Hahahaha, Rudely Ghouliani might be headed to jail, maybe? At the very least, he's headed for a fucking boatload of stress:

He's looking pretty close to death. In fact, death might move a few seats away to avoid whatever Rudes has got.

Tommy Tuberville says he went to Gotham to help an accused felon threaten a judge's family.

Via David Lurie:

Tuberville is a bad co-conspirator.

Aaron Rupar:

Tommy Tuberville admits on Newsmax that "one of the reasons he went" to NYC yesterday was to "overcome this gag order"

@GottaLaff @atrupar Tubberville is a liar, but an ignoramus, so he probably won't meet the intent test for disinformation. But he sure as hell deserves a one-way ticket to Russia, bc it's clear that's where his fealty lies.

thepoliticalcat,
@thepoliticalcat@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff Yes, but he's already confessed to that. As he's not charged with disinformation (altho he should be, we have no laws against it), his intent to disinform is not clear. He's dumb enough that I would not be surprised if he sincerely believes what he's saying.

I'm kind of sad about ONE thing. When we found out Trump's latest nick - vonSchitzenpants - it didn't rocket to the top of the charts and stay there. Damn, I wish Black Twitter lived here, those folks could have come up with a hundred witty nicknames for the fucker by now.

Did anyone send vonSchitzenpants a Mothers' Day card?

Isaacson had the story of the century—a robber baron’s descent into becoming the world’s biggest popularizer of neo-Nazism as he launches biggest failure of his career and his entire fortune teeters on one hedge fund deciding he’s a human meme stock—and Walt is still giving Elon the Da Vinci glow up.

@StillIRise1963 Years after our publicly celebrated "independence," the colonizer's businesses continued to siphon off the country's wealth, paying exorbitant salaries and "hardship benefits" to people from the home office to work in the tropics. While they paid a pittance to the actual natives who did the actual work.

$100K for a car that you can't wash in the sun, rusts in the rain, can't drive on snow or sand, gets stuck on hills, can't charge when it's cold, and sometimes blows up, killing occupants. Wow. Chinese vehicles are cheap, you can probably buy FIVE of them for the same price, and they do what you need without killing you or anyone else.

Is Trump ahead in the polls, because Biden is losing support amongst one of his key demographics: Black men? Or are the polls all a lie?

Trump ahead in polls?
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/13/us/politics/biden-trump-battleground-poll.html

Biden camp doesn't believe the polls?
https://www.axios.com/2024/05/14/biden-polls-denial-trump-2024-election

Either way, the most important thing to do, is to ignore, insult, argue with, and generally disrespect, Black men online! 🤡 Find a Black man, and yell "Trump is worse!" in his face as hard as you can! Swear at him, and threaten him with violence!

Brilliant proposal by German politicians: Let us place air defence systems inside NATO, and have these systems save civilian lives by shooting down missiles over western Ukraine.

This is pretty clever because

  1. Russia cannot bomb these systems as that would be an act of war against the entire NATO alliance.

  2. The systems cannot trigger a war with Russia themselves, as they are not attacking Russia.

Do it!

@benroyce @knowprose Ah, but they're NOT everywhere. We know that, bc we hugely outnumber them. They are few, but well-paid, loud, and determined. And it's up to all of us to mock them with all the mockery, and find new and exciting ways to laugh at them, bc they ARE the fringe, and they will ALWAYS BE the fringe. Chin up, everyone, it's time to stomp their butts.

Parents should not be able to sue over the consequences of their own stupidity. YOU LET THEM PLAY THOSE SPECIFIC GAMES AT AGE 6 YOU DUMB FUCKS https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-13/parents-sue-video-game-makers-for-purposely-addicting-their-kids

thepoliticalcat,
@thepoliticalcat@mastodon.social avatar

@firewyre In all fairness, parents might lack the technical know-how to realize how addictive video games are. We know from the internal records of companies that design and build software that they design everything to be extremely addictive. OTOH, parents do need to monitor their children's play-time - something our parents never had to do. It's tough when both parents are working, sometimes more than one job each.

thepoliticalcat,
@thepoliticalcat@mastodon.social avatar

@firewyre Can't disagree with that, god knows I'm still mad about Tipper Gore wanting to censor music, and glad AF that Frank Zappa spoke out against it. The First Amendment needs a hella lot more defending, dammit, as does parental responsibility.
