Really enjoying videos of people being pulled off of airplanes home from their "rally" at the Capitol. It's possible some of the videos may actually be people being pulled off for masking violations. I'm ok if those people get a little manhandled as well.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo cancelled his Europe trip at the last minute on Tuesday after Luxembourg's foreign minister and top European Union officials declined to meet him,
what Luxembourg Foreign Minister Asselborn said:
- "Mister Trump is a criminal, a political pyromaniac who should be sent to criminal court. He's a person who was elected democratically but who isn't interested in democracy in the slightest."
That's an awesome description: a political pyromaniac
is getting dissed by Luxembourg's foreign minister the new status symbol?

I hope they pass the bill that nothing can ever be named after trump...other than a landfill, sewer treatment plant or a Prison

Such a bill would mean nothing if Trump took over as a dictator or if in the future Trump or enough Trumpists won at the ballot box
It’s not important
What’s important is ensuring Joe Biden gets control of the nukes on January 20th

Oklahoma trying to return its $2m stockpile of hydroxychloroquine

"In April, Gov. Kevin Stitt, who ordered the hydroxychloroquine purchase, defended it by saying that while it may not be a useful treatment for the coronavirus, the drug had multiple other uses and “that money will not have gone to waste in any respect.”
But nearly a year later the state is trying to offload the drug back to its original supplier, California-based FFF Enterprises, Inc, a private pharmaceutical wholesaler. "

except that the MAGAheads aren't supporting them. they want to back future winners, not pay for embarrassing past failures. Giuliani has had a legal fund for months now but so far he's collected enough in donations to get himself a cup of coffee. trump sure as hell isn't going to spend any of HIS money on these losers ("they had a chance to do their job and prove that the election was stolen, they failed, so they get nothing. i don't care if they're now saddled with costs because they did what i told them to - that's their problem!"). powell, giuliani, lindell et al.* are headed for a very bleak and humbling financial future...

*yes, i know, i did not use "et al." properly. like trump, i don't care.
This will have major "who the fuck cares" energy, but nowadays I just write "et alia", the gender neutral form of "et alii" (men or mixed gender) and "et aliae" (women). "Et al." often puts a period in the middle of a sentence, which is annoying (so does "etc." but that's a million times more common so we're used to it). "Et alia" is one more character and dispenses with the outdated need to use a gender-specific form.

Fox to Rudy: You’re banned (https://www.politico.com/newsletters/playbook/2021/09/24/scoop-fox-to-rudy-youre-banned-494458?1)
RUDY GETS THE GONG — RUDY GIULIANI has been banned from Fox News for almost three months. As if the sting of that weren’t painful enough, the “9/11 mayor” learned of his banishment … on the eve of Sept. 11.
Giuliani was slated to appear on “Fox & Friends” to mark the 20th anniversary of the attack. But the night before, host PETE HEGSETH called Giuliani to say he’d been cut from the show and apologize.
The ban extends not just to GIULIANI, but also to his son ANDREW, who has not been on Fox News since he launched his campaign for governor of New York in May despite many requests to go on the network. His team has been frustrated that rival GOP gubernatorial candidate Rep. LEE ZELDIN is a frequent guest.
But bookers have told both Giulianis the ban comes from the top, sources said.

SCOOP: A Texas judge has ruled default judgements against Alex Jones and Infowars in two separate Sandy Hook cases. He will now be liable for all damages and a jury will now be convened to determine how much he will owe the plaintiffs.
https://twitter.com/sebastianmurdoc/status/1443698848698970113?s=21
The ruling — which is often referred to in Texas as a “death penalty sanction” for a party unwilling to comply with court orders — is a rarity in the legal world. Jones, who is now on his seventh lawyer in these cases, had years to provide documentation requested by the court, including internal company emails

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/capitol-rioter-unvaccinated-covid-leniency-1239053/
Bissey’s argument that she could die from Covid-19 in prison is only the latest in a string of appeals to the court. Her lawyer also argued that Bissey has been “chastised on the street,” and that she had to relocate her salon because of a “drop in clientele” and economic hardships brought on by the pandemic.
As McFarlane pointed out earlier this week, Bissey even sent the judge a handwritten letter laying out that she’s about to be a grandmother, that she’s a “God-fearing, country-loving, law-abiding patriot,” and that she has attended several of Trump’s rallies without incident. “I am deeply saddened by the events that transpired on that day, and deeply remorseful that I will forever be associated,” she added of January 6th.
Bissey’s attitude seems to have changed only as she’s realized there are, in fact, consequences to participating in a mob that forcibly storms a federal building. Court documents include screenshots of several social media posts in which Bissey gleefully recounted her experience at the Capitol prior to her arrest in February.
“It was a day I’ll remember forever,” she wrote on Facebook on January 7th. “I’m so proud I was a part of it! No shame.”

Michael Flynn has embraced his profitable role as a QAnon star. But now QAnon has turned on him, accusing him of being a Satanist agent after he led a church congregation in what they say is a Satanic prayer borrowed from a nuclear doomsday cult.

Truth Social: Trump announces launch of social media site, media company (https://www.kiro7.com/news/trending/truth-social-trump-announces-launch-social-media-site-media-company/SXPHBIPEEFE77JXF5PXFVH4CQQ/)
Pranksters have already defaced Trump’s new social network (https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/10/21/trump-truth-social-fake-accounts/)
Truth Social has some unusual rules for a Trump-run site: It reserves the right to ban users and safeguard itself from lawsuits with Section 230 protections. It also prohibits ‘excessive use of capital letters.’
looks like it's just 45's latest money-grab, 99% chance he cashes out immediately after going public (let the rubes hold this turd)

Look, the Saratoga Performing Arts Center is a great ampitheater but I just do not understand what it has to do with an IPO. Perhaps Truth Social would be better served to look for an influx of cash from some sort of publicly traded company that exists for the purpose of raising money ahead of time for a future investment opportunity instead of the traditional Private Equity/Venture Capital route or this ill-conceived "music venue investment" idea.

Former President Donald Trump’s new social media site — The Truth Social — appears to be based on computer code that was appropriated from another source and may well result in him getting smacked with a lawsuit, according to a report from Gizmodo (https://www.lancastercourier.com/2021/10/22/trumps-new-social-media-site-appears-to-be-based-on-computer-code-he-stole/)
What could all of this mean for the future of Truth Social (if Trump was sued over code theft)? Probably that the site won’t be able to launch anytime soon, and even if it does, it would likely be tied up in court for years, meaning that Donald Trump would still be without a platform to spread his hatred, lies, and conspiracy theories. That alone is the very good news indeed.

'This is weird and murky.' Trump SPAC deal values firm at more than $10 billion despite red flags (https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/14/investing/trump-spac-dwac/index.html)
prevailing conspiracy theory is that this whole thing is a mechanism to get the donald paid. he's keeping a list of all the "investors" (including those pitching into the $1 billion that must be raised outside of the SPAC deal). they're betting on him winning in 2024, at which time the "investors" will be calling in favors. this same conspiracy holds that the digital media "company" will go nowhere, produce nothing, and the money will somehow "disappear"...

While very probably true, that's not why he's being investigated. People get scammed out of false promising products all the time, which is why the IPO process requires so many disclosures before the IPO.
He's being investigated because he's violating the rules of SPACs. SPACs must be created without knowing the purposes of the their eventual merger, otherwise you are deliberately flouting IPO rules (the merged company does not have to disclose as much when it joins an already listed SPAC). Trump's people have orchestrated from the very beginning who would create the SPAC and what it would be for - merging with his company after it was created. There is a paper trail a mile long on this one....

I think this is really hard for people who didn't understand what a SPAC was before Trump went down this path to comprehend, but it really is extremely wild. He basically took out an advertisement to say "I AM GOING TO COMMIT A MAJOR FINANCIAL CRIME - WHO WANTS IN!?"

Everyone on Twitter is acting like this is the greatest dunking on conservatives/troll job of all time but the Bible is already not taught in schools. Do you understand if a teacher in a public school pulled out a Bible and started including it in the lesson plan, they'd get fired? Rachel Maddow would be doing a live remote from the parking lot of that school right now. So stupid.

it's not just about what's being taught in the classroom, it's what's available in the library - that's where most of the books are being banned from.
are you saying that putting the bible in the same basket as the supposedly depraved and child-threatening books they are banning isn't a power-dunk?

Do you think there is a copy of religious texts sitting in public school libraries now? I honestly don't know. I'd assume not?
Even if it is, no, I don't think this is a power-dunk at all. Its very corny.

Teaching the text is one thing; having it available is another. The Bible is the most quoted book of all time. No doubt there are dozens of books on the shelves of any high school library that contain Bible quotes. It's basically a reference book; it's okay for students to check a source for its context.
-
^^I wept.^^
-
perhaps what isn't being grasped here is that the book banning is being done in the name of the bible, either directly (because the books insult/go against the bible) or indirectly (they promote lifestyles that go against the bible, per the book-banners).
- "in order to promote (i.e. enforce) a christian lifestyle, we've established rules to ban books."
- "ok, we're going to use your banning rules to ban the foundation of your lifestyle: the bible"
- "uh, that's not what we had in mind..."
yes, the impact will be minimal. kids aren't flocking to libraries to check out a copy of King James. but the symbolism of getting the bible banned by the fundamentalists' own rules? priceless.
-
I think your assessment is wrong
the impact will be zero
And the symbolism will not be grasped by anyone you want to
