Hit The Button


I guess we can hope they're having good conversations with the appropriate people at SCOTUS and others in their respective supervisory echelons.

With 45* and Barr and the asshole Republicans in congress all lined up to keep pressing towards a full blown constitutional crisis, somebody damned sure better have something up their sleeves besides sweaty armpits.

WaPo:

The head of the Federal Judges Association is taking the extraordinary step of calling an emergency meeting to address the intervention in politically sensitive cases by President Trump and Attorney General William P. Barr.

U.S. District Judge Cynthia M. Rufe, the Philadelphia-based judge who heads the voluntary association of around 1,100 life-term federal judges, told USA Today that the issue “could not wait.” The association, founded in 1982, ordinarily concerns itself with matters of judicial compensation and legislation affecting the federal judiciary.

The walls are closing in on 45* and his criminal gang, and Barr has been busy from the very beginning of his tenure trying to eat away at the system that keeps these assholes at bay.

Push is coming to shove.

Unfortunately, if this continues to go the way it's going - the way it's gone in other places - with the press and certain prosecutors getting closer to breaking things open, we can anticipate an "accident" befalling someone in the not-too-distant future, or maybe the "unpleasantness" will manifest itself as some kompromat.

Fake lord knows what's coming, but something's coming that.

And while that someone may not be seen as terribly important or central to the story, I guarantee whatever shitty thing happens to them will be meant as an unmistakable warning.

If there are still Republicans who aren't completely in the bag already, they'd best be finding their balls in a big fuckin' hurry.

Maybe it's not quite time to hit the panic button, but let's make real fuckin' sure we know where it is.
