Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
Roger Stone posted this about Trump's rally in Wildwood, NJ. https://twitter.com/RogerJStoneJr/status/1789706301578022980 The problem is that this image was taken on December 31, 1994 at the Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil at a concert by Rod Stewart in what is known as the world's larges...

Re: War between Hamas and Israel
An even better comparison is the Yemeni "civil war." These are the casualty figures I was able to pull off Wikipedia, which are far from complete (as they only are up to 2020-21) but show a pretty compelling picture: 377,000+ people killed overall (150,000+ from violence) (2014–2021) (UN)[...

Why would the Daily Beast have this headline about an agreement that has long been known and extensively reported about?

Re: 2020 Election: Predictions, Results and Reactions
The oral argument for Steve Bannon's appeal of his conviction for contempt of Congress is scheduled for 11/9 and we now know that the panel will consist of two Obama appointees (Judges Pillard and Garcia) and one very conservative Trump appointee (Judge Walker). Both sides only have 10 minutes allo...

Re: Revisiting Rings
I seem to remember something about the rights reverting if they don't keep them active. My understanding (which I have not researched fully) is that this is a whole new licensing agreement that WB/NL entered into with the new rights-holder, Embracer, after the latter purchased the rights from Saul ...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
Just based on following the reports by Tyler McBrien, Anna Bower and others about today's testimony, I don't think that the cross-examination of Stormy Daniels was as successful as people like Ben Wittes thought it would be. And the re-cross was a downright disaster for them. https://twitter.com/Ann...

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
I'm tempted to just say "no" but that would be somewhat misleading, so I'll say, "no, before that."

Re: Trump and others charged with conspiring to overturn 2020 election in Georgia
And to temper my dismay: we have been here before, but we didn't know it. Richard Nixon probably didn't need to break the law to win the 1972 election, but that's what he did, with Watergate and other acts of election interference. Nixon probably broke the law in 1968 as well, by undermining the U....

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
I think this is correct : "Imagine how the media would react if in 2012 Barack Obama was on trial for election campaign fraud involving a sex with a porn star. Literally every op-ed in America would be calling for him to drop out." So what changed in the past dozen years that made the med...
