The DOJ task force which was organized to investigate threats against election workers has arrested the first person. A guy from Texas who was encouraging people to murder election workers in Georgia.

He posted all that stuff in an ad on Craigslist? Under his own name (offering a reward)? Yes, definitely a stupid MFer. I’m glad there is such a task force, even if it only lasts as long as Democrats control the DOJ, and even if other less stupid threats continue to exist. ---

Two passengers on a United flight from Newark to Tel Aviv decided that they would prefer to sit in business class instead of the seats they paid for, then, according to the report, “rioted” when told they had to return to their original seats. The flight had to be turned around and landed in Newark and then canceled. > **[United Flight Turns Around After Passengers Opt to Self-Upgrade Their Seats](https://www.insidehook.com/daily_brief/travel/united-flight-turns-diverts-passengers-self-upgrade)** > > Can people just be normal on airplanes again ffs ---

123 passengers on this flight, who had to re-arrange plans, and fly the next day. I suggest that instead of a fine, the unruly passengers be stripped to the waist, and each of the other 123 folks be given a nice stout stick. The idiots must then slowly walk down the line and each passenger gets to whack them as hard as they can. I bet they would not make it past passenger #25. ---

Glad to see John Stockton popping up in multiple threads. Noting his CT stupidity belongs in many threads. And since he is worried about his image (from the interview), I hope one of these threads works its way up Google’s search algorithm. Different Stupid MFers: This weekend I listened to a recent This American Life: _Talking While Black_ It is depressing to hear what is happening from the racist right, who also all happen to be snowflakes that want to ban children’s books because they are teaching CRT (not!) and making their precious white kids feel bad.
