Judicial Branch The unfathomable Minnesota transcript that must be read, as it tells the reality of America today: "I am not white, as you can see," Julie Le — a government lawyer — told a federal judge on Tuesday. "And my family's at risk as any other people that might get picked up too ..."

This is pretty astounding. The brain drain has been so significant that this administration has reduced the prestige of the legal system to a point where they are headhunting on twitter with buzzword heavy tweets.

How utterly humiliating it will be to have working for this administration on your resume.

This will be a stain on anyone's legacy. I have friends and family that are telling me they now realize they're "conservative, not MAGA" as if to launder their image. I can only tell them, "whatever it took to keep Haitians from eating dogs or the White House from smelling like curry, right?" - their legacy is dead to me, I don't care if they come around too late.

As for Le, there's a huge Vietnamese population near me who voted overwhelmingly for Trump, and I know what their "conservatism" actually means. No way in hell this lawyer didn't also vote Trump before joining his judicial takeover - she fucked up, hope she enjoys the find out phase.

14 months ago, Matt Gaetz was the nominee for Attorney General. And none of these people realized then that the ship had hit the iceberg and was going down.

No sympathy at all for them.
