Laura Loomer's lawsuit against Bill Maher resulted in her deposition which kinda got released.

The judge sealed it since the depositions were supposed to be confidential so this is a little oopsies moment.
The pages they spend fighting over if she has to tell counsel her Email or not is very funny. Will have to read the rest of this to see if there’s anything actually interesting though.

But over all, just a few pages in and Maher’s counsel, Ms. Bolger, seems like a real jerk.
 
hilariously the government using corporations to further their plans is a classic fascist tactic

quoting mussolini "Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power."
Actual fascists wouldn't weaponize industry against the people/workers, whom they considered an equal "corps" to the capitalists.

Current_year liberalism is fascism without people, all the other fasces united against the citizenry.
 
"I'm going to rig a solid blue state that always votes blue anyway so that it is more likely to vote blue! That'll show you! Also I'm putting it in writing on official government letterhead that I intend to use my official power as Governor to interfere with federal elections unless I get my way! That'll show ... me?"
It's important to remember that all leftists (which includes all judges up until the Supreme Court and, as of recently, the 9th circuit) will happily ignore any illegal acts that conform to their worldview.

This doesn't even break the surface of Democrat corruption. It won't even be forgotten, because that would require people to register it.
 

This whole "clean up DC" business feels like when Rudy Giuliani did it successfully in New York City, only for them to elect a democrat and then it reverted, then got worse.

God it really is gonna suck when democrats get elected again and all this progress is undone. The only solace is that every other politician on the planet except for Trump is lazy and Trump has already done 40 years of work in the span of 7 months.

I really do hope removing all the illegals + redistricting + removing racial districts somehow keeps them out of power forever, but that’s wishful thinking to an impossible degree
 
Every single time they let an AI off the leash it immediately becomes arch conservative tradpill based. To the point that making them stupid enough that they'll parrot lefty talking points is having a noticeable effect on their capabilities.

Kind of amumu
Reel feels but these aren't actually ai. You'll get that in 10 to 15 years when all the kinks have been worked out.
 
The timing of this summit and the recent Russian advances and Trump putting pressure on nations trading with Russia is hard to ignore.

Many will ignore it though.

Russia is still able to make gains in Ukraine but other countries are likely getting tired of this perpetual thorn in the side of global politics.
Those who ignore this meeting, should it come to pass, are just fucking idiots.

There's a reason Putin is now willing to come to the USA, his self-declared 'Main Enemy'. He and his country are hurting. More and more of his country is within range of Ukrainian drones, which more and more often get through. People in Sochi were rather shocked to see Ukrainian drones hitting their city. Add the ongoing casualties to that, add the economic problems to that, and now you have the average Russian starting to question Putin's ability to lead the country. This is a very bad thing for Putin.

Russia as a whole is by no means a developed country. Like China, get a fairly short ways outside the big cities and you are in the Third World. The Russian economy is an extractive economy, at the mercy of supply and demand for their resources. And Europe is in the latter stages of weaning itself off the Russian energy tit.

In my opinion, unless Putin tells President Trump, at a minimum, that he is willing to negotiate, very, very soon, in good faith with the Ukrainians to end this war he will leave with no relaxation of sanctions, nothing, just his dick in his hand.

Putin sees that the old Soviet 'correlation of forces' is no longer in his favor. We have revved up a lot of heretofore unused weapon-making capability and that stuff is starting to flow, to Ukraine and in due time to Europe. Putin also fucked up by spooking Europe, played right into President Trump's hands. Europe as a whole is now committed to improving their militaries, which will be shopping in the USA for weapons.

If this meeting happens, it will be interesting to see not just what is said, but what is not said. And we may have a surprise guest. Sports fans, I shit you not, anything can happen.
 
You mean point out the real fact that Nick never got arrested and behaved in a fashion similar to Ray Epps the literal Capital security guard?

Someone who also didn't serve time?
Elijah Schafer was inside the Capitol on Jan 6th, took pictures of politicians computers

, and was never arrested for it. He runs a right wing YouTube channel that has very expensive production values but only gets about 1k views a video on average with his most popular video having 31k views.


How is he funding this?

My confidential sources are telling me that it will actually be you desperately grasping your grey nub of a bepis in hopes that this is anything but gay theatre within the next two weeks.

California actually isn’t solid blue; it’s just forged blue by Los Angeles and San Francisco. The state would be purple without the current bullshit. But threatening to do more bullshit won’t change a thing when the bullshit they already do suppresses what the actual people want anyway.

Putin has been relying on Soviet revanchism to bolster his flagging support (among those who don't already worship him for revitalizing Russia) but that dream was dependent upon him securing the Ukraine. As that dream slips further from his grasp, his prospects of a 50th reelection dwindle. This is basically life-or-death for Mr. Poots.

The real threat for California is a clean census that only counts citizens. They would lose 2-4 seats. Those are also electoral votes that would go to other states as well. Eliminate race from drawing districts in favor of plain squares based on population density and the Dem grip on that state cracks.
