And the key to repeated disappointment.

Until they use “fetal personhood” to claim the pregnant person is kidnapping the fetus by crossing state lines, adding to this kafkaesque nightmare.

Not easily, but the deliberate nature of the cases allowed the clock to be run out with a major assist from SCOTUS.

Not this (grand jury files) in particular, but the files that the grand jury had access to came from DoJ and can be released by his administration.

And yet they remained in power…/vent /nmay /nbh

Roberts and McConnell are pretty neck and neck for that distinction. I’d personally choose McConnell for his decades of sabotage, but you know, it’s horses for courses.

This episode nearly took me out several times. Lou, Jiavani, and Ross are a fantastic team.

Some democratic politician is going to say something that DESTROYS him…again.
