  • “The President spent years essentially asking if no one will rid him of this troublesome Fed Chair,” Boasberg wrote. “He then suggested a specific line of investigation into him, which had been proposed by a political appointee with no role in law enforcement, who hinted that it could be a way to remove Powell. The President’s appointed prosecutor promptly complied.”

    Glad to see this judge doesn’t pretend the courtroom is a vacuum, which seems to be the norms these days. Seems like most of the time we get “sure the president tweeted multiple times about committing these crimes, but can we really know for sure that’s what he meant?”





  • Silver appears on-screen at the beginning of Who Framed Roger Rabbit as Raoul J. Raoul, the director of the animated short Something’s Cookin. Raoul loses his temper at toon Roger Rabbit for seeing tweety birds when a refrigerator crashes on his head, and not stars as the script specified. This was a prank Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis pulled on then-Disney CEO, Michael Eisner, as Eisner and Silver had despised each other since their days at Paramount Pictures in the early 1980s, especially with the issues they faced making 48 Hrs. Silver trimmed his beard off, paid his expenses, and asked to not have his name in initial cast lists. Reportedly, when production wrapped, because Silver was unrecognizable, Eisner questioned who played Raoul and was told it was Silver, at which point, Eisner shrugged and praised his performance.

    Honestly sounds like he was a pretty good sport about having that reputation.









  • Candace Owens isn’t a politician. She’s a useful idiot that says controversial stuff and makes conservatives feel good about themselves because surely if a black lady says stuff they agree with, then that’s almost the same as having black friends and therefore they can’t be racist.
