Every time I hear some Republican say that they want to "stop the weaponization of the Justice Department" what they really mean is that they want to end the INDEPENDENCE of the Justice Department.
They want the DoJ only doing what they want them to do.
Anyone who claims otherwise is LYING.

Is CoSo my favorite SM that I recommend the most? Yes.
Can I feed my Vanderpump Rules needs here? No. 🙁
You all with your kindness and intelligence are forcing me to dabble on Reddit. 😂
I am 50% current events, politics and news junkie.
I am 25% gardening, food and dogs.
And I am 25% TV and entertainment.
So, I am 25% on other sites. 😂

I can’t be alone here! I’ve seen my #DoomscrollingBirdsite peeps in both categories!
Here’s some AI for the greater good! 😂

Tennessee State Representative Justin Jones was just expelled by a Republican led majority for speaking out from the well and standing with his anti-gun violence constituents.
Representatives Justin Pearson and Gloria Johnson are next.
This is a harbinger of dark years to come if people in every state do not grasp this authoritarian power grab and stand their ground.
Unplugging with RL friends turned out to be even better for the soul than an indictment. I,too, head north tomorrow. On the one hand, the long await for summer in MI painfully begins. But, on the other, it is the end to my tourist $ contributing to FL. I wish my connections to a nice tropical spring vacation spots were a match for my #politics.

So #Muskrat is against people defending themselves against a terrorist country then? How very on brand for this absolute douche canoe!
@Craig3010 Which is pretty wild considering we have a news ticker along the top and - most impressively - a radio scanner called @COSOCOM that's monitoring over 7000+ emergency and police radio frequencies for chatter and when it detects an incident auto-tunes to that frequency so you can hear what's going on in real-time, unfiltered.
Every time there's a mass shooting @COSOCOM activates way before anybody else has any knowledge of the incident.
This guy sure isn’t wrong not to trust the #Twitbird. I’ve never regretted not putting my RL info on there.
Today is what happens when enough gerrymandered American voters elect career opportunists that hate government to govern.
Can't we fast forward through the next two years?
The President's State of the Union address is normally held in late January, before a joint session of the Senate and House in the House chambers, with other assorted dignitaries, such as Cabinet secretaries and Supreme Court Justices attending.
This year there might not even be an organized House of Representatives to host the address in time for its usual delivery.
(To be fair, SotUs have been getting later and later, and the last one was held in March.)
Here’s a fun exercise:
Think about your experience with Twitter.
Now think about your time here on CoSo. Count up the dollars you’d have for each day that has passed without fighting bots, trolls, disinformation…
Maybe this would be a good time to make a donation to CoSo!

Let’s show @th3j35t3r some #CoSoLove!
Interesting. And maybe CoSo surge in popularity isn’t all Melon’s responsibility. It does seem there was an interest to shift to more niche platform options before he started destroying #Twitter.
