An important note here, the family says they have the receipt for the diapers.

So it's an accusation of shoplifting. Not actual shoplifting.

Let me introduce you to 42 U.S. Code § 1983 - Civil action for deprivation of rights

Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress, except that in any action brought against a judicial officer for an act or omission taken in such officer’s judicial capacity, injunctive relief shall not be granted unless a declaratory decree was violated or declaratory relief was unavailable. For the purposes of this section, any Act of Congress applicable exclusively to the District of Columbia shall be considered to be a statute of the District of Columbia.

Seems pretty reasonable, it's a law that was passed just after the civil war, meant to give recently freed slaves the ability to sue over the continued efforts of the southern racists to maintain white nationalism.

Sadly this article tells you the current state of the law.

Harp was an anchor at newsmax or oan. One of the two.

She was creepy about her trump worship while on air, and apparently has gotten worse since.

She controls trumps social media, except for trumps use of grok, which is his other main advisor.

I've not heard about any foreign government ties, but it wouldn't surprise me.

But harp does seem to be the true believer type. Obsessive even.

I did see data that said a bunch of known disinformation bots were down for a few hours, but have mostly spun back up in other data centers.

I'll have to see if I can find it again.

Replaced by industrial lobbyists.

Not very high. But it is likely a specially tuned version of grok.

Want higher birthrates? Just convince people that tomorrow will be better than today.

That's how you see a spike in birth rates.

To maintain a steady birthrate, just convince potential parents that the world will not be any worse for their children than it is today.

See, easy.

Which is sort of wild.

Marx was very clear that communism could not be delivered by heroes on horseback. But then again, Tankies don't like Marx, they like Lenin, the man who lost an election to actual communists and then had them all killed. He seized power via coup, and then made himself a king, and wrote how kings (vanguard parties) were somehow vital to communism, and how democracy was not.

Blind support of Israel, served in the IDF.

I'm sure there's more, but I never liked any movie she was in so never bothered to learn more.

I'll say we over expanded college in the wrong way. Turned it into a business. That greatly expanded the costs with little actual benefit.

The court ruled that the guards were likely in the wrong, but that the man had to sue them in state court because the prison had never received federal funding and thus federal jurisdiction and the particular federal law allowing lawsuits didn't apply.

That's because Trump wasn't a client, or even a business partner, he was Epstein's friendly competitor. Trump ran his own underage model trafficking ring.

Fun fact, -40C and -40F are the same temperature.

Then 575K and 575F are the same.

But once you pop, you just can't stop.

State law. Rrump can't pardon it away.

Just drain it and then clean the paint off and sand it down to smooth out the stone again.

Then you can fill the pool with water that has been treated properly.

It's not hard, it just takes competent people being in charge of it. Not someone's "pool guy"

If they didn't, then the result would be constant SLAPP suits against politicians that are disliked by a certain type of asshole.

What should happen is that money should be instantly applied to the politician as debt when the case is lost.

That's a good middle ground of protecting them from the worst actors, but not from their actual actions.

I would also love it if a plaintiff attorney could act as a prosecutor in cases of corruption or violated rights, with the ability to send politicians (and cops) to prison when they violate rights.

The current arrangement is not acceptable.

Trump ran his own trafficking ring. Trump Model Management.

Epstein ran a separate trafficking ring. MC2 Model Management. (in partnership with a French pedo named Jean-Luc Brunel, founded almost 6 years after Trump's agency.)

They then traded trafficked girls back and forth, while hosting sex parties that they invited rich and famous people to.

Epstein most likely collected blackmail for Israel, while Trump likely collected for Russia.

It gets worse. Epstein's business partner, Jean Luc Brunel, was described by John Casablancas as a man who always had date rape drugs on hand.

John Casablancas was a man who once bragged to the New Yorker Magazine (in a 1988 cover story) about seducing a 14 year old who won a rigged contest that he ran for Elite Model Management.

Trump then hosted that contest and then signed his then 13 year old daughter up to be a model, directly "mentored" by Casablancas.

The thing is, DEI was always going to become political. Evey single conservative is some level of white supremacist.

You cannot hold conservative beliefs and also be a fan of diversity, equity, or inclusion.

The conservative mind sees people as all innately fitting into social hierarchies. And brown people are always at the bottom.

Trying anything that changes that hierarchy is seen as a direct attack on conservativism. Because in a very real way, it is. Which is the fucking point. DEI policies were a subtle attack on white supremacy via capitalism.

The argument was that companies that practiced DEI made more money.

It worked for a time, but the jackasses would rather throw money away than abandon their social hierarchies.

They're kind of mask off about it all now.
