Honestly he should sue for slander/libel and endangerment to his self/family for someone making such claims.

I think that might actually help the doj by providing an accepted definition.

this will likely come down to the govts whimsical attempt to criminally define clearly amorphous (but protected) speech for its prosecutorial benefit. a criminal case should loose lose instantly up and down the courts. we may get a chance to test that.

Fuck James Comey

well, yes… but. if the trump directed doj pursues a charge, its a serious 1st amendment challenge. we can all individually guess at motive, but another pillar may get publicly tested.

there is no “set” definition

👍 bread & circus about to get a whole lot circus-ier. wonder if they have the balls to charge?

ding, ding, ding! close rural offices, make phone support unworkable with additional staff cuts and deadend “AI” phone IVR and finally ensure that online interactions are impossible.

hundreds of billions will be saved on the bodies of dead Americans to help pay for those trillionaire tax cuts.

oh, ffs! just call him a “imbecilic moron that will be ignored” and move on. tired of the attention paid to his every mental bowel movement.

how about an ad tailored precisely by your recent history - graphics/audio/content and all, delivered to you in different ways depending on how you are feeling at any given moment? an instant and dynamic money extraction machine shaping and shaped by your second by second stream of clicks and queries, completing the transformation of everyone into lab monkeys.

ai is already your online sig-o, friend, assistant, whatever, so…?

Before she was a judge, Dugan worked as a poverty attorney and executive director of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.

well there’s her original sin! not defending the the powerful against the unwashed hordes.

personally, I prefer the good ol double bang (!!), but whatever floats yer boat, and all that.

not disagreeing with you - I find performative “wrestle drama” absolutely, mind numbingly pointless. my preference is to participate in (and ocassionally watch) unscripted combat sport.

however… I have trained competitive martial arts for decades (muay thai, bjj, others) and most of these “wrestling” participants are pretty skilled athletes. it takes training to turn combinations of techniques designed to injure into something reasonably harmless. there is a pretty fine line separating sparring from a fight.

I know you know this, but its still useful to remember that these players are actors as well as athletes and that can obviously be pretty inviting for a lot of viewers.

the man has 10,000 alibis in every us state and territory. sounds like reasonable doubt to me.

he brings live shakespearean actor mojo to the small screen and makes zero fucking apologies for it. its like watching a honda civic do a quarter mile with a corvette engine.

best. captain. eva.

anyone else felt the impending finger slice in that photo? case looks pissed and out for flesh.

I am glad you picked this one out. the court is throwing down the gauntlet on who gets essential non-citizen constitutional protections. residents means everyone, y’all (or at least something meaningfully close).

such a beautiful judicial middle finger to the executive. want some joy in your life right now? read this order. seriously.

thank you for linking this. I hope it stays or finds another home.

100%

anything that creates emotional space enough for people to gather, contemplate and talk is a good thing. we need people willing to see and say that “none of this is ok”.

if they end up marching in the streets, great! but I will be happy with them simply taking to their prayer group and repeating that “none of this is ok”.

edit: humanity, apathy, stupidity and hate are powerful things, but when apathy falls away I believe humanity can bend the majority toward our better proclivities, even through the stupidity and hate.

this thread is gaddamn gold! thank you, friends.

…from my cold, dead hand. no lie.

look at this social climber here!

pushing people into the cesspool.
