The letter that retired judges, led by Nancy Gertner and Michael Luttig, wrote opposing Emil Bove's nomination emphasizes what a shithole he was to FBI Agents. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
Mr. Bove’s egregious record of mistreating law enforcement officers, abusing power, and dis regarding the law itself disqualifies him for this position.It is disqualifying alone that Mr. Bove targeted or terminated Federal Bureau of Investigation personnel and career Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors for honorably investigating violent criminals who assaulted police officers and intended to murder members of Congress and our nation’s Vice President on January 6, 2021. And it is reprehensible that Mr. Bove now refuses to condemn the shameful attack on the dignity and safety of every American that day.

Former judges call on Senate committee to reject Emil Bove's nomination

More than 75 former judges have called on the Senate Judiciary Committee to reject the nomination of Donald Trump's former attorney Emil Bove to an appeals court judgeship.

A Simple Fix for the Healthcare Crisis: Outlaw Insurance

Both sides in the health care debate have vested interests in screwing the pooch, so to speak, and little interest in solving the problem. Neither side ever asks, "What is the problem?"

The problem is simple to understand -- medical costs are too expensive in America. Fortunately, the solution is just as simple -- outlaw insurance. Insurance is a form of gambling, and, like any casino, insurance companies . . . stormfront.org/forum/blogs/u15…

Stickers, in the 90s? Are you sure? I believe we've been calling them smileys. I don't have any BBS software sources at hand, but PHPbb and SMF were among the most popular forum engines in the early 2000s, both call them smileys, e.g. here:
github.com/phpbb/phpbb/commit/…
github.com/SimpleMachines/SMF/…

Sticker is a relatively "young" term IMO, I think I encountered it for the first time when dealing with Telegram or something like that.

Oh, yes, that could be true! 🤔
But I see, @mirabilos@toot.mirbsd.org means real-life objects that inspired them — makes sense, but for me it wasn't like that. This could also be country and language specific.
In any case — yes, for the sake of correctness, emojis are original Japanese characters, but I personally don't mind the term being used more broadly 😁

I think there was a belief that Trump was going to be the "disclosure president." I have come to the conclusion that we mistakenly believe that the president (and that goes for any president) has more power and control than he really has. For instance, once Trump released the JFK documents, most of us thought there was nothing dramatic in those documents; that there was no reason these weren't released decades ago, and hence, the meaningful stuff has been held back.

Challenge: Prove that an Epstein client list exists.

Over the last 4 years that I have been collecting and cataloging news and memes I have saved almost 60K images.

I read every charging document on Ghislaine Maxwell, and I saved every piece of evidence related to the case that I could find.

I have never seen proof that an "Epstein client list" even exists let alone that it would be trustworthy if it did.

Is there anyone that can prove it exists? I seriously doubt it.

Robert R. reshared this.

The "list" is several thousand documents and data objects deemed sufficient to start a conviction process and due diligence filing. A single piece of paper - even if it was "These following people banged minors at my island. Signed J. Epstein" - does not exist. Unfortunately, that's the narrative that's been sold by spokespeople and the media. Right now, I don't care about the long term; I just want people to be indicted and removed from power.

So... I printed a pocket sized gas filter cartridge to mouth adapter. It fits and works! Great for all the other times when one doesn't want to carry a full face respirator around everywhere for the occasional less than lethal dog fart.

I found this has already been designed, "3M Filter Adapter for Snorkel Mask (dual or single filter)" and I chose the single filter and printed it, and here is the success. It will need an oring (which can be printed with TPU filament LOL.) The only change I would make is printing it slightly smaller at 98% for a better fit to the cartridge and 100% infill for strength, so just started another print.

And possibly another revision, to print the whole thing in TPU as this is held by the mouth and teeth 😁

In this piece on Arizona, the writer looks at how our media environment creates a self -destructive performativity incompatible with a healthy democracy.

Hope can be a tricky thing.

We should all hold out hope that things will improve, that despite how bleak it may look, things have a way of getting better, or if they don’t that we ourselves can improve and be changed by circumstance into something more than we believed we could be.

However placing your hope IN some government, some country, some politician, some ideology or some policy is foolish.

We must all learn to draw this distinction, and stay on the right side of the line.

Well said.

There are those who look at 'saviors' in our politicans. Biden or Que Mala will save our democracy!

When Trump won, these same people claimed Trump supporters were a cult. Who knows, some may be.

However, intelligent people realized Trump had many good statements and was better than any alternative available.

Of course we are disappointed. We did not expect the yellow brick road.

However, we need to defend against the cultists who worship big gubmint sans Trump.
