“The issue, now before Cannon in the Southern District of Florida federal court, is likely to remain in the political debate at least until Cannon holds a hearing on the legal power of the special counsel to prosecute a defendant, on June 21.”

    If nobody is going to do anything about it, then there is no point is us (rightfully) getting riled up.

    It seems a lot of media anger is righteous but performative while we let right wing crazies have their way.

      If we do not get riled then history will say we were content with it. History will say we liked it.

      Take your shepherding to some flock, and let’s have the people stand up and be heard.

        The problem is that we clearly like it enough to not do something about it. Until the right wing crazies become more than a slight inconvenience for the moderates, then nothing is going to change.

        To be clear, you and I are both sitting by letting this happen.
