AP also told Trump knew

One official said the administration discussed several potential responses, but the White House has yet to authorize any step.

The intelligence officials told the AP that Trump was briefed on the bounty matter earlier this year; Trump denied that, tweeting Sunday neither he nor Vice President Mike Pence had been briefed. Trump tweeted Sunday night he was just told intelligence officials didn’t report the information to him because they didn’t find it credible.
Drunk and stupid is no way to be remembered but it is an easy way to forget.

Scary that LA case was only 5-4. All that lip service conservative justices paid to precedent is just that. Lip service.

It's always been nonsense. Their hero Scalia was regularly inconsistent and incoherent in his service of right wing ideology.

Anybody who still thinks "judicial philosophy" matters is dumb.

Lancaster represents! On a national talk show about DC statehood "Bob" called on to decry its unconstitutionality! Then said it is a Democrat power grab plot.

It is unconstitutional. DC statehood would require an Amendment. This is all just for show.

Scary but lucky it wasn't 5-4 the other way. This decision is probably going to set republicans off more than any other so far.

Retrocession of DC is probably the best answer, but is still complicated and Maryland isn't interested so not gonna happen.

Iran wants an Interpol Red Notice on Trump. I assume this type of game gets played all the time.

I shared a link to this (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/worl ... 91121.html) along with the comment "the craziness is not going away."

A family member sent this in reply:
Definitely not going away. Going to get worse before the rebels are getting away with it.

My response:
rebels?

Their response
Yep the people just doing what they want, destroying things, demanding things and acting violently and with intimidation if it is not granted, tracking people down at their homes, taking over streets, burning things down at will, ignoring laws and proper protocol etc. with no recourse. yes rebels. Now that there are no repercussions, it is guaranteed to escalate. This is just getting started.

So, uh, I guess my PA vote is just going to cancel out theirs.

Yeah it’s exactly what it is, a bunch of people straight up saying “that’s it I’m going back to 4chan!” Why did you bother leaving if it was so much better?
