  1. Well, that is a reasonable explanation. Still, might should have made it clear that you thought Candace was the funny part, not Macron. Also comical that what she accuses the Macrons of, Trump does half a dozen times a year.
  2. Well, because Israel and the US of A are suffering the same problem: alienating their friends. But as GoLL wisely observes, Israel probably needs friends more than we do. It will be interesting to see if either nation recovers from this death spiral and, if so, whether they can make up with their former friends on any basis. I think the US has a stronger case for the necessity of its friendship than Israel.
  3. Do you think any of this would be revealed by the Epstein files?
  4. Well, for starts, somehow or other Candace Owen's YouTube channel is on your radar. You should be extremely ashamed that you either sought it out or your algorithm serves that kind of dogshit to you. As an adult male, if you're watching YouTube for other than how-to videos or hobby-related things, you're probably a gullible moron. Or you're not gullible, you just like consuming bullshit. Then there's the fact that a right-wing media person, who seems to strive to be taken seriously, makes and repeatedly doubles down on stupid shit like "the wife of the French President is a man." Once or twice in a drive-by comedy sketch, maybe, but this. No, man, just no. And then to make light of being sued for it, not in an impulsive, reactive way like Trump sues people, but after trying to reach some sort of accommodation with the statute of limitations running out. Cuntface Owens has been doing this for the better part of a year. It's not new news, but the fact that the President of France is willing to go to court to prove its falsity is actual news.
  5. Yeah, I think that about covers it. Not some grand conspiracy. I'm all for turning the right's tactics on them in the public sphere, which includes feeding them conspiracy theories that hurt Trump and lying "our" collective asses off. But when it comes to conversation and discussion amongst the rationals, I think we should avoid disinformation and conspiracy theories as much as possible, if not completely.
  6. What do you think is going to happen If this material is released? What difference is it going to make to anything?
  7. thetexashammer being gullible and exposing his media choices, related things. Same ol shit.
  8. I assume "dope" means devils lettuce? As a youthful first offender, I think chances are excellent he gets deferred adjudication that may be expunged if he successfully completes it. I don't think it's going to take Dick DeGuerin or Rusty Hardin to obtain such a resolution. Clint Broden is a guy I know, but he's become something of a superstar and this might be below his radar and he's probably pretty expensive. Buck Johnson I think is a pretty good more workaday lawyer.
  9. As soon as they had good evidence of criminal intent and violation of the grand jury subpoena, they indicted.
  10. This really may be the solution. I detest video news online (on TV too for the most part).
  11. As bad as "mainstream media" is, the much bigger problem is people like you explicitly trusting shitbags like Candace Owen on self-produced, self-moderated "media" like the above.
  12. No kidding. That seems like a complete slam dunk. And the articles all say they tried to reach an out of court solution. The fact that OP would cite a Candace Owens video about this, rather than credible sources, says a lot.
  13. I haven't read the WSJ article, but if they just said it purported to be from Trump and described it, I don't think there's any falsity or defamation there, let alone of a public figure. Having Trump say it's fake does not establish falsity or reckless disregard.
  14. Fair points all. Whatever one thinks about Garland/Biden, they ultimately indicted and prosecuted a highly political case in the January 6 mess. They also immediately indicted and prosecuted a somewhat less political case in the Maralago documents case. Child sexual abuse is not political (well at least not until Qanon got hold of it). It also tends to be prosecuted by true believer jihadists. If there had been a convictable case against Donald Trump, and I virtually guarantee some of those jihadists were looking for one, it would have been brought during the Biden Administration. ETA: maybe the better way to look at it is the Biden Administration was not going to bring a child sexual abuse case on weak evidence just to fuck with Trump. Can't say the same about Trump Administration. If they thought they could bring a chickenshit case against Bill Clinton, they'd do it in a heartbeat.
  15. Because you don't want an asshole like Trump in charge of monetary policy. End of discussion.
  16. Biden didn't do it because in the United States of America as it was once known, the government did not release criminal investigation materials except by indicting and trying targets of the investigation. Full stop. That's why the judges aren't going to release any grand jury materials. This is the way we've always done it. For better or worse, Joseph Robinette Biden followed the rules and norms of the United States of America. Releasing criminal investigation materials outside the context of a criminal trial was a non-starter for Biden and 44 of his predecessors. Dotard Jackleg Trump has no respect for the United States of America, its institutions, rules, and norms. He was always going to do this to curry favor with the QAnon MAGAts, that is, for political advantage, for himself, as usual. Until he figured out the shit was going to splash on him at least as much as anyone else.
  17. This is really nothing new. There have always been technocrats that think they ought to run the world and their technologies offer the solutions to mans ills. And they are usually completely full of arrogance and shit. I say always, I guess it's really been since the industrial revolution.
  18. Providing TV, either in-cell or in a community setting, is dang near a constitutional requirement. A lot of prisons are going to personal tablets for TV, games, education, even phone/video calls, because it a) keeps them occupied and b) community TVs are a source of fights. They aren't just hooked up to the open internet, though, they're controlled and its another profit center for the entities that sell them.
  19. I think a lot of people will be implicated far short of riding the Lolita Express or going to pedo island. But, depending on their political affiliation, will still be smeared with shit from one side or the other. Some of the people will well and truly deserve being smeared with shit, like Trump. Others a lot less so. And, it will all be inconclusive, just a complete barforama.
  20. We are currently clean on OPSEC
  21. Well, who's gonna prosecute once this information is let out? Who's gonna evaluate it? This whole shitshow is exactly the reason you don't release this kind of material to the general public. The only thing that makes it palatable for the rationals is that Trump might be implicated. But probably so will a bunch of otherwise decentish people.
