Given that this is the third time he’s been charged with defrauding people, I’m just kinda wondering what he thought was going to happen. I mean, he stole 200 million the first time around, so I can’t imagine he was short on cash unless he didn’t even bother to evade taxes and stash everything offshore. Which would be shocking.
The second thing that blows my mind is that he somehow squeezed 35 million out of 150 people. That’s an average commitment of 230k per person. Giant Ponzi schemes I get, but this is like a high school field trip’s worth of investors and he collected 35 million of off them. Wild.

Ambassador Xie Feng criticized U.S. curbs on the sale of microchips and chipmaking equipment to China that were imposed last year by the Biden administration. Beijing has described the measure as part of an effort to “contain” China.
“China does not shy away from competition, but the definition of competition by the U.S. side I think is not fair,” Xie said Wednesday at the Aspen Security Forum, a security and foreign policy conference in Aspen, Colorado. “The United States is trying to win by keeping China out,” he said, referring to measures to curb U.S. technology sales to Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei over security concerns.

China earlier this month imposed export curbs on two key metals used in computer chips and solar cells, a measure widely seen as retaliation for the U.S. restrictions on microchips. Earlier this year, Beijing restricted sales of products from Micron Inc., the biggest U.S. producer of memory chips.
Bullshit. They want all the money and power, and are simply pissed that their monopoly has been fractured. If Xi hadn’t decided that world domination was a goal for China the nation wouldn’t be in the dire straights it is now.
Foa said: “Lethal injection is designed to look like a clean, medical process. But lethal injection executions go wrong all the time. In Alabama, these have been demonstrably, miserably botched executions. Joe Nathan James Jr’s execution took three-and-a-half hours, prison officials repeatedly trying and failing to get access to a vein.”
There’s this delusion amongst transphobes that they can “always clock a tranny” and that they’re never wrong when they decide that someone is secretly trans because they have a more prominent Adam’s apple or something equally stupid. Of course the truth is that they’re wrong constantly and are just idiot bigots, which this illustrates rather poignantly unfortunately. They don’t really know who is or isn’t trans, they just want to pretend they know so they can feel vindicated by “recognizing” trans people, and they convince themselves that trans people can never truly blend in to society. Because if trans people really were capable of being indistinguishable from cis people, then that would mean that at some point they might have, gasp, treated a trans person like a human being and used the proper pronouns. The horror.
Of course trans people shouldn’t have to blend in, they shouldn’t have to pass to be treated as the gender they identify as, or with basic human decency.
It shows people that it’s not just trans people at risk due to this violent rhetoric the right spews. Everyone is at risk of being targeted even if they are perceived as trans.
I’m a cis man, but I don’t have the deepest voice, and I’ve been worried about this kind of thing happening for a while since I live in the south, and it looks like I was right to worry.

The guy in Oregon was stabbed while defending his trans friend.
Yes I know, I read the article. I was referring to the first incident with the perception remark, but it still makes sense to include it in the headline with the second scenario for clarity’s sake
All the other responses have been good but I think it helps to show to slightly more “moderate” transphobia who wouldn’t kill transfolks themselves but don’t think anti-trans rhetoric is that bad by showing that they themselves are also in danger.
You’ve admitted to trolling. You can’t really get pissy that the mod is doing their job by removing your trolling comments. You don’t have any leg to stand on here.
Based on the article’s admittedly poorly-wordered description, it sounds like the former. I think they were the would-be electors had Trump won the state – when called to the state’s GOP HQ, they signed a document claiming to have met in the state capitol, though they had not. When that certificate was submitted, that’s when the alleged fraud took place.
When states count the vote in a federal election they send a group of people called electors to the national congress. Those electors then cast that state’s electoral votes according to state law (usually winner-take-all but a couple states split proportionally). These people falsely claimed to be the electors from Michigan, selected according to Michigan law, and they intended to infiltrate the meeting of the electoral college and fraudulently cast Michigan’s electoral votes for Trump, who lost the state of Michigan in a free and fair election and was, by Michigan law, entitled to zero electoral votes. In doing so they also intended to deny Joe Biden the electoral votes of Michigan, which he had rightfully earned by winning a free and fair election.
The woman in Indiana was killed in the gazebo of her own apartment complex by a neighbor. I don’t think it should be necessary to carry a gun when you’re in a place like that. We shouldn’t have to be armed every time we so much as step out of our front door. That is not a society I want to live in.
