Actually, I Would Like to File The Opposite Thing, Please DOJ says it wants to drop its law firm cases, then changes its mind; Customs says it can't stop charging illegal IEEPA tariffs; Alabama prosecutors say a penis costume was an illegal traffic hazard.

After DEMANDING that Hillary Clinton's testimony on the Epstein scandal be held behind closed doors, and even threatening her with contempt for her insistence that reporters be allowed in, the GOP has been sending out photos and info to far-right influencers.

Hypocrisy is the GOP brand.

Markwayne Mullin: "The ACA is unaffordable".

Argentina- $40 Billion
Board Of Peace- $10 Billion
Qatar Jet refit- $1 Billion
ICE- $85 Billion increase
Trump demands $10 Billion personally because we saw his taxes.
And the kicker, $500 Billion MORE to the Pentagon
But health care is "unaffordable"πŸ™„

DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as β€˜violent perpetrators’

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions.

Hell No Bill A D.C. grand jury declines to indict Democrats in Congress (reportedly with zero votes in favor); a Fifth Circuit panel throws Trump a bone; an alleged jewel thief chooses Ecuador over prison.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years.

SpaceX shifts focus from something that it will never do on Mars to something it will never do on the Moon.

Court Therapy A DOJ lawyer vents in court that it 'sucks' to represent this government, which continues to struggle to find lawyers; a retired NFL player sues his ex-wife for telling the world about his huge penis.

On this week’s Serious Trouble, we discuss chaos within US Attorneys Offices, decisions for and against the administration, and whether your ex-wife saying your dick is too big is plausibly constitutes tortious invasion of privacy. Some of this was voluntary.

Watch the video as a recklessly driven cheap car careens around and a gang of armed thugs spring out to menace an innocent civilian, like a kidnapping or robbery or murder-for-hire.

It looks like organized crime taking place in a third-world country, because it is.

Trump Says Kennedy Center Will Close for Two Years for Renovations The president wrote that the performing-arts center will be shut on July 4 for β€˜Construction, Revitalization, and Complete Rebuilding.’

He’s destroying everythingβ€”acting like these buildings are his.

Also the real reason he’s closing it is because literally no one will perform there anymore after he slapped his name on it and this way he gets to claim β€œunder construction” instead of the actual reality which is everyone loathes him.
