    It sucks that we’re living through a legit fascist takeover, but at least the fascists are collectively as dumb as a sack of wet hammers.

      We must continue to fight the wet hammers at every opportunity. We can never relent, we must make their progress difficult or impossible.

      They are incompetent, but the piles of money that push them forward is limitless, which means their efforts will also be limitless.

    That’s what happens when you pick your cronies based on their looks and sycophantic tendencies, instead of experience and knowledge.

      People debasing themselves and ruining their careers is basically mandatory. Each is hoping for a more important government job or contract after. And if that fails there is always hate-blogging and Fox news.

      She was the only one stupid enough to actually try and go for it. All the other prosecutors they asked refused, I think some even resigned. She’s a different kind of stupid I guess.

        She’s a different kind of stupid I guess.

        She’s going to get a dozen book deals from conservative publishers. She’ll land a talking head spot on FOX News. She’ll hook up with Steven Mnuchin’s cousin or get Baron Trump’s baby in her or just marries a party mega-donor. Maybe she runs for AG in Virginia in 2029 and rides in on a Republican reactionary wave after President Pete Buttigieg shits the bed. If nothing else, they’ll be posting jerk-off material of her on Grok for the next twenty years. I’m sure there’s a way to monetize that.

        If you think that’s stupid, you’re thinking she’s playing a different game. Her card is punched.

      Okay, but in their defense, Lindsey Halligan is an absolute smoke-show. She’s going to make a great replacement for Jeanine Pirro in another two years.

      Well I mean in this case, her lack of competency and credentials were a per-requisite. No one with skills in law would have even considered attempting these cases.
