Hey, wanna be a crook? Fine. Nobody’s gonna care when you’re caught and punished. But, if you’re hired into a position of trust and you abuse that responsibility, fuck you hard. Shouldn’t matter if you’re a mailman or the president, fines and punishments should be at least tripled and justice swift. This is a cancer in our community.
Somebody needs to do a proper deconstruction of the photo. I mean, for example, the dashboard gets as much screen real estate as his biceps, aka “guns” — and none of this is unintentional. You don’t get Annie Leibowitz, the most famous living portrait photographer, for a quick snapshot.
In October and November 2019, Dubinsky and Derkach gave several press conferences in Kyiv at which they claimed that based on an investigation by Kulyk, they had uncovered corruption and money-laundering schemes related to Burisma, a gas company which had future U.S. President Joe Biden’s son Hunter on its board of directors.
Wait a minute. Are they saying that these people were paid by Russian agents? To Lie? For political purposes!? — why, I’ve never heard of such a thing.
His lawyer said:
"It is a very dangerous proposition to hold someone criminally culpable and send them to prison without a finding that he or she ever acted in any way that he or she believed was against the law or wrong." (emphasis on “believed” is mine)
So, if I genuinely believe that banks have so much money it’s fine if I take a tiny bit, then it’s not illegal? Yeah, right.
…ai generated “advertising or any solicitation with respect to products or services” — just report and block.
Oh, come on now. “Uniparty” really… Let’s not forget how many different options the republicans give their voters: we have the outright amoral pathological liars, like Trump, and Santos, and maybe even the new speaker; and then we have the freedom clowns who want to “deconstruct the administrative state” and shut everything down. And if those don’t appeal, there’s the laws and order religious fanatics who want to ban books, and abortions, and gays, and stuff. And let’s not forget the traditional establishment, who want to get themselves and their overloads obscenely rich before the walls come down. Did I forget anyone?
I suspect they delayed as long as they did to make sure that any evidence aged beyond legal use, such as any security camera footage was wiped and rewritten, etc. I have no idea, but I assume this isn’t just manslaughter, it’s destroying evidence as well.
I enjoyed how the author used the name “Xitter” (and how it may be pronounced), instead of the tedious “formerly known as” moniker.
Meadows argued that his arrangement and presence during the phone call was simply a part of his job.
AKA, the Nuremberg defense. (Hint: it didn’t work so well then either.)
Just FYI: Media Bias Fact/Check reports Reclaim The Net as having a right-wing bias and mixed factual credibility.
There seems to be some disagreement, but TiO2 (a very white pigment powder) is generally considered safe and has been used in everything from wall paint to toothpaste for decades. A few studies have suggested possible genetic toxicity, but it may be only from the extremely small nano-particle form. Another study suggested lung problems much like asbestos, but that might be from breathing high level aerosol concentrations. All in all, there’s no clear consensus, which seems like a pretty good sign for such a commonly used material, but the jury is still out.
Because it’s an investment ad by a bot who can’t tell the difference?
Thanks, boss. I like your style.
Fly-over newspaper says “Frisco.”
Edit: well, I deserved that. In fact, I did read the article and had no idea they weren’t referring to SF. Live and learn. I appreciated the helpful comments.
Businesseses?

Exactly. An uptick in Covid in a place where most people turn wearing a mask into a political weakness shouldn’t be surprising.
Just guessing based on the earlier recorded message in his normal voice where he coughs a couple of times. Maybe he has a cold, or even Covid, and his normal voice is hoarse or raspy, and not how he wants to be seen.
The headline would be unsurprising even if it ended at the word China.
Fuck Ajit Pai.
