Kagro in the Morning - December 12, 2025
Friday, 12 December, 2025
David Waldman takes another whack at the chaos before the weekend. Indiana rejected the Gop plan to rig their 6-4 voting Gop state into a 9-0 seat state, returning it to a more modest 7-2 rigging. This makes Donald K. Trump look like an old, weak, flaccid, has-been. SAD! Donald shook his tiny fist at Senate President Pro Tempore Rodric Bray. Indiana's lieutenant governor says Trump threatened the entire state's funding, while Indiana's governor remains loyally henching for Trump. There is a simple, legal way Trump could steal the midterms, but David assures us that they'd have to be really brazen to attempt that… Chris Murphy explains how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends. Trump is asserting executive privilege to thwart his Jan. 6 lawsuit. Trump and paperwork, man! Trump purports to have pardoned Tina Peters but did he really? This time it doesn't matter because he can't, or perhaps it doesn't matter because he will anyway after he copters in Sly Stallone to bust her out. The DOJ failed to indict Letitia James… again… and again, and probably soon, again. The DOJ also pressured lawyers to "find" evidence that UCLA had illegally tolerated antisemitism. Abrego Garcia has been released from prison, and one day later remains free, at least at this moment, as hundreds of people in and out of government labor to take him out. Now they say the scrivener must have preferred not to add that final order of removal, as often happens, you know. The scrivener must have also slipped up on exactly where to put Lindsey Halligan. Critics of Elon Musk's Twitter could be in trouble, but who isn't a critic of Elon Musk's Twitter? Border patrol will first need to review 5 years of your aunt's cat pictures before she'll be allowed in to visit. Meanwhile, friend of Trump, hater of women Andrew Tate had several doors opened for him.
