Yep, the Durham report proves what we knew all along about the FBI and that they are seriously corrupt and biased as hell

While I think we get it and understand the legal fine point of it,  it's obvious that Russia, ie Putin, interfered with the election with the intention of helping Trump for very good reasons on their part. Obviously, Trump's comments calling for Russia's assistance on "Hillary's emails" and the like would have only fueled those reasons and Trump's actions in Helsinki and NATO buttressed them. 
One could venture the opinion that's evidence of passive collusion on the part of Trump and active collusion on the part of Russia...

The Deep State, alive and well.

Posted By Rod Kaufman
Lol! So, RICH, did the "Deep State" do away with Comer's whistleblower witness, too? 
the so-called Durham report, in which he failed to explain why the cases he brought to trial resulted in full acquittals, is nothing more than a seven million
      dollar op-ed. Here's the real deal: "Internal Justice watchdog finds that Russia probe was justified, not biased against Trump"

There used to be a time when real classical liberals and even the RINOs believed in the Rule of law until..... GET TRUMP came along

Held without bond?

I need to know.  FWIW, I think he'll beat Bragg in court, but I sure do not see any due process violations.
Jim,
Please, ya already know Rich "thinks" the Jan 6th "patriots" are rotting in prison without due process so it obviously follows that Trump, who says he'll pardon them if re-elected, isn't being afforded due process in any adverse circumstance in his life.

Dems Do Well In Special Elections

Posted By Rod Kaufman
"A good night for Dems"
"Democrats had a lot to celebrate on Tuesday night."
"In one of the most closely watched races of the year, Democratic candidate Heather Boyd beat Republican Katie Ford in the special election for a Pennsylvania state House seat outside Philadelphia, allowing them to keep control of the lower chamber."
"Meanwhile, in Jacksonville, Fla., Democrats scored an upset after Donna Deegan (D) won the mayoral race there against Republican Daniel Davis, who was backed by DeSantis."
"Meanwhile, in Colorado Springs, independent candidate Yemi Mobolade won the mayoral race against Republican Wayne Williams, a former Colorado secretary of state. The election delivered yet another blow to Republicans given that El Paso County, where Colorado Springs is situated, was a county that former President Trump won by 11 points in 2020."

Judge Ho In Texas

Posted By Rod Kaufman
THE SCOTUS "justice" with THE highest unfavorability rating, unseating "justice Kavanaugh", yup, you guessed it, it's Mr Walmart himself:
https://thehill.com/homenews/4019788-poll-thomas-has-highest-unfavorability-on-supreme-court/
And the guy refers to himself as "normal stock", too. And he makes a point of it by driving his RV into Walmart parking lots that he says he prefers over vacationing at beaches and in the mountains. How could you possibly doubt that?...

No, his ratings are down for what's been uncovered on by the press and not because of it. A man gets caught in his own doing...

Judge Ho In Texas

Posted By Rod Kaufman
This is one of the three conservative judges, and one of the two Trump appointees of the appeals court that's currently hearing the abortion pill case in Texas. The abortion pill itself has a safety record greater than that of tylenol, penicillin or viagra but what's a fact to conservative judge Ho who had this to say today:
“When we celebrated Mother’s Day, were we celebrating illness?”
https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4009689-judge-in-abortion-pill-case-asks-if-mothers-day-is-celebrating-illness/
WTF?
Oh, and guess where Ho was sworn in? In anti-abortionist's Harlan Crow's home in front of Clarence Thomas. Do ya think they all went on vacation together while RVing in Clarence's motorhome in a local Walmart parking lot?...

"Rampant child sexual abuse is occurring in churches — not at drag shows"
"A new report alleges widespread sexual abuse by the Catholic clergy in Illinois. Will conservatives call for a ban on minors in churches?"
