To be fair, their options were this, or silence. The latter would be a tacit: “Fuck you. Your Honor.”Oh shit. Fox “News” just issued a formal apology to the judge in the Dominion lawsuit for a “misunderstanding” & promises that it will do better going forward. In other words, Fox knows they lied & they know they are in deep trouble for their actions.

A major donor finally goes on record with what has been a whisper: donors are getting worried https://t.co/7NbLMduO4p pic.twitter.com/WGCEzQisjU

Abortion and book banning? “Really don’t mind if you sit this one out./My words but a whisper, you’re deafness a shout.” One does wonder where they’ll turn. Even Jr. is getting burned for backing off on Bud Lite (which ain’t abortion, because nobody else cares). Although the RNC is quietly doing the same thing:All the big donors can go home bc the GOP is a forced birth party. Pack it in, fellas.

Which doesn’t mean they aren’t still saying the quiet part out loud:EXCLUSIVE: The National Republican Congressional Committee quietly deleted a fundraising page Saturday that took aim at one of their largest donors, the parent company of Bud Light, Anheuser-Busch.https://t.co/iLw6Aa6cqz

“Strange fruits.” And Trump laments to the white NRA audience that he can’t say the “N-word” anymore. And the media still acts like it’s all dog whistles they can’t hear and a mystery what’s going on.🤔"a Republican spoke & said he thought it was a great bill and that it should be amended to include hanging someone by a tree - He didn’t say hanging from the gallows. He said hanging from a tree. We’re here in the South - we know exactly what that means." https://t.co/n9LNtkOU9X

None dare call it racism.I think NYT reporting on Jack Texiera's "gamer group" without mentioning its racism which is right there in the name--Thug Shaker Central--is my long overdue breaking point w/ the paper's "blindspots."

The search for something to hang around Biden’s neck goes on, too .I hear he’s not going to the coronation. Oh, wait, they tried that. But it turns out no President ever has. Meanwhile, Republicans keep aiming for their feet.It’s obviously a terrible insult to our British friends for anyone to be photographed with Adams https://t.co/KlOme9pP5c pic.twitter.com/tGOhRgfDvU

It seems the GOP donors started earlier than announced. And then there’s the GOP judiciary:Haley falsified her fundraising numbers because it’s a new generation or something. https://t.co/v3qDCPxkAE

"They don’t catch the smart ones.”In my career, I’ve written/co-written a number of law review articles and read drafts of a whole lot more.

I have *never* heard of a “placeholder” author on a law review article.
That’s just … not a thing.
"Judge shopping” doesn’t have the cachet of Thomas selling himself to the highest bidder, but it is just as corrosive to the legal system. Especially since Kacsmaryk is in the 5th Circuit, the most intellectually corrupt Circuit in the country. (And yes, Kacsmaryk is hiding something.)Just to tie these threads together, Reitz (the then-EIC who allowed Kacsmaryk to pull this nonsense) is now one of the lead lawyers steering Texas’s challenges to Biden admin. policies to Kacsmaryk—and the one defending against the claimed judge shopping:https://t.co/ie2PLcL4GM pic.twitter.com/SaM5aoRW4q

The only thing that can explain the ongoing Bud Light obsession is it’s hard to churn out outrage content when all the real outrages are gushing from your side like a burst dam.
