Babylon 5 was the show I wanted to like, knew I was supposed to like, was literally made for me by people who’s work I freaking loved elsewhere; but as much as I wanted it to, it just never really spoke to me.

The Russian Embassy in Sweden, in a rude comment, confirmed the strike on the Swedish company SKF’s plant in Lutsk
So I am told.
That’s really not the point though, is it.
I told my wife this morning, I think his lil plan is to go on TV for this press conference, declare the whole thing a witch hunt, claim it’s because Jack Smith and all his mean judge friends have a boner for Trump, and everything’s fine, it’s all a sham.
He’ll think this completely absolves him, because he has come out and told ‘the truth’ and all, and he’ll waddle off back to Mar-a-lago, where the Deputies will be waiting for him.

Sarcasm, you should check it out.
Also, body text is descriptive or commentary, not editorializing; the title is the original title.
He’s facing consequences now. The conspiracy trial he was trying to have moved to January just got it’s schedule compressed down to ‘today’, the hearing got immediate billing, all witnesses were heard immediately and state organized crime charges leveled instanter.
This is, “having fucked around” he has now “found out”.
“Trial” is incorrect. In my excitement I conflated “trial” and “hearing”. That I got it wrong before coffe though, doesn’t change how fucked this guy is.
Edited accordingly.
Addendum:
There are warrants out for him and 18 accomplices. They have 3 days grace to turn themselves in. Anyone who doesn’t turn themselves in by then will be subject to arrest.
They gave him enough time with socmed to finish hanging himself.

It’s what Trolls do in order to misdirect the energy in a discussion. Don’t feed 'em.
WOOPS, it’s witness tampering in the state trial, not the federal one. Prior comment still applies.
This should be the one that gets him jailed. My guess is, it’ll be a significant fine; but any of us would be in jail already.
My gut reaction when I first heard this story break was simply ‘Giuliani’.
It’s added by the software, its how everyone gets the replies
Me neither guy, and I find it tragic that somehow these fucks that cultivate these attitudes are even allowed in government when really they should be in the jail.
It doesn’t seem like it would be, does it…
I do not question any of that. My point is, the republican party has been stirring this pot a long time, and as long as the money keeps pouring, they cant be arsed, as the brits say.
It’s got to be stopped at the source. We’re already at the point that guys are like this everywhere. One stands in the foyer of the Kroger just about every afternoon 3 blocks from my house.
Wearing a ball cap with a thin blue line flag, armed to the teeth, in a flag-wrapped t-shirt, glaring at anyone who walks by with a smile their face.
His body language, the sidearm he’s wearing, his clothes - it all screams that if you’re aren’t mad as hell and not going to take it anymore, you must be a fuckin’ democrat.
That is a feature of the republican party. If it isn’t addressed soon, some sort of war will be the only way it gets addressed.
There are a lot of people who would like you to think that disinformation is harmless; that if you buy into bullshit that it’s your own fault; and that the ‘people that matter’ know the truth.
This man bought into the fire hose of shit that is continuously, endlessly spewing a mixture of exaggerations, half truths and outright lies. He took it all very seriously, and he paid with his life.
Ask yourself, do you think this man was one of the ‘people who matter’ to his family? It sounds like some of them agree with, and listened to him and the fire hose.
This is a fucking tragedy. This man is a casualty of the fight for democracy, and it is a damn fight when people are getting shot for it. Not because he bought into some bullshit; but because he was fed a line of shit by people he trusted. His political party.
This has got to stop, and I think that it surely will.
Let’s hope it doesn’t have to be at the expense of another man’s life.
Another husband, father, grandfather, uncle or brother. Or worse, whole families.
As I mentioned elsewhere, if any one or group of the 70+ federal charges he is currently facing meets the legal definition of Insurrection, then the requirement of the 14th amendment is met and he becomes immediately ineligible.
This does deviate from the norm, and that is intentional; because sedition in a political crime that threatens the existence of the nation. However, it is quite explicit, unlike many other amendments people would as soon ignore. Once the definition is met, it’s party over.
It’s really the thing that drives a lot of wars. It’s a worldwide problem, not just an American one. The subhuman assholes are just the shiny enriched face of it in America.

I mean, there’s a lot of motivation to not do anything with twitter but stay away from it
