For some relevant info from the article, here’s a summary of the charges Trump is facing in Washington, D.C., for attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election:
one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States applies to Trump’s repeated and widespread efforts to spread false claims about the November 2020 election while knowing they were not true and for allegedly attempting to illegally discount legitimate votes all with the goal of overturning the 2020 election, prosecutors claim in the indictment.
one count of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding was brought due to the alleged organized planning by Trump and his allies to disrupt the electoral vote’s certification in January 2021.
one count of obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding is tied to Trump and his co-defendants’ alleged efforts after the November 2020 election until Jan. 7, 2021, to block the official certification proceeding in Congress.
one count of conspiracy against rights refers to Trump and his co-conspirators alleged attempts to “oppress, threaten and intimidate” people in their right to vote in an election.
The charge of “conspiracy against rights” goes back to the Civil War era.
It was passed after the Civil War as a way to stop members of the Ku Klux Klan and other similar organizations from intimidating, harassing and outright terrorizing Black voters especially in the South.
Minnesota should rightfully take New Hampshire’s Live Free or Die motto. What a joke. It should be:
Live Free Except for a Plant We Purposely Labeled a Schedule One Drug Because of Black People, Latinos, and an Ancient White Guy Who Was Scared that His Paper Mills Would be Worthless with the Invention of a Faster Hemp Cultivator.
Detail I tracked down when this was posted yesterday, reposted here for a bit of additional info:
Prestige Biotech was a creditor for and acquired the assets of Universal Meditech when the company collapsed. Prestige was storing what was left of Universal in this warehouse.
Universal Meditech was selling SARS test kits that got recalled in February of last year, which likely led to their bankruptcy. My guess is that Prestige didn't have the available funding to properly dispose of the biohazards or care for the test subjects, ended up with a bunch of infectious mice that they couldn't get rid of legally, and just decided to warehouse them in Fresno until they came up with a solution.
The OP's article adds the important detail that Prestige wasn't licensed in California, so I theorize this may become a criminal case, especially given the press it's getting.
A president can pardon federal crimes but not state crimes.
Georgia law makes pardons an option only five years after the completion of a sentence. Getting a sentence commuted would require the approval of a state panel.
You ask me? Donny boy is royally fucked. The documents case is a few steps too far, and even a rich former president of the US will have to sit behind bars for that one. Hey SHOULD be in jail already for that one.
…aight so I’m fucking stupid or something and can’t figure out how to link to another user’s comment (it’s just the chain link icon literally on the comment right? …but when I click that it directs to a different comment… is this a bug or am I really just stupid?) but I don’t want to just steal this guy’s work, some I’m linking to his profile instead:
Seems like a pretty complicated business model.. according to the article, if I have this correct, customers order his burgers and they’re made at another location? Like your burger could be made at a McDonald’s or a steak place? Then it’s delivered to the customers? I’ve never even heard of a MrBeast burger… damn.. now ****I want a burger 🍔 😑
Basically, but not McDonald’s. I think Mrbeast burgers are prepared by an Italian restaurant called Buca de beppos, or a different chain within the conglomerate that Buca belongs to. so you would order mrbeast burger on doordash, but initially the app wouldn’t tell you that it’s not a real brick and mortar restaurant. They are called ghost restaurants and they are typically terrible across the board.
I enjoyed that video immensely! Thank you for sharing it! Definitely confusing and a little weird to think one kitchen can put out 44 restaurant’s menus. And I’ve personally never ordered food from any Uber eats/doordash etc. If I want a burger, I just make it at home…I’m probably in the minority here.. 😂
I just finished reading every last word of the indictment. Interesting read. Trump and several of his co-conspirators are absolutely fucked (IMHO; I’m no lawyer).
When I got to the end of the document I noticed a particularly poetic coincidence: “45”. As in, forty-five pages. President Forty-Five, the worst president this country has ever seen, and the first nail in his treasonous and metaphorical coffin ends with a sort of signature from the Defendent himself… 45.
My wife and I recently started making Kombucha to help with my IBS and have been flabbergasted at how stupid easy it is. If you’re someone who likes Kombucha, just go for it. It’s literally so easy to make.
It is hard to come up with a better metaphor for a pathological need for attention than a 20 foot tall icon, shining brighter than the sun, and strobing into elderly people’s apartments.
