There is no inherent reason why someone like John Yoo, who lacks a grounded understanding of the constitution, should also be a mendacious bad actor. But here he shows he’s both. He purposefully misstates the issue by calling Rudy a “presidential envoy.” He also knows ...
2/ that someone who is a conduit for espionage, even unintentional, is guilty of a profound breach, even if they are not criminally liable. Yoo’s comments were a disgraceful smear and he is clumsily backtracking now because he got out ahead of his skis in the Fox News garbage ...
3/ info ecosystem before finding out that evenly reliably pro-Trump elected officials were offended by his immoral conduct.

I’m always a bit ambivalent about sharing or publicizing this information. Because on its face it sounds like, “Damn, those guys are swimming in money or growing like gangbusters!” Well, not exactly. But when you see all these sites closing down or sold for parts or where ...
2/ the new boss calls everyone together and says they’re all fired it’s because the site’s business model collapsed. Or just as often it’s because the investors who were floating the operation belatedly realized that scale and ads were never going to generate the ...
3/ kinds of returns they were investing against. So they pulled the plug. Well, our business model collapsed too. In fact, probably more dramatically since we lacked scale and access to capital and synergies with other brands to leverage against the decline.

None of this is a mystery. Reading Warrens bio, early career is as bankruptcy law expert, taking various cases largely on technical matters of bankruptcy law. Then she gets more focused on consumer bankruptcy and that leads her in the direction of ... nytimes.com/2019/10/28/us/…
2/ middle class economics and eventually progressive politics. Lines up with her being at least a nominal/registered Republican until the mid-90s. The evolution is entirely credible and indeed laudable. Mainly critics are making a dumb critique. But warrens campaign ...
3/ would be wise to embrace the evolution a bit more.

I’m in a car to studio so lines are wobbly. But I’ve wanted to capture the way the players in the Ukraine extortion scheme have used lawyer/client privilege (or claim to have) to bottle up courts or any potential investigators.
2/ I’ll get the names in later. Most of you know the faces. As you see, Giuliani is representing the two hustlers (Parnas & Fruman). He also says they are his investigators for his representation of Prez Trump & thus are shielded by his L/C privilege representing the President.
3/ Meanwhile there’s a parallel set up with the lawyers for Dmitry Firtash, the oligarch who agreed to manufacture damaging allegations against Joe Biden. Fox power lawyers Toensing and DiGenova are repping Firtash. And Parnas is part of that representation as a “translator.”

John Yoo: "some people might call that espionage"

What's the point of having a law professor on if he's going to say "some people might" describe something as a crime without actually discussing whether it is that crime or not?

Some people might call that wildly irresponsible.
Some people might, of course, also object to his and Dershowitz's smirking through the host's implication that a foreign-born American citizen likely has dual loyalties.
Some people might call Yoo and Dershowitz soulless publicity-hounds with no moral compass or scholarly chops to speak of.

But who's to say, really?

John Brockman knew. Here he is with one of Jeffrey Epstein’s rape victims on one side, and alleged abuse coordinator, at an Edge.org billionaire’s dinner in the early 2000s.

John Yoo is the reason I have not given $ to my law school in nearly 20 years. They hired him after his famous “torture memo” gave Bush explicit permission to use tongs to crush the testicles of a child, for purposes of terrifying his mother and possibly extracting information.
Yoo was a monster then. He’s a monster now. Don’t @ me with “I had him for prof and he wasn’t monstery - very quiet.” The quiet monsters are the dangerous ones.

However.

When the monster says “You’re too monstrous.”

That’s a clue.

A big one.
I’ve pressed the view, past few days, that Trump’s categorical obstruction (“fight all the subpoenas”) has de facto dissolved Congress. Nadler and Schiff must forcefully wrest Congress’s power back with decisive action in days, OR IT’S GONE.

In a world where everyone has superpowers, Seokjin can read minds and Yoongi is a shapeshifter.

Yoongi works at the café across from Seokjin's bakery and, every day after his shift ends, he crosses the street to visit Jin. Not in his human form, no---but as a cat.
They like each other and think their crushes are secret, having absolutely no idea that they've already confessed to each other. Seokjin hears it in Yoongi's thoughts, and Yoongi hears it from Seokjin's own mouth bc Seokjin confides in him when he thinks he's just a stray cat.
Seokjin is used to hearing compliments from people wherever he goes. Over the years, he's managed to control his power enough that he /can/ block someone's mind so that he's not able to hear them anymore. But sometimes it's harder to get the job done, especially among crowds.

Unbelievable!!

Did U Know that a "Black Nobility" World Government Is Already In Power & Its “Constitution” Overrules Ur Constitution?
Did U know they have a "Constitution" that Ur lawmakers make laws to obey its principles?

1-This should be on every major news. It is not something new but it is the biggest agenda running under any other agenda. This is the “Constitution” of The New Word Global Government which is already in full power.
2-As I see a universal pattern of pushing diversity, gender dysphoria, immigration, socialism, racial wars, operating chemtrails severely, and the war on Christianity, it becomes clear that there is an order, a command above any government that dictates new policies.
