  1. The low turnout is the most interesting thing from last night. It could mostly be because of the weather, but if it becomes a pattern in the primaries that's going to be setting off some huge alarms for them.
  2. He had previously made a post with an "I'm about to unleash hell" gladiator reference, so her tweet was a response to that.
  3. Every bad story anyone has about Ackman is coming out now and it's fucking hilarious. We're gonna have to rename the Streisand effect after him.
  4. Comer being a pedophile is basically confirmed then. Even for a member of the "everything we say is projection" caucus, Comer really takes it to the next level.
  5. This is the treatment Greenblatt gets even though he's purposefully ignoring anti-Semitism that isn't in support of Palestine.
  6. I think Twice is a very sophisticated AI that was programmed to be a very good and thoughtful poster on all issues except Aileen Cannon.
  7. This trial won’t start until 2025.
  8. I don't know if the state guard can even be federalized, but if not, Biden should federalize the Texas National Guard and have them arrest Abbott for insurrection.
  9. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was BP who killed that antifa guy who'd killed some proud boy in self defense in Portland. They tried to claim he'd shot at them or some shit but they just assassinated him.
  10. It's amazing how anything international just fucking splinters people's brains so badly. The Houthis are religious fanatic shitheads who are doing the one fucking thing the entire goddamn United States Navy exists to prevent and these attacks are the most clearly legal deployment of US force since the initial invasion of Afghanistan, but countless people on the left (including some in fucking Congress) think it's illegal. Fucking American exceptionalism is the real mind virus. The leftists who fall for it just invert it's standard mode, so they think America is the only bad actor in the world.
  11. It's also a big goddamned problem that the Border Patrol is actually supporting Abbott in this, and it tells you why the overwhelming majority of border patrol agents signed up in the first place (so they could abuse immigrants). They don't give a shit about what's supposed to be their actual job and don't care if some shitkicker losers point guns at them to prevent them from doing it, so long as those losers beat the shit out of some immigrants.
  12. Look who won there in 2016. It's literally right there above your post. Hell, look who won there in 2012 and 2008. Iowa is completely irrelevant.
  13. Democrats need to start thinking of some actual fucking responses to GOP escalations. It turns out doing nothing doesn't pacify these freaks. This is literally insurrection and needs to be treated as such.
  14. Oh great, another fucking Republican insurrection.
  15. "BUT BUT BUT I HATE ARABS AND MEXICANS LIKE YOU GUYS DO! HELL GIVE ME A GUN AND I'LL SHOOT THEM FOR YOU! I WANT TO LICK YOUR BOOTS SO CLEAN TOO! WHY ARE YOU DOING TH..."
  16. He is just insanely evil.
  17. There's plenty of stupid people in the world who support political parties who want them dead. See Bari Weiss.
  18. Yeah, it's clear why Engoron has been giving Trump a long leash throughout the trial. What's less clear is why he initially denied the request to speak. I don't think it matters legally, but backtracking after the bomb threat will absolutely encourage Trump's supporters to keep that shit up. As a bit of an aside, man it fucking sucks how much further reasonable district judges have to go to these days to try to protect justice from Trump's cronies at the appellate level. We can probably think of at least a dozen cases off the top of our heads where a judge has prepared a watertight, 100-120+ page opinion painstakingly explaining why the law requires a particular outcome, only to have a circuit panel or conservative SCOTUS majority write some lunatic screed that's the intellectual equivalent of smearing shit over all of the walls while ranting about the Jews. That's not going to happen here (at least not before it gets to SCOTUS) because we're dealing with New York courts, but I think this illustrates just how corrosive an impact Trump and the modern GOP has had on the judicial system generally.
  19. Mid-level TVs are a lot cheaper than you think these days.
  20. If he hadn't originally denied Trump's request to speak it wouldn't really be a big deal. It'd be annoying that Trump continued to get away with little shit that other people would get thrown in jail for, but it wouldn't have been news or had any impact for more than a day. But denying Trump's request, then receiving a bomb threat and backtracking and letting him speak, sends a horrible signal to Trump's supporters.
  21. Terrible capitulation by Engoron. He effectively just told Trump and his supporters that bomb threats work.
