  1. Lekes loche, Miriam. Klafte.
  2. Back on topic some things have become more clear. Remember the indictment alleges that Comey lied about "authorizing" someone "at the FBI" to "leak anonymously." There was some question about who that someone could be. One speculation was Chris Wray, who apparently did leak anonymously, but even according to his testimony to Congress and elsewhere, did so without Comey's prior knowledge or approval. The other person was Daniel Richman, a professor at Columbia, with whom Comey communicated about various things as a friend and consiglieri. And Richman was in fairly constant contact with the press, but rarely, if ever, anonymously. And Richman was not an FBI employee, fairly obviously. He was, however, a "special employee" uncompensated consultant for the FBI. But the terms of his "employment" are murky and it appears that he was not actually so employed in the relevant timeframe. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/more-trouble-for-the-comey-indictment Another hole in the government's already flimsy case. The most glaring problem with the case is that what Comey said to Congress, within the limitations period, was "I stand by my earlier testimony." And that is a statement that is not really capable of being proven false. Certainly not by proving 2017 testimony false.
  3. The quintessential Athens activity. IYKYK.
  4. Just to elaborate, apparently BBC is under some small fire for being biased. The central allegations seem to be using that Palestinian narrator for a Gaza doc, the reporting of Gaza children with preexisting conditions as suffering malnutrition, and reporting Trumps 1/6 speech with the violent exhortations but without the "be peaceful" part. Then, to bolster the allegations, they go ask Miss Piggy from the lyingest liars of all what she thinks.
  5. Clarifying, Justice Jackson issued a 48 hour administrative stay pending the First Circuit's ruling on a substantive stay.
  6. For the record, Rogan is not overtly political. And that's why he's toxic. He's a dumb, okey doke, get-along guy that has political guests that are essentially manipulating him and his audience. He's not smart enough to challenge them and by just nodding along with them, implicitly endorses them and makes them acceptable to his audience. On occasion, his endorsement rises above implicit to explicit, but I still don't consider him political. He seems to appeal to the sort of youth that are susceptible to the manosphere because of their impotence (not sexually, but that too) and that's a profitable but bad place to be, really.
  7. Yeah, one of the primary rights provided by copyright is the exclusive right to reproduce a copyrighted work. Unlike downloading content, which could get you in trouble with your ISP and with rights owners, viewing a stream doesn't involve the reproduction right. If you are saving streams, you're reproducing. If you're re-streaming, you're violating the exclusive right to distribute copyrighted work. ISPs cut off downloaders, because if they didn't after acquiring knowledge of extensive infringement, the rights owners would sue them for contributory infringement, having provided the instrumentality for the downloaders to infringe. I'm not sure any theory of contributory infringement could apply to viewers of illegal streams, or to the ISPs that "allow" them to.
  8. Sounds like Rhoades might have a lil drinky problem. Only a drunk would get that aggro about something like that.
  9. Why Desperation and not Regulators? Tak.
  10. Bitchass whinging about unfollowed replies on some First Amendment basis. For me, not thee.
  11. Look at those motherfuckers, armed with black rifles and tacticool gear, walking down the sidewalk in an American neighborhood that looks to be above the mean. This is what you voted for.
  12. Johnson is such a toady. I'm glad the Chief and City Council were right-minded on this.
  13. Or the cat food. In your bank account.
  14. So, Rikki, is a pinky ring just too much?
  15. Fucking "Patriot" Awards, honoring only MAGA grifters, from an alleged news network. But MSM is biased!
  16. What's kind of amusing is that with steam and rifled cannon in turrets came the maneuverability and range to engage another ship or ships at range and somewhat independent of formation (battle lines no longer required). And then we had maybe a dozen of those kind of naval battles over the next 30-40 years and then nada. Right, and much more a dreadnought battleship than a sail-powered ship of the line.
  17. Yeah, why is Carville hiring W&C when the AD was libeled, if he was libeled. Bizarro. That said, if W&C files suit in Louisiana, they'll do everything in their power to neutralize the politics or tilt them in their favor.
  18. Bet he's glad that dress uniform includes gloves.
  19. One lie destroys credibility. Dozens or hundreds of lies don't.
  20. Exceptionally stupid. And bigoted.
