And the “expert” was … ? And that person got what … ?

You’re talking about what happened a year ago. I’m talking about what happened in the last few weeks. Smith wanted only to redact the names of people or organizations that weren’t previously identified for this motion.

… “everyone knows I would not support a federal abortion ban, under any circumstances, and would, in fact, veto it.”

Which means that Trump would 100% sign a federal abortion ban, got it.

School choice activist Corey DeAngelis participated in a GayHoopla adult film called “Super Star Compilation! How Many Strokes Til You Cum?!” before writing his book, The Parent Revolution: Rescuing Your Kids from the Radicals Ruining Our Schools.

Are we sure this isn’t The Onion?

No, Smith’s desire was only to redact names of persons in this oversized filing, nothing else.

Is this the one that Trump wanted to be massively redacted? And Jack Smith said “We should only redact the names of witnesses and other persons not already identified”?

That’s kind of what I was saying. Recreational cannabis would be appropriately handled just like that, while preserving the right of all Americans to receive certain kinds of medical care (Roe) should be federally guaranteed, regardless of what state you live in.

Journalistically, I think “lying” implies willfullness, and a reporter cannot 100% prove that a false statement was made willfully, with knowledge that the statement was false.

What the reporter can do is point out that the statement was false, with evidence that demonstrates that, even including statements to the contrary by the person making the false statement before and after. But you can’t know for sure in the moment a false statement is being made that the person believed it was false as they were making it.

This journalistic concept is part of the reason the couch fucker meme took off. AP (was it AP?) published a story about how “No, JD Vance did not have sex with a couch,” and then retracted it. Why? Because while there’s no evidence that JD Vance did have sex with a couch, and there’s plenty of evidence that JD Vance having sex with a couch was just a joke, there isn’t any proof that JD Vance didn’t have sex with a couch.

Oh I didn’t say it made sense, especially in comparison to other legally produced intoxicants. If things made sense, we wouldn’t have gestures widely.

But in the nonsensical paradigm, relegating the legal status of a recreational drug to the state level would be appropriate, and most certainly a step in the right direction. More to the point, I don’t see it being possible for the federal government to command nationwide legality of recreational cannabis. This is why I made a separate statement about medical use.

It enraged casual home users, not techies.

TBF, “Leave it up to the states” in the context of recreational use is appropriate here. Extending that concept would necessarily include having extremely limited federal regulation, if any at all.

Medical use, in my opinion, should be federally protected, such that you can acquire medical use cannabis for a uniform set of medical purposes in all states.

Minors as young as nine at the time of the alleged abuse.

I promise a whale head on the roof of every car!

“Her actions.”

That escalated quickly.

And we can solve the problem of climate change by going to the opposite side of the sun and turning off the Enormous Fan, thereby eliminating the solar wind.

… people are leaving his rallys on camera behind him, …

Of note, those people who sit right behind the speaker and get to be on camera - those people are specifically selected to be there.

Even the people who have been chosen to be Trump’s backdrop are leaving early.

Not pointing a finger directly at you, but I swear Trump could literally say “Go murder liberals right now,” and someone would say

Isn’t this an obvious dog whistle call for violence?

Not the headgaskets again!

I was trying to do a “it’s not supposed to leak, that’s probably an STI” joke.
