It's what he's supposed to do. Special Counsels are there for situations when DOJ investigations & prosecutions fall afoul of politics - the investigation is in the hands of the same prosecutor as before, he just has the Special Prosecutor hat. Most important, he's a career person, not an appointed political hack.

Now the investigation is under a career prosecutor, with rules & norms that keep politicians at arms' reach, be they Republican or Democratic, and they can't do things like yoink budgets or retaliate nearly so easily.

Time to up the spoofing game. Maybe some AI-generated traffic to throw off the packet analytics.

Agreed - any competent municipal IT dept. can set up an instance without breaking a sweat - set up a VM, install your OS of choice, install Lemmy & its stack, set up the DB, register the domain, find some interns to moderate & do scut work. Not completely trivial, but within modest means.

Yep. The BBC & NPR found that out. Notice that the BBC stood up their own Mastodon instance - they know the value of owning one's house instead of renting.

By "IRS whistleblowers", I think AutoTL;DR actually meant to say "Chinese spies."

Makes me wonder if there's a /c/HermanCainAward...

Well, a subspace anomaly turned the universe into a musical, who's to say another one in a parallel universe didn't turn everyone into cartoons?

Are they the same neo-nazi chuds from that detonating craniums instance that everyone de-fedded?

I just noticed that Lemmy.world's getting upgraded to 0.18.4 - will this patch up some of these SQL problems?

Jack Smith might want to check the Wayback Machine to make sure nothing's missing...

Traitor Tuberville...

That, or it could be right-wing neo-nazi chuds from the detonating-craniums instance that are butthurt that nobody wants to federate with them.

Exactly. Thus the spelling & grammar errors, the obviously far-fetched story. They want the people who don't raise red flags when they see that nonsense.

They're filtering for stupid.

Sooner or later, Vader was going to find someone that shares his fetish for black leather...

overwatchnsfw?

Now that's just sad!

I don't know if you're looking at the same thumbnail I was looking at, but it's the pic of Trump under an umbrella, looking like he's about to cry!

Short version: you get the squicks and are uncomfy because someone else is getting medical care that is none of your fucking business, so you're fine with shitting on the rights of fellow human beings.

How enlightened of you.

Anyone who still supports Trump after all he did is a complete piece of shit of a human being.

Oh we've heard, we just don't believe those lying, bigoted, traitorous pieces of shit.

There's checking the boxes on policy positions, and then there's actually getting them implemented - that's the hard part. Marianne Williamson hasn't yet succeeded in even getting elected to any public office - not POTUS, not to Congress, not even to a school board.

Her campaign is just a vanity campaign that helps her sell books.

And RFK Jr's campaign is a right wing ratfuck.
