@GodEmperorDune Bonus points for her not even being able to spell their last name correctly but holy hell
Nothing says "Oh yeah I definitely didn't do it my case is solid" as being a high-profile defendant who still needs to hop on Twitter to ask for someone to do pro bono work
Speaking of which, there is a TNG episode where they come up with an impossible shape and use it to paralyze the borg while they spend so much time analyzing it... qanon is like the same thing except for humans
@SaintWacko Oh, I thought you meant the code sharing killing 30 spies thing and was prepared to say "contractors" but yeah for this it's possible they did like a series of warnings and whatever before taking action for any number of reasons
BREAKING: Opponents say Utah's medical marijuana ballot measure would violate Mormons' religious beliefs, citing Masterpiece cake decision, and ask a state judge to keep voters from weighing in in November. #utpol https://www.sltrib.com/news/politics/2018/08/16/utahs-medical-marijuana/
“WE’RE NOT GONG TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, IT WAS NEVER THAT GREAT.” Can you believe this is the Governor of the Highest Taxed State in the U.S., Andrew Cuomo, having a total meltdown!
@TimStone brb starting a religion where voting for trump violates my religious beliefs
@TimStone We're not gong
@TimStone let's see what omarosa drops tomorrow
“I’d strip the whole bunch of them. They’re all corrupt. They’ve all abused their power. They’ve all betrayed the American people with a political agenda. They tried to steal and influence an election in the United States.” @seanhannity
SCOOP: Trump has reversed the classified Obama-era rules governing the use of offensive U.S. cyber weapons, sources say, in a bid to loosen restrictions on such strikes https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-seeking-to-relax-rules-on-u-s-cyberattacks-reverses-obama-directive-1534378721
Trump sat down with WSJ for 20 minutes.
*Multiple* times during the brief conversation he asked staffers to bring in self-aggrandizing charts that illustrated, among other things, his social media follower count.
> Staffer: Mr President, this is a Pie chart of your current follower count broken down between bots, racists and other Trump: wow, look at all my human follows in blue Staffer: actually sir the 90% in blue are bots, the 9.8% in red are racists Trump: *takes out marker and crosses out bots and writes PEOPLES! in the blue section* i fixed the fake news
If you thought this year was hot, wait until you hear about the global warming 'hiatus' that's about to end https://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/warm-2018-2022-1.4784746 Shared via the CBC News Android App
> And global warming doesn't mean that every location on the planet warms uniformly — there are some regions that can be colder than normal — nor does it mean that each year is hotter than the previous one. Instead, it's an overall trend that can play out within a decade or more, with the temperature of the entire planet rising over time.
Also worth noting, because "herp derp it snowed so global warming ain't real"
Once again thanks for pulling out of the Paris Accords Trump
@murgatroid99 relatedly, the reviews of this plan from the geniuses at Reason dot com and National Review dot com are in: "this will destroy capitalism", "this is a plan to nationalize everything"
Which, in order, "I'm glad you're admitting that the current power dynamic is integral to the current system" and "no it isn't what"
(reason's was specifically about how actually worker control is bad iirc)
(but I'm not going to try and figure out how Kevin D "fired from the atlantic" Williamson got nationalize everything from this)
one area where the traditional pension plan is getting new life: as a tax dodge for wealthy business owners. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-08-15/rich-professionals-barred-from-tax-break-find-pension-painkiller
After raising just $500, Tulsi Gabbard takes a shot at DCCC. “Unfortunately, this cycle the DCCC has chosen to spend money on negative campaigning and mudslinging against progressive Democrats in primary elections, which is something Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard cannot support.”
As court case drags on, Maine is rejecting applications for Medicaid from people who became eligible under an expansion voters approved last fall https://www.pressherald.com/?p=1505014
> Correia said she’s an uninsured self-employed graphic designer who earns about $6,000 per year, and she recently took on $28,000 in hospital debt when she went to an Orlando, Florida-area hospital this spring with a severe throat infection.
I mean it's pretty ridiculous because the governor will be done this year and I can't imagine whoever replaces him being bold enough to test voter patience like this
So it's like purely because he enjoys being the worst person
> "There are guys with the name D-Money, Smoothie, Shifty — these types of guys — they come from Connecticut and New York, they come up here, they sell their heroin, they go back home," he said Wednesday. "Incidentally, half the time they impregnate a young, white girl before they leave, which is a real sad thing because then we have another issue we have to deal with down the road."
Exchange between Sen. @brianschatz & @AjitPaiFCC over a previous claim by the @FCC that the agency was the victim of a cyberattack (DDoS). Full video here: https://cs.pn/2OFQHTz https://t.co/Hxxj7MHRO2
I mean that's a whole separate thing but let's appreciate my senpai joke
Trump is fuming privately that @OMAROSA should be “arrested” per person briefed on conversations. My latest:
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/08/death-spiral-why-omarosa-totally-triggered-trump
@TimStone Okay so the funniest thing here is that he's probably not even wrong! But he's definitely an unhinged authoritarian, so no thanks. Plus we'd have to arrest pretty much everyone there I think
@puzzlepiece87 yay, they do need to fix the thing instead of overwarning
user15026
@puzzlepiece87 I just learned about that whole warning mess this week when I was putting my new wifi card in my desktop and was all "why are they telling me it might cause cancer in California".
user15026
I am happy they're hopefully going to fix the thing instead of just sticking it on all the things
Not to be confused with trap card Jar of Greed that lets you draw 1, or continuous spell shard of greed which lets you draw 2 and destroy it after it's on the field for 2 standby phases
