I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

He's not going to block stories calling him out for putting himself at the top of anyone's feed who hasn't yet blocked him. He's admitted to it and said that regular media does the same.

My suggestion continues to be just block him, don't repost his poo poo, and encourage others to do the same. It's a shame there's not a publicly facing posting gloryhole so we can see who the most blocked person is.

He has repeatedly removed blocks of him and his tweets will show up in your feed regardless.

Depending on which advertising package they went with, wouldn't keeping them unblocked and clicking on their ads cost them?

They were hitting sports event advertising quite a lot, college basketball/football ads had a lot of them. Back then, it wasn't really known that it was The Servant Foundation bankrolling it and they took credit for the Mississippi law that overturned Roe.

I always figured they were just generically jesusey until the Superbowl ads came out and people dug into tax returns and who bankrolled what.

gently caress I remember seeing a few of those ads during college football games. They were all "Jesus was an immigrant" stuff that made me wonder if it was some vaguely lib thing.

From the context I was expecting Mr. nice to have seen adds of Jesus flipping tables at drag queen story hour or something.

In further decline-of-empire news, Matt Gaetz will not be charged with any of the sex poo poo he did because of course not.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/15/politics/matt-gaetz-justice-department/index.html

My guess is sexist "she wanted it, it's not a crime!" bullshit, but good old fashioned "we just can't prove anything ever at all against a white male politician" will probably be just as likely.

The simple version:

https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/1625913863991328781?t=8a7xjZUqFRmvtk3rQFJM4w&s=19

It appears that the victim is saying "I'm not a victim" and the star witness is the ringleader that literally fabricated an underage sex accusation about something else. DOJ went after everyone else involved, but likely couldn't quite find a way to get Gaetz. They'd need witnesses (one won't testify, one is a convicted felon liar) or clear financial malfeasance mentioning underage poo poo (not mentioned in any of the Venmo receipts).

https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/1625931862743842819?t=wkNuu_STfTFe4V4ZCEoWSw&s=19

So it's more murky than it initially appears. Counterpoint thread (ugh) here:

The best bit is that he's apparently kicked his college freshman habit and married Palmer Luckey's sister. My brain is currently unwilling to research more about the weird Nestor poo poo, as I only vaguely remember it and don't want to remember more.

This is a false flag by the MIC to build a new aerial radar array or somesuch high expense boondogle. I can't imagine learning US response times is worth the smoke that would come from launching a bunch of balloons into US airspace.

I wasn't aware that the US flew missions over Canada, however. Do we have some kind of standing joint defense resolution or something like that?

Why do you think it’s called NORAD and not USAD? Canada and the U.S. take turns commanding NORAD. We uh, are tightly integrated with our backwards, canuckunism Like communism but with Poutine and Cheese Curds) loving native hating neighbors to the north. Tightly integrated.

The brigades near the Canadian border also have Canadian exchange officers working on their staffs that essentially do the same kind of work as any American captain on a staff would do.

Did someone purposefully find the whitest person they could and make her ambassador to Afghanistan?

Let's face it, besides striking the occasional high level target, we don't care about Afghanistan. Why not employ the most suburban middle manager in the DoS? Like she's good enough to get a position of higher responsibility, but not good enough (or there's no openings) for the good stuff. Poor woman doesn't even have a wikipedia page.
