Politics & News LC thread - Vivek and John Candy were right

Figured out what this was, she’s playing on the 3v3 Olympic team.

A 50 something investment banker sucker punched and broke a girls nose last night in NYC and walked away.

One small, inconvenient truth though. The victims is a black, cis woman I graduated HS with.

Wait, did she actually throw fecal matter on him? I’m having trouble following those tweets.

She probably threw acid on him. That might justify a man breaking a woman’s nose.

Obviously neither do, but your post has like broken tweet links, and such, was just trying to figure out what the actual post was, not commenting on whether it was justified.

From what she posted, he threw down the woman on the ground then punched the girl in the video in the face. I don’t know if she threw a drink on him after the first person went down, but the number of posts on twitter trying to justify it because my friend is “not a woman”, “he must have been defending himself” , “free Palestine commie deserved it” etc. are pretty par for the course on Elmo’s platform.

Yeah, I was just confused and read it literally that someone threw fecal matter on him, obviously still doesn’t justify it, but the fecal matter piece was interesting.

Trump Media submitted an updated inspection of the company’s finances by a newly hired public accounting firm after its last auditor was charged with fraud.

:shocked_pika:

lol, because of course it’s last auditor was charged with fraud.

Was that DJT Auditors and Grifters LLC?

Shit, in some places they just give them black classmates.

Tom Scocca on getting a polling call from Rasmussen is pretty funny

The Rasmussen robot wanted to talk national politics, not local, and the scam was only the usual Rasmussen Reports scam of trying to advance Republican interests through ostensibly neutral opinion polling.

I love this guy’s history videos, and this one had an interesting detail:

The thing about putting a Frenchman on the throne around the time of Napoleon - hahaha what??

His descendants still rule Sweden, and what a weird story - he’s a French general who distinguishes himself during the Napoleonic Wars, is elected to be crown prince of Sweden because the king was old and childless, and immediately assumes command of their army, only to face a French invasion of Sweden’s territory in northern Germany at the time. So the Frenchman forges alliances that would become the Sixth Coalition against Napoleon and helps plan the military strategy that ends up defeating Napoleon at Leipzig and sends him into his first exile.

File under: WAAF

Two ongoing lawsuits and two congressional inquiries into the Observatory have cost Stanford millions of dollars in legal fees, one of the people told The Washington Post. Students and scholars affiliated with the program say they have been worn down by online attacks and harassment, amid the heated political climate for misinformation research, as legislators threaten to cut federal funding to universities studying propaganda.
