Did Russia Pee on America’s Drone? | DeSantis Sides With Putin | T****’s Spicy New Lawyer

The U.S. and Russian militaries made direct contact with each other over the Black Sea, Florida’s governor appears to be giving aid and comfort to Russia’s leader, and the former president’s new lawyer came straight from the discount attorney bin.

Or that the existence of an NDA strongly suggests that there was quite a lot to hide about the transaction. Or that even the bogus argument Trump was honouring the NDA contradicts the various earlier blustery assertions that Trump didn't lie. Or that "no comment" would have been an acceptable alternative to publicly lying were Trump actually subject to some condition of an NDA. Geez!

The crack epidemic came about from the Columbian Medelian cartel funnelling its product into American cities. Cities that lost manufacturing jobs thanks to massive unions making production expensive. People in those blue collar neighborhoods began opting for rich quick schemes dealing drugs. Many of them ended up in the slammer, thanks to Reagan's War on Drugs. We can do Iran Contra next, if you like.

@JZ's BFF For eff's sake, stop. When historians say, "There are no truths in history," that isn't the point being made. Perhaps, if you hadn't fallen asleep for the rest of your education, it might be clearer as to the point about the duty to historical truth: the constant application and reapplication of the historical method. Ron DeSantis has clearly forgotten or corrupted that maxim into a trite excuse to dismiss and denounce historical evidence as and when it suits his own purposes with the faulty logic, "It might be a lie, because it doesn't agree with what I support." Don't fall into the same trap whilst attempting to argue against him. That's exactly the kind of electorate he wants.

One, I'm surprised Tacopina is spelled exactly as it sounds. Two, I really love that he was trying to grab the paper out of that journalist's hand.

[@Broadpaw_Fox]

"That journalist" is generally known by his first name Ari, and he's not your average show host. He was a practicing lawyer, and was good enough at presenting that he got a job on that national news show. If you haven't seen it yet, you need to watch that whole interview - Ari takes a very "evidence and facts first" approach to his presentations, and his experience as a lawyer helps him lay out those facts in an easily digestible manner. He'll even concede when there's evidence/arguments against the point he's presenting. He's definitely talked on the expected defenses that Trump will likely use and their strengths. Give his show a watch - especially that interview - it might be eye opening. 😉

[@marshamariner7897]

Boy needs a hand slap....I can just c Ari doing that 🤣😅😂🤯....then look at him w wide eyes....love when he does that❤️🤍💙💛✌️🖖..I'd feel a little creeped out if he looked around me w the wide 👁‍🗨 s and stare....it's funny as hell 2🤣🖖✌️😸

[@ninjabluefyre3815]

I'm just gonna call him Tapioca if he comes back.

[@alexyoungberg5232]

No sorry, all of them have ADD so five minutes is a long time. That also means that it's you that's being inconsiderate. Lock yourself up! Lock yourself up! Unless you're into that! Unless you're into that! In which case, I'd recommend rope bondage instead - most people are turned off of it because of associations with synthetic ropes, but if you get hemp rope, you get a lot of bang for your buck, and don't need as many complex ties to get you going, so the daunting learning experience of complex ties is negated... sorry, I got distracted by social theory. I can't stop simping for Anthropologists for 5 minutes.

Why has youtube stopped recommending Colbert? It never appears unless I intentionally look it up and I am subscribed to this channel!!!

This guy sure did seem like a mob lawyer, he was trying to intimidate Ari the whole interview and Ari wasn't having any of it. You could tell he tries to intimidate people

I dunno, Jesse. I don't see a sure victory for hazy Joe over crazy Trumbag. But Bernie would kick butt on whichever monster wins the Red Rose.
