  1. Galaxy brain to suggest giving classified documents to someone under investigation for espionage and improper handling of classified documents. Truly breathtaking. You are lending credibility to trump to suggest that there is some good faith reason for him to ask for this, and laundering it against a broad slippery slope argument for a defendant that is one of one.
  2. I'm my mind, loans are pretty different from customer funds in customer held accounts. Since most loans that I know of require both parties to consent and necessarily be aware of what's happening
  3. Guilty on all counts of fraud. It doesn't matter if his wildly reckless bets paid off - it wasn't his money to make those bets in the first place
  4. The bigger issue is that US telcoms have already gotten over $400,000,000,000 (yes really) to build out rural fiber internet, and yet..... Bupkis. Because there was nobody to hold their feet to the fire and not just pocket the extra money for some sweet sweet free profit
  5. What the actual fuck that's more than my fucking undergrad education cost PLUS COST OF LIVING IN AUSTIN IN THE EARLY TEENS
  6. Like classification of nuclear secrets? You REALLY think trump is entitled to challenge their classification?
  7. GRUhorn is learning not to post in the crypto thread AND the Ukraine war thread on the same sock accounts, I guess
  8. he's gonna fuck the shit outta tomball's commute lol. Glad he's not doing it closer to the weekend and fucking up the ren fest traffic
  9. it's remarkable how similar judge cannon in function is to some of the shithousery that russia uses to hide its malfeasance, like with the ship anchor that accidentally snagged a fiber and gas pipeline. They're so shitty at their job, just plain ol' fuckin negligence is a reasonable defense for them. God bless America, we are fucked if we have to keep acting like the judiciary hasn't been meaningfully coopted by trumpists. Nothing the lower courts even do really matters for as long as we have the bought and paid for supreme court either.
  10. Mainly so that they wouldn't spend all of their time in session going down a list and casting the same vote 300+ times. It enables scalability of the Senate, and tubz is basically DDOSing our legislature with this tactic. It would be one thing if he had actual, specific issues with the people in question, but he doesn't. This is just another lever he can pull to slow things down, and in the proud tradition of fascists, is weaponizing a civil mechanism to inflict pain on his perceived political enemies.
  11. But I was told that Cannon is a very good judge who would never put her thumb on the scale for trump! Are you telling me that my lying eyes WEREN'T lying to me and cannon was doing exactly what it fucking looked like?? Unpossible!
  12. You could also describe trump in the same vein. Just because someone lacks scruples or any sort of central moral guiding principle doesn't mean they can't do generational damage to our society. I just don't get the reflexive defense of republican fuckery as "it's not that bad bro" from all the "reformed" MAGA voters
  13. How bout you don't ignore something just because it won't affect you in the next quarter? It's possible for one action to pay off multiple schemes - including the far rights stated goal of replacing every federal employee with fascist sympathizers and hardliners. We've literally played this game before of "well SURELY they won't do something so crazy" - it's how we got trump. Learn from the past.
  14. Nothing like seeing a christofascist impact my nations defense readiness in service of their project 2025 shit. You do realize that as these good officers are seeing their careers delayed, it's holding the door open for the far right extremists officers to attain promotion? This fuckery is part of that.
  15. I'm dying to get a copy of that webcast - it's not even on Nugs!
  16. I still need to read this doc - I'm an ML practitioner and specialist in my day job, and 100% of my customers are using it in their solutions. I took a quick glance and was gruntled to see an emphasis on personal privacy and data rights, but don't know if there was anything of substance
  17. That can't be right - WHO guidelines put 50L/day/person as the bare minimum. That's 13gal a day
  18. his social media posts were exactly what you would expect, unfortunately.
  19. re: the Maine shooter - turns out the entire community knew he was a ticking time bomb, and he ended up flipping his shit over delusions of what those businesses were saying about him online https://apnews.com/article/maine-mass-shooting-4547c3cade59d48f20826a6412db140c really is sad - something in his brain just snapped and he got fixated on pedophiles. Everyone and every business he targeted he had delusions of grievances against them.
  20. https://newrepublic.com/post/176540/tommy-tuberville-military-hold-marine-commander-heart-attack The commandant of the USMC just had a heart attack and is hospitalized and this fuck nugget is actively blocking promotions and causing real problems in the military. This is not the time to be playing games with our armed forces, unless you're on putins payroll
  21. Also I'm not at the show, but Billy Strings put on one hell of a WWE themed Halloween show! They did basically an entire WWE show intro complete with behind the ring fake beef and everything lol. It's something else to see Macho man on banjo and the Hulkster playing bluegrass guitar lmao Edit: wow at 42 minutes Moly Tuttle comes out and they play Tubthumping, they're just having a ton of fun
