June 11, 2017 – Donald Trump tried to cultivate a personal relationship with a federal prosecutor, Preet Bharara, after the 2016 election. Bharara reported a sense of déjà vu listening to James Comey’s testimony regarding Trump’s bizarre interactions. Trump’s final call to Bharara, on March 9, 2017, was to “shoot the breeze,” which Bharara immediately reported to AG Jeff Sessions. He was fired the following day.

@dangillmor "While decentralized platform offered a promising alternative, the established
communities and clear audience engagement on Twitter proved too significant
to overcome." Once again most academics chose engagement over ethics. Just like with academic publishing. We are in the mess we are in because of a massive ethical failing.
If you tweeted “Today is 1776” the morning of January 6th and then live-tweeted the movements of the Speaker of the House as the insurrection unfolded, you need to be removed from office and prosecuted for sedition against the United States of America.

@pluralistic
Your 16yo daughter needs to learn that nazis are to be ridiculed as often as possible. Especially Illinois nazis.
@pluralistic “I hate Illinois Nazis!” As true today as it was then.
the entire point of laws from a conservative point of view is to punish those they want to punish
you are referring to hypocrisy. but there is no hypocrisy nor shame from the conservative point of view
for conservatives there is merely an ingroup, and an outgroup
and the law exists to punish the outgroup. period
they genuinely believe this and see no problem with this, and they do not care about every point you raise, which is from the point of view of genuine morality
Why does anyone give a shit what this thing has to say?

“Federal judge #Cannon overseeing #Trump’s classified #documents case struck down a small but significant part of the indictment on Monday, ruling that the government must remove from its charges an episode in which Trump is said to have shown a highly sensitive military map to one of his close aides after he left office” #legal
Pres Biden knows that Netanyahu can't be trusted. Hopefully the Biden administration will be successful in their negotiations to free US hostages:
"Biden admin has discussed potentially negotiating unilateral deal with Hamas to free US hostages.
Such talks, if they begin, would not include Israel and would be conducted through Qatari interlocutors."
