So I guess it won't be "perhaps the biggest scandal in the history of our country.” as the POTUS put it.

documents were still altered in order to obtain the FISA warrant. just after they were submitted, the lawyer text that he "initiated the destruction of the republic."


guess what an [illegal] wiretap is? spying.

Politician in training.
"
A Republican challenger to Democratic U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar is accused of shoplifting 279 items from a suburban Target earlier this year.
A criminal complaint says Danielle Stella stole items valued at more than $2,000 from Target during one visit on January 8. She allegedly told police she doesn’t remember anything after arriving at Target, due to post-traumatic stress disorder.
The Star Tribune reported that Stella was arrested again in April after allegedly stealing $40 in cat food from a Cub grocery store. A police report says she told an officer she forgot to pay.
In a text to the Guardian, a British newspaper, Stella said she’s innocent until proven guilty, and if she were guilty, she would never run for public office.
Stella is a 31-year-old special education teacher and supporter of President Donald Trump. She has gained attention for social media posts referencing QAnon, a far-right conspiracy theory. Last week InfoWars broadcast an interview in which she described Minneapolis as the “crime capital” of America.

Target has a better forensics department then the majority of police organizations out there. You would have to be an idiot to try to rob Target. They are more on LP then Walmart is. But she does follow Qanon, so I would say she is an idiot.

Also, Minneapolis has a long way to go if they want to be the crime capital of America.


As an example, just this morning at 7:50am, about 50 feet away from the production truck in which I was prepping for the Thanksgiving Day Parade broadcast, someone:
.
  • Assaulted and robbed a female Chicago Fire Dept paramedic field chief,
  • By forcing his way into her vehicle while she was in it, under the guise of first asking for directions,
  • In broad daylight,
  • At the corner of Washington & State St which is right in the middle of downtown, and was at that time was populated by:
    .
    • Seven TV cameras,
    • Fifty-ish Chicago Police officers, many with automatic rifles, and
    • Thousands of people waiting to watch the parade which began ten minutes later, many of whom were also undoubtedly carrying.


I'm not clever enough to make this **** up: https://www.arlingtoncardinal.com/20...on-st-chicago/

If you wanna compete with Chicago for crime-capital status, you gotta have some cojones. This is Gotham, Ms. Stella. Go big or go home.

The King of All Racial Slurs? That's like saying that Budweiser is the King of Beers. It's not merely false, but it dilutes the meaning of the word.

How is the word "nіgger" any worse than:
.
  • Wetback
  • Towel-head
  • Wop
  • Polaco
  • Resident of Virginia
  • *****
  • (etc)
  • ?

Any why is it verboten to say, when speaking in a factual, reporting sort of context? What actual harm is caused by its utterance in this manner?

.
"A Virginia Tech student has been sentenced to four years in Federal prison, after he wrote the word 'nіgger' in an essay about the linguistic history of colonial-era America, a class assignment."
.

Nope, nobody died.

It is the actual reality of many countries in which social conformity is prized above free discourse.

And I do believe that it will become our own reality if present trends continue.

Trump had to send a fake motorcade to Florida to prevent the enemy from obtaining trumps location in advance from leakers and American "press"

Sunbathe Your *******, for Wellness

by Maria Sherman



Last night, while engaging in my favorite evening activity—procrastinating and feeling morally superior on Twitter—I stumbled upon a viral tweet that read, “People out here butt-chugging sunlight,” and included a screenshot of the above Instagram image. In it, a woman who goes by the name Metaphysical Meagan and possesses a little less than 6,000 followers (she’s 4,000 shy of the microinfluencer title), is seen posing nude. Her legs are extended far above her torso, as if she were about to strap them into the most painful lithotomy stirrups at an OB-GYN appointment in hell. She is doing this, according to her caption, as a part of some process called “perineum sunning.” She’s quite literally sunbathing her *******, for wellness. You know, the vibes, man.

In the post, she explains that “30 seconds of sunlight on your butthole is the equivalent of a full day of sunlight with your clothes on,” and that it is “an ancient Taoist practice that’s been around for a while!” (Yes, because that is what “ancient” means.) A few weeks after her initial post, presumably because more and more people went to her page to comment after finding various jokes about it online, Metaphysical Meagan posted the photo on Instagram for a second time, now with an outrageously long caption meant to correct any misinformation. She explains that suntanning your ******* is meant to promote the “health & longevity of the physical body,” increase “creativity and creative output” and aid “in a healthy libido & balanced sexual energy.” It is definitely “NOT TO TAN YOUR BUTTHOLE‼️‼️” Also, “sunscreen is not required.”

I think I would very much enjoy taking shrooms with this woman at Joshua Tree.

So, there you have it. Sunbathe your ******* for a boost of energy. Hell, at least this is a practice that won’t set you back hundreds of dollars or second degree vaginal burns*, like those wellness scams at Goop.

A brief search did turn up some blogs about the Taoist practice of sunning your Yoni and potentially your taint, but nothing *******-specific. If any Jezebel readers are an expert in this field, I would love to know more. Also, back in 2014, actor Shailene Woodley wrote an essay in which she recommended people try sunbathing their vaginas, so there’s that.

*Actually, I’m not so sure about the vaginal burns. Maybe don’t sit outside with your anus exposed for too long.

Another racist republican running for office.Danielle Stella, a Republican seeking to unseat Rep. Ilhan Omar, Minnesota Democrat, was suspended from Twitter after her account posted Tuesday about killing the congresswoman.

Ms. Stella’s campaign account on Twitter, @2020MNCongress, was punted from the platform after posting at least twice about hanging Ms. Omar, a progressive freshman frequently the target of right-wing attacks.

Each tweet involved an accusation recently amplified by Ms. Omar’s opponents that alleges she shared sensitive information with the Iranian government — a claim the congresswoman has since rejected as “outlandishly absurd.”

“If it is proven @IlhanMN passed sensitive info to Iran, she should be tried for #treason and hanged,” Ms. Stella’s campaign account said in the first tweet.
