I thought Charlemagne was myth? That's what I learned in school

Fun fact, Christopher Lee was a direct descendant of Charlemagne, although there's a lot of those it just makes him cooler. Also Christopher Lee and Robert E. Lee were part of the same Lee family. We got pretty close to recovering the Classical World in Western Europe with him, but then he died and succession law at the time demanded he split his empire roughly equally between his sons. Poor Lothar, his brothers got the better deal which is why we only remember two of the three states and no one remembers Lotharingia.

I proposed this a while back but there's nothing stopping people taking a few thousand bucks and paying tons of homeless people to file pro se lawsuits against politicians/NGOS they hate over and over. At least nothing that I know of.

That's more or less what rich Brits used to do in feuds with their rivals. It's called champerty and maintenance and I don't think they're allowed anymore.

In the US:
This concept exists in American jurisprudence but is disdained by "fans of entrepreneurial lawyering in the academy and elsewhere".[27] There has been recent common usage of the term in the media in Nevada[27] and Ohio.[28] In NAACP v. Button, laws that overburden free speech rights in the name of preventing champerty were found to be unconstitutional.[29] Courts in Florida have found that the causes of action for maintenance and champerty are no longer viable in Florida, but have been superseded by laws related to abuse of process, malicious prosecution, and wrongful initiation of litigation.[30] Florida courts have held that champerty and maintenance may continue to exist as affirmative defenses, but only as to the enforceability of the champertous contract itself.

remember leftists shitting their pants over this because Trump was having border patrol separate the kids from their "families"

Trump was rightfully enforcing laws that were already on the books. Do you also remember "Who built the cages Joe?" I' think the policy in question came from the Clinton administration.

It only seemed radical at the time because the laws were not enforced by Obama.

I'm related to Bobby Lee, and we've down to a two-generation gap with Charlemagne, or so the family archivists tell us. Also related to Washington, for what that's worth. My people were deeply involved in the American Revolution, and two of them were loyalists who ended up in the The King's Royal Rifle Corps predecessor, the Royal American Regiment, a British military unit active in the Napoleonic wars that still exists today in the form of the Royal Greenjackets. Celer et Audax.

But here's where I knew something was fucked: The Vegas Shooting guy was caught out for CP, yeah? But it was a Windows 95 machine, which I thought was odd ... but also which means FAT32, and whoops, maybe don't hire fucking Pajeets for IT ya glowy idiots, cause Win95 / FAT32 can't handle the file and filesystem sizes mentioned in the initial press releases.

It was the shooter's brother, who spoke up to say that it was completely out of character for his bro to have shot up a bunch of random people. They supposedly found the computer in his basement.

IIRC, it was a 9th circuit judge, during Obama's presidency. He said that the children couldn't be held culpable, so incarcerating them would be illegal, and separating them from their parents would endanger them, so the only solution was to just release any border jumper who had a minor with them.

Yah Scott is probably one of the most component people in the entire Republican party. Given what he's been able to pull off, it's no wonder he skyrocketed in the party ranks.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhh, I kind of agree when The Virginia Project started dunking on him on Twitter.

Listen its great to get a bunch of people registered. But that doesn't mean as much unless the voting rolls are cleaned up, ERIC and the ZuckBucks are removed from the state, and people/policy/plans are put in place to both watch, report, and sue if anything comes up on election day. Like what is the plan when a voting counting place kicks every one out at 3 am? Who do you call? What is the plan to stay?

The voting numbers stuff looks really flashily and great but there are still serious election issues that need to go in the background that are less glamorous and more of a major grind.

How fucking mindblowing would it be if he actually does this and this gives him an idea or two on how to fix the fast food industry so that it doesn't suck.

"This Kamala oil, it's awful, it's garbage. Canola, I mean, maybe the fake news is right and I'm going senile huh? One thing I remember though, when I grew up we had a little thing called beef tallow. Best fries you never had. These poor kids, they've never had real fries. They've grown up in a world where McDonalds has lost its soul. But don't worry, we're going to Big Mac America Great Again!" [Sizzle and applause as a basket of fries falls into a vat of glorious animal drippings]
