Something that will make you feel better about the Courts. Really.

I've posted about this before. I am making my way through It's Time to Fight Dirty by David Faris.

In addition to a vicious, righteous skewering of the GOP, this book includes an ACTION PLAN. Things we can actually do, particularly with respect to alleviating the court-packing Mitch McConnell and the GOP are enacting now.

I don't want to hear any defeatist attitudes! (Oh, that will never work....) Faris and others have applied themselves to this problem and come up with some damn smart ideas. The first step to fighting back is having a plan. This is a great place to start and will truly make you feel hopeful that there is a way out.

Let's learn this plan. Let's become experts on it. Let's make sure we share it with others, including fellow activists and our elected Dems.

Nothing would give me more pure joy than watching conservative court zealots cry as we whip their butts before they even know what is happening.

Cohen's description of how trump orders people to do illegal things reminds me of Charles Manson

he was crazy/conniving enough to make others do the dirty work without getting his own hands dirty, without direct point-blank orders

I feel like Dems could have done a better job organizing and selecting questions

seems unfocused and like they are missing the really big issues

no questions on Epstein. No questions on Broidy. There is so much Cohen must know, but no one is asking.

Plus they really could be doing a better job tying their questions to a larger point or conclusion - as my old boss would ask, "What's the so-what of that?" WHY is this important? What is the bottom line? Kind of missing for the benefit of those who many not be fully versed as DUers are.

because of Avenatti and Stormy Daniels, Michael Cohen got nabbed by SDNY and here we are today

regardless of other Avenatti issues, it is kind of undeniable that he and the courageous Stormy Daniels deserve thanks

remember - trump said Rep. Omar should resign for "Benjamins" tweet. But silent on Gaetz. huh!

trump tacitly encourages Matt Gaetz to tweet threats at Michael Cohen and his family

remember when GOP called the Whitaker testimony an "exercise in character assassination"?

and yet that is the entire focus of the GOP's sad, sick efforts today
