Yeah. Same impulse as all those weird alternative investment/gold scams you see on the right, too. It's been a while since I read Rick Perlstein's Before the Storm, but IIRC, even in the sixties there was tons of stuff like this in Richard Viguerie's direct mailers, which is where modern conservatism descends from as much as anywhere.

I missed this gem:

Possibly unanswerable question: Do anti-vaxxers think getting a vaccine can give you autism no matter what the age? Was pondering this hearing about unvaccinated teenagers who want to defy their parents.

Money will always win, meaning that human society will be forever altered for the worse given the greed of less than about 3000 people.

The judge did not find that the non-prosecution agreement or plea bargain broke any rules. That is all I was involved with as Epstein's defense lawyer.

B.
People will never take the immediate economic hit. Same with single payer. Median tax burden where I'm from is somewhere north of 40%, and that's after employee SS taxes. It needs to be incremental or people will riot.
My experience has been the opposite, where I've seen nutjobs that buy crystals on Etsy trying to get my state (Mississippi) to relax our vax laws (we're the first state I believe to not allow any personal exemption from vaccinations, one of the few good stats about MS lol). In general, conservatives here aren't as anti-science (or at least, anti-medicine) as you'd think though because of how rural we are and our strong community college system, which ultimately means one of the most common jobs in any given town in MS is being a registered nurse at a local clinic (being an RN only needs an Associate's degree, and the pay is really good for MS).
Yep. The entire story is a horror show with lots of names you'll recognize.
What is even the point of talking to people if they admit the video they are discussing is doctored and literally edited in a project veritas manner and continue to use it as some proof?
ERA is a fucking mess, we're at a point where a small group of people are literally disregarding facts just to create their own ridiculous narrative and constantly shitting up any type of thread that is about Democrats.
And the worst part is people see these political interactions and think this is some type of microcosm of the political landscape at large, when in reality it's a feud between a couple of socialists and people who are democrats.
It's a fucking joke.

Hope that asshole ends up behind bars then.
Well, he does fucking love crimes.

Note the line from the special counsels office about the "executive branch."
"His deceit, which is a fundamental component of the crimes of conviction and relevant conduct, extended to...members of the executive branch of the United States government."

LOL at his redacting the Senator's name but then copypasting a speech verbatim from the Congressional Record.
That one should be easy to decode.

What is the entire story? I see people in that Twitter thread saying that Epstein was pimping out his underage girls and Trump and Dershowitz among many others were his clients but you can't believe Twitter.

It's odd that they redacted this. It's Durbin's speech (which is available online) and the other senators under the second redaction were the co-sponsors: James Inhofe, Barbara Boxer, Bob Casey, and Bob Menendez.

Yep. He was making a speech demanding the release of Yulia Tyshomenko, the former Ukrainian prime minister who at that time had been jailed. She later became the opposition leader and ran in the 2014 election, when Manafort and co. mounted a campaign to smear her. People here have said that their tactics against her were a dress rehearsal for the campaign against Hillary.
Guess who worked with Ken Starr in the 90's on sex related case? Kavanaugh.
It's conspiracy theory stuff. The rabbit hole is deep. If you want more I would only suggest to google it. Just don't believe the lies.
I forgot about her running again in 2014. Good point. So this is likely just a bit of background/contextual evidence re: Manafort's crimes.
I wish the media was as adamant at calling out the economic illiteracy of dudes like Ted Cruz for supporting shit like returning to the gold standard. It seriously doesn't get any dumber than that
Honestly, the Climate Change talk on this website can be weird sometimes. Not because if it is real or not, it's real, but whether people want to do something about it or not.
It's the second part of this tweet that got me thinking about it.

One thing I found notable: Prosecutors point out in their conclusion that Manafort's sentences in EDVA (guidelines range 235 to 293 months) and in DC (210 to 262 mos) could run consecutively, and they preserve the right to argue for it. Over 46 years in prison still on the table. pic.twitter.com/EyJLv5iFCa

3/ Mueller suggested to the judge that she has the power to order that her sentence runs consecutive to the sentence Manafort receives in the Virginia case. There's no serious question that he will receive a lengthy sentence and could die in prison.

People are operating from a post hoc position that everyone outside of their circle of political cronies is operating out of sheer bad faith/greed/capitalism/immorality, and if they fell for bad info, it's because their opponents are already bad enough people that it would not be surprising to think the worst of them.
They refuse to believe that people think their ideas are stupid, might have other ideas about how to achieve the same goals, or might just be genuinely ignorant or accidentally screwed up on something.
No, it was likely his resolution that Manafort was lobbying against.
