  1. Lulz: You trusted the President?? This President?? That's a paddlin'.
  2. Lawyas sanctioned in Colorado. Sanctions under Rule 11, inherent authority and 18 usc 1927 While Plaintiffs’ counsel insist that the lawsuit was not intended to challenge the election or reverse the results, the effect of the allegations and relief sought would be to sow doubt over the legitimacy of the Biden presidency and the mechanisms of American democracy (the actual systems of voting) in numerous states. In short, this was no slip-and-fall at the local grocery store. Albeit disorganized and fantastical, the Complaint’s allegations are extraordinarily serious and, if accepted as true by large numbers of people, are the stuff of which violent insurrections are made. The Complaint did seek, among other things, an injunction barring “any further unconstitutional behavior,” id. at 81, and “permanent injunctive relief to remedy the ongoing effects of Defendants’ unconstitutional conduct.” Id. at 83. But the requested injunctions aside, the main focus of the suit, at least as emphasized by Plaintiffs’ counsel in argument, was a demand for a massive amount of money, likely greater than any money damage award in American history. Seeking a “nominal amount of $1,000 per registered voter,” Plaintiffs asked for a total $160 billion for the putative 160-millionperson Plaintiff class. Dkt. #1 at 82. This figure is greater than the annual GDP of Hungary (lulz) The personal affidavits Plaintiffs attached to the original Complaint recount the generalized fear and suspicion that the “system” is rigged, and a sense that American democracy no longer works. The affidavits are notable only in demonstrating no firsthand knowledge by any Plaintiff of any election fraud, misconduct, or malfeasance. Instead, Plaintiffs’ affidavits are replete with conclusory statements about what must have happened during the election and Plaintiffs’ “beliefs” that the election was corrupted, presumably based on rumors, innuendo, and unverified and questionable media reports. For example, the affidavit of Amie Trapp, a resident of Alabama, recites, It is obvious our federal election has been tampered with and compromised by Dominion Voting Systems Inc, along with the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, his wife Priscilla Chan, and many others acting as governors/secretaries of state across the country. Every day, we, as a country, find out more information about this corrupt system, Dominion, and the government officials who allow it. Dkt. #1-9 at 3, ¶¶ 7–8. Not stated is any nonconclusory basis for Ms. Trapp to believe this. The affidavit of Plaintiff Larry D. Cook of California presents similarly unconvincing allegations of election fraud, based solely on his belief (although Mr. Cook seems more distressed about mandatory vaccinations and the removal by Facebook of his posts related to vaccines and QAnon): I believe that there was widespread vote fraud and manipulation during the 2020 Presidential Election and as such, this topic, along with the vaccination topic, along with the Qanon topic, as well as other ‘controversial topics,’ should not be censored, ‘fact checked,’ deleted and/or result in a ban or permanent account deletion just because the topic at hand challenges the official narrative as presented in mainstream media, the Democrat Party, the liability-free vaccine industry and other domestic and foreign controlling interests. Dkt. #1-6 at 7, ¶ 29. Mr. Cook provides no personal knowledge about any election fraud or impropriety. Trump's own inanities weigh in favor of sanctions. Pretty excoriating of the BS world we live in. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/colorado-sanctions-trump-lawsuit/2021/08/04/704dec92-f53a-11eb-a49b-d96f2dac0942_story.html Magistrate judge tho.
  3. Gosh, I wonder if we can spot a comorbitity.
  4. Mr Nagy leaves behind his inconsolable wife Stacey, his three children Heath, Heather, and Heathest.
  5. I know of another school that is mandating all everybody wear masks, students and teachers alike. It's a wink wink nudge nudge this isn't mandated mandate, but it's a mandate.
  6. AISD is allowing remote learning under the law that allows for homebound students (like, people with brain injuries or other super serious stuff) for people that don't want to send their kids to school. Usually that is like a half dozen kids in the city. Now it is going to be thousands. They will inevitably get legal push back.
  7. AMD only think keeping me above water
  8. i remember being baffled by that as a kid. Why is that a joke? They *are* as good as cash, aren't they?
  9. it's going to be somewhere between going steeply up and steeply down? yeah, i'd say that's a pretty reliable model.
  10. Billy Wide amirite.
  11. Yeah, those suggestions seem really dumb.
  12. yeah, that's a problem with a show like this. most characters are in a good place and that doesn't support narratives.
  13. one bad bunch spoils the apple.
  14. ANOTHER ONE! I had to double check I wasn’t somehow seeing the story twice. this is messed up.
  15. JK JK Fuck Texas A&M
  16. says he was vaccinated though. that might end up having the opposite effect
  17. if i ever end up in the icu, can you call the doctors and say you have a personal stake in me surviving or something.
  18. pretty scary chart when you look at vaccines by age. Looks like about 1.5% of the 30-50 group gets ISR. This site says about half the population of that age are vaccinated. https://usafacts.org/visualizations/covid-vaccine-tracker-states/state/texas And if delta rips through and affects a whole lot of people simultaneously, that is about 1.5% of 7,000,000 ISR, or about 100,000 out of that age group. Of course, there are still olds that can get sick too. Total hospital beds, statewide: 80,000. https://www.dshs.texas.gov/chs/hosp/AcuteFact16.pdf We have to really 'slow the spread' so these people don't all get sick at once.
  19. probably this lady
  20. Evidently a third officer there committed suicide. This is deeply weird, imo. https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/02/politics/dc-metropolitan-police-officer-suicide-january-6-capitol-riot/index.html
