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?

I was mainly banking on having the "accidental discharges are a sign of good gunhandling practices" crowd taking themselves out of the running by loving up the blackpowder handling, but yeah. Some issues may apply.

Not even much of a party trick. A blazingly fast federal trial generally starts about a year after charges are filed. There are some bog-standard federal trials still waiting to start that were charged back in 2020. The speedy trial act says it's supposed to be 100 days, but everyone involved on both sides usually just lols at that. That might be different if the defendant is locked up or something.

From the analysis I've read, the J6 case is also heavily complex with 3 weeks slated for the prosecution and shitloads of transcripts and records for the defense to read. The classified docs case is the simple one (hey, you have documents that you shouldn't, you know you had them, and you hosed around with subpoenas).

But then again, the J6 judge could shuffle things along as she appears to be doing, while Cannon drags things out for every defense lawyer statement or motion. Apparently none of her notes or actions have been chudgy yet - her questions back to the DOJ were apparently legit. But that probably won't stick around long.

I haven't seen it discussed here yet but yesterday, a major fire swept through the town of Lahaina on Maui, forcing people to flee by whatever means possible (including jumping into the ocean.) At least 36 people are dead, the town is completely destroyed, and the survivors have lost everything. I know one person who lived there with their mother, and while they escaped, they've lost every single thing they've owned. The destruction, and the speed that it occurred, are just terrifying.

Yeah honestly stop trying to find some secret mattering that will cause Cannon to get thrown off the bench, and instead laugh at the fact she's a terrible judge and her case has basically become a sideshow for now.

She's obviously very pissed off that she doesn't get to weigh in on the Jan 6th case and if you don't find that funny, idk what to tell you.

I was extremely surprised how brown it was when we ran by there. Currently wondering if they send us back for humanitarian when we drop off our cargo. Everything burned to the ground, including the boats. People were jumping in the water to avoid the flames.

Problems look mighty small from 150 miles up.

Was just there a couple weeks ago and it's extremely surreal to realize all the stuff we saw and took pictures of no longer exists.

One thing we noticed and commented on while we were out there was how much everything on the west end of the island was wholly dependent on Honoapiilani Highway. There were constantly emergency vehicles hauling rear end along it to get out and back from central Maui, not to mention all the garbage trucks and other utility vehicles. Once the highway is cut everything north and west is pretty much on its own including a ton of giant tourist resorts up in Kaanapali and Napili. We didn't drive on the northern 340 back route but heard from the locals it was even more twisty and dangerous than Hana Highway. I can't imagine trying to run an emergency response or evacuation effort that route.

Someone I went to HS with lived in Lahaina. They had a house and a business there.

He said it was terrifying how fast it moved. A couple of people on Facebook said things like “Glad you guys are okay, the news made it sound horrible” and he responded by saying “There is just no way they could make it sound worse than it really was.”

Was all like "uh wat" until a motion came out. Supposedly the plea deal between DOJ and Hunter is dead - was trending that way when DOJ/Hunter couldn't agree what was actually IN the plea deal. Weiss is in charge of Delaware, and the poo poo went down in DC or California, so he needs Special Counsel status to charge outside his district or some poo poo. That venue weirdness was going to be waived by Hunter in the plea deal, so no plea deal, no waived venue dispute.

Naturally, to Republicans this is proof it was all corrupt, because it was already corrupt, which makes this more corrupt, because of penis envy.

Also, ignore all the "sweetheart deal" poo poo on the plea deal that the "judge blew up". The judge noted that the plea deal didn't actually make any sense - DOJ and Hunter couldn't agree if it took future charges off the table or not.

It was an NFL playoff game last year. He was using VPNs to circumvent court rules and tamper with poo poo and his excuse was he was doing it so he could use his bahamas gamepass to watch the nationally televised playoff games. The judge kindof scoffed at the excuse, but regardless of veracity the excuse admits violation of the court's orders. The felony tampering with a witness probable cause is much more severe and will probably result in additional criminal charges.

Apparently during some of this poo poo SBF leaked the applelady's diary to the New York Times too.

What a fuckin idiot. Normal people would decide that the games are over after getting arrested by Bahamian police. The threat of going back to American jail you'd think would be enough to get the gently caress on his best behavior.
