Abbott and DeSantis are cynically doing election year stunts to keep their base whipped up to drive them to the polls in November.  Abbott bussing families to DC and New York, and DeSantis flying them to Martha’s Vineyard violate more than a few state and federal laws against human trafficking, crossing state lines with undocumented immigrants, misappropriation of taxpayer funds, and  others.  Clearly, both governor’s believe they are above the law (like TFG) and are thumbing their noses at immigration and law enforcement agencies.

I say, fine.  Don’t go after the governors’ lawbreaking (yet), but cut off access to the services they’re using to illegally dump immigrants around the country.  Let’s use the same tactics that anti-choice politicians use…get some our own pawns to use.  Go after those who are enabling this unprecedented cruelty, the drivers and owners of the buses and the pilots and owners of the aircraft being used.  They KNOW they’re transporting undocumented immigrants (or should know), so federal authorities should go after them and indict them for trafficking.  Pilots convicted of crimes lose their licenses.  Drivers may not lose their license but will certainly lose their jobs.  Both will certainly face jail time.  If we do that, no bus company or air charter company will touch this business.  Problem solved, at least until the governors get prosecuted.

The only way to fight fire is with fire.  The hallmark of TFGist Republicans is cruelty and dickishness.  The only way to stop them is to cut off their resources and make them pay personally.

This morning’s news is disgusting on so many levels. Using people as political pawns. Flying them to a tiny island far from urban centers where more facilities and help are available. Using FL taxpayers’ dollars to pull the stunt. And you know a flight to Martha’s Vineyard isn’t cheap! Your constituents in FL must be so proud, Gov. DeSantis. Aren’t you something! BTW you obviously haven’t been to Massachusetts, where there are plenty of hard-working immigrants. Kudos to MV for doing their best to help these poor souls. I hate starting my morning angry. I haven’t even finished my first cup of coffee out here on the left coast. It will be a cold day in h-e-double hockey sticks before I ever set foot in FL again.

Okay, the Alex Jones trial against the families who filed in Connecticut is being live-streamed in Connecticut.  Mark is there but no official part of the trial.

Will somebody clear this up for me?

Today TFG’s lawyers filed a response to the DOJ’s filing in the matter of TFG vs. The United States of America. In that response they injected a new and intriguing argument with regard to the Presidential Records Act.

They claim that in a clause from the law, there is a flaw in the law’s wording.

Quoting: “…the Archivist of the United States shall assume responsibility for the custody, control. and preservation of and access to. the Presidential records of that President”.
(emphasis is mine).

Their argument? The law fails to use the word “must” instead of “shall” because they mean different things, even in the context of the clause’s wording.

I’m no legal eagle, but I see both words as directives. And I’ve been told by legalese people that should know that there is no difference between “must” and “shall”. Am I wrong?

Anyone beg to differ?

Jeff McKellop is a January 6th vigilante. In fact, he is kind of a standout. He shoved a flagpole tip into the face of one police officer and then threw one like a spear at another one. The Department of Justice has several dozen pictures of him being a terrorist.

Like TFG, he thinks that wearing a MAGA hat makes him immune to all laws and social niceties.

However, McKellop says he cannot go to trial on these charges. Why, you ask. Joe Biden.

McKellop claims that President Biden’s September 1st speech poisoned the nation and now there’s no one in the country who could be trusted to sit in judgement of him.

And that, my friends and countrymen, is why we can never let MAGAs get elected to anything. They think we are all like them.
