It sucks that we’re living through a legit fascist takeover, but at least the fascists are collectively as dumb as a sack of wet hammers.
We must continue to fight the wet hammers at every opportunity. We can never relent, we must make their progress difficult or impossible.
They are incompetent, but the piles of money that push them forward is limitless, which means their efforts will also be limitless.
hey now, don’t insult sacks of wet hammers like that
Reported for insulting wet hammers. Enjoy your ban!
I'm not familiar with the mirror, or their reliability, so here's an article from NPR: https://www.npr.org/2025/11/24/g-s1-98612/trump-us-attorney-lindsey-halligan
That's what happens when you pick your cronies based on their looks and sycophantic tendencies, instead of experience and knowledge.
She was the only one stupid enough to actually try and go for it. All the other prosecutors they asked refused, I think some even resigned. She's a different kind of stupid I guess.
She’s a different kind of stupid I guess.
She's going to get a dozen book deals from conservative publishers. She'll land a talking head spot on FOX News. She'll hook up with Steven Mnuchin's cousin or get Baron Trump's baby in her or just marries a party mega-donor. Maybe she runs for AG in Virginia in 2029 and rides in on a Republican reactionary wave after President Pete Buttigieg shits the bed. If nothing else, they'll be posting jerk-off material of her on Grok for the next twenty years. I'm sure there's a way to monetize that.
If you think that's stupid, you're thinking she's playing a different game. Her card is punched.
She'll hook up with Steven Mnuchin's cousin
I'll have you know that John Oliver is happily married!
President Pete Buttigieg
Sweet merciful FSM, no!
The others were real lawyers, and didn't want to risk their law licenses. But she's not a real lawyer, with a mind-boggling case of Dunning-Kruger, so she was too stupid to know that most judges don't decide cases based on which side has a lawyer that might let them fuck her if they let her win, even though they know she won't.
People debasing themselves and ruining their careers is basically mandatory. Each is hoping for a more important government job or contract after. And if that fails there is always hate-blogging and Fox news.
The best part was that after Comey's case was dismissed, the Goldigger Whore Press Secty promised that this wasn't over, then Comey's lawyer (who is an actual real lawyer, not like the DoJs lawyer) announced that the statute of limitations has run out, and they can't touch him.
Basically: Case over, go fuck yourself.
So when they say "dismissed without prejudice", does that mean they can in theory be file charges again, but really they can't because SoL has lapsed?
Correct. In theory, there is a law that grants an extension to the statute of limitations in cases where an indictment is filled in time, and subsequently dismissed.
However, it is not clear if that is applicable here because one of the problems here was that prosecutor messed up the grand jury so badly, that there is a reasonable argument that Comey was never actually indighted.
This isn't likely to come up, because the other result was a ruling that Trump cannot keep on appointing interim US Attorneys, so the prosecutor to bring charges would either need to be Senate approved, or court appointed.
