Trump’s Jan 6 crimes would be better adjucated in criminal court
As soon as he said that, I knew they’d never hold him accountable. Because I knew they’d immediately move to “Congress didn’t convict him so there’s nothing to see here”, “if we have to go to court, let’s bring in every stalling tactic possible” followed by “why are you investigating such an old event”. I hate the Republicans.
I’ll celebrate (1) once it’s come to pass, (b) the Democrats have actually started standing up to … well, anybody, © the resistance has started to have irrevocable wins, and (d) all the people and institutions that have actively enabled this situation are gone.
The point is that he’s got too much exposure in Xitter, plus everyone’s tanking Tesla, so he’s moving stuff around to try to hang on to everything he can.
Is it going to change their vote? Is it going to get them on their phones to demand action from their senators and representatives? Is it going to drive them into the streets to demand change? Then why the fuck should I care what they think?
Could he have just informed the company what had happened so they could arrange a replacement pilot for wherever he was scheduled to go next, and then just not-deplaned in Shanghai, staying with the plane until it eventually got back to the States?
I believe he said that he logged out of the chat as soon as he verified the texts were real, and that the texts in the chat were set to auto-delete in 1 to 4 weeks (different texts set to expire at different times).
What is/are these tv series?
Based on an article I read over the weekend: There’s a treaty where they get a certain amount of water from the Colorado and we get a certain amount of water from the Rio Grande. It’s supposed to be roughly the same amount of water per year, but they wrote the treaty to operate on a five-year cycle so things could be adjusted if there was a drought.
The US government is claiming (and I have no idea if this is true or not) that Mexico regularly undersupplies water for the first four treaty years and then desperately tries to make up the deficit in the fifth year, leaving US farmers with farms suffering from insufficient water for four years and then too much access to water the final year.
Why do these things seem to happen so much in Pennsylvania? From the Toynbee tiles to the steel furnace letters, why does it seem we get so much weird shit?
Sure. Outraged over an inadvertent leak, but totally fine arming a country committing genocide, trying to strong-arm the victim of relentless aggression into giving up 1/5th of it’s territory, letting disease spread freely in the nation, detaining people without charges, kidnapping people off the streets and deporting then to violent foreign prisoners without due process, weakening our defense industry, alienating every ally and partner we have on the planet, threatening to annex countries, starting trade wars, taking away women’s healthcare, threatening the most vulnerable members of society, etc etc etc. All that other stuff is fine, but sure, let’s raise holy hell over an inadvertent leak.
CBP intercepted egg products on 3,254 occasions this January and February, compared to 1,508 occasions in the first two months of 2024.
TIL that people were “smuggling” eggs across the border last year as well. I wonder what the earlier historical numbers have been - there had to be some historical number of border residents doing it in their periodic cross-border visits, and unknowing vacationers who bought a dozen or two to cook while they’re camping and just brought the remainder home.
The biggest problem with AI is that they’re illegally harvesting everything they can possibly get their hands on to feed it, they’re forcing it into places where people have explicitly said they don’t want it, and they’re sucking up massive amounts of energy AMD water to create it, undoing everyone else’s progress in reducing energy use, and raising prices for everyone else at the same time.
Oh, and it also hallucinates.
Lol - longest necro I’ve had was someone who came back with a comment like three and a half years later, so you’re fine! And thank you for the compliment! :)
If you scream, you’re a fraudster and don’t deserve the money; if you don’t scream, we won’t know about it to reinstate it and you probably didn’t need it anyway. Either way, we win!
I swear, this sounds like dunking witches ‘logic’ …
Trump administration lawyers have determined that an 18th-century wartime law the president has invoked to deport suspected members of a Venezuelan gang allows federal agents to enter homes without a warrant, according to people familiar with internal discussions.
His order took aim at Venezuelan citizens 14 or older who belong to the Tren de Aragua gang, and who are not naturalized or lawful permanent residents. “All such alien enemies, wherever found within any territory subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, are subject to summary apprehension,” the proclamation said.
Senior lawyers at the Justice Department view that language, combined with the historical use of the law, to mean that the government does not need a warrant to enter a home or premises to search for people believed to be members of that gang, according to two officials familiar with the new policy.
If she’s not going out now, fighting and making the case against and rallying the troops against Trump and fascism now, I’m not interested in her.
I mean, I hate everything about RFK and his actions, but surely the US pharmaceutical business has enough money to invest in an exciting new and very lucrative new technology …
There are a massive number of fake books on Amazon, though. There are AI-generated books, designed to be easily mistaken for books by real authors, or about recent high-news events, or popular series. There are people who steal an author’s legitimate work and “publish” it as their own work, sometimes changing a small amount, sometimes changing nothing at all. There are people who watch upcoming book releases by popular authors and release fake books around the same time, hoping to pinch some of the sales. I’d rather have sparse but reliable data than give any authenticity to the scammers and thieves.
Oh, cool! I never figured out why they had the 683/684-character limit thing, so it’s cool beans to you - thank you!
They ended up “fixing” the problem by increasing the character limit to 2048, which was nice.
There aren’t going to be any “results” from “trade deals” that will help rural communities. They’re just going to have to suck up what they voted for.
Uhh, with what money will they invest? They’ve given most of their money back to investors. Also, you only invest big money in countries where you have faith in their futures. Trump has irrevocably damaged the US’ image and relationships. No one is going to trust us any more, and they’re right in doing that.
