🤪"Fani Willis is a liar!" (without proof) and "It didn't rain during Trump's inauguration speech!"

There are some ways the platforms should be regulated (user age, for example and certain established content types) but generally I think content should be regulated by the platform. They should moderate content, vs regulate content. There's no reason the government shouldn't be able to share a POV with the platforms though. Misinformation and disinformation are dangerous. Hate speech can be dangerous. Users can and should be able to flag that content for moderators. And so should the government and other entities.

Your projection is off the charts, you pathological farking liar. 1. Nobody said Chauvin invented that temporary restraint as a concept. That's your fantasy. But his usage of that technique was not compliant with training or policy.. 2. Yes, dummy, the same training manual page that you posted that LITERALLY says to move the person into recovery position as soon as they are in cuffs to avoid positional asphyxia. I'll repost what you posted. You can get someone to read it to you if you're unwilling or unable. 3. The witnesses did not lie. What Chauvin did was in no way approved. He did not follow procedure. He literally did the opposite of what he had seen in the training manual and killed the detainee, exactly like the manual told him was possible. And ANY use of of force is only authorized until the subject is compliant. Chauvin continued on LONG after Floyd was unconscious, and long after Floyd was dead. 4. What you call "the truth" (the slide in which explicit bullet points itemize the ways Chauvin was not following training - lol) was not allowed because Chauvin could not - or did not attempt to - prove that he had ever actually viewed that slide. A decision which was UPHELD on appeal as well. Pg 36 I'm sure as an "armchair expert" you know better than the judges though. 🙄 5. It's not uncommon to not release body camera footage if it is believed that it will make it harder to empanel a jury. I don't know what the rationale is in this case, but it really doesn't matter. That footage is just as damning as the witness footage that the prosecution didn't control. Floyd was murdered, plain and simple, through excessive force (against policy) combined with extraordinary indifference to his life and health on the part of Chauvin. Chauvin simply kneeled on Floyd's neck until Floyd was dead, and then kept kneeling on his neck for quite some time afterward. So farking casual that he'll kill a man while keeping his hands in his pockets.

Well, if Trump said it, it must be true. I think even the most die-hard Trump cultists would think twice before bonding him with their life savings. Trump is and always has been dishonest, and on some level they know it.

1. Yes, pretty much the whole point of being male 2. In younger days I urinated outdoors many times--discretely and otherwise--behind trees, on trees, behind cars, on cars, in alleyways and off balconies, etc. Good times! 3. I'd do it today if the right opportunity presented itself! 4. I've never urinated in a parking garage, which is more sketchy, but it's a lawyer's office, so I'd give it a pass. 5. Utterly ridiculous to arrest a 10-year old for any of the above, and doubly so to charge them. Grown-ups know better, but sometimes a kid has just got to go.

Trump can’t secure $454 million appeal bond in New York fraud case, his lawyers say ″Defendants’ ongoing diligent efforts have proven that a bond in the judgment’s full amount is ‘a practical impossibility,’” the lawyers wrote, quoting an affidavit in the filing with the Appellate Division of Manhattan Supreme Court. They said they have approached roughly 30 surety companies through four separate brokers, and that they have spent “countless hours negotiating with one of the largest insurance companies in the world.” Clearly, Trump is not as rich as he'd have you believe, and too concerned about the political optics to declare bankruptcy. I can't help but think there's a moral to this story: if you lie, cheat and are found to have committed fraud multiple times, people don't want to risk money on you. Certainly that should figure into any risk assessment. I still suspect that he'll come up with the bond before the deadline so that James doesn't sell Trump tower at the earliest opportunity. Perhaps he can ask Putin for a loan?

^^This is a lie. McCarthy was asked to name 5 members to the committee. He cynically named people who were under investigation for their roles in the events of the day. Literally, suggesting that they should investigate themselves, that that would somehow serve the interests of the American people. Pelosi rejected those two specific nominations and requested replacements. McCarthy refused to replace the names, forcing Pelosi to proceed without his input. Pelosi didn't demand to hand pick all the members. McCarthy simply refused to participate in good faith, and ultimately refused to participate at all.

Oh, you have a perspective? Okay, tell us what the "GPI" tells us about the Biden economy relative to other economies? Hm? Do tell. Lol. Seriously, you're so far over your head I feel sort of guilty just watching you drown.😜

Lol. Let's be clear, you want to counter the "Biden narrative" with an unused "alternative metric" and you don't have any data related to that metric from the last 20 years. So you can't even use the metric to evaluate the Biden economy or it's relative strength? You get how utterly absurd that is, right? Stop digging! And yes, everyone should read that link and applaud you for your newfound interest in "green economics" and social justice. Really, I'm cheering you in in that regard. Just, you know, have some numbers if you want to talk numbers.

Nah, she's prosecuting him because he's a criminal and her job is to prosecute criminals. The rest is gravy. You can be sure that if any average Joe conspired to defraud Georgia voters they'd be facing the same kinds of charges. They just wouldn't be on TV as much.

Oh, it's almost entirely manufactured to take shots at Fani Willis and embarrass her Nobody is dumb enough to actually believe that she was prosecuting Trump in order to employ her boyfriend and go on trips. Nor that the relationship would in any way affect the administration of justice. It's just a bad look and opportunists are taking advantage of it to humiliate a legal/political foe. Hope everyone had their fun.

Lol. Blabber, blabber, blabber. How many posts in now and you still can't muster up the current "GPI" numbers or historical trends to even address the "Biden narrative"? Because you 100% have no idea what you're even talking about. This is the point at which your friends should tell you to stop digging.

You massively overstuffed lying sack of crap. You deliberately lifted the supporting evidence without the thesis. I specifically said: "There is NO manual anywhere that instructs officers to kneel on a person's neck for 9+ minutes. Quite the opposite." And then I listed out supporting statements that what Chauvin was not using an approved restraint based on how it was used--including Chauvin's own admission. There is no manual or training that supports that technique as a long-term restraint, specifically and explicitly because it can harm it kill. Which, again, is in the goddamn screenshot from the manual you like posting. You are lying your ass off (as always) to make it seem like Chauvin was operating "by the book" when something unforseen happened because Floyd X,YZ. Which is complete bullshit, by all evidence--including yours--and by Chauvin's own admission. He was off book by miles doing something he had been trained to know had a high potential to be lethal.

I'm taking ^^this vacuous reply as confirmation that you are talking out of your ass, had no idea what "GPI" meant and have no idea what the GPI numbers are. You guys, always trying to fight fact with fiction from your alternate reality. Pretty embarrassing pratfall there. I kinda see why you tend to stick to inane drive-by comments instead of taking about issues.

You are being wholly disingenuous, and making yourself look sillier in the process. Google may have surfaced this obscure alternative metric that you suddenly claim is more accurate, but I doubt you can even speak to the measurements. What's the current US "GPI"? How did it compare to recent historical trends? If anyone did actually want to use "GPI" it would be a fringe left proposal. Ilhan Omar proposed that we adoot it a few years ago. I'm sure you were an enthusiastic supporter, lol. Conservative America doesn't give even the tiniest shite about the secondary and tertiary components of GPI. You suddenly want to consider environmental costs and climate change as part of economic health? Wealth inequality? Volunteerism? You think that will make Trump look better? Lol Please triple down now, so we can all have a nice chuckle and remind you of your new values from time to time. Perhaps you're accidentally enlightened now?

Lol. Mention of an "alternative metric" (that no one tracks and that you've likely never heard of before) because the standard metrics we've all used for decades are overwhelmingly positive. Reminds me of the time that "conservatives" suddenly discovered U6 unemployment during the Obama administration. Except, at least that one was a real, standard metric.

No, I don't think you do, or you wouldn't still be whining about it a decade after the fact. You seem to think that the Obama DoJ, the Trump DoJ and multiple Inspectors General Brent gave Clinton a pass because of some backroom deal. Which is nonsense. She underwent 10x the scrutiny to arrive at the same "punishment" as Colin Powell, Jared Kushner, et. al.

You're a liar. I haven't changed any story. Cite where I claimed any such thing. As always, I'll call you out on your lie, and then you'll slink away like a coward instead of correcting your claim. The "whole story" is about a public murder by a bad cop. And that story is written in court and signed. Maybe you can be Chauvin's pen pal while he's in the pen?

A short post to reaffirm that, indeed, nothing came of it except a lot of political noise? Thanks.

WTF are you even rambling on about, you kook? I don't support what Israel is doing, Zelensky wasn't murdering anyone and you are literally cheering on an *actual* fascist dictator who invaded a US and Canadian democratic ally without provocation. You are seriously confused, and managed to get everything entirely ass backward.

Oh great. Did the businesses you worked for "need" email servers? Is there any reason they wouldn't want to send sensitive data through public services? Or were they too trying to hide something nefarious? Look, investigations happened under two administrations and neither found anything deliberate or criminal. She violated policy and that was naughty, but even that was found to be consistent with widespread violations across departments and governments. Again, even after all this theatre, the same behavior continued to happen in the Trump administration. You conspiracy folks want to pretend like this is some crazy special scenario and elaborate contrivance to hide secrets, and it just isn't. My personal information is a lot less desirable than Clinton's and yet I've run multiple email servers from my home (everything from old laptops to Pi to Nas). And every time I retire a drive I securely erase or drill it. So do millions of Americans. Again if you really worked in IT then you know this is incredibly basic homebrew-level stuff. And yet you're pretending it's something special. You want to talk about ineffectual? Maybe consider that you're churning on nonsense that's over a decade old and was never more than campaign rally fodder.🙄

Dude, it's an email server, not a data center. It's about as basic as it gets if you don't wanna use Hotmail or Gmail or some other public service. And BleachBit is not some crazy industrial solution. It's free consumer-level software for secure deletion. It's exactly the kind of things any homebrew admin would use when cleaning a drive that had contained classified email. People who think any of that stuff is weird are people who are just not technologically savvy. She wasn't charged because she did the same thing as every other administration--including Trump's while he was still whining about buttery males. None of this is mysterious.

Lol. Why don't you run along, leave the grown ups alone and go back to trying to convince us that rain isn't rain and your special TV can see the future.

Yes, apparently describing behavior that is far, far beyond trespassing and stating that it's not classified as trespassing means that I somehow believe that no one could ever be charged with trespassing for lesser transgressions. Hyuk. It's not pedantic. It's just dumb and dishonest.

Repeating something ^^this incredibly stupid doesn't make it true--or any less stupid.
