  1. They’re in New Orleans now. I just got out of a meeting where the firm was deciding whether to put a sign on the front door saying “No ICE or law-enforcement of any jurisdiction are allowed to enter the building absent a signed search warrant. No employees have authority to grant access; contact firm owners”… …or whether once somebody saw that notice and told ICE that would put us on their radar. We are a predominantly Hispanic firm, employee wise, and well known in the community. Yay ‘Murca!
  2. I can’t be certain, but I remember hearing some Democratic congressman mention that there is language in the Epstein bill that makes it criminal not to release all of the file, an effort to create some statutory obstruction of Congress crime even more specific than the normal refusal to follow congressional subpoenas and such. Could be wrong, I haven’t read the legislation. I have to think that there are also some career DOJ/FBI peeps who are as unhappy as they can be. They might be willing to take advantage of whistleblower statutes. If the Trump team did not vet everybody who has had access to any of that for party loyalty, some of that information might already be in the hands of Trump hating third parties already. it would certainly be stupid if they did that, but stupidity is on par with cruelty with those people
  3. When you hear the glass crashing, you instinctively know that a chair has not been thrown through a window, no…. Laura Loomer’s sprint across the parking lot has ended with her crushing head first through the window and onto the floor. She is nude, smeared with her own feces as her first layer of battle protection. Excrement and her long underarm hair twisted into a braid in the shape of a capital M, denoting which political clan is most connected to the angry screaming voices in her head. Loomer’s sudden appearance is not unnoticed; Boebert skitters toward a corner and turns around, her back now protected. Marge slowly stamps one deformed human hoof after the other onto the ground, Sumo style. She balls her hands into fists and contracts every muscle in her body, her large throat pouch alternately expanding and contracting, an unmistakable display of dominance. Marge ignores Boebert. She is not the threat. Loomer turns her head sideways and stops to meet Marge’s gaze, now squatting as things appear, pushed by contraction out of several bodily orifices. Weapons? Before Loomer fills both hands, Marge attacks. Her squat, muscled body hides unfathomable speed, she closes the distance to Loomer in seconds…
  4. He has a solid legal defense “I forgot!”
  5. And there are protests springing up around Russia as everything goes to shit. They know they can’t protest the war and they know they can’t protest Putin, but they can protest the lack of electricity and Internet and food and jobs and the VAT of 20% added to what they already pay in taxes. I think when Russians protest against taxes, everyone knows they are protesting against the war, because everyone knows why extra taxes were imposed.
  6. What Trump doesn’t get is that Europe is not going to let Ukraine fail. The only thing he will accomplish is a diminishing of American influence in Europe and the world.
  7. nothing to see here, just the United States through its president, giving up on the concept of democracy in exchange for a willingness to let a murderous, rapist, aggressive country invade a neighbor to steal kids and kill their civilians. Obviously, Trump must reward them for that behavior if he wants to get a peace prize.
  8. This is a screenshot from a politico article That 60-15% stat might explain Trump‘s Sunday 180 on the release.
  9. The Democrats should try to demand a vote i’m a bill that specifically asks for all videos possessed by anyone in the United States government relating to the Epstein files. Of course some will vote against that, making it look like a cover-up of the alleged video of Donald doing bad things with half naked young women. Also, refusing to comply (if the house has Senate pass that bill to protect their election chances), refusing to immediately comply, would raise obstruction and other criminal issues. I doubt anyone will have to answer for this criminal administration, but you should at least try to set it up as much as possible.
  10. I had not realized that Mike had sold some of the GOP representatives who voted to release the files by telling them that the Senate would not pass that version of the bill, and would kick it back so they can delay and pass a bunch of amendments on the bill. The reason he looks shaken is because he lied to a whole bunch of Republican house members about what would happen in the Senate. Which makes you wonder what kind of communication he had with Thune - is Mike an idiot who didn’t bother to ask what was happening and/or assumed he could get the Senate to do his dirty work - or was he played by the Senate because everyone is tired of his incompetence as speaker of the house?
  11. Where was the house where a half-naked woman was chained outside? Why, that house is smack-dab in the middle of a neighborhood that did not believe in kink shaming.
  12. So…. you’re saying I should’ve gone with the playful sea monkeys?
  13. chicken with the fake news propaganda post
  14. I sold everything and invested in a chinchilla Ranch. Soon, I’ll be sitting on the beach making 20%.
  15. T Tom fapping to Kelly it’s going to be more difficult now.
  16. Peeps, this is actually a pretty interesting episode. He explains why the population of Russia is so willing to put up with what’s going on without protest, and more importantly, he explains why Russians cannot admit that Putin is wrong because that would insinuate that they somehow are to blame. Their national personality will not allow them to believe they have any responsibility for anything Russia is doing, mostly because a core belief of the Russian population is that they have no ability to change anything that happens in their lives, or their countries behavior, and therefore it’s best to accept whatever is going on and to keep your head down and look out after yourself. Byand large, they do not hope for a democratic future, but instead fervently believe that a different but better strong man is needed to replace the people who are currently running the country into the ground. It is simply not within their worldview to think that as a citizen they have any obligation or need to interfere in what the people in power deem is necessary. TL;DR
  17. The Vikings feared Finnish tribesmen called Bjarmians who lived near the White Sea. They are said to have kicked Viking ass on the reg. They excelled at Winter fighting, and were said to disappear into the forest and move like ghosts. They would not engage in traditional combat and attack a shield wall, but would retreat and rain arrows out of the mist. They would lead Viking raiding parties deep into the forest, which was usually the last anyone heard of the Vikings. Like any bully, Russia talks shit, but I would be astonished that it wants to take on the Finns or the Poles.
  18. I very much appreciate your edit. Because now I know all the shit that I didn’t read is more correct
