  • The judge who sentenced them this way has one of the highest rate of overturning in the country and has long been used in order to rule on stuff that’s not even his jurisdiction because he always rules with the Republican interests. Turns out when judges are the ones who are supposed to say, “no jurisdiction” they could theoretically just not say that… It will be overturned for a different sentence, but there’s something to be said that judges with purely ideological leanings getting consistently admonished from higher courts for dogshit opinions probably shouldn’t be allowed to remain being judges without consequences.








  • Honestly it’s far worse. People in positions like Zucker can change results and manipulate their own market. There’s already a bunch of stories about athletes betting against themselves, as if that’s remotely the most egregious instances of corruption with Kalshi and Polymarket. As the other user mentioned, regulations are non existent for the President’s failsons. Recently Polymarket was caught breaking advertising laws by faking bets, lying about their sponsorships, and encouraging their partners to lie using official channels.




  • NYT living up to their name, asking the real questions like why voters would prefer someone who in their interpersonal life made the mistakes of cheating and of dating a conservative operative, as well as who was a worse person 15 years ago, versus someone with a long record of pretending to care about women and helping to steal supreme court positions which directly led to incalculable suffering of women across the country.

    “Why do these people suddenly care about results and actual harm?!” We’ve told them how they feel and it’s not working. People are supposed to forget who ruined their life after the month’s news cycle. We do."





  • They all think they’ll be saved by the rapture, despite being the most disgusting wretched humans on earth. Additional reading about how they think it’ll happen, salivating imagining they’ll be the pilot or the driver getting beamed up heaven while the nonbelievers fly off the road or crash from cruising altitude.

    Or Calvanists to the Catholics in the 1600s: We are the pure and chosen few, and all the rest are damned. There’s room enough in hell for you — we don’t want heaven crammed.
