Plus there's that conservative asshole of a Judge Schroeder.

I suspect the R's banded together, perhaps nationwide, to bankroll a top notch defense for Kylie, while the city prosecutor was making do with a limited budget, staff, and prep.

It just goes to show, in America and probably most of the world, money is power, even in a courtroom.

I suspect this victory may go to Kylie's head, and he might, at some point in the future, wind up committing even more heinous crimes that no amount of politically inspired funding can help him avoid a conviction.

Plus there's all the civil suits likely to come next. Eventually Kylie's fairy godmothers will tire of propping up his sorry ass. Aren't they already squabbling over who gets to keep the bail money?

Nah, but he will be congressman Rittenhouse within 5 years.

7 years. Minimum 25 for the House, 30 for the Senate.

He lives in IL, but some WI districts may be favorable for him. Or, he could move to FL's panhandle.

Jury finds men guilty of murdering Ahmaud Arbery

Now, go after the cops and prosecutors that tried to cover up the MURDER and delayed investigation for months.

... The killing of Arbery on Feb. 23, 2020, initially fell under the radar but drew national attention after a video of the killing was released that May....

Although Arbery was killed in February, Bryan and the McMichaels were not arrested until May, after the video was posted online, sparking public outcry.

The actions of law enforcement and local prosecutors came under scrutiny in the aftermath of the video’s release. Gregory McMichael is a former Glynn County police officer, and two prosecutors recused themselves from the case due to conflicts of interest....

Accessories after the fact.

‘She Should Spend Time In Prison’: Former DA Accused of ‘Showing Favor’ to the McMichaels Awaits Her Day In Court on Charges Over Delayed Arrests In Ahmaud Arbery’s Slaying

...


Former District Attorney Jackie Johnson (Brunswick Jail), Ahmaud Arbery (Family Photo)

According to a grand jury indictment, Johnson violated her oath by “showing favor and affection” to Gregory McMichael and “failing to treat Arbery and his family fairly and with dignity.” It also said she obstructed police by “directing that Travis McMichael should not be placed under arrest.” Johnson also lost her reelection bid last November because of the Arbery case.

It took more than two months after Arbery’s killing for arrests to be made. His family and supporters have called for Johnson to be penalized for what she did.

“She should spend time in prison,” said Lee Merritt, an attorney for Arbery’s mother. “Her actions are not just acts of negligence, but she actively worked to cover up the murder.”

... Johnson was arrested for violation of oath of a public officer and obstruction and hindering a law enforcement officer on Sept. 8. She was released on a $10,000 bond. Johnson will face one to five years if convicted for violating her oath and up to one year in prison for hindering law enforcement....

The GBI is also investigating another former top law enforcement official’s mishandling of Arbery’s case. Waycross District Attorney George Barnhill told the Glynn County Police Department there was “insufficient probable cause to issue arrest warrants” for the men accused in his killing because they were attempting to detain Arbery for a citizen’s arrest. Barnhill recused himself from the case after facing pressure from Arbery’s mother. Barnhill’s son had worked in Johnson’s office with Gregory McMichael....

A petition was created two years ago for Barnhill’s disbarment.

I thought there was some push in Florida to elect DJT to the House, in a GOP landslide, so then he could become Speaker, and spank Nancy?

Altough it would appear that he'd probably rather get spanked. At least that's what Stormy Daniels sez.

You've got part of it. The new congress will not only elect trump as Speaker, but will simultaneously impeach Biden and Harris thereby making the Speaker the President.

There is an alternate version that says that the Speaker doesn't have to be a member of Congress. This version doesn't require his imaginative win in a democracy district, the new repug majority elects private citizen Superman trump to Speaker and from there to the Presidency.

In other words, this is a plausible scenario, except that a RepuQ Senate majority sufficient to convict Biden and Harris is unlikely. Before that, I'm not sure that a RepuQ House majority would actually name Dolt .45 Speaker. Impeaching Biden and Harris is possible, though.

Probably will never happen. I'd rather devote my energy to ensuring a Dem majority in both houses in 2022 and 2024, than to worry about Trumpian fantasies. Except for the amusement factor.

Charlottesville African American museum will melt down Robert E. Lee statue for new public art piece

The 1,100-pound bronze statue of Robert E. Lee that was at the center of a 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., will soon be melted down and repurposed into a new public artwork.

A proposal by the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center was accepted Tuesday by the Charlottesville City Council. Titled “Swords Into Ploughshares,” the project will see Lee’s statue re-created into an entirely new form following input from the community....

My suggestion is a statue of Heather Heyer bashing a cowering Klansman with a ploughshare, but that's just me.

Guess who is leading the effort?

Matt Gaetz says he's talked to Trump about making the former president speaker of the House if Republicans win a majority



More from the same presser:

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) — still under investigation for federal sex crimes — lays out what House Oversight might look like under a Republican majority.

Terrifying.

This is the funniest SNL skit I've seen today!

Unfortunately it isn't funny at all.

There is the message. These toxic monsters are our future.

A nightmare scenario that should send us all screaming to the polls.

When they show you who they are, believe them.

When they tell you to your face they’re going to rig this election to be installed to gain the majority, believe them.

I thought I hated Paul Ryan, but Gaetz, Jordan, Greene, Boebert, and Gosar make Ryan look good by comparison.

If that's not the 2022 campaign ad for Democrats I don't know what is.

This is the Republican front man? Eddie Munster?

Folks, this is their best right here.
