⚾️ When people complained about long baseball games, the Major League Baseball responded with new rules such as limiting visits to the mound, timing pitching changes, etc.
What in God’s name have we done to speed up the judicial system and the people who use it to delay reality?
Steve Bannon? He’s entitled to “due process,” but let’s face it, he did it.
He was issued a subpoena and he violated it.
There is no reason this should go on for a year.
People caught on videotape committing a crime? Seems like those cases could be expedited.
⚖️ Filing frivolous lawsuits?
There should be a substantial penalty for that.

📰 Julie K. Brown’s series on the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes was entered in 2 categories for the Pulitzer Prize: investigative reporting and local reporting.
It didn’t even make the finals in either category despite arguably being the reason for Epstein’s arrest.j
After Epstein served his time in a private wing of the Palm Beach County Stockade, most of the press coverage consisted of tabloid-type pictures of him and girls who looked underage.
It was alleged in Virginia Giuffre’s lawsuit that Epstein instructed her to have sex with Dershowitz.
Dershowitz strongly denied the allegations. He also attacked Brown & @MiamiHerald although Brown said in her book, “In hindsight, I wish I had included more about Dershowitz.”
📮 Strange how there has been no investigation into Louis DeJoy’s role in losing, “misplacing” and delaying ballots in the 2020 election.
Plus, no reporter seems to care.
And he is likely doing it again in the 2021 recall election.
Lots of other offices are decided in 2021.
#VoteNoOnTheRecall and drive your ballot to a collection box if you can avoid the Post Office, please do.
The @USPS Board of Governors can fire DeJoy, but Ron Bloom, a Democrat, is standing in the way.
However, Republican John McLeod Barger’s term expires December 8, 2021—which when his replacement is appointed—should give the Democrats the power to fire him
@washingtonpost: On Friday, St. Petersburg cleaning crews had collected 15 tons of dead fish after 10 days of cleaning up, officials said during a news conf., as the cleanup continued. “9 tons of those fish have actually been picked up in the last 24 hrs,” St. Petersburg Emer Mgr
🔴 According to the @tampabaytimes, St. Petersburg is at the epicenter of the state’s recent red tides.
This was also a problem when Rick Scott was Governor of #Florida.
So Amazon is buying MGM Studios, which owns all the APPRENTICE and CELEBRITY APPRENTICE tapes with outtakes of Donald Trump allegedly acting like a racist and a misogynist.
I wonder if Jeff Bezos will release them...after what Trump’s buddies did to him?
💊 If they really want to bring Trump to justice, the Manhattan DA, NY AG, Georgia AG & the appropriate DOJ districts should hire Dan Schneider to help them.
After losing his son in a drug-related shooting in New Orleans, Dan Schneider pursued his killers...but quickly found out that his real killers were the drug companies.
He didn’t take no for answer, despite warnings from law enforcement and little help. He just kept going.
