MonsieurHedge , in Poland says two Belarusian helicopters violated its airspace, adding to tensions
@MonsieurHedge@kbin.social avatar

They can't possibly attack Poland and risk a NATO response. This is posturing.

JJROKCZ ,

Posturing or just green idiot pilots since all the trained pilots have died in Ukraine already

Rednax ,

Would you train green pilots in a location where they can cause an international incident on their first oopsie of the day?
I'd say you only would if you wanted them to make said oopsies.

The pilots may be idiots, but the people who made them train so close to the border are not.

awwwyissss ,

These are Belarusian choppers not Russian

drbluefall ,

Given that Belarus is part of the CSTO, and how close Belarus is to Russia politically, this feels like a distinction without a difference.

JJROKCZ ,

It’s a puppet state of Russia, there’s no difference

awwwyissss ,

It’s a puppet state but Belarus’ military isn’t in the war.

I love a good indictment day. Lock him up!

I'm loving this bit of info:

In this case, Trump is also facing a serious Washington, D.C., federal judge with years of experience, Tobias said. The case has been assigned to Judge Tanya S. Chutkan.

According to The Associated Press, Chutkan stood out for her tough punishment for Jan. 6 rioters. In at least seven cases examined by the AP, Chutkan imposed harsher penalties than what federal prosecutors sought for those rioters.

The AP wrote, "Chutkan, a former assistant public defender who was nominated to the bench by President Barack Obama, has consistently taken the hardest line against Jan. 6 defendants of any judge serving on Washington's federal trial court, which is handling the more than 800 cases brought so far in the largest prosecution in Justice Department history.

This is Trump's worst nightmare - on trial for the crime of the century before a judge appointed by his nemesis, who just happens to be a black woman from Jamaicia. I betting you could make a Jackson Pollock painting out of all the ketchup on the walls at Mar A Lago right now.

And there was much rejoicing!

jordanlund ,

The other 800 cases means we might not get a trial as fast as we’d like. :(

roguetrick ,

Defense will be the ones dragging their feet, not prosecution or the judge. Lots of witnesses they need to interview that prosecution already did. I wouldn't expect a quick resolution.

bibliotectress ,

I’m worried he’ll be voted president again because people are clearly insane, be found guilty, and then use the “sitting presidents can’t be guilty” memo defense he used last time.

I love Wikipedia. Her article has already been updated.

She is the judge overseeing the criminal trial of former U.S. president Donald J. Trump over the events leading up to the January 6, 2021, United States Capitol attack.

burntbutterbiscuits ,

He’s going to have to grift his followers by selling that painting.

moistclump ,

I saw someone refer to her appointment on the case as random. How random is the appointment of a judge and who decides or oversees or matches em up?

MostlyBirds ,
@MostlyBirds@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t know if it varies by district, but yes, federal cases are randomly assigned a judge from that district.

Oh god, the conspiracy theories that are going to arise out of this…

dis_honestfamiliar , in The Pentagon is pulling 1,100 troops from the US-Mexico border mission

Let’s go back to build the wall? Where we spend millions to build a wall, no wait, where we give away money to contractors to build a fence.

aphonefriend , in Poland says two Belarusian helicopters violated its airspace, adding to tensions
@aphonefriend@lemmy.world avatar

Poland should “posture” back by blowing them out of their sovereign air space.

red_october , in The Pentagon is pulling 1,100 troops from the US-Mexico border mission

Probably getting ready to use them in a UN mission in Haiti tbh, wouldn’t be the first (or the third) time.

cooopsspace , in Trump was just indicted for trying to steal the 2020 election

Biden will pardon him to avoid a civil war with the MAG-GOTS. But I’m just waiting for him to actually go to jail.

I highly doubt that Biden would do that lol

uphillbothways , (edited ) in China denies reports it obstructed G20 climate discussions
@uphillbothways@kbin.social avatar

An earlier version of a Financial Times article (archived here: https://archive.is/wzgUP#selection-2349.168-2349.331) mentions how: "Beijing’s decision to dispatch Guo Xiaofeng to Chennai, a diplomat with a reputation for obstructionism, signalled China’s resistance to the G20 process this week."

Interestingly, the article has since been altered to remove any names of the Chinese team. (current version available here: https://www.ft.com/content/3c8bab17-5719-4174-9a96-3cf04ef0b968)

Trying to find current references to any members of the Chinese delegation has been extremely difficult, as if their names where purposely scrubbed from news sources to enable China to issue blanket denials of this nature. Not sure what kind of intimidation behind the scenes was required to make that happen. But, these web archives are very useful in this circumstance.

Lots of people claim to be lovers of science and ignore or are oblivious to the fact that the majority of the history of science is filled with crazy shit. Glad TSF paid up, an acknowledgment that wrong was done.

This chicanery suggests that the Russian defensive egg shell in occupied Ukraine is about to crack.

Page 30

The Deputy White House Counsel reiterated to Co-Conspirator 4 that there had not been outcome-determinative fraud in the election and that if the Defendant remained in office nonetheless, there would be “riots in every major city in the United States.” Co-Conspirator 4 responded, “Well, [Deputy White House Counsel], that’s why there’s an Insurrection Act.”

… they were planning to use the Insurrection Act to stomp any resistance to Trump staying in office. Full-on dictatorship-style military coup and mass arrests, or worse. (Not news, but still stunning to see it in writing in an indictment.)

MicroWave OP ,
@MicroWave@lemmy.world avatar

What a bunch of lunatics. I wonder who Co-Conspirator 4 was.

TransplantedSconie , (edited )

Eastman or Clark I think.

Edit: it’s Clark. If you read the indictment conspirator #4 is “a justice dept offical”
