I mean, there’s a lot of motivation to not do anything with twitter but stay away from it

@oforgetaboutit

The Russian Embassy in Sweden, in a rude comment, confirmed the strike on the Swedish company SKF’s plant in Lutsk

So I am told.

That’s really not the point though, is it.

I told my wife this morning, I think his lil plan is to go on TV for this press conference, declare the whole thing a witch hunt, claim it’s because Jack Smith and all his mean judge friends have a boner for Trump, and everything’s fine, it’s all a sham.

He’ll think this completely absolves him, because he has come out and told ‘the truth’ and all, and he’ll waddle off back to Mar-a-lago, where the Deputies will be waiting for him.

Our household video consumption is pretty evenly balanced between broadcast and streaming.

Sarcasm, you should check it out.

Also, body text is descriptive or commentary, not editorializing; the title is the original title.

@CoffeeAddict

He’s facing consequences now. The conspiracy trial he was trying to have moved to January just got it’s schedule compressed down to ‘today’, the hearing got immediate billing, all witnesses were heard immediately and state organized crime charges leveled instanter.

This is, “having fucked around” he has now “found out”.

“Trial” is incorrect. In my excitement I conflated “trial” and “hearing”. That I got it wrong before coffe though, doesn’t change how fucked this guy is.

Edited accordingly.

Addendum:
There are warrants out for him and 18 accomplices. They have 3 days grace to turn themselves in. Anyone who doesn’t turn themselves in by then will be subject to arrest.

They gave him enough time with socmed to finish hanging himself.

It’s what Trolls do in order to misdirect the energy in a discussion. Don’t feed 'em.

Bit dense, are ya…

WOOPS, it’s witness tampering in the state trial, not the federal one. Prior comment still applies.

This should be the one that gets him jailed. My guess is, it’ll be a significant fine; but any of us would be in jail already.

@explodingkitchen

My gut reaction when I first heard this story break was simply ‘Giuliani’.

You are saying something I’ve been saying for years. In fact, it was my parent’s generation who I saw anticipating armaggeddon, and they expected it in the year 2000. It’s what the lyrics of ‘Party Like It’s 1999’ are all about.

I get the idea that when it didn’t happen that way, it surprised a lot of them, and eventually pissed off a bunch of them. They felt like they’d been cheated out of the second coming, or something.

While my parents are passed now, and didn’t really share the perspective anyway, I think there are still a bunch of these grizzled old assholes around, ready to see it all burn before they croak, just so they can be around when it happened.

@kelvin0mql

It’s possible to draw parallels like that everywhere all over the bible; and it’s not because of ‘omg prophesy’

@kelvin0mql

As my dad used to say, “You can’t live with a grizzly bear. One of you will have to go.”

@kelvin0mql

Lets be clear - I am not making any kind of defense of this guy; I am eviscerating the GOP for creating and sustaining an environment that keeps that guy squarely where they want him, and operate that firehose of falsehood that suck new people into the rotten fold on an ongoing basis.

@kelvin0mql

I do not question any of that. My point is, the republican party has been stirring this pot a long time, and as long as the money keeps pouring, they cant be arsed, as the brits say.

It’s got to be stopped at the source. We’re already at the point that guys are like this everywhere. One stands in the foyer of the Kroger just about every afternoon 3 blocks from my house.

Wearing a ball cap with a thin blue line flag, armed to the teeth, in a flag-wrapped t-shirt, glaring at anyone who walks by with a smile their face.

His body language, the sidearm he’s wearing, his clothes - it all screams that if you’re aren’t mad as hell and not going to take it anymore, you must be a fuckin’ democrat.

That is a feature of the republican party. If it isn’t addressed soon, some sort of war will be the only way it gets addressed.

There are a lot of people who would like you to think that disinformation is harmless; that if you buy into bullshit that it’s your own fault; and that the ‘people that matter’ know the truth.

This man bought into the fire hose of shit that is continuously, endlessly spewing a mixture of exaggerations, half truths and outright lies. He took it all very seriously, and he paid with his life.

Ask yourself, do you think this man was one of the ‘people who matter’ to his family? It sounds like some of them agree with, and listened to him and the fire hose.

This is a fucking tragedy. This man is a casualty of the fight for democracy, and it is a damn fight when people are getting shot for it. Not because he bought into some bullshit; but because he was fed a line of shit by people he trusted. His political party.

This has got to stop, and I think that it surely will.

Let’s hope it doesn’t have to be at the expense of another man’s life.

Another husband, father, grandfather, uncle or brother. Or worse, whole families.
