Your client is out on $2M Bond, on an order that requires updating the court as to his address, & when the DA says "no, we won't redact unless you can justify it" you just say "fuck it, we'll violate the order" instead of asking the Court for relief??!! https://t.co/aw0YcexTAF
A source confirms this to me as well. Standing O from roughly half the House GOP for a woman who trafficked in anti Semitic and racist conspiracy theories, who questioned whether 9/11 and mass shootings were real events. https://t.co/a5p1rGJUv7

And Gym Jordan says "elites" sip wine:This is the party of Jewish space lasers and murdering their opposition now. No turning back. They have chosen who they are. https://t.co/tmo6cGrt6d

Extra points for the Patty Hearst reference."We're just down to Earth folks, not wine-sipping elites" is a real positive spin to put on "we've ceded the party to unhinged violent conspiracy theorists." That's like saying the Symbionese Liberation Army was "into business casual."https://t.co/QlKdnBvGHQ

Fake Billionaire Trump’s cabinet:
17 millionaires
2 centimillionaires
1 billionaire
Betsy DeVos- $2 B
Wilbur Ross- $600 M
Steven Mnuchin- $400 M
The Senate Minority leader of your own party is worth $22.5 M.

Or is this all just "performative" (the newest "not what the word means but sounds like it should" internet term)?Given most GOP house members also voted to overturn the election, is there really a debate within the party or more a breakaway insurgency of traditional, reality-based conservatives? https://t.co/eFXlHmoMbW

Sincerity: if you can fake that, you’ve got it made.Almost all of these folks wouldn't defend her in private conversations. I've tried over the past two months to see who would defend in her in earnest and off record

They all think she's unwell
So this is all just a cynical, political response to this...which makes it even worse https://t.co/x1O0sy9lud
Or maybe the faking is what they are telling the reporters off anonymously. That seems much more ripe for manipulation. No one required half the caucus to applaud Greene. They are telling us who they are but their vote to overturn the election and by their response to Greene. We should believe them.
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean The Littlest Nazi (aka Lil' Ricky)will lose the money he put up to spring the little Nazi?
ReplyDeleteMy guess would be "yes." There was a story via Twitter (so I don't know that it's verified) that defense counsel said a "highly placed" officer in the Kenosha PD told 'em to take off and find a "safe house" and not reveal the address. Which would indicate a strong level of police approval of the shootings.
DeleteOr that story is bullshit and defense counsel is grossly incompetent, because I can tell you from a civil perspective the "excuse" being reported sounds like a father with a child support order who got his spouse to agree he didn't have to pay because he lost his job. Court orders come from courts, and you don't get to alter them on your own. Seen many a father get sent to jail for criminal contempt when he thought he had a "Get Out of Jail Free" card. The only option the family had here was to seek an order sealing the information about their new address, and getting permission to relocate. They're screwed, and their lawyers are, too.
Big time. Judges don't like having their orders traduced.
