It’s difficult for a normal person to understand what happened so I’ll try to explain. The terrorist committing a premeditated act of terror saw a cop coming to him and his comrades. He grabbed a rifle and fired at the cop. One of the bullets struck the cop.

The terrorist’s defense that he actually argued in the court was that he wasn’t firing at the cop, he was firing a warning shot at the cop, and the bullet must have taken a ricochet then hit the cop because he didn’t actually mean to shoot the cop.

Yes, that was his actual defense. This is why he was sentenced to 100 years lol.

@samrussek You are an evil liar

Senators have no interest in passing anything and yet are confused why Trump doesn't particularly like them.

[Baskry @Baskry2]

@redfang58 And also its Trump's fault if we lose the midterms even though we won't pass anything that could win over swing voters or at the very least energize the base!

The Senate GOP must be the most entitled group of geriatrics in the US, and that's saying something

@jon_wunwun7 All these idiots championed this ill-founded venture, and then screech when its initial resolution doesn't meet their (unrealistic) expectations. They got the Iran policy they wanted but fundamentally cannot evaluate its efficacy objectively. They will never admit failure.

@lefineder Do you know any more detailed information about the site in present-day Scotland?

Reminder: a big reason why the 2023 Maui wildfires were so bad is that officials made "indigenous" science policy and refused to properly deal with the catastrophe https://t.co/HOs2P9dLGH

What if he had said: “I want race riots and closed borders.” Would you have respected those wishes too or are you just an opportunist?

In 2021, Canadian media and institutions basically hallucinated the discovery of 215 children’s bodies in a mass grave near a former Catholic residential school. The evidence: radar saw soil disturbances that could have been tree roots. A wave of church arsons ensued.

People making the case for censorship often urge that destructive manias like this can be suppressed/soothed if we prevent people from communicating about them. And here was a perfect case: false information was being recklessly (or maliciously) amplified, leading to literal hate crimes. Shouldn’t the censors do something?

But the mass-grave craze infected the censorship class, so opposition got targeted instead. At least one “disinformation” NGO categorized skepticism as “hate speech,” and Canada even saw efforts to criminalize so-called “denialism” (drawing an absurd comparison to the Holocaust).

Good for the Globe and Mail to come clean.

Say what you want about what Vice became, but they did some seriously great gonzo reporting and anthropology, and it's a great mark of shame that nobody has tried to do this "from the right." Then again, I suspect if you tried to do it from the right you'd almost inevitably get annoying hamfisted attempts to make the whole thing explicitly ideological, when really what you want is to let the filmmaking speak for itself.

Excellent piece, well worth a close read

Distinct memory from elementary school history class. Teacher is telling us about Hitler. She takes the few students with blue eyes and blond(e) hair and puts us in the corner. Teacher says to the rest: “Hitler wanted to kill everyone except them.” We high-fived each other.

@redfang58 If it can be pulled off in a manner that is credible to ourselves, then it goes a long way to indicating that a genuine US-China reapproachment was jumpstarted during the Beijing Trip and great power collusion is the norm

Regarding the substance of the move: no worse than Russia

@JenGeorge10 @GenXReaction @DanFriedman81 That is not the way any logical person or well functioning legal-investigative system judges evidence. It would be less embarrassing to say you dislike Kavanaugh than to engage in sorry attempts to steelman accusations that never had any standing even back in 2018

EXCLUSIVE: California spent nearly $189 million to give every state prisoner a free iPad. We interviewed a dozen death row inmates, who told us that prisoners are using the tablets to watch porn, engage in x-rated chats, and groom minors on the outside.
