USA news & politics

So remember that mayor that was arrested for supposedly forcing his way into a detention facility? Yeah, charges were dropped and now he is suing for false arrest, malicious imprisonment and defamation. IF what he is saying is true, Alina Habba as the state attorney who pushed the charges, is absolutely ******.

Time will tell but this could be one of the first cases proven and convicted in court of abuse of power by Maga loyalists, part of a trend that has been happening.

So Republicans on Oklahoma have passed a new education curriculum which essentially teaches students that the 2020 election was stolen, essentially a carbon copy of the "teach the controversy" tactic used by creationists.

When questioned, Trumps education secretary refused to say if teaching that the 2020 election was not stolen would be deemed "DEI" and illegal. She also didn't know about the Tulsa race riots or other events relating to the civil rights movement in the USA, or confirm if they would be deemed illegal to teach.

This is on top of the administration benning scientific research using government funding from using certain words. THIS is what actual censorship and propaganda looks like, but the free speech crowd are deathly silent, just like those who cried about the deficit are silent at Trump exploding it to the highest levels ever.

jesus, we're going to a wedding in Oklahoma in september....im going to have to stand in the corner and not talk to anyone to avoid having major disagreements with people
 
I think there’s a post of me somewhere saying don’t be surprised if the relationship lasts longer than expected. I do try and refrain from making political predictions, or rugby ones, so I’ll try and heed my own advice more in future.

His trespassing charge was dropped weeks ago lol, they were dropped while people on here were screaming hahaha

He was suing to get rid of the detention centre this year, it failed, so he turned up knowing he wasn't allowed in, was arrested refusing to leave, and claimed he was not trying to get in (he's on video on the property) but only for a news conference...

It's a politicking move, he's wanted rid of the detention centre since he got in, and has instigated, very clearly btw, the situation.

When an official tells me I can't go in to a prison, I don't need 3 or 4 warnings to leave prison grounds, I just leave knowing I'm not allowed to go in!

He isn't the interesting part of the story though, Mciver is, anyone have an update on her assault charge?

I'll be called a conspiracy theorist for this...

When the tarriffs came in the markets plummeted, I bought in hard. They rebounded as expected, my sp500 stock bought at 4900 are now 5900.

As soon as these 2 started their feud, Tesla stock dropped 15%... that's right I've bought in again. Why?

No other car manufacturers stock has dropped because of the announcement of EV grants, it's the petty shooting across Twitter that's wiped 150b off Tesla.

I bought in at 282, it's already up 4.4% pre market to 296.

Like the tarriffs, this may well be another market pump, lose 100b in December, recover, lose another 100b in March, recover, lose 100b in June...

June 24 Tesla was worth 200, meaning it's stock is still near 50% up in 12 months.

My belief is this may well be theatre, or at least designed by 1 party (probably Elon). I may be off the mark, but my instinct when Tarriffs were announced was it was short lasting, so I took a big financial risk on the market, my instinct says the same here.

God I hope I'm not wrong hahahahaha

TBF I don't judge anyone there are post from me 9 years ago where I said no way on Earth could Trump win the election.

In my defense I thought being caught bragging about committing sexual assault would be political suicide.
 


Amazing that Mciver makes the claim that she inspected other detention centres without issue, and without trying to get people who are not allowed in, inside a facility.

Also she claims that the charges against her are for breaking into prisons, and trying to help people escape from the centre.

What a bunch of BS, there has been 0 accusations that she was trying to help people escape lol

California should without the equivalent amount from the federal government then. They are the largest net contributors in the USA. They are bankrolling the Republican states. Now Republicans want to take more from them and give even less?

Funny how the party of self reliance are so determined to fleece Democrat states to fund their own.
