That video was stupid. 19 photos released, and they repeatedly cycle through just a few of them. I’ve already seen better coverage of this elsewhere.

Don’t give them ideas!

I’ll believe it when I see it. I kinda get the impression that the primary purpose of this article is that…

McQuary said it expects to begin another round of fundraising soon.

These guys are absolutely fucking morons! Woman walking alone. Unmarked SUV pulls up next to her and masked men jump out. And they think she’s not going to fucking run for her god damn life?

‘Wait don’t run, Ma’am.’

Oh, yes, that clears everything up. Kidnappers looking to take her to Epstein’s Island for Matt Gaetz wouldn’t ever say that. /s

Absolute fucking dipshits.

One cannot, of course, wager on when or if Hamas will attack Israel since, in polite circles, Israelis are considered fully human and Palestinians are not.

Well put.

report of a “person with a gun” just after 9 p.m.

Walking around outside, in the US, at night, with something other people would easily think is a gun. At best, this guy lacks basic common sense.

ordered to pay restitution of $386.59 to a person whose car window he broke with a pellet

And reckless to boot.

the individual was unaware that he lived next to, and was shooting his BB gun next to, a synagogue

I call horseshit. We’ve got several Jewish community gathering places near us, and subtle they are not. You’d have to be completely ignorant of Judaism to not instantly recognize them for what they are. You can’t live next to one and not know it.

and his affinities, including family ties, to the Jewish community.

So, yeah, he knew. Not saying the guy was being antisemitic, but something sure isn’t adding up. At best he’s a fucking idiot.

or they’ll stay home.

Good enough for me.

Supporters say it’s over her advocacy for Gazan children.

How DARE she!!! /s

If that video was sedition, then so is this post. They’re saying the exact same thing.

I recall a podcast I listened to years ago talking about some schools trying out a new model that worked something like…

Instead of taking out a loan, you just enter into a contract with the school that x% of your paycheck for the first z years after graduation go to the school. Kinda like child support.

Get an unemployable degree and now your making burgers for minimum wage? Then you don’t owe anything.

Get an amazing job that pays a ton? That degree is going to cost you.

Now it’s in the school’s best interest to A) offer degrees that are actually worth something instead of misleading students down a dead end path, and B) help students find and keep good positions after graduation.

It sounded awesome. But what I found infuriating were the people they interviewed that benefitted from the program, now had fantastic high salary jobs, and were whining about how much they were having to pay for the education and program that got them into that high paying job in the first place.

Trump defended Witkoff on Tuesday night. “That’s what a dealmaker does. You’ve got to say look, they want this, you’ve got to convince them of this,” Trump said while onboard Air Force One. “That’s a very standard form of negotiation.” He added that he imagined Witkoff “is saying the same thing to Ukraine”.

That’s not negotiation! That’s not deal making! That’s outright capitulation to the aggressor in a war that should never have been started.

You’ve got to say look, they want this, you’ve got to convince them of this

But that’s not what he was saying. He was coaching them on how to convince YOU, Mr. Trump, on how to manipulate YOU, Mr Trump, to get you to help them to get everything they want.

Will the Democratic Party go for it? Party moderates might be skeptical, considering that in 2016 and 2020, the current system produced their preferred presidential nominees in Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden.

This is exactly the problem. We need current politicians to pass RCV to fix the current broken system. But they don’t see the current system as broken, because the current system is what got them elected, so it must work, right? Also, they may recognized that, in a system where voters have a real choice and aren’t forced to choose between the lesser of two evils, they might have a harder time getting elected (or maybe don’t even stand a chance), so… “that can’t be good.”

Pssh. Everyone knows that’s what alcohol is for.

Funny how the administration keeps bringing this up in the news cycle, repeatedly reminding troops that they should not obey illegal orders. If they’d just ignored the video, everyone would have forgotten about it by now.

It’s as if they either A) have never heard of the Streisand Effect, or B) are trying to distract everyone from something else.

Anyway, how about them Epstein Files?

Russia will not stick to any deal. Even the complete surrender and subjugation of Ukraine will just lead to Putin putting more focus on his actives in Europe.

I read that as dripping with sarcasm.
