So, Re: the Russell Brand saga… Is Rumble “out there” for claiming the below letter from a Bri’ish MP is tantamount to a request to demonetize Russell Brand’s content on Rumble?
IMO, it’s not, it’s the MP very dryly asking questions.

Mike Lindell loses appeal against FBI’s seizure of his cellphone in a Hardee’s parking lot

Lindell claimed that the seizure violated his constitutional rights. An appeals court disagreed.

“Lindell’s irritation as to where and how the government took possession of his cell phone does not give rise to a constitutional claim, let alone a showing of callous disregard for his constitutional rights,” the ruling said.

“Here, a federal magistrate judge determined there was probable cause to seize and search Lindell’s cell phone. The warrant explicitly authorized the search of Lindell’s person for his cell phone as well as the seizure and search of the phone for records and information constituting ‘fruits, evidence, or instrumentalities’ of the three federal offenses” Lindell is being charged with, the ruling says.

Those charges include identity theft, damage to a protected computer and conspiracy to commit identity theft and/or cause intentional damage to a protected computer.

The FBI’s investigation started after an alleged breach of election equipment in Colorado, in which data was shared in an effort to show fraud in the 2020 election.

One thing I couldn’t help but notice today is that securing the Sevastopol naval base has been a long-term geopolitical goal of Russia. They invaded and illegally annexed Crimea in 2014. Then last year, they invaded with the intention of taking the whole of Ukraine, but when that failed spectacularly, they settled for the land bridge in the East - of course, all with the goal of securing the Donetsk Basin and most importantly, the Crimean Peninsula and their Black Sea Fleet facilities in Sevastopol.

Now that Ukraine can essentially strike Fleet HQ with impunity, it makes Russia’s goal of securing Sevastopol pretty much impossible. By unleashing this war, the Russians have made an own goal.

Also, next year was supposed to be the Ukrainian elections. Prior to this war, there was a good chance that President Zelenskyy wouldn’t have been re-elected - his popularity was on the low side and anti-corruption efforts were flailing. All Putin would’ve had to do was finagle some toady of his into the office, and that’s that…done and dusted. And Nord Stream 2 would be merrily chugging away, making the EU even more dependent on Russian fossil fuel resources.

Putin’s best move was simply to do nothing. By doing nothing, he would’ve won it all.

Did you think a judge would actually know how to keep their temper in check especially in a state that loves them there guns??????

Road rage judge shot at 5 cars before ramming woman’s vehicle

An Oklahoma judge has been arrested in Austin, Texas, and accused of a gun-fueled road rage incident, reported KFOR on Friday.

ccording to the arrest report, Judge Brian Lovell, who works at the county courthouse in Enid, fired shots at five cars at an intersection east of downtown, hitting some of them. Then, roughly two miles away, police were called after Lovell allegedly slammed into a woman’s car in his SUV.

After they argued, Lovell allegedly hit the woman’s car on purpose a second time and tried to push it into oncoming vehicles.

From their web site:

The Ohio Redistricting Commission is comprised of seven members:
One individual appointed by the Senate President
One individual appointed by the Speaker of the House
One individual appointed by the Senate Minority Leader
One individual appointed by the House Minority Leader
The Governor
The Auditor
The Secretary of State

So it’s just more GOP garbage, and is called a “commission” to give it a superficial resemblance to real independent redistricting (which is only a thing in blue states, of course).

The thing is Zelensky was never actually a peacetime leader. He inherited an occupation of the East and Crimea, the embarrassment and constant uncertainty of which, not having a consensus on the way forward, depressed the entire country’s pride and explains his mixed approval ratings prior to the full invasion. When Russia finally did invade in force Ukraine was thrust into an unavoidable existential crisis with only one solution to avoid genocide, he rose to that challenge and they rallied around him.

“No money can be used to target political opponents”

Ok, I’m not targeting a political opponent. For one, the prosecutions aren’t my doing. For another, I’m not specifically targeting a political opponent, I’m targeting America’s highest-profile criminal. Happy now?

to reword it so even Jim understands:

what if ‘a political opponent’ is an actual criminal?

The question is which syllable in her name is accented.

A bigger question (according to Wikipedia) is exactly what her name was -
Though in English, “zeh-NO-bee-ah” is the most-common pronunciation.

re: #59 Nerdy Fish

I get that. It’s stupid. I know they don’t actually believe it; they’re saying it only because it’s what sells well with their revolting base. The rank and file among the Cult of Trump want to believe that he is being persecuted for being a wildly popular and successful Republican, and so they’re trotting out this bullshit knowing full well it isn’t true.

and because there’s no defense.

they know in each of these cases: tfg and all his coconspirators, thomas, paxton, there is no question of what they did.

they’re all caught.
eye witnesses, tapes, video, admissions on camera, physical evidence.

so if there’s no defense, the only thing left is ‘you cant investigate or prosecute me’

Jerry Falwell Jr. Accuses Liberty U Officials of Sexual Misconduct

thedailybeast.com

Ousted Liberty University leader Jerry Falwell Jr. has accused senior university officials of alleged sexual misconduct, suspicious financial dealings, and taking advantage of the name of his father Dr. Jerry Falwell Sr., WSET reports. In an amended complaint filed in an ongoing IP lawsuit, Falwell claimed Liberty U’s executive committee and board of trustees “maneuvered” to oust him in 2020 to gain control of the school’s $2 billion endowment. Falwell said the reason given was his wife Becki’s affair but his amended complaint lists other university officials who had affairs or were accused of sexual harassment but were not removed. His allegation of financial misconduct related to committee members making “donations” from the school to fund their personal organizations and expenses. Falwell has demanded the return of hundreds of millions of dollars he says Liberty U made while using his dad’s name in promotional and commercial projects. In a statement to WSET, the university called Falwell’s claims “improper and unsupported allegations designed to diminish former colleagues, family, and friends and to discredit the university where he formerly served.”

“The explosive indictment of Sen. Bob Menendez has forced an urgent decision on New Jersey Democrats: Stick with a powerful senator who’s survived corruption ordeals before and is known for punishing disloyalty, or cut their losses and protect what should be a safe Democratic seat,” Politico reports.

“A year before Menendez is up for reelection, they’re leaning hard towards the latter.”

even with prior prosecutions

For some reason being able to park my Porsche, Bentley, or Tesla in my condo garage on the 50th floor of my 60 story residential building is not something I desire.

I guess you’d have to book your car elevator time, (Darling, would you pls hurry up? It’s 5 minutes to our elevator time) otherwise the wait could be a bitch-or-a-glitch (hello building maintenance? I’m in my car and we’re stuck between the 27th and 28th floor).

And there’s the increased fire hazard of petroleum fuel or lithium battery powered vehicles parked on 60 odd floors.

That’s not an acceptable risk assessment I would make.

In event of a 24 hour hurricane warning, evacuation of say 100 vehicle occupied units out of 132 total could take some hours.

(FWIW, a major real estate market of Miami is Central and South American buyers who want to park their money in a country with a stable banking system, even when moving such funds may be illegal due to banking laws in their home country.

So these condos may not be occupied year round.)

I lived in Miami in a house down by the bay for 20 years, where I could hear the elephant motor go-fast boats going by at 60+ and loved it. But this would not be my dream should I chose to return to Miami.

I’ve only seen the 1st one. It was at about a fourth-grade level. The others may be worse.

So far, Very Short Treks has only released three shorts, and yet, those are so bad fans are already ready to write it off as one of the worst things of all time. Very Short Treks tied with the Star Wars Holiday Special when fans were asked on X to vote for which was worse.

What was meant to be a fun gateway for new fans has become a black hole of hate. Complaints about Very Short Treks have ranged from pre-school level humor to jarring and disgusting visuals that seem incongruent with the storied history of the Star Trek universe.
“It feels like something, made by people who hate Star Trek, to make fun of Star Trek on Saturday Night Live’s TV Funhouse,” summed up one fan.

Charles McGonigal, the disgraced former FBI official, pleaded guilty to hiding $225,000 in secret payments while working sensitive cases

businessinsider.com

Charles McGonigal, the former FBI spyhunter whose indictments shocked the intelligence community, has again pleaded guilty — this time to hiding secret payments from a man with connections to Albanian intelligence.

McGonigal admitted in Washington DC federal court to one count of falsifying records and making false statements about the $225,000 he got while working sensitive cases for the FBI.

The disgraced FBI special agent pleaded guilty to one count of concealment of material facts as part of a deal with federal prosecutors.

McGonigal has now admitted to illicitly working for Oleg Deripaska — a sanctioned Russian oligarch with longstanding ties to Vladimir Putin — after leaving the FBI. He has also admitted to taking cash payments and undertaking private business efforts in Albania while he was still in a senior position at the FBI’s New York Field Office.

Hmmm the New York Field Office which conspired with Screwdy Giuliani to destroy Hillary
