That period of time was one of intense competition between #MichaelCohen & Trump's longest-serving adviser, #RogerStone.
#Trump didn't ultimately run in the election in the following year. But he did plant the seeds for himself in the #GOP primary by vaulting to the top of the polls on the #birtherism#racist#ConspiracyTheory#lie that President Barack #Obama may not have been born in the United States.
“To use the authority of the Dept of #Justice to overturn the election, based on a #lie, w/ no concerns that the dept had no evidence of fraud that affected the election — & Mr. Clark didn’t have any evidence either — what Mr. Clark was attempting to do was essentially a #coup at the #DOJ,” said Hamilton P. ‘Phil’ Fox III, lead prosecuting atty for the DC Bar’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel.
🥥 Just asking: Has everyone on social media just given up on the difference between lie and lay and nobody told me? 🥥 #Lie, #Lay, #SocialMedia, #TuckersBalls
Redis changed to dual license. I'm migrating to Dragonfly! Even if I'm not personally hit by this, it's not longer truly open-source, so I exit Redis. Moreover, Dragonfly is also much more performant.
@brawaru Also they promised to keep the project open-source under 3-clause BSD license (it's a lie):
"Furthermore, the core of the open source Redis project will remain under the 3-Clause BSD license, and as expressed by the new governance structure for Redis, the project will be guided by a core team of contributors from the community selected according to their involvement and contributions. "
Jay Kuo zeroes in on the "bold-faced lie" Katie Britt told in her SOTU rebuttan — "that a sex trafficking victim, who was raped repeatedly at age 12, had met with Sen. Britt and was a stark example of Biden’s failed border policies."
As he notes, Jonathan Katz, a freelance journalist and reporter with years of experience as an AP foreign correspondent in Haiti and Mexico, surfaced Britt's bold-faced lie.
As Kuo adds, yesterday Washington Post in a report finally published on Saturday, the Washington Post confirmed what Katz has reported about Britt's bold-faced lie. He states.
"[Karla Jacinto Romero] is a sexual trafficking victims’ rights advocate. Her story is widely known. In fact, she testified before Congress in 2015 about being forced to work in Mexican brothels from 2004 to 2008—again, back when George W. Bush was president."
"Yet Sen. Britt took that story and made it one about the border, which it most certainly was not. …
Biden, the border and the cartels had nothing to do with Romero. According to her testimony, cited by the Post, after her mother threw her out of the house, a pimp took advantage of her, and she spent four years in a brothel, escaping at age 16.
Nor was Romero ever trafficked across the border to the U.S."
"As Jonathan Katz noted in his now viral TikTok video about Britt’s lies, the senator had made it seem like she had met the woman 'sitting by the banks of the Rio Grande, … holding her hand … getting her to tell her the story that she won’t tell anyone else.' In fact, Britt met Romero at a press conference organized by three GOP women senators, including Britt, and a Fox News reporter known for inflammatory pieces on immigration."
"Sen. Britt tried to scam the entire nation by trying to spin a story from two decades ago about a child victim of sexual tourism into a story today about Biden’s failed policies, sex trafficking across the border, and cartels. For that, the Washington Post gave her four Pinocchios—its worst rating, a real whopper."
David Pepper discusses the huge lie Katie Britt told in her SOTU rebuttal about Karla Jacinto Romero, a trafficking victim. Britt placed the story of what happened to her in the US under Biden, when it's clear Britt knew this happened in Mexico in 2004-8.
#Trump grotesquely likened a #civil#fraud judgment against him to #Navalny’s death. When asked by #FauxNews personality #LauraIngraham how he would come up w/ the $364 million in penalties, plus interest, in a #NewYork judge’s Feb 16 verdict, TFG replied: “It is a form of Navalny. It is a form of communism or fascism.”

$100 per MWh (renewables) vs Japan’s $500 - $900 per MWh (ammonia). 😮
Everything that requires energy to manufacture in Japan won’t be competitive with anything built in renewables-heavy countries. So, Japan’s economy will fall apart and its GDP will plummet. 😕
There’s no pathway for a country to base its economy on importing ammonia (or any other green hydrogen derivative) as an energy carrier that doesn’t end in economic failure for them. ☹️
Jonny Lang Exploded Onto the Scene When a Teenager With His 1997 Release: “#Lie To Me”
Just ask #BuddyGuy, the famous #blues#singer who played with Lang in the summer of 1998: Guy told Sean McDevitt of #Guitar magazine, “That kid has what it takes, man.” “Once, someone told me blues is like #whiskey.” After a certain number of years, people talk about how well the whiskey has aged.
#Rightwing loons continue to peddle the objective #lie that there's a mountain of #evidence of #impeachable#wrongdoing by #PresidentBiden. This despite the fact that not a single shred of evidence has been uncovered. Even elected #Republicans are publicly admitting there's no evidence. But you wouldn't know that if you got your information from right-wing #media.
Nothing that comes out of #Trump's mouth has any connection with #reality. Not one word. Every day it's more #absurd than the last. And yet far too many #media outlets report on it as if it was normal. There should be no #headlines reporting on his words that don't also include a disclaimer that it's a #lie. The media has to be more #vigilant.
I just read an article about the downward spiral of X’s revenue due to advertisers, pulling out and got to wondering how advertisers get comfortable with the accuracy of the advertisement performance data that X is showing them, given the shenanigans in his other businesses
Not to mention the shenanigans in the "reach" numbers X attaches to tags.
Pretty much everyone I know who has come over from Twitter to here has 10% or fewer followers than they had on Twitter - some much, much less than 10% - and yet they get significantly more real engagement in the fediverse.
Almost like those views/likes numbers that Twitter puts on their posts are 95% bots - or simply fictional...
Jeff #Bezos pledged four years ago that Amazon would lead the way on #carbon reduction. Since then, the firm’s emissions have risen by 40 percent — and its use of creative accounting suggests that the real figure is far higher.
I've mentioned before they make up their own estimated #delivery#dates, which are more #optimistic than the carriers themselves estimate. They do this to drive #sales; #buyers are less likely to buy if it'll take a long time to get to them.
Today: buyer in #Australia ordered, delivery by surface #mail. #Canada Post estimates 24-84 business days by surface. That's up to 17 weeks, plus extra because of holidays in there.
A paradox. The US economy has grown and added jobs at record rates throughout the Biden administration. Wages are rising and inflation is down to 2.4%. The economy is outperforming most of the world.
Yet most Americans think the economy is in poor shape. Mistakenly, they think it was better under Trump.
@JamesGleick the fact is, they are all doing better. They all #Lie because they want chaos back in the White House. The only people not doing better are poor people who were doing better until the #gop did away with the child tax credit. That catapulted many who were brought out of dire desperation into a life, back into poverty. Shameful
If this so-called #evidence is so spectacular and compelling, how come #Trump didn't produce it for any of the 60+ failed #lawsuits he and his #dishonest supporters filed in an effort to get the #2020election overturned? Funny how it's only now, in the public sphere, that he's talking about it. And whatever he says, I'm sure we can all just take his word for its accuracy and authenticity. Because Trump would never make shit up, and #lie for his own benefit. 🙄
Well, here it is. The biggest #lie Donald #Trump has ever spoken. Trump is a #flabby sack of shit who makes a concerted effort to avoid #exercise because of his truly bizarre belief that the human body is like a battery, with a finite amount of energy. He's pushing 300lbs, despite his absurd claim that he weighs 215lbs, and subsists on a #diet of #McDonalds, and burnt steak with ketchup. Joe #Biden, on the other hand, is at a #healthy weight, and bikes regularly. 🤦♂️
Trump's wild courtroom antics: He knows he's lost this case
Trump's strategy to win the election relies on destroying the country's belief in the legal system
Mostly he has been racing to the cameras to insult the "rogue" judge and insist he be disqualified. He has openly instructed his followers to "go after" James, the attorney general who brought the case. This sounds like a threat to me, but what do I know?
