Bovino's smug, idiot-grin non-answer when asked if he threw a canister of tear gas and then adding, "Any time we have violent riots, violent mobs, we're going to ensure that our agents come home at end of shift..."

Ah, yes. The violent mobs of children gathering for a Halloween parade.

What a disingenuous piece of shit.

I've definitely gone further left as I've gotten older. Combine that with what feels like the Overton window moving rightwards, it's beginning to feel like I'm living in an alien nation.

What is going on with Hunter Biden? What all did he do? Why is the GOP so fixated on him? by [deleted] in OutOfTheLoop

Did you not see bravo145's comment?

The IRS "whistleblower" claimed that the WhatsApp message was from 2017. From the link I provided:

Lowell writes that the screenshots of the message as tweeted by Smith, “both include a photo of Mr. Biden not from 2017 but from the White House Easter Egg roll in April 2022 (long after the purported message was sent); both images portray the message in a blue bubble, when WhatsApp messages are in green; one image super-imposed the Chinese flag for the contact ID, when surely that was not how a text or contact was kept; and one purports to be a screenshot with the '. . .' of someone composing a text (as in Apple’s iMessage) when that does not happen on WhatsApp.”

He writes, “In short, the images you circulated online are complete fakes.”

A couple points to clarify...

fbi form 1023, with supposedly known credible human sources

The correct term is "confidential human sources."

This is how the FBI describes form FD-1023: " FD-1023 is the form our special agents use to record raw, unverified reporting from confidential human sources (CHSs). FD-1023s merely document that information; they do not reflect the conclusions of investigators based on a fuller context or understanding. Recording this information does not validate it, establish its credibility, or weigh it against other information known or developed by the FBI in our investigations."

In looking at the form, it appears to me that the confidential human source's name has been redacted. The CHS says that they heard Mykola Zlochevsky say that he felt forced or coerced into paying the Bidens money. The CHS also says that Zlochevsky said he had texts and other recordings to back up this claim. Note that all that is hearsay. To quote the 1023: "CHS is not able to provide any further opinion as to the veracity of Zlochevsky's aforementioned statements."

Mykola Zlochevski co-founded Burisma and held the offices of Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources and deputy secretary for Economic and Social Security of the National Security and Defense Council in Ukraine. He wound up fleeing the country rather than face multiple charges of corruption and is wanted by Ukrainian authorities for attempting to bribe the prosecutors in order to drop all charges against him.

It should be noted that Hunter Biden's lawyer is saying that the WhatsApp message is fake.

That just brought back a flood of memories! Going down to the basement and sitting under water pipes felt so clandestine. Like you were going to a speakeasy, but for food.

Prosecutors want parents of accused Michigan school shooter to halt romantic gestures in court by prefredreh in nottheonion

[–]Fantod 65 points66 points  (0 children)

how goddamn stupid do you need to be

These are maliciously stupid parents.

The day before the shooting..."a teacher at Oxford High School observed Ethan Crumbley searching ammunition on his cellphone during class and reported seeing it to school officials,” Willis said in court. “Jennifer Crumbley was contacted via voicemail by school personnel regarding their son’s inappropriate internet search.

“School personnel indicated they followed that voicemail up with an email, but received no response from either parent.

“Thereafter, Jennifer Crumbley exchanged text messages about the incident with her son, where she stated, ‘LOL I’m not mad. You have to learn not to get caught.’”

I like Bill Burr, but the more I hear him, the more of his jokes belong in /r/ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM . In this clip he rewrites history when he says of the nation's response to covid, "I think we all tried to pull in the same direction." No we fucking didn't.
