Conviction
Sentencing

Other grand juries, such as for the documents at Bedminster, or the Arizona fake electors, have not been announced.

The E. Jean Carroll trial for sexual assault and defamation where Trump was found liable and ordered to pay $5 million before immediately defaming her again resulting in a demand for $10 million is not listed as it’s a civil case and not a crimimal one. He was found liable in that case for $83.3 million.

There had been multiple cases in multiple states to remove Trump from the ballot, citing ineligibility under the 14th amendment.

The Supreme Court ruled on March 4th that states do not have the ability to determine eligibility in Federal elections.

SpaceNoodle ,

The AP is as biased as reality, you stupid fucking robot.

BrundleFly2077 ,

Not arguing, just curious. I don’t understand your comment. Are you saying the AP is more or less biased the robot says it is?

SpaceNoodle ,

Less biased. It’s literally where news comes from.

MajinBlayze ,

Reality has a left leaning bias

IamSparticles , in Drivers Hate The Tech In Their Cars

I think I got my car at the right time… it has Android Auto and a few automated features that I really appreciate, like auto headlights, pushbutton start, and adaptive cruise control. I can control some functions via an app on my phone, like remote unlock and remote start, which has come in very handy on several occasions. But it still has physical controls for all the commonly used and critical functions. It doesn’t have a huge glass panel taking up most of the dashboard.

The one and only feature that really truly annoys me sometimes is the reverse automatic braking. It uses sensors on the back of the car, and if I have my hitch-mount bike rack in place it freaks out. I can disable it, but only until the next time I start the car, and every time I have to hold down a software button on the touch screen for 3 seconds. While I’m trying to back up. There should really be a physical toggle button for that.

They’re also likely doing it to the monkeys because the consequences are lighter than doing it to humans (not that that makes it more or less ok). Note that they want to see them in diapers and bottle-fed, which is not something monkeys typically do. Specifically, I suspect that while the acts are likely illegal, possessing the media itself probably isn’t, while it very much would be if it was a human child.

I used to work on a unit for men with charges, so we often got men who could not be placed on the coed unit next door. One time when we had a particularly high number of men on suicide watch, a member of administration came to investigate why we had so many. I informed him that many of them were due to sexual misconduct; they would engage in self-injurious behavior so that they would have 1:1 observation assigned, which is a task mostly done by nursing assistants. Because Healthcare is largely female dominated and nursing assistant is often a role for less experienced workers or those in school, most of the nursing assistants were female and in their early 20s (if not 18-19). They then had a young woman to masturbate to that would literally be fired if they lost line of sight.

These observations were also usually ordered by a male doctor who wanted to play it safe rather than risk his medical license on one of them being willing to actually off themselves when he could have ordered the observation. I typically managed this by making sure to assign a male staff member, (and in particular the gassy one when possible since he preferred sitting to rounding anyway), but I wasn’t always on shift to make those assignments and often even when I was there were only female staff members on duty and the best I could do was assigning the bitchiest middle aged woman possible, but I digress.

The admin guy wanted to know if they were somehow misguided enough that they thought this would be sexually appealing because some fucking how the (as it turned out) director of psychiatry for the hospital didn’t have the perspective to understand that that was just the closest they could get to regularly raping someone without consequences (I will give him the grace of understanding that he was not and likely never was a forensic psychiatrist).

TLDR; what they can “get away with” is definitely a factor here. This isn’t them getting off on the most extreme thing possible. They would do worse / more illicit if they could.

All I want is tactile controls. I wanna feel when I hit the aircon control and know it’s distinct from the volume control. And I wanna feel each increment of all knobs. That way, I do it by feel instead of having to look at the control panel.

Enthusiasticwhale ,

Yeah tactile buttons and if you are like the mini and go beyond… Dip switches are the way

That was the best they could do? A balloon?

I understand it’s a bit deflated, but my god. I reckon the smugglers could’ve landed at least six figures for a truck sized haul of hard drugs, so surely they could afford a better disguising apparatus than balloons.

Either way good riddance.

jewbacca117 ,

I firmly believe the cartels let some shipments get caught. $5 mil of meth really isn’t that much.

IamSparticles , in Raids of Latino political, civil rights leaders' homes set up voting rights battle in TX

The warrant ordered the seizure of all electronic devices at her home, allowed for the opening of documents that were business-, organization- or election-related, and authorized swabbing for DNA.

I’m trying to comprehend how they could possibly justify DNA swabbing someone’s house as part of a witch hunt for election fraud. Are they going to try to establish that illegal immigrants were in the home and possibly voted?

@empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Fear. The point is to establish fear. And also a nice government Registry of some “inconvenient” liberals to be dealt with later.

IamSparticles ,

Oh, I understand their objective. But they had to ask a judge to okay the search warrant, and I’m mystified how a request for DNA evidence didn’t raise any eyebrows. They run the risk of having the entire warrant invalidated if another judge decides that this one was too broad.

An LLM summary. I don’t know if it is correct:

The article discusses the case of Philip Colt Moss, a lawyer from Des Moines, Iowa, who faced legal issues related to drug charges in 2017 after a raid on his home uncovered various illegal substances. Moss’s lawyer argued that he needed help rather than punishment, leading to Moss entering an inpatient treatment facility. He eventually pled guilty to misdemeanors and received probation.

However, years later, Moss became embroiled in a serious federal investigation concerning his involvement in a disturbing online community that shared and created “monkey crush” videos, which depicted the torture of monkeys. The investigation revealed that Moss communicated with the ringleader of this group via encrypted messaging apps, discussing drug use and the community’s activities. He was arrested on August 8, 2024, and now faces the possibility of significant prison time as the Department of Justice has unsealed an indictment against him. The article highlights the dark side of internet communities and the severe consequences of Moss’s actions.

That’s frightening. Good thing he’s a lying liar and might be making this up. And the orange man is also a lying liar, so even if he made promises, they aren’t locked in.
