Laughter, snark and sarcasm. PacNW. Car guy. Infosec dork. Usually in that order.

I don't always follow back so don't feel compelled to follow.

This is so funny because it's true. To make my point, the top link lets you block MAGA automatically. :)

Dems should say this right now, loudly and clearly: Anyone who is trusting Donald Trump, of all people, when he says what he’s directing you to do is lawful and that you’ll be protected later may be putting themselves in a very precarious position. 6/

In 2022 they wanted to classify it as a WMD: "As synthetic opioid overdose deaths in the United States reach historic levels, some policy stakeholders have sought U.S. action in designating fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction.."

All these "illegals" abusing SNAP benefits also buying up all the houses.

How does that even work.
FOX NEWS: Do you believe that the number of people who came into the country illegally is one of the major factors that drove up housing prices?

FED GOV STEPHAN MIRAN: I absolutely believe that's the case

A reminder that in 2022, President Biden signed the “Eliminating Limits to Justice for Child Sex Abuse Victims Act,” eliminating the statute of limitations to file civil action for federal sex offenses. Seems relevant.

But the NYT had evidence directly contradicting Donald Trump‘s claims that he’d never been to Epstein‘s house and that they cut ties 15 years ago.

Seems like that could’ve been a story.
I am not defending Landon’s relationship with Epstein. In fact, the NYT didn’t even try to defend it. He left the paper. What I’m saying is that a piece of investigative journalism that exposes a secret, criminal act such as statutory rape requires far more than what is in these emails.

So, they wouldn't even let Trump in. Check.

When you get Boebert to say "no" to you...
The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

I don't know the legal system and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but I'm going to make a leap and assume judges aren't fond of defendants moving goal posts.
"Defendants’ October Letters and their subsequent mistakes in November have repeatedly shifted the goalposts for States, each time requiring States to rely on incorrect information not in accordance with the law. As such, they may not be enforced against the States."

The Earth is flat....except the science that all points to it being a sphere.

HASSETT: We're comfortable that inflation has come way down

QUINTANILLA: Even though it's been increasing for 5 straight months?

There are ~5,000 armed ICE agents, and ~20,000 CBP border patrol officers (the ones who work outside).

The NYPD alone has ~35,000 cops.

This is not an argument for complacency, but against doomerism.

And to note the importance of flagging their performative toughness aimed at masking weakness.
