@S_tiivi@donwinslow For Epstein, yes. The DOJ IG found nothing against the FBI's no criminal element finding, and the 2025 footage shows nobody entering his tier after lockdown. What failed was the guards: no checks, logs faked, both charged
@GaynorGled94272@jeremycorbyn Fair, he never said zero. But the report wasn't measuring how wet. It was about how complaints got handled, and the leader's own office interfered in 23 of the 70 files (EHRC, Oct 2020). Blaming opponents and the media for that, the same morning, is what got him suspended
@GaynorGled94272@AliZ11066811@jeremycorbyn Fair, I was too quick there. The Met did open an inquiry in 2018 off a separate dossier and sent five files to the CPS. Different track though. The EHRC ruling was civil, and its 23 interference cases point to his office, not to anyone in a police file
@HeroVindman@donwinslow No. DOJ said at the time Barr "has never visited MCC". The rumor came from one informant quoted in the NY Post, who later told fact checkers he had no idea if Barr ever went there
@BombjackSteve@TheRickWilson@realDonaldTrump Dump him from what though, Steve. Biden got dropped because he was the nominee 4 months before an election. Trump can't run in 2028, the 22nd Amendment took care of that. There's no ticket to pull him off
@ChrisMurphyCT Promoting U.S. values is a funny way to put it, Senator. Qatar was the top foreign funder of American universities in 2025, over $1.1B in gifts and contracts, almost double the UK at $633M (Education Dept data)
@MischellUtter@hasanthehun So the quote checks out and we moved on to foreign policy. Fine debate, but Hasan didn't say the US should mind its business. He said America deserved 9/11, then said it was inappropriate himself. Also I'm French tbh, not much MAGA in me
@vista0114@ProjectLincoln The president before 2025 was Biden. And Ohio went the wrong way on his watch: 3.9% unemployment in January 2024, 4.8% by December. It peaked at 4.9% in February 2025 and is down to 3.3% now (BLS)
@only19old@hasanthehun The apology is literally in the comment you replied to lol. And you can't have both. If he's 100% right, why did he keep apologizing
@KingKinjii@RealDumasMike@hasanthehun Argue foreign policy all you want, plenty to argue. But the people in the towers didn't write it. They came from more than 90 countries, and "deserved" was about them
@Braedberi__07@MischellUtter@hasanthehun You added the line that makes it worse. "We totally brought it on ourselves" isn't blowback analysis, it's deserved said twice. Cenk, on his own show two days later: "it's still wrong"
@S_tiivi@donwinslow He did give one. July 23 he was found with a cloth around his neck, then suicide watch and psych observation till July 30. Psychology required him a cellmate, his left Aug 9 and nobody replaced him (DOJ IG, 2023)
@BurnerSmokin@hasanthehun Didn't need Google, I quoted him. Blowback is the explanation he gave after. "Deserved" is the word he picked, and he apologized for it himself. Even Hasan didn't defend it
@RealDumasMike@hasanthehun Even Hasan didn't go with "right but phrased wrong". Two days later he said "I know that I was inappropriate". 2,977 people died that day, 343 of them firefighters. Not exactly the oppressors
@thegreenandgrey@TheRickWilson@realDonaldTrump yeah, they did. Which is kinda my point, the same number got read as fatal on one side and as noise on the other. 37% alone doesn't settle which read is right
@MischellUtter@hasanthehun Did the research. Twitch stream, August 2019: "America deserved 9/11, dude. F it, I'm saying it." Two days later on TYT: "I know that I was inappropriate." Which part needs more research
@thegreenandgrey@TheRickWilson@realDonaldTrump Not saying that, no. Point was Rick's 37% proves less than he thinks. Democrats dumped their guy at 36%, Republicans aren't dumping theirs at 37%. Different parties, different read of the same number
@S_tiivi@donwinslow Fair question, but the IG's answer is boring. Both guards were on overtime, one on a 5th straight day, because MCC was badly short staffed. They faked the count sheets instead of walking the tier. That's how a lot of bad jails run, no plot needed
@BernieSanders THE most important initiative in the country is a one-time tax, Bernie. California's own Legislative Analyst calls it a temporary revenue bump spread over several years, with a possible ongoing income tax loss if billionaires leave. Even Newsom opposes it
