Genesis when Peter Gabriel was still with them.

Yeah that recent trucker convoy to the border really was super successful.

Guess whose portrait they had hung in the oval when Trump took over the job?

A pardon is essentially that. But only literally in the case of a conviction. You can issue blanket pardons which basically say "if you did something, you are pardoned". These do not have the direct acknowledgement of guilt but it's obviously heavily implied.

Trump VP contender Tim Scott doesn't want to talk about vice president's role in certifying election ( apnews.com )

Sen. Tim Scott, a potential running mate if Donald Trump becomes the Republican presidential nominee, is treading carefully on questions about whether he would have certified the 2020 election had he been vice president at that time....

"that you know can never happen again" is code for "we're not going to change the rules to prevent this because we're running this same play next time but we'll insurrect harder this time".

"Well, Judge, I purchased each pair at such a high price because my client, Mr. Ivan Oligarchsky, believed them to actually be solid gold and has no desire to return them."

"What's that? Oh, yes, the same is true of Sam Saudi, the other party I represented. He is also satisfied and would just like this whole thing to go away."

"As to my own culpability in assisting this alleged, ALLEGED, skirting of political fundraising guidelines (we don't like the term 'laws') I was acting as a broker for the rightful President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, so I declare immunity."

"Yes, I have seen The Office, why do you ask?"

"Mostly livestock law, you know 'was it coyotes or the damn Hendersons', but I have done some real estate for family. It's a small town. Very conservative. Not much call for lawyering."

Phoebe from Friends?

Here's the thing in my opinion: he doesn't have the cash so he's either going to con supporters out of money (he literally has a GoFundMe), or he's going to illegally use some other source of funding possibly draining coffers he'd use to campaign, or he's going to sell some assets.

All of these scenarios affect him negatively.

Lots of his idiotic supporters are finally cluing into the fact that he's been conning them for years. His stupid ATM scam, the nft scam, his bs charity and university, etc. A lot of them are not smart enough to connect the dots but some of them are.

The using money earmarked for campaigning one could be illegal or not depending but he tends to get people to do illegal things because he thinks he won't personally get in trouble and it's faster and easier to get what he wants that way. People who have donated heavily (large and small donors) might not like this.

Selling assets will expose how leveraged he is. If he was as rich as he said he'd just write a cheque. It will also be a very public transaction that he'll be negotiating at a tremendous disadvantage.

These add up and remove a safety net he will need as he receives further judgements against him.

Good thing the Republicans are doing as much lying and criminal activity as possible to unite everyone! Phew.

grabyourmotherskeys , (edited )

It's so transparent.

Putin gets Tucker to come over, platforms himself to the idiots in the US, they go around on news interviews saying how he's not so bad, Putin has Navalny killed n an obvious way, cognitive dissonance ensues, Republicans become further entrenched rather than admit they are beholden to a dictator and his boss, Putin.

It's like a mob boss putting a cigarette out in a bought cop's beer he gave him then insisting he finish it. A little reminder of who is in charge.

grabyourmotherskeys ,

They went to war on the say so of some random guy insisting Iraq had wmd so not super shocked about this.

grabyourmotherskeys ,

Good point.

grabyourmotherskeys ,

Maybe google "Trump inf treaty".

grabyourmotherskeys ,

EMP taking out global communication and GPS systems. Yeah, no big deal.

grabyourmotherskeys ,

Just one more crazy thing he did to help Russia that no one in the general public remembers outside of news junkies. That's all part of the "flood the zone" strategy that Bannon talks about (but it predates Bannon).

grabyourmotherskeys ,

Look at it this way. What's a bigger deal? A fox in the henhouse or a fox on the other side of the pasture in the sights of your rifle?

Hypothetically, a nuke platform in orbit could just lay waste to a massive amount of communication infrastructure. For Russia, operating in Europe, they can rely on encrypted radio comms from London to the Kremlin but the US is on the other side of the planet. US superiority is heavily reliant on things like satellite intelligence, remote guided ordinance, and a central command well back from the theatre of operations.

It would give Russia's outdated crap military a huge leg up and level the playing field somewhat.

I'm not an expert so all that is just me freestyling but how does it sound? Does it sound like a threat to US military effectiveness in Europe?

Russia still has to contend with European armies but they have nukes that they could use tactically in the region. If it's your home turf, you'll surrender before risking that.

People who can't see this just blow mind.

grabyourmotherskeys ,

The fact that noone has set off a dirty bomb in NY harbour is either a miracle or an indication that it's not a priority for "the terrorists".

grabyourmotherskeys ,

That would infuriate his big money backers who rely on undocumented workers.

grabyourmotherskeys ,

Translation: he gave me a lot of money.

grabyourmotherskeys ,

According to a legal podcast I listened to every case they cited as precedent was overturned by a higher court. Good stuff, interns.

grabyourmotherskeys ,

Probably

Now that Thomas is back on the mic I'm listening to Opening Arguments again.

If Biden made an anti-cannabalism speech, R's would be coming out for it in hours. And don't forget how Russia is totally cool with cannabalism for that tip of the hat to the far right.

Excellent use of classic meme, compadre.

"We have always been at war with Eurasia."

grabyourmotherskeys ,

Tells people to cope and seethe while coping and seething. Lol.

grabyourmotherskeys ,

Maybe if people hadn't made fun of me wanting to use pgp for all communications in the late 90s we could have avoided this. The fact that everything we do isn't subject to digital signature verification is nuts.

grabyourmotherskeys ,

I really think a lot of this is "the other popular kids are doing it" and boards and VC saying basically the same thing to the c-suite.

Fire and rain - James Taylor

Or sometimes Never Going Back - Fleetwood Mac

When it's driving me nuts I blast the song and sing along on repeat a few times and it stops.

I just wanted to complain about peanuts

Trying to eat healthier, (edit for me this means lower sugar, less carbs, more protein) and it seems like everything that is sweet, sweet-ish, or a snack but also sold as healthy has peanuts or is peanuts. I'm not allergic to it, but I am tired of peanut butter cookies, peanuts in a snack bar, peanuts on their own, peanuts in a...

Great mixed into salads.

"I'm going to get elected and pardon both of us if we're caught" goes a long way with an idiot that graduated at the bottom of their class at law school and otherwise has no real future that comports with their ego.

Navigated Boston a few times using only a road map (long time ago). My spouse and I always cite it as proof our relationship can handle anything.

Couldn't even find Havard.

And UAP agenda!

I'm all for it.

MAGA Is Based on Fear, Not Grounded in Reality ( www.nytimes.com )

Yet such fantasies are now the common currency of politics on the American right. Remember the days when pundits solemnly declared that Trumpism was caused by economic anxiety? Well, despite a booming economy, there’s still plenty of justified anxiety out there, reflecting many people’s real struggles: America is still a...

If you don't say "water-wise", how can I know what you are referring to?

grabyourmotherskeys ,

If anyone cares about a 50 year olds opinion, I've been hearing warnings about the environment since I was a kid, including in things published before I was born. This is only news to people who didn't want to know.

grabyourmotherskeys ,

I don't find it funny at all and have to say my faith in humanity was absolutely crushed (below rock bottom) when he wasn't immediately cast out after the tape came out. My mother (in her 80s) was like "yeah, that's what we're dealing with, son".

It's not locker room talk, it's rapist talk.

grabyourmotherskeys ,

I don't know much about it her particular case but have had mean bosses (like one guy thought it would be funny to drug me with something, no idea what, when I asked for an advil - it was in a different country, he told me that's why it looked different; another would scream at grown men until they cried). I have known lots of people whose lives were terrorized at work by monsters who knew they needed the job and had to take it. It's not ok.

grabyourmotherskeys ,

Exactly, we all know what terrible person he is because of this.

grabyourmotherskeys ,

Your honour, my client is destitute and refuses to pay because I provided him with inadequate counsel.

No, judge, I realize the paper doesn't say that. I'm telling you I completely screwed up but he should still pay me anyway.

What's that? Oh, yes, I am representing myself. Thanks for asking!

    Been using this lately and really like that all my searches don't result in 200 pages of products.

    Help with a player that likes the idea of being a caster, but not the mechanics

    I've been a DM for about 3 years, and have predominantly run one-shots and short campaigns in DnD5e and PF2e. I have a player who persistently builds primary caster based characters, but then won't do anything in combat but "I stab it with my dagger." They rarely use cantrips, and basically won't cast a leveled spell unless I...

    Modeling themselves after Tolkien where magic is only used in the direst of circumstances, maybe?

    grabyourmotherskeys ,

    I love all this but it would survive contact with my family. :)

    I have tried to set stuff like up but mainly in my wfh office and then just as an experiment.
