Last Wednesday, US District Judge Mark Cohen criticized Atlanta officials for refusing to verify over 100,000 petition signatures submitted in the effort to put a police training facility that has become known as “Cop City” up for a vote. Dubbed “Cop City” by Atlanta residents, this proposed $90 million facility would partially raze one of Atlanta’s few remaining forests.

  • DEA Nominee Out For Actually Enforcing Covid Restrictions
    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 12/04/2024 - 07:48 AM

    Trump’s nominee to run the DEA has withdrawn from consideration after MAGAt lawmakers objected to him (you'll love this) for enforcing COVID restrictions seriously during the height of the pandemic in 2020. Via HuffPost: Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister, a Florida Republican, said in a statement Tuesday that he had decided to drop out after the “gravity of this very important responsibility set in.” “To have been nominated to serve as Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration is the honor of a lifetime,” Chronister said in a statement.

  • Rep. Crockett: Americans Tired Of Dems Bringing ‘Butter Knife’ To Fight
    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 12/04/2024 - 07:48 AM

    I don’t know why any Democrat would allow President Joe Biden’s pardon of son Hunter to turn into any kind of controversy.

  • Your Little Golden Book Of Trump's Terrible Pardons
    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 12/04/2024 - 07:46 AM

    The media is currently clutching its pearls over President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son, Hunter, saying President-elect Donald Trump will use Biden’s act of clemency to justify bad pardons once he takes office again. Politico declared Biden’s pardon “a rich gift to those who want to blow up the justice system as we know it,” while The New York Times said Biden’s act “will inevitably muddy the political waters as Mr.
