Basic Glitch@sh.itjust.worksOPto News@lemmy.world•Democrats walk out of hearing as Republicans ignore committee rules to rush clearance of Trump judicial nominee Bove2·2 hours agoJust to be clear, I’m not complaining about Democrats (in this instance). They did what they could in a ridiculous situation.
If anything people need to be blasting the shit out of the fact that team Epstein just ignored testimony of 900 people that worked at the DOJ back when that file that suddenly can’t be released was being put together.
Basic Glitch@sh.itjust.worksOPto News@lemmy.world•Democrats walk out of hearing as Republicans ignore committee rules to rush clearance of Trump judicial nominee Bove5·12 hours agoI think we see a lot of kayfabing but I’m not sure about this. Especially after the blocked Epstein vote. Kayfabe usually requires some yes anding to keep the dialogue going.
Not really sure how you can really yes and “we are above the law and will continue openly protecting pedophiles.”
Basic Glitch@sh.itjust.worksOPto News@lemmy.world•Democrats walk out of hearing as Republicans ignore committee rules to rush clearance of Trump judicial nominee Bove141·14 hours agoI believe the letter was from the 900 former justice department employees who were trying to warn the chuds in congress that just let him sail through why it was a really bad idea to give this guy the green light. Bc of testimony provided by 900 people.
Luckily Grassley and co. don’t like making decisions based on “evidence.”
Like evidence can only tell you so much. If we look at all the evidence we’ve seen this week, it looks like Republicans in congress willingly protect pedophiles even when they’re given the chance to vote to expose them. But obviously we know from their own words that can’t possibly be true. Ya know bc evidence can be deceiving and what not.
Basic Glitch@sh.itjust.worksOPto News@lemmy.world•Democrats walk out of hearing as Republicans ignore committee rules to rush clearance of Trump judicial nominee Bove291·14 hours agoOh didn’t you hear? Wealthy people are above the law, and the congressmen our tax dollars pay to act as safeguards in this exact situation didn’t want to have to be lectured about how bad it would be to clear this guy, so they decided to just ignore the rules.
Or in Bove speak, they just told America, “fuck you, we don’t give a shit about you or the future of the United States.”
Basic Glitch@sh.itjust.worksOPto News@lemmy.world•Democrats walk out of hearing as Republicans ignore committee rules to rush clearance of Trump judicial nominee Bove253·14 hours agoGosh Dems, hurry up and get this show over with. Time is money. This guy could have let like 10 rich pedophiles off the hook in the time it took to hear all the reasons he was “unqualified.”
Basic Glitch@sh.itjust.worksOPto News@lemmy.world•Trump slams his own supporters as 'weaklings' for falling for what he now calls the Epstein 'hoax'2·21 hours agoDon’t look up. The king has warned (once again) that if you do, you’re a damn fool.
Basic Glitch@sh.itjust.worksOPto News@lemmy.world•Following Iran's recent Nuclear threat, new U.S. assessment claims American strikes destroyed only one of three Iranian nuclear sites5·21 hours agoNo one wants to start a war in the middle east except oil companies, defense contractors, and rich investors
Those are the people this country serves now. After this week, I feel like it couldn’t be any more obvious that laws exist only to protect those individuals and make them more money. As long as it will keep them rich, why not go ahead and just start WWIII or at least a second cold war?

He already told Pam Bondi to release “whatever she thinks is credible.”

Basic Glitch@sh.itjust.worksOPto News@lemmy.world•Full list of Republicans who blocked Epstein files vote33·3 days agoNothing good about that pedophile sac of shit or any of the Republicans that just voted to protect him even in death. All of them are absolutely disgusting.
Basic Glitch@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Lemmy, what's the meaning, or point if you prefer, of life? I know 42, but I'm serious. Nothing lasts, everything is meaningless - are we just amusing ourselves until death?3·3 days agoIdk if there is really a meaning. I think it’s all kinda chaos. So much of life is out of our control, and I think meaning is something people assign to themselves to gain a sense of control.
Try to be grateful for whatever you have, embrace the things you enjoy doing and maximize your time with other people that get you. When you find yourself doing something that you enjoy doing try to really be present in moment. Think about how you’re feeling and why you’re feeling that way. Even the way your body physically feels in that moment.
If you want to find an easy meaning or purpose try to remember even little waves can travel pretty far. Try to be kind and patient with others when they make mistakes, leave things a little better than they were when you found them, that kind of thing.
Basic Glitch@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•Why Gov. Greg Abbott Won’t Release His Emails With Elon Musk10·3 days agoProbably many incriminating emails. I would be particularly interested to know if there’s anything about Elon trying to drill for natural gas in Texas circa 2021. Anything to do with the Boring Company really
https://worldoil.com/news/2021/1/25/elon-musk-s-gas-drilling-plans-in-texas-meet-legal-resistance/
Or if Abbot pulled some strings to provide Elon’s lithium battery plant with water during a drought
Really I’m sure sky’s the limit in terms of what kind of shady shit you could find when you start draining the swamp.

Basic Glitch@sh.itjust.worksOPto News@lemmy.world•Orleans sheriff to stick with consent decree immigration policy in spite of new state law that makes refusing federal immigration orders a felony1·6 days agoThanks!
I guess I’m still used to reddit BS where it’s like you have to walk on eggshells regarding the rules or risk getting permabanned
Basic Glitch@sh.itjust.worksOPto News@lemmy.world•Orleans sheriff to stick with consent decree immigration policy in spite of new state law that makes refusing federal immigration orders a felony7·6 days agoYeah, I agree. There are definitely times when I wish headline editing was accepted.
I cross posted to a different community with m own title.
But if he didn’t make a big public announcement how else would Charlie Kirk have something to advertise to all the people at Turning Point U.S.A. who are starting to ask too many questions
Wow…
So when the Dems try to force the release of the files after the president promised to release them then tried to go back on that promise, it’s “all for political show.”
When the Trump administration picks and chooses what breadcrumbs they will toss to the public (after already releasing edited footage and lying about it and insulting his own supporters), it’s “power to the grassroots.” 👑
