    The state medical examiner’s office in Maryland has released a list of approximately 1,300 in-custody death cases that will be used as part of a review scrutinizing the work of Dr. David Fowler, the state’s former chief medical examiner

    Already found a clip on YouTube of the ending of this weeks Handmaid’s Take Episode I talked about last night. The show has a few rare happy moments before reverting to the dystopian theocratic dictatorship occupying the US, but seeing a ringleader of the events that led to the takeover get arrested like this. Loved it. 3 episodes left this season, one more season next year, then they go for the sequel. Read that book waiting for Season 4, Aunt Lydia, tge slave driver of the Handmaid’s, was really working from the inside to bring Gillead down. It was only about control, not really about reversing infertility.

    Well that about does it. I’m a total failure personally.

    On the plus side I dragged this out long enough that it’s getting very little coverage so Pappi, oh I mean Yes Daddy, do it like that….shit I meant, President Trump can keep on talking about it was all a hoax and millions of people will believe it.

    “Igor Danchenko, who was arrested back in November 2021 and charged with four counts of lying to the FBI concerning information he provided to the famous “Steele Dossier,” was found not guilty by a jury in Alexandria, Virginia.”

    I had Fox bury it deep on their website and mention it only once on air so….mission accomplished. I’ve been a good boy, Donnie. I’ve earned a session of dominance.

    When Trump and his attorneys filed a challenge in Georgia in December 2020, the former president “knew that the specific numbers of voter fraud were wrong but continued to tout those numbers, both in court and to the public,” a federal judge wrote on Wednesday.

    Further, Trump “signed a verification swearing under oath that the incorporated, inaccurate numbers ‘are true and correct’ or ‘believed to be true and correct’ to the best of his knowledge and belief,” the judge wrote.

    The assertions were made by David Carter, a federal judge in California, while ordering conservative attorney John Eastman to release more emails to the Jan. 6 committee.

    “The emails show that President Trump knew that the specific numbers of voter fraud were wrong but continued to tout those numbers, both in court and to the public. The Court finds that these emails are sufficiently related to and in furtherance of a conspiracy to defraud the United States,” Carter wrote.

    Why don’t you guys hire the Mossad to simply take out some of the Republicans you don’t like (which is all of them)? You’ll feel better. They made my death look like suicide, but it most certainly wasn’t!

    This afternoon D.C. police investigated a van illegally parked between the Capitol and Supreme Court buildings. The three occupants were from Georgia and said they had come to deliver documents to the Supreme Court. Police found a shotgun, two handguns, unregistered ammunition, a pipe, and containers in the van. The 80-year-old driver was arrested.

    Despite the Jan. 6 hearings, the many GOP election deniers running, etc., just 52% of Biden voters and 23% of independents view the GOP as a major threat to democracy.

    In fact, more independents actually view the *Democrats* as a threat to democracy.

    @19 Complain to The Hill: “Payne was charged with possessing an unregistered firearm and unregistered ammunition as well as carrying a pistol without a license.”

    And to NBC News: “U.S. Capitol Police said they arrested Tony H. Payne, 80, of Tunnel Hill, who faces three charges: unregistered firearm, unregistered ammunition and carrying a pistol without a license.”

    And to ABC News: “Tony H. Payne, 80, of Tunnel Hill, Georgia, was arrested on charges of possessing an unregistered firearm, possessing unregistered ammunition, and carrying a pistol without a license.”

    And U.S. News: “Tony H. Payne, 80, of Tunnel Hill, Georgia, was arrested on charges of possessing an unregistered firearm, possessing unregistered ammunition, and carrying a pistol without a license.”

    Are all these news outlets, and many more, wrong? Or is it possible, just possible, that, “Just like with a firearm, the District of Columbia requires that an individual registers their ammunition. When a person is driving in DC with ammunition that has not been registered, they can be charged with the unlawful possession of ammunition,” and Doctor Dumbfuck is a fucking idiot who doesn’t know what he’s talking about?

    Would you care to comment on the member of your party and candidate for office in Maricopa County who, “Will never stop fighting to protect the United States Constitution and the values that make America the greatest country in the world,” and vowed “our children protected from the progressive left” getting arrested for jerking off in a car parked on a public street 200 feet from a preschool?

    Steve is entirely correct.

    PHILADELPHIA – As Election Day nears, a new InsiderAdvantage/FOX 29 poll shows Republican nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz has gained ground on Democratic nominee John Fetterman in Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senate race.

    The race is now a dead heat, according to the poll of 550 likely voters conducted three weeks before Election Day on Nov. 8. The poll has a margin of error of 4.2%
    …
    “Oz is also picking an unusually high 14% of the African American vote and Asians and Hispanics prefer Oz say they are voting for Oz by a wide margin. Fetterman continues to enjoy a ten-point lead among female voters, while men prefer Oz at that same rate,” Towery explained.

    Your move, Gisele. Maybe that MSNBC journalist should be arrested by the FBI for wrongthink, eh?

    I attempted to ask Lt. Gov. John Fetterman if he was satisfied on the construction progress of the Fern Hollow Bridge prior to
    @POTUS Biden’s speech on October 20, 2022 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Fetterman’s wife tells me that they are there to celebrate and not do interviews.

    Tuesday’s debate will be between Mehmet Oz and Gisele Fetterman, while her husband John stands there, mute, as he did today while campaigning with First Vegetable Joe Biden.

    Fed student loans pay for trade schools, nursing schools, truck driving school, etc.

    Just because you are too lazy and addicted to pills and beer to drag yourself out of your single wide to find a job is no reason to cripple US workforce productivity.

    The US needs more worker training, not less. And we need more workers, not more lazy sponges like you, drafting on the economic growth created by others.

    Yes. Plumbers, nurses, and welders, all look down their noses at you. That’s not a “we” problem. That’s a “you” problem.

    I attempted to shout a question at a candidate from a fairly great distance and he declined to speak to me.

    BTW, I work for a North Carolina news organization so you might wonder why I’m at a fairly random ribbon cutting event in Pittsburgh. Well I cover the White House so it makes sense that I would leave the press area and then try really really hard to talk to someone else.

    October 09, 2022 – 1:03PM
    US President Joe Biden is “determined to show the world that he is not suffering from any cognitive decline whatsoever,” says Sky News host Rita Panahi.

    Mr Biden was seen in a clip saying he wanted to start his speech off with “two words: ‘made in America’”.

    “That’s three words Joe – even teeny tiny toddlers can count to three,” Ms Panahi said.
