No DoJ with the slightest bit of integrity would ever do this... so, check is in the mail!

Direct looting of the public treasury.

It's amusing that people will believe unsubstantiated anything now.

This is behavior completely within Trump's wheelhouse.

Which he is currently admitting.

Trump is the Deep State. He is the swamp. It's amazing that people still support him

You never did find Iraq's WMD, but you're still sure they existed!

Ten bucks says you still believe the Gulf of Tonkin incident happened too. en.wikipedia.org

It's tiring that Trumper s%*^heaps keep acting like none of this is happening and that they've been wrong this entire time about nearly everything.

Interact with them.

Their sheer stupidity will make it all make sense in very short order.

How much is pedo 47 demanding for raping Katie Johnson?

That's true; I've seen the videos.

I've seen a video of trump saying he kisses women without consent and grabs them by the -----.
And another one of him bragging about bursting into teenage girls' dressing rooms to see them naked.

"Why is it that the biggest magats are always talking about dicks, butts, and ----?"

Closet cases gotta closet.

Probably the same reason Grindr gets overloaded every time Republicans gather.

Even Andrew Napolitano of Newsmax thinks it's ridiculous.

"This has never happened before. A president of the United States suing his own Justice Department for what he says a previous Justice Department did to him while he was a private citizen.

We don't have loser pays in the United States."

Is Fishmarket kaput? I see people responding to him, but I don't see his actual posts. And that's a real shame because he was brilliant and totally normal.

#30 | Posted by cbob at 2025-10-22 08:25 PM

This is one of the more bizarre Buffoon stunts. In normal times there is no way anyone in the Buffoon's DOJ could or would handle this case, a special prosecutor would be required. My hopes for normality are dim.

#31 | Posted by et_al at 2025-10-22 11:03 PM

Actually that would be special defense counsel. I'm not sure the law even allows that. No one ever ...

#32 | Posted by et_al at 2025-10-22 11:07 PM

@#31 ... My hopes for normality are dim. ...

Thank-you for chiming in.

I've missed your alias' erudite comments these past few days ....
