She’ll get a slap on the wrist like every other one of these treasonous fucks have but she was an intern for a US Senator and absolutely knew better. She was there to overthrow the government and install a fascist dictatorship. She should be facing life in prison without the possibility of parole at a minimum.

George Terwilliger, a lawyer representing Meadows, said he had not yet seen the indictment.

"If Mr. Meadows is named in this indictment, it is a blatantly political and politicized accusation and will be contested and defeated,” he said.

Your client tried to overthrow the results of the election and install a fascist dictator, take this talk of “blatantly political/politicized accusations” and shove it.

Yeah but I gotta say, it’s pretty funny that they attach a CC license notice to every inane comment they post.

By golly that sure does sound like some of that there ‘election interference’ Trump and his chuds are always screeching about, don’t it?

It’s not a subtle or clever tactic and it doesn’t fool anyone these days but people still insist on LARPing/concern trolling in comment sections. It’s like a compulsion.

Lmao yeah okay pal 🙄

I thought this was common knowledge months ago.

It was, at least among people who don’t get all their information from Fox News, Breitbart or random neo-nazis on Twitter lol, but we don’t stop election polling just because one poll was already conducted months ago.

It’s peak fragility. Trump also tried to get the DOJ to investigate Saturday Night Live for being mean to him.

Fist my bump!

I’m really looking forward to this movie. I went into the audiobook knowing nothing about the story and could not have enjoyed it more, I think it’s Andy Weir’s best work. But with Lord & Miller at the helm along with Ryan Gosling set to star? I can’t imagine a better line up working on this adaptation. It’s going to give The Martian (2015) one hell of a run for it’s money.

And you just know he’s got some rank-ass hamberder farts too. The White House staff must’ve been airing the place out for weeks when that stinky fuck left office. My sympathies go out to anyone stuck in that courtroom with Trump for however long this case lasts… Except for the defense of course. Let those mfers huff away.

On a Telegram channel previously run by him, Bentley’s wife, Lyudmila, said he had been “abducted” by Russian soldiers from a tank battalion, and called on them to let him go.

The self-declared communist joined pro-Moscow separatists in Ukraine to fight Kyiv in 2014. He later also worked for the state-owned Russian news agency Sputnik and was given Russian nationality.

What a stupid and unnecessary waste of time.

Yep, that applies to the entirety of the Republican controlled House during the 118th United States Congress.

Yes, as I originally said, everyone on Lemmy thinks they know how to do journalist’s jobs better than they do and it’s beyond old at this point. I’m just going to go ahead and block you now as your lengthy off-topic complaints about journalistic practices have added nothing relevant to the discussion of the actual story.

If that’s what you meant you would have said that. But you didn’t. You’re clearly upset that vanity fair had the nerve to mention the specific gun. Otherwise you wouldn’t have praddled off three other examples to highlight your point. Nice attempt at saving face though.

Was it extra dangerous because it was a Glock pistol and not Sig Sauer? Would it have been less an issue if it was .380 Auto or .45 ACP instead of 9mm?

Typical “responsible gun owner” hot take, folks.

The bill as amended by Rep. Gino Bulso, R-Brentwood, would prohibit first-cousin marriage unless the parties to the marriage contract received counseling from a genetic counselor licensed by the board of medical examiners. Bulso argued during a House floor session on Thursday the bill – as written – could violate the Obergefell v. Hodges U.S. Supreme Court decision, which made same-sex marriage legal across the country.

Bulso, while explaining his reasoning, said the bill was introduced as a public health-related matter, adding the law needed to be passed to prevent cousins from getting married and conceiving a child that could have an increased risk for birth defects. Bulso argued two men who are first cousins could get married without the risk of conceiving a child with birth defects.

This is just another bigoted conservative with an agenda. He’s using this no-brainer anti-cousin-fucking law to push anti-LGBTQ rhetoric. Gino Bulso was a lawyer for just shy of 40 years before joining the Tennessee House of Reps in 2022. He knows this isn’t a reasonable argument and he doesn’t care. He’s just trying to attack Obergefell v. Hodges. He’s basically saying “See what *the gays* are making me vote against?! I don’t want to allow cousin-fucking but Obergefell v. Hodges says we have to! Trust me, I’m a lawyer!”

Edit: JFC nothing brings out the weirdos as quickly as an article about a ban on cousin-fucking.
