I am having serious computer issues. Every browser is limiting what I can access, and when I write a post and hit "save", it disappears down the rabbit hole.

So instead of reading my thoughts on Alina Habba's (temporary) resignation from the NJ US Attorney's office, or Juan Orlando Hernandez's sudden pardon, only to now face an arrest warrant issued in Honduras, you get another open thread.

Have at it, this is an open thread, all topics welcome.

    Jeralyn, I look forward ... (none / 0) (#1)

    ... to your perspective and thoughts regarding the U.S. attorney kerfuffle in not only New Jersey with Alina Habba, but also the Easter District of Virginia with Lindsey Halligan, who's still laying claim to the office despite the fact that a federal judge rules her interim appointment invalid. Further, the EDVA judges have appointing authority and had reappointed Erik Siebert as interim USA last May, before Trump forced him out over his refusal to pursue former FBI director James Comey's indictment and then tried to replace him with Halligan.

    And now, DOJ has demoted Brian Samuels as chief of the EDVA criminal division. What happens if DOJ collapses? The question was nonsensical once upon a time before Trump returned. Now, I'm not so sure things are going to hold up. L.A.'s interim USA got the boot by the courts, and they haven't bother to even nominate someone for the post.

    Is anyone else seeing problems where they are?

    "As you probably know, we've just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela," Trump said during a Wednesday meeting in the White House's Roosevelt Room. "A large tanker, very large. Largest one ever seized, actually."

    "And other things are happening, so you'll be seeing that later," he added.

    the largest one ever seized.

    This is the kind of thing that happens when 70 million Americans give you every reason to believe they're idiots.

    President Trump just launched the Trump Card, a direct path to citizenship if you can pay at least $1 million.

    How would you even do this?   How do you share 5 years of Social Media?

    U.S. Plans to Scrutinize Foreign Tourists' Social Media History
    Even visitors from countries like Britain and France, whose citizens don't need visas, would be required to share five years' worth of social media.
