Not to sound negative, but they’re going to cheat more. There was a guy that said he’s being turned away to vote in Texas even though he’s a US citizen.

Yes, and trump and his minions are nazis. You’re saying what I’m saying, that the people in power are shitty.

He looked truly terrible a few weeks ago. He seems to be recovering. How are the worst people so long lasting?

Surely Jews weren’t always like this, right?

Surely all Christians aren’t pedophiles, right? /s

Dude, you’re not helping. There are currently Israeli’s in power that are shitty, just like when hitler was in power, Germany did. Every single country has shitty people in their past, and sometimes in the current time.

Hegseth is still there.

Trump is so much worse than Hegseth, now what?

Welcome to Lemmy, Ken M. You’ve been missed.

This is them going all in on the Cartman defense. Notice there isn’t a peep about Hegseth ordering to kill everyone? They’re still blaming the admiral completely, lol. I hope the other admirals and generals know they will be thrown under the bus as well.

Speaking of:

The DOJ has until Dec. 19, 30 days after Trump signed the bill, to release the files.

But that is the latest; it is possible for them to be released sooner.

I posted this in another comment, but I really want to know if the redacted names are clients or victims.

This is from the Oversight Committee’s official page:

She yelled no such thing. From the article about it in the Miami Herald, she wouldn’t recognize the ICE agents as legit.

As a representative of the Trump administration, he technically qualifies as a Special Government Employee — a designation that requires specific legal guidelines.

However, “Trump has not named Kushner an SGE,” noted Legum, even though a 1977 Department of Justice opinion suggests that performing governmental functions under presidential direction can constitute an official capacity.

“Here, Kushner is engaged in activities that can only be conducted by government officials,” wrote Legum.

This is getting weirder. Did they realize they were being shitty on camera?:

“I’m a U.S. citizen, please help me,” she shouted after agents forced her to the ground. “This is unfair. Why are you doing this to me?”

Agents then placed her in a patrol vehicle. She was released a short time later.

“She refused to cooperate and identify herself with all levels of law enforcement there,” said agency spokesman Alan Regalado, noting Monroe County Sheriff’s Office deputies were there. A Herald reporter saw deputies moving drivers along who were slowing down to watch the stop.

After agents removed the woman from her car, they found her driver’s license in the vehicle, ran it through their system and confirmed she is a U.S. citizen, Regalado said.

Edit: So basically, she wouldn’t show them her gold star. WTF country are we fucking living in.

Wolff discussed something that I had never heard before: that Steve Bannon, basically right up to the time Epstein died, was working with him on a combo rebrand/crisis comms effort to rehabilitate Epstein’s reputation. Yes! Bannon was working as Epstein’s image rehab specialist. The man at the center of all the anti-“elite”, anti-“globalist” pedophiles was tight with Epstein and trying to help him come in from the sex offender cold. He’d actually done hours of video interviews with Epstein as prep for either a 60 Minutes or 60 Minutes-style interview to revive his reputation.

Stuff like this is a reminder that what I’m describing here is mostly a media story. It’s no huge surprise that Bannon is an utter sleazebag or someone with a high tolerance for sexual predators. I confess to being perversely wowed by the brazen shamelessness of the switcheroo. But that’s another story. What’s kind of mystifying is how little Bannon or his Epstein image rehab doc project has gotten in the furor over the Epstein emails. It’s not that it’s gone unnoticed. The presence of Bannon-Epstein emails got at least a mention in many reports. But not the sheer volume or really the substance. Indeed, the press reports I was able to find about the image rehab doc tend to be in the entertainment press, like this one in The Hollywood Reporter. There’s much less in the political press.

Did anyone follow up with this?

I’m confused, what? (like that I’m just so used to mean big internet??? or something else?)

Reddit keeps everyone engaged with hate and drama. They have bots that go after people to troll. Of course, there are the real trolls as well. So far, we’re a little lighter than that.

How are you liking it here?

LMAO, this is so Cartman of him to do.

“So Secretary Hegseth has just posted something that I wanted to ask you about,” said Burnett. “He said: ‘Let’s make one thing crystal clear: Admiral Mitch Bradley is an American hero, a true professional, and has my 100% support. I stand by him and the combat decisions he has made — on the September 2 mission and all others since. America is fortunate to have such men protecting us. When this @DeptofWar says we have the back of our warriors — we mean it.’”

They are losing deep red counties, ones that have been republican since the civil war. This might not work for them.
