    There is an historical kernel there…

    When Rudy was peddling the embarrassing stuff supposedly found on Hunter Biden’s laptop – but only to far-right sources (he wouldn’t give it to anyone who would ask questions) – 50 current and former intelligence agents signed a published letter saying the whole thing smelled like a Russian disinformation operation.

    Of course, Rudy was only giving the data to friendly organizations who wouldn’t ask questions, the repair shop owner had already told people that Rudy had altered the data (so maybe Rudy is in on the Russian disinformation?), and “laptop” continues to be a will-o-the-wisp.

    It’s been established in the years since that Hunter Biden’s iCloud account had been hacked so some of the information was real, so rwnj’s like to point to that letter as “the deep state is covering for Biden” – despite Rudy faking some of it, and his refusal to give the information to anyone who would look at it critically.

    I’ve never seen an analysis of what was on Mac Isaac’s copy vs what was on the schlock Rudy was peddling.

    I first heard about the Anna Chennault Affair when Clark Clifford (LBJ’s last secdef) wrote about it in The New Yorker in the 1990s (before it had that name).

    Like the Tulsa Massacre, I don’t think nearly enough people have heard about it.

    LBJ was sick of Vietnam. He was going to ram a peace deal down the South’s side and get out. Candidate Nixon sent someone to screw up those negotiations to further his election bid. He told them to stall, to walk out because Nixon would double down if elected, and they did.

    For his own personal ambition, Nixon got tens of thousands of US troops killed and a million SE Asians. And then Nixon rammed the same deal down their throats 6 years later.

    Closest to the defintion of treason I can think of.

    “River to the sea” is a slogan used on both sides. One side says it means “All that land will be Israel”; the other “All that land will be Palestine”. Some maintain it’s no commentary on what will happen to the people in either case.

    Others maintain both intend it to be a genocide of the others.

    And the governor of TX is trying to set aside the conviction of one man-in-car who got out and shot a protester dead.

    Severability clauses are not at all uncommon in legislation. The ACA had a number, if I recall correctly.

    That’s one of the crazy parts of their objection! They demanded the border be tied to Ukraine aid, so a bipartisan group in the senate worked weeks to hammer out a border compromise to tack on, and when they finally came up with something the tangerine terrorist demanded the House refuse – and they did.

    No one but themselves to blame

    A few more might just resign in disgust, which would have the same effect.

    I have yet to see any judge with the termerity to jail the IT clown face. They might fine him, but as we’ve seen as long as his suckers pay the fines, trump doesn’t care.
