The trial’s been going on all drat day and all people are reporting on is a few weird rear end opinions by the judge? What the gently caress

Like I am fairly sure the content of the witness testimony today wasn’t just a single tweet length comment about how he buys his suits

This is also the same judge that pressed the prosecution hard on why Manafort ought to be in jail pre-trial and had everybody wondering if he was a Trump plant. Seems like he’s just trying to make sure the prosecution’s argument is iron tight.

Isn't it, uh, a little late for that now? I would have thought the time to flip would be prior to actually being on trial with charges filed and everything.

The context since those initial tweets about it has shown that the judge was mostly just pressing the prosecution to make their point about how the transactions were made.

Apparently a big part of why we get "Florida Man" stories is they require much more detail about local crimes to be reported/released than some other states. So there's probably people doing bugfuck weird things all over, but in Florida, they publish that stuff with a quickness and in greater detail.

I don't think this is actually true and I'll back that up with having been to Florida numerous times and witnessing its denizens in the wild.

Trump only has 88% support from Republican voters which might as well mean 100% because the remainder are definitely pulling the lever for him in 2020

CSPAM Trump thread doesn’t have any detailed discussion but that’s a fair sight better than the main forum thread that violently dives up its own rear end about which word of the day is banned or what pizza topping exemplifies white privilege.

Or, at least, when they do the thread moves fast enough it’s over with quickly.

I’ve been seeing a lot of my conservative colleagues posting about this liberal couple that went biking through ‘ISIS’ territory to prove ‘evil doesn’t exist.’
I haven’t found anything to fully back up those claims but the couple seems to be pretty hippy dippy and did get murdered in Central Asia.

Reminder that while Brennan's security clearance revocation is petty poo poo, he did some hosed up poo poo, including overseeing spying on Senators, denying it, then when caught, blaming "systemic problems."

His clearance being revoked in this manner is still dumb. But he's not exactly one to be lionized.

I don’t actually need to be reminded about what a shitbag the guy is if the actual issue is the President revoking clearances of people he doesn’t like. I haven’t seen anyone try to lionize Brennan.

I've always wondered what happens if a guy applies to be a waiter at hooters, can they discriminate based on gender?

Yes, iirc it's because of some loophole where they get to claim that their waitresses are "performers"
