Being convicted of seditious conspiracy has to be the ultimate example of fuck around and find out.

Was just reading they will stay behind bars while waiting to be sentenced. Several charges carry 20 year max sentences. I hope they make an example of them. 4 years or some BS like that would be a mockery.

So am I understanding correctly that microchips for the brain are only bad if they are made by anyone but Elon Musk? They forgot that caveat when they were making up stories about Bill Gates.

He reminds me a bit of when Dennis Rodman went over the edge - except, that was mostly harmless (although I do recall, beyond the tattoos, cross-dressing, etc., he did actually wade into politics a bit with that North Korea thing).

Looks like the house judiciary committee finally took down its "Kanye. Elon. Trump" tweet from a couple of months ago. Good job YE!

The Republican congress people that are speaking out against McCarthy as speaker have a "secret" candidate fir the job they are not pitting forward yet. It is going to be Trump, almost certainly.

Trump also lost today at the DOJ "secret" Grand Jury created to look at Jan 6. He had tried to assert that lawyers Cippolini and Philbin had executive privledge and could not testify on what Trump said in the days leading up to Jan 6 and on that day. Judge smacked that down and ordered them to testify before the Grand Jury.

Ironically, Musk suspending Ye's account is probably just more proof to the anti-semites that Jews control everything. He preaches free speech, but as soon as someone says something negative about Jews, he goes back on his principles because he's forced to!

Not sure if this belongs here or the Social Media thread, but a bunch of people are reporting that their accounts unfollowed @holocaustmuseum on Twitter at some point without their knowledge.

Don't know if you were watching the ceremony for the Capitol Police and other law enforcement for their efforts on Jan 6, but pretty good response at the end.
McConnell and McCarthy for some reason were asked to give a speech there, and then be part of a procession shaking hands, and giving out awards. Almost everyone of the Capitol Police totally ignored them both.

At least Kevin had the sense to not even extended a hand, while Mitch got left hanging. I thought Mitch was way better at reading a room.

I've got a 14 year old. It's a vulnerable age.
Her dad's an asshole, but people need to leave her alone and out of the news. There's nothing newsworthy about this. I hope she gets the help she needs. |

Ehh.... She came out as bi and stated she disagrees with her Dad on everything. Seems like a pretty good example of how the rights views, especially recent ones, and attacks on the LGBTQ community has real world effects on kids. I'm not saying anything we all don't know, but suicide rates for these kids are through the roof, largely because they don't get the support they need from the family. I realize I am making assumptions, but she seems to be proof of this. I hope she gets the help needed and doesn't become a political pawn. |

She's already a political pawn, she's the daughter of Ted "Shitbag" Cruz. The right would jibe and poke fun if this was a Democrat family. But the right will claim victimization and woke-hood and state this is why females should be silent and obedient church-going, kitchen baking baby making subjects and when they aren't, it's leftism. She'll be quietly ostracized by her family for making daddy look bad and years later she'll be a footnote as the black sheep. She may get help but the reality is she's the daughter of Ted Cruz, that stain never goes away.

I can't speak much to right wing boards, but I asked two of my coworkers about this and I don't think they had any reason to lie to me in their responses. This was back when we used to go into the office and do things like go out to lunch. These are guys I get along with on a lot of stuff and, while I'd be hesitant to call any coworkers "friends", per se - they're two that I share a lot of interests with, even if politically, we're quite different. One was talking about how his daughter or maybe granddaughter thought she might be gay or bi and they started talking about that disparagingly. I asked them a couple of questions to expand on their thoughts and got what I thought were 2 different viewpoints. But I also tried to be non-confrontational and non-judgemental in talking with them as I wanted to get as unvarnished an opinion as I could, but I still lightly challenged some of what they said. Here's some of the commonalities and some of the differences that I remembered:

Very very cautiously optimistic here, but several court observers who I trust have been listening to the oral arguments in Moore v. Harper, and they think that there are not five votes for the Independent State Legislature theory.
That would be great news. Every single legal theory behind Trump's attempted coup required some version of that theory. Getting rid of it would take a big arrow out of the insurrectionist quiver. |

I don't post on right wing boards or anything but I do browse on occasion to see some of their unfiltered viewpoints. The stuff you got from coworkers is in line with what I read. Fad is something I see a lot of when discussing LBGTQ issues in teens. There also seems to be a belief that any gay male is a sex offender or certain to be a future sex offender which is why they refer to gay teachers as groomers. |
