The ones committing the violence in the name of politics is the far left.
Soooo many Lefties were found (and arrested) at the Jan 6 Capitol insurrection.
You know, just because you say a thing doesn't make it a fact. (Although doing that does appear to be a hallmark of fascists in general, and MAGAts in particular.)
Nope. In blind isolation to just this case would be ignorance of the lawfare effort against him.
OK, bring it on, junky. Where's the evidence of the newly neologized phrase "lawfare"? Per wikipedia, the term means the "use of legal systems and institutions to damage or delegitimize an opponent, or to deter individual's usage of their legal rights." Well, show me the money. For example, explain to the class where Florida Man's legal rights are being deterred? One could easily make the case that he is getting special treatment beyond that over which you and I would be afforded in similar, or even lesser, circumstances. (No travel restrictions, still got his passport, no ankle bracelet GPS tracker, no monetary bond, etc.). Or, perhaps you'd like to take a shot at the crux of your claim, that the shady "deep state conspiracy" (or, if you'd like bonus points, you could use proper names), is primarily out to "damage or delegitimize" Florida Man. To do that, you'd have to demonstrate that F.M. was not guilty of any of the things he's been charged with1, and that these were indeed trumped-up charges (see what I did there?). All the while ignoring the fact that he continues to poll very well with the MAGAts, and certainly has not been hobbled in his fund raising efforts, either.
So you'll pardon me if I'm not willing to believe your cry of "lawfare" on face value. Now if you could come up with some credible evidence of lawfare, we could have a conversation at a level that transcends the "Neener, neener" level that you seem to want to degrade this to. But in the absence of any such evidence, one can only perceive that your bumper-sticker responses are merely the bleatings of one whose hero has been shown to not be of the character and moral fiber that one so desperately insists his hero must have.
Looking forward to your response, junky. Will be interesting to see if you can indeed meet the challenge. (Popcorn is at the ready, incase you can't).
1But, of course, that is the job of a jury to determine. Do you not have faith in the American system of justice; that you would supplant it with your own dictums?
"How about...". "What about..." But didn't they...". Blah, Blah, Blah. Yadda, yadda, yadda. Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit!
This has nothing to do with Hunter, or Hillary, or Dianne, or Nancy, or Richard M., or (either) George, or whatever weak straw- or bogeyman you wish to present. It has to do with Donald, (a.k.a. Florida Man), period. A salient debate would be as to whether he did the things he was charged with, and what the evidence shows about this case, and no other. So you trolls could raise your game, and dig into that. That you won't, but insist on playing the "look over there...Squirrel!" game, tends to imply that you can't. Go ahead, prove me wrong by raising your game, and providing cogent debate. I'll hang up and listen for my answer.
But to be the source of training data for Micros~1 is yet another. Although this should really not surprise anyone (and would have been assumed by savvy users anyhow).
And users actually pay for the "privilege" of being grist for the mill. Ain't Corporate America grand?
Trump must have been furious when he heard what happened, and sacked the fool responsible immediately. Except that it seems like he didn't. Funny for a guy who hires "only the best people".
...and loves to (publicly) fire people.
Title elided because something about it being too long?
In both cases, the papers were asked to be returned. Biden returned all documents, Trump lied and said he returned them. They asked a 2nd and 3rd time, and Trump kept lieing and saying "what documents". It took an FBI raid to finally remove the documents from Trump. Do you see how that is different?
Of course he does, but this is a fine case of not letting the truth get in the way of a good story.
Must. Suppress. Cognitive. Dissonance. Must. Suppress....
So the trade watchdog put out a call for "real comments from real people" [...]
Regardless, the trade groups will simply fire up ChatGPT to create as many thousands of individual "comments" as they think they need to poison the well. Does anyone here believe that the FTC, even with the best of intentions, will be able to filter out the bullshit from the industry groups?
That's a surprise. Now that blockchain has been supplanted by generative AI as the tech fad du jour, the only reason they ever had for contrivedly forcing the former into their game- whether or not it made sense- is gone.
Sure. So they will install "generative AI" into the game, which will hallucinate and modify the games such that no one can win...thereby making it so that there will be no need for these NFT that everyone is banging on about.
The author is an increasingly grumpy old git, whose shortsightedness is not improving with age. As such, we long for the complete banishment of trendy flat UIs. We would welcome a return to skeuomorphic, fake-3D buttons, scrollbars and other controls, but perhaps that is no longer feasible as upstream projects move to newer versions of Gtk and other toolkits that have removed support for such things.
Amen, Liam, amen!
Now take yer flat-ass icons 'n' buttons 'n' 50 shades of grey, and git offa my lawn!
All you have to understand is that this Supreme Court is nothing but politicians in robes. If the case at hand has to do with the current "culture wars", then expect a political finding. For those that are run of the mill legal imbroglios, they fall back to their (often secondary) legal backgrounds, and provide a reasonable ruling...sometimes.
Now, if the run of the mill case can be converted, via some form of pretzel logic, into a culture wars issue, count on at least three of the so-called Justices to revert to their political selves. (I think you can figure out which 3...)
