    I believe he represents mostly Jihadist Universities. 

    Can you imagine being a professor when it comes time to pass out the grades or Fatwahs?

     

    You'd have to expect some blowback

    Well, we can unpack this ball of insanity over the weekend.  But a few initial thoughts:

    0:40 mark.  How the fuck do you sue a private university endowment?  You can certainly sue an actual institution, but does the smartest businessman ever not understand how endowments are almost categorically-are run by OCIO's/managers?  Like you can sue the University of Texas for lack of safety or promoting hazing.  Or you can sue UTIMCO if you feel they've purposely mishandled assets or engaged in fraud.  But you can't sue UTIMCO because it supports "wokeness" or some questionable courses or allowing anti-Israeli demonstrations or whatever.  How the fuck does his team not now that?  There are literally thousands of examples across the nation, both public and private.  

    1:16 mark.  What the fuck is "Nanchent History?"  

    1:43 mark.  Can someone tell me about any U.S. university or college offers degrees in "Jihadism"? 

    I mean, I know this guy's a fucking idiot, but there had to be one person on his team with a 90 IQ that proof-read this transcript and thought, "Yeah, I don't know sir if we should go with 'college courses in terrorism.'  "

     

    You do know that it doesn't matter if those points are factual and no one on his staff cares if the are or not.  It's only supposed to be inflammatory.  At some point, you have to understand that pointing out/worrying about factual errors is a waste of your time. 

    I spent some time yesterday fact checking a Closeted Trumpkin, he just got upset and angry... (he tells me he's not political, but has trump memes on his phone)  I called him out on it...  I did not change his mind at all.  It was really mad/saddening, at some point soon I'm just going stop spending any time with him.

    One funny/sad exchange... He was talking about being proud of the rebel flag, and "it is our heritage!"  He thought it was wrong that people disrespected their memory... "They fought and died for this country" 

    my response... "they were fucking traitors who fought to destroy the US."  Then he changed the subject to something equally stupid and sad.

    How about you just not ban our fans from buying tickets on the open market?

    https://kslsports.com/500666/big-12-tcu-byu-tickets-single-game-keep-it-purple/

    TCU, Baylor, and Houston pull this type of bush league bullshit regularly (Tech too to a different extent but since nobody wants to travel to Lubbock they don’t do this). This happens regularly to Texas fans that I couldn’t easily find a UT site complaining about this since it’s fairly normal for us.

    Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it ain’t real.

    Miami does that too, but the package comes with a tetanus booster and a fake gold chain

    Judge in Trump hush money case quashes last-minute defense subpoena

    The judge overseeing Donald Trump's criminal hush money case quashed a last-minute subpoena by defense lawyers Friday, writing that the former president's request was the "very definition of a fishing expedition."

    Trump's lawyers last month subpoenaed NBCUniversal for materials related to their documentary about adult film star Stormy Daniels, which was scheduled to be released one week before the case's original trial date of March 25.

    Daniels is expected to testify at trial about the hush money payment she received in 2016 for her silence about an alleged sexual encounter with Trump that the former president has long denied. Trump has pleaded not guilty to a 34-count indictment charging him with falsifying business records in connection with the payment, which Trump's then-attorney Michael Cohen made to Daniels just days before the 2016 presidential election.

    Jury selection for the trial is scheduled to get underway April 15 in New York City. The former president has denied all wrongdoing.

    Defending their subpoena to NBCUniversal, Trump's lawyers argued that the requested records would "establish collusion between NBCU and Daniels" to release the documentary "as close to the start of the trial as possible to prejudice Defendant and maximize their own financial interest."

    In his ruling Friday, Judge Juan Merchan quashed the subpoena and described Trump's arguments as "purely speculative." Evidence submitted by an NBC executive demonstrated that Daniels lacked control over the timing of and material included in the documentary, Merchan concluded.

    "Because Defendant's claims are purely speculative and unsupported, his subpoena and the demands therein are the very definition of a fishing expedition," Merchan said.

    "The Court has considered Defendant's explanation for seeking this court's permission to rifle through the privileged documents of a news organization and finds that he has not shouldered the very heavy burden necessary to overcome NY civil rights law," the judge wrote.

    You people are largely describing well written, well performed songs.  Such shame.

    oh yeah?

     

    I feel so trashy when I hear this song, but I do like it...   and it certainly hasn't aged well.  But bad songs can be tied to good memories.

    Yeah, I went to some 'transportation lab' or whatever the fuck it was called for some conference like 10 years ago.  And somebody said the place used to do batshit torture experiments there and the feds shut it down for awhile.  I can't remember the place or the backstory but it on the NW side of town and there was definitely talk of monkey torture.  I dunno if they used them crash test dummies or someshit but the couple stories I heard were way fucked up.  

    There is a big difference between animal medical testing and having an internet poll if you want to have monkey tortured with a hammer, pliers, or a blender.

    I'm not wild about the medical testing, but it is not done for sadistic joy and should have positive benefits to mankind.

  7. Ringleader of global monkey torture network, 'The Torture King', is charged

    _130144452_dsc04028-3-4.jpg.webp

    A ringleader in a global monkey torture network exposed by the BBC has been charged by US federal prosecutors.

    Michael Macartney, 50, who went by the alias "Torture King", was charged in Virginia with conspiracy to create and distribute animal-crushing videos.

    Mr Macartney was one of three key distributors identified by the BBC Eye team during a year-long investigation into sadistic monkey torture groups.

    Two women have also been charged in the UK following the investigation.

    Warning: This article contains disturbing content

    Mr Macartney, a former motorcycle gang member who previously spent time in prison, ran several chat groups for monkey torture enthusiasts from around the world on the encrypted messaging app Telegram.

    The groups were used to share ideas for custom-made torture videos, such as setting live monkeys on fire, injuring them with tools and even putting one in a blender.

    The ideas were then sent, along with payments, to video-makers in Indonesia who carried them out, sometimes killing the baby long-tailed macaque monkeys in the process.


    Global network of sadistic monkey torture exposed
    According to charging documents, Mr Macartney, who lives in the US state of Virginia, is accused by prosecutors of collecting funds from his chat groups and distributing videos depicting the "torture, murder, and sexually sadistic mutilation of animals, specifically juvenile and adult monkeys".

    Mr Macartney has cooperated with investigators from the Department of Homeland Security and agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy charges. He will formally make a plea later this month and is facing up to five years in prison.

    Speaking to the BBC Eye investigations team last year, Mr Macartney confessed to his role in the torture network, describing himself as the "king of this demented world".

    "I was the man," he said. "You want to see monkeys get messed up? I could bring it to you."

    Mr Macartney also described the moment he joined his first Telegram monkey group.

    "They had a poll set up," he said. "Do you want a hammer involved? Do you want pliers involved? Do you want a screwdriver?"

    The resulting videos were "the most grotesque thing I have ever seen", Mr Macartney said, and yet he went on to become a key player in the monkey torture groups.

    The BBC understands that more charges are expected to follow soon for other key players in the monkey torture network. At least 20 people were placed under investigation last year globally, following the BBC's investigation.

    Three participants have already been charged in the US, including Mr Macartney. Two torturers were arrested and jailed in Indonesia, and three women have been arrested in the UK, two of whom have been charged.

    Holly LeGresley, 37, of Kidderminster and Adriana Orme, 55, of Upton-upon Severn were charged last month with publishing an obscene article and causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal.

    Ms LeGresley and Ms Orme were high-profile members of the online torture groups. Ms LeGresley, who went by the screen name "The Immolator", was a moderator in a group run by Mr Macartney and was involved in commissioning some of the most extreme videos.

    In the US, two others have been charged with the same counts as Mr Macartney.

    David Christopher Noble, 48, a former US Air Force officer who was previously court-martialed and dismissed from the military, and Nicole Devilbiss, 35. They are both facing up to five years in prison.

    The other way to look at it, is if a vast majority of that Latino support is from Texas and Florida (cubans and the RGV here in Texas), then it don't make much of a shit. 

    Nevada? Arizona?

    Yep but you know what happens the second he criticizes Israel. He's in a no-win situation. But yes, he needs to speak out about this and use it to force Israel into a ceasefire. 

    That will all be done behind the scenes Biden isn't a guy who puts his shit on blast.  Refreshing isn't it?  I think he has shown quietly getting things done in a hyper partisan environment is the way to go.

    Just for grins, I looked up violent crime statistics for New York state.  They peaked in 1990, with 1,181 instances of violent crime per 100,000 people.  That number is currently 429 instances per 100,000 people, a reduction of nearly 64%.

    But, people believe Trump anyway, and the media mostly just sits on its hands.

    Nope there has been coverage of the crime statistics.   The stories are out there, but people have their own facts now.

    I bet I've seen this clip 100 times since I first saw it Friday. Definitely making the rounds on car tok and Insta reels. If that happened on dry land dude probably gets rolled over by his own truck. Dubai, I think? 

    yup, had the same thought.  He got lucky the water stopped the truck because other wise it would have rolled up like a toothpaste tube.
