The Heir never thought he'd ever hear Julian Assange's name on audio ever again.  He thought that last year when Bill Barr decided to up the charges against Assange from computer hacking to outright espionage, those of us in need of justice against Assange saw our hopes dashed, because the Ed Snowden progressives would use the espionage charges as cause for martyrdom.  When those particular British courts ruled against our requests for extradition because of the new charges, the Heir saw the Ed Snowdens' fanaticism vindicated.  Though the Heir never gave up on justice with respect to Assange, he since moved onto more national and local cases like the Crumblies and Ghislaine Maxwell, hoping that the country would find justice there they would somehow now *never* find in the Assange case.  That may have all changed, but now the ball's in Merrick Garland's court to decide whether to extradite or not, and whether it's on espionage or computer hacking.  But the Heir sees Merrick Garland's career as Attorney General as a dismal failure, and he's unhopeful that Garland would ever do the right thing in the Assange case.  Let's look at Garland's track record here.  Deciding to defend Trump in the E. Jean Carroll case.  Taking Trump's side in the assaults against protestors in Lafayette Square.  If the Heir doesn't see Merrick Garland as doing the right thing in the Assange case, he thinks Garland should just throw in the towel and hand the job to a more capable AG, maybe someone like Neal Katyal among others.


You remember when the Heir said he's not taking prisoners anymore as of about October 15?  We think we still have that cultural update linked on this shares base, a statement of general indignation.  But the Heir's not limiting his not taking prisoners just to law enforcement and legal cases such as Julian Assange, Ghislaine Maxwell and the Crumblies.  He's taking his stance to his fellow Americans whom he believes will inevitably vote against their (and *his*) economic interests because the anti-Biden media's essentially telling them to, with those dang "polls" whose scientific health is way in doubt.  Sparing specific criticisms about those polls though for the time being, the Heir thinks his fellow Americans shouldn't knock it till they tried it on the social changes bill.  They did oppose Funny Named Care before they supported it, but the Heir thinks that if people don't give the social changes bill a chance, they'll never get that chance again possibly until some distant point in the future when it becomes apparent to the Heir that we will never have truly recovered from the pandemic (regardless of whether the pandemic itself will last or not) until we implement things such as housing reform and green infrastructure.  The Heir and I saw our entire street flooded when Henri hit, and we had to move our opera lit personal limousines to a side street multiple times first thing in the morning, so we're thinking that people who somehow don't believe that the social changes bill will mean anything to them because they're currently having to pay 20 cents more on a jug of milk than they did last year must have never had to deal with things like Henri or Ida or other weather events related to global warming.  You don't have to be a "tree hugging hippie" to know it's for real.  So, people, don't blow it, because you think you have it hard now?  Just wait until the wrong people get in next year, and you'll almost certainly end up with buyer's remorse.
