Thanks to JVL @ The Bullwork:

America was run on the honor system. That system has been broken. It will not come back. The best we can hope for is to have one political party which adheres to norms and processes while the other luxuriates in corruption.

We need to ride ourselves of a 2 party sys.

War Is Expensive for the Little People Operation Epic Fury will cost billions that could have been put to much better use

Why are Americans so negative about this war? First, they believe it has been foisted upon them. Second, sense correctly, that there is no strategy. Third, the public senses that the little people will bear this war’s cost.

Opinion | Nine Law Firms Surrendered. Four Law Firms Won.

Cowards fail. Every law school in the country should be revising their curricula in light of this and utter failure of the legal profession to stop this. Yes there are good attorneys. But there seem to be way too many bad ones.

Let me think, what have I lost these past 14 months? That would include my security, my sanity, my health, the rule of law and my freedom. Now I have also lost hockey. No more Minnesota Wild thanks to the US Hockey men choosing to play props for Orange. I would ask what else can he take, we know.

I look forward to the day of accountability when old man Orange, smug and deplorable vp and the entire cabinet of miscreants are all housed under one roof at the T. Don Hutto Residential Center, under the careful eye of CoreCivic. Nothing is going to make me happier.
