    Did they give him some time served? He was sentenced in 2012. 

    Arrested in 2008. Never heard of any American court not counting the days you spend in custody prior to sentencing (absent a plea agreement to waive back time.)

    Then again, I've never represented Russian arms dealers in Fed court.

    While they probably won't serve very long in jail, this kinda behavior has an incredibly corrosive stigma attached to it in Germany.  Their memory is not short like ours.  They know what this leads to in the end.  These men will be outcasted from every segment of society from jobs to spouses to churches to bars.  Their names will be trashed for multiple generations.  They will be so outcasted that most of them will be driven to more serious violent crimes that will get them longer sentences, or better yet-driven to substance abuse and suicide.  A year in the penal system is the least of their concerns right now.  The likeliest outcome is that some of them give up their co-conspirators and financiers/handlers, and wind up dead before trial.  Germany has a way of taking out its own trash the last 75 years.  In America, these people would run for Congress and probably win.  

    I dunno, that's their thing for some reason.  They, or some offshoot of their Q-esque movement, has claimed for decades that the government-in-exile operates from Nevada.  I don't know where in Nevada, and I ain't going down that internet rabbit hole of stupidity. 

    Some say this all started in Germany with the Volksfrei movement, some say they have ties to the Asian Dawn.  I dunno, my subscription to Time Magazine ran out.  

    8 months is what Hitler served for his role in the Beer hall Putsch

  3. Somewhat curious that the rest of the sports world has moved towards analytical evaluations of players yet somehow the Heisman has gone the total opposite direction into just picking QBs from top 10 teams

    This Jon Cooper dude is the dumbest motherfucker on twitter.  It's not a loan *TO* a foreign creditor, it's *FROM* a foreign creditor.  Also, Daewoo has "ties to North Korea" about the same way that Nike does.

    Thank you. There are a handful of these accounts (like Cooper) that are just clickbait bullshit.

    Quick tip: If you are following a non-journalist on twitter and they like to begin tweets with:

    THIS IS HUGE!:

    BREAKING!!:

    HOLY HELL!!

    THIS JUST IN!!

    Then you should understand that what you're reading is likely bullshit

    While I agree that Thomas should recuse himself from insurrection cases, he not doing so doesn’t support your specific claim that either he, or SCOTUS in general, “aided an insurrection.”

    Guess it depends on whether or not you believe you can provide aid to something after the fact. The crime of "accessory after the fact" would support such a proposition, and Thomas being the lone dissent on the case wherein the J6 committee sought presidential records as part of their insurrection investigation would support the argument that he is aiding the insurrectionists.
