Eagle Ed Martin telling it like it is

 

You may recall that Ed Martin was not confirmed as US Attorney in DC, mainly because he was involved in the January 6 insurrection.

Republican resistance makes a difference

 

After confirming Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel, I didn't think there could be anybody they wouldn't confirm.

LOL.  So much better.

UPDATE 07:23 pm:  Oh lord, he IS choosing her.  I guess he can just keep putting interims in and never have to have a confirmation hearing on anybody.

UPDATE 08:52 pm:  Martin was just too evil to be let go.

UPDATE 05/09/2025:

Beyond insane

On April 14, the peer-reviewed medical journal CHEST, which focuses on respiratory diseases and sleep medicine, received a letter from Edward Martin, Jr., the U.S. Attorney General for the District of Columbia, probing whether the publication is “partisan,” and asking a series of questions about its acceptance of “competing viewpoints.”

[...]

“Legal counsel is currently reviewing the DOJ request,” spokesperson Laura DiMasi told Forbes by email. “We have no further comment on this issue at this time.”

Just tell them Ed is out of his fucking mind.

Trade publication MedPage Today reported on Friday that at least three journals had received the letters. It did not identify the other two publications.

[...]

In it, Martin wrote that “more and more journals and publications like CHEST Journal are conceding that they are partisans in various scientific debates,” and asked that they answer five questions by May 2. These include how they protect the public from misinformation, whether they accept articles from competing viewpoints and how they handle allegations that authors may have misled their readers.

Stupid, stupid fascists.

CHEST’s DiMasi pointed to the 90-year-old publication’s statement of principles that noted it adhered to the ethical guidelines for scholarly publishing, and that it had “published numerous articles that were breakthroughs in scientific research and clinical treatment, advancing the medical profession and improving the health and well-being of patients worldwide.”

No room for that in Trumpland.

Who are these people who are going through every little fucking thing we have in this country to pick it apart?  Seems like there's an army of them.

America has lost its mind.

And, speaking of medicine and insanity...

As of Friday, Covid.gov, the Department of Health and Human Services COVID-19 resource launched in 2022, is no longer providing information and resources about Covid—and Covidtests.gov, the website used to order free Covid tests from the government, isn’t, either.

Both now redirect to a White House page promoting the “lab leak theory,” which contends that the virus originated from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology. The website, touting the “true origins of Covid-19,” depicts President Donald Trump strolling out from between the words “Lab” and “Leak.”

That tracks. I can believe he is a lab leak. He's not human.

UPDATE 04/30/2025:

UPDATE 05/08/2025:  Too much resistance, so Trump has put Jeanine Pirro in Martin's place as DC USA.  But, Martin was just too juicy of an evil to let go entirely, so...

Good, but

 

Would have been nice if somebody could have blocked pretty much all of the idiot and sorely unqualified nominations that went through already.

UPDATE 04/16/2025:

Some courts are holding the line

 

"Trump's lawyers"

 

Trump 2.0 - What free speech?

 

"We're coming after you.  All the best."  

UPDATE 07:56 am:

Rule of law

 

The law is now simply a tool for Trump's use.  

Pardons of violent J6 criminals.  Now Padilla charges dropped.  It seems as though Trump is arranging his private army.

Just heard an interview today that mentioned Hitler's pardoning of the criminals that would eventually become his storm troopers.  

Trump 2.0 - The real king is Elon Musk

.

That's rich.  Breaking laws is a concern.  

What a sweet touch (kiss the real king's ring) to hand write his name.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
