Is Wohl’s goal to get a politician to sue for defamation and then get access to their files through discovery? I don’t really know how that would work.

At this point I think he just realizes how bad he hosed up trying this on Mueller so he's going that if he does them again and again in increasingly stupider ways it'll go from "trying and failing to convincingly frame a prosecutor and former head of the FBI" to "that loving idiot's at it again." Like he thinks it won't be criminal if people couldn't reasonably take it seriously.

I’m not one of those people who buys that it’s all a performance act but I honestly can’t tell what their game is here. Even the Trump loving conspiracy theorists who are all over literally anything that supports their world view don’t care about or believe these guys. Their entire media coverage is just left wingers making fun of them, they get no play whatsoever from the right. Are they making money from this somehow? I don’t ever see anyone supporting them even as a troll

I'm guessing the lawyer working with him is pushing a lot of it because of the $$$ he can make from that idiot. Pretty sure Wohl's bran is just a loop of I NEED ATTENTION PAY ATTENTION TO ME.

Rudy talks to (female) reporters on text all the time. It seems bonkers that a guy who was the mayor of NYC and generally thought of to be a serious person five years ago is constantly incriminating himself on television and in newspapers but the rumor on Rudy is that he's a huge alcoholic so he's probably drunk pretty much 24/7 these days

Also it's "funny" how they go on about how the fact that you could brain yourself on your toys or give yourself debilitating diseases from eating the paint off your crib means that because THEY survived without apparent ill effects, it means those hazards "toughened them up". Really it just means they were the lucky ones, and we don't talk about their friend Frankie who got a lawn dart through the head or Suzy who got cancer at 16

It reminds me of when dumb old shits talk about how being physically disciplined had "no effect" on them. "Look at me I turned out fine!" And it's just like "No, you really didn't. You flip your poo poo at almost everything and have an incredibly short fuse."

My boss surprised me with her stance on this. She's only 39 and always talks about how her mom "wouldn't have put up with that, she'd set my rear end straight!" and then without fail pairs it with "and I turned out fine so there!" This woman bitches literally every day at work about mostly the same things/people and has the worst temper/attitude of anyone I've met. She's a two-faced bully who just made a girl quit because she couldn't handle dealing with her every day.

Trying to imagine what the equivalent to this would have been like when I was growing up. I'm having real trouble.

It wouldn't be like, say, parents dressing their kid up as Bigfoot or a gray alien, because those are well known legends, perfectly fine ideas for Halloween costumes. It wouldn't be like dressing him as Hitler or, like, Charles Manson or Lee Harvey Oswald or something, because that's an obvious WTF taboo.

What kind of analog was there to today's bullshit even.

Okay, I’d never heard of this reporter and didn’t know if she was credible. This is the sort of text chain that people fake all the time, but Rudy is very dumb and loves media attention.

That is one of the defenses for Trump soliciting illegal information from China, so we shouldn’t be surprised.

Agreed, but since people think my little emergency kit in my work bag goes overboard because it has a quick-clot sponge in it, I can only assume that keeping an AED around would cause most people to label you as a complete doomsday prepper.

I was curious whether sticking AED's everywhere actually made a difference and apparently they do (from Wikipedia):

In a study analyzing the effects of having AEDs immediately present during Chicago's Heart Start program over a two-year period, of 22 individuals, 18 were in a cardiac arrhythmia which AEDs can treat. Of these 18, 11 survived. Of these 11 patients, 6 were treated by bystanders with absolutely no previous training in AED use.

So not a bad success rate.They also note that a trained professional can operate an AED within 60 seconds whereas a 6th grader takes 90 seconds.

That’s actually a great success rate, considering the typical survival rate for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is 8 percent.

Yeah, applying an AED early is a huge factor determining whether someone manages to survive cardiac arrest. Heart attacks aren’t super common but it can make all the difference when they happen

Cardiac arrest and heart attacks are two completely different things. It doesn’t hurt to put an AED on someone having a heart attack in case they go into cardiac arrest, though.

Heart attacks are when a blockage means the heart muscle isn’t getting adequate blood flow. Cardiac arrest is when the heart’s not beating. It can be moving, but ineffectively (AED’s can help with that!) or it can have no electrical activity at all (AED’s can’t help with that, and to be honest the drugs that get administered during a code are badly studied and might not do much either). Cardiac arrest can happen all at once (Sudden Cardiac Arrest, usually due to some kind of heart defect), because of issues with the heart’s peacemaking, due to health issues (everybody dies of something after all), etc. Heart attacks can lead to cardiac arrest, but, two different things. Don’t give CPR to someone who’s just having chest pain. I’ve seen someone do that and it was stupid.

I’m 0-9 in terms of saves on cardiac arrests without immediate CPR and AED use. Never seen anyone who actually dropped and got proper care right away.

If I could afford an AED for my car, I'd have one. On my person I always have a minimum of a TQ- normally more. I nearly always have my messenger bag, which has more in it- a small trauma kit, extra TQ, candy, sewing kit, zip ties, Narcan, and other assorted everyday emergency needs. It seems like over kill, but I would rather have to means to help, than to not.
I should note I'm also trained in everything I know how to use, not just sime random dickhead who watched YouTube.
