Supreme Court refuses legal lifesaver for former Trump chief of staff : NPR
I’m confused by one point however. The article says this:
Were Meadows to have been tried in federal court, the charges against him almost certainly would have been dismissed by the Trump Justice Department.
I would have thought that the same prosecutors would be involved, and the DOJ would have no role. It’s still a Georgia prosecution.
Thune won the race for Majority Leader and maga is less than pleased.
I don’t think Trump’s gonna get his recess appointments.
And Thune just killed Trump’s legislative agenda.
Trump thinks he’s so popular everywhere. Let’s hear some commentary from the floor of the Scottish Parliament to see how accurate that is. (The link goes to a YouTube Short.)
On last week’s BBC Question Time the panel member from the Conservative Party attempted to claim that Donald Trump was admired as a successful businessman admired in the UK because he had a golf resort in Scotland. The audience actually gasped and laughed at the audacity of that.
Giuliani’s lawyers are asking the court for permission to quit because he’s an idiot who won’t listen to them.
And likely can’t pay them, although that’s not a cited reason.
But if they didn’t know what kind of client Rudy was when they signed on, they really haven’t been paying attention for the last several years.
This is literally a headline the Onion would write. I wish they could use the site for something more substantive, but you go with what you know, I guess. Ms at least the Sandy Hook families know that they killed this particular troll.
Presumably they don’t need a court order because Jones no longer owns the business.
Also: this has cheered me up immensely.
It also proves that we are indeed living in interesting times.
Dearborn Residents Show Remorse After Trump Win: ‘He’s Playing Us’
In the wake of Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 election, residents of Dearborn, Michigan, are voicing their regret and frustration, with many expressing feelings of being misled.
Dearborn is home to one of the largest concentrations of Arab Americans in the nation, with nearly half of its 110,000 residents being of Arab descent. The city has traditionally been a Democratic stronghold, but this year that all changed.
They aren’t Trump supporters, but they are certainly enablers. They wanted to punish Democrats for not doing enough/anything for Gaza, so they voted for Trump (47% of the total vote) and Stein (22% of the total vote), to Harris’s 22% of the total vote.
“It’s clear as day that he’s playing us,” Alawieh added of Trump. “I think he’s going to target us. That’s what he’s going to do. He’s going to target our families, and it’s going to hurt. So, I think we’re about to find out.”
Gee, ya think? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
This ought to go in the Stupid MFers Pit thread, too.
Typo in my previous post.
Harris received 28% of the vote, not 22%.
And the Surprises coming for voters for the Leopards-Eating-Faces Party thread; only that it doesn’t sound like they voted for Trump, but against Harris.
I’m pretty sure that none of the 22% of voters who voted for Stein would ever consider voting for Trump. So 22% plus 28% = 50%. Harris would have won.
…and I’m starting to suspect that the guy I gave my bank information to isn’t a real Nigerian Prince!
Concerning the acquisition of Infowars by The Onion, The Guardian reports:
The purchase includes the acquisition of Jones’s company’s intellectual property, such as its website, customer lists, inventory and certain social media accounts, and the production equipment, according to CNN. The amount of the bid has not been disclosed.
As I wrote in the Sandy Hook famlies sue Alex Jones for diffamation thread: The Onion has a list with Alex Jones’ customers and it is legal. Imagine the possibilities. The glee is strong in me today.
What does it mean to be a customer of Alex Jones? I thought he was a podcaster?
They are also being snarky about it.
No price would be too high for such a cornucopia of malleable assets and minds. And yet, in a stroke of good fortune, a formidable special interest group has outwitted the hapless owner of InfoWars (a forgettable man with an already-forgotten name) and forced him to sell it at a steep bargain: less than one trillion dollars.
I guess it means they bought things from his website, like supplements to grow hair or whatever, vitamins with vaccine atenuating properties, the things Mr. Jones sells to his dupes. That list is worth its bits in gold: gulliblest clients you’ll ever find!
I’m pretty sure he also has premium subscribers, like every other podcast thingy, just a lot more of them than average.
Yes, but will anybody of them stay around after the Onion has taken over? Or will the Onion be so clever that they don’t notice the change? I wouldn’t rule that out, because they’re idiots and easily played.
