https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/22/argentina-javier-milei-presidential-election The guy is as much a wildcard as can be imagined and, interesting to me, the people I know in Argentina all want him in. These are educated people and liberals who have even lived outside Argentina (which certainly has its challenges) for many years. They admit that Argentina has so many challenges that many people, themselves included, just want to explore a different path ... but much of what they discuss as problems for Argentina are perceptions that it's the poor who are lazy and that's the problem, not abuses by those in power. In his words, people have kids, no job and are maybe children of veterans and so they make money and are trained not to work. The problem isn't the chef but the recipe (socialist policies). This guy is a former tantric sex coach, is going to abolish the central bank, do away with pubic health and education and allow people to sell their organs. He has the support of Bolsonaro, among others, and has already decried irregularities in the primary, arguing 2.5-5% of votes weren't counted. And, yes, he's a big fan of Trump.

When do Brennan and Clapper get their indictments?

He has already made plenty of controversial pardons (J6 insurrectionists, cryptoscammers, corrupt politicians, etc), but I feel like this deserves its own thread as it’s obviously going to be an ongoing issue.

We need to have ongoing discussions and examples of how mainstream political media centers Republicans and help them form and propagate their messaging. Below are just the most recent examples.

Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández was convicted of drug trafficking last year in the U.S. and sentenced to 45 years in prison. He conspired to traffic 400 tons of cocaine into the country and was “at the center of one of the largest and most violent drug-trafficking conspiracies in the world.” He even said his goal was to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” Now, thanks to Trump, he is a free man.

Matt and Trey did this after getting 1.5 Billion from Paramount. bravo Matt and Trey

Dude has billions of dollars and he spends it making an AI that praises him. Dumb...

Argued before scotus today. it did not go well for Trump. I could be off base, but it would not surprise me if the opinion was 7-2 that Trump exceeded his authority under the statute used to impose tariffs. good account to follow for the oral arg:

All week the word was TCU was down, everybody knew that. Just wait until they play Nebraska. Nebraska 14 Colorado 36

Vanderbilt 31 LSU 24. The only thing I can say is WTF??????? The Cumberland River is going to be impassable because of all the goal posts.

Seems that Dem State Sen John Hoffman and his spouse also a victim at their home and in grave condition.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/44630900/qb-nico-iamaleava-skips-vols-practice-amid-nil-talks-sources-say The day before the winter portal window closed in December, sources told ESPN that Iamaleava's representatives wanted to renegotiate his deal in the $4 million range, but his deal was unchanged. He's expected to make $2.4 million with the Vols this year, sources said. Iamaleava, the No. 23 overall recruit in the class of 2023, signed a then-unprecedented deal with Tennessee's NIL collective in 2022, one that would pay more than $8 million over his college career, when he committed to the program.

In other news, "Grok" (the "AI" chat tool on Twitter) has been retrained on far right talking points after repeatedly contradicting Elon Musk (of Nazi salute fame) and labeling him (accurately) as a spreader of misinformation. The result? They've had to repeatedly delete the many blatantly antisemitic responses it shares. It has also begun posting as if it's Elon, which is oddly fitting even if evidence of malfunction. https://www.yahoo.com/news/grok-elon-musks-ai-chatbot-025708729.html https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/07/08/elon-musks-grok-ai-chatbot-is-posting-antisemitic-comments-.html

https://newrepublic.com/post/179033/judge-denies-trump-trial-delay-start-date-stormy-daniels-hush-money-criminal-trial GOP front-runner Donald Trump is officially headed to court next month—the first of his four upcoming criminal trials expected sometime this year. On Thursday, Trump headed to New York for a court hearing on his hush-money case. Judge Juan Manuel Merchan ignored his requests for a delay and determined the trial would start on March 25, when jury selection will begin, and last approximately six weeks. Trump is accused of using his former fixer Michael Cohen to sweep an affair with porn actress Stormy Daniels under the rug ahead of the 2016 presidential election. He’s facing 34 felony charges in this case for allegedly falsifying business records with the intent to further an underlying crime. Trump has pleaded not guilty on all counts. The dates for Trump’s three other indictments are not yet on the books. His January 6 election interference trial, which was originally slated for March 4, was postponed while the Supreme Court reviews appeals on Trump’s presidential immunity claim.

@Jamalisms @Starkiller Anyone have any change suggestion or notice problems in this planned build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BbxxKq

https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/cbs-is-ending-the-late-show-with-stephen-colbert-next-year/ar-AA1IOiBD?ocid=socialshare May 2026 will be his last shows. Fuck CBS, Fuck Paramount and Fuck Donald Trump. When the government decides what we can or can't watch, it's time for some serious action. PBS funding canceled the SAME DAY thanks to the far right congress. Anyone that thinks that Trump doesn't have anything to do with this has their head stuck neck deep in the sand.
