    According to multiple law enforcement sources federal investigators have narrowed down the retail chain where the two 60-minute kitchen timers were bought as well as the end caps used to assemble the two viable pipe bombs placed outside the RNC + DNC. A forensic

    Some good news for me on this Friday: Hubs (who’s in his 70s) is getting the first dose of the vaccine this afternoon. 👍🏻 A major step toward getting back to normal at our house. 🙏🏻

    It’s a device for safely conveying information between the sides. The client has to tell the truth in the meeting tho; it’s a separate criminal offense to lie in the meeting. /3

    It can be a prelude to a cooperation agreement, but in white collar cases it is also often used as a tool to let the prosecutors see that the client is not guilty, not as guilty as they think, not guilty of what or everything *they* think he’s guilty of, or is a witness only. /2

    This is what criminal lawyers call a “Queen for a day” agreement. Some folks call it a “proffer” agreement. Boiled down it means your client talks to the prosecutors but what he says won’t be used against him. It is a useful tool for both sides of a case. /1

    Interesting “this is not a cooperation” agreement with Felix Sater just released on DOJ foia. Crim law isn’t my bag. I’ll defer to . . and . as to what this means.

    I mean, it’s ok to use the word nihilism. It’s a perfectly good word. And I think no word -& I mean no word- should be eliminated. But it’s 1 thing to say a way of thinking or belief system is nihilism & another to say behavior you don’t like is w/o explaining your rationale.

    Have you ever noticed how the only people who use the word “nihilism” to describe other people’s behavior are huge assholes?

    Mask refusers appeal to liberty. But even staunch libertarians know that checking the spread of disease is a legitimate government function. The hostility to masks isn't libertarian. It's nihilistic. Nihilism has come to characterize a significant part of today's "conservatism."

    This is why they are talking about creating an 80 officer continuously standing presence as one of the remedial measures. They are going to need that & more now.

    We live in an open society. Our enemies can relatively easily operate amongst us. The security pros must have been/be horrified at how clear it made it that the Capitol is a soft target.

    The powers that be won’t admit publicly that this is true, but it obviously is. Setting everything else aside, the riot on Jan 6 exposed that actual security at the Capitol was pretty nonexistent. One of our special ops teams could’ve waltzed in there in no time.

    This is Democrat theatre for sure. But I think it also separately reflects the unfortunate reality that the Capitol is likely not currently defensible against even a small but professionally trained force intent on killing our legislature if assembled by any one of our enemies.

    BREAKING: Capitol Police ask that the National Guard remain at the U.S. Capitol for two more months, reflecting continued security concerns.

    Exactly. 👇🏻Girls who are not hyper “girly” at certain stages, aka tomboys, are still girls. Girls develop into women each in their own way & at their own pace. Stop trying to force girls into a single mold of femininity. It’s misogyny.

    What has written about wrt the disappearing lesbian may also be happening to plain ol’ tomboys. There are lots of ways to be a girl.

    Boy am I having to block a number of idiots today. It’s like people are having conversations with themselves on your timeline. 🙄

    Thank you for conceding that Trump turns on anyone he considers insufficiently loyal.

    Wrong.

    Conservatives have never cared about girls or women's sports (or gis or women, for that matter) outside of finding a reason to regulate and control women's bodies, which is their absolute favorite thing to do.

    If we do, we will attract more people from the groups that Republicans have historically struggled with, because our core & enduring *political* ideas - liberty, opportunity, equality - are better than the Left's ideas.

    We are limiting our strength if we don't, which is dumb, gives the Left too much power & unnecessarily restricts our engagement in popular culture - which is upstream from politics. We're the party who should be championing the idea of the "loyal dissent."

    As a philosophical libertarian, I find this uncontroversial. Some things are political, some are personal, some are religious/faith based. Those are 3 different things. As long as we agree on the first, we should be able to tolerate differences on the other two.

    This is a smart column by Kurt. 👇As modern Republicans, we should be fine that we don't all agree 100% on everything - we aren't Leftists. Gay Republicans & traditional-marriage Republicans are . . . Republicans. We're a political party, not an ideology.

    This is probably at least in part because some of them are charged in DC Superior Court rather than in US District Court. Superior Court is not on Pacer, but is available online on its own site.

    The Department of Justice says 300 folks have been arrested related to crimes on January 6th/Capitol Hill. More than 330 have been charged. Only 268 are publicly available on PACER. The discrepancy speaks to the abject failure of public access to its court records. No one cares.

    Hahahaha. Nope. They’ve been calling themselves that since the 1930s. This is just the latest round of their nonsense.

    Trump, the Right-wing media, and Right-wing social media pushed the "Antifa" label more than anyone else. It is their boogyman.
