(43 posts)49. I've never had this feeling...
...like the earth has shifted on its axis, something is fundamentally wrong. Every rightwing yapper talks about nothing but coming investigations, investigations already going on. I'm living in a world in which a 16 year old boy has mighty WAPO hopping round over a 250 million dollar lawsuit, where a principle is getting sued for sending a baby magat home with his t shirt, what the fuck is going on?
Why is the media so quiet? Are they scared???? Here's the thing, the first story about these 'great job numbers' or some designer offering to dress Melania you better start packing. If those media turds start worrying about being sued rather than doing their jobs where does that leave us?? I am terrified and don't know where this is going!

Where is the mechanism in government to back up court rulings? That's why courts are under siege.
