@ColemanMoreing @Thaleresq @AWeissmann_ Since the expiration of the independent counsel provisions in the Ethics in Government Act in 1999, as was the case before 1978, neither Congress nor the courts have any official role in the appointment of a special counsel

@FPWellman @RebeccaSolnit The irony is that the polls have shifted slightly in Biden's favor. The 538 simulations based upon polling data and accounting for partisan skew in polls have ticked up for Biden recently.

“Cultural Heroin”

Another instance of MTG showing her ignorance of the law. In 1965, Congress authorized the Secret Service to protect a former president and his/her spouse During Their Lifetime, Unless THEY decline protection.
She doesn't know the laws or how to Google;
Does know how to lie!

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

The insinuation that Democrats have called for political violence is wrong & it's irresponsible. People like me have encouraged Democrats to educate themselves & others & prepare to vote. We should all take the temperature down not up after a terrible incident like this.

@TulsiGabbard the self-appointed oracle of QAnon, speaking in tongues only the deluded and ignorant can decipher. Her latest drivel reads like a fever dream of paranoia and misplaced grandeur, a display in how to string together conspiracy theories with the finesse of a drunken juggler.

"Everyone knows," she begins, invoking that most reliable of sources: the invisible omniscient chorus that lives exclusively in the minds of the delusional. According to this chorus, the American people are mere puppets, rallying behind their president not out of genuine patriotism or rational judgement, but because they are manipulated by the unseen hands of the "Deep State" and "warmongers." Ah, the Deep State, that ever-elusive boogeyman, apparently capable of orchestrating global conflicts and yet, amusingly, unable to remain undetected by the incisive insights of Tulsi and her acolytes.

The insinuation that President Biden would orchestrate international conflict to secure his reelection is not only preposterous but displays a profound ignorance of geopolitical realities. It's a narrative torn from the pages of a third-rate spy thriller, lacking any semblance of coherence or plausibility. To suggest that the most pressing strategy of the administration involves concocting wars with Russia and China is to ignore decades of diplomatic efforts, complex international relations, and the intricate balance of global power dynamics.

Her rhetoric escalates from absurd to deranged as she questions whether "they" would be so "demoniac and insane" to jeopardize the future of our country and the world. One might marvel at the audacity of her hyperbole, were it not so pathetically transparent in its aim to incite fear and distrust. The implication that those in power would willingly endanger countless lives for political gain is not only cynical but grotesquely disrespectful to the many who work tirelessly to maintain peace and stability in a precarious world.

Gabbard's closing admonition, that "we shouldn’t doubt this for a second," is the final, ironic twist in her tapestry of delusion. For doubt, dear Tulsi, is the foundation of rational thought. It is through questioning and critical analysis that we separate the wheat of truth from the chaff of baseless conjecture – a process evidently foreign to the purveyors of QAnonese.

Gabbard’s statement is a veritable tour de force of conspiratorial thinking, an exercise in linguistic gymnastics that ultimately collapses under the weight of its own absurdity. Her words serve as a poignant reminder of the importance of reasoned discourse and the dangers of unchecked paranoia. It is a narrative fit for the trash heap of history, where it belongs, alongside other relics of fear-mongering and ignorance.
