The Trial scene from The Wall needs to be redone for the Trump trial

Original

The evidence before the court is inconrovertible; there's no need for the jury to retire.
In all my years of judging, I have never heard before
Of someone more deserving of the full penalty of law
The way you made them suffer, the Swamp and its masters
Fills me with the urge to defecate
(Go on, Judge, shit on him!)
Since, my friend, you have revealed your patriotism
I sentence your country to be subject to Islam

The original penalty is to be exposed before your peers

There must be a Gaza ier joke in there somewhere

Apparently so many people tried to donate to Donald Trump's presidential campaign that it crashed the website. Good job, Democrats!

I haven't read this article because I generally avoid the Washington Post whenever possible. But the headline alone is annoying, mostly because I'm assuming they are going to continue the charade of Russian election interference a la Trump. That arcticle links to another where Chris Wray swears that Putin was trying to help Trump get elected, and the idea that a few thousands links before the election is more serious than decades of Democrats stealing elections through nefarious means just drives me bonkers. 

But the implication is that AI is going to affect the election, instead of recognizing that AI is already messing with search results in Google and it allows the company to say, "Oh, the algorithm did that. We didn't touch it." Pffft. Who wrote the algorithm? Who fed the links into the AI? The parseltongue is insane.

Chinese National Charged With Stealing an Eye-Popping $5.9 Billion in COVID Relief Funds

And I cannot help but think some Democrats also stole money, but decided not to prosecute.

This sounds extremely plausible as to the quality of the Gaza relief pier.

In #7 Occasional Reader said: So: What happens now?

That's a great question. I watched a rant this morning that pointed out we're approaching a point of no return and the Democrats don't care, clearly. But so far I've seen no clear steps on how to walk back from this dangerous precipice we're on--although there are a number of people saying they would crawl over broken glass to vote for Trump now.

And here is one such donor: Former Hillary 2016 Donor Shaun Maguire Explains Why He Contributed $300K To Trump After Today’s Jury Announcement — “My friends are gonna hate me — I’m willing to wade into this fire — Some of us need to be willing to”.

I'm not sure this matters, but Manchin has officially re-registered himself as an independent after yesterday. 

Actually, I'd like to see a LOT of people do exactly this. I think that might send a possible message.

Interesting: Fracking wastewater from Pennsylvania alone could provide 40% of domestic lithium requirements for the US.

Another example of a pharmaceutical firm playing dirty and making bad product. This time, the MMR vaccine. But to learn about this, I had to go a UK site. Come on, US journalists.
