I don't know if non-lawyers understand how insane this statement is. I honestly can't think of anything remotely comparable in non-lawyer speak. I guess the closest would be a surgeon saying "Imagine if I had to wash my HANDS before doing surgery!"

It is very funny that one of the only people, out of thousands of the ultra rich and celebrities who were exposed to Trump and Epstein's pedophilia, who immediately said fuck this and got out of there was the dude from 2 Live Crew

You start to notice after awhile that the same people who pretend to oppose fascism while laying down for it are the same people who are either in the Epstein files or take money from and protect the people in the files.

Clark, WashingtonU School of Law: "This is a bribe... He [trump] is absolutely involved in receiving what is an enormous benefit from the UAE.. It goes beyond conflict of inrerest to actually the appearance of a bribe.. Enormous, unprecedented payments to trump entities." C'mon Congress, impeach

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs) Good tech. Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales) Bad tech.

Peter Thiel in 2009: “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.” Peter Thiel is the founder of Palantir. Palantir currently receives approximately $12 billion from US defense contracts.

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

New Trump admin slogan just dropped

Incrementalists take it on the chin again. This is why they hate Mamdani. He's giving up the game that people in power HAVE POWER and don't solely exist to beg you for $5 every day. He's ruining the Democratic Party by showing voters that they have the power to do stuff instead of crouching in fear

I have spoken with several senior FBI counterintelligence officers who believe that there is a reasonably strong prospect that Tulsi Gabbard is a foreign intelligence asset.

Even if you don't have time to read all 83 pages of Judge Reyes's opinion barring the Trump administration from rescinding Temporary Protected Status for 350,000+ Haitians, please at least check out the four-page introduction. It's a tour de force: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Whether it's Donald Trump getting half a billion dollars from United Arab Emirates or Joe Biden getting free ice cream from a shop in Delaware, influence peddling has been a problem for both men.

The year is 2026. The entire economy is scams. But some scammers are scamming for justice.

i made a version of wikipedia you can doomscroll xikipedia.org

The reality is and one that many American academics and experts are unwilling to utter is that these are death camps and just because the ash isn’t falling from the ovens yet doesn’t change that reality.

Good to see that many Dem elected officials now want to be seen getting involved in the cases of immigrants who have been wrongly detained by ICE. Let's spare a word for @vanhollen.senate.gov, who did this for Kilmar Abrego Garcia back when wise pundits said this was politically dangerous.

The fact that both are quite experienced—8 years and 12 years with CBP—is yet more evidence that CBP should be abolished and all of its agents fired. There's no way to "reform" or "retrain" that, it's just a violent gang with badges.

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

My personal government data was stolen by DOGE. Where is my $10 billion?

The conclusion isn't 'Qanon was right' it's 'Qanon was an op to install Trump, Musk, Thiel and dozens of other Epstein pals into the halls of power and build the most pro-sex criminal regime since slavery.' Which was obvious years ago.

Welker: “Has the Justice Department fully complied with the law?” Rep. Ro Khanna: “No. They've released at best half the documents, but even those shock the conscience of this country… It's one of the largest scandals, in my view, in our country's history.”

democrats crushing it in a safe Texas district is funny and I'm enjoying it, but also remembering a post I did about how Dems will win big in '28 bc everyone hates this shit, say "whew that's a relief" then Look Forward Not Back to avoid upsetting the GOP & being uncomfortable at work

ate something from a food truck that was possibly Chinese-Mexican and it was good as hell this is the greatest country in the world

The psycho pedophile regime who kidnaps and kills us is polling unfavorably

Underrated "conservatism is the ideology of daddy issues" data point is that Reagan had an absent, alcoholic father and latched onto his successful brain surgeon father-in-law and became the exact same kind of California crypto-Bircher he was

⚠️ Vincenzo lozzo is a BlackHat review board member and former director at CrowdStrike who became an FBI informant in 2017 and was reportedly Jeffrey Epstein’s personal hacker. He told the FBI that Epstein was Vladimir Putin’s wealth manager. h/t @fionda.bsky.social www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Trover: It happens all the time. Joe Biden's wealth increase while he was in office. Mockler: Joe Biden's wealth increased from $8 million to $11 million because of investments. Donald Trump’s wealth increased by $4 billion in one year.

Epstein is the most garish and harrowing manifestation of this but oligarchy makes life miserable in a thousand other ways. A core point of democracy is that no one should have so much power that they can make themselves everybody's problem. We should have a political party that believes that

“Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency. And the rule of law be damned.” Judge Biery re asylum seeker Adrian Conejo Arias and his five-year-old son

JD Vance in 2021:

You can keep calling it the Kennedy Center. You can keep calling it the Department of Defense. You can keep calling it the Gulf of Mexico. You can keep calling them tweets.

All in all I'd have to say I don't enjoy being ruled by semi-literate perverts with infinite money

Despite its real problems this country isn't Weimar Germany to most people! These guys want to be Hitler so bad they're trying to brute force the conditions that enabled him to take power. Doesn't mean they can't do a lot of damage, but fundamentally this just doesn't work

The punchline here has destroyed me. I am dead.

Union workers solved the trolley problem, you're welcome

I keep thinking again, in light of the latest Epstein files dump, about how MeToo “went too far.”

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

i wonder why he told an elaborate lie about the one time he met epstein.

"Our goal is not safety. Our goal is fear. Our goal is intimidation. Our goal is order. If enough people accept this, then we can finally have the America we want: where accountability is optional, truth is inconvenient, and silence is considered cooperation."
