    I feel like admitting you "tucked" in front of a young woman the way Rudy did is not really a stellar thing to say as a former friend of Jeffrey

    It also is completely skipping over how Rudy was duped into this in the first place, and that it happened a few months ago, that they knew the movie was coming out this week and ......

    I hate this all so much that I genuinely can’t tell half the time. What tipped me off is his Twitter isn’t usually so specific. He normally leaves those kind of personal rants for his rallies

    However reality can feel free to maybe create a couple more obituary articles for certain people that'd make the news.

    The oldest (13) watches a lot of youtube (Thankfully, using my account on the Xbox, so I can tell pretty quickly if the algorithm is feeding bullshit), and one of the streamers she watches a lot is pokimane

    I dunno, it feels kinda great to think she is going to watch this and get even the faintest exposure to good policy through it, even if she is not interested at all. Like a tiny seed, ready to grow.

    In local politics, there's a Congressional candidate named Dana Barrett (D). She's not in my district so thankfully I didn't have to sweat voting for her just because she shares the name with Sigourney Weaver's character in Ghostbusters.

    I first heard about her years ago due to her talk radio show, and tried to come up with a way to call and make Ghostbsuters references but couldn't come up with a way that was funny or at least not-annoying. Then yesterday, this shows up in my inbox and my integrity is being tested:

    She's one of those small-business-owner Democrats who touts being "fiscally conservative but socially liberal" which is a red flag. Plus of all her endorsements, they are mostly VERY white and here in Atlanta that also earns a raised eyebrow. Very doubtful that I would give her my legitimate endorsement.

    The researcher, Victor Gevers, had access to Trump’s personal messages, could post tweets in his name and change his profile. Gevers took screenshots when he had access to Trump’s account. These screenshots were shared with de Volkskrant by the monthly opinion magazine Vrij Nederland. Dutch security experts find Gevers’ claim credible.

    The Dutchman alerted Trump and American government services to the security leak. After a few days, he was contacted by the American Secret Service in the Netherlands. This agency is also responsible for the security of the American President and took the report seriously, as evidenced by correspondence seen by de Volkskrant. Meanwhile Trump’s account has been made more secure.

    Of fucking course all the names of powerful men are redacted, can't have anything like that out in public even if everyone with half a brain cell already knows they're guilty as sin.

    Hey if this is legit

    What are the chances that his account has previously been compromised?

    I mean we'll never know, but what are the chances that any given Trump tweet was fraudulent?

    Julie K. Brown is the person who broke the Epstien story, I believe she has mentioned it is cross-referenced with victim statements and previously known events.

    That was a bold move just attempting to log in. I'm not sure if Twitter sends alerts that someone tried and failed but SS would definitely be interested in those who do

    They could've tried another impeachment a while earlier, but as it goes.
