Much appreciated rant, thanks! Since leaving reddit, I've been OOTL on this kinda stuff. Any suggestions for Lemmy communities where I might be able to stay up to date?
Yeah, imo it's pretty clear on the show (and Brumm has said it explicitly), but some people are trying to find something that isn't there and going off the deep end.
Like the whole archaeologist/smuggling theory is just a bit of fun about something that doesn't impact the show. We all know it's silly. But "bingo has a different mother" is something way too impactful.
Yeah, I watched it when it came onto Netflix. The commercials made it look really cringey, but I thought it turned out pretty well. A formulaic heist movie with a kids veneer, but it's a formula because it works.
Cutting a loaf of banana bread, 6yo me decided to use a paring knife. When it wasn't cutting well, I used my index finger for more leverage. It wasn't cutting well because the blade side was up. Sliced my finger up pretty good.
Federal Judge Aileen Cannon, overseeing Donald Trump's classified documents case, hinted that the trial might be delayed until 2024, deeming the matter potentially complex. This comes after prosecutors and Trump's attorneys presented their arguments. While prosecutors had urged the judge not to defer the trial beyond the 2024 election, Trump's side recommended a postponement. The case involves Trump being charged with retaining crucial national defense information. Given the nature of the charges, the case is governed by the Classified Information Procedures Act (Cipa), which has specific rules for cases involving classified documents, making it more time-consuming than standard criminal cases. Both Trump and his valet, Walt Nauta, have pleaded not guilty. If the trial is delayed post-2024 and Trump wins the election, he could possibly pardon himself or instruct the justice department to dismiss the case.
She has a lifetime appointment, so from that perspective, she doesn't owe them anything. Unless she's got eyes on SCOTUS, which historically wouldn't take people as wildly partisan as her, but times have obviously changed in SCOTUSland.
Senator Tuberville, previously a football coach, has focused on veterans as one of his key issues. He currently opposes a Defense Department policy regarding abortion expenses for military personnel, stalling the confirmation of over 250 senior military officers. Despite his focus on veterans, there is no evidence supporting his campaign pledge three years ago to donate his senatorial salary to Alabama veterans.
A U.S. senator earns $174,000 annually, and Tuberville has served for 2½ years, amounting to a potential $437,000 in donations.
Tuberville established the Tommy Tuberville Foundation in 2014, which is aimed at "assisting our military and veterans." However, recent IRS filings show little spending on charitable causes since Tuberville became a senator.
The foundation's revenue in 2021 was $74,101, of which only 12% was spent on charity, with much of the rest going to administrative costs.
Charity Watch's executive director, Laurie Styron, mentioned a lack of clarity due to the limited data provided in the foundation's filings, noting that it received only $218k in contributions over the past five years.
The Fact Checker contacted several veterans' organizations in Alabama, most of which stated they received no donations from Tuberville or his foundation.
Tuberville's staff confirmed that he has not yet fulfilled his donation pledge but highlighted issues and an audit of the foundation that led to a halt in its activities. They reassured that the senator will keep his promise to the veterans of Alabama.
If Tuberville maintains his pledge, he would owe over $1 million in donations over a six-year senatorial term.
