Riven
[riv-uhn]
noun
1. a gaming, lifting, shooting, intoxicated, ravenous, and happily-taken nerd.
2. often aims to misbehave.
3. and though she be but little, she is fierce.*
And rumor has it that she (and her husband) are also delightful dinner companions. You didn't hear it from me, though.
Did anyone bring marshmallows to roast tonight?
I’m still very glad he was acquitted.
Wasn’t he Birdman?
An ornithologist?
Actually, he’s now known as BirdPerson.
PhoenixPerson!
Yes. And the Batman parallels / in-jokes were a-plenty.
So was Gary Cole.
Attorney at Law.
I miss that show.
He looked so much shorter on Different Strokes.
That video is glorious. Was John Kerry their manager?
Morning.
“My husband only just showed this to me for the first time. I’m rethinking the whole relationship because he was clearly holding out on me all this time.”
I don’t know about that, but if he didn’t tell you about Boney M, that’s grounds for divorce.
Best comment: Truly, the best season of Power Rangers. No one was a better Red Ranger then Jack Sparrow Santa Claus
For Mojeaux: Boney M Christmas music
Although I dig the outfits, that song is one of many Christmas songs I don’t like. See: “Feliz Navidad”, “Mele Kalikimaka”, “SoThis is Christmas”, Bowie/Crosby’s “Little Drummer Boy”. I’m sure I’ll think of others.
Um Gottes willen….

I missed that, and I’m in the DFW area. That’s a sad turn of events, but not surprising. Dallas is not the type of place you want to be walking around with $100K in cash. Whoever was in charge of acclimating them to American life should have told them that keeping your savings in cash is not a safe move.
And in the car, no less. That’s just begging for it….
Dallas Police detectives are investigating but not ready to release any information about possible leads or suspects.
Prediction: Dallas Police will do jack and shit here.
I know. I’m going out on a limb here.
Éowyn, with her “I am no man” line, is undoubtedly the first name who comes to mind when you think of strong female characters from Lord of the Rings.
Yep. Galadriel works too.
“Yep. Galadriel works too.”
She was a bit testy IIRC
That’s a really good name for someone working on the LotR trilogy in any capacity. Kind of like the Jacksonville Jaguar whose last name is Manhertz. A little on the nose, perhaps, but appropriate.
Hey did you guys here that Rittenhouse was acquitted?
The Imperial Wizard who gunned down women and children as they prayed for peace?
What if they threw a riot and all of the law-abiding citizens brought their AR-15s?
The next round of acquittals wouldn’t have any rioting.
“Mostly peaceful” would involve a lot less combustion.
The law-abiders would be charged with ‘menacing’ while the arsonists and thugs would be let out in an hour and not charged.
I dont understand why no one ever mentions that the Bolsheviks pulled this exact same shit prior to their revolution. Get officials on your side, riot, burn loot and murder. This is some kind of chickenshit commie revolution they are trying to crank up.
You graduate couple generations of ideologues, they assume positions of authority, eventually everyone is either a true believe or cowed by such, and now we are a nation in thrall to progressives.
No; I there that Rittenhouse was acquitted.
I so wish there was an edit button.
Also, correcting mistakes is white supremacy.
I wish their was an edit button too.
I love getting shit canned and watching that music video. Truly one of my faves.
And Melee is smash perfection. The first was good and the sequels after melee have just been attempts to reach the peak that was melee. Although I still love playing as wario in brawl and ultimate.

“Éowyn, with her “I am no man” line, is undoubtedly the first name who comes to mind when you think of strong female characters from Lord of the Rings.”
I’m not good with names, but I would’ve said the lady who refuses the ring.
Checks wiki: Galadriel.
Éowyn is definitely the most kick-butt of the three women prominently featured in LOTR.
Absolutely true, but refusing the ring is more of a baller move, IMO.
Yes, because she herself was the bearer of a Ring of Power and knew better than most what that Power could do, and would be more susceptible to the One Ring’s effects because of her adjustment to the other ring, she showed an incredible amount of restraint, somewhat less so than Gandalf, but extreme in her self control.

Yes. His name was gaige Grosskreuitz (sp, whatever)
I wonder which one he is most upset about?
You cant have my gun Bill, you fuckwit. You think we dont know what you are up to? Fuck you.
Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum are victims.
No, they were assailants.
chose to take a gun across state lines and start shooting people.
Maliciously factually inaccurate.
DING DING DING. I pointed that out to a coworker as well. The victim was KR who had to defend his life against four assailants. They were gobsmacked and opened and closed their mouth like a carp in a drying up pool of water.
Some people cannot grok self defense.

Heard recently on an old O&A clip: Colin Quinn’s sitcom idea. It’s a takeoff of Honeymooners that starts on that day.
There was allegedly an episode written like that for the original. It got the kibosh for obvious reasons.
Quinn describes Ralph like a Harvey Keitel character in this version.
Admittedly this sounds better heard rather than described.
Question-
If rittenhouse attends tonight’s riots and ends up shooting a rioter in self defense, and then ends up getting exonerated in another murder trial that causes another round of riots that rittenhouse decides to attend…
Is there a chance we could end up in some kind of time loop?
Unfortunately I think the kid is gonna go home and sleep for about 3 days.
That’d be my plan, except I’d check into a nice hotel for a few days, using someone else’s credit card. I’m sure the mob has Kyle’s home address by now.
I would skip town and spend a couple of weeks in some obscure paradise where no one could find me because the mob like EvilSheldon pointed out are relentless and out for blood.
Counterpoint: he has an ar-15
And has shown a willingness to use it.
Appropriately, with a calm and control that deserves a Toxic Masculinity entry to the site.
As pointed out above, I would suspect “mostly peaceful” would start to look a lot different.

Dude’s got mad Nike cash.
True. I can already predict his legal defense…
“Your honor, my client has compared playing in the NFL to slavery, yet has no problem taking money from a company that uses nearly actual slave labor in China. Clearly he’s insane and should not be held responsible for what stupidity his brain produces.”
It will never buy a place in the NFL Hall of Fame. Was he ever even a Pro-bowler?
A white kid kills 3 other white people in clear cut self defense, and it’s white supremacy that ensured his release.

May your cup overflow with busty babes young one.
I hope the anti-Rittenhouse people do not protest violently. I want this to be over, and I think probably most people in Kenosha want it to be over, as well.
The weather forecast for tonight has it being cold–but not Wisconsin cold–and windy tonight in Kenosha, so hopefully that will tamp down on any protests.
Hopefully actually enforcing the laws this time will help.
That would go a long way toward preventing a repeat.
The fact this trial occurred in the late autumn, rather than, say, late summer or early autumn, is probably beneficial.
I also don’t think there will be violent protests after a trial where a kid got off zipping several violent protestors.
Alternatively, it could embolden people without Rittenhouse’s relative level of restraint to go out and try to police the riots, with far worse outcomes.
What needs to happen is nothing. Calm, calm, nothing.
Nope, they will use it as a catalyst because the media is dumping so much fucking fuel on them right now.
I’ve gotten to the point where rioters should be shot on sight. Legitimately peaceful protest? Great. 1A your stupid little asses off. Break something, set a fire, assault someone… BLAM. These commie shitstains want a revolution, make sure they know what that means and what they better prepare for.
Might want to read Andrew Branca before you start popping rioters.
I am so glad they brought him in on that panel. That guy is sharp.
I’m not talking citizens, I’m talking NatGuard. Violent, armed insurrections; actual insurrections, y’know mobs burning cities down for political purposes, are why the NatGuard exists.
I am old enough to remember back when at least looters were shootable.

If its cold out, they can keep warm by burning the town.
Coincidentally, I ran into a Twitter thread earlier denigrating the Galadriel ring offer scene from the Jackson movie, and someone posted the animated version as a better depiction… but I really like the Jackson version. Maybe it’s melodramatic on Galadriel’s part, but she’s impressing on Frodo the singularness of his mission… whereas in the animated film (which admittedly I haven’t seen) she comes off as another Tom Bombadil, not really affected by the power or seduction of the ring. The stakes seem altogether lower.
Frodo spent the rest of his life spanking off thinking about her.
It’s Cate Blanchett – acceptable.
That’s about as good as Frodo is ever gonna get.
+1
Are you kidding? Frodo crossed the sea. He’s banging all kinds of elvish strange.
Can you imagine the fame that guy would have? He’d be swimming in wang dang sweet elf ‘tang.
I think they might overlook him.
None of the women really grabbed me as a teenager. They all were and still seem kinda homely. Which I really like about the movies.
That said, a hobbit who’d only ever known hobbit women, and the only pretty hobbit was his gardener’s fiancé? Galadriel would be his giantess hairless foot fetish fantasy for sure.

I am sure Facebook and Twitter are shutting down the coordination right?
I’m fine with any that are actual protests. Knock yourselves out.
Sure…and there will be, but they serve as perfect cover for the idiots that will out and about.
I posted in the last thread… anything Biden does or doesn’t do fucks him equally. He can’t go after Rittenhouse without creating another Kavanaugh debacle… but how does he reconcile the mythmaking among progressives with doing nothing?

Rep. Nadler
@RepJerryNadler

This heartbreaking verdict is a miscarriage of justice and sets a dangerous precedent which justifies federal review by DOJ. Justice cannot tolerate armed persons crossing state lines looking for trouble while people engage in First Amendment-protected protest.
You are correct Nadler, just probably not in the way you think. DOJ should be all over that State AG’s office wonder why they have prosecutors that have no problem violating citizens’ rights in open court.
Everything else you just said, which is very evident was crowd-sourced is a fucking lie and you couldn’t help yourself.
Democrats are the enemy.
Okay then.
Show me the person who was shot and was merely engaging in 1A protected protest, and not willful property destruction or threatening others via a gun of his own.
One of the takes from an acquaintance on Facebook:
Let me get this straight.
You can purchase an automatic rifle illegally, cross state lines, ignore a mandated curfew, walk by police and shoot 3 people, killing 2 and wounding the third, and be found not guilty. If you are white.
12-year-old Tamir Rice had a toy gun and was murdered by police. No charges filed.
Why is it that the instigators of violence continue to claim victimhood and people acquit them? The judicial system in this country makes me sick.
Totes an apples to apples comparison.
Totes.
Tamir Rice was playing with a toy gun in front of his house and the piece of shit police officer opened fire.
Rittenhouse was going to Kenosha to blunt the effects of a group of people who were set on destruction and had to defend himself from being attacked by three men. Three white men.
The Tamir Rice case still gets regular protests here. The asshole cop has been barred from returning to the force and stripped of his pension (IIRC). He still deserves to spend more time in jail then Rittenhouse did.
Like, no doubt they’re literally exactly the same.
That’s a lot wrong in just a few sentences.
There is no getting through to them
Let me get this straight.
After which he proceeds to get everything wrong.
And if you would have gone out, found independent media covering it, you would have been put straight. Cause you just spouted off 1-year-old talking points. And Tamir Rice was a travesty. If you took your head out of your ass, you’d realize you have allies on your side regarding that.
Being an ally means that you have to believe and eat their shit without questioning their logic.
This is the point that needs to be made. There is no “getting things straight” when there are only “approved” sources of information, opinion, and analysis.
People like this guy are so terribly ignorant, and it’s their own fault. Because they choose to ignore objective facts, they will never get anything straight. But that’s not their goal: to confirm their own opinions is their goal.
It’s also why people like us (and this site) need to always be on guard against creating our own impenetrable bubbles and keeping our own “facts.” No one’s immune, but I think that because this community, for example, has such a wide variety of opinions and backgrounds, and that we do know the dangers, that we are able to a large degree to beware our own fallibility.
Comment Flagged
100% agreed. I liked that Rekieta and Friends addressed that cause they were getting pressure it was a lawyer circle jerk for Rittenhouse. Same here, it is easy to just be one of us.
He’s one of those people that I see at friend’s get togethers or weddings and we get along well enough, but his political philosophy is terrible and he’s a fucking partisan hack. I used to argue politics with him all the time but came to the conclusion that he lacks the humility to look outside his own view of the world along with believing that anyone who holds an opinion different from his are at best stupid and at worst evil.
We are not a bubble. We still have people that defend deep dish FFS. They cannot be reasoned with.
Those fucking people.
With Pineapple,
/Guilty as charged
You know why so many people get killed in Chicago, Suthen? Deep Dish Pizza. It’s just that good. Someone brings home a double stacked pizza, and the local gangs all want a slice.
Admittedly, as Yusef alluded to, putting pineapple on anything labeled pizza is a horrific offense.
There are worse Scandinavian casseroles.
Hot dish!
As a matter of principle I am going to disagree.

Is there really that much difference between the willfully misinformed and the outright insane?

I concur.
Even our ‘allies’ from across the pond are just as bad.
This took that and made a headline of “Kyle Rittenhouse attorney says he wishes he ‘never met’ client”
I welcome the media to continue down this path to bury themselves.
I listened to the live interview, and would have put money down on that being a pull quote taken out of context.
It’s pretty sad when you can hear/read a quote in context, and know just exactly what the media is going to show in service if its narrative.

The leftist meltdowns today aren’t quite as good as the Trump election, but I’ve had fun.
Having watched the Rekieta Law live stream for the last three days (never watched any livestreaming before), I’m convinced that we could pull together a great commentary from the GlibZoom crew, but none of us would actually want to show our faces publicly.
Maybe for midterm election coverage?
I threw put on a late night thread that we could do it via twitch

Of course, the outcome was moot as Rittenhouse would have been freed regardless with The First That Will Change Everything.

Sloppy carry. Lucky no one was hurt.
I read that as “Sloopy Carry” and wondered he carries a purse?
I mean, he *does* drive a Porsche.
The Rittenhouse affair has gotten me thinking about the culpability of social media in spreading the lies we’ve been seeing about him and, as a result, about Section 230. I’ve got a question for the law’s supporters. Say you had person A accuse person B of a horrible crime. Now, person A has pretty much nothing to his name. But, for whatever reason, Facebook decides to promote the hell out of person A’s accusations, putting the accusation on everyone’s news feed and keeping it there. So, everyone sees it. And when Person B goes onto Facebook to defend himself, he finds that he gets banned. And anyone else trying to defend him finds their defense removed. Person B’s wife divorces him. His kids’ lives become a living hell. He loses his job. He’s basically ruined. But, Person B goes to court and proves that person A was lying through his teeth. And his compensation is…nothing. As I said, person A doesn’t have anything to his name. Meanwhile Facebook keeps up Person A’s original accusation. What’s person B’s recourse with regards to Facebook? If we say, “It’s a private company and they can publish whatever the hell they want and give them liability protection because they weren’t the author of the accusation,” it strikes me as nothing. But, that clearly isn’t right.
For all their best efforts, social media became the number one tool for people to view the evidence themselves. Yea, a lot of lies were spread and there was clear institutional bias from big tech, but we would have been left with mostly just the media’s narrative without it. The videos of what happened were online and spreading almost instantly because of Twitter.
There are several ways in which I believe sufficient evidence exists that the actions of the major tech companies of late have exceeded the protections of Section 230 of the CDA:
– The first is the choice to promote content, which is not protected. This constitutes endorsement while only moderation is actually protected. If defamatory content is knowingly promoted, then I think the platform bears some liability for it.
– The next is the bad-faith decision-making processes they have exhibited. Content that violates policy can be censored, and people can be disciplined for policy violations, but targeting people because you hate them is not simply good-faith moderation, and thus is IMO not protected.
– Colluding with each other, and with outside organizations, to engage in campaigns of targeted harassment doesn’t even begin to fall under the protections of Section 230. A company is not immune to liability for the actions of its own employees.
– Moreover, failing to protect confidential identities and other information sufficiently, leading to targeted harassment by others, may also constitute actionable negligence, even if the data wasn’t leaked willfully, or the employee who did the leaking acted alone.
Obligatory disclaimer: IANAL
The most obvious way is that they are arbiters of truth. Not only by censoring, but by adding content of which they are the authors, such as all of the annotations that Biden won the election.
That is a good fifth plank, though they are quite weaselly when they do it. “Reputable sources say”, “Experts agree”, etc.
Regardless, they are the creators of that content, not just its host.

“It’s just not safe to terrorize neighborhoods with arson and looting anymore.”
As opposed to riots in states like New York, Maryland, New Jersey, and Massachussetts, where the right to carry in self defense is so severely curtailed that no one but the rioters themselves feels safe?
It is a very effective deterrent for both tyrants and criminals. Yes, it works. If it did not then tyrants would not be relentlessly trying to disarm us.
Violent criminals in prison would not answer the question “What is the number one factor in your choosing a victim?” with “If I think they have a gun I choose someone else.”.
Yes, it works. That is why it is so hated.

Crispy bacon > floppy bacon.

Chewy bacon >>> crispy bacon >>>>>> raw bacon
Chewy bacon, or it’s just trash.
“Chewy bacon”
I used to think you were a cool person…
I, too, feel misled. Nay, betrayed.
May I try to be the mitigator? We all love bacon. Because bacon. And some of us love it crispy, and some love it floppy, but it’s bacon. It makes almost any dish better, or you can eat it straight up.
Could we all just coalesce behind our love for bacon and accept that if it’s been cooked to a point where it’s 165° F for 10 minutes, it’s good enough for consumption?
On a sammich I like crispy bacon because you get a clean break with the bite. I like it just shy of crispy when eating it alone.
Pork chops are done in butter in a cast iron skillet with salt/pepper/garlic or Weber Mesquite seasoning. I don’t think I have used rosemary.
This is the correct answer. The other answer are wrong.
Ditto.
Pork chops are done in butter in a cast iron skillet with salt/pepper/garlic

Yes, she is. ( Since you’re in that mode. Breaking my own rule about accepting only the original.)
Ha! Knew it before I clicked.
Also, you are correct re: crispy bacon. And the fattier the better!
This. I don’t like the meaty parts so much.
I have known people that like chewy bacon. Seems we have some of those weirdos here.
Ok, I admit, if chewy is all you have it is far superior to no bacon.
So it seems world’s biggest scumbag Jerry Nadler is already calling for the DOJ to look into the Rittenhouse situation, no doubt hoping they can file federal charges against the kid. He must pay!
Commerce clause!!1!
This is what I fear is next up.
The mob is braying for blood. The statists see an opportunity to grab guns and forward their “America is Racist” narrative to divide the populace.
Justice is dying out.
Heh.
Big L for Black Rifle Coffee Cucks.
I have no idea what that refers to.
other than the coffee company itself. What happened to them?
I seem to recall something coming out that their whole shtick was an affection.
Too pro-2A for anti-2A proponents; too anti-Kyle for most 2A proponents. Now their market is people who don’t follow news stories.
Far too many “pro 2A” types are really “pro 2A for people I like, those other people can fuck right off”
I’m looking at you, Tamara Keel.
For all his uncountably many flaws, Davey the Yankee Marshall is at least consistent in his “2A is for everyone.”
BRCC was heavily anti-Kyle in some of their pre-trial pronouncements. My brother sent me a link to several posters on the AR-15 thread trolling them.
ooops on them. Do they not know who buys their product?
Nobody now. ha ha ha ha ha
Poor decision when they should have just said nothing.
The veteran-founded coffee company had distanced itself from Rittenhouse after the teenager took a post-bail photo wearing a Black Rifle Coffee T-shirt and BlazeTV host Elijah Schaffer posted the photo along with the caption, “Kyle Rittenhouse drinks the best coffee in America.” …
The company’s CEO Evan Hafer also issued a statement disavowing any relationship with Rittenhouse that said, “We do not sponsor nor do we have a relationship with the 17-year-old facing charges in Kenosha, WI.” …
Hafer acknowledged its disavowal of Rittenhouse may have cost the company customers but said it allowed the company to “draw a line in the sand,” according to the Times article.
‘It’s such a repugnant group of people,” Hafer told the Times. “It’s like the worst of American society, and I got to flush the toilet of some of those people that kind of hijacked portions of the brand.”
Liberty Doll on how they continued to shit the bed.
stupid stupidity
Or they could have stopped at “we don’t sponsor him”. Because that is what any executive who knows what he’s doing would say.
This. Reading that summary, I went from thinking “this is reasonable” to “you’re putting your foot in your mouth” to “fuck you”.
“We are not affiliated…the loss of life is tragic…we have no comment but we will observe the facts as they appear…etc.”
Literally anything is better than throwing your clientele under the bus. ///ReadTheRoom
It’s such a repugnant group of people,
I could swear I read a follow-up that was the Times taking that statement out of context.
Here it is
https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/matt-margolis/2021/07/20/black-rifle-coffee-did-not-go-woke-founder-responds-to-misinformation-n1463031
Didn’t sit through that whole thing, but claims the Times took quotes out of context (context was Hafer was referring to anti-semites)
(Loesch = totally wood)
Nice shirt on LD in that video.
The primary problem with BRCC is that their coffee is shit.
The sad transparent marketing to the RIGHT ON BORTHER!!! crowd is just icing on the cake.
I’ve made the mistake of trying to watch the Celtics-Lakers game. The sportscasters are lamenting the Rittenhouse acquittal. One of them pointed out how the ‘protest’ was in response to the police killing Jacob Blake, and another one had to remind him that Blake wasn’t actually killed. Didn’t stop the first guy from rambling on about the injustice of it all anyway.
Now Stephen A Smith is giving us his idiotic two cents. Rittenhouse had no right to be there, etc. Plus Trayvon Martin died at the hands of a wannabe cop. Plus the poor beleaguered prosecution being berated by the evil Klansman judge.
Fuck.
When did sports commentators start believing they were political commentators? How many people actually like having a heaping helping of politics in their sports?
It’s crazy. Go to any sports page and you’d think you’re at Salon. If anything, they’re worse than so-called straight news reporters.
In a “free country” Rittenhouse and anyone else has the right to be in whatever city they want, when they want, motherfucker.
Stephen A Smith can go blow his own dad for nickels.
Plus Trayvon Martin died at the hands of a wannabe cop.
Out of context and irrelevant.
Plus the poor beleaguered prosecution being berated by the evil Klansman judge.
I do not inhabit the same reality as these people.
Aren’t sportscasters supposed to comment on, you know, sports?
Tulsi weighs in with the right response.

Too bad she’s politically homeless.
The video is better. Well, for me anyway. ///SimpingForTulsi
If that only would change her 2A views, I might vote for her for President.
Because these things are the same…
Travyon Martin was an unarmed 17-year-old kid. He was killed carrying a bag of skittles. The right-wing called him a threat.
Kyle Rittenhouse was 17 years old and armed. He shot and killed 2 people with an AR-15. The right-wing calls him a hero.
Someone never got the details of either incident I suppose.
Context, details, facts do not matter.
You know damn well that if Kyle Rittenhouse were Black he would have been found guilty in a heartbeat—or shot dead by cops on the scene.
Unity/healing/etc…
This kind of shit is so dumb it’s not even worth reading, much less worrying about. There’s no chance of convincing people who write shit like that they’re wrong, so getting worked up about it it pointless.
Not worked up about it. But I do find it fascinating and it does matter because people like Castro have an audience. It is either willful ignorance or lying. Not sure which is worse.
I think it IS worth worrying about. These types have followers and they are tearing the country apart.
Anyone else notice how Rittenhouse’s attorneys (not the woman, though) were showing heavy stress before the verdicts were read, while he was focused and listening intently to everything?
They were concerned about a guilty verdict, otherwise they wouldn’t have asked for a run of the mill mistrial. Maybe they just comprehended the possible implications of an extended deliberation better than Rittenhouse did.
Just Mark Richards it seemed…but I think they knew it was aquit
The memes are flowing tonight.

Ha!
Meh, everyone can celebrate the verdict all day long. As long as TMITE and tons and tons of people believe the lies that social media propagates, with no regard to truth and facts, nothing has been won on this day.
A jury gave the correct answer in the face of many clear threats. That is not nothing.
Believing media propaganda is nothing new though. Remember the Maine!
In addition to a victory for justice, seeing the terrible reactions of so many people helps clarify where things truly stand. I’d rather people at large see that before they are disarmed than after. Anyone interested in the truth can easily find it, which will help separate them from those peddling lies.
Revolver News had a sobering opinion piece on it. Kyle got lucky getting a Boomer judge who’s in his 70s. Binger on the other hand is a typical soy-boy type. And these types of people are just now coming in to powerful positions throughout the country. It doesn’t bode well for the future.
Anyway their take was “celebrate the win, but this might very well be the last gasp of Justice in this country as we’ve known it”. My initial gladness about the outcome aside, I’m coming to realize just how wrong things had to have gone for this to seem like such a victory.
^^^ That.
Allegedly, two people shot by police at anti-lockdown protest in Holland.

What color were they? What color were the cops? These are all the facts we need.
They were emboldened by the Rittenhouse verdict!
Depending on the combination(s) thereof, we will or will not reveal the answer.

Great thread here:

And this is what they decided to publish and say out loud. If you could see their Slack channels, DMs, texts, emails, and other non-public communications, the picture would be even worse. JournoList was not an isolated incident.

I got too mad after reading about 20% of it. Could
not go on.
How long until Ghislaine Maxwell commits suicide? https://mobile.twitter.com/CassiusCam530/status/1461773487391993856
It is interesting how little interest the media has on this one. It has it all: money, sex, fame, power, victimization, cloak and dagger shit (maybe), trafficking, rape, shattered innocence, and etc. Seems like coverage would get clicks.
Yep, the lack of will for MSM to go into this is very telling, IMO.
They are protecting Democrat politicians.
No doubt.
There’s no racial angle.
FUCK THE ACLU

They could not have a wronger take if they tried. Put them in the “To be sued for defamation” category.
“Kyle Rittenhouse was a juvenile who traveled across state lines…., was allowed by police to roam the streets of Kenosha with an assault rifle and ended up shooting three people and killing two.”
All of which are legal.
And only after he was attacked but they know that of course.
I’d be interested in any GlibLawyer’s informed opinion about what federal complaints there might be against Kyle Rittenhouse? I know most of the attorneys here aren’t in that kind of law, but any thoughts?
The playbook from the sixties was “violating the civil rights of the victims”. But in those cases, there were clear victims.
Given the media narrative that the assailants were “victims” of white supremist, you should expect the DOJ to follow that old path somehow.
I just don’t see it happening.
The process is the punishment.
The process needs to carry over to the 2020 election.
Charges brought by the DOJ will have no connection to anything valid. But they will be politically expedient.
The DOJ would also never spy on concerned parents.
Eh. They got nothing.
They don’t need to have anything. This has been proven over the last five and a half years.
They’ll only embarrass themselves though.
The fed? Embarrass themselves? If the past six years have taught us anything, it’s that the big law is incapable of embarrassment…
So, since I moved away I’m no longer hosting MN Thanksgiving. We are gonna have the four of us plus whomever the kids bring. I asked my wife if she was OK with me not making a turkey this year. Her response:
“Perfect. I fucking hate turkey.”
Rotisserie ribeye roast it is!

Shit. I think I just ended the Zoom meetup.
Yeah, sorry. Link above.
Speaking of LotR, the fake interview by Don Monaghan with Elijah Wood is just terrific.
It’s Dom Monaghan, you twerp.
Well I’m sorry if I get the given name of a two bit character from I show I watched two decades ago wrong.
Merry isn’t a two bit anything, he was a primary character and essential to the Fellowship, and you didn’t get his name wrong, you got the actor’s name wrong. And you’ve watched it quite a bit more recently than that.
Look, just because he touched the Palantir doesn’t make him a principle character. Sean Bean was more essential to the fellowship than fucking Merry.
That was Pippin! Fuck’s sake, did we watch the same movie?
Oh for… they’re the same goddamn character. Which one rides into battle with Eowyn, and which rides on Treebeard? That’s the one I like.
They both did, and it was Merry who rode with Eowyn.
Yeah, well, Sean Bean was more memorable and more pivotal than Merry or Dom.
They’re the same
I KNOW I’M BEING FACETIOUS.
And Sean Bean was the
