This Is Fine

now unless they are 2 different set of documents i think it wouldn't matter either way then......unless Trump is trying to bluff the Democrats into withdrawing their subpoena before then turning around going "naaa, i think i'll not release them"

Huge scandal in Spain after court documents show the Spanish Big Brother confronted a rape victim with footage of her own rape that happened the evening before while she was drunk.

Let's hope there's a crime those people can be charged with...

Big Brother (Australian season 6)

Big Brother Australia 2006, also known as Big Brother 6, was the sixth season of the Australian reality television series Big Brother, and was aired on Network Ten in Australia. The series began on 22 April 2006 and finished on 31 July 2006; a duration of 101 days. In the auditions, which had been held in November and December 2005, producers asked for contestants who were "smart, strong, and looking for a fight". The Launch was aired on the evening of 23 April 2006 (a 24-hour delay). Fifteen housemates initially entered the house on Day 0, with the addition of three Intruder housemates entering...

> An alleged sexual assault during which John (real name Michael Bric) held down Camilla Severi on her bed while Ashley (Michael Cox) pushed his crotch into her face in the house on 1 July 2006 resulted in the ejection of the pair from the show.

sure it was 13 years ago but these shows run off controversy and drama

Nzall

@Memor-X Yeah, in Belgium the show started really getting attention when partway through the first season a pair of contestants had sex

Once that happened the show suddenly became wildly popular

Memor-X

@Nzall sounds like it just became a more "organised" version of Jersey/Geordie Shore

> Glad to be back on Twitter after more than two months. For the backstory, stay tuned........

> Trump has called into Fox and Friends. He says his phone call with Zelensky was perfect. Of the Ukrainians, he says, "They must think we're nuts in this country."

I mean, yes

> AG Bill Barr says “he personally reviewed security footage that confirmed that no one entered the area where Epstein was housed on the night he died.”

On the one hand, obviously, the only question is whether he bribed his way into creating conditions to commit suicide or it was made possible through negligence. On the other hand, we now have to believe the Attorney General, of the United States, sat there and went through 8 hours of footage to make super sure

It should throw a pretty big wrench in all those "The Clintons did it" narratives though

This is somehow not a parody?

@TimStone Spoiler: You are

> Kilmeade of Fox and Friends has pushed back on some of Trump's claims today, and has asked some good questions - like, just now, why it was necessary to put Rudy into the middle of these dealings with a country he knows nothing about

I mean this is really the crux of it, "we like what you did but did you have to do it so dumbly?"

> Fox and Friends keeps trying to ask Trump a question. Trump keeps ranting. Trump says "one more thing" before we "get off." He is told that they are not actually about to finish the interview

An unusually unhinged morning even for Fox & Friends

Seems weird to not let her accidentally slip in an "and" when Pat Sajak "accidentally" slips in some alcohol before he goes on air

What a remarkably dumb thing to say

Holy shit he didn't sign it

> Tony Robbins has been accused of sexually assaulting a high schooler at a summer camp. @jane__bradley and I tracked down eyewitnesses, dozens of sources, teenage diary entries and the alleged victim herself to tell this story

The Usual Suspects are Very Mad about this article and thus online about it

> Rudy Giuliani’s associate, Igor Fruman, put $300,000 in political donations on credit cards to jump start a new business, according to transcript reviewed by @ScottGloverCNN and @eorden

$300,000 on credit cards? That's like 15 Amexes!

I mean, uh

Jail, maybe?

maybe even a little town in the netherlands, with any luck

Oh, it took me a minute to realise this was a Hague reference and not (somehow) a Wilhelm II reference

That makes much more sense

Utah woman whose step children saw her topless in her own home may have to register as a sex offender due to obscure law

> Buchanan told the Tribune that she told the children they should not be uncomfortable seeing a woman’s chest if they were not embarrassed to see a man’s chest.

Okay, well, not a super good thing to tell a kid but still seems like an accident

Tim Stone

As absurd as it is, I'm personally confused why anyone would go shirtless while hanging drywall, lol

> A 13-year-old male student has been arrested for allegedly plotting a school shooting in Los Angeles, authorities say. At his home police seized an assault-type rifle, about 100 rounds of ammunition, and a list of names with targeted students and staff members

GodEmperorDune

@GnomeSlice this seems like a huge stretch to being a sex offender

ToxicFrog

@GodEmperorDune I get the impression that sex offender laws in a lot of the US are...super fucked up

Nzall

@TimStone AFAIK that doesn't matter. The bill was approved with a vetoproof supermajority, so even if Trump doesn't sign it, it still becomes law

GodEmperorDune

not learning anything from the current impeachment inquiry over withholding military aid from Ukraine, trump admin withholds Lebanon’s military aid too

@Nzall I think they might have to vote again to officially override the veto

@ToxicFrog yes

Nzall

@GodEmperorDune Yeah, but they had unanimous consent in the senate before that. I can't imagine that 34 senators would vote differently the second time around

Yuuki

10:13 PM

@TimStone As someone who has had to hang drywall during a Houston summer, it's not dumb.

Tim Stone

Oh, they definitely might, because they are dumb. McConnell would have to schedule the vote to begin with though

Presumably someone will try to nudge him into it, I don't think that he's technically vetoed it yet

Yuuki

McConnell? Scheduling a vote? Next thing you'll tell me is that a turtle might schedule a vote in the Senate.

Tim Stone

@Yuuki I get the heat aspect but given the dust it seems like you're better off with the clothes, idk

Yuuki

@TimStone Put on a facemask and take a shower later.

A nice cold shower.

@TimStone I’d worry less about the dirt and more about dropping something sharp onto bare skin

Tim Stone

Also true

Incidentally, if she did this

> They allege that Buchanan drunkenly commented in front of her stepchildren that she should be able to take off her shirt if her husband could do so, then removed her clothes. The prosecutors also allege that Buchanan told her husband that she would put her shirt back on only if he showed her his penis

She's still not a sex offender but it does seem more like A Problem

GodEmperorDune

Do not hang drywall whilst drunk

Tim Stone

Also don't ask your stepchildren's dad to whip it out in front of them probably

GodEmperorDune

But even drunkenly disrobing in front of your step kids doesn’t seem like it should be a sex offense

It’s not inherently sexual

Tim Stone

Yeah, I suspect the "lewdness involving a minor" statute is just broadly defined and that's largely how we got here

Since e.g. a person doing public indecent exposure outside a school or something would be more sex-offense-y

GodEmperorDune

Yeah

> Trump calls George Conway a "wack job." He says of Kellyanne, "She must have done some baaad things to him," "some number on him," because he is "crazy."

Unclear if he said it as a joke or a "joke", but not surprising yet still somehow surprising he'd place the blame on Kellyanne

She's a woman but also one of his biggest defenders
