was the No. 1 donor for Republicans in 2022. He now appears to be trying to conceal his giving.

Meet @mollyhf.bsky.social at @WashingtonPost.com, who smeared Vaseline over her ethical lens so she could render this puffery on Mike Johnson while barely mentioning he was an architect of the 9/11 coup who believes marriages like mine are like marrying pets. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/10/29/mike-johnson-louisiana-hometown-house-speaker/
SkalyMany things can be said in different words. You can say, I don't like the way this war is fought. You can say, a war is unjust. But one word you should never disrespect is the word genocide. When this word is misplaced a lot of things go blurry. A lot of lines can be crossed. For the Jews and the Native Americans, for the Kurds and every other group in history systematically slaughtered. Do not misuse the word genocide.
Thomas ZimmerReactionaries won’t stop because of an epiphany they shouldn’t go *that* far. They will either *be stopped* - or install a system in which only they and those who reflect their image back at them are entitled to rule and recognized as equal.
I tried to synthesize my thoughts on all of this a while back: https://thomaszimmer.substack.com/p/one-year-on-from-dobbs-the-dangers
@shoq I think someone didn't like the suggestion of "targeted assassination" of terrorists (like after Munich Olympics '72) instead of indiscriminate bombing of Gaza
@msbellows @shoq It's good to be here
@SohnsTed Got suspended.
@i_give_u_worms @JoshuaHolland Who doesn't assume that theaters have cameras filming their patrons? After the first mass murder in a movie theater, what theater wouldn't have cameras?
M.S. Bellows, Jr.Re: Jack Smith's motion for a protective order limiting Trump's efforts to influence the jury pool, including by "polling" potential jurors:
About a hundred years ago I used to work for a big law firm that represented a major aerospace contractor being investigated by a grand jury for possible procurement fraud.
My boss told our client, as a throwaway thought at the end of a long strategy discussion, to think about maybe buying some TV ads about how their company and its cool, high-tech new military aircraft were keeping our country safe.
After about a week, I saw exactly that ad nearly every time I turned on the teevee. Zoom! Military aircraft! Noble music! American flags! For weeks. Over and over and over. Millions and millions of dollars, hoping to catch just one or two grand jurors' eyes, in the longest of long shot gambles that it might have some impact.
Now imaging the "potential juror" push-polling Trump and his backers would do in D.C. absent a restraining order.
