OK, this irritating back-and-forth between Miss El Nuevo Herald and the DOJ really needs to stop. Somebody please overrule the bitch for good.

Judge rules Trump lawyers don’t have to clarify Mar-a-Lago document claims

Special master Raymond Dearie had told Donald Trump’s attorneys to address whether documents were, as Trump has claimed, planted or declassified

sure it's what to be expected of a midterm election. but in the current circumstances, it's downright ominous.

Am I just missing something (like Powell/Pepper) or haven't the "experts" been predicting Red House for weeks? A Blue Senate is still a possibility, apparently.

But yeah, The Insane Party can still do well, in spite of the fact that it is Insane.

Would that make the U.S. Capitol Building a mental asylum?

Kwarteng backpedals.

Nicola Sturgeon: "UK gov u-turns on top tax rate abolition because it's a 'distraction'. Morally wrong and hugely costly for millions is a better description."

yes nevertheless i just watched him give a defiant speech defending the supply-sider "pro-business" approach of the conservatives and he got a standing ovation by members of his own party's conference
.
the backpedal is just in tax cuts for top earners, otherwise he's on the same ideological "programme" as they spell it.

yes it's normal for the opposition to take the house but the nutbags we have these days make it even more dreadful than in the days of the tea party or newt fucking gingrich.

i mean these fuckers get more and more extreme every year that passes. i have no idea where things will end. fascist takeover and national suicide, i guess.

[Skuj]

I gotta say that Liz Truss completely tripped and fell over at the fucking start line.

Someone was blaming this tax policy / u-turn on the Queen. You see, when she died, everyone in the UK Government became terribly confused and distracted.

That should make everyone feel a bit better, right?

Agreed. They'll try to impeach Biden, and hang Fauci, and...oh....her emails.

just saw alert that trumpo asked supreme lackeys to bail him out of maralago treason disgrace

Former president Donald Trump’s lawyers asked the Supreme Court on Tuesday to intervene in the Mar-a-Lago documents-seizure case, saying the special master appointed in the matter should be allowed to review the sensitive materials.

The filing came after a unanimous three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit granted the Justice Department’s request to keep about 100 classified documents separate from the special master’s review. The department has launched a high-stakes investigation to determine if the former president or his advisers mishandled national security secrets, or hid or destroyed government records.

In the ruling last month, the panel — two judges nominated by Trump and one by President Barack Obama — rejected Trump’s argument that the classified documents seized Aug. 8 might be his property, rather than the government’s. The appeals court also blocked an earlier order by U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon that the special master review the documents to see if they should be shielded from investigators because of executive or attorney-client privilege.

As part of the 11th Circuit’s decision, the panel allowed the criminal investigation to use the seized documents, something Cannon had previously barred. Trump’s filing seeks only to reverse the appeals court’s ruling on the special master’s access to the documents, not the part of the decision concerning the investigation.

This is a developing story and will be updated.

SCOTUS said "fuck you".

And another Jan 6th Hearing today yet again resulted in startling revelations, and yet again defense from his endless number of supporters in Congress.

Here we are in fucking October 2022 and this moron still has an iron grip on the GOP. It's mind-boggling.
