Good. I have grown tired of the brainwashed reformed criminal that spends all his time being overly aggressive about religion and downright hateful with it.
There is not a large number of people who think children should be made to spend 100% of the time at school, including being made to sleep there. People are interpreting that person’s obvious sarcasm seriously so they can be upset about i t. Not necessarily intentionally, they may just be dense. But that’s what they’re doing.
It has EVERYTHING to do with what that person is saying - 'troubled teens' is just how many of them justify abuses. Normal teenage behaviour, or even signs of LGBT+ or autism/ADHD are enough to get you sent to one.
No it has absolutely nothing to do with what that person said. That person was making a fucking joke and you are running wild with it like a crazy person. Cut it out.
I'm just saying it's possible he was 100% serious, like flat earthers and anti-vax. It's possible to be 100% serious and completely idiotic at the same time
I didn't make any commentary about how likely one or the other is, I just said 'some people genuinely believe these things'. I don't know them, I don't know you, what I do know is that there are people out there that actually believe this stuff and actually send their kids to them all because they had the nerve to answer back.
You're right, it's far more likely they're a sane person being sarcastic, but Poe's law is a very real thing. Because some people actually sound like this.
Seeing this, wouldn't anyone, who isn't part of the hard core of the POS base, get really PO'd and motivated to do all the poll work etc to push the GOPers out? This isn't a long term strategy, and it's coming from a minority of eligible voters. So wouldn't they likely lose in the long run? Not flexible enough to keep with the changing times; they make themselves irrelevant. SMH
The federal government needs to go in and force the legislature to uphold its obligation the the rest of these United States. As Tom cotton once said: “send in the troops”
The goal is to set the trial as l late as she can get away with, then stall, stall, and stall some more in hopes he can get reelected before it ends and then just pardon himself.
They’re going to try to cheat and they’ve been working on that since last time to make that happen. They’re putting their side in charge of elections, redistricting, etc. While the press talks about Bobo & the clown and trump, they’re working on stuff behind the scenes.
Generally speaking, they were already in charge of elections & redistricting for a lot of states. The "Independent Legislature" thing the SCotUS kicked to the curb was their only real shot they had for outright "legally" stealing an election. Mathematically speaking, you can only gerrymander a given area so much & that hardly matters for Senate & Presidential elections.
They "caught the car" with Roe vs. Wade & don't know how the fuck to recover from that mistake.
"Wokeness" is about 3 times more popular than the GOP.
The GOP has lost 10 of their last 12 special elections, some of those in areas they were never supposed to lose.
Last time I looked, COVID was still killing 100 very likely GOP adherents every single day in the USA.
Millennials hate the GOP, almost monolithically. Demographics are going to crush the GOP in the next two elections.
I hope you’re right, but I know a lot of these state legislatures are doing their best to gerrymander, and otherwise rig elections. Some states are fighting that (Michigan is majority dem for the first time in forever because of a separate, non-politician run redistricting committee and expanded voting rights bills), but there are a lot (see North Carolina, and Alabama’s refusal to create a second majority black district even though they have been ordered to do so by the Supreme Court.
He won last time when everyone wrote him off. We shouldn’t make the same mistake again.
He’s not just a GOP candidate, he is the champion of grifters and fearful white people. I have lots of people who live near me with trump paraphernalia outside their houses and prominently displayed in their places of business. They are so invested in him that logic takes a back seat to the need to win.

All it takes is enough people who aren't fully committed Trump voters in swing states finding it difficult to vote, or ending up not voting out of apathy. Or those states picking electors who will give the votes to Trump regardless of who wins the vote. A Trump victory can't be ruled out even with what should be several major disqualifying factors running against him. That's more an indictment of America than a credit to the strength of his candidacy, frankly.
I dunno I still see this helping Democrats in the end. R will give him the nomination with all his fans proclaiming with great sureness that a presently campaigning former president who is trying to be re-elected cannot be convicted, then BOOM he gets convicted <6 months prior to the election. Then what?
@pelespirit mentioned that there are behind-the-scenes machinations to disrupt the process, and that’s a very valid concern, but I don’t see how it could be close enough to make a difference though if Trump is convicted of any charges that have been brought.
I canceled and then my moochers signed up for their own.
This was where Netflix planned to make their money back from folks that cancel. I’m sure they ran the numbers and arrived at the “more money” answer when they enforce sharing crackdown.
Trumps Lawyer Sydney Powell directed people to break into a voting machine for its data. Trump asked Georgia’s secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, to “find” 11,780 votes and threatened repercussions if he didn’t.
They are politicians, nothing happens.
We’ve had politicians coordinate openly in public with armed insurrections, no response.
We’ve had politicians trafficking humans, no response.
When Alabama refused to desegregate it’s schools after a supreme court order Eisenhower sent the national guard to do it. The job of the executive branch is to carry out laws and rulings
An uptick after these changes make sense. People want to continue their comfortable routines. However now that it’s draining their wallet, they will probably be on the lookout for cheap/free alternatives.
It’s the same with increasing prices. Short term your revenue will spike, but it will bleed as you slowly lose customers because you offer less value.
But the people who were previously paying is where Netflix is playing with fire. They released the customers who were paying only because they were sharing it and didnt want to cause an inconvenience.
I think it’s a pretty big gamble by Netflix, it will take time to see how it played out.
I did that for years. Checked usage and found out the other couple people I was sharing with weren't using it anyways.
Cancelled after 10 years.
Sure they might have gained a few subscribers short term, but are they the type to just let the sub roll for a decade straight or will they just watch what they want and cancel until they can re-sub and binge again?
I wasn’t sharing my password with anyone but the complete 180 they did on their own policy to chase dollars pissed me off so I cancelled. Been a subscriber since the first year they came out. Oh well.
Gotta edge a bit closer to that trust thermocline. I feel like it’s pretty much guaranteed for at least one of the major streaming services to all but collapse in the next 5 years. There’s just too many and something will happen to push people into leaving them.
Imagine packing the court with conservative stooges, doing something SO unconstitutional that those stooges tell you to stop, then defying the orders of your lopsided Supreme Court, that you built yourself.
The Fulton county district attorney investigating Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the state of Georgia has developed evidence to charge a sprawling racketeering indictment next month, according to two people briefed on the matter.
Georgia grand jury selected in Trump case over attempt to overturn 2020 defeat Read more The racketeering statute in Georgia requires prosecutors to show the existence of an “enterprise” – and a pattern of racketeering activity that is predicated on at least two “qualifying” crimes.
In the Trump investigation, the Fulton county district attorney, Fani Willis, has evidence to pursue a racketeering indictment predicated on statutes related to influencing witnesses and computer trespass, the people said.
Willis had previously said she was weighing racketeering charges in her criminal investigation, but the new details about the direction and scope of the case come as prosecutors are expected to seek indictments starting in the first two weeks of August.
The racketeering statute in Georgia is more expansive than its federal counterpart, notably because any attempts to solicit or coerce the qualifying crimes can be included as predicate acts of racketeering activity, even when those crimes cannot be indicted separately.
The specific evidence was not clear, though the charge regarding influencing witnesses could include Trump’s conversations with Georgia’s secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, in which he asked Raffensperger to “find” 11,780 votes, the people said – and thereby implicate Trump.
For the computer trespass charge, where prosecutors would have to show that defendants used a computer or network without authority to interfere with a program or data, that would include the breach of voting machines in Coffee county, the two people said.
The breach of voting machines involved a group of Trump operatives – paid by the then Trump lawyer Sidney Powell – accessing the voting machines at the county’s election office and copying sensitive voting system data.
The copied data from the Dominion Voting Systems machines, which are used statewide in Georgia, was then uploaded to a password-protected site from where election deniers could download the materials as part of a misguided effort to prove the 2020 election had been rigged.
Though Coffee county is outside the usual jurisdiction of the Fulton county district attorney’s office, the racketeering statute would allow prosecutors to also charge what the Trump operatives did there by showing it was all aimed towards the goal of corruptly keeping Trump in office.
A spokesperson for Willis did not respond to requests for comment.
