- I’m willing to admit I may’ve overstated the dangers of a second Trump term. He’ll only be a dictator on “day one?”Shoot, that’s not so bad. We should all get twenty-four hours of tyranny, don’tcha think? On mine, we’re gonna round up everybody who...59 comments 278 Recs

- Expert witnesses get paid. Fair enough. No one should have to work for free. But at some point, you have to wonder if the money they get is ‘shading’ their testimony — or perhaps just flat-out buying it. When the amount is nearly $900,000, those...68 comments 257 Recs
- As the title of this diary says, hell has frozen over, and pigs are flying… speaks volumes about the state of the GOP these days. It appears Kevin McCarthy has changed his tune. The article actually speaks for itself so there is not much I can add to...57 comments 275 Recs
