The top comments on X are some idiotic take by an asshat with an agenda and $8. This isn't debate, it is idiocy.

Trump finally got a majority of voters in Georgia to vote for him!

(a grand jury needs a majority of votes to indict.)

When I moved to America, I was surprised by the amount of fees. Fees to pick up garbage, visit a doctor, and drive on most highways.

The country I lived in had higher taxes, but almost no fees.

Americans seem dumb when it comes to taxes and fees.

Corporations invented Jaywalking to pass the problem of death by vehicle from the manufacturer to the victim. Corporations invented the concept of Litterbug to shift blame from the makers of trash to the disposers of trash. Corporations invented the concept of the personal carbon footprint to shift the blame from the makers of carbon to the users of carbon.

This is just the same thing. Corporations are good at this.

Oil and gas companies are awesome at branding. We need to be better. We should name the heatwaves after oil companies.

We should also name the hurricane season. So the Exxon Mobile Heatwave, and the British Petroleum Hurricane Season. The Suncor Forest Fires.

etc.

Welcome to the British Petroleum summer heat wave. Next up is the Exxon Mobile Hurricane season.

Fun fact about the Exxon Mobile Hurricane Season, oil and gas platforms can get insurance against a storm in the Exxon Mobile Hurricane Season, but homeowners in Louisiana can't get any homeowners insurance due to the expected severity of the named storms in the Exxon Mobile Hurricane Season.

He controls 10K satellites, the electric car charging infrastructure, and a massive global communications platform. He's too big to control. Good thing we hero-worshipped him for years. 🫢 🤭

They're coming for your guns healthcare. Next is your contraceptives.

FWIW, they came for your porn in many GOP-controlled states.

Candidate Trump needs to be belligerent and defiant. Defendant Trump needs to STFU.

The problem is those two things are in competition. So he has to say, Russia, Russia, Russia as candidate Trump, but that isn't a relevant or useful argument for defendant Trump. He has to say, "I'm allowed to do this thing" as candidate Trump, but as defendant Trump, I'm allowed to break the law is not a defense.

His only hope is to delay. If he goes to trial on anything, defendant Trump loses. If he can hold out, then candidate Trump will win.

This is his bet. He wins and it all goes away and the US is ruled by a guy who believes he can get away with anything.

Take a moment to admire the marketing of the gun manufacturers for a minute. Like, imagine someone having 47 toasters.

Gun Manufacturers and the NRA (same thing) are good at what they do.

'Kids Online Safety Act' will deliberately target trans content, senator admits

The 2024 election will be a referendum on the rule of law.

Does it matter?

Does it matter that Trump is accused of butchering it? Does it matter that Alabama is ignoring a SCOTUS ruling it doesn't like?

Are we for laws or not? Big moment for America, as you don't come back from being not for laws right away.

The two indictments about Jan 6th and the plot to use fake electors offer a detailed look at a conspiracy. This isn't just mob talk about "it would be awesome if this happened" – there is evidence of a coordinated effort to create fake electors and attempt to steal an election. The act of creating fake electors is a crime. The conspiracy to create fake electors is a crime.

All of these things are a crime. The problem is, in America, people who have power are held to a higher standard. Trump will get all sorts of concessions, and slow this down like mad. What he also has is an entire network carrying water for him. Because of Fox News – which was started to avoid another Nixon, he gets to both sides this.

The ref just cut the head off of Liverpool's defense much like the Newcastle owner once did to a journalist.

He has to, take a look at what is coming in Texas. He has to fight imaginary things because reality is indefensible.
