I accidentally retweeted it.
The precise details of the state case could not be confirmed Tuesday evening. But people familiar with the situation, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sealed indictment, suggested the prosecution will likely mirror aspects of the federal case in which Bannon was pardoned.
In that indictment, prosecutors alleged that Bannon and several others defrauded contributors to a private, $25 million fundraising effort, called βWe Build the Wall,β taking funds that donors were told would support construction of a barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Good. Take them all down. Traitors and insurrectionists or supporters of same every one of 'em.
Fucking genocidal shit stains.
As stated in the lawsuit, plaintiff John Kelley, an orthodontist in Tarrant County, claims he βhas no desire to purchase health insurance that includes contraceptive coverage because his wife is past child-bearing years.β
Furthermore, βhe does not want or need health insurance that covers Truvada or PrEP drugs because neither he nor any of his family members is engaged in behavior that transmits HIV,β the suit continues
wow. so none of them have sex. good luck with that.
also i didnβt want to pay for the last presidentβs salary, his wall, our private prisons, the drug war, our oil wars, fossil fuel subsidiesβ¦ i could go on. what about my feelings?
An orthodontist doesnβt potentially have intimate contact with bodily fluids? What is he? A theoretical orthodontist?
I wouldnβt worry too much. No point in getting in a froth about it.

β¦ In short, weβre seeing the two right-wing authoritarian projects of our age β Trumpism and Putinism β face the simultaneous possibility of failure. But each of these ideologies is premised on the impossibility of failure. What they do in response will shape the next decade.
Some military experts believe Putin will respond to the loss of Kherson unconventionally: either by staging an accident at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant or (according to the former West Point academic Matthew Ford) by dropping a small nuclear weapon on the region. Less dramatically, but more effectively, he could permanently switch off Europeβs gas supply: Gazprom abruptly shut down supplies to France this week, citing βnon-paymentβ and prompting the French energy minister to warn that, βRussia is using gas as a weapon of war and we must prepare for the worst-case scenario of a complete interruption of supplies.β
As for Trump, his sudden and open embrace of the QAnon myth, combined with warnings from his lawyers that βangerβ is building, signal he is prepared to double down on insurrectionary rhetoric against the American federal state.
This is an important moment in the co-evolution of the Trump and Putin projects. Whether or not you believe the allegations in the Steele dossier, that Putin has kompromat on Trump, it is clear that the two men have used each other consistently in geopolitical stratagems. β¦
β¦ This is a dangerous moment. It could, indeed, end with riots on the streets of America and energy blackouts across Europe. Or it could end with Trump in jail and Putin on a private jet to some final stronghold in Chechnya. β¦
Thatβs like saying women are being victimized by health insurance companies that provide treatment for prostate cancer.

Praying for⦠what? WTAF?
Not that I was planning to head up to Dallas in a few months, but usually thereβs some flotsam from these kinds of things that end up blowing into Austin:
Putting this into GOP Asshats (now combined with GOP Fascists?), because of pols in the US Congress. Now that some members of the GOP are backtracking about Roe, maybe the response to mass shootings like the one in Memphis on Wednesday could move beyond tots and pears to working on meaningful change for constituents. Hereβs Beauβs take on this:

Did anyone check their math?
Wait. Is that nutbag actually saying that the 96-year-old monarch was bumped off?
Going back 1776 days from September 8, 2022 gives you October 28, 2017. As it happens, thatβs when wikipedia gives the first post by βQ Clearance Patriotβ on 4chan. So Iβve got to hand it to themβ¦they might be making up a board with tacks and string everywhere, but to my surprise they actually did the numbers right.
