@session Is `Google Trust Services` really the best option for your SSL certificate? I don't know if I can really trust them to not let someone MITM my accessing of your website.

One more piece for The Washington Post to be ashamed of.

If you don’t have the balls to run a newspaper, don’t.

P.S. Fuck you Marc A. Thiessen.

Vote OUT Republicans !!! 👉🏻 “ Mike Johnson and House Republicans on Wednesday released their budget plan, which would raise the debt ceiling by $4 trillion dollars in order to dole out $4.5 trillion in tax cuts to the wealthy. They also threw in $2 trillion of compulsory cuts to Medicaid, which could make care healthcare even more expensive and inaccessible for large swathes of America.” https://newrepublic.com/post/191458/house-republicans-budget-plan-tax-cuts-rich-debt

The Democrats need to float impeachment articles. Write them, circulate them, let it be publicly known that they are there and ready to be acted on, for Trump and all his officials even. And they need to do this DAILY. The more they act like this is normal, the more the damage will be irreversible.

Zhang Yazhou was sitting in the passenger seat of her Tesla Model 3 when she said she heard her father’s panicked voice: The brakes don’t work!

Tesla sued her for defamation for complaining publicly about the car’s brakes — and won. A Chinese court ordered Zhang to pay more than $23,000 in damages and publicly apologize to the $1.1 trillion company.

AP investigates Tesla's aggressive legal strategy in China

Tesla has sued its own customers and journalists in China for defamation – and won just about every time. Elon Musk’s company has pioneered an aggressive legal strategy in China and leveraged the patronage of political leaders to silence critics, reap financial rewards and limit its accountability. That’s led some car owners to take drastic action. As concerns mount about eroding checks and balances in the U.S., Tesla’s record in China shows how Musk has thrived in a system in which regulators, the media and the courts are by design intertwined.

This "Gulf of America" is just another fascist loyalty test. It's a way of checking who is going to abrogate reality for no reason other than a cowardly refusal to stand up to the bully or an opportunistic willingness to toady up to one. Anyone who will call it that will help you round people up into camps or look the other way while you do it. Anyone who won't puts themselves on the round-up list.

Although early reporting suggested the SEC would likely look to “potentially freeze some litigation that does not involve allegations of fraud”, the first case the SEC has proposed freezing is SEC v. Binance: a case alleging serious fraud and knowing violation of US securities laws.
