A Bad Poster posted:

All of these moves make complete sense if you view Biden as a republican from 1994, which he is.

Here's the sourcing that's better than the tweet:

https://www.nola.com/news/courts/article_96191532-a2ba-11eb-ae26-c3a55e5b05ca.html


quote:

Sources have said New Orleans-area Rep. Cedric Richmond, now among Biden’s closest White House advisors, held the cards this time for filling the top posts at all three U.S. attorney’s offices in the state.

So it's currently a "Democrats bad" story versus a "Biden bad" story, and so activists are trying to spike the nomination before it happens, or junk it up so bad that progressive Democratic Senators wouldn't allow her through.

Here's another view of the original tweets. I do not vouch for it's accuracy.

evilweasel posted:

basically here is the involvement of Judge Keva-Landrum Johnson in the complaint: she is named as a defendant in the complaint, which then makes no specific allegations about her personally - nor are there any in the statement of facts by the plaintiffs. the decision, similarly, makes no specific findings about her personally: she shows up listed as a defendant and that's it. all of these documents were linked on the tweeter's website, so I went and read them directly.

it appears that she became chief justice in 2018, after that decision. her level of involvement in the case is unclear but it is clear that after she became chief justice, the appeal specifically did not appeal the "debtors' prison" part (jailing people without first investigating if they could pay). what was appealed was the finding that there was simply an inherent conflict of interest in the system as created - there, I agree with the district and appeals court that there is, and that the system needed to be reformed. but the argument being made on appeal wasn't crazy and it was not aimed at the "debtors' prision" stuff.

the allegation that the original tweeter tries to imply (without saying, because it would be a lie) that the case revolved around her conduct is simply intentionally false. he deliberately misleads readers about what the system created was, suggesting it was a creation of the judges and not the legislature. if you read that tweet thread you will be outraged, but the things that are outraging you are not true,

i can speculate why he chose to do that, but it's not really relevant: the picture he paints with the tweets is simply not true and it is directly contradicted by the source materials. maybe she's a bad egg for other reasons: i've never heard of her before and know only what I have read as a result of this discussion. but the end point is that this alec guy is simply intentionally misleading people.

He needs to clean house though this is apparently the second time in 2 weeks someone from Ft. Jackson has shown their rear end.

So does this mean the dude was retired or did he get served/is being served the big chicken dinner?

Believe women.

He's got an earring in the mug shot photos, so I'm guessing he's not still in. Also, long hair for a DS.

Maybe not, IDK.

He does say he's got a black kid in Georgia which is an odd aside in a drunken rant.

You can wear earrings in civvie gear iirc, can't have them when you're in uniform.

Doubt his rear end is a drill sergeant though.

quote:


Leslie Ann Sully, a media relations officer at Fort Jackson in South Carolina, told Newsweek that they were "aware of the video on TikTok and the person in question is no longer in the Army. He was already out of the Army at the time of this incident."

According to the Sumter Item, a local newspaper, Miles' LinkedIn profile said he was a drill sergeant leader at the U.S. Army Drill Sergeant Association. The profile appears to have been taken down.

So he was in the Army, recently separated, probably on terminal or fresh out of terminal leave.

Yeah he was apparently separated, though really its loving academic because even if he wasn't he would be post haste after that little show.

One week after Israel hits a Iranian nuclear facility with a cyber attack, a SAM misses and just happens to hit a Israeli nuclear facility, happens to not trigger iron dome, and happens to explode on impact? That seems like a one in a trillion series of coincidences.

Where are you seeing that, as opposed to the reports that a strategic SAM self-destructed mid-air and parts came down tens of miles from the nuclear facility?

Twitter is full of disinfo any time something blows up in Iran, Syria and Israel

A kebab shop could catch on fire and people would breathlessly post that Israel just struck an Iranian nuclear site

Only thing I can't figure out on the awful app is making a new thread, and we don't need me learning how to do that. There's a lot of black holes to scream into here already.

I believe the app devs stance on that is "You can't, and we are never ever adding that functionality because we don't want to hear about it when you autoban"
