It is kind of crazy that we have a president and multiple senators who are completely incapacitated because they refuse to give up their power while the FBI/DOJ have given up all pretense and are now openly interfering in elections on behalf of an openly corrupt rapist president who took provable bribes to sell his office to the highest bidder and tens of millions of people are clapping because it's their team

All of these indictments are just making Trump look good. This latest one means he can now subpoena anyone involved in the 2020 election because they are charging him in court for claiming there were irregularities so now it has to be proven there weren't any.

I just don't know how the Democrats will try to ratchet up ybnmw, because each one of these only seems to be accelerating towards the election.

Is this timeline correct?:

3/17 - Hunter admits laptop
3/18 - Trump indictment news

6/8 - FBI doc alleges Biden bribe
6/9 - Trump indicted

7/26 - Hunter plea deal collapses
7/27 - Trump indicted

7/31 - Devon Archer testifies
8/1 - Trump indicted

a party that happily throws away the gdp of a small nation every couple years for a 20pt loss on a senate race in kentucky or south carolina isn't too concerned about electoral victory

and by dint of the 2 party duopoly and population sorting, they're guaranteed a floor of 20 or so states, so there'll always be some folks in office to cut deals

nothing is being thrown away by the party, it's being redirected into the pockets of their friends and family

Media literacy quiz: how many sources are used for this NYPost article:

hxxps://nypost.com/2023/08/04/twitch-influencer-kai-cenats-giveaway-causes-riot-in-nycs-union-square/

quote:

The location of the mass gathering wasn’t announced until just before Cenat arrived at the park and a permit was never obtained, officials said. (1)


Within half an hour, the crowd of a “couple thousand” turned violent, with rioters tossing cones, bottles, rocks and brawling with each other — and NYPD whisking Cenat out of the area for his safety, NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey said. (1)

“[The] NYPD became aware at about 1:30 p.m of a crowd forming in Union Square. It was quickly determined that an influencer was posting on social media about showing up to Union Square. He was encouraging all of his followers to come to the park,” Maddrey said at a press conference late Friday afternoon. (still 1)

“The crowd was swarmed when the influencer finally arrived at the park. Individuals in the park began to commit acts of violence towards the police and the public.” (still 1)

Police sources described the chaos as a “full-on riot.” (1!)

Cenat was taken to an Upper East Side precinct and is facing charges of inciting a riot and unlawful assembly, Maddrey said. (yup, still 1 source)

It is unknown if Cenat actually ended up giving anything away
.

Three officers and 4 civilians were injured, cops said. (1)

Two teenagers also allegedly threw garbage cans at police officers on East 10th Street off Broadway. Some carried axes and shovels, and Maddrey said kids were “throwing fireworks” at police and other attendees. (1, still)

Videos captured the kids screaming and climbing on vehicles as one appeared to use the sharp end of an umbrella to smash a parked car.

Post reporters witnessed rioters chucking a desk lamp and parking cones at police as they tried to quell the crowd. Maddrey said some cops were injured and hospitalized but it was unclear how many. (1!)

“It was a very dangerous situation,” Maddrey said. “We were in there, we were crushed, we were pushed. I had officers on the floor. (1)

“I was hit with multiple objects as well. I think I have a couple of injuries but I’ll figure that out when I have time to think about it.” (1)

The chief said several teens were also injured. (1)

The NYPD managed to dissipate the crowd just before 6 p.m. with cops tailing some groups as they dispersed south.

An MTA bus was loaded with dozens of arrestees — with some trying to attack the vehicle as it pulled away from the scene.

A total of 19 juveniles and nine adults have been collared so far, sources said, but Maddrey said the “total number of arrests are still being tallied.” (1)

Jonathan Meija, a 15-year-old from Downtown Brooklyn, arrived at the park around 4 p.m. to see Cenat, whom he said is “really my inspiration.” (first new source!, 2!)

The teen said he saw children throwing objects at riot cops by the famous Strand bookstore off Broadway.

“When we came over here, they were destroying people’s cars and s–t,” Meija said. “I’m with my friends and they were like, ‘Let’s go out, f–k it.’”

Vendor Mohamed Ramadan, 39, said a group of kids destroyed the top of his food truck and estimated they did $2,000 in damages. (3!)

“They broke the cart, the food truck. They go up the cart and they take all the stuff and they pushed the cart,” he said. “It was kids. It was kids!

“They come for a YouTuber. They run away and make a lot of damage for the streets.”

Several stores around the park were still closed around 8 p.m., including Whole Foods, DSW and Burlington.

“The individuals who created this dangerous situation and who attacked and injured New York City police officers need to be identified, held accountable, and subjected to serious consequences. That hasn’t happened in the past. It absolutely must happen this time,” Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Hendry said in a statement. ("4" but really still 3.)

3 sources, 1 of which makes up about 90% of the article.

Weird how that one source didn't explain why his officers felt the need to grab a random kid and smash his face through the rear window of a taxi. Not into, through.

Part of the tension of the show imo is that Matt realizes that, taking a long view, the best way to dismantle American empire and the stability of the capitalist system is Trump. Not that Trump does it effectively or intentionally, but we've already seen all sorts of institutions throw away their credibility or otherwise become unstable by Trump's mere existence, or rather by doing away with the West Wing bullshit and exposing American empire for what it is. Trump's boorishness, and liberal reaction to it, are destabilizing forces.

bear in mind that I'm a simple goon -

being a former French colony and knowing Europeans I would expect that France has a treaty 'legally binding' to all successor governments that relevant French corporations in control at the time have all rights to oil/minerals/etc. that it cared to ask for at the time of 'decolonization' (all of them)

and also probably permanent right of first refusal for all subsequent resource discoveries

they're still using France's regional colonial scrip that's pegged to the Euro for their currency after all

the funnier part of that story is that despite her getting into a fight with them over the fire emblem fates localization not being sufficiently pro pedo apparently her literal masters thesis which was publicly available to read online at the time made the argument that japanese pedophilia culture is actually good

It was kinda funny watching her claim not to be a pedophile, while her twitter avatar was her wearing a t-shirt with Sailor Moon, a 14 year old anime girl, pulling up her skirt to show her panties.
