Ed Martin, protector of pedophile priests, failed governor's secretary of state, and multiple loser in state elections. Only trump could make him seem relevant.

Holy guacamole, he's worse than I thought. I left Missouri over a decade ago but his name is memorable. I never could understand why he wouldn't go away, he was waiting for an enabler.

Ed Martin is barred in Missouri, I believe. Hope every MO attorney reading this will file an ethics complaint for his clear breaches of the code. Same for anywhere else he's licensed.

"Activist legal group the 65 Project filed a bar complaint on Thursday against Edward Martin, interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, in Missouri, where he is licensed to practice law, a day after Reuters reported the potential conflict."

"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake". The incompetents in Trump's romper room DOJ have made it impossible for Trump to appoint a special counsel to persecute Biden, and that is as it should be!

Don't worry. They'll get around to it. Fascists always do.

We depend on your expertise and experience to keep the spotlight on the current malfeasances being undertaken by the DOJ stooges whose fealty to Trump is such that it negates all other fealties, especially including to our Constitution and the history of subsequent lawmaking in this country. But Mr. Litman, my burning question of the day is not so much about lawmaking as law enforcement. Who among current Federal employees is currently authorized to arrest, detain and prosecute those who are presently flouting our laws by the dozen?

I second Leigh’s question. It’s Federal Marshals right? Can’t they stop that guy from taking down USAID letters on the headquarters building? Block DOGE access?

The US Marshal’s Service is under the DOJ and part of the Executive branch. Unfortunately for the country and the rule of law right now. The Pino will simply order that the US Marshal’s Service, through the DOJ, not carry out its duties, including enforcing Federal Court orders, except as he dictates. This is truly the last guardrail left. If the US Marshal’s Service fails — and it will in this instance — the end of this country is imminent.

A great question! I was wondering the very same thing. Is there NO-ONE who can STOP this lunacy???

U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols on Friday, February 7, 2025, ordered Secretary of State Marco Rubio to:

reinstate 500 USAID workers

stop putting 2,200 USAID workers on administrative leave, and

stop recalling 1,400 USAID workers from overseas posts.

Nichols also pointed out that Trump’s own legal representatives could not and would not offer (risking perjury in court) a single piece of evidence to back up Trump’s USAID “corruption and fraud” claims.

Suffering extreme but typical “diarrhée verbale”, Trump has gurgling blowouts when “fermer la bouche” is indicated. Trump made up these accusations.

We will recovery following a known course of action. We will grow in numbers by gathering the reformers in their party. We will grow numbers, diversity, and socioeconomic stratas. https://open.substack.com/pub/hotbuttons/p/krewe-kleptos-parade-route-psycho?r=3m1bs&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

Is there anyone looking into any possible connection between Bondi and Cannon? The stench emanating from Florida is VERY strong, and I smell it from both of them.

Tammany Hall comes to Washington. Makes Nixon look like a good guy. I can't believe Martin is long for this job. I do understand that the GOP Senate would need to grow a backbone however. So.....maybe wishful thinking.

Sadly, I can't see THAT happening, any time soon. It's time THEY honoured THEIR Oaths, even if Trump and his Administration betray THEIRS!!! Wake the FUCK up guys!!! (and gals... sorry...)

Keep fighting the good fight and getting the word out. Ignore the ignorant Felonious T Rump lemmings and their vile spews.

They are dismantling everything in order to break the law with impunity. Which is pretty much what they're doing now. Then go on their fake news media outlets with the talking heads to gaslight the masses with lies. They are disgusting. I hope that eventually they ALL pay one way or another. Whether here on earth or when their gone.

KARMA will come! I was hoping it was going to be Kama-la... but... well... all sorts of chicanery and skullduggery went on in the last Election... that was OBVIOUS, although sadly, never investigated.... as they KNEW we wouldn't.... Aaargh! Now, look where you are.... taking the high road, is NOT ALWAYS the best approach!

As everyone is saying where are the vast majority of Democrats in countering this administration’s agenda? I suggest the Democrats use the courts more, just like Trump did where he was able to delay things until he was re-elected. That plus the apparent free pass from the Supreme Court has made him feel invincible but what the Court has given can still be taken away!

Lots of Project 2025 Private training videos on all types of plans of Project 2025One of the first is an undercover video of  2 British documentarians. They talk with Russell Vought , the co-author of the project 2025 book. Then many other training videos like dealing with the media, How to purge civil service employees, Executive orders, the federal budget, social media messaging, advancing the presidents agenda and more training videos as well.This is unreal , and should be played on national TV to show people what’s going on. So we need to copy and paste this and get it out all across the country as soon as we can no telling what Trump plans next.So let’s get this information out and make it do some good by enlightening some people about what project 2025 is and there is a lot of other information in this text.There’s a video by Molly Jung on the dangers of project 2025. That she put out last year and tried to warn people about what it is and what we were up against and now we’re in it.So let’s get this information sent around the country.Thank youYeah, Trump loves the uneducated because they don’t look beyond their nose or beyond OAN, Newsmax or Fox .. and they don’t go past listening to ultra right wing  type radio stations.They never venture out to learn the truth about what’s going on.They have no idea about project 2025, which is going to attempt to destroy our democracy . They don’t know Trump‘s policies of tariffs and deporting a lot of Latino workers who did all the harvesting of fruits and vegetables he’s going to raise prices for food …. and what did you promise ? Oh yeah , that when he is in office all the prices are going go down , well  how is that working out .  We hate to tell you MAGA followers the prices are going up  and up and up.Trump told him exactly what he was going to do .If you vote for me, you’ll never have to vote again. He also said if you vote for me and happen to die, please and a vote for me first he doesn’t care if you ever live or die..He knows he appealed to a lot of people and was helped by Russian trolls posing as Americans posting negative videos and post about and Kamala Harris. And then putting in positive videos and articles even though a lot of them were lies.These Maga supporters don’t know that Trump is trying to fire all the experienced knowledgeable, truthful, civil servants, to replace them with MAGA Cult members who went through training with the project 2025 people. I’ll post several of those videos at the end of this text.These  MAGA supporters don’t realize that Trump is following page by page the Project 2025 manifesto,  and behind and encouraging and working with him are the tech billionaires and the tech billionaires plan on taking over and creating “Network States” Network States  are not democracy,they are if ,you can imagine ,little self contained domes of  of Tech and like minded people .  To learn more Google ( network states-revolutionary idea to potential new asset class)They are  going to kick out the low hanging fruit : the poor people, people of color and immigrants.  The tech billionaires are creating these network states and beta testing them at different parts of the world , and now it’s come to America .But the MAGA supporters have no idea of what’s in store for them… some of the Latino immigrants who voted for Trump are now being deported . They don’t realize that Trump is trying to fire or dismiss anyone who could keep him in check or make him accountable or try to stop his plan to  takeover and destroy our democracy. He’s decimating or trying to decimate the DOJ , CIA and the FBI, and every other important department in government who can stop him . ,He plans to fire all the non-partisan  civil  servants who will be replaced by MAGA  Cult/supporters. You can see, MAGA followers,  the kind of awful people he is trying to ram through the nomination process for very important parts of our government …. and the thing in common is they  will do anything Trump plans to do and who won’t hold him accountable.These people in highly sensitive and important cabinet positions and departments are supposed to be working for the American people for the benefit of th

You are right about everything except Maybe one thing I don’t get, that Trump is deporting Latino immigrants who voted for him. Did you mean to say their families? Or is Trump deporting Latino citizens, too?

Silly rabbit, upholding the law is for suckers and losers—except when it’s MY LAW.
