You know what would be smart?

Maybe state legislatures should pass legislation granting State's Attorneys the option to prosecute elected officials for federal crimes in the event political BS at the top corrupts the federal judicial process...
... so long as there is a nexus between the state and the elected official - like if the official was ever on the ballot in that state, or campaigned in that state.
So, like, if Barr is blocking prosecution of any elected officials for laundering foreign cash, or FARA violations, or anything that currently isn't a crime at the indiv State level because it's usu managed by the Federal govt, respective states can hold officials accountable.

Well, this is something I didn't expect to run across when trying to find someone that sells pawpaw fruit products:

when Roy Cohn was disbarred it was linked to the town that currently produces most of the whiskey consumed in the US

chuckcowdery.blogspot.com/2019/05/roy-co…
Cohn was disbarred for trying to inject himself into being an executor of the Lew Rosenstiel estate - Lew was the head of the Schenley booze empire, who tried to mask his sordid proclivities (as you would expect if Roy Cohn was his lawyer) with charitable contributions...
which apparently included becoming the namesake for the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences - where my uncle did his research that continually thwarted Russian military interests (and climate change disinfo efforts;

So many people are sick, and have no right to exist in society ever again.

This is one.

I'd say we should turn Little St. James and Great St. James into their penile colony until we can build more suitable quarters in ...

St. George Island... or maybe

King Island, to fit with their flawed perception of their own worth.

There are so many problems with facebook at this point that it seems this is the optimal solution recommended by a former content moderator:

theverge.com/2019/6/19/1868…
If Facebook was serious about not harming society, they would investigate each video of any acts of violence or criminal actions & both pass the user information directly to the authorities & sue all original posters for the cost of the investigation and the harm to the platform.
They would NEVER permit prohibited videos from being republished- they would run analytics on all videos against content previously found to have violated rules (they've had suitable analytics tech in-house since before 2010 - I know, because I worked on it).

Thread #1 - LD1-19 *Why support the Millionaires Tax?
1. NJ is in the TOP 10 of states for income inequality.
2. The wealthiest 5% pay LESS in income tax than middle class families.
3. NJ has seen an increase in millionaire households while raising the top rate in 2004. 1/
Top 3 key FACTS to fight against the myths:

1. Myth: All my millions will be taxed at a higher rate!

Fact: The tax would go from 8.97% to 10.75% for all annual earnings OVER $1 million. It does NOT apply to an individual's entire income. 2/
2. Myth: Millionaires will leave the state.

Fact: There is no "millionaire's tax flight" since 1994 and the number of tax filers over $500,000 have INCREASED. 3/

It's #FOIA Friday and I'm almost recovered from an upper respiratory infection, so perhaps folks will be interested in seeing these Immigrant Health Services Corps policies and directives we obtained through FOIA litigation, the majority which have never been public. Here goes...

As the vote on Judge Kavanaugh comes around tomorrow I have thoughts I have gathered about what has really been at the root of this debacle.
First, this is NOT about C. Ford nor any other "accuser" of Judge K. This is not about women. This is not about abortion. I hate to
break it to everyone that Roe v Wade will not be overturned. The best/worse you can hope for (dependent on your perspective) is restriction or more clear definition of viability. (Viability has greatly changed w/ medical advances). This is NOT about his temperament or
some judicial bias. If that were so Dems would have started impeachment of RBG who has said much more inflammatory statements regarding President Trump.
I have said it and will say it again Dr. Ford was a convenient and willing sacrifice. She was in way over her head before

Thread: Prosecute Hillary! (A little pick-me-up for a Tuesday)

1. Ya know, @POTUS has been REALLY, REALLY good on delivering his campaign promises, but there’s an YUUUGE one that’s still dangling out there. One with its own hashtag: #LockHerUp
2. It’s also one on which delivering would go a LOOOONG way toward restoring the rule of law in America, not to mention the application of equal justice under the law while simultaneously serving as a deterrent to would-be future corrupto-crats in the system.
3. Others have written passionately about Hillary’s many crimes over the years, as well as the political corruption at DoJ and the FBI that have let her off the hook time and again. Me, too, for that matter!
