Indictment: When not if.


https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2022/10/merrick-garland-donald-trump-investigation-indictment/671683/

Interesting bio stuff on Garland.  Had a smile at this:

When he was on the bench, Garland would occasionally orient new clerks to his idiosyncrasies by playing a song by the band Vampire Weekend which contains the refrain, Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma? It was amusing because the band was so distant from his range of expected cultural references, and because the straitlaced attorney general would never utter that sentence himself. It was also funny because Garland does care about punctuation, deeply.

Yes.  A little Dali in there, with the scoundrels.

Someone should put Stephen Miller on a big old jetliner that carries him too far away.

Since my skimming the story led to missing some key information I'm deleting the original post.  I'm to that point where, if I can't read the whole story, then I just don't read it.

Well, she is an equal opportunity bigot.

This is what happens when Latinos believe they have been assimilated into whiteness.

This is why so many Latinos are supporting the GOP.

What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? (One of my grandmothers faves.)

It is hard for you to imagine people less ignorantly bigoted than yourself, kid, though they are all around you all the time.

It is another facet of your pinhead paradox that makes you less and less of a man.

Mostly these days it is diagnosed as conservatism with positive cases being written off as a near total loss.

Parody must be protected.

From the amicus brief (paraphrased):

the Onion is the worlds leading news publication with a daily readership of 4.3 trillion that has grown into the single most powerful and influential organization in human history.

Pure gold...

Latinas?
Bad idea to be exalting Latinas above any other race.
Everyone should be treated the same.
"Latinas are all lovely people" seems to be the popular mantra these days.
No they're not.
Some are very horrible, MS13 gang members doing very bad things.
Criminals of all types, from drug carteliers to rapists, mudrerers, thugs of all  types, just like any other race.
 Some are very nice people, like in every other race.
Borders should be closed tight, slammed shut, with only authorised people allowed to cross them.
Italy has finally seen the light.
Countries in Europe have finally seen the light.
Anything else is anarchy, no way to run a nation.

Mr. Hoover was an engineer. He knew that water trickles down... But he didnt know that money trickled up. Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night, anyhow. But it will at least have passed through the poor fellows hands.
