Examining the material impact of MAGA.

[CowboyTed]

All that deflection to not have to actually admit it's never been independent, and your side lies about it.

There has been a norm to have them working independent as not to tarnish cases...

I am hoping the prosecutor isn't thrown of the case in Comey because I want her to loose for selective prosecution... Trump's ill discipline will have Comey's trial dismissed.. And Latifa James....
Jack Smith can call Trump a big fat **** wit of a criminal and nothing will happen..

 

[CowboyTed]

Never in American history has any person been as persecuted and prosecuted ... and for no reason. Strictly political because Trump's the biggest threat to the Deep State and the creeping socialism/communism that the Democrats thirst for.

Get ******* real...

Ever look at the evidence...

Get ******* real...

I have.
It's called "Reality", a planet that few Democrats or Leftists have ever visited.

We've gone way beyond the traditional spectacularly annoying partisan back and forth tug of war between the parties.

This is structural and authoritarian. This has people around the world sensing the end of us, no longer trusting us, literally afraid of us, and moving on without us wherever they can. They have to play along for now in many areas, but that's only until we are replaced.

Millions face ‘huge sticker shock’ when ACA open enrollment starts Nov. 1​

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/31/aca-open-enrollment-starts-enhanced-subsidies.html

When red state people who receive SNAP benefits and are covered through ACA plans feel the effects of what is about to happen how will Dotard explain his refusal to negotiate?

He won't have to. The blame will fall squarely where it belongs, on Schumer, who has refused all negotiations.

Keep in mind that the Republicans have offered multiple bills to open the government back up for business and the democrats have refused every single one.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

The Justice Department is part of the executive branch. It cannot be independent of the President and the President's powers.

The whole trope of it being independent is not based on the Constitution nor is it based in any Law.

And as usual the reprehensible right attempts to defend the indefensible.

A federal judge in Rhode Island orders the Trump administration to pay SNAP benefits during the shutdown.​

His order came mere minutes after another federal court in Massachusetts handed an early victory to about two dozen states, which similarly had sued to force the release of food stamp funding. In that case, Judge Indira Talwani, of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, gave the administration until Monday to explain how it would fund benefits.

“Congress has put money in an emergency fund,” Judge Talwani said during a hearing in the case this week. “It’s hard for me to understand how this isn’t an emergency, when there’s no money and a lot of people are needing their SNAP benefits.”

But it remained unclear how the judges’ rulings might shape the immediate fate of the program, which serves roughly one in eight people in the United States. In defending its actions, the Trump administration had previously suggested that it could take weeks just to provide payments in November, and that the amounts could be half as much as recipients usually receive.

The twin court defeats amounted to a major rebuke of the White House, where President Trump’s leading deputies have maintained that they could do little to save SNAP — even after taking unusual steps to rearrange the budget to sustain other programs while the government remained closed.

"Lawfare" is a word that loosely describes the tactics trump used to stay out of prison for the crimes he committed. Prosecution is the word that describes what Jack Smith was pursuing by indicting trump for the crimes against the state he committed.

your shit talk is noted.

THe fact remains. THe justice department lost all respect when they went along with lawfare.

 

[berg80]

Never in American history has any person been as persecuted and prosecuted ... and for no reason.

You sound just as stupid, brainwashed, and naive as Karoline Leavitt.

 

[berg80]

The only lawfare applied was on trump's part. The is no credible evidence to the contrary.

Your shit talk has been noted. And dismissed.

The fact remains. THe reality is that the justice department, among many other institutions,

lost all respect they had, because of the behavior of leftards like yourself, who choose to be leftards first and their job not at all.

They betrayed their professional and ethical responsibilities, not to mention this nation.


**** THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT.

We need to purge everyone like you from the government and rebuild it from teh gorund up.

On the day that I was appointed, I pledged that I would exercise independent judgment, follow the best traditions of the Department of Justice, and conduct my work expeditiously and thoroughly to reach whatever outcome the facts and law dictated. With the aid of an outstanding team, that is what I did. Upon my appointment, I organized a staff of experienced career federal prosecutors, and together we conducted the investigations and subsequent prosecutions under our mandate, consistent with the Department's traditions of integrity and nonpartisanship that have guided all of us throughout our careers.

Attorney General Edward H. Levi, who assumed the Department's helm in the wake of Watergate, summed up those traditions best:

[O]ne paramount concern must always guide our way. This is the keeping of the faith in the essential decency and even-handedness in the law, a faith which is the strength of the law and which must be continually renewed or else it is lost. In a society that too easily accepts the notion that everything can be manipulated, it is important to make clear that the administration of federal justice seeks to be impartial and fair ....

Address to the Los Angeles County Bar Association, Los Angeles, CA (Nov. 18, 1976). Attorney General Levi's remarks, shared 46 years to the day before my appointment, ring as true now as they did then.

I have been a career prosecutor in local, national, and international settings over the last three decades, working shoulder to shoulder with hundreds of prosecutors in that time. The prosecutors and staff of the Special Counsel's Office are, in my estimation, without peer in terms of accomplishment, capability, judgment, and work ethic. More importantly in my book, they are people of great decency and the highest personal integrity. The intense public scrutiny of our Office, threats to their safety, and relentless unfounded attacks on their character and integrity did not deter them from fulfilling their oaths and professional obligations. These are intensely good people who did hard things well. I will not forget the sacrifices they made and the personal resilience they and their families have shown over the last two years. Our country owes them a debt of gratitude for their unwavering service and dedication to the rule of law. Without pause they have upheld the Department's commitment to the impartial and independent pursuit of justice. For that, I am grateful-as I know you are as well.

Staffed by some of the most experienced prosecutors in the Department, my Office operated under the same Department policies and procedures that guide all federal prosecutors. The regulations under which I was appointed required that we do so, see 28 C.F.R. § 600.7(a), and our work benefited from those processes. The Department has long recognized that proceeding with "uniformity of policy ... is necessary to the prestige of federal law." Robert H. Jackson, "The Federal Prosecutor" (April 1, 1940). As a result, throughout our work we regularly consulted the Justice Manual, the Department's publicly available guidebook on policies and procedures, and adhered to its requirements.

Our work rested upon the fundamental value of our democracy that we exist as "a government of laws, and not of men." John Adams, Novanglus, No. VII at 84 (Mar. 6, 1775). In making decisions as Special Counsel, I considered as a first principle whether our actions would contribute to upholding the rule of law, and acted accordingly. Our committed adherence to the rule of law is why we not only followed Department policies and procedures, but strictly observed legal requirements and dutifully respected the judicial decisions and precedents our prosecutions prompted.
