You can indict a ham sandwich, sure. But can you convict it?

Of course I'm worried about socialism. I mean, just imagine if Mamdani one day becomes President and nationalizes industry, imposes historic tax hikes, goes after the media, builds a secret national police force, militarizes the country, and sends people to camps.

It is absolutely INSANE that a Court needs to order federal law enforcement to wear badges

Fantastic play-by-play of the beatdown ICE and CBP are taking in a Chicago courtroom

She is absolutely lining the administration up for a PI that should be an absolute ass-kicker.

In litigation: Credibility. Is. EVERYTHING.

THIS IS A BAD MISTAKE BY A GOOD JUDGE

Ellis: "The government would have people believe, instead, that the Chicagoland area is in a vice hold of violence, ransacked by rioters and attacked by agitators. That simply is untrue. And the government's own evidence in this case belies that assertion."

So I have no doubt whatsoever in my mind that this prick is an antisemite to his core, and under no circumstances should his bigotry be defended. That said, there is a real answer to this question religiously, and I can explain the mindset (I do not share, obviously) if you are interested.

What’s interesting to be is that the backlash seems to be centered on the notion that the only problem with Nick Fuentes’s white supremacy is it’s antisemitism. Apparently the other stuff isn’t really a problem.

Their statement is horrible even in a general sense; It's always telling the way conservatives mistakenly equate "others would be allowed to" with "we would also be forced to".

When your "I'm not antisemitic, it's just that ..." defense is "if we push back too hard on antisemitism I might have to eat dinner with some Jews and that would contradict my faith" ... You're not beating the rap guys

Well, that's certainly not what you want to hear the judge say if you're on the DOJ side of the table

The Ninth Circuit case on this is Johnson v. Poway, 658 F.3D 954 (9th Cir. 2011). The simple answer is that K-12 schools have to have control over employee speech in classrooms. You can criticize schools for being too heavy handed on things, but from a First Amendment perspective,

Every Republican Member of Congress now realizes that their majority is now on the clock. The ones in safe red districts know that they'll likely keep their seats but will be in the minority. The ones who aren't in safe red seats know that they will have to get real jobs - with no 7-week vacations.

Nothing says "completely in touch" like thinking Jews of new York (and everywhere else) haven't least been doing this for fucking years

Man, it’s almost like Trump winning and the Dems losing one election at a time that basically every incumbent party in the world was losing elections doesn’t actually mean that all Americans love fascism and want to roll over and die to fascism forever

JIM MCGREEVEY???

Tonight, was another reminder: there is no single mold for a Democratic winner. Progressives won. Moderates won. Rural, suburban, urban —they all won. Black, White, Latino, AAPI — they all won. We won in the East, South, Midwest and West. Victories in races from City Council to Governor.

I hate that this is necessary, but it is.

Remember, we learned in 2021 that a win by the out party in a Virginia gubernatorial election fully nullifies any presidential mandate. I don’t make the rules

Update: Uh oh

Lol

Holy shit

It’s fun thinking about how police would react if someone walked into the station claiming they’d been assaulted because someone threw a sandwich at their chest, and about how other cops think about this one acting like an assault victim because of a sandwich impact right on his bullet proof vest.

Somehow this guy has 12k followers

Bedlam's law is infallible. The longer someone rants about what they think should or shouldn't be defamation the more likely they are to post something closer to defamation then the statement at question.

war is hell(mann's)

What in the world does he think that word salad even means?

No, that's not going to work. Time is linear, you can't retroactively appoint someone. If she had no authority to present an indictment to the Grand Jury at the time, then the indictment's a nullity. You can appoint her NOW, and she can re-present. But the SOL kept running in the interim

I'm EXTREMELY interested in the 1% who thought that Trump had been about right in July, but now think he hasn't gone far enough

Note also that Adrian Vermeule is *expressly* claiming Nick Fuentes and his band of Nazi followers not as "the enemy at the gates" but as teammates he wants on his side. To repeat: Nazis are far less of a concern to Vermeule than liberals are. Because Vermeule is a fascist. Full stop.

On 9/11 the planes that were sent up didn’t even have time to get armed, so they were prepared to if ordered have to fly their own plane in a suicide attack against a civilian aircraft. To your point they wouldn’t have all the information on why they would have to do that and kill innocents

"Why won't you go on a podcast that mocks you?" is as succinct a proxy for assessing your worth as a human being as anyone could ask for.

"If it was anybody else, we'd arrest him tomorrow" is as concise a summary of the past 10 years as you could find

THIS

LMAO

A movie you've seen more than seven times with a gif.

Um, "Trump pardoned the guy who helped fund Hamas" probably sounds like shitposting, but so does describing so much of what this regime is doing.

Float designer claims to have picked the gate design from a search of "cemetery gates" without knowing its connections. Hard to believe but also wrote what appears to be a sincere apology. I'd hold off on calling this intentional until I knew more about the people involved Also, grade school.

Everyone involved in this, including Trump, should be prosecuted for murder under the next administration. Let him defend it with presidential immunity, and then take it back to SCOTUS after packing the court back into a real judicial body.

Ben Vereen, the mayor from Zoobilee Zoo.

The world's most dishonest description of Jeffries answer here

Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, sweet potato pie, pecan pie

And also, even if it didn't "work" (in the sense of "stop them from spreading"), why would you choose to give them a platform? "Well, I can't stop it so I may as well help spread it" is not a valid fucking argument

Trying to imagine how this might work: Brett Kavanaugh, 10 days, "The harm to Donald Trump if he has to feed people is greater than if children go without food, so we overturn the order to use contingency funding for SNAP."

LMAO OMG

So if you want a sense of how insane some of the anti-Israel rhetoric from people like Ryan Grim is, Google Emad al Saraj & Cancer. While a prisoner in Israel (for murder and attempted murder) Emad was diagnosed with cancer by Israeli doctors at Barzilai hospital & treated with chemo.

This was good. But he missed the opportunity. The answer after that reframing needed to be "if the Trump administration is going to violate the law with impunity I'm not sure how ANY deal we could reach will matter - no matter what we pass, he'll just keep doing what he wants."
