January 6 Select Committee
Re: January 6 Select Committee
"Historic" doesn't mean wrong, Herr Doctor.
Too also: Klayman still brags about how he got Lamberth to say the Big Dawg was a crook. (A finding overruled on appeal, but still.)
Bonus:
I expect Judge Carter will not be impressed by this "NO, YOU'RE OUT OF ORDER!" attempted counterattack.

Re: January 6 Select Committee
You mean you're calling Trump a crook?
NIXON: ...because people have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, I'm not a crook. I've earned everything I've got.
But his guy, people are saying he's better at crime, he's the best crimer, I mean, he does crime like no one has ever seen. People come up to me, big burly men, tears in their eyes, and say "Dick, you're not any kind of crook next to this guy" and they're right.

Re: January 6 Select Committee
I got suspended for something I actually thought was kind of mild but against MTG so I think a bunch of howler monkeys attacked me. I couldn't even get them to point out what I said that violated TOS, and I tried setting up a new account with another e-mail but I had to send a confirmation from my phone, which was attached to the old account and I was immediately banned again.

Re: January 6 Select Committee
There's a workaround for a lot of twitter obnoxiousness. If you look at a typical twit link you will see A statis number and then a "?" woth a lot of crap behind it. This is one I grabbed at random from another threadbill_g wrote: ↑Fri Mar 04, 2022 11:26 pmAh. Thx. I have avoided the Twit box to keep my footprint small. I prefer it that way.
https://twitter.com/TristanSnell/status ... _&ref_url=
Or broken up this would be
https ://twitter . com/TristanSnell/status/1499765764450131972 ? ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1499775564131061762%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es2_&ref_url=
Now if you click there you will only see 4 replies before it throws up a login box. BUT if you delete the ? and everything after it. the link will work fine.
IE
https://twitter.com/TristanSnell/status ... 4450131972
Or broken up o make it clearer
https: // twitter . com/TristanSnell/status/1499765764450131972
The stuff after the "?" is only used to track you and five information about where you linked from. Taking it out stymies their analytics and stops them blocking you. I typically cut that crap out as I hate twitter, which is how I figured this out. You literally wont notice any different apart from the lack of that obnoxious login box
I haven't figured out how to stop it popping up for looking at a persons personal page though
Edit: I encourage everyone to chop off the extra crap, namely the ? and beyond, on links posted to fogbow. The Tweet will still work fine but it will reduce server overhead, and fuck twitter.
I'm going to xpost this onto the tips thread.

Same. I used to be able to slither out of this, but finally had to build an account off a formerly little-used throw-away address which has now become my alternate sign-up address for thing while I live overseas. I predict that the cruft which will have accumulated on it by the time I leave London in Summer '23 will make it unbearable after that, but I'll burn that bridge when I get to it.RTH10260 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 04, 2022 5:18 pmRecently Twitter got obnoxious and pu the nag screen up for good, so now i have one of my anonymour yahoo email connected, and while it wanted to have me follow a friend the WH got removed after getting the account.

Re: January 6 Select Committee
I read both Mike D.'s and Akiva's live Tweets. The consensus was that the attorney for Eastman, Charles Burnham, was better than his batpoop crazy filings and the attorney for the House, Letter, did a rather poor job. Judge Carter had few if any questions for either side.

Seriously, a senior advisor to the President, a job that makes bank...and his parents pay for his cell service...

Steven Miller looks like someone who is still on his parents phone plan, plus car insurance and has half his possessions in the basement and his blow up sex doll still under the bed in his old room.

First reported by @jonathanvswan
Read the lawsuit here: https://prod-static.gop.com/media/docum ... 866708.pdf
2. The Select Committee’s subpoena to Salesforce.com (“Salesforce”), a key data and digital
communications vendor to the RNC, vastly exceeds Congress’ limited subpoena power and
infringes on rights of the RNC, its constituent members, donors, and other supporters. The RNC
and its millions of supporters face an unprecedented threat that will undoubtedly chill their First
Amendment rights and expose the RNC’s supporters to reprisals and harassment.

Re: January 6 Select Committee
Isn't that kind of like the claim by some solder during the Vietnam War that "we had to destroy the village to save it"?
Actually, it kind of makes sense if you believe, as it seems most republicans do, that the entire purpose of Democracy is to insure the election of Republicans and to prevent Democrats or other liberals for winning elections.
