  1. The easiest way to know that shit posted by Libsoftiktok, Andy Ngo, etc. is misrepresented is because that's literally all they do online. Sometimes it's very obvious, sometimes you have to go to a bit of effort to figure out what the lie is. But there's always a lie. That's fundamentally who they are.
  2. Far and away the best thing MeidasTouch has ever done.
  3. Some lawyers, particularly those with a longer history of practicing while believing in the system, have a hard time accepting this. It doesn't help that for most of us, our day-to-day work is still very much engaging with a real practice in a real system with real rules and consequences for us and our clients. But yeah, if you're rich enough and/or socially or politically powerful enough, the law is mostly a farce. Some lawyers will try to argue it isn't because look, he's in trial right now, facing consequences. But I think the honest, true response to that is that this isn't the legal system working as intended at all; this trial is only happening because it finally became politically advantageous for a New York prosecutor to charge Trump with some of the fucking tens of thousands of felonies he has committed in New York. It's the same story in Georgia. And as for the federal charges, we can all see what Cannon and the Supreme Court are doing to those prosecutions.
  4. If "going to your car to get a gun after a shoving match" = reasonable fear that justifies shooting someone in self defense, then there really isn't much point in still having laws against killing people.
  5. The two statements I've bolded seem directly at odds with each other.
  6. And there it is. Netanyahu is once again trading the lives of Israeli hostages for his own freedom.
  7. Rex is really on an impressive run of talking out of his ass in the last few days. Rex, you know, you could try just googling this shit. There's been a ton of reporting and commentary on this literally for decades. Here's just one recent article:
  8. It's literally impossible to imagine not one but two bullpens that are apparently between 2 to 3 times as bad as ours. How the fuck are the Blue Jays and Rays that bad?
  9. Netanyahu is probably about to tweet out "SIKE!" and flatten Rafah.
  10. Who gives a fuck what his base will think? They're his base. Him being jailed for repeated flagrant contempt may help him con some more legal fees out of his most hardcore supporters, but it won't help him with undecided voters and it would send a signal to everyone that he's not actually above the law.
  11. Because Rex clearly missed our last conversation on this, I'll quote myself:
  12. The man collects Nazi napkins.
  13. Yes we’re all aware of his bullshit excuses. We’ve discussed this all before.
  14. The thing is that certain people don't consider Palestinians to be people.
  15. Hamas got a much smaller percentage of the vote in the last election held in Gaza, which was nearly 18 years ago, than Trump got in either of the last two elections and way way smaller than the Texas GOP gets every election. Using their views on and treatment of women as representative of how all Palestinians view and treat women makes much less sense than using the Texas GOP as representative of how all Americans view and treat women.
  16. I love how conservative men who want to ban the pill and lock up women who get abortions say shit like this.
  17. The engineers need to preemptively get gibbets. For public safety.
  18. Y'all know the violence at UCLA was overwhelmingly from counterprotesters, right?
  19. Reformed Johnny is really letting the old Johnny out on this shit, huh?
  20. How much longer before TB is proposing a spectrum of skull measurements for determining Jewishness?
