I’m sorta sorry I posted this story, given the sideways discussion that has ensued.
Look, the kid’s gonna walk with less than a slap on the wrist. The community already is up in arms over the light sentence. Trump or the OK governor isn’t gonna do a damn thing regarding this case; a pardon wouldn’t help the kid any more than the court has already helped him. And a pardon would only cause more uproar.
Like Irishman said, plenty of other evil MFers to talk about. Save your breath for those assholes.
More than 10,000 people were killed in Sarajevo by constant shelling and sniper fire between 1992 and 1996 in what was the longest siege in modern history, after Bosnia and Herzegovina declared independence from Yugoslavia.
The snipers were perhaps the most feared element of life under siege in Sarajevo because they would pick off people on the streets, including children, at random, as if it was a video game or a safari.
Groups of Italians and other nationalities, so-called “sniper tourists”, are alleged to have participated in the massacre after paying large sums of money to soldiers belonging to the army of Radovan Karadžić, the former Bosnian Serb leader who in 2016 was found guilty of genocide and other crimes against humanity, to be transported to the hills surrounding Sarajevo so that they could shoot at the population for pleasure.
Not quite sure what to make of this, but the week before he was arrested, Jeffrey Epstein sent an email to himself consisting of a list of names with the subject line “list for bannon steve”.
Interesting mix of names. We’ve got known clients of his (the Andrew Formerly Known As Prince), friends and associates (Clinton, Bill Richardson, Sergey Brin), media contacts (Sulzberger, Laurence Krauss, Jamal Khashoggi(!)), the string “Pope queen pres king pm”, and some wildcards (Keith Rainieri of the NXIVM cult? Castro? CHUCK SCHUMER?)
It’d be interesting to know what he expected Bannon to do with those names.
Well he did write “barrack barak” (no comma) so who knows who he really meant, either or both or someone else. And obviously there are multiple “mandelsons” or he forgot he had mentioned him.
He was probably using the e-mail to self to write it all down before the cocaine wore off.
Matt Gaetz’s scriptwriter and producer at OANN (yes, Matt Gaetz has a show at OANN) decided it would be a good idea to post to Twitter a cartoon of himself discovering a “scheming room” decorated with Magen Davids, in which Jews depicted as anthropomorphic cockroaches skitter away when exposed to light.
You’ll be glad to know that Gaetz is one of the Republicans who has opposed aid to Israel and who has criticized the war in Gaza. So he’s consistent in his antisemitism.
What’s crazy is that antisemitism is also the cause for a lot of the support for Israel. See, according to some popular Bible fanfiction, Israel is supposed to be nuked into oblivion in Armageddon, and so it has to be kept in existence until then so it can die properly to fulfill the prophecies.
Right, which is why Rapture Christians believe the Third Temple has to be built in order for Jesus to come back, and do things like try to breed blemishless red heifers for sacrifice in the hypothetical future temple.
A blast from the past. Comparison of Jews to cockroaches and other vermin was common in Nazi Germany. Hutu media used cockroach imagery against Tutsis during the Rwandan genocide. And more recently Katie Hopkins described migrants as cockroaches in a column in The Sun.
But apparently that kind of language is OK if you’re feeling overwrought about something.
