With respect, if all you can add is criticism maybe you have nothing to add.

Feel free to find a better source and post it

Dude, I posted an article. You said it was trash but also that you didn’t read it. I said I hate it when people already have an opinion before they read the article. Everything else is in your head

“First let me insult you, but then I’d like to say yeah I didn’t read it but I was right anyway”

Vomiting your opinion without even reading the source is the reason some of us left other platforms, please stop.

Which is what the article says. Maybe don’t start your critique of the article and the “rag” with an admission that you didn’t even read it.

Text: Lindsey Halligan, the former Trump White House aide who went on to spearhead short-lived criminal cases against a pair of the president’s perceived adversaries, is stepping down from her Justice Department position.

Halligan’s departure was announced Tuesday night by Attorney General Pam Bondi, capping a fraught four-month tenure during which she served as the driving force behind the Justice Department’s prosecutions of former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

A former personal lawyer for Trump, Halligan was installed as the top federal prosecutor in eastern Virginia after her predecessor was forced out. Soon after, she almost single-handedly secured indictments against Comey and James that the president had demanded. Both cases were later dismissed by a judge who ruled she was unlawfully appointed. The Justice Department has appealed those rulings.

Her departure came as the federal judges of eastern Virginia increasingly questioned the legitimacy of her role within the Justice Department.

Earlier on Tuesday, the chief judge of the federal district court in eastern Virginia issued an order soliciting applicants to replace Halligan, noting that her interim appointment expired after 120 days and that the Senate hadn’t voted to confirm her.

Another judge separately excoriated Halligan for continuing to identify herself as U.S. attorney, despite the November ruling that found her appointment unlawful. “In short, this charade of Ms. Halligan masquerading as the United States Attorney for this District in direct defiance of binding court orders must come to an end,” wrote Judge David Novak, a Trump appointee who was confirmed in 2019.

Novak also criticized the tone of a recent filing, cosigned by Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, in which Halligan accused him of abusing his power. That response, Novak wrote, “contains a level of vitriol more appropriate for a cable news talk show and falls far beneath the level of advocacy expected from litigants in this Court, particularly the Department of Justice.”

Before Halligan’s appointment, the Trump administration had taken similar steps to install handpicked prosecutors atop offices from New Jersey to California by sidestepping the customary confirmation process. Among them was another former personal lawyer for Trump, Alina Habba, who resigned in December as the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey after an appeals court ruled she was unlawfully serving in the role.

Bondi called Halligan’s departure a “significant loss for the Department of Justice” and said the “circumstances that led to this outcome are deeply misguided.”

“Despite multiple, unnecessary legal obstacles placed in her path, Lindsey stepped forward at a critical juncture for our Nation and fulfilled her responsibilities with courage and resolve,” the attorney general said.

Impeach. Noem, Bondi and Trump.

Thank god for “filter user”

ICE no doubt redacting their faces like an Epstein file

Oh sure just a routine trip out of the country hours after being released from a felony arrest. Nothing to see here 🙄

A quick check at amazon shows these costing about $14 each, no doubt much less in bulk but still expensive. Perhaps inquire with the shipper if they would accept them for reuse if cleaned. If the shipper is friendly they might consider setting up a program to collect these from your city and return them for reuse. The shipper could save considerably on costs and you might have found a new business.

Your very long comment reveals that you understand the analogy but would rather complain about it than address it. Russia invaded Ukraine and is killing it’s people, correct? Digging deep into the geopolitical history to find some kind of reason is very much like apologizing for this murderer. It’s not an academic pursuit or a fun problem to study, it’s “I’ve got tanks and disposable people, I’m taking your land”.

When the schoolyard bully is on top of you, punching you in the face, it feels inappropriate to contemplate his bad childhood.

He (or you) ascribes alot of nuance and careful consideration to someone who has demonstrated nothing but malice and avarice. Putin clearly cares nothing for both the people of Ukraine and his own people. Why are we trying so hard to be understanding to a murderous dictator?

Seems to ignore the reason why Putin wants a non-NATO neighbor, namely so he can invade and control it.

Umm what about the people and infrastructure required to research, write and publish those stories?

No doubt he wants to focus on the Epstein files

She should have just answered with “where are the Epstein files?”

I know I’m going to get downvoted but I use FSD every day. It’s not perfect but it keeps getting better, and it’s already the best solution out there. If you haven’t actually used it then all you have is someone else’s opinion.

Stipulated: Elon still lied about the timetable.

Stipulated: Eton helping Trump and doing DOGE made me sick to watch.
