Yeah, he wore their shirt, they disavowed supporting him.
But didn't turn out that they were pretty MAGA anyway?
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

All the dudes from the Drinkin' Bros podcast were pretty MAGA. This includes Evan Hafer (owner of BRCC, who still has one of the greatest takedowns during a Reddit AMA of all time), Mat Best, Jared Taylor, and Ross Patterson.

They got famous for viral YouTube videos and parlayed that elsewhere.

But I'll have to double check some things because I saw somewhere that BRCC as a company contributed to Hillary.

Oklahoma man accused of triple murder confessed to killing neighbor and cooking her heart ‘with potatoes,’ investigators say
When police broke into Andrea Lynn Blankenship’s home in Chickasha, Okla., on Feb. 12, they found her body stabbed and her chest mutilated.

Earlier that day, the victim’s neighbor admitted to breaking into Blankenship’s home, cutting out her heart and taking it back to his uncle’s house, police said.

“He cooked the heart with potatoes to feed to his family to release the demons,” an agent with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said to a judge in a request for a search warrant, which was reviewed by the Oklahoman.
Oh...and there's this part:
Anderson had been staying with his uncle and aunt, 64-year-old Delsie Pye, after Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) commuted his 20-year prison sentence. He was released on Jan. 18 after serving a little more than three years in prison, according to court records.

JFC

another article
According to (Grady County District Attorney Jason ) Hicks, Anderson’s commutation application was one in a pile of about 600. Hicks claims there isn’t enough time to properly look through them all, since the Pardon and Parole Board only meets once per month for three days. Five people on the board look over them.

“It’s too many,” Hicks said. “You don’t have the time to look through those things and give any meaningful consideration to that.”

The Department of Corrections said Anderson was a “high risk to offend” at the time of his application for commutation. Hicks said he believes this stems from criminal justice reform happening, but not in the direction he thinks it should go.

“We have put politics and releasing inmates in front of public safety,” Hicks said. “The goal that we have set in Oklahoma is to decrease the prison population with no thought of public safety.”

That is fucking bullshit, and could set back the deincarceration movement. You hear a story like that and Fox & co. will get the right worked into a proper lather.

Rittenhouse's former attorney who is representing a number of Capitol rioters.

Said shit like this:
“a final-phase designed-purge of Patriotic Americans from the Army. Prepare for anything and everything at this point. This goes deeper than anything I thought even a few months ago. No one should be taking any of these vaccines, least of all the military”.
Looks like you'd imagine he would:

It kills me when people say shit like someone is working so hard at their job that they're dehydrated and exhausted to the point of hospitalization. You work in a fucking office, dude! If you're laying tar in the summer, sure you could do that to yourself, but working on a legal brief or spreadsheet?

I'm not defending that piece of shit, but i've been doing my job, handling an interim job for a few months and doing my MBA. I haven't needed hospitalization, but I feel like crap a lot of the time. And I've even cut waaaay back on my drinking and still get pretty damn tired and then end up having trouble getting to sleep.

It's been a while, but for one summary judgment motion I worked myself hard enough that I was getting dizzy every time I stood up. It can happen with non-physical labor.

(Though with this guy, it's probably bullshit anyway.)

I understand that usage of "exhaustion" as having a mental breakdown when I see it. Dehydration... not so sure there. Kind of fucked up for another attorney to tell the Judge he has COVID and is on a ventilator if he isn't. Fucked up and weird.

All of South Lake Tahoe, CA, a city of 21,000 people, is under an evacuation order because of the Caldor Fire. If firefighters aren’t able to get it under control soon, it could be a disaster unlike any we’ve seen in recent history.

None of this is good.
SUMMARY: Today saw a significant increase in dynamic fire behavior resulting in rapid fire spread. Critical fuel conditions and the alignment of up-slope canyon winds increased extreme fire behavior in the early morning. The afternoon wind speeds produced spotting distances from ¾ to one mile. Active crown fires and group torching was present in multiple areas of the fire, presenting challenging conditions for crews. Additional evacuation warnings and orders were issued in multiples counties late this afternoon.

For the moment at least, Roe v. Wade is effectively dead. Though I suspect the Supreme Court will probably temporarily stay SB8 maybe as soon as later today (Wednesday). But it's hard to imagine the Supreme Court as presently constructed either not taking up this Texas bill and/or just finally killing off Roe v. Wade in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health later this year.

Either way, buy stock in companies that make wire hangers.
