I saw Hunter trending, and I came to see if Hunter Biden is trying to start a war with Russia.

There is nothing he won't do🤷‍♀️

(sarcasm)
Ha! And he is!

Can you believe it?
I tried to invent the most preposterous thing I could think of . . . but Jr. thought of it first.

HAHA!

But I came up with the exact same idea —that nasty trouble-making Hunter Biden is making trouble on the Ukraine-Russia border—and the only substances I abuse are coffee and dark chocolate (preferably at the same time).

Thanks, @kyledcheney

Here's the 16-page ruling. (Yesterday, the judge released a 2-page advance notice)

politico.com/f/?id=0000017e…

I wouldn't want to be John Eastman right now.
Despite the lack of evidence of fraud, a significant portion of the population came to believe the election was tainted by fraud.

I wonder how that happened! 🤔

(Sarcasm. I know how it happened, as so does the judge.) Image
In addition to Trump (and a few others) Eastman also represented clients who he wouldn't name because he said their identity was privileged.

What?!

The privilege doesn't protect client identies except in rare circumstanes. (Hmm. I'll have to think more about what that means.) Image

I think what the mermaid🧜‍♀️ is saying is that we end up giving huge platforms to people who are (and always have been) reactionaries and regressives simply because they dislike Trump.

People on the left like seeing attacks on Trump, so they retweet and follow.
Related: Some accounts grew large because they were good at attacking Trump. But some don't know how to do anything except attack, so they turn their attacks on the Democrats.

Similarly, Republicans are good at being an opposition party. They can attack but can't build.
Don't get me wrong. We need to work with the Republicans who are opposed to Trump. They are our partners in beating back the extremist element of the party.

And many former Republicans now truly embrace democracy.

Others may be right about Trump, and wrong about much else. ⤵️ Image

In John Eastman's application for TRO fighting the Jan6 committee's subpoena, he argued that (1) the committee lacked authority to issue the subpoena, and that the subpoena violated his 1st and 4th Amendment rights.

As expected, he lost.

Now Eastman is supposed to work on a privilege log, presumably because he's claiming attorney-client privilege over some of the documents.

He also raised a 5th Amendment argument, but claiming the 5th wouldn't prevent him from working with the committee.

2/
Temporary restraining order.

(I typed it out, but Twitter told me I had too many characters!)

This ruling matters because courts are rejecting the claim that this committee is illegitimate. . .

For this week's blog post, I pulled together a few of the threads I wrote this week.

I suggest that the fact that Trump lies and cheats is actually part of his appeal with a significant portion of the population.

If the goal is to dismantle. . .

. . . the federal government (or administrative state, or "deep state") put in place since the New Deal and Civil Rights movement, this can be done slowly and methodically, as the GOP did before Trump, or they can bring in a wrecking ball and do it faster.

2/
Trump is the wrecking ball. One way to destroy is to send an armed militia against Congress.

Another way is to spread destructive lies.

Another way is to unleash a propaganda machine.

We have both a law enforcement problem and a political problem.

I’m here in Texas where I am assured that everything is bigger.

Exhibit #1: A Texas-sized donut pictured next to normal donuts for scale. Image
It definitely wouldn't pass for California cuisine.

And we have bigger hills on the California coast, so take that, Texas.

😂😂

It's just easier to destroy rule of law than to preserve it.

It's easier to dismantle a government than to use government to improve the lives of the people, particularly when another party is trying to dismantle the government.

That's why Republicans have the easier task.
Huge advantage: Right-wing authoritarians fall in line. They prefer to move in lockstep.

On the other hand, if you want to move forward and improve people's lives, there are lots of different paths and people disagree on how to best move forward.
A lot of Americans don't think the purpose of government is to help people.

When I was a public appellate defender, someone told me, "My tax dollars shouldn't pay for a poor person's defense."

(I was horrified by the kind of world he wanted to live in)
