Stockholm syndrome, I’d guess. Maybe defeatism leading these people to do the “if you can’t beat them, join them” thing from years of abuse and shittiness at work.

Or it’s that my generation is a waste and we should just engineer a virus that gets rid of people my age and older. Probably for the best!

Nate stans which exist for some reason: “Well you see you’re too dumb to realize that a 2% chance is not the same as a 0% chance. Further, you’re too simple minded and see it as pure percent when what Nate does is break it down into possible scenarios and guess what this was one of the scenarios that happened so Nate is actually right”

Yup exactly. A R is judged to have won a debate when he/she hasn’t audibly shat their pants whereas a Dem lost it because they said the same word twice.

My understanding of high school debate is pretty shaky but it doesn't matter what you actually say so much as how you say it, right? So the right wing talking heads lean really heavy into HS debate tactics because if you just fire off a bunch of stuff that sounds smart to a dumb person really fast and act confident in it and load up too many points to be responded to, you've won. Hence Ben Shapiro "destroying with facts and logic" when an actual smart person tries to rebut thoughtfully. And all the idiots say :hmmyes: "those were many big words and he confirms my beliefs, astounding victory."

As a generation ages their demographics get more conservative. People wrongly think this is because people get more conservative as they age but according to a study a few years ago it turns out that conservative people live longer because they tend to have more money so are from safer areas and have access to more healthcare at an earlier age and through their life and so on.

Judge fines Trump lawyers in Clinton case thrown out in September


quote:

A federal judge on Thursday fined lawyers for former president Donald Trump more than $66,000 and admonished them for filing frivolous and baseless claims in Trump’s defamation case against Hillary Clinton and her allies, stemming from the 2016 presidential election.

The fines levied by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks, a President Bill Clinton appointee in the Southern District of Florida, include a $50,000 sanction to the court and an additional $16,274.23 payment to one of the 29 defendants in the case, Charles Dolan, for expenses he incurred as a result of the suit, which the judge dismissed in September.

The defamation suit accused 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and her allies of harming Trump with an orchestrated plan to spread false information that his campaign colluded with Russia. Middlebrooks, in dismissing the suit in September, had written that there were “glaring structural deficiencies in the plaintiff’s argument.”

Two of the Trump lawyers — Alina Habba and Peter Ticktin — signaled that they would appeal.

“We attempted to right a wrong, and our reward is a kick in the teeth,” Ticktin said in an email. “Ultimately, this will be decided by a panel of three judges of the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, as we believe that the dismissal and the sanctions which followed will ultimately be reversed.”

The other lawyers, Michael T. Madaio and Jamie Alan Sasson, did not immediately respond to email messages from The Post.

The fines are the latest legal setback for Trump. Federal officials are investigating him for taking sensitive government documents after leaving the White House, and officials in Manhattan are scrutinizing the financial records of his sprawling real estate business. Last month a federal judge in a separate case said Trump signed legal documents that he knew included false voter fraud numbers

The fines also come as Republicans and conservative media outlets have openly blamed Trump for Republicans underperforming in Tuesday’s midterm elections, which Trump had hoped would demonstrate his electoral clout ahead of an expected announcement next week that he would run for president in 2024.

In the lawsuit, Trump’s lawyers had inaccurately described Dolan in court papers as a former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, a senior official in the Clinton campaign and a close associate and adviser of Clinton. Trump’s lawsuit also accused Dolan, a public relations executive, of helping create a “dossier” of false information intended to smear Trump.

In response, a lawyer for Dolan demanded that his client be removed from the lawsuit, noting in court papers that Dolan did not participate in the creation of the dossier, had never been a chairman of the DNC, and said that his role in the campaign was, as Middlebrooks wrote, “limited to knocking on doors as a volunteer.”

Clinton, through a spokesperson, denied even knowing him, Middlebrooks wrote.

Trump’s lawyers then amended their complaint but did not substantively change their claims about Dolan, the judge wrote. The amended complaint referred to Dolan as a former chairman of a “national Democratic political organization,” and a “senior Clinton campaign official,” Middlebrooks wrote. Criticisms about this amended complaint were “unheeded,” the judge wrote.

In levying the fines against Trump’s lawyers, Middlebrooks cited Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure which, the judge wrote, is meant to deter “attorneys and litigants from clogging federal courts with frivolous filings.”

Middlebrooks wrote that penalties under that rule are necessary when a party files a pleading “that has no reasonable factual basis,” is “based on a legal theory that has no reasonable chance of success,” or when a pleading is filed “in bad faith.”

“Here, all three are true,” Middlebrooks wrote. Later, he added, “The pleadings in this case contained factual allegations that were either knowingly false or made in reckless disregard for the truth.”

As an example, Middlebrooks highlighted a detail presented by Trump’s lawyers that said Dolan was a resident of Florida. Dolan’s lawyer noted his client was a resident of Virginia and did not do any campaign work in Florida.

Trump’s lawyers responded, bizarrely, in the amended complaint that Dolan was a resident of New York and that “Charles Dolan is an incredibly common name, and Plaintiff’s counsel’s traditional search methods identified countless individuals with said name across the country, many of whom reside in New York.”

I'm 41 now and my first vote was at 19 because there wasn't an election until then. I think I missed 2 votes in my life. One because I was in my early 20s and didn't know about primaries, and another because I had the flu and couldn't make it to the polling place. Now the second my mail in ballot comes in I fill it out and mail it out the same day (or the day after if I need to look up the ballot questions and such.)
