I meant a kamikaze run in the general, not in the primary. But given her policies don't differ from her colleagues, I'd venture that that's because primary voters value tone and tribalism over actual policy.

That's all she needs to do though.

She's going to run a kamikaze campaign if he runs again to sink him.

I like the smell of coffee but I can't get past the taste

I think the way litigation played out, like with NY being thrown out and it the FL/OH abominations allowed to proceed, it might be a mathematical impossibility for the GOP to not win the House this cycle.

The media we're all sharing have an inherent bias yes, but I'm not sure that actual state-run propoganda (where it's literally illegal to counter the government line and all the opposition press have been shut down or forced underground) is the best counterbalance. The few stories in that first feed are all just summaries of articles articulating the state narrative, there's no analysis attached.

The sleeper races to watch are the state legislature majorities in AZ and PA, and whether the Republican candidates at the top of the ticket are so toxic that statehouse chambers flip.

I don't remember it specifying, so I assume the equivalent of $3m US.

I saw in one of the articles somewhere that the fatwah is accompanied by an approximately $3m bounty, so there's that.

See, part of the structural change was to divorce current events discussions generally with the inherent angry and bitter vibe of the old format. And aside from a few needless nonsubstantive call-outs here and there, I think the more "vanilla" format is working a whole lot better for that content so far. Instead of quarantining all the news topics and discussions and upset people, this format allows CE topics to flourish a little more and it allows people to not have to switch to a quarantine folder just because they want to post a one-off angry thread. So to the extent that there's no designated "angry folder" anymore and people are now free to be angry wherever appropriate, Noise is at the bottom as the catchall, and GD is at the bottom of the bottom because it's the catchall of the catchall. There's possibly room for tweaks if it makes it for a more pleasant experience, but I think in this case scrambling the old egg with a touch of vanilla has led to a cleaner and more interesting result (someone should try that in real life and tell us how gross it is).

jack is superman, it's all coming full circle

I might not be too far behind you. The last time I was getting routine service done they tried to talk me into a realignment after I had already been sitting in the waiting room for two hours longer than they projected, and now I apparently have three slow leaks.

are you peeing in the wrong side again

I don't know the specifics, but DOJ's request to the court was a "limited unsealing". Sealing a warrant is generally done for the benefit of the defendant, I'm not sure what the rules are on the defendant's side, or what the rules/exceptions are for confidential informants etc. Given they were already going through the proper course to unseal it, I'm not sure it that's some kind of additional violation in its own right. I know that former presidents are normally entitled to continue receiving briefings, you may be right that he is being excluded from that tradition but I don't know off the top of my head.

He's under investigation for enough to put a young person away for life (I gotta go back and find where all the penalties were listed, but one of them was 10 years per document). Can't say whether he'll be tried or convicted, or not just pardoned by the next Republican. Or that the truthsocial people don't start the civil war that one guy in Cincinnati thought he was starting. But every person listed on the unredacted version he sent to Breitbart now needs security for the rest of their lives.

So it looks like all the outlets have the warrant now (so expect real news outlets to report on it imminently), but Trump released the full thing to Breitbart first, including all sorts of FBI personnel names etc. that are redacted in the public document.

Per Breitbart of all places, the update at 2:37PM lists the relevant criminal statutes, including the Espionage Act: https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/08/12/exclusive-warrant-shows-doj-fbi-waited-several-days-after-judge-approved-to-conduct-mar-a-lago-raid/

me: "if I'm quick, it'll be seamless before any last-second replies get in" pooh in the OG thread:

also FYI any confused readers, I spliced this from the insurrection thread because it's clearly developed its own legs (probably from the nuclear radiation)

I think the answer is "yes"
