Mastering in politics.
The cleavage is thin between Officer Jeremy DeWitte, and every MAGA on earth, up to, and including, Donald J. Trump. No disrespect to real strippers, but they’re all just like strippers on payday.
@ryangrim.bsky.social @radleybalko.bsky.social This is what we’ve known was coming from former MA state trooper Michael Proctor. There are well over 10k texts from the last ~15 years worth of this. Read just filed her lawsuit this morning against MA and town of Canton. This is how bad LE is.
“We may be the only phone company on the block. But we’ll try not to act like it.” Literal SWBT ad circa 1965.
You know what rabid pro capitalism people never seem to remember? Or even know? The transistor, laser, and glass cables were invented in the most regulated monopoly with mostly union employees in US history. Oh, and with no federal grant money.
@brandonfriedman.bsky.social I still stand by my original opinion. My last pro DJ gig was at Paragon, which was the old Boiler Room in Dallas Alley. Room held 2k people legally. We had about the same amount of gear as this. Inside, but for perspective. This has to be an anomaly.
You might get a kick out of this. A little banter and repartee with the guy appointed after you on that other website. He immediately deleted the tough guy talk. Then replaced it with the other. This is gross, but sadly not at all surprising. It’s who they are.
The AUSA will have lied to the grand jury. I guarantee it. Reasonable person is not the standard. This is the case in Elonis and Counterman. SCOTUS had told the DOJ this twice over last decade. Yet, they continue to ignore it. Not exactly a Trump issue either.
From over there. Zero empathy sociopaths drunk on power. Power that includes lying to send people to prison to die, then brag about it. He immediately deleted the “will die” flex, then tempered it with a second thought… for appearances.
First, I believe the DOJ cued this up and waited until something like the weekend event. Notice Blanches lingo. “Especially now…” this says the DOJ does not truly believe Comey was/is a true threat. They gamed the timing. Second, Blanche lied yesterday about intent. His own manual says otherwise.
@preetbharara.bsky.social @joycewhitevance.bsky.social If I had one genie wish, it would be to forever erase my knowledge of this code from my lay convicted brain. 1.) DOJ manual The other three are selected portions of Elonis. Notice the DOJ directly ignoring clear precedent, verbatim.
They almost certainly lied. The DOJ believes only actus reus required to convict for threat. Did they write it? Yes. Guilty. SCOTUS has a different take. First screenshot is DOJ manual. Notice “However…” Other images are from most recent threat precedent (Elonis).
Sorry about the roller coaster. Now I’m going to buy the book. Someone should write one about this nexus and possible fallout. Castle, compound, racists… what’s the difference?
@jaredlholt.bsky.social @michaelehayden.bsky.social Okay, listen (maybe pun). I’m so old (and lib), I could be in an appropriately age aligned relationship with grandma, and nobody would say a thing. 1.) I understood every word 2.) I am a bad ass 60 year EDM DJ on.soundcloud.com/jX96QtCzPnJj...
Perfect fit for straight satire reporting, if he’s still… as self righteously colorful. And hilariously dead pan only to the degree necessary to be as good as Colbert did it for so many years. I bet the majority of eyes ever to see Report to this day still don’t know. How do you replicate that?
Wow. I had no idea. And that’s my generation Being from Texas, we didn’t learn about heroic figures in our history who lived “alternative lifestyles.” We were busy criminalizing it I should’ve moved out of this state when I still had hair and never looked back. This nonsense is truly embarrassing
That’s where I grew up. John Wiley Price used to picket the intersection of Northwest and Audelia to piss of the PD a few yards away. I can only confirm you can’t see balloons coming out of the old Texas Stadium from Chiswell.
Checking in on the Tim Pool Tree House Fort Club. @willsommer.bsky.social
Israel game theorizing for us. I wonder what would happen if we just stopped answering Israel’s phone calls? I’m with the Chinese, who don’t have a translation for “atheist,” because theism isn’t a thing. Therefore, I can’t be antisemitic. But I am a poly scientist. And Israel is trending down.
@meganabbott.bsky.social Since you’re on record as having the best interview with the bros Coen ever, I oddly feel compelled to share this new possible revelation. The Brando part might have been known, but I didn’t know it until this. Please forgive me if it’s irrelevant. Cults can be this way!
“Justin Fox” (DOGE bro) used ChatGPT to determine whether ~1.5k already approved grant applicants should be cancelled, and this was his prompt. Again, this was the bureaucrat who lapped it up because he’s pro MAGA. I watched Fox’s deposition, he confirmed the use of ChatGPT.
This is going to be the bigger news. That hasn’t changed. I can’t put my hands on a demo trend dataset. But I know the area. This is a result of a change in opinions, not demographics.
See this? That’s me circa 1985. More wattage for your cottage, rip tha knob off, etc. You know what we didn’t have in the olden days? Awe-fucking-dacity. We used a literal razor and tape. Audacity alone proves the transistor is magic.
