Let's all remind ourselves once again of Keith Olbermann's immortal saying: Democracy is preserved less by the noble efforts of those who would defend it than by the total incompetence of those who wish to destroy it.
Great discussion of the inept federal prosecution cases by taRUMP administration of his enemies by Andrew Weiss and you, Rick Wilson. Extremely cold today in IL Thanks again
ALOHA. From the COCONUT WIRELESS .................HO HO HO.... HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you all ...... Be safe .... Happy happy Joy joy ...... Mele Kalikimaka and Hao Le Makahiki Hou ..... From the land of fire and ice .... ............................. Take care to you and yours ............................................ ALOHA......
all of these processes and procedures.... taint teams... senior colleagues supporting and directing junior colleagues... the slowness of the law... the levels of the judiciary....the number and complexity of statutes themselves... the formulae of ratification that Mike Pence read through ritually state by state to affirm the election results... these ARE the deep state... the material constitutive reality of the deep state... America voted against this... and it's getting what it wanted... the paradox of the denial of the will of the people AS the will of the people... the majority of voting Americans have bought the deal... capitalism means greed... the ultimate question is always what will make me richer.... and the question of what will make me more free is secondary... if these processes which constitute the deep state make me richer let them stand... if the corruption of a giant orange Pere Ubu will make me richer let's go there instead... this is the underlying issue in all of this.... it's capitalism vs democracy... and a country that has always equated the two doesn't know what to do as the former is literally trumped by the latter ... Americans are eating their own shit... and what a grand banquet it is...
As always, Thank you Rick and special thanks to Andrew Weissmann.
