It's kind of a shame, dude is clearly mentally ill but there's no mention in the article of any attempts to treat it. Just straight to jail. If anything it's just going to worsen in prison and probably end up murdering someone and/or getting murdered.

The really bonkers ones get even more exclusive, where other Christians that aren't their same little sect are going to hell, even Catholics.

Yeah, the R's are the ammosexuals. They're so afraid that libruls will take their guns away that they stockpile them. I know a couple Dems who collect guns as a hobby, but I think most of us who own have just one or two for the purpose of self/home defense.

It's your right to vote 3rd party, but doing so makes it only more likely that Trump will take office and ruin not just Palestine but the ability for Arab Americans and possibly every foreign born, and possibly non-white person in general, to live in the US. In our current political system, third parties count for nothing, it's a wasted vote. I'm not thrilled by Biden either but voting for president has to be strategic.

I want to be gay but I'm too weak to go through all the shit society throws at gay people, so I'll conform and hide my true self.

Heck, they shouldn't even wait for the drone to show up to do that!

The media has traded objectivity for eyeballs. Ever since that orange clown started running the first time it's been a nonstop attention grabber and that's all the media wants now. Good or bad attention doesn't matter, it's just attention, and Trump draws it out massively. Media doesn't want it to stop.

I'm pretty sure it was Melania who noped him out of that. It wouldn't surprise me if Trump didn't bother actually asking the kid if he wanted to do it before trying to shove him up on stage.

dirthawker0 ,

I feel like it would be a balm to the majority of people to see him finally actually get consequences for his actions rather than just threats that he keeps ignoring. But the justice system and politicians are afraid of that noisy, mostly white minority that is allegedly armed and claims to be willing to use force.

ITYM resistance to anaesthetics, not tolerance. I have a friend who has this gene, even though he wouldn't be considered a red head, it's mostly dark brown with slightly lighter strands.

Trump juror quits over fear of being outed after Fox News host says she should scare Trump ( www.salon.com )

Those calls came after numerous media outlets reported potentially identifying biographical information about the woman, including her job and the neighborhood she called home. Fox News Jesse Watters highlighted the juror's details while reading through public pool notes about the selected members. "This nurse scares me if I'm...

If you think Trump is going to stop Israel from killing Palestinians or make immigration easier for brown people, you are very mistaken.

I'd love to see it too, but I'm pretty sure that between the the logistics of locking up a former President and the very apparent dementia there's going to be some kind of clemency. As long as he is permanently barred from political activity, is sentenced to some form of house arrest, and of course has to pay whatever restitution is required, I'd be okay with that.

dirthawker0 ,

Overall yes, but do note that the person in charge of the committee is a Republican and also seems keen on understanding what they regulate.

I want to see a photo of Letitia James standing in the doorway of Trump Tower spinning the keys around her finger. And smiling that Cheshire cat smile.

Exactly. When you're on mobile, the website will check and automatically switch you to the mobile version. If you're on desktop and click a mobile link, that switch doesn't happen, and everything is giant font and wide margins. The assumption is that desktop is still the default means of viewing. And when inserting a link from mobile, it's not that hard to delete the m.

And it ties in with the great replacement thing. They don't want to be outnumbered by those non-white non Christian second class citizens.

Maybe they should keep hammering Russia until Putin stop blaming Ukraine

In Monterey CA, there are angel decorations that go up every year at Christmas. The designs were originally painted in the 50s and the artist made them brown skinned, inspired by Native American artists' depictions of angels.

Apartment in NY and a condo in Florida? And selling one is going to make him homeless? Let me get my tiny, tiny violin.

There are probably many hundreds of thousands of people in the US who have had to downsize -- not go homeless, just move to a smaller place. Ghouliani doesn't need 2 podcast studios, he doesn't need 2 homes, he doesn't even need one luxury home.

LEAKED VIDEO: Texas Republicans Attended Meeting with Group That Suggested Violence and Jail For Women who Have Abortions and Use IVF ( www.texasdemocrats.org )

AUSTIN, Texas – Leaked video shows Hood County Constable Scott London, Hood County GOP Chair Steve Biggers and Hood County GOP Chair candidate Greg Harrell attending a meeting held by Abolish Abortion Texas (AATX) where they supported the death penalty for women who seek abortions or use IVF, including pregnant minors. London...

Not even promiscuous, really. Any woman who wants to have sex and also wants to avoid pregnancy is on their shit list. Doesn't matter if she's with one person for 20 years. Could even be married. Get an abortion, go to jail, oh wait no, the friggin electric chair.

dirthawker0 ,

Yeah, it's entirely theoretical. A medication might have a side effect that is known to be extremely rare, and this might cause a doctor to have to perform an abortion against their principles, so let's just take that medication away from everyone.

Seeding clouds for rain definitely affects weather, so I guess that's illegal now?

Major Asset Seizure Likely as Trump Can't Afford Bond for NY Fraud Case ( www.commondreams.org )

Less than a month after New York Attorney General Letitia James said she would be willing to seize former Republican President Donald Trump's assets if he is unable to pay the $464 million required by last month's judgment in his civil fraud case, Trump's lawyers disclosed in court filings Monday that he had failed to secure a...

Letitia James did say she had her eye on that building in particular, so of course they want to keep it out of her hands.

How does a person see these errors (and not just this but the many others) and not think this guy's brain has turned to algae? And continue to believe he is a viable candidate for president and will lead this country better? And vote for the algae?

Would CISA or some other government agency have (or assemble) a dedicated response team that would study videos and audio as they appear, quickly be able to determine if they are deep fakes, and publicize that information? Basically a fire department for disinformation?

Voters don’t have a clue about how much worse Trump’s second term would be ( www.inquirer.com )

This BTW is how you involve in the story the reality of what the voters think, which is an important portion of election coverage, while still upholding your basic journalistic responsibility to communicate to people what's actually going on.

I am much less likely to become a corpse myself. That was a genuinely scary period, people going crazy buying TP, minimal food on the shelves, getting stared at (and clerks surreptitiously wiping the grocery conveyor after I used it, but fortunately nothing violent) because I am Asian. And just the not knowing enough about transmission and prevention.

Republicans: but gas was so cheap!

Trump declared he would finish the job, as in complete the genocide, so I hope you won't help that happen. At least Biden is trying to give some relief to Palestinians. Being on Israel's side is US policy: they are our ally, for better or worse, for good or bad reasons. Personally, I think we should drop or reduce that alliance, but I'm not in charge.

Headline should be "Has No Idea How to Post That Massive Fraud Bond Without Actually Paying Any of His Own Money"

Opposition concedes that Newsom likely to eke out a win on Proposition 1 in California ( www.latimes.com )

Prop 1 would fund a $6.4 billion bond, of which $4.4 billion would go to sharply increasing the availability of substance abuse treatment, while the rest would build permanent supportive housing for unhoused folks. Half of that would go to housing for veterans with mental illness or addiction.

Affordable housing is key. Homeless people are homeless for a variety of reasons and there's not a one size fits all solution. However, the greater part (statistics vary, but they are the majority) of homelessness is caused by unaffordable housing which is a result of both low wages and overpriced housing.

He's had a lot of terrible things happen to him with regards to family, and he strikes me as someone whose tragedies stay close to his heart and remain fresh. He's very human. I'm okay with him forgetting which year he lost Beau, because I sometimes get mixed up on the year I lost my mom (5 years ago) and I never remember the exact year my dad passed away (20+ years ago).

Didn't Musk refuse to enable Starlink in Crimea? I'll be the first to admit I don't know how Starlink works, but wouldn't he have the same level of control over connections from terminals bought/used by Russia?

The level of glee here over a death is kind of appalling. Yeah, she was a billionaire, so was Steve Jobs. Related by marriage to Mitch does not make her responsible for Mitch's garbage decisions. I'm sure she has family and friends who are devastated. I had not heard anything about her existence before this, but even if she's a bad person she's still a human and drowning is an awful way to die.

Some newspapers and online news sources require a paid subscription to read the article. Subscribers can create a link to the article so people who don't have a subscription can read it. There's a limit to how many gift links a subscriber can create, in the case of Washington Post it's 10 per month.

Left liberal Asian American who's owned various pellet guns/rifles for plinking, and have a lovely antique shotgun that I've fired a handful of times. My dad passed and shortly before Covid, I ended up with his .22 Colt pistol from the 60s. Did the legal inheritance transfer, cleaned it up. Covid happened and although I knew there would never be a lynch mob at my doorstep, I felt a pinch safer having it around.

What the hell, why don't they just cut to the chase and put every woman of childbearing age in jail. Pretty sure that's what they really want.

dirthawker0 ,

Logic and consistency don't figure in Rapey's mind, just rhetoric and feels. He loves power; Putin is in power and is the boss of a corrupt state, so he admires Putin. Navalny is oppressed, but still admired and loved, and Rapey feels oppressed by the lawsuits and criminal charges against him, so he compares himself to that as well, never mind that Navalny was never in power.

dirthawker0 ,

I think this is the purpose of appointing a receiver for the Trump org. They would be authorized to sell assets to pay fines if needed.

dirthawker0 ,

And some dingaling supporter has started a GoFundMe to help out the poor guy hit by this very unfair and unjust fine

Hard to say for sure, but the lady sounds like a true believer.
