Long and excellent thread on how the christian revival movement radicalized into helping Russia to interfere in our elections.

Disney's lawsuit against DeSantis, et al, for using government to retaliate against them is alleging a conspiracy against rights under the color of law.

Dont be distracted by cartoon mice, nazis, and the rest. The fight with Disney has ALWAYS been about casinos.

"Sommerville Dan" aka @YouAintAWoman, says, "now you get to learn the hard way, b****!" to @HackingButLegal, who worked for Joe Biden's campaign in 2020.

RIP News Corp and Club for Growth. Mike Flynn's goblin-shaped helper, Ivan Raiklin, has blocked you on social media bc you fired Tucker! ...🤣

Guy who leaked us intel in a video game chat room was not a sophisticated criminal. But he was radicalized. Interesting he had been searching classified databases for info on the vegas shooter...who was a former senior accountant for Marietta Martin.

The war on the poor in this country is very real. And its the source of all of our national problems.

I want to know how this know-nothing, cat-kidnapping, ass clown has millions of followers.

Seriously, he kidnapped a cat and held it hostage.

When anyone says they have an ideological solution for everything, its bad. When that person is Governor of a state with 20 million people, starts creating their own private military/police force, and wants to be president...you shut that shit down.

Imagine being a 20-something targeted by military intelligence types. I highly doubt it was "suddenly discovered" that the guy was leaking intel, bc its a pretty long journey to go from boot camp to where he ended up.

Ayn Rand's theory of economics at work here...

The GOP has a new rationale for all the lies they keep telling...its comical, but its also insidious.

Elons followers dont know what this mumbo-jumbo means, but I do. And it's an undisprovable non-negative. A statistiacal wraith, if you will. Chum for the marks. The irony of wealth concentration is its tendency towards instability.

I they think they would remember who tortured them. I remembered a cop that cussed at me one time in a walmart when he got elected as a mayor 20 years later...so, torture?

Were the people he's calling terrorists ever even charged with crimes?

A lot of people didn't like his show, bc it showed America its ugly side. Springer was also a one-time mayor of Cincinatti, and an adviser to Bobby Kennedy's campaign before he was assassinated.

...and because I googled Cincinatti when I saw that Jerry Springer died, I found this interesting bit of political history.

Bibi is fighting back. These are not the pro-democracy protesters that flooded the streets a couple weeks ago.

If the sanctions don't outweigh the illicit benefits, then what's the deterrent?

Public Records requests should never cost money. Its the government's responsibility to keep good records and have them easily available to the public.

“No substantive voter fraud was uncovered in my investigations looking for it, nor was I able to confirm any of the outside claims of voter fraud that I was asked to look at,” he said “Every fraud claim I was asked to investigate was false.”

Republicans are playing chicken with an old-school Irish catholic, and this isn't gonna go the way they think it is. Joe Biden is gonna beat that ass.

Corporate funded religious bigotry.
