The revenue benefits the sports program at the university. They’re not fixing the library’s leaking roof. They’re paying the next screaming douche 7 million dollars to promise them a trophy.

Sure major senior leaders are resigning, and, yes the guy looks like he just woke up in a dumpster, but you’ve got to understand every imaginary thing anyone is thinking that AI can do will, like, totally happen. Totally. Probably tomorrow!

Looks like the lectern’s on wheels that weren’t locked down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N040YRBq05w

I’d prefer he be in maximum security solitary confinement, or have the decency to keel over from one too many cheeseburgers, but this doesn’t actually look too bad. Goofy. He immediately blames his people, etc. but no he doesn’t fall over or anything.

It’s not a myth so much as a boondoggle.

boondoggle /boo͞n′dô″gəl, -dŏg″əl/ noun

  1. An unnecessary or wasteful project or activity. 
  2. A braided leather cord worn as a decoration especially by Boy Scouts. 
  3. A cord of braided leather, fabric, or plastic strips made by a child as a project to keep busy.

Or as Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin told the Daily Beast, “I don’t find anything unusual about a fundamentalist theocrat who thinks the Bible is the supreme law of the land attending the legal proceedings of an adjudicated sexual assailant and world-class fraudster and con-man for cooking the books to cover up hush money payments he made to a porn star to conceal his adulterous affair. Do you?”

It was a remarkable moment in modern American politics: The House speaker amplifying Trump’s defense and turning the Republican Party against the federal and state legal systems that are foundational to the U.S. government and a cornerstone of democracy. Johnson, who is second in line for the presidency, called the court system “corrupt.”

The display was, by any fair measure, obscene. The sitting speaker of the House — Congress’ top official and a man two heartbeats from the presidency — decided that it would be fully appropriate to show up at a criminal trial and allow himself to be used as a mouthpiece for a suspected felon.

Johnson could’ve stuck to a relatively anodyne script, telling reporters that he expects his party’s presumptive 2024 nominee to ultimately be exonerated, but the GOP leader went far further, lashing out at the judge in the case, prosecutors, witnesses and even the system itself.

It was about slavery y’know.

They try and make like it wasn’t, but.

It so was.

I didn’t think it was so much a question of how it was done vs how it was done so fast. Iirc, 20 years to build the Great Pyramid?

Multiple video reviews analyzed by MeidasTouch revealed that notably missing from the Constitution in Trump’s Bible are the amendments following the Bill of Rights which make up the Constitution's first 10 amendments. Trump's Bible jumps from the original Constitution to the Bill of Rights and then to the Pledge of Allegiance, skipping constitutional amendments 11-27.
