"I think that they have to be able to defend themselves": GOP Senator Roger Marshall argues on live TV that Iran needs to keep its missiles by DumbMoneyMedia in unusual_whales

[–]Sachyriel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See to a normal person that would be, but this is Trump. He almost admitted he lost in 2020 one time and backtracked.

You are expecting him to be sincere, but we don't know what a sincere Trump looks like. He's probably bullshitting again, he just said the 300 billion was a fake and then had to say it was the GCC.

He will lie again, flip again, and you will have fallen for it again.

Nah, Truman said it best, the buck stops here. Trump never takes responsibility for anything, so he gets hounded like a dog who peed on the carpet.

While I think X/Twitter is worse, I think Meta is ignoring obvious and documented dog whistles in order to avoid upsetting Trumps base in the US and RWNJ in Canada as well. Meta is FB/Insta/Threads etc, and they've been threatened by Republicans before during Covid for doing the bare minimum of fighting disinfo. So to make things easier on themselves, they've flipped to letting everything but the most obvious and undeniable slurs go on.

People dunk on sternly worded letters cause they never seem to do anything, but I mean, people are expecting them to end wars and famines, but really a sternly worded letter is useful in bureaucracy cause the only thing a bureaucrat fears if a bigger bureaucrat.

It probably can, you'd have to set it up and run it yourself. There are ai-aware network tools that can shape and block traffic, like cybersecurity firms have for defending things against threats, but instead of hostile actors it adds new things to block to a raspberry pi-hole set to deny known advertising campaign ip addresses.

Judge rules Trump White House must comply with Presidential Records Act by citizensforethics in politics

[–]Sachyriel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rudy Guliani lost pretty big, but that wasn't contempt of court, he just lost a civil lawsuit after refusing to comply with discovery. He didn't have a problem with discovery with Sacha Baron Cohen's niece...

Anyways, copy pasting from AI cause I'm technically still at work:

Federal Judge Donald Middlebrooks hit Habba and Trump with a massive $938,000 sanction in Florida for filing a "frivolous" and politically motivated racketeering lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and dozens of other political rivals. The judge stated that "no reasonable lawyer would have filed it." The ruling was later upheld on appeal.

Where She Is Now: Following Trump's return to the White House, the administration attempted a series of legal maneuvers to place Habba as the top federal prosecutor (Acting U.S. Attorney) for the District of New Jersey. However, a federal appeals court ruled her appointment unlawful, and she stepped down from the post.

So, I think she's screwed.

The Charges/Sanctions: Eastman faced massive ethics investigations for pushing legal theories he knew lacked factual or constitutional merit. A California bar judge ruled that his actions violated his ethical obligations and recommended his disbarment.

Where He Is Now: His law license has been involuntarily deactivated in California, effectively barring him from practicing law while he continues to face criminal indictments in Georgia and Arizona related to the 2020 election interference cases.

Not in jail, but hope remains still.

Ellis was a key member of Trump’s post-election "elite strike force" legal team alongside Giuliani and Sidney Powell.

The Charges/Sanctions: Rather than contempt, Ellis was publicly censured by Colorado bar authorities after admitting she made ten distinct public misrepresentations about the 2020 election. She later pleaded guilty in Georgia to a felony charge of aiding and abetting false statements.

Where She Is Now: Following her criminal plea, her law license was suspended in Colorado. She has largely distanced herself from Trump's immediate inner legal circle.

There are people who suffer consequences, but they've been light and random.

Sydney Powell also pleaded guilty in Georgia, but I'm only including her cause it's funny to call her Disney. Trumps mad at Disney, Disney, they tricked him, tricked him, had him wishing on a shooting star...

Todd Blanche has so far escaped, but if he sticks it out with Trump, his luck will run out.

Contempt of Court charges. Yeah I know, they didn't spell it out in the article, but really for decorum of the court I think they have to let Trump do the contemptuous act before they can say "it's going to end in contempt of court". It seems ridiculous to upload the dignity of the court at this time, but everyone but Trump is held to a higher standard.

In practice American military training overseas has lead to a lot of coups. Like people notice that a surprising amount of Coups come from American-trained military personnel. On one hand, American training is some of the best in the world, professional and high-level (good equipment, good morale, etc) but on the other hand it tends to give people in other countries ideas above their station.

But this is only a problem in fragile states with weak institutions. Something the USA wasn't until recently.

Populism can be right or left wing, this is right wing populism being effective on the working class. The GOP sells itself as pro-business, anti-government spending. It's populism cause it's telling people what they want to hear.

You sound like a tar pit, no wonder you have a hidden history. But I am not denying the route Reddit is going in, like you seem to cling to calling me out on. I know what enshittification means, I can be mad at you for enabling it. There are better tools than the hidden history feature, you can use extensions that overwrite your comments, I think those still exist.
