The rule of Lemnity said...: Via a letter to the chairmen of the judiciary, Mark Zuckerberg finally admits:

1. Biden-Harris Admin "pressured" Facebook to censor Americans.

2. Facebook censored Americans.

3. Facebook throttled the Hunter Biden laptop story.; 8/27/24, 7:51 PM
tim in vermont said...: Durov had to be arrested in order to gain control of Telegram, because if it weren't for Telegram, the media could tell us anything they wanted about the Ukraine war and we would have no way to know that they are constantly lying to us.; 8/27/24, 8:05 PM
Caroline said...: Last night my niece called to tell us about a creative new scam. Her phone rang, number showed up as Dad so she answered. On the line was not Dad but someone claiming to be holding him hostage, and who would blow Dad’s brains out unless money appeared. Oh, and she was told “if you call 912 I will blow your dads brains.” Niece went into shock and hung up, checked Dad on find friends, called 911. Police surrounded Dads office within minutes, Dad not knowing what was going on. This is caller Id spoofing. Add a little AI and they can fool you with loved ones’ voices. As it is, spoofers knew a lot about the family. Traumatic and frightening. Stay safe out there .; 8/27/24, 8:07 PM

just like shooting and then drawing bullseye!; 8/27/24, 8:47 PM
Inga said...: Reprehensible. That’s how much he honors fallen soldiers, by posing with a thumbs up and big campaign worthy smile on his face in an area he was not allowed to take photos in. This, along with a woman who has appeared on Russian State TV, talking smack about her own country, a nutcase who saws the head off of an endangered species, a whale to take home with him, the dead baby bear rotting on his trunk, then dumping it in Central Park, yup Trump and the people he chooses are top notch.; 8/27/24, 8:51 PM
Inga said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 8/27/24, 9:12 PM
Inga said...: Superseding indictment for the Washington DC election interference case. Looks like the same four charges.

“In a written notice to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Smith said that the indictment was filed “by a new grand jury that had not previously heard evidence in this case” and that it “reflects the Government’s efforts to respect and implement the Supreme Court’s holdings and remand instructions.” Trump faces the same four charges related to his alleged attempts to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory. Smith said he will not seek to have Trump arraigned again on the new version of the indictment and still expects to make a joint proposal with the former president’s defense lawyers this week about how to schedule new pretrial hearings. “
WaPo

Also Jack Smith appeals the dismissed documents case to the 11th Circuit.

Good to see justice may one day be served despite the delays and corrupt judges, like Cannon.; 8/27/24, 9:24 PM
They’re eating the cats — They’re eating the dogs said...: Even when you take out all the things Trump did that the Supreme Court said was "official" and therefore immune, jurors still think that attempting a coup is a crime.; 8/27/24, 9:30 PM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: From your link:
In a statement to NPR, Steven Cheung, the Trump campaign's spokesman, strongly rejected the notion of a physical altercation, adding: "We are prepared to release footage if such defamatory claims are made.

"The fact is that a private photographer was permitted on the premises and for whatever reason an unnamed individual, clearly suffering from a mental health episode, decided to physically block members of President Trump's team during a very solemn ceremony," Cheung said in the statement.; 8/27/24, 9:40 PM
Rocco said...: Rich said...
“…jurors still think that attempting a coup is a crime.”

I agree, Rich. Which is why your side has fought tooth and nail to denigrate the idea of election fraud, and make sure evidence never gets to be brought before a jury.; 8/27/24, 9:41 PM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: Inga - Tulsi Gabbard has never been on Russia State TV - as you keep accusing. This is a lie. Inga- YOU are a lying liar who lies.; 8/27/24, 9:44 PM

gadfly said...: "This is the third anniversary of the BOTCHED Afghanistan withdrawal, the most EMBARRASSING moment in the history of our Country,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “Gross Incompetence – 13 DEAD American soldiers, hundreds of people wounded and dead, AMERICANS and BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF MILITARY EQUIPMENT LEFT BEHIND.“You don’t take our soldiers out first, you take them out LAST, when all else is successfully done,” he added. “Russia then invaded Ukraine, Israel was attacked, and the USA became, and is, a laughing stock all over the World.”

Arlington National Cemetery said it could “confirm there was an incident, and a report was filed.”
“Federal law prohibits political campaign or election-related activities within Army National Military Cemeteries, to include photographers, content creators or any other persons attending for purposes, or in direct support of a partisan political candidate’s campaign,” it said.

So our third-generation draft dodger pretended to care about the soldiers who were suckers and losers enough to get killed during the United States' withdrawal from its Afghanistan adventure, holding a flower arrangement while his cultists filmed his illegal activity for everyone to see.; 8/27/24, 10:35 PM

Drago said...: "BREAKING: The families of the 13 American soldiers who were murdered in Afghanistan have sent a letter thanking President Trump for being the ONLY President who showed up to honor the fallen

"We would like to express our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to President Donald J. Trump for his presence at the recent Section 60 gathering, honoring our children and their fallen brothers and sisters. On the three-year anniversary of the Abbey Gate bombing, the President and his team conducted themselves with nothing but the utmost respect and dignity for all of our service members, especially our beloved children."

Remember, soy boy cat lady gadfly, who never served by the way, thought the harris/biden Afghanistan surrender/provide weapons op to the the Taliban was a FANTASTIC operation.

Humperdink said...: Remember this? : “For all this talk of chaos, I just didn’t see it. Not from my perch,” Pentagon Spokesidiot John Kirby said.

What was that all about? How about the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan? Nothing says chaos like citizens hanging to the landing gear of a C-17 on takeoff. Or a suicide bomber killing and maiming US military personnel.

Gadfly, I will take a non-military leader like Trump over Biden and band of merry pentagon lackies like Kirby anytime.

@NicoleShanahan

"I’ll admit I used to kind of roll my eyes when people claimed that President Trump was being “persecuted.” I was looking at it through the distorted filter of the media. Well, I just completed my first cross-examination in our second New York Ballot Access case, where the DNC-aligned PAC attorneys questioned me like a criminal. OK, I get it now. Our justice system is clearly being co-opted and abused by nefarious people with malevolent political agendas."

What I want to suggest is we quit the practice of blaming the entire state for the silly and costly actions of the corrupt lawyers bringing this case. They’ll get paid for their work on the case and it will be taxpayer dollars, but if no reasonable prosecutor would act, then we should call out the unreasonable ones. We do it for Jack Smith. We should state naming them all.; 8/28/24, 5:38 AM

Would it ever occur to any normal human to stand over the grave of a fallen Marine at Arlington with a big grin on your face and your thumb up to take a photo so it could benefit you personally?

Who in the world would do something like that?
Donald Trump....; 8/28/24, 10:26 AM

They’re eating the cats — They’re eating the dogs said...: @Iman: I guarantee you that you’ll sound better informed if you bother to read whatever it is you’re commenting about.

"The source said Arlington officials had made clear that only cemetery staff members would be authorized to take photographs or film in the area, known as Section 60.

When the cemetery official tried to prevent Trump campaign staff from entering Section 60, campaign staff verbally abused and pushed the official aside, according to the source."

In a statement to NPR, Arlington National Cemetery said it "can confirm there was an incident, and a report was filed."

"Federal law prohibits political campaign or election-related activities within Army National Military Cemeteries, to include photographers, content creators or any other persons attending for purposes, or in direct support of a partisan political candidate's campaign," according to the statement. "Arlington National Cemetery reinforced and widely shared this law and its prohibitions with all participants."
