mriguy , to politics in Trump trusted more than Biden on democracy among key swing-state voters

“The media has wildly succeeded in its effort to misinform many voters” would be more correct. This has been a relentless, deliberate strategy. If they had just been incompetent it would not be this lopsidedly wrong.

mriguy , to politics in Alex Jones agrees to liquidate his assets to pay Sandy Hook families, in move that would end his ownership of Infowars

If they own infowars, they’ll come into possession of a lot of information about the fans, won’t they? Mail them targeted deprogramming material.

mriguy , to politics in "That's when judges hand down jail time": Ex-NY prosecutors say Trump is daring judge with outburst

Yeah, but unfortunately with how charged everything is if he gets anything he will claim political persecution and try to be a martyr

He’s doing that now. He will do it if he is sentenced, and ALSO if he doesn’t get jail time. Appeasing him gets you exactly nothing.

( his campaign has claimed they already raised 55m since the conviction).

His campaign claims a lot of things, none of them true. It would be surprising if this turned out to be the first time they weren’t lying.

It's why I think he didn't get really anything bad when he violated the gag order so much.

I think the judge was going overboard to give every benefit of the doubt to Trump so there would be no basis for appeal. I hope that’s the case.

mriguy , to Technology in A Staggering 19x Energy Jump in Capacitors May Be the Beginning of the End for Batteries

There’s an old saying: “Graphene is so versatile it can do anything except leave the laboratory”.

mriguy , to politics in NPR editor who alleged left-wing bias at network suspended

But what is the value of having those interviews? Platforming somebody who is just going to tell flat out lies, and not calling them out, doesn’t inform the viewer of anything other than that watching that news outlet is a waste of time.

mriguy , to politics in NPR editor who alleged left-wing bias at network suspended

They’ve been doing that at least since the GWB years, which is why I stopped listening to them then.

mriguy , to politics in Less than a day before first criminal trial begins, Trump attacks judge—again

What logistics? You put him in a jail. Works for other people. “What about secret service protection?” They can go there with him. They can go home at night though. If you worry about his safety, put him in his own personal prison on an abandoned military base. It worked for Rudolph Hess.

It’s only hard if you make it hard.

mriguy , to politics in Arizona Republicans Shut Down Effort to Repeal 1864 Abortion Ban

You’d think that, but since the 80s they’ve managed to do an enormous amount of damage and drag the country to the brink of ruin just by being obstructionist and crazy. Seems like a strategy, and a fairly effective one.

mriguy , to politics in Dems who censured Rep. Tlaib over Palestine comments largely silent on GOP Rep's call for nukes

You mean like this?

mriguy , to Work Reform in If they're people, why aren't they in prison?

“I’ll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one.”

mriguy , to politics in Trump urges Israel to 'finish up' its Gaza offensive and warns about global support fading

A “final solution” if you will.

mriguy , to politics in Biden trolls Trump for boasting about golf trophies: ‘Quite the accomplishment’

Can we just skip to the end part of the Ceaucescu story?

mriguy , to politics in Full list of Donald Trump's properties Letitia James is about to take

You did. I jumped the gun after reading the first paragraph. Sorry.

mriguy , to politics in Panic mode sets in for Trump as he faces deadline for massive bond | CNN Politics

The only reason he’s gotten away with it so far is that people thought he was rich. But since it’s all loans, it turns out he’s not. As a result, he’s starting to have to play by the normal people rules, and that’s going to suck for him.

mriguy , to politics in Full list of Donald Trump's properties Letitia James is about to take

Third of all, this is a state judgement, not a federal one. So he can’t pardon himself.
