OduseiTrump posted what he said was Obama’s address, prosecutors say. An armed man was soon arrested there
DevCatThe FBI had been monitoring Taranto’s online activities because of his involvement in the riot, and began searching for him last Wednesday after he asserted on his YouTube livestream that he was in Gaithersburg, Maryland on a “one-way mission” and intended to blow up the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
The NIST? Is this what happens when someone thinks their scale lied to them about their weight?
【J】【u】【s】【t】【Z】Curious about imperial; metric or die tryin.
That’s silly. We can have both. You don’t have to die. People like me will continue to use the one that’s based on concrete historical everyday objects and estimates, that’s more useful in daily life (though here we call that USGS, not imperial), and people like you can use the one that’s focused on round numbers and is best for big math and science calculations and maybe cooking.
Obviously you can use whatever you want for outdoor temperature measurement or whatnot, but I think the US should switch to metric for anything of any importance. It’s incredibly annoying when your PCB dimensions, your 3d printer, your fasteners, etc, are in millimeters, while your laser cutter is in inches. It introduces a cause of issues and undoubtedly is a headache for foreign entities trying to work with American industry.
Do you think people in countries that use metric units have no intuitive way of linking the units to things we use every day?
To me and anyone else who hasn’t grown up with imperial (or USGS or whatever), the units seem just as useless in daily life as metric does to you. Probably even more so, because there is no easy way to link between different units.
You have to remember those connections. Guess what a foot is based on.
I wasn’t saying each system couldn’t be used to do the others’s strong suit, just that each is better at an aspect. You can do big calculations in USGS, as well, but why would you?
Also, I’m not advocating that countries where people use metric change their system, only that they spend their time on things besides trying to change a system perfectly well suited to most purposes of the people that use it simply because it’s not theirs. When Americans come in and try to change other cultures because “our way is better,” it’s a dick move, yeah? Well, it’s not better the other way.
9/11 conspiracy bullshit.
NIST put out a report about the World Trade Center, including the steel used in construction and said, yes, slamming a plane into a building will start a fire, and heat from a fire easily weakens structural steel to the point of failure. No melting and no demolitions required.
Popular Mechanics also did a piece on it. So more eyeballs saw the report. Conspiracy nuts didn't like that at all.
For the undying 9/11 MORONIC JET FUEL ARGUMENT
Abie Nathan/TheyThemI hope you recognize your problem here:
1- Never acknowledge dipshit like Trump & Obama.
2- Most definitely blocklist mainstream news, they are propagandist & always keeps waging Psychological/Informational Warfare.
3- This is more one for me & others, don’t trust anyone who reinforces those narratives.
Sorry sweetheart blocking you.

littleblue✨I hope you get the help you need.
bathrobeMore stochastic terrorism from Trump. Why can't we just throw this asshole in an oubliette already?
Oooh, new word. Nice.
Oubliette: a dungeon with the only entrance or exit being a trap door on the ceiling.
Mf would never reach it
The ass probably can’t reach his shoelaces
That’s the whole point.
I believe the literal translation is "forgetting hole".
samus12345Somebody has never seen Labyrith!
I’ve seen some real ones in Ireland. It’s literally a door, with something like an elevator shaft behind it. That’s all. Pretty terrifying idea for a 16 year old.
Flying SquidThey meant the movie Labyrinth.
I know. I was just adding extra info.
BaroqueInMindBecause he has lots of money, and this results in people like him to be treated much differently (i.e. better) by the law than you or me. If this were any of us in this situation, our lives would be upended, our pets shot, and in prison with all our money gone.
Because he has lots of money
Does he really? Or is it all a show of false glitz and glamour to try to impress people who he thinks are also impressed by shiny gold things?
and this results in people like him to be treated much differently (i.e. better) by the law than you or me. I
Or is it because he's still a useful idiot helping to enrich the right people. Keeping him out of jail ensures the grift continues, until convenient to throw him in jail. And then they'll be harping that they need to be elected to help free Trump from jail (which they likely won't bother anyway).
I don't know if you're being dumb, so I'll just post a link to his wealth being estimated at 9 billion.
Not only is he wealthy to allow him to be above the law, he also does not give a fuck about you, so stop voting for him hoping he's going to make your shithole rural town and life better in some way.
BluetreefrogWill this clown ever stop generation unnecessary drama?
I assume that's a rhetorical question....
Not even when he dies. His followers will say he ascended and the religion will solidify. And then we’ll get centuries of Trump prophecy.
blazeraIm guessing by prosecutors and case, they're talking about the guy they arrested and not Trump.
minnieoTaranto already faces four misdemeanor counts related to the Capitol assault, when prosecutors say he joined the crush of rioters who broke into the building and made his way to the entrance of the Speaker’s Lobby outside the House chamber.
Since then, prosecutors say, Taranto has been active online, posting a Facebook video of himself in the Capitol that day and endorsing a conspiracy theory that the death of Ashli Babbitt — who was fatally shot by a Capitol Police officer as she began to climb through the broken part of a door leading into the Speaker’s Lobby — was a hoax.
The FBI had been monitoring Taranto’s online activities because of his involvement in the riot, and began searching for him last Wednesday after he asserted on his YouTube livestream that he was in Gaithersburg, Maryland on a “one-way mission” and intended to blow up the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
The following day, he continued his live stream from the Washington neighborhood where Obama lives — an area heavily monitored by the U.S. Secret Service — and said that he was looking for “entrance points” and wanted to get a “good angle on a shot,” according to the Justice Department’s detention memo. Officials said he was spotted by law enforcement a few blocks from the former president’s home and fled, though he was chased by Secret Service officers.
can they get any more fucking stupid, honestly? a literal cult.
