When UW and UT were in the Sugar Bowl this year, we were a house divided, which is always fun.; 1/8/24, 9:03 PM

mezzrow said...: Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who has targeted Donald Trump and 18 others with the crime of challenging the 2020 election, is alleged to have an ongoing affair with her subordinate, Fulton County Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade.

The claim comes from the attorneys for defendant Michael Roman, who today filed their motion to dismiss and disqualify DA Willis and the Special Prosecutor.

Jupiter said...: The most neglected aspect of recent history is the collapse of the Soviet Union. The 20th Century was the staging ground for a confrontation of apocalyptic proportions. War, after war, after war, clearly leading up to an even greater war, in which, quite possibly, all of civilization, understood in economic terms, might well disappear. I grew up understanding this conflict as both appalling and unavoidable -- "Twilight struggle", as Sorenson put it.

But then the Soviets just said "Fuck it". Gimme some blue jeans. We've had enough of this shit.

At the time, we all just went, "Cool! Cold War over, and civilization didn't end!". No nukes arcing over the Pole, in the final dance of death that we spent billions preparing, yet no one wanted to see.

The whole denouement was so welcome, that we hardly gave a thought to how it was possible. Maybe the Soviets weren't absolutely inhuman monsters. Who knew? Maybe even we weren't absolutely inhuman monsters. Was it conceivable that the device our hubris had unleashed upon the World did not actually require the human race to bring about its own termination?; 1/8/24, 11:27 PM
Rt41Rebel said...: Drudge Report Headline: Trump Had Sex On Epstein Island With Many Underage Girls!

And then you actually read the article, and in paragraph six, the witness withdraws her claim and says that she never saw Trump on the island or any of the resorts. That’s journalism.; 1/9/24, 2:06 AM

Republicans agreeing to spending levels $69 billion higher than last summer's debt ceiling "deal", with no significant policy wins is nothing but another loss for America. At some point, having the House majority has to matter. Stop funding this spending with an open border!

"Multimillionaire TV host and movie star Whoopi Goldberg lashed out at poor people during Monday’s edition of ABC’s The View. She was irate that poor people would dare to be upset about having to pay high prices for basic goods and vote against President Biden because of it. She told them to ignore inflation and suggested that if they didn’t, and former President Trump returned to the White House, he would have them put in “camps.”

She then told Americans that they should get used to having open borders and people jumping ahead of the line to get into the U.S"

"A top prosecutor on Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team recommended that the FBI shut down an investigation into the Clinton Foundation in 2016, despite ample evidence of suspicious activity related to hundreds of thousands of dollars in foreign transactions, Fox News reported.
In his May 2023 report on the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation, Special Counsel John Durham identified Ray Hulser, the former chief of the Department of Justice’s Public Integrity Section (PIN), as the official who “declined prosecution” of the Clinton Foundation. Hulser now serves on Smith’s team currently prosecuting former President Donald Trump for alleged crimes related to January 6."
