Not sure what you can really add to a perfect headline, as "Gettr done" jokes are having only a marginally longer life than Gettr will.

Hilariously, this might be a honeypot for a Chinese investment firm, and Trump isn't joining it.

Shatner was also a colossal rear end in a top hat under all that charm, like his entire life. I'm shocked most of his ex-cast members ever stayed friendly with him. Probably the only reason was for the convention cash (and that wasn't enough for James Doohan, who loving hated him).

Jealous. Alabama is dragging its feet on implementing its very restricted medical pot law. I'd put money that the legislature really just wants Biden to legalize it and take all the heat off them.

Hell, they're straight up stealing kids from out of staters with valid medical marijuana.

Yep. Upon reading the details, I don't really have a problem with this. Served 3.5 years of a 25 year sentence in a mental health facility, will be monitored until she's 37 and the sentence runs out. I'm sure if the victim was in my family I'd be mad, but this makes sense.

Just the one; I don't think it's a deal so much as she met certain treatment milestones for conditional release. The other got 65 years.

KABUL, July 2 (Reuters) - American troops pulled out of their main military base in Afghanistan on Friday, a U.S. defence official said, under an agreement with the Taliban allowing for the withdrawal of all U.S. forces from the country after a two-decade war.

"All American soldiers and members of NATO forces have left the Bagram air base," said the senior U.S. security official on condition of anonymity.

The U.S. military has coordinated its air war and logistical support for the war from the Bagram air base, about 60 km (40 miles) north of Kabul, and the withdrawal of the forces symbolises the end of the U.S.-led mission in Afghanistan.

The base is being handed over to the Afghan government as its armed forces face a surging war with the Taliban and questions swirl about their prospects.

An Afghan official said the base would be officially handed over to the government at a ceremony on Saturday.

The U.S. defence official said General Austin Miller, the top U.S.commander in Afghanistan "still retains all the capabilities and authorities to protect the force" that are stationed in the capital, Kabul.

Two other U.S. security officials said this week the majority of U.S. military personnel would most likely be gone by July 4, with a residual force remaining to protect the embassy.

Last month, U.S. President Joe Biden told his Afghan counterpart, Ashraf Ghani, that "Afghans are going to have to decide their future, what they want".

Ghani said his job was now to "manage the consequences" of the U.S. withdrawal.

The agreement with the Taliban on the U.S. pull-out was struck under the administration of President Donald Trump.

In exchange for the U.S. withdrawal, the Taliban have vowed to prevent any international terrorism from Afghan soil and they also made a commitment to enter into talks with their Afghan rivals but little progress has been made in negotiations.

Eh, I’m careful with celebrity stories I worked for Shatner directly on and off for about 5 years and I was just a below the line grunt and Bill was nothing but nice and professional to myself and the rest of the crew. This was 20 years ago so he may have mellowed out since the original show but… I never had issues with him.
