@TheDudeAbidesM@MichaelWarbur17 If a bully kicks a kid in the schoolyard, and we *label* him a bully, WE'RE the ones being cruel for placing such a hateful label on that bully... I mean, on that victim!
Got it.
In Iran if a 12-year-old girl is raped and impregnated by her father, she must carry the baby to term, or be thrown in prison for life. Wait, sorry, no. That's Mississippi.
Always helpful to note that we’ve had 46 U.S. Presidents, and they’ve been indicted on a total of 91 felony charges. Here’s how it breaks down:
1-44: 0
45: 91

The point I was dying to make before @DeadlineWH ran out of time: if this becomes a story of the rise and fall of the Amer experiment, we will point to the minute when McConnell decided not to vote for impeachment as the most important missed opportunity to salvage our democracy.
A reminder: Trump’s campaign manager, deputy campaign manager, national security advisor, foreign policy advisor, personal lawyer, top political advisor have all been convicted of felonies since Trump was elected. Campaign began as criminal enterprise & expanded to the entire GOP

Having now read a detailed, blow-by-blow account of the hearing, I am very impressed with Chutkan’s control and sophistication. Several moments of wryness, very quick pick up of nuances, forceful reminders of who is in charge without being overbearing. She’s the judge the case needs.
The ancestor of the 8086 processor is the Datapoint 2200, a desktop minicomputer used as an intelligent terminal. Made before the microprocessor, the Datapoint built a processor from a board of chips. The Intel 8008 cloned the Datapoint, first step to the x86 architecture. 🧵

Justice Thomas has brought shame upon himself and the United States Supreme Court with his acceptance of massive, repeated and undisclosed gifts. No government official, elected or unelected, could ethically or legally accept gifts of that scale. He should resign immediately.
This site had successfully created a brand so prevalent that its name conjugated into a common-use verb.
Whenever I see “post” on here I just have to tip my hat; it takes a genuine genius to locate a business’ most valuable asset and completely demolish it in a week for no gain.
@maddow In other words, “I know this isn’t actually legal, but we can argue it is”. The additional problem is that Trump’s lawyers presented no evidence in court and were sanctioned for frivolous lawsuits. They knew the actions weren’t legal and still took them
