Wow! Thanks for the jailhouse insight! I won't confuse my shivs and my shanks henceforth.

Not that I plan to acquire either.

Inquiring minds need to know — why are they "shanks" rather than "shivs"?

Is there a difference, are they the same, is it a regional variant, or am I simply out of date with my criminal cant?

"We all know" is the leitmotif of RWNJ whining and whinging* as they spew implausible, incoherent and nonsensical assertions to bolster their hatred of all things true and good, and to demonstrate their love for their masters and their membership of their vile clan. It's so depressing. ___...

My first thought was "Odd that it was at 4:45 a.m., not a usual time for checking on family, but there could be innocent reasons." But the linked article has: According to a criminal complaint – which is linked at the bottom of this article – a woman called police reporting a suspect, late...

Thanks bob, especially for the concise explanation of the state-federal nexus in this context. Additionally it surely simplifies the case management in court that the individual fake electors all performed the same acts so it's not hugely more complex than charging one person with one offense. Where...

According to a Tuesday notice, the FTC is sending 117,044 PayPal payments to impacted consumers who had certain types of Ring devices — including indoor cameras — during the timeframes that the regulators allege unauthorized access took place. Eligible customers will need to redeem these payments w...

That ruling is made with very large boots stamping on Trump and his attorneys with great enthusiasm.

Judge Kaplan was not impressed, not one iota, by the Trump gang's whining.

Gee, they sure went to a lot of trouble to hide what they were doing iffn' they weren't doing wrong. That's only because they knew that evil lefties, antifa and other bogeymen would misrepresent their perfectly legal and honest corruption bribery election interference generosity as illicit behavior...

I think JohnP is saying that building hardware and software that could be updated remotely over a radio signal seems very advanced for the 1970s. I don't know anything about communications and surveillance satellites but perhaps they were doing similar things back then? It's obviously not ideal if a...

The justsecurity.org piece linked above mentions Prosecutors in Michigan and Nevada have decided not to seek indictments of anyone at the national level and instead focused only on false electors in their states. Obviously that simplifies the cases and perhaps keeps it manageable rather than a spraw...

tfg is unindicted coconspirator 1 in the indictment. Always the bridesmaid. Well, not always. In an alternate reality… … Trump being told by an aide "sir, you are coconspirator number three": his face darkens to a deeper orange as he screams "I am coconspirator number one , always nu...

notice how the "radical left" is conducting "lawfare" whenever a RW site is losing 💸💸💰 Whereas right-wingers creating multiple delusional fact-free suits about wholly imaginary vote-rigging are "protecting the integrity of the electoral process." Not lawfare at all, no...

this will not do, you disappoint me, try again, and bring cookies for opposing counsel and the court

Have some respect and consideration for that other country, The Rest Of The World. Your guy, your problem.

Yeah, but it's not disrespectful to mispronounce (differently pronounce?) ordinary words. Names, it can be.

I suppose we should be flattered that in their pea sized brains the only people they believe who could shred their pile of horse manure passing as evidence they have created over 15 years is a well funded organization of Obots with unlimited resources. :confuzzled: But despite those resources, incr...

NASA's JPL has excellent news: NASA’s Voyager 1 Resumes Sending Engineering Updates to Earth Doesn't it put crappy customer service for washing machines, laptops, etc. into perspective? Voyager 1 is nearasdammit 50 years old - half a century - and it's 24 billion kilometres from Earth, so signals ta...

I couldn't remember what NAMBLA meant, one could fit any number of words to that acronym, but I think I would have found ten seconds or so to look it up if it was thrown at me.

Yukky people.

I wonder how legal that would be in other countries? I suspect many administrations would move quite quickly to close any loopholes that made this idiotic machine legit.

Oooo!!! Butterdezillion!

I had forgotten about that nutter! And my memory has completely erased any trace of her role in the victory of birtherism – perhaps Obots wiped my mind somehow, some fancy schancy machine from the Soros skunk works in Zurich?

My summary of Popok's main ooints from his video: Pecker is the first prosecution witness. He is a "road map" witness, being walked through the case as per the opening statement. Pecker is a willing witness, holding nothing back. Pecker described how his National Enquirer bought the Stormy...

:snippity: So much for eyewitness testimony. Or crack investigative work. There are too many cops who think a crime is solved if they manage to arrest and preferably convict someone, while forgetting that it's the actual perpetrator they should find and deal with. While it should never happen, it's...

It's not really about the eblidense in these arguments, is it? The birther or conspiracy theorist standpoint is that their wacko conjectures must be disproved to their satisfaction . Not disproved according to rational criteria, not according to expert consensus, not according to reality even, but d...

Yeah, the Rooskies and the country that had the swastika during WW2 were such good buds back then.
