I had no idea that the president of Ukraine was in control of the Russian forces invading the country, if you have proof of this you should probably like, reveal it or something, that would be kind of a big news story!

Love the “you made me do this to you” energy here, very progressive stance of believing that sometimes abusers just have to hit people, and there’s truly nothing that can be done about it.

Hey I have a question. What precipitating circumstances made all of this necessary? Was there like, I dunno, another country that invaded or anything? It sure would change the context of everything you were saying if there was some kind of external event that made these things happen and they aren’t just occurring in a vacuum! Not to mention the stuff you’re just outright lying about, almost like you’re working in service of some other group that may or may not have an interest in this particular situation, but again, you’re insisting all this happened in a vacuum so that can’t be true!

He’s claiming the police planted evidence on him as a attempt to justify denying bail. Specifically he says they planted a large amount of cash that he didn’t have on him ever and has no idea where it came from, and they lied about a waterproof bag he had for his phone, saying it was a faraday cage, and claiming his possession of such an item means he’s too sophisticated a criminal to be allowed bail.

He knows what’s coming. They aren’t gonna want him to get to speak to a jury because it’s not gonna be a guarantee they convict him. If he gets a not guilty verdict, that would be VERY bad for the ruling class, so that’s not gonna be allowed to possibly happen.

No, actually. I made no assertions about whether or not the coup would’ve succeeded. Only that it doesn’t make sense to pat parliament on the back for doing the absolute minimum of saying “we don’t like this.” The whole situation is a mess, but it’s important to be realistic about what happened. The fact that South Korea still has conscription probably had more to do with the failure than anything else.

Hard disagree. Parliament didn’t do what he said. Yoon backed down. The deciding action on “coup or no coup” here was not done by the group he claims. That’s a big difference. Starting from that point and working from that flawed assessment changes a lot here.

The first paragraph contains a massive factual error that changes the context of the rest of the “hot take” this person has.

Yoon wasn’t overruled by parliament. Parliament passed a resolution (read strongly worded letter) demanding he rescind the martial law declaration, which Yoon then did.

Shandies are a generally accepted thing, and they’re half lemonade half beer, so this really isn’t some wild, out there concoction.

Anti-imperialism is when you invade your neighbor and steal their land for no reason and also obliterate their language and culture from the regions you stole from them.

She quite competent at taking bribes from Donald J Trump in exchange for not investigating his “University” in 2013 which is certainly unrelated to her getting this nomination.

It’s a good thing all the shittiest people on earth are all having their best day all at the same time…

And by good thing I mean absolutely awful.

The national security risk is why she was picked, hope that helps writers at the Atlantic.

I like how Trump yelled about never before seen levels of voter fraud in PA and not a single journalist is gonna follow up on that after he stopped complaining because he won. Shouldn’t we be asking what he knows?

Not quite. It’s largely because a manager decided that an important metric for Google to be better at was “how much time users spend on the results page” which turns out you can game by just making the results worse so users have to stay there longer. Management made a decision to focus on metrics that are counter to what users would actually want because… well, here’s a better article that explains it:

And only 2 of them ever voted. Literally more likely to have ballots lost in the mail than to have people who aren’t supposed to vote sneak through.

Bold of you to assume Trump knows how to write and the letter was at all legible.

Per the article, the exploit was fixed back in July. Weird to continue to use present tense to describe an exploit that doesn’t exist anymore.

Yeah, but if the media accurately depicted Trump as a deeply unserious candidate with absolutely no idea how to run anything, you might stop watching the news to see who is ahead, and don’t their ability to sell ads via a horse race narrative matter more than your silly country and life?

Really burying the lede that most of these people were already out of prison and Biden was just wiping their records since they’d been good after leaving prison.

But that’s not as fun as JOE BIDEN PERSONALLY SENT MURDEROUS DRUG DEALERS TO YOUR GRANDMAS HOUSE.

This won’t make a significant difference in the race. Anyone who was going to vote for Sheehy will read this as “saying what they all know to be true” and anyone who wasn’t going to vote for him will continue to not do so.
