Today's revelation shows even more clearly that the Mueller investigation was the biggest political hit job since ....well, I guess since Crossfire Hurricane launched...

@shipwreckedcrew Ha. Actually that's me typing out thoughts I've had over last 30 years as someone trying to be a faithful Catholic & recognizing Church teaching cannot change so capital punishment cannot be intrinsically evil, but pondering could it ever be prudentially permitted (necessary?) 1/
@shipwreckedcrew 2/ If rationale for death penalty is "self-defense"/"defense of others" versus retribution/balancing scales of justice, with latter maybe being a justification morally but I wasn't convinced on that, so left to ponder former.
@shipwreckedcrew 3/ In countries where lacking of ability to keep someone imprisoned, i.e., Syria, death penalty may be necessary to protect society. But what of U.S.? Well if you can't lock them up & protect others b/c kill in prison? That would justify. Or what if kill cops?

By not commuting all of those sentenced to death, Biden is saying two things: a) death penalty is not intrinsically evil; b) the distinctions between facts of those commuted & 3 that were not mattered. So what are those distinctions? 1/
2/ Were the 3 whose sentences were not commuted convicted of murdering someone while in prison? Were they convicted of killing a cop? Those two factors could reasonably cause someone to treat the death sentence differently based on premise that you only institute death penalty
3/ if you cannot keep society safe by locking person up for rest of life. But we know Biden a) didn't make decision; b) if he did/whoever did didn't care about prudential judgment but cared only about politics.

THREAD: This headline & lede is fascinating to me because it is both spot on and 100% wrong. I agree @SpeakerJohnson has a "taste of the hell that awaits him," but The Sun is completely wrong on the why, as are Dems & rest of media. 1/ Image
2/ It isn't Musk & his posts or the slim majority: It is that "X is the media" now & the old way of Washington doing business are over. Again, the proof of this is in the killing in February of immigration bill on @LeaderMcConnell's watch.
@LeaderMcConnell 3/ It wasn't that Musk tweeted about it but that Musk's purchase of X allowed for ordinary Americans to saturate the country with details of what that legislation would do and would not do & Americans wanted it killed because it was horrid.

BREAKING: Holy crap, lots of breaking news in @EithanHaim case, with court unsealing documents. Buckle in...I'm buying and having loaded to courtlistener for the X is the media folks. 1/
2/ So WTH was government filing this underseal for? Because they look like a bunch of incompetent boobs who made up statutory language in an indictment?storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
3/ And this? This was filed "unseal?" Now maybe if the government explained why Tina the attorney was being taken of the case, I could see them frivolously filing this underseal to avoid embarassment... storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
