@tsp

I did catch him chuckle to himself, though as he left the store.

Maybe it was reminder of a bygone time when he did something similar himself.

Under fire, Rick Scott changes plan to exempt Social Security, Medicare from sunsetting (msn.com)
In other words everything

After taking relentless fire from President Joe Biden, Democrats and even fellow Republicans, Scott has amended Point Six of his plan, which includes the sunset proposal, to make "specific exceptions of Social Security, Medicare, national security, veterans benefits, and other essential services."

I wonder how long it will be until we learn that world renowned economist Andy Ogles became a fake cop fighting international sex trafficking in hopes of getting inside information on any evidence law enforcement may have on his, um, “business”?

I also look forward to his forthcoming book “I Call My Mother ‘Sis.’”

@txlawyer

This MSJ is a gangster move. It’s not going to be granted

I’m sure you’re correct… but, damn, it doesn’t leave a lot of room for “we didn’t do it!” I expect that Dominion, even if they don’t get a summary judgment, is going to end up getting a ruling severely limiting the facts that remain in dispute ahead of a jury trial. The pressure on Rupert to settle must be fairly intense, at this point.

@txlawyer

it’s a 200-page shot across Rupert’s bow that says they are absolutely going to fuck up his shit at trial

And, I’d argue they’ve already started fucking up his shit, and that the beatings are going to continue until morale improves, or, you know, very hefty checks are written.

Shortly after the ruling, Lake tweeted: “I told you we would take this case all the way to the Arizona Supreme Court, and that’s exactly what we are going to do. Buckle up, America!”

And then asked for donations. The grift must be good.

@jwbuho

in addition to her tryst with him, she’s not also using this line of attack on Dinesh D’Souza.

Ann Coulter and Dinesh D’Sousa!

Desperate move by both.

[becca656]

She’s going to drain her supporters of everything, but I bet it doesn’t stop with the AZ-SC.

What’s the make-up of the AZ-SC (does she have any chance with them)? And failing the AZ-SC, does she have standing to appeal to SCOTUS?

@occamscoin

The NYT article mentions a Thursday defense filing, but doesn’t link to the document:

It would be weird AF to file a summary judgment response the same day as the summary judgment. So I’m clearly missing something here.

@justruss

Kudos though that the Air Force could take out an object, mostly of gas that is only 32 inches in width at that altitude.

Thanks to the R scream machine, now our adversaries know more about our radar and intercept capabilities.

@teenlaqueefa

They got caught with their pants down and nothing will happen.

Funny how the on air talent weren’t down with the up and up reporting of the actual reporters. A house/business model divided can’t report on the truth.

…until the republicans return to control.

Which is why I want to see what the defense filed Thursday, assuming NYT isn’t making a mistake.

Now, if we could just get the majors to stop subsidizing Faux, what a wonderful world.

What a beautiful world, this will be
What a glorious time to be free
What a beautiful world, this will be (ooh, ah)

Those quotes in the Dominion filing from the talking heads at Fox need to be read out loud at every diner in Ohio. “Hey, Cletus! You know how you think the coastal elites look down on you, and think you’re imbeciles? It’s true! Look at what even Fox thinks of you!”

I know the quotes are mainly about Sydney Powell and Giuliani etc., but by extension it would include the Cletuses (Cleti?) who all believed Powell and Mitchell and Giuliani.

What do we make of this?

Why is South Africa's navy joining exercises with Russia and China?

A White House spokesperson said in January: “The United States has concerns about any country… exercising with Russia as Russia wages a brutal war against Ukraine.”

South Africa previously abstained from a UN vote condemning the invasion. It also refused to join the US and Europe in imposing sanctions on Russia.

The South African government sparked a political row when it gave permission for a superyacht called the Nord, which is linked to the sanctioned Russian oligarch Alexey Mordashov, to dock in Cape Town - although it is thought the vessel did not actually go there.

The sanctioned Russian cargo ship, Lady R, was also allowed to unload supplies at a South African naval base. The government said it contained a delayed order for ammunition.

Joe would first have to remove Moscow Mitch’s lapti.
