2. I'm floored the DOJ is going along with this farce...

And that basic human rights can be nullified by striking down one court decision.

I guess I was never living in the Nation I thought I was…

Well, I have some thinking to do.

If anyone needs me (HAHAHAHAHAHA) I will be listening to the following on repeat.


Lawyers in Love

Song by Jackson Browne


I can't keep up with what's been going down
I think my heart must just be slowing down
Among the human beings, in their designer jeans
Am I the only one who hears the screams?
And the strangled crys of lawyers in love
God sends his spaceships to America, the beautiful
They land at six o'clock and there we are, the dutiful
Eating from TV trays, tuned into happy days
Waiting for world war three while Jesus slaves
To the mating calls of lawyers in love

Ooh-sha-la-la-ooh
Ooh-sha-la-la-ooh
(Ah-oh), ooh-sha-la-la-ooh
Ooh-sha-la-la-ooh

Last night I watched the news from Washington, the Capitol
The Russians escaped while we weren't watching them
Like Russians do
Now we've got all this bloom, we needn't got the room
And I hear the U.S.S.R will be open soon
As vacation land for lawyers in love
Lawyers in love

Ooh-sha-la-la-ooh
Ooh-sha-la-la-ooh
(Ah-oh), ooh-sha-la-la-ooh
Ooh, sha lala ooo ooh

Lawyers in love.

3. I Wonder if Anyone Asked Him First...

…if he’d be willing to accept this exceptional responsibility, especially at his age. I’ve been hearing good things about him on MSNBC, but there has to be a reason Trump chose him. In any case, I hope that the DOJ proceeds with their appeal to this sideshow.

4. I remember Chuck Rosenberg talking glowingly about Barr when

he was first appointed. Since then he has admitted he was wrong, but that was my first thought upon hearing they accepted.

Didn’t know that. Rosenberg seems to be a big advocate of Dearie. Hope he’s a little more cautious this time.

6. I really, really hope so. There has to be others here that remember him saying it on Nicole's show

and Rachel's, I believe down the road he also apologized on those shows.
It scares me, because there's more corruption than we can even begin to imagine. I mean stolen nuclear documents, who would have even imagined that?

8. I heard that he was still an "active" judge.

And the Trump team had submitted his name as "retired" judge. They may ask that he be disqualified because of their error? They would like to put forth another judge to replace him. Of course, it is all about delay.

They were probably shocked that the DOJ accepted one of their choices. More than likely, they thought the DOJ would automatically find any of their picks unacceptable?

But, it may all be for nought. Because the DOJ has already made known their plans to appeal to the Eleventh Circuit to remove the classified documents from the scrutiny of the Special Master.
