Well it only took the FBI a few swings to eventually land on their perp, imo the cloud of conspiracy comes from their manifold fuckups from the jump. When there's uncertainty and an unclear explanation that's amended multiple times that's kind of to be expected
That would be pretty wild if there were multiple shooters out trying to kill him at the same event. If the bullet really was lodged in his spine, it HAD to have been a lower power round that a 30-06 out of a rifle
I thought the episode was pretty good, and I wasn't even aware of Don Jr's strategic advisory positions

But yeah it didn't quite have the juice of past episodes this season. I'd imagine they had to do some retooling after Cartman's alter ego got got.
Pretty sneaky shot at Trump's first wife dying from falling down the stairs too
Mangione’s presiding judge has ordered prosecutors to respond to a letter from Luigi Mangione’s legal team alleging that Trump administration officials’ recent social media posts about the case appear to have violated his right to a fair trial.

“It appears … that multiple employees at the Department of Justice may have violated Local Criminal Rule 23.1, and this Court’s order of April 25, 2025 specifically identifying the strictures of this rule,” U.S. District Judge Margaret M. Garnett wrote in her order on September 24 in response to the letter.
The rule stipulates that “non-lawyer personnel employed by a lawyer’s office or subject to a lawyer’s supervision” in a criminal case have a duty not to release an “opinion that a reasonable person would expect to be disseminated by means of public communication” if there is a chance that the opinion will “interfere with a fair trial or otherwise prejudice the due administration of justice.”
This includes any opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the accused, Garnett pointed out.
“The statements referenced in the [letter from Mangione’s legal team] by two high-ranking staff members of the Department of Justice, including within the Office of the Attorney General, appear to be in direct violation of this Rule and the Court’s April 25 Order,” the judge continued.
It's an open secret that social media impressions are bullshit, and yet it's the basis of the most valuable companies traded on the open market. God, I love living in economic bubbles
Comey getting dragged into a political investigation prosecuted by the man he put into office with a political investigation is some decent irony. I'm sure he'll beat the rap, but I kind of hope it's the biggest pain in the ass to him that it can possibly be
We have a greater degree of wealth inequality right now in the US than the French did when they broke out the guillotines, so yeah I'd agree it's a bit of a powder keg situation.
What's wild is that around 75% of corporate profits have been funneled into stock buybacks (source) which I believe is STRONGLY motivating the K-shaped recession. After the 2017 TCJA that only worsened. There's money for the poors, it just hasn't seemed to trickle down yet 🤔
tbh jettisoning leadership is a necessary step for basically every branch of the democratic party. They are dickless and feckless cowards who refuse to stand for any of their principals besides "keep our donors happy"
I got my wife to love our 3D printer by using it for lots of her projects - loads of planter saucers to catch excess water from plants, a couple corner shelves, lots of little plastic bits to fix this or that. And holy smokes it's SUPER handy for replacing and repairing my toddler's toys lol
