Today is Monday, June 19th and a federal holiday, meaning no mail delivery by the post office. The state of Texas started recognizing Juneteenth as an official state holiday in 1980, and as an employee in the state's welfare bureaucracy, I got an extra day off work with pay most years until I retired. Now I mainly appreciate Juneteenth because an official federal holiday honoring the emancipation of slaves in the 19th century really pisses off bottom-feeders who consider Pig the greatest U.S. precedent (sic) ever.
There's a lot of chatter at DU today regarding a panel discussion on MSNBC about an article in The Washington Post. I haven't seen the article and won't read it, for the same reason I skip stuff printed by The New York Times. Both of those newspapers are considered premium news sources, but both of them devoted too much effort to the normalization of Pig, from the time he was running for the (R) nomination, until Biden defeated him in 2020. There was never any possibility that Pig was going to be anything but a disaster, much less a traditional POTUS, for numerous reasons that are obvious now, and should have been obvious then.
At any rate, the WP story has some Democrats in an uproar because it asserts that AG Garland and the Feds dragged their feet in conducting the investigations that are now producing criminal indictments. Some liberals are bragging about vindication since they believed Merrick Garland as AG was a mistake in the first place. Instead of reluctance, what I've seen is an effort to enforce the law strictly by the book, and put together cases that will hold up in court and yield convictions.
After four years of suffering through the waste of shit's contamination of the Department of Justice to protect himself, I'm relieved to see Biden's administration following the law to the letter and doing things the right way. I can't imagine anything worse than seeing Pig taking victory laps after being acquitted on technicalities or prosecutorial errors.
