    Don't bullshit me bro, you don't have to give a **** about that to read the post but nice try.

    You are just lazy or ignored it because you have nothing to say. No wonder you're defending it, you're attacking me personally.

    I bet Nook is loving that you're defending him only because you approve ad hominem attacks and relate to the one time he did it. Good job bro. :D

    Man Baby gotta Man Baby.

    Imagine if a D WH barred Fox News, since they tend not report facts ... vibes, and just the vibes. The SCWs would lose their collective sh*t and declare the end of the work or some such.


    White House bars AP reporter from Oval Office because of AP style policy on ‘Gulf of America’

    The White House blocked an Associated Press reporter from an event in the Oval Office on Tuesday after demanding the news agency alter its style on the Gulf of Mexico, which President Donald Trump has ordered renamed the Gulf of America.

    The reporter, whom the AP would not identify, tried to enter the White House event as usual Tuesday afternoon and was turned away. Later, a second AP reporter was barred from a late-evening event in the White House’s Diplomatic Reception Room.

    The highly unusual ban, which Trump administration officials had threatened earlier Tuesday unless the AP changed the style on the Gulf, could have constitutional free-speech implications.

    Julie Pace, AP’s senior vice president and executive editor, called the administration’s move unacceptable.

    “It is alarming that the Trump administration would punish AP for its independent journalism,” Pace said in a statement. “Limiting our access to the Oval Office based on the content of AP’s speech not only severely impedes the public’s access to independent news, it plainly violates the First Amendment.”

    The Trump administration made no immediate announcements about the moves, and there was no indication any other journalists were affected. Trump has long had an adversarial relationship with the media. On Friday, the administration ejected a second group of news organizations from Pentagon office space.

    The Trump Trial of Danielle Sassoon
    The young prosecutor behaved well in resigning, not so her bosses at the Justice Department.
    By The Editorial Board
    Feb. 14, 2025 at 5:46 pm ET

    The resignations of prosecutors at the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York this week are playing in the press as typical “resistance” to Donald Trump. They’re far from that, and the real story speaks well of the prosecutors but sends a rotten message to any lawyer who might want to join the Trump Administration.

    The story begins with the memo this week by acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove instructing the Southern District to drop criminal charges without prejudice against New York Mayor Eric Adams. The memo cited two grounds for dismissal: The prosecution was an example of lawfare because Mr. Adams had criticized President Biden’s immigration policies, and Mr. Trump needs Mr. Adams to help on immigration enforcement.

    ***
    The Trump transition had recently made Danielle Sassoon the acting U.S. Attorney until Mr. Trump’s nominee is confirmed. But Ms. Sassoon had watched the prosecution of Mr. Adams and didn’t agree with the Bove memo. We know from sources close to her that she agonized over how to respond. She decided to send a memo to newly confirmed Attorney General Pam Bondi explaining her views, and seeking a meeting to discuss the matter.

    Ms. Sassoon is a member of the Federalist Society and clerked for two conservative pillars of the judiciary, Justice Antonin Scalia and Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. She led the prosecution of crypto fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried and is a rising star in conservative legal circles.

    Her memo to Ms. Bondi explained in detail that the prosecution wasn’t a case of weaponized politics and why it is improper to dismiss a case based on a quid pro quo for policy cooperation by Mr. Adams. “Because the law does not support a dismissal, and because I am confident that Adams has committed the crimes with which he is charged,” Ms. Sassoon wrote, “I cannot agree to seek a dismissal driven by improper considerations.”

    If the meeting with the AG didn’t take place, Ms. Sassoon said she’d resign. This is how a public official is supposed to behave when disagreeing on policy or ethical principle. If you can’t in good conscience follow instructions, you should offer to resign so your bosses can do what they want.

    That’s where this should have ended. We should add that we believe Mr. Trump, as the President who supervises the Justice Department, has the right to order a prosecution dismissed. If he thinks cooperation on immigration matters more than fighting political corruption, he can make that call, however unwise.

    But Mr. Bove didn’t leave it there. He responded with a blistering letter to Ms. Sassoon that threatened her career and those of assistant U.S. Attorneys who worked on the Adams case. “The [assistant U.S. Attorneys] principally responsible for this case are being placed on off-duty, administrative leave pending investigations by the Office of the Attorney General and the Office of Professional Responsibility, both of which will also evaluate your conduct,” Mr. Bove wrote.

    An investigation because she resigned on principle? Really?

    One of the assistant attorneys who worked the Adams case, Hagan Scotten, responded with his own resignation letter to Mr. Bove: “No system of ordered liberty can allow the Government to use the carrot of dismissing charges, or the stick of threatening to bring them again, to induce an elected official to support its policy objectives.”

    Mr. Scotten is a Special Forces veteran and winner of two bronze stars who clerked for then Judge Brett Kavanaugh on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals and Chief Justice John Robertson the Supreme Court.

    ***
    None of this reflects well on the Bondi Justice Department. Rather than accept a meeting with the leader of the most important U.S. Attorney’s office, the new AG passed the buck to her deputy awaiting Senate confirmation. That deputy then showed awful political judgment in a scorched-earth letter that turned an internal debate into a damaging spectacle.

    The Trump Administration is acting on its belief in the unitary executive that enforces discipline across the executive branch, and we sympathize with that goal. But one argument against the unitary executive is that there is no check on corruption. The Adams case, with its tolerance of alleged corruption, isn’t a good look to persuade judges ruling on its executive actions.

    Worse is the lesson for Administration lawyers. The message is that rather than exercise individual legal judgment, they’d simply better salute without cavil—or else the Administration will ruin their reputations.

    Mr. Trump was saved many times in his first term by lawyers willing to tell him when he was wrong. Let’s hope the trial of Danielle Sassoon isn’t the model for the next four years.

    Appeared in the February 15, 2025, print edition as 'The Trial of Danielle Sassoon'.

    I grew up in the church all my life, and know much more about the Bible than you ever will because you in like 20 words falsely misrepresented the Bible twice.

    You are exactly who Jesus warned against. Taking the lords name in vein by twisting the words to suit your political ambitions and hateful worldview.

    Taking the lords name in vein does not mean saying the word “goddamnit” like the evangelical church tries to make it out to be. It means doing exactly what you are doing here.

    The Bible just isn’t what people think it is. It’s not crap imo but it is just widely not understood and misrepresented as a political tool by those like CM who claim to know it the best.

    People need to wake up. The government is full of complicit corrupted puppets put in place by banks and people of power.

    Middle/lower class is hyper focused on Dem/Republican when in reality. Its a smoke screen to keep people blind to the fact that we are ultimately getting bled by our own government which is controlled by big banks. Everyone knows Nancy Pelosi insider trades. No repercussions. Mitch McConnel's net worth grows by the hour on a 175k salary. Its time we end the grift machine.

    We should embrace Elon exposing corruption. Its the closest we have come since JFK in seeing our true government in transparent form.

    I think the USA is at a true crossroads in history the more that comes out. We are truly living in the most interesting times of our History.
