If anything I can imagine earthquakes make it worse. I assume they’d Shock Doctrine all of that newly cleared space and build condos that they sell for ten times as much as whatever stood there before… But I don’t know, I’m not a seismologist.
Better yet, buy a huge amount of bitcoin and dump it at the height of the 2018 surge. Stocks implies you have a reasonable amount of money to start with, but bitcoin was worth pennies at the beginning.
The guy that invented the GIF said it is pronounced Jif. And of course that is a common pronunciation for “gi” words, like gin, giraffe, ginger, giant, ginseng, and so on.
And before you say “but the g stands for graphics” tell me about what the p in MPEG stands for.
First, you take the dinglepop, and you smooth it out with a bunch of schleem. The schleem is then repurposed for later batches.
Then you take the dinglebop and push it through the grumbo, where the fleeb is rubbed against it. It’s important that the fleeb is rubbed, because the fleeb has all of the fleeb juice.
Then a Shlami shows up and he rubs it, and spits on it.
Then you cut the fleeb. There’s several hizzards in the way.
The blaffs rub against the chumbles, and the plubus and grumbo are shaved away.
Don’t look at the conviction rate for federal prosecutors then. And stock up on BBQ sauce. A NY jury would convict Trump of just being fat and ugly, that’s how much everyone (including Republicans) hate him. People literally go out of their way to make their dogs pee on Trump Tower.
You will just change your mind and say “He should have gotten more time! 5 years is nothing. House arrest? His house is huge!”
For a former president, that’s the worst possible.
Such a high win rate for federal prosecutions is indicative of a problem. Whether that be only taking cases which they are assured victory or winning against those who are not guilty, they’re both wrong.
The criminal justice system is intended to be biased in favor of the defendants as innocent until proven guilty. Consequently, if everything were working perfectly, I'd expect prosecutors to only charge people if they were extremely confident that they could prove the person's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Taking cases without solid evidence and regularly losing at trial would be indicative of a major problem.
Republican voters absolutely still love him. Just look at early polling for the GOP primaries, he’s still leading by a huge landslide in the majority of states: nytimes.com/…/2024-poll-nyt-siena-trump-republica…
Is it depressing as hell that so many people are still obsessed with this corrupt, shitty buffoon? Definitely. But I keep seeing more and more comments on here acting like Trump is irrelevant and his base is virtually non-existent when that’s just not true (which is ironic, given how one of the main criticisms against Trump and his ilk is their detachment from reality).
The thing is that they, like state and local prosecutors, prosecute poor people who can’t afford effective representation tens if not hundreds of times as often.
If you isolate their stats with regards to rich and/or powerful defendants like the Mango Mussolini, suddenly they don’t convict at anywhere near that rate.
The difference is so immense that even an obviously guilty oaf with incompetent and unhinged lawyers like him is more likely than not to win or at the very least delay until his own death at his country club home.
Have you met people? It just takes one toxic person to plummet the morale and forever change the social environment. It takes a willingness from all members to foster a healthy community. It’s fragile and takes effort.
It’s a lemmynsfw account, so I’m fairly confident they would be engaged in other “activity” than commenting when using that account. Unlikely to be a bot.
And in the explosion, new YouTuber starlets are born as they comment on the drama and call out the megastar’s wrongdoing. It’s the ciiiircle of YouTube.
Maybe the next headline will be “State of Georgia indicts Linus Sebastian for his role in Trump election fraud.”
Or maybe Obi Wan will show up to see if we know where he is and inform us that Linus killed the younglings.
Or maybe it will turn out that Linus never existed in the first place and LMG has just been a series of deepfakes created by Steve from GN but he’s tired of it and this is how he’s winding it down.
