  1. https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/tom-homan-cash-contracts-trump-doj-investigation-rcna232568
  2. The NBC news story I just heard from the wife is insane. They have Homan dead to rights on bribery.
  3. Wanna get me in the streets with torches and pitchforks? This is how.
  4. They are going to up the social security age to something that suits the interests of the oligarchs.
  5. This is the kind of slump a young team will go through. Sometimes youth isn't everything.
  6. Trump Claims Excessive Criticism of Him on TV Is ‘Illegal’ and ‘No Longer Free Speech’
  7. People will have to reevaluate their retirement planning now that the MAGAs have decided they may NOT retire.
  8. Chances of this being an extrajudicial killing by fellow inmate are higher than a straight sentencing for the death penalty.
  9. Very interesting!
  10. Nov 2026 cannot get here soon enough.
  11. I mean the absolute corrupt nature of all of this is obvious but maybe its more important to be nice to the racists because.
  12. You never know what is going to be the thing. People can see this in real time as an dagger to the heart of the US Constitution and Trump keeps doubling and tripling down on his power play. Lets hope this galvanizes the libertarian side to join Team Norms and Rule of Law.
  13. Cmon Carp...pick up the HP umpire here.
  14. We've got a lot of pitching in the infirmary for sure.
  15. @MotownWebGuywhat is up with the embeds?
  16. I'm sad that the company that puts out Andor is involved in this crap. Post by @sarahposner.bsky.social — Bluesky
  17. I get the original argument that what is "legal" within a state operating with no regard to International Law and human rights isn't actually legal and can be punished by international courts like the Nuremburg and Tokyo Trials.
  18. almost as if the people that pay them are in a file of some sort that could prove embarrassing.
  19. The fractured nature of the political opposition to this current nuttery is def a problem. I hope a bright light answer emerges by Nov 2028.
  20. 80 years of Holocaust scholarship have been a pitched battle over various questions. Few Holocaust scholars except the denialists would say it wasn't "legal" in Nazi Germany given the Nuremburg Laws and subsequent directives of the Final Solution. Here is a helpful list of historians and celebrities who support that denialist position (see Kanye West): Who's Who of Holocaust Denial | ADL The other main argument was between the "Functionalists" and the "Intentionalists" Functionalism–intentionalism debate - Wikipedia Put into a bumper sticker: Functionalists: To some degree the Nazis hated Jews but the actual Final Solution was more part of various organs of power slipping into the decision to commit genocide because it seemed to fit with the overall war or just they felt they were interpreting Hitler and other leading Nazi's views. Intentionalists: Hitler may have never signed any directive but everything that happened was because he wanted it to happen. The degree to which these battles were fought and were tinged with political hues of left/right etc. And to which some of the best scholars (e.g., Raul Hilberg) were tainted because they were somehow less tough on the Nazis for being "Functionalists" is just weird in hindsight. Hilberg wrote a MASSIVE accounting of the process of the Holocaust which is an amazing document. Just a massive tesseract of historical work. He counted each train, each arrival, each order he could find. He knew all about the size and shape of the Holocaust. At the end of the day...my heart is in both academic camps and despairs of the conflict. Clearly Hitler was sociopathic toward the Jews and none of this would have happened if he had not wanted it to happen.
  21. They did that on Constitution Day to prove a point.
