  • Judge Cannon refuses to recuse self from case of man accused of trying to shoot Trump

    Jump

  • Not sure if you're joking, so wanted to clarify, just in case - It's not that I "saw the light"; I was never in the dark and am not a conspiracy theorist. My initial comment was meant to not be taken seriously.

  • Cannon has shown herself to be inept enough in her position before; I could see her 'accidentally' messing up and needing a mistrial.

    Or could take it even crazier and have him go to prison and quietly squirrel him away somewhere under a new name. (Even better if he were to "die" in some method where his remains wouldn't be pristine so as to make it easier to falsify its identity.)

    Ugh. Typing that made me feel like I'm making arguments to treat this seriously; feels gross. I don't understand how people can genuinely believe conspiracy theories; if you pull at any one of the loose threads, the whole theory falls apart. My 5% has decreased. 😂

  • (Don't take this seriously. Or do; I'm not sure it would make a difference in all the insanity in the world.)

    The conspiracy theorist in me says he'll disappear into the woodwork and, effectively, go free because it was a false flag.

    My 'reasoning':

    • Trump wasn't in the guy's line of sight.
    • The guy didn't shoot.
    • When it happened, wasn't Trump having some struggles with his publicity? I forget the details, but I wanna say he wasn't getting as much attention at the time.
    • Trump didn't get much lasting attention from the first attempt, and it certainly didn't cause the country to rally against around him. Why not stage a second one to gain sympathy?

    Again, I'm only maybe 5% serious here but, if the other side gets to have their insane conspiracies, I think it's okay for me to have this one.

    Edit to correct me using the opposite word I meant.

  • Washington Post cancellations hit 250,000 – 10% of subscribers

  • You are missing literally all of the context. WaPo has endorsed in every presidential election since 1988. Suddenly, weeks before an incredibly contentious election, and right around the time Bezos-owned businesses met with Trump, this Bezos-owned publication decides to "return" to its "roots" (after three and a half decades). Even if it's not actually sinister (debatable, but we may never know), the appearance of impropriety is a serious issue and damages WaPo's credibility.

  • It's a good thing I'm a Pink Floyd fan because I am comfortably numb.

    Or is that the dissociation talking so I can get through the next week, at least? Eh, six of one, half dozen of the other.

  • Why Is This Election Even Close?

    Jump

  • What's terrible is that it's the right hand that keeps covering us with shit while those of us on the left hand try desperately to get the soap. Not enough soap for all the shit. :(

  • There's no "trading" of insults and the article didn't even provide any examples of insults Harris may have made. Sure had plenty from Trump, though.

    This type of reporting drives me insane and it's always these news sites that don't allow comments to point out their obvious bias.

    Dear Americans, how do you go back to normal after such an election campaign?

  • Unfortunately, when "politics" equals "whether certain people deserve basic human rights," it's not a minor issue. I don't keep company with people who think I'm subhuman.

  • What subscription services do you actually pay for and get value from?

    Jump

  • I feel the same. I like not having commercials in my music and being able to listen to a wide variety.

    Veganism Is Not Anti-Indigenous

    Jump

  • How often have you heard — “would you tell an Indigenous person to go vegan?”

    Until now, literally never. Is this an argument people make?

    This isn't an article so much as an essay. It's also from 2023.
