I almost think that it was an intentional trap by the powers that be because it’s exactly the same playbook that Epstein

It was exactly that. Joel Greenburg was using DMV record to scout talent and engaging in extortion using those underage prostitutes. When the DOJ went after Greenburg, instead off throwing the book at him, they chose to give him a deal to try and get dirt on Gaetz. The press and the DOJ itself framed it as if Gaetz was involved in Greenburg's sex trafficking. In reality, Gaetz was probably a target and victim.

In short, the FBI tried to use an testimony of a (now convicted) extortionist pimp to get rid of an unpopular Republican. Then Greenburg turned out to be so unreliable they couldn't make anything stick, so they sealed the files.

I buy it. But you got a better source? Even from the tilted stories I read, this thing sounded like hooliganism from the get go. Of course the Israelis (these were foreigners, not local Jews) forgot they were not at home and were surprised anyone would hit back.

Ah, but you see Smith, you were not a flag officer. Jokes aside, I'm not big on the idea of a Trump revenge arc with the sole exception of Mark Milley. If he did what he said he did in Woodward's book, it would not be unreasonable to recall and court martial the guy.

A glamour shot collection that totally has nothing to do with Maddow calling for the gov to cancel their contracts or today's Trump win. For those who insist that Elon doesn't actually do anything at SpaceX, I've got bad news as to who Shotwell probably voted for.

Here is a fairly neutral write-up. Interestingly (I'm having trouble finding sources atm), much of the contemporary criticisms around Nuremburg came from folk involved in setting up the Tokyo Tribunal. They felt that they needed to do a better job establishing proper legal principles than what came out of Nuremburg.

The Nuremburg Judges were going to prosecute Wehrmacht officers for Katyn (at the insistence of the Soviets) until the OSS and MI6 unofficially informed the Allied judges that the identity of the Katyn perpetrators was an open secret and had been for years. The Nuremburg trials, as a whole, were decried as show trials at the time by respectable legal experts all over the world, but that has been memory holed.

I've been waiting for years for urinalists to start griping about the huge pair of fasces on either side of the American flag behind the Speaker's Well in the US House of Representatives.

Someone want to play the devil's advocate and give any reason this isn't what it look like?

Now "non-binary." Not much choice when your parents nuke your endocrine system and castrate you.

Who has heard of (or remembers) Filk? Other favorites from this alum include: Guardians, Dawson's Christian, and Some kind of Hero.

Other examples include The Ballad of Apollo XIII, Pushin' the Speed of Light , and  Banned From Argo (watch this one).

Bible condones abortion, homosexuality, and every other far left cause.

It never has. The point of my complaint is that, amoral bullshit, is by nature tyrannical. You and I were raised to believe that our democracy was the best thing since Caesar. Would Christ, the incarnate godhead, agree that "abortion is a difficult issue," or would he start binding another whip?

I don't mean to be dickish about this question, but I feel its something to ponder.

“you don’t hate the media enough”

The western Christian thinkers (Catholic) spent so much ink on why it was best to defer to authority. Then they all decided that democracy is the best thing since Christ, so long as you vote for the typical neoliberal policies.

If a democracy votes on favor of evil (like Gov Waltz's allowance for late term baby disposal), then it is both evil and tyrannical. What is a non-neoliberal Christian to do? Christ premediated a beating over economic sacrilege, what would have done if he met abortionists?
