QOTD -- Heroes And Zeroes

 

"... The fact this prosecution went forward at all tells us more about the administration’s character than any of its lofty pronouncements about 'law and order.'

"The same Trump crowd that turns blind eyes to real abuses — corruption, perjury, the daily vandalism of reason — will leap from its golden MAGA chaise lounge the moment a protester hurls a hoagie. To these MAGA lunatics, a citizen’s right to dissent is conditional upon silence and servility. Toss a subway sandwich, and you’ve struck at the very fabric of the republic!

"Fortunately, the jury was having none of it. In their wisdom, or perhaps their ordinary human amusement, they found that a sandwich striking an armored agent produces no “bodily injury” except to the delicate dignity of officialdom.."-- David Shuster, BlueAmp, on "The Sandwich That Beat Trump's DOJ."  When it's not pursuing non- existent "crimes" as part of the Malignant Fascist's revenge and retribution campaign, these DOJ zeroes are wasting government time and taxpayer's money on even more  frivolous, loser prosecutions like the one against "The Sandwich Guy."  Meanwhile, the MF is busy soiling the Constitution;  pardoning violent J6 insurrectionists, crony Republican scammers, and international crypto criminals;  corruptly enriching himself and his family "like no one's seen before," and more.

Shuster was the reporter who broke the news that multiple Republican members of Congress heard from their FBI/ DOJ sources that the MF's appearances in the Epstein files were "especially compromising." That's the real prosecution we need.

Kudos. . . .

To the excellent David Shuster, who demolished neocon apologist Fouad Ajami and right wing nutball Congressman Dan Burton on last night's "Hardball." I tuned in expecting to raise my blood pressure watching Tweety suck up to a Rethug, but was delighted that substitute Shuster was in full combat mode with both Ajami and Burton. He cut both of them off when they started to recite their Rethug talking points and forced them to deal with facts. They weren't happy. Burton looked like he was going to walk off in a huff. Imagine the indignity of having to deal with facts and the truth! MSNBC has to give Shuster his own prime time hour.
