On Thursday, Abbott was subject to widespread criticism when asked where the line was for him in terms of border enforcement mechanisms he suggested the only reason Texas is not shooting migrants crossing the border “is because of course, the Biden administration would charge us with murder.”
the Texas GOP is basically a fascist party and has been for awhile, and this permeates even its upper echelons. its members even meet with fascists like Nick Fuentes at this point
It is a felony under 18 U.S.C. § 111 forcibly to assault, resist, oppose, impede, intimidate, or interfere with Federal law enforcement officers, including Secret Service agents, in the performance of their duties.
“It did not occur to me then — and remains surprising to me now — that Mr. Schwartz would drop the cases into his submission wholesale without even confirming that they existed,” Cohen said. “Accordingly, when I saw the citations and descriptions I had sent Mr. Schwartz quoted at length in the draft filing, I assumed that Mr. Schwartz had reviewed and verified that information and deemed it appropriate to submit to the court.”
Bro:
Even if this is true, don’t throw your goddamned lawyer under the bus. Just say we’re very sorry, we fucked up, I was the one that researched it initially, we won’t do it again. This whole statement does 0% good and a whole lot of bad.
I like Cohen because he manned up and admitted he was wrong but this was a little reminder to me that POS is still in his DNA.
This isn’t exactly something you can simply apologize for and move on. His lawyer filed a motion with obviously false case references, and could wind up facing disbarment.
He only got the job with Trump because it’s the only place that would hire him. There’s that saying that definitely applies here: A’s hire other A’s, B’s will hire C’s.
The “idiots” leading those places are usually educated so they can write the narrative to keep the real idiots uneducated so they’ll keep voting them in
“As a famous person once said, ‘You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.’ And as I - another more famous person - once said, if you don’t teach them to read, you can fool them whenever you like.” –Max Headroom
It has been used frequently by Ukrainians describing Russians in recent times. I have to admit, the description is fitting for an invader from the perspective of a Ukrainian.
orc - a member of an imaginary race of humanlike creatures, characterized as ugly, warlike, and malevolent.
Are orcs actually evil? I thought they were only evil when they congregated into a horde. Alone they kind of just hunt and do basic survival things. Maybe I am misremembering.
Orcs are generally depicted as being overwhelming in number, but individually kind of worthless. Wave after wave is sent into the meat grinder until the meat grinder breaks.
Kinda perfect for Russia’s approach to invading Ukraine.
I think it’s also worth noting that Tolkien’s orcs were individually cowardly and undisciplined, who could only be motivated into a horde by being more afraid of the consequences of refusal.
The only zerg I’m familiar with are StarCraft’s. Zerglings match what you’re describing, but the zerg as a whole vary a ton.
And zerglings are pretty much the orcs of the StarCraft universe, so kinda interchangeable if we’re comparing to large groups irl idiots like the J6 crowd, or invaders like Putin’s cannon fodder
Sent harassing and threatening messages to a DC Police detective assigned to the FBI task force that worked on Gossjankowski's case, including antisemitic, homophobic and racist epithets and suggested the officer should be violently sexually assaulted
Instagram posts referring to FBI agents and law enforcement in antisemitic and homophobic terms and called them "animalistic subhumans." The posts also contained the names, email addresses and phone numbers of prosecutors, law enforcement and even court staff involved in the case. At least one post urged Gossjankowski's followers to "inundate" Valentini's inbox with messages.
Don’t get me wrong I’m glad all these traitors are speaking up about king traitor but I can’t help but feel like they all should be held accountable and not celebrated. It’s not like trump was some saint going into his presidency and we suddenly found out it was all a ruse. He literally has just been himself from day one. So these people willingly signed up to back a wannabe dictator and we are to believe they had a ‘ crisis of conscience’ and are now speaking out? Fuck that. These bottom feeders hitched their wagon to a losing party and now that it suits them they’re going full #metoo like we aren’t aware they supported and enabled all of it.
Fuck her, fuck trump, they all need to be behind bars for getting us here. Send a clear message that Hitler wasn’t the only Nazi and just because they took off their Hugo boss uniforms and stopped goose stepping doesn’t mean they’re forgiven for their crimes.
They’re just angling for the next con, trying to find a slightly more intelligent fascist to hitch their wagon to while they destroy the country. All of them should pay.
Kinda. She chose that job. She ignored all the red flags. And now she’s going to do entertainment tours because nobody is hiring people who worked in Trump’s govt and boo fucking hoo, her bosses treated her badly.
