Comedians can't diss Trump, but Trump's mouthpieces can call for blood in the streets, no problem.

That's your MAGA America right there.

I could hear his voice when I read that.

Thanks!

"AI Overview

Analyses from government agencies and independent research groups indicate that white supremacists and other right-wing extremists are responsible for the majority of lethal domestic terrorism in the U.S. in recent years.

Dominant threat

Right-wing extremist violence has caused a significant percentage of domestic terrorism deaths since 2001, with some analyses placing the figure as high as 75% to 80%. White supremacists have been responsible for a large portion of fatalities within right-wing extremist attacks.

Both the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have identified white supremacist violence as the "most persistent and lethal terrorist threat to the homeland".

White supremacist violence remains a top counterterrorism concern, and data shows it has been more frequent and deadlier than violence from left-wing extremists.

Specific examples of white supremacist violence
Prominent attacks linked to white supremacists include the Oklahoma City bombing (1995), the Charleston church shooting (2015), the Tree of Life synagogue attack (2018), the El Paso Walmart massacre (2019), and the Buffalo mass shooting (2022)."

Pretending that's the real reason is kinda cute... and idiotic simpering.

"In orbit, satellites avoid the cooling challenges and energy consumption that plague Earth-based data centres. They can offload heat directly into the vacuum of space and harvest continuous solar energy without relying on terrestrial grids.

And with laser interlinks capable of 100 gigabits per second and 30 terabytes of onboard storage per unit, each satellite becomes part of a larger, autonomous AI computing system."

"Experts note the project's overtures toward international cooperation. According to ADA Space, the constellation is being positioned as a "low-carbon, globally accessible and sustainable" orbital infrastructure, with particular interest in engaging countries from the Global South.

While the narrative of inclusivity has its appeal, it also invites scrutiny " especially given the dual-use nature of such technology, which could theoretically support both civil and military applications.

Still, as Harvard astronomer Jonathan McDowell points out, "Orbital data centres make a lot of sense. They're energy-efficient, they're scalable, and they offer strategic independence from national infrastructure."

Imelda may say, here, hold my beer...

"The figure was revealed in connection with a trove of Epstein's personal emails that was obtained by the outlet, which also discovered that Dershowitz's support for Epstein went beyond legal advocacy.

In 2005 and 2006, state and federal law enforcement officers in Palm Beach, Florida, found that Epstein had sexually abused dozens of girls between ages 14 and 16.

He was indicted on state felony charges for solicitation of prostitution, and was also facing federal charges carrying a potential sentence of life in prison.

Dershowitz, however, managed to help negotiate an unprecedented deal in which U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta of the Southern District of Florida agreed to grant Epstein immunity on the federal charges in exchange for pleading guilty on the state charges.

Under the terms of the agreement, Epstein was sentenced to 18 months in prison, but he was allowed to leave during the day to go to work and was ultimately released after just 13 months. He also had to register as a sex offender and pay restitution to more than 30 victims identified by the FBI.

But even that wasn't good enough for Epstein, Dershowitz told Bloomberg.

"Epstein was dissatisfied with the deal I helped arrange," he said. "He wanted a misdemeanor with no jail time and no sex registration."

Santayana's quote: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it," from his 1905 book The Life of Reason.

"Santayana also said of human nature, "Only the dead have seen the end of war."

Santayana, who famously disagreed with his contemporaries like William James, died in Rome in 1952. After leaving the United States, he became generally critical of American society, though such criticism was separate from his system of philosophy.

Consider what humorist and writer Mark Twain famously said on the matter: "History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme."

"Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart. I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star..... to President of the United States (on my first try). I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius....and a very stable genius at that!"

"Genius Trump Attorney Submitted Wrong Comey Indictment Docs to Judge

Trump-installed DOJ attorney Lindsey Halligan is having a tough time with the indictment from the very start.

Interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan got a grand jury to indict former FBI Director James Comey on two counts. But Halligan showed her inexperience Thursday as the jurors rejected a third charge, and she submitted the wrong documents to the judge.

It was Halligan's fourth day on the job. She was formerly Trump's personal lawyer, and recently led the president's efforts to de-emphasize slavery at the Smithsonian museums.

Having never prosecuted a case before, Halligan scored the position after her predecessor failed to go after Trump's enemies with sufficient zeal for the president's liking, seemingly because of, well, sheer lack of evidence against them."

and

""This has never happened before. I've been handed two documents ... with a discrepancy," Vaala said. "I'm a little confused why I was handed two things ... that were inconsistent."

Halligan, per NBC, insisted she "did not see" the first document with the tossed indictment. Vaala observed, "It has your signature on it."

"Hegseth's mysterious meeting with generals will focus on grooming and warrior ethos

The event, which will draw top brass from around the world, will function as a pep rally of sorts.

The secretive meeting will serve as a kind of pep rally where Hegseth focuses on conduct and expectations for military leadership, according to three military officials and a congressional aide familiar with the planning.

Almost every general and admiral in the U.S. military, including many from global commands, will need to show up Tuesday at a military base in Quantico, Virginia. The unprecedented event will be one of the only times such an assembly of senior military leaders has been in the same space.

President Donald Trump on Thursday framed the event as a friendly meetup, even as some defense officials called it little more than a photo op.

The speech will be filmed and possibly aired at a later date, according to another one of the officials."

- both sides

"Idiot" in Chinese is, "baichi".

- That's just another way to say he lied during the application process.

Exactly. And he cherry-picked even that out of the examples of. 'finger-raping' and overthrowing the Gov.

INut isn't a serious person, he's an attention troll who's only here because he 'thinks' he's rattling cages, which he's never yet quite accomplished.

Oops!

"You are correct, sir!" - best Ed McMahon impression

"Mysterious Object Screaming Toward Mars Is Huge and Far More Massive Than Scientists Thought, According to New Paper

It's absolutely enormous."

Researchers have been fascinated by the object, generally believed to be a comet, finding that it's made up of far more carbon dioxide than expected.

Now, Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb, who has extensively examined the possibility that 3I/ATLAS is an artifact from an advanced extraterrestrial civilization, suggests that the object could be far more massive than previously thought.

By analyzing its trajectory, Loeb and his colleagues found that its "non-gravitational acceleration" was "smaller than 49 feet per day, squared," in a recent blog post. We also know how much mass it was shedding in the form of gases and dust particles.

From this data, Loeb inferred that the "mass of 3I/ATLAS must be bigger than 33 billion tons."

Literally thousands of DOJ officials have resigned rather than spend all their time defending the Dictator in Chief and seeking revenge on his perceived enemies... many of whom apparently live in his diapers.

This one had even better reasons than most
