Looks like Lindsey Halligan typed the indictment and coversheet all by herself; as in the case of the Comey indictment, both are riddled with mistakes

If you can believe it, this indictment is even more thin than their indictment of Comey. It was reported that this entire thing hinges on an incorrectly filled out form *that wasnt even actually submitted for the mortgage application*

Lol the Nobels can't even acknowledge women's contribution to discovery. But sure let's acknowledge The Machines.

Headline from an article in Nature this week that states "Prizes must recognize machine contributions to discovery. The future of science will be written by humans and machines together. Awards should reflect that reality."

Guter Kommentar von @fsteiner.bsky.social. Mich erinnert das ja etwas an Zensursula. Das Unverständnis war damals ähnlich. Diese Bundesregierung präsentiert uns einen Rohrkrepierer nach dem anderen.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

Weder noch, eher Wunschdenken und Nostalgie, dass heute noch einer die USA militärisch angreifen würde/müsste um sie zu erobern. Trump würde Putin jederzeit freiwillig Teile der USA abtreten, wenn er dafür Hotels in Russland bauen darf.
