Received this e-mail today from Attorney General candidate, Charlie Bailey’s (D. GA) campaign: Hi folks — Here’s what the Georgia GOP themselves have had to say about their new voter suppression laws — they’re not even trying to hide the obvious anymore: Gwinnett Elections Board Chairwoman Alice O’Lenick: “I'm like a...

This is too, too much. The schadenfreude! The sheer, sheer joy! CNN: President-elect Joe Biden has decided to nominate Judge Merrick Garland as attorney general, people familiar with the matter tell CNN, a long-awaited decision that was moved toward completion Wednesday as it became apparent that Democrats were on the...
Yep: x Congress must act immediately to rein in our lawless Attorney General. Barr should resign or face impeachment. And Congress should use spending power to defund the AGâÂÂs authority to interfere with anything that affects Trump, his friends, or his elections.â Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) February 12, 2020 Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.)...

Back in 1992, Pat Buchanan primaried incumbent President George H.W. Bush because, apparently, Bush wasn’t nearly racist enough. You may remember Buchanan. He was a nativist, xenophobic tub of nut butters who campaigned on a platform of fear and scapegoating. Thank God the GOP had too much sense to ever allow a...
Maybe it’s a good thing there’s a marginally credible attorney general candidate who thinks Donald Trump is totally, totally innocent. I don’t know if our tottering republic could withstand a Senate confirmation hearing featuring Jeanine Pirro or Rudy Giuliani or Mayor McCheese or whatever the fuck Trump’s aspartame-addled Wiffle-ball cerebrum might...
