Kyle Rittenhouse Judge Says 'White Power' Gesture Reminds Him of 'Chef Boyardee,' Warns 'Proud Boys' Link to Defendant Would Be 'Poison' at Trial
Judge Bruce Schroeder repeatedly ruled against the government on key requests — including evidence showing Kyle Rittenhouse flashing a "white power" hand symbol.
Lol, he's not going to jail.
Literally says he's never heard of the Proud Boys and doesn't believe government intel on them being a hate group. El. Oh. El.
He contradict himself in his own statement. How can he not believe them being a hate group if he has never heard of them?Kyle Rittenhouse Judge Says 'White Power' Gesture Reminds Him of 'Chef Boyardee,' Warns 'Proud Boys' Link to Defendant Would Be 'Poison' at Trial

AOC uses a Kaweco! 
Speaking of AOC, she went to the Met Gala with an dress made by an immigrant fashion designer. Ignoring the people of course bitching that she dared to go to an expensive event, there were a ton of people saying "The woman who made her dress came from Canada!"
Yes, Karen, it might be hard to grasp but when someone from another country immigrates to the US, they are called an immigrant. Hard to grasp when it's not the southern border, I know, but I am sure you can manage.

“How can she be an immigrant? She’s White!”
Yeah okay thank you for pointing out exactly where the REAL problem is, Karen.

Just to kind of continue on this, the hypocrisy and double standards is always what gets to me. Like, a few days ago was Mexican Independence Day, and so many people here in the south were bitching about people flying the Flag of Mexico and that it's "un-american". I go to some random profiles of these people and the top banner is the Confederate Flag most of the time, and I just want to scream.
As much as you wish it was bro, the Confederacy isn't America. In fact, it's less "American" then Mexico, because at least Mexico STILL EXISTS on the Americas. Fuck.

It's still a thing because there isn't enough political will to dismantle it. The Air Force big wigs don't have the pull to reabsorb the space mission after spending the last decade fighting for weapons that have proven to be worthless (F-22 and F-35) while fighting against proven systems (A-10 and F/A-18 Super Hornets) that could be updated or redesigned for their missions. They did this because the 22 and 35 were expensive to produce and thus ensured the generals in charge cushy jobs at Lockheed-Martin when they retired. This is all but confirmed with the roll-out of the Block 3 Super Hornets and talk of A-10 Super Warthogs: Washington wants weapons that are proven successes and cost effective. Lockheed-Martin and the rest can eat shit until they come up with something that actually works. Hell, there is actually talk of letting the ARMY start flying planes...
To put it bluntly, the Space Force is here to stay. It's budget is going to be peanuts because no one wants it, but since the Air Force spent the last 20 years embarrassing themselves in Washington, there is nothing we can do about it.

At this point i'm pretty sure our Spock would have a goatee...
I mean I can't think of any time that a military needs a funding boost than when we're no longer at war.

This is blatantly inaccurate.
It's Lockheed-Martin, not Boeing.
... and fixed.

There's a meme going around about the disposal of used wind turbine blades at a landfill in ND. There's a lot to it, but basically the blades are built in a manner that makes them nearly impossible to recycle - fiberglass and carbon fiber are incredibly difficult to break down to usable parts. Basically, the blades are among the 10% of the typical wind turbine that can't be recycled.
That doesn't sound all that great, until you consider that your average new car has 14% of its content that can't be recycled.

Worse yet, they use a large quantity of concrete to construct. Manufacturing cement ain’t exactly environmentally friendly.

Friend, let me tell you about coal.

I hope we can get some Tucker Carlson on that, with this as precedent.
Actually MTG might be next, assuming the families want to sue (the Jones suits were originally brought by families of the victims of the shooting).

Good, we need to start forcing these programs to reveal themselves every damn day as "Entertainment" and stop letting them coast on the line where they act like bastions of truth on television and then claim they are just actors in court.
It helps that his scripts are researched and the facts are often well-cited right on the program. Similar to Adam Ruins Everything. Sure, the end result is to get laughs, but they're really informative, largely factional pieces. (Adam Ruims Everything made the odd mistake but owned up to it).
Professor Suspended for Not Giving Black Students Easier Final Exam Sues UCLA
If his version of events is true, this is ridiculous.

I mean what happened was that 20000 students demanded that he be fired for a dumb reason, the school suspended him for three weeks (presumably with pay, during summer break when there was no teaching anyways), and then decided it was dumb and declared that he did nothing wrong. All of his damages are fallout from the bad publicity, which is hard to blame on the school. If that many students are against a single professor, it’s probably worth it to look into it.
