As a sidenote...

Can you imagine the hellfire in MAGA nation if every gun owner who takes drugs (and lied about it on their application) had their guns confiscated...or were jailed?

"Income tax evasion is a thing, but you already knew that."

Oh, I know that.

What I said was going to jail, after you've paid your back taxes, including all interest and penalties, after completing a rehab program, never results in jail.

And the charge of lying on a gun application is never brought, except as a companion charge of misusing the gun. Eric Holder said there wasn't a USA in the country who would bring that charge.

LAAWFARE.

Apologies: The first line in #132 should be in quotes.

So, you fully support an unlawfully obtained FISA warrant to spy on him because (D)

No, I fully support the fact it's stupid to believe we shouldn't surveil the guy, regardless of whatever letter pops up after the name.

Meanwhile, had they NOT surveilled and should have, you'd be excoriating every (D) you could find.

Again: only a moron, including those on the FISA court, could believe a American recruited as a Russian Asset shouldn't be surveilled.

Are you a moron?

"(Carter Page) was regarded as an asset by the CIA. "

And worthy of surveillance.

Just use the proper barometer: if he had a (D) after the name, and the FBI refused to surveil him, would your head have exploded?

Magic 8-ball says YES.

" info that would have likely implicated the big guy."

Republicans have been claiming that for years, and still not a single iota of proof. Even when they had the legal means to compel witnesses.

Carrying water is one thing, carrying water for a mirage is something else entirely.

"And your claim the Bragg case would be overturned on appeal? On what grounds?!?"

The question remains. unanswered.

" Aside by being taken aback by the scope of the pardon"

What a riot.

Bellringer was dead silent when Trump pardoned Bannon after Bannon ripped off Trump's own supporters.

He's also been dead silent when it comes to the fact Hunter,'s charges virtually never result in jail time. Folks who pay off their back taxes aren't thrown in jail. Folks who lied on the gun application are prosecuted, but it's rarely brought unless the gun was used to commit another crime.

The idea of jailing a guy for an isolated charge of lying on his gun application is obvious lawfare. As is the threat of jail for someone who paid his back taxes, with interest and penalties, after he completed a rehab program.

Anyone upset with Biden, while giving Trump a pass for pardoning folks like Bannon and Manafort, is a hack

" Lawfare extends way beyond Trump."

Regardless, it doesn't INCLUDE Trump. Which has been your pretense all along.

And your claim the Bragg case would be overturned on appeal? On what grounds?!?

Be specific; it can't just be because of your fee-fees.

" So you don't care when people are targeted for their political views"

Just because you still can't point to Trump's lawfare, you don't have to embarrass yourself.

You were tasked to show where Trump was a victim of your claimed lawfare. TOTAL FAIL.

" The feds? Pre dawn raid with the intent of imprisoning him for 11 years."

Are you referring to the Classified documents Trump lied about having, lied about returning, had his lawyers lie about returning, and had his underlings relocate to avoid detection, all while delaying for a year?!?

THAT poor victim? FFS, anyone else would be rotting in jail until the trial.

If your point is Trump was treated unfairly, you failed miserably.

" You all cheered saying on Carter Page."

... BECAUSE he told the FBI Russia was actively trying to recruit him.

Why do you always leave out the important part?

" The Alvin Bragg case was a joke"

Falsifying business records.

Bragg works out of a division that averages four FBR cases PER DAY.

In addition, investors got screwed compared to the rate Trump would've been charged had he told the truth.

The public also got screwed, since they had to make up what Trump's false statements cost the public till.

How is that case a joke? You claim fails.

As for the others, I have no idea nor do I care what you're referring to. The subject was lawfare against Trump, and I've proffered ample information to prove your silly claim wrong.

" numbers between 1,000 and 1,000,000"

10,000 isn't tens of thousands. Even by the examples given, the minimum would be 10,001. In this case, "between" isn't inclusive; for example, you wouldn't say "hundreds of thousands" for 1 million.

" Straw man much?"

On the contrary: an observation. Pointing out you carry water for anyone with an (R) after their name is obvious to anyone who can read.

(By the way, you obviously still don't understand what the word strawman means.)

" I've done it numerous times."

Then it should be easy to call one up. Because you've never done it when I've been around.

Go ahead. And if you don't, I'll keep pointing out to everyone you still haven't pointed to a single charge of Trump's, which you or I could do without fear of legal repercussions.

That's the barometer for lawfare. Post away.

" Unlike you, I do not support weaponizing the legal system."

You've had 100 chances to show a single case of lawfare against Trump, and failed every time. And when there was clear lawfare against Hunter Biden, you were silent.

I guarantee you'll be carrying water for Patel if he gets confirmed. Or his actions if he becomes the Deputy Director.

And pretending I support weaponizing the legal system?! You can stuff your projection up your arse.

101 chances now.

" Here's the thing. You are hyper-partisan ... "

Nonsense. I'll criticize any politician when they're wrong.

Meanwhile, you'll look for excuses, carry water, and/or keep yourself ignorant lest you lose a precious talking point.

"I was outspoken against the Gaetz nomination from the get-go."

That doesn't change the fact you'd be carrying water for him one iota.

"I was mortified by his Gaetz selection."

What a riot.

If he'd gotten confirmed, you'd be carrying his water. Just like you'll do for the rest of his crappy nominations.

"I don't know anything about them"

Bull.

Regardless, Kash has endorsed lawfare. Will you be railing against his lawfare as much as you railed against (the non-existent) lawfare against Trump?

" So far, all of your questions are about predicting how things will turn out."

No they aren't.

They were direct questions about folks like Patel and McMahon.

One is a Q-Anon cultist, and the other couldn't get a teaching job.

Kash has admitted he's interested in LAWFARE. If you had an ounce of class, you'd be railing against him.

And do you endorse the Brainworm guy for HHS, who's AGAINST vaccines but FOR heroin?

" I'm laughing at the self-immolation of some ... "

Try addressing the valid questions instead of studiously avoiding them.

" The Olympic peninsula "

Another highlight: Squim during lavender season. It's an odd WA town, situated just east of hills which cause ~300 sunny days in the year. We went on the killer of all garden tours.

" they're very commonly used to refer to a number in a continuous range."

Yes.

And that range BEGINS at multiples.

Calling 10,000 "tens of thousands" is a lie.
