Unfortunately, third party candidates are made exactly for people not paying attention
No objective evidence. It’s tough to build a case around key witnesses and testimonies that are easily assailable by the defense, especially ones that could play well to a jury.
It’s not fair, and this all very, very likely happened as the court documents allege. But proving it in a court of law is a whole different thing.
Prosecutors generally try not to take cases they’re not confident they can win. They’re underpaid and overworked and try and follow the 80/20 rule, which is that they can do more good prosecuting the 80% of cases that are slam dunks, than waste tax payer money chasing 20% of the cases that require just about “everything to go right” for them to come out on top.
It’s one of the many things flawed within our justice system right now that a DA won’t pursue this because the blowback of losing the case would end their career.
They don’t have any other kind.
Sure, but this wasn’t an image of TSwift with a MAGA 2024 shirt on that was AI generated.
This is years, over a decade, of post histories tied to his IP address with his own profile picture on these sites that was registered a long, long time ago.
Speaking as someone who works heavily with AI in the Software Engineering community, there’s no way today to get AI to do this.
Definitely no way to fake the server logs across multiple groups as well as the IP access logs.
It’s a line from the movie Billy Madison.
The required background for a Republican party candidate today.
For sure. It’s not exclusive to Mitch.
But Mitch was the architect.
He’s the reason the far right got 4 SCOTUS picks, instead of the 2 they should have if they played “fair”.
Mitch also was the architect for filling all the judicial vacancies in the federal courts with other far right partisan judges.
He’s also the architect for the current state of the GOP, and was responsible for most of the Government shutdowns in the last 20 years. Him lamenting this potential shutdown is laughable, to put it mildly.
He’s been doing this since at least 2010 when the GOP shifted their strategy away from advancing their democratic platform, and instead winning by fuckery like gerrymandering, blocking all bills in the Senate (as he was the majority leader for around a decade) that might advance the Democrat roadmap/agenda, and then immediately turning around and blaming democrats for the bill his party just blocked.
Mitch is the reason why the GOP is kept in line today.
His departure from politics, forced or otherwise, will have a huge impact on the GOP. There isn’t another person in their group that can hold all the different groups together and keep them focused on making democrats appear to look bad, like Mitch.
As much as I hate the guy (and boy, do I), he’s a masterful politician. I mean that as the damning insult it’s meant to be.
Mitch is the reason we have a partisan, hack, SCOTUS.
Obligatory: Doesn’t fucking matter, go vote.
Those two things are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
Giving habitually violent repeat offenders more reasons to be violent is always an issue.
Manson didn’t go to jail for murdering anyone. Manson went to jail because he conspired and convinced other people to murder for him.
Wouldn’t let me rent when the housing crash hit and I couldn’t afford the place, wouldn’t let me have friends over late at night because they thought my d&d group were a bunch of drug dealers. All around a miserable experience.
I’m not entirely sure he doesn’t stew on this.
Hitler, famously, obsessed over negative news coverage/press about him. Even to the point where he threatened violence/war with New York if they didn’t redact a column about him being a wannabe dictator.
Trump is the same kind of narcissist Hitler was, and gets similarly obsessed with negative press about him.
I agree that I doubt he’s reflecting on this, but he’s absolutely aware the rest of the world thinks he screwed up and that’s why he thinks they’re lying. Because everyone else around him says he won, so how could, literally every news agency, including Fox Entertainment “news”, say Kamala beat him?
But he is absolutely pissed and stewing in his own piss right now at all the negative coverage after his debate performance.
Right, they gray area is so small, it’s practically just a blend line for the huge expanse of black and white on the table for this election.
Which, let’s also be clear; they are not involved in any way.
Being motivated doesn’t change 300 year old bullshit laws that remove the democratic power of of all but a handful of swing states voting.
There’s roughly half of congress that is on the same side as her traitorous piece of shit ass.
He’s going to tank everyone down ballot. If everyone gets out and votes, the hope is this will be a landslide victory and the GOP will be punished for following trump in every election up for grabs this year. Including local elections
