I told my wife this morning, I think his lil plan is to go on TV for this press conference, declare the whole thing a witch hunt, claim it’s because Jack Smith and all his mean judge friends have a boner for Trump, and everything’s fine, it’s all a sham.
He’ll think this completely absolves him, because he has come out and told ‘the truth’ and all, and he’ll waddle off back to Mar-a-lago, where the Deputies will be waiting for him.
There’s always the therapist!
J/K, the therapist might not care for that lol 😝
could you be just a little more specific? are talking toothpaste, charmin, downy, ketchup bottle, your significant other? tiny teddy bear? I’m just riffing here, in the absence of guidance.
Our household video consumption is pretty evenly balanced between broadcast and streaming.
Sarcasm, you should check it out.
Also, body text is descriptive or commentary, not editorializing; the title is the original title.
He’s facing consequences now. The conspiracy trial he was trying to have moved to January just got it’s schedule compressed down to ‘today’, the hearing got immediate billing, all witnesses were heard immediately and state organized crime charges leveled instanter.
This is, “having fucked around” he has now “found out”.
“Trial” is incorrect. In my excitement I conflated “trial” and “hearing”. That I got it wrong before coffe though, doesn’t change how fucked this guy is.
Edited accordingly.
Addendum:
There are warrants out for him and 18 accomplices. They have 3 days grace to turn themselves in. Anyone who doesn’t turn themselves in by then will be subject to arrest.
They gave him enough time with socmed to finish hanging himself.

It’s what Trolls do in order to misdirect the energy in a discussion. Don’t feed 'em.
WOOPS, it’s witness tampering in the state trial, not the federal one. Prior comment still applies.
This should be the one that gets him jailed. My guess is, it’ll be a significant fine; but any of us would be in jail already.
According to my understanding, beyond the event horizon, gravity is infinite.
I am not a physicist - I’m a guy who read Prof. Hawking. Given the nature of llight vis a vis observation, inside the singularity, mass and gravity approach infinity.
Mass bends spacetime into gravity. Gravity bends light. Infinite mass > infinite gravity > stops light == singularity.
Note that things happening near the singularity are not the same as things that happen beyond the event horizon.
My gut reaction when I first heard this story break was simply ‘Giuliani’.
You are saying something I’ve been saying for years. In fact, it was my parent’s generation who I saw anticipating armaggeddon, and they expected it in the year 2000. It’s what the lyrics of ‘Party Like It’s 1999’ are all about.
I get the idea that when it didn’t happen that way, it surprised a lot of them, and eventually pissed off a bunch of them. They felt like they’d been cheated out of the second coming, or something.
While my parents are passed now, and didn’t really share the perspective anyway, I think there are still a bunch of these grizzled old assholes around, ready to see it all burn before they croak, just so they can be around when it happened.
Also Idk what you are talking about nobody believing there’s an actual singularity; I don’t know what else you think is happening, or of what use the mathematics might be if it doesn’t approach some degree of accuracy as concerns the physical character of the phenomena
Thank you for linking that! I knew I had read that they could be, but I couldn’t recall where. It might not have been Scientific American, but that’ll do XD
While clearly they can be, infinity == infinity is still true, If I recall.
Also, I’ve got some simple problems with that crate analogy, Scientific American or not; any crate with an infinite number of anything inside it cannot be emptied, it’s in the very definition of infinite. Consequently, neither crate will ever empty and the pairing will be an infinite pairing of apples and oranges.
A couple examples of manifolds:
exhaust manifold on combustion engine takes raw cylinder exhaust gases in pipes that all come down and combine into a single larger pipe that connects to the input of a catalytic converter.
the plenum in your attic is a manifold. One big duct runs from your air handler into a box with several ducts coming from it, delivering air to each of the vents. the ducts and the plenum form a manifold.
In literature, it means ‘many and various’.
In mathematics, “a collection of points forming a certain kind of set, such as those of a topologically closed surface or an analog of this in three or more dimensions”
In Kantian philosophy, “the sum of the particulars furnished by sense before they have been unified by the synthesis of the understanding”
Origins: Old English manigfeald ; current noun senses date from the mid 19th century.
All from the wikipedia
They all have some descriptive relevance, but the one that really counts for us is the math one, suggesting the closed surface.
It wouldn’t surprise me though if it still worked; there are many examples of topologically closed surfaces that can still be traversed, if in unexpected ways. I’m thinking of another manifold, the klein bottle, and of course the mobieus strip.

Not even going there right now. It is an adjacent issue.
Not helping much here in Texas, though.
It’s added by the software, its how everyone gets the replies
@oforgetaboutit
So I am told.
That’s really not the point though, is it.
