  1. Homophobic, racist, book burning, former Leander school district member changes name days before announcing a run for US Congress, as a Democrat. Note that he chose the name of a former Senate Majority Leader (1980-1995.) Fuck this cynical ghoul. The good news is R party polling must be abysmal. “A former Leander ISD trustee known for his role in high profile curriculum disputes has reentered the political arena under a new name as he seeks the Democratic nomination in Texas' 17th Congressional District. James "Jim" MacKay-now campaigning as "J. Gordon Mitchel"-quietly adopted the new identity in 2025, shortly before announcing his congressional run.” https://www.openpr.com/news/4362801/central-texas-congressional-candidate-rebrands-as-j-gordon
  2. Reuters reports the US military is preparing for a “weeks” long confrontation with Iran. “U.S. military is preparing for the possibility of sustained, weeks-long operations against Iran if President Donald Trump orders an attack, two U.S. officials told Reuters, in what could become a far more serious conflict than previously seen between the countries. The disclosure by the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the planning, raises the stakes for the diplomacy underway between the United States and Iran.” https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/us-military-preparing-potentially-weeks-long-iran-operations-2026-02-13/ When the walls are closing in, blow up shit. I mean, they are only NPCs, right?
  3. That reporter went into more specifics in an early article. The missing footage was from cells designed for solitary confinement, but the plaintiffs claim the cells were packed with people.
  4. The Chicago based lawsuit filed by detainees against ICE has been hampered by ICE’s refusal/inability to turn over evidence. ICE claims surveillance tapes were destroyed. “The federal government claims that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility. People detained at ICE’s Broadview Detention Center in suburban Chicago sued the government on October 30; according to their lawyers and the government, nearly two weeks of footage that could show how they were treated was lost in a “system crash” that happened on October 31.” https://www.404media.co/ice-says-critical-evidence-in-broadview-abuse-case-was-lost-in-system-crash-a-day-after-it-was-sued/
  5. Imagine killing tens of thousands of protesters, yet still having a path to the moral high ground.
  6. I understand your point, and that isn’t my argument. Were I able to decide what is just in this case, I’d find her guilty as charged, and sentence her to whatever time she’s served, and require her to pay for damages. Probably give her time to raise that money. Because I also think those warehouses are yawning gates to hell on Earth. It is impossible for me to frame her actions as arson without a moral excuse, even though the owner isn’t in the death camp business.
  7. Fair enough. I don’t fault those lone holdouts, either. I asked the question because I think it is relevant to this discussion. In certain contexts, breaking the law is an excusable choice. Murder to protect another life, for example. And, if the law doesn’t provide an excuse that my own sense of right and wrong demands ought be one, for a particular offense, then my decision as a juror will stand by my beliefs. Which might explain why I’ve never sat on a jury,
  8. No. What are your thoughts on jury nullification? I mean, I assume you are against it.
  9. I’d like to think that is true under the Obama administration. I have my doubts about Garland’s efficacy. I also think the available evidence has increased since DT1, with more victims coming forward to tell their tale. None of whom were interviewed by the DOJ.
  10. Take their money, drink their booze, and then vote against them.
  11. You’ve got a real nice bar. It’d be a shame if something were to happen to it.
  12. Almost true. It is as good as its sources, its criteria for such sources, and its integrity. The mediabiasfactcheck report states the Guardian has made two major mistakes in the past five years, one of which it retracted. I didn’t dive deeper into the other, as this hole was dug by a dishonest actor.
  13. Went with rage it’s not happening here, despite being gratified Europe is taking some action.
  14. That poster is himself a font of misinformation, as he promotes science crafted by the political right, science which was reviewed and rejected by both the NIH and the Endocrine Society. Here we see him disparage the reporting of, if not the Guardian, the Guardian’s source. Media sources that strive to get the facts right deserve not just better, but the benefit of the doubt. They’ve earned some credibility. And, if the Guardian did get their reporting wrong, we can expect them to be open and public about their mistake. I mean, who should I believe, a media source that enjoys a “high” rating on reporting fact, or a Putin ass suck who claims they’re privy to confidential information? A Putin scatmuncher who is doing their level best to destroy any and all confidence in the media, in government institutions, in science?
  15. I have a pretty good relationship with an Austin area judge. When he was in his college years, he volunteered for the Peace Corp, and his training was in Puerto Rico. He told me that when he arrived there, and stepped off the plane and saw what was what, he had the thought that PR was his idea of what Heaven ought be like. He said, “There were people of every hue that God makes humans, and they all spoke Spanish!”
  16. What is true is there has been a whistleblower report sitting in IC IG since June, and that it has not been dispatched to the relevant Congressional subcommittees.
  17. Best part of this post, which was already funny, is the neg from cred the scatmuncher.
  18. The clown that pushes politically generated medical “studies” shouldn’t be an arbiter of veracity. Just saying.
  19. Lip syncing Hillbilly Vanilli.
