    Oh, you poor sweet child to not be old enough to know where "ditto" came from.

    I'm glad Dearie is getting frustrated. Not that I wish him any ill will, poor guy was basically dragged into it, But it was Trump's idea, and anything that makes the job uglier is worse and worse for Trump.

    But yes, for the XXXth time, Dearie could have looked at literally every single item for all I care. Trump has no valid claim on anything -- or to put it another way, anything in there that Trump actually does own, isn't an issue for the DOJ because it's not evidence of a crime anyhow.

    So Trump praised Ye for all those nice things Ye said on the 30 seconds of his interview slightly too racist for FOX News to air.

    No, really, just slightly.

    Fox News executives are “full-on freaked out” about the leak of never-aired clips of Tucker Carlson’s interview with Kanye West, Confider has learned, and the network is closing in on the “mole” who was the source of the embarrassing breach.

    A few weeks ago Carlson interviewed West, who now goes by the mononym Ye, and touted him as a brave truth-teller dismissed by liberal elites for his increasingly far-right beliefs and stunts like wearing a “White Lives Matter” shirt to Paris Fashion Week.

    Despite the Fox News celebration of West’s supposed intellectual heft, unaired snippets leaked to Vice’s Motherboard showed the rapper and fashion mogul peddling openly antisemitic tropes and bizarre claims about “fake children” being used to manipulate his kids. These more embarrassing, newsworthy remarks never made into the final broadcast of Carlson’s chat with the rapper. (The interview was also before Ye threatened online to go “death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE” before being banned from multiple platforms.)

    Fox may be closing in on the leaker, but it’s now almost a week since Vice published the videos. This is a notable detail because in 2012, the last time the network dealt with a major video breach, it found and escorted the leaker—Bill O’Reilly’s then-associate producer Joe Muto—out of the building in less than 24 hours.

    “This new leaker learned from my mistakes,” Muto told Confider. “The main reason I got caught is that I wasn’t covering my digital trail particularly well. They’re obviously doing a better job than I did if they haven’t been found yet.”

    Following Muto’s leaks to Gawker, the network instituted stricter security protocols for accessing video, making it more difficult to access sensitive outtakes like the Ye ones. “It seems this leaker has found a way around that,” Muto remarked.
    "Okay, but that's not what you said."

    Yes, it is. FOX News doesn't care that Ye said those things Ye said in the interview. They didn't cut the interview off, didn't throw him out, and neither voiced an objection at the time nor later. They care that people know all of that.

    And then, after all of that, Trump praised the very fine Yeople on both sides.

    A Republican candidate for the Maricopa County Community College Governing Board was arrested on Oct. 4 on a charge of public sexual indecency.

    Editor's note: The following story contains graphic details and may not be suitable for all audiences.

    Randy Kaufman was seen masturbating in his pickup truck in the parking lot of a college building in Surprise, according to a police report by the Maricopa County Community College Police.

    "(Kaufman) appeared to be looking at a cell phone in one hand. I immediately became alarmed as I saw (he) had his pants down mid-thigh and was exposed showing his fully erect penis," the police report says. "(He) was manipulating his genitals in a masturbatory manner."

    The officer says he saw someone bicycling just eight feet away and preschool children playing outdoors at a nearby childcare center.

    Kaufman told the arresting officer: "I f---ed up. I'm really stressed."
    Why are all Republicans seemingly sex pests? And sex pests around children? I know they love the, "THINK OF THE CHILDREN" line, but I don't think this is what folks thought they meant by it.

    Kaufman, a former corrections officer with the Arizona Department of Corrections, was endorsed by the union of the police agency that arrested him, the Maricopa County Colleges Police Officers Association
    Fuckin lol.

    Kaufman is a first-time candidate and Trump supporter who, on his Facebook page, promotes the lie that the 2020 election was stolen.
    And how utterly predictable.

    Former President Trump’s Monday assault against Joe O’Dea, the GOP’s Senate nominee in Colorado, is angering Republicans while leaving them wondering if he cares about the party winning back the majority in the upper chamber.

    O’Dea, a pro-abortion rights moderate whom Democrats spent $4 million against in the primary, was already in an uphill fight against Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.).

    Now Republicans worry any chance he has of pulling off an upset are being extinguished by Trump, prompting frustration and exasperation with the ex-president.

    “It certainly is not [helpful],” Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), a Trump ally, told The Hill. “I would hate to see O’Dea lose to Sen. Bennet by a few votes just because Donald Trump urged Republicans not to vote and we came up short of the majority by one senator.”

    “If [Sen.] Mitch McConnell [R-Ky.] opposed every Republican nominee who criticized him publicly, we wouldn’t stand a chance,” Cramer continued, referring to the Senate minority leader. “The nation has to be more important than individual personal offenses.”
    In which Trump, in his impossible to restrain need to attack anyone not sufficiently subservient to him, may actually be helping Democrats win/flip Senate seats.

    For once, I fully agree with the sentiment of, "Go Trump!"

    What prompted this attack?

    The barb came in response to O’Dea saying that he would not support the former president if he ran again in 2024 and that he would actively campaign against him.
    The most sensitive, think-skinned snowflake alive, quite possibly.

    https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-in...ar-a-lago-case

    When Donald Trump’s legal team filed their court paperwork protesting the Mar-a-Lago raid, a lawyer took the rare step of actually filing the paperwork in person. At a courthouse 44 miles from Mar-a-Lago. And they got a judge to oversee the case that was outside both West Palm Beach—where the raid took place—and the district where they filed.

    Those incredible coincidences have led lawyers and legal experts to suggest that something may not be above board with how Trump’s team filed their lawsuit, which serendipitously ended up in the MAGA-friendly hands of Judge Aileen Cannon.

    For one, Trump’s team blamed a “technical issue” with the court’s computer system. But The Daily Beast has discovered that the system was working just fine for dozens of other lawyers making hundreds of filings that day.

    For another, lawyers typically file lawsuits at the district where an issue took place. Trump’s lawyers filed at a courthouse in a neighboring division.

    And third, lawyers will mark a case as “related” when it deals with a similar matter. Trump’s legal team did not—despite the fact that another magistrate judge at the right courthouse had approved the FBI’s search warrant to recover those classified government documents from Mar-a-Lago.
    Daily Beast has a fairly good investigative report about all the convenient coincidences that were required for this case to land in Cannon's lap.

    There are sure a lot of them!

    Y'all remember the DURHAM SPECIAL INVESTIGATION THAT WAS TOTALLY GONNA GET THE LIBS?

    Igor Danchenko, the primary source for the infamous Trump-Russia dossier, was acquitted Tuesday of four counts of lying to the FBI in an embarrassing defeat for special counsel John Durham.

    Durham has taken two cases to trial, and both have ended in acquittals. After more than three years looking for misconduct in the FBI’s Trump-Russia probe, Durham has only secured one conviction: the guilty plea of a low-level FBI lawyer, who got probation.

    ...

    In many ways, the verdict is a direct blow to Durham, who personally handled most of the arguments and witness questioning. The proceedings were rocky at times for the special counsel, who lashed out at some of his own witnesses after they ended up providing testimony that helped Danchenko’s defense.
    Republicans continuing to own themselves in their desperate pursuit to own the libs.

    Durham sure did end up being a nothingberder.

    Bob Woodward has a new audiobook coming out. Anyways, here's CNN with an audio clip of Woodward speaking to Trump after his presidency, and Trump handing Woodward the letters from Kim Jong Un that he stole from the White House.



    Also, he makes reference of a photostat...which according to what little research I've just done on it hasn't been a think since at least the early 1960's. Trump is an expert on technology and all things cyber.

    This person is the most simple minded human ever. I'm still 50/50 on that he wanted this shit for memorabilia. Obviously the Kim Jong letters, but even some top secret documents just to show people to impress them.
    Democrats are the best! I will never ever question a Democrat again. I LOVE the Democrats!

    Former President Donald Trump’s recent online tirade against E. Jean Carroll might have been a really bad idea.

    That’s because the move appears to have blown a new hole in Trump’s best defense against the magazine columnist’s lawsuit, in which Carroll accuses Trump of defamation by denying her accusation that he raped her in a New York department store over two decades ago.

    Trump’s lawyers have argued for months that he can’t be held personally responsible in the suit because his denial took place during his presidency, and therefore fell under his official duties as president. But by repeating his denial last week in an online tirade posted on his social media site, Truth Social, and blasted out in an emailed statement, Trump essentially re-upped the activity at the heart of the lawsuit—at a moment when he’s not the president anymore.

    In other words, Trump may have just kicked the legs out from under one of his strongest legal defenses, according to Barbara McQuade, who previously served as Detroit’s top federal prosecutor.

    She [Carroll] should amend her complaint to include an additional count based on the new statement,” McQuade told VICE News. “Because Trump is no longer president, this statement was most certainly not made in the scope of his federal employment.
    Trump's inability to stop himself once again puts him in legal jeopardy. How delightful.

    Gov. Hey Abbott will miss a Trump rally to attend a DeSantis fundraiser.

    "Whoa whoa whoa! This article just says fundraising trip. It doesn't say DeSantis."

    It does say Florida. And it says fundraising. So, is Abbott getting a bunch of Floridians to donate to his Texas election?

    "I mean...maybe?"

    Or, is Abbott using his clout to draw donors to a Florida slate, which would very likely include DeSantis?

    "Then why not say DeSantis?"

    Because Trump would throw a hissy-fit and bad-mouth him during the rally. Can you legit think of a reason Trump would go to Texas to stump for Abbott, and Abbott would say "Oh, I just remembered, I have to do something in a state in which I'm not running" and it's just a buch of local Florida elections? It's DeSantis, directly or indirectly. Abbott still needs the rabid fanbase to be elected, so he's just not saying the part about backing Trump's successor on screen.

    "But that all assumes Trump doesn't figure that out. Do you really think Trump is that stupid?"

    (points at @Edge- 's last post) Yes. So does everyone else. In the last 24 hours alone, he's about to have his "special master" thrown out by a judge he possibly bribed; has three GOP players now publicly distancing themselves; intentionally backed a proud anti-Semite; got caught fleecing the US goverment by overcharging at his own hotels; got caught bragging about the WH documents he stole; had the last scrap of "Russia Hoax" shoved back up his ass where it belongs; and just for fun I'll add the part of his Wall literally made out of shipping containers is illegal and has to be removed. Yes, he's that dumb, all he does is make stupid decisions that cause him to lose.

    Are...they DICE developers? Because DICE has recently discovered that shipping containers are the perfect, "You need cover in wide open maps?" solution for BF 2042's pretty garbage tier launch maps, even if the placement of those containers doesn't make a lick out sense outside of "videogame stuff for videogames".

    Why do Republican governors keep violating federal law? Also, looking at those shipping containers...do they think that's not super easily scalable or something? A ladder to get up and down, and a front porch matt or piece of carpeting to drape over the razor wire to prevent injuries (or just some cheap wire cutters).

    States can largely do what they want on state property. Problem is borders remain federal property, so anything they want to do needs the express approval of the federal government.

    Let's just enjoy the dunks on the anticlimactic conclusion to the Durham probe, which Republicans talked up as being the one to take out the corrupt deep state democrats for years -

    https://twitter.com/BradMossEsq/stat...69258839457793

    I remember distinctly being told over and over how the Durham probe was going to indict half the Beltway and send all kinds of evil Trump haters to jail.

    Durham couldn't convict a ham sandwich.

    Poor John Durham.

    Leads investigation into CIA's destruction of interrogation tapes. Brings no charges.

    Leads investigation into CIA enhanced interrogation techniques. Brings no charges.

    Leads the "make Trump feel better" investigation. Gets laughed out of court twice.
    https://twitter.com/JeffreyToobin/st...76970243547138

    The John Durham investigation is a disgrace and a fiasco. Two acquittals at trial in a system where the feds win 95% of their cases. Trump and Barr said Durham would prove the Russia investigation unjustified. He's proven the opposite.
    https://twitter.com/Crimealytics/sta...15902200745984

    John Durham is gonna finish with a worse record than the Nationals had this season and they were the worst team in baseball.
    https://twitter.com/neal_katyal/stat...77967766466560

    Durham wins about as much as every other Trump lawyer.
    Plus, Keith Olbermann (is he still relevant? What does he even do anymore?) bringing up the question I'm sure many of us have - https://twitter.com/KeithOlbermann/s...89519969816576

    Now it's time to see if John Durham's "investigation" was legally conducted, if he behaved ethically, and if he and others remaining from Trump's DOJ should be prosecuted.

    Today in stupid Trump supporter news, a dumbass Trump supporting couple tried to exchange Trump Bucks at a bank for real money. And no, I am not kidding.

    https://www.unilad.com/news/bank-tel...ender-20221019

    These morons claimed it was real gold and legal tender they got from Trump himself.



    Yes, these inbred hicks from Georgia actually thought that these 5000 "gold" bills were real. What is really funny, is that the website to buy the shitty fake money, you can only buy them in lots of 10, 30, 50, and 100. Ranging in price from $90 to $500 for fake money. Fucking lol. The grift is real, and his stupid followers believe the shit is real.

    I love everything about this. Idiots getting scammed out of their money, dumbasses not understanding how fineness of gold works... And in all fairness, the store tells you these are 'commemarative' in nature and don't posess any monetary value. The store page goes out of their way clarifying that these only hold sentimental value.

    A quick google search seemed to indicate that fake money still needs to say "not legal tender" or some such on it; prop money used for films and TV shows does.

    I'm sure the company could argue "nobody would be dumb enough to think this is real money," and that they weren't trying to replicate any real denomination, but... well, here we are.

    I get that that's the case for money that actually looks like real money, but this is basically what you'd find in Monopoly... maybe on the back?

    Still one of the many stories that came up an might be dead(?). Deutsche Bank wildly giving loans to Trump back in the day seemed very shady. In fact when this came up and now with Breccia's link, Deutsche Bank seems to be one of the most criminal organizations in the world. No repercussions, possibly.

    All these dumb in the head Q-Anon, crazy conspiracy theorists are thinking aliens fixed the election yet can't direct their attention to how the rich and its benefactors just keep skirting the laws. Maybe this is a reach here, asking this much of people.
