"..New: Inside the massive FBI investigation into investors of Trump Media's merger ally. A Russian owner of a Caribbean bank and a Miami "granddaddy" of weed-shop finance made tens of millions on insider trades into the big Truth Social deal, court docs show. But federal agents were on their tail - with an undercover informant, secret phone scans and a money-laundering scheme they called the “full Singapore".."


The Full Singapore sounds like something else. LOL

"..Judging by the lack of alarm I'm seeing here, many Americans haven't noticed this yet.

The 8th Circuit maintained a ruling curtailing individuals from challenging states that violate their rights under the Voting Rights Act.

This sets up a SCOTUS case which was the fascist strategy.

Something I would like every eligible US voter to notice: All federal judges are appointed by some POTUS and confirmed by the Senate.

Voting matters for the Judicial Branch and that's the branch that decides things like if you can have the healthcare you need, or whether you can vote, or even if you are a person.

So, you know, maybe think twice before throwing away an opportunity to vote.

A lot people don't have one.."

Good.

This is interesting, this is essentially a lie, they are not supporting anyone, but it gives the impression that they are. Once again they think that their voters are stupid, counting on it in fact.



"...A resolution passed at the Republican National Committee's (RNC) recent winter meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada shows that the question of whether the party accepts that former President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election is still a very divisive topic among Republicans.

The Washington Post reported on the resolution, which states the RNC will continue to support fake electors currently embroiled in criminal investigations in multiple states around the country. However, that resolution notably included language like putting the word "vocally" before support (rather than financially, for example) and the word "lawfully" when describing Trump electors from states that then-candidate Joe Biden won in 2020.


RNC committeeman Tyler Bowyer of Arizona authored the resolution, and told the Post that it aims to both "identify the awareness and involvement of the RNC" and "ensure that the RNC is vocally and morally supporting those who have been targeted by radicals with an ultimate hope that they can be financially sustained." However, Bowyer's resolution was met with skepticism by other RNC members, who questioned the political wisdom behind it..."

If you make it impossible to seek justice in the courts then you make it certain that people will seek in in the street.

As far as a universal basic income is concerned a lot of that money goes right back into the economy to buy goods and services and those goods or services are then taxed and go straight back to local and federal. Exactly what is bad about that?

"..At least 100,000 people have taken part in a demo against the #FarRight in #Berlin today, with thousands out in many other cities. This has now been going on for a couple of weeks, since #AfD party leaders were revealed to have been at a conference where the mass expulsion from #Germany of citizens with an immigrant background was discussed.."

"...You don't have to be a follower of Taylor Swift or a fan of professional football to notice the very strange crusade that so-called conservatives have been waging against them. Those icons of music and sport, as American as they could possibly be, are suddenly tarred on right-wing media outlets as secret instruments of a plot by powerful hidden forces -- in the Pentagon, the White House or somewhere in "the deep state," whatever that means.

It is now possible to watch otherwise normal-seeming people on television, including several with their own nightly shows, spreading insane rumors about Swift and her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. In a calmer time, anyone who persistently shouted such lurid nonsense would have been a candidate for long-term residence in what was euphemistically called "a nice home," without access to sharp objects. With deinstitutionalization, they are now paid astronomical salaries to declaim their fantasies on Fox News and its cable competitors. (This is considered progress.)..."

If it happens there will be an army of rightie reporters searching for that one guy who buys a quart of beer with the money.
