@Catch The Rainbow why are they always like this?

lots of reasons but he's part of the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party, the closest thing there is to a successful socialist party in the US. makes sense he does this.

Here is some information on a Luigi-inspired individual that was arrested earlier this week.

'Because of Luigi Mangione' | Woman arrested with Molotov cocktail outside US Capitol cited CEO killing suspect as inspiration, DOJ says​

A Massachusetts woman arrested with homemade Molotov cocktails at the U.S. Capitol this week told police she was suffering from a terminal illness and had been inspired by Luigi Mangione, according to documents filed in federal court Wednesday.

Riley Jane English, 24, was charged in D.C. District Court on Tuesday with unlawful possession of a firearm and carrying an explosive or incendiary device on the grounds of the Capitol.

According to charging documents, English was arrested shortly after 3 p.m. Monday after telling Capitol Police she had a knife and Molotov cocktail and wanted to turn herself in. Investigators said English told officers she’d come to the Capitol to kill Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent. But English also reportedly told police she’d changed her mind once she arrived at the Capitol.

“I don’t want to hurt anyone… I don’t want to hurt people,” English allegedly told officers. “That’s why I turned myself in.”

A search of English and her vehicle turned up a folding knife and two 50 milliliter bottles of 80-proof vodka with grey cloth soaked in hand sanitizer attached to the top. In a detention memo filed Wednesday, prosecutors said the mixture likely would not have been unable to ignite because 80-proof vodka isn’t flammable. Nevertheless, they said, they qualified as destructive devices under the law and warranted English’s pretrial detention.

Prosecutors said English’s decision to come to D.C. was not a spur-of-the-moment choice, but rather a premeditated plan to “send a message” by killing members of the Trump administration. English allegedly told police she’d initially planned on targeting Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA), but decided on Bessent, whose confirmation vote was held Monday, after reading posts about him online.

English also allegedly told police she had been diagnosed with a congenital heart defect and only had months to live. According to the detention memo, English said she had been inspired by Luigi Mangione, who is facing murder charges for allegedly gunning down the CEO of insurance giant United Healthcare outside a Manhattan hotel last year.

“I didn’t have a plan in my mind. I felt like I had to do this. I felt like I was on a mission… Maybe I told myself to have faith and just see where this goes and I had been thinking about for this for a while because of Luigi Mangione,” English allegedly told police. “I have seen the response to that and that situation… It was not an everyday thing and it extremely shook up everything.”

Prosecutors may have an uphill battle in obtaining detention for English, however, as her public defender noted in a response memo. In 2020, now-Chief Judge James Boasberg declined to detain a 26-year-old man who was charged with throwing a Molotov cocktail at an unmarked police car. Citing that decision, earlier this month, a federal magistrate judge released a Virginia man to house arrest after he was charged with setting the roof of his car on fire near the U.S. Capitol while former President Jimmy Carter was lying in state.

Arguing for her release, assistant federal public defender Maria Jacob said English had no prior criminal history and had simply showed “poor judgment in effectuating a protest.”

“Ms. English took no action to use the items she possessed and instead immediately presented herself to an officer,” Jacob wrote.

English was scheduled to appear before U.S. Magistrate Judge Matthew Sharbaugh at 10 a.m. Thursday.

i've been really curious. what is going on with the federal email system trump set up, and why are all the redditors so butthurt about it? they're all acting like they're the greatest revolutionaries since guevara because they marked an email as phishing in their microsoft inbox, a company who works directly with the federal government.

Correlation doesn't imply causation. Millions of people play these games with cocks attached. thousands of trannies existed before RPGs both table-top and vidya. This is a bad argument.

Troons are often obsessed with Fallout: New Vegas for the same reason troons are also often obsessed with Doom. In order to spend enough time at a computer to know a video game as deeply as these people do, you are probably injecting porn directly into your veins.

is gitmo still a proper black site?

No. They transferred all prisoners from black sites to gitmo.

 

[FILTH Tourist]

I wonder if this is being done as a "fuck you" or if it's being done in conjunction with cartels being labelled as FTOs.

I think it is for cartel suspects. Housing random migrants in Cuba seems like it would be a waste of money.

[Jace on ice]

Why can't Trump ignore the judges? If they rule against him he should continue on with the EO policy like if nothing happened. Joe Biden set that precedent with student loan forgiveness.

It's only valid until February 3rd. Even the activist judges are toothless and feeble this time around.

Sometimes I feel bad for these public defenders. The shit they have to go on record saying because it's their job is rough.

I think it has more to do with the modding community surrounding these games than anything else. Something about the modding community is like shit to flies.

With all due respect, you have some good takes most of the time but I can't believe you're a woman. You don't write like a woman, you humor is nothing like a womans yet you cosplay as one on a message board. I would like the record to reflect that I am the first one to catch on this trannys hustle.

With that being said I am a man and I fucking agree.


Thus then, I don't believe you a True and Honest TM woman.

I just talked some catty shit on here about an ex-friend of mine, kinda unprovoked.

You can't get any more womanly than that.

People are fatasses in burgerland. More importantly, they don’t move except by car and think walking/biking is for fags.

Ride your bike all day in Europe and you can cross multiple international borders without shifting gears. Ride your bike all day in America and you probably won't make it out of your county, and it will almost never be flat.

We think bikes are for children and fags because the only places in the country where things are that close together are densely packed bug-hive cities where 40%+ of the people self identify as LGBTQIAP+. You'll also notice a pattern where the gayer and more insufferable a cyclist is, the more likely they idolize Europeans. They also dress like fetishist and love to snitch.

According to Karoline Leavitt, it's specifically the OMB memo, and not the executive order.

As mentioned a bit earlier in the thread, they apparently used this tweet as justification to have the same judge expand the restraining order to encompass the EO entirely not the memo.

I don't really care about the drama here, but AOC.. It's 'whose tweets were'.

The left was always going to resort to Lawfare to try and stop Trump from doing his job. The fact that they're having to do so week 2 is impressive.

See, this is why I'm opposed to universal healthcare and its many welfare forms. Shifting the burden for bad decisions onto the broader population just lets morons without impulse control bankrupt the system. The typical person pays more for healthcare because they also have to pay for the obese, the illegal, and the stupid. Euroswine will call the American system cruel. I would call the American system overly generous.

Dont forget, healthcare is also a wealth transfer from the youngest and poorest (who rarely use healthcare) to the oldest, who have a lifetime of wealth and use healthcare more than any other age group.

No 20 year old should be paying, or having it paid for, 1200 dollars a month for health insurance when they only see a doctor once or twice a year. It is only that way so the 20 year old, who doesnt own a car, can subsidize the 75 year old, who owns a house, living 2 more years.

Dr. Phil to Selena Gomez: Dry Your Eyes; ‘Rapists Don’t Deserve Your Tears’

I know no one cares about Oprah but between dr Phil, Dr Oz, and trump, she sure does hang out with a bunch of conservative white dudes.

Also Dr Phil sure does get made fun of for being a fruit when he's 6'4 and a chad

ER doctors is higher than the general population. Same for NASCAR drivers, CEOs and investment bankers.

One of these things is not like the others.

Made by a lying, disingenuous, porn addict who groomed a 14 year old Mexican girl.

I need a fact check on that one. She looked older than him

No argument against telling the elderly to pay their own way or go make peace. I was hoping that they and the fatties would drop dead over covid and open up the housing market for younger, healthier people. I was greatly disappointed by the traitors who developed vaccines and mandated quarantining. The covid vaccines worked, and this is a bad thing.

To my understanding they dislike it for 3 reasons:
1. Too centralized so that it may be a cybersecurity risk.
2. Makes the use of management in some ways redundant.
3. The new email system is acquiring too much information on federal employees.

From an excerpt on an article about it:

Looks like the Democrats and Neocons' Pro American Islamist allies are doing okay.

Because it's the first time the boss has directly emailed out something to thr federal workforce. Usually it goes through more HR to slow the message down.

Don't forget:
4. Likely makes it trivial (or at least possible) to track leaks back to their leakers.

They absolutely do not want that to happen. The federal bureaucracy leaks like a sieve and federal workers like it that way.
