written 5,700 percent "of"; I agree with 5,600 percent "more." The risk of vague expression.

@inthehands

57 times equals a mere 5,700 percent, correct? Statistics can be so much fun.

@br00t4c
Easy to say. Not likely without destroying the quality of medical care and education. More likely that there will be a proliferation of tools that could be used by medical professionals and teachers. With some luck and a lot of work some of the tools might even be helpful.

@br00t4c
Projection.

@br00t4c Never forgiven Eagles fans for carrying around in January 2018 a sign saying "F*** Millie," referring to then 99-year-old Vikings fan Millie Wall. What kind of monsters would treat Millie that way?
