American Politics from 2019 on

As Assange showed, the Democrats choose what Democrat Party voters get behind closed doors, and fairness be damned!

But THIS time it's gonna be different, because after they got caught, nothing changed except Assange's life.

Aye. The partisan party bullshit aside Assange, Snowden, and Manning exposed for all to see what we kind of knew already - that Power works in its own interests above all considerations, and everyone else is just their political, economic, and literal cannon fodder.

Tucker just met with him in Jail, or so went the rumours...but I didn't see an interview.

It's almost like both sides find him untouchable or something.

A bit more coming, but this brief touches on a current Assange-related case.

I usually post

Followed by a link. Ratz isn't the easiest to work on a phone. Youtube tags are impossible.

I can do a lot with a thumb but...

[ yt].......[ /yt] (without the spaces).

The bit between the tags is the video id (it comes after the = character in the url.

It gives a different URL for the video on the phone than on the laptop.

There's two url formats with youtube. In both of them the video id is there. Either after the '=', or the last slash.

The United States House Committee on Ethics says it has amassed "overwhelming evidence" of law-breaking by the Republican representative for New York George Santos.

The panel said it has referred its findings to the Justice Department, concluding flatly that Mr Santos "cannot be trusted" after a months-long investigation into his conduct.

The inquiry report released on Thursday found that Mr Santos had allegedly used campaign funds for personal expenses like high-end retail shopping, botox and on OnlyFans, an adult content website.

[L'Emmerdeur]

Too blatantly crooked. Just keep it discreet, like pretty much all the rest of them do. Santos thinks it's outrageous that he's being brought up short like this, and is calling for the US Constitution to be re-written.

'"Rise up!" George Santos demands overhaul of constitution amid devastating ethics report'

[Brian Peacock]

I mean, he's got a point. The constitution does nothing to protect the honest grifter.

They finally got a insurrector.

Only they didn't charge or convict this BLM activist of insurrecting. Got him on some more provable charges.

Sullivan shot one of the most infamous videos of Jan. 6, showing the shooting death of Ashli Babbitt, and sold the rights to several media outlets, including NBC News.

“I was only observing,” Sullivan said in his trial testimony. “I followed the crowd. I’m there to document.”

But the government said that shooting video was just a “ploy” for Sullivan, and played video after video of him urging on the mob on Jan. 6.

“I’m gonna side with anyone who is ready to rip this s--- down,” Sullivan said in one quote cited by prosecutors. “I brought my megaphone to instigate s---,” he said in another video, adding that he wanted to “make those Trump supporters f--- s--- up.”

So you're saying that they don't have to be charged with insurrection to be guilty of insurrection.

I see. Very interesting.

[Cunt]

No, I'm reminding that the courts don't say 'insurrection', and that word is being fed to the public from other sources.

The actual charges have real names that don't reflect the media description of things.

Where did you get the idea that there were insurrectionists (while still seeing so few charges of insurrection prosecuted)?

Let me ask you a question.

Let's say you took all the fucks I give, all the fucks Brian gives, all the fucks Lemmy gives, and Joe, and Jim -- all the fucks every member of this forum gives -- how many total fucks would you have?

Best guess.

[Cunt]

None!

And you'll take whatever the DNC tells you to, for the 2024 election!

(Assange is jailed now, so no-one will tell you they cheated this time)

If only they can jail Trump for all the insurrecting, and prevent a fair challenge to the candidate they force on Democrat Party voters.

[pErvinalia]

Cunt should be studied.

[Joe]

Would that be called Trolls just want to have fun?

[Sean Hayden]

If you believe he’s a troll the work’s been done: likely an everyday sadist.

—meh, it hardly matters. You’ll either learn to interact in a healthy way or you won’t. They don’t change.

That's not nice for poor ms Lauper
