Oh dear: Rudy's costar at that voter fraud clown show "hearing" in Michigan just got off probation for harassment campaign/restraining order violation that involved her sending multiple sex tapes to her boyfriends ex-wife. deadlinedetroit.com/articles/26813…
it was really either this or she was part of the new borat film
2/ The true chef's kiss - given the role of hacking/computer crimes in the fraud claims - is that part of what she was charged for was trying to cover her digital tracks and claim the vids weren't from her. She was working on a computer security degree from ITT tech at the time.
3/ And just to be clear, there's absolute nothing wrong with consenting adults making sex tapes of themselves. But you really shouldn't send them to people who don't want to see them.

Curious how many people caught this reference about people in Georgia who claim "we were here also" and will "take over your farm" under the Democrats.
2/ Confiscations of white farms in southern Africa is a huge topic on the white supremacist right in the US. He's dog whistling that, saying that slave reparations will mean black folks will be given your farm.
They now have an app to tell you where you are in line for a vaccine. I was quite surprised to see that I'm very close to the last in line. To be clear, not complaining. That's fine. But I was surprised. I'm healthy. But I'm 51 and a guy. Last seems odd.
2/ But when I looked it turns out that kids and young adults are ahead of me in line. So what I think I wasn't figuring in is that it's not just about your relative risk but how strong a spread vector you are. That must be what pushes young adults further up in line.
3/ And again, not remotely complaining. I work from home. I'm in no rush. Just interesting.
Holy Shit. Florida GOPer caught on tape telling fellow FL GOPers to make false voter registrations in Georgia so they could vote to save Loeffler and Perdue. He in fact DID register in Georgia and is now under investigation. wsbtv.com/news/politics/…
2/ A pretty kickass reporter, Nicole Carr, recorded the video before the guy took it down. When she confronted him he insisted it was all a joke and of course he didn’t register in Georgia. But she checked and he had.
So I read the judges decision doc here. It’s almost all redacted. But some basic outlines are clear - bribery for pardon scheme. Seems to involve both wouldbe pardonees lawyer and some sort of non lawyer fixer who was managing the bribery ask and seemingly some ...
2/ related political campaign for a pardon. As I said, virtually everything is redacted. But the emails in question, which reveal the scheme were apparently uncovered in a raid sometime before the end of the summer. And the DOJ investigators were trying to get the judges ...
3/ permission to use the emails in their investigation, both arguing a crime fraud exception to the privilege and also that the emails included a person (seemingly the aforementioned fixer) who wasn’t an attorney or an agent of the attorney, thus voiding the privilege.
With the "what happened to Rand Paul" discourse, it is worth going back to 2008 and 2012 when his father Ron Paul ran for President. Somehow he was treated as at once avuncular and someone with a fresh, even radical take on what ails us as a country. In fact of course ...
2/ Paul was a longtime far right conspiracy theorist who had for decades published a newsletter replete with KKK/white nationalist content. His response when this was raised was to say he hadn't actually written any of the offending columns and actually had never read ...
3/ the newsletter or at least the numerous hardcore racist diatribes and essays. Somehow this explanation was more less accepted even though it was of course absurd. Then on the back of that fame Paul's son Rand was elected to the Senate and has continued to manage the ...
To summarize on this question, Gorsuch claims discriminatory behavior, privileging importance of secular over religious activities. But he supports that assertion factually with claims that are 100% at odds with risk profiles of different activities.
2/ If you follow the structure of his argument he needs to succeed at those factual claims before getting to his 1st amendment arguments. And he simply doesn’t.
3/ One can imagine a different set of facts and argument. Let’s say grocery shopping and church attendance had similar risk profiles (mainly not true). Most people wld say that getting food is more essential than church ritual during a pandemic. That is certainly a ...
