Imagine being a lawyer and trying to mount a defense while your client goes on multiple media outlets to confess their crimes.

This is why Trump hires local strip mall "¡Se habla español!" personal injury attorneys to represent him in giant rear end cases like this, because they'll do what he tells them, not the other way around. Meanwhile he runs around shouting poo poo like "I ordered them all to hang Mike Pence!" and "I told Brad Rafensburger if he didn't just say I won the election, I'd personally put a bomb in his car and blow him up like that scene from The Dark Knight" and they can't do poo poo to stop him.

Yeah, lawyers can do that; like if their dumbass guilty-as-hell clients insist on putting up a "all the witnesses are lying" defense that the lawyer doesn't agree to and knows is false; or if they're going to go up and lie on the stand. The lawyer basically can tell the judge "look. I am not going to solicit false testimony here, but this guy is about to go up and lie their rear end off and I can't stop him"

Always remember, now matter how much any news-twerp says they hate the chump and disapprove of everything that he did, they enjoyed reading five tweets he made on the toilet at 3 a.m. and making those an entire 24 hour news cycle, to the exclusion of anything else. They still read the fake tweets from his fakey fake social media platform made just for him. I don't think a week goes by that they don't show the Jan. 6 quote where he says "to the CAA-AAPITAL" like he's Jerry Lewis. Lahaina burned to the ground and god knows how many people died, with hours of online videos of burning buildings and people fleeing into a choppy ocean to survive, and they still devoted more screen time to a static shot of the Atlanta jail he was in for about twenty minutes. They love him and would welcome a full return even if it ended in a full-scale nuclear war and societal collapse. The media will absolutely worship his every fart and promote any excuse for him.

Biden, they hate. He doesn't write their copy for them. He doesn't barf out unvetted social media posts for them to obsess over. He certainly doesn't phone them up pretending to be somebody else and poo poo out an entire byline they can copy. Any time Biden has been involved in a major news item, they've had to do actual work to cover it and it drives them crazy. Five days after Lahaina burned, CNN's shithead chief White House correspondent demanded to know when Biden would make a statement about it, and the press secretary had to tell him Biden had included remarks about the fire in speeches made all five days. He was just too lazy to check.

Biden does take longer to warm up when he talks, the first few minutes of any speech will be rough, but then he relaxes and sounds fine. If something major like a state of the union address is coming, the idiots will spend three days wondering if Biden will drool through the thing and then a couple of hours afterward wondering how he sounded so coherent. Plan on hearing any this line a lot in the next few months, it will go unchallenged through the Republican primaries and most of the conventions. They'll still try to call him incoherent even when he'll be making routine speeches during September and October. The media will absolutely undermine Biden if they can. Remember that when you read any news item, especially the polls.

Edit: Ulcers are caused by bacteria, a guy won a Nobel by giving himself one and curing it with antibiotics. They're easily curable now.

It's why US cattle are loaded with antibiotics. They're fed hi-calorie food / other cattle their systems are no designed to consume, and they develop ulcers.

YouTube prankster jailed for shooting boyfriend dead

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-43410816

A US woman has been sentenced to six months' imprisonment for shooting dead her boyfriend in a botched stunt they hoped would go viral on YouTube.

Monalisa Perez, now 20, was asked by Pedro Ruiz, 22, to fire a gun from a foot (30cm) away, believing a thick book he held in front of his chest would shield him.

The bullet pierced the 1.5in book, fatally wounding Ruiz last June.

Perez, a mother of two, later pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter.

And there was little indication of how far they were prepared to go in order to become online celebrities until the fatal stunt on 26 June 2017.



On that day Perez fired a powerful Desert Eagle handgun from close range, as Ruiz held an encyclopaedia in front of his chest.

He had experimented previously and thought the thick book would protect him, but the couple's three-year-old child and nearly 30 onlookers watched as she fired a fatal bullet.

Perez called 911 to report she had accidentally shot her boyfriend.

Ruiz was pronounced dead at the scene at their home.

Perez was pregnant with their second child at the time of the shooting.

wow out of 30+ people no one was like "hey don't do that"

Black Gold!

A local old timer AM radio station has had the same programming for 25 years and actually really owned to fall asleep listening to. They played everything from the ‘40s to the ‘90s, with an emphasis on ‘40s and ‘50s standards and ‘60s and ‘70s oldies. Lots of different music and minimal commercials; it was a nice break from the garbage-rear end radio landscape.

I hadn’t listened to them in a minute, and I noticed the app I had for it changed on my phone. I looked closer and it changed to FREEDOM 1400, THE PATRIOT’S VOICE. Fuckin’ Cumulus flipped it to conservative talk radio three weeks ago.

Dunno whether to :lol: or :smith:

Dude’s got his hand poking out of the casket while the grim reaper tries to nail it shut, and Feinstein barely has a fingernail hanging out at this point. The gerontocracy lives on despite nature’s best attempts.

The local radio stations that my parents had listened to while I was growing up changed from news and oldies to right wing news, talk radio and occasional music. I hadn't realized how bad it was until one I was up visiting my parents, and they had a local station on, and it went from local news at 9, then some music, then from 10am to 1pm, all rightwing media people. Usually they'd change the channel then, but sometimes it would just run. I had noticed my parents being more intune with RW stuff over the years, but hadn't connected the dots. Then when they both retired and wintered out of town, they started moving back to normal.
All it took was not having that poo poo playing all day and it helped. Thankfully they never watched Fox.

Any species advanced enough to travel through space must have some high degree of socialisation. If we look at social species on Earth most don't greet each other in the same way humans do though. For example dogs focus on inspecting each other's butts.

So when we meet aliens, it's not inconceivable that as we move towards them with hands outstretched, they come towards us with asses presented wide in an interstellar Goatse'ing.
