  1. Aileen Cannon should be impeached and removed from the bench.
  2. What I find funny about the kneejerk "they do it too!!" you always hear from the right is that the people on the left who do flood social media with bullshit are usually doing it to small audiences, not profiting off of it, and it's almost always anti-Biden/anti-liberal content. They're just young, stupid true believers who nobody listens to, not hugely popular posters who make a good living off propaganda and frequently encourage (implicitly of course) their fans to make terroristic threats against targets of their ire, which threats are then carried out.
  3. It wasn't "her work." It was an appointed position on the highest court in our country, an enormously important seat of public trust, and she decided to risk that after having already been treated for cancer multiple times. It's a decision that should be criticized even stronger than it has been.
  4. Johnny Sack is the racist Trump voter who likes to say the N-word and "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" a lot while pretending he's the only non-racist on the board. He got drunk and a little too openly racist and horrible a little too often and created the new username Frank Drebin in what appeared to be an attempt to be better. But he's posted "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" like four times in the protest threads in DT so that attempt doesn't seem to be going too well.
  5. Well to be fair to Charlottesville PD, the nazis didn't have tents.
  6. I member when the right kicked off their "Unite the Right" rally with a late-night torchlit march in which every single person shouted "Jews will not replace us." And then the Republican president called them very fine people.
  7. He says while posting from behind his second pseudonymous internet handle, because he got a little too spicy too often under his first one.
  8. The easiest way to know that shit posted by Libsoftiktok, Andy Ngo, etc. is misrepresented is because that's literally all they do online. Sometimes it's very obvious, sometimes you have to go to a bit of effort to figure out what the lie is. But there's always a lie. That's fundamentally who they are.
  9. Far and away the best thing MeidasTouch has ever done.
  10. Also, a strategic retirement from Kennedy. Which Democrats for some fucking reason absolutely refuse to consider for themselves.
  11. Some lawyers, particularly those with a longer history of practicing while believing in the system, have a hard time accepting this. It doesn't help that for most of us, our day-to-day work is still very much engaging with a real practice in a real system with real rules and consequences for us and our clients. But yeah, if you're rich enough and/or socially or politically powerful enough, the law is mostly a farce. Some lawyers will try to argue it isn't because look, he's in trial right now, facing consequences. But I think the honest, true response to that is that this isn't the legal system working as intended at all; this trial is only happening because it finally became politically advantageous for a New York prosecutor to charge Trump with some of the fucking tens of thousands of felonies he has committed in New York. It's the same story in Georgia. And as for the federal charges, we can all see what Cannon and the Supreme Court are doing to those prosecutions.
  12. If "going to your car to get a gun after a shoving match" = reasonable fear that justifies shooting someone in self defense, then there really isn't much point in still having laws against killing people.
  13. Cannon is guaranteeing this trial won’t happen before the election.
  14. The two statements I've bolded seem directly at odds with each other.
  15. And there it is. Netanyahu is once again trading the lives of Israeli hostages for his own freedom.
  16. Rex is really on an impressive run of talking out of his ass in the last few days. Rex, you know, you could try just googling this shit. There's been a ton of reporting and commentary on this literally for decades. Here's just one recent article:
  17. It's literally impossible to imagine not one but two bullpens that are apparently between 2 to 3 times as bad as ours. How the fuck are the Blue Jays and Rays that bad?
  18. Netanyahu is probably about to tweet out "SIKE!" and flatten Rafah.
  19. Who gives a fuck what his base will think? They're his base. Him being jailed for repeated flagrant contempt may help him con some more legal fees out of his most hardcore supporters, but it won't help him with undecided voters and it would send a signal to everyone that he's not actually above the law.
  20. Because Rex clearly missed our last conversation on this, I'll quote myself:
  21. Yes we’re all aware of his bullshit excuses. We’ve discussed this all before.
