Congrats on hitting 30 years! I started in 92 so I hit 32 this year. Started out on Slackware installed by floppies, and also used the first live CD (came in the back of a book) called Yggdrasil.

Saw you recommended Ubuntu Mate. What's funny is I just recommended the same on another one of these threads.

If you tell me you also used an AT&T 3B2 or a Sperry/Unisys mainframe at work we could be lost brothers.

Well to be honest he was in court multiple times - just not criminal court. He had 6 businesses go bankrupt, and one or more were casinos so I'm sure those were fun.
There were also a bunch of lawsuits from or against him but he might not have had to appear for them.

Of course none of them were indictments, but he's been in court more times than a bad lawyer.

It is extremely impressive though that he was never attacked by the government until now.

It doesn't have to be deep. Just wait until the tide goes out, then put him in where the tide will come back in - just over his head. They come in and out every 6 hours and 12ish minutes. During the time he would be waiting for the tide to come back in he could be stung numerous times by jellyfish and get a nice sunburn as a bonus. Another bonus would be to anchor a 6 pack of beer just out of reach.

I know, but a lot of older people, and particularly grannies believe nearly everything they've seen on Fakebook. When they see something like this, they very well could believe it because there are terms they have heard or seen but maybe don't know what they mean. They aren't likely to have seen she/her or they/them at a job, and likely haven't gone through the wonderful corporate training for DEI. They've heard about BLM but could believe an alternate meaning exists.

What happens when they are in public and overhear they/them or BLM and either try to confront the person, or they say something they shouldn't say very loudly so the other people can hear them. Don't think it won't happen. I love old people for that reason - they aren't afraid to say something out loud. Except they could get their head bashed in.

I know it's a shitpost, but people like my mom still use AOL email, and she would believe it. What's worse for her is she is over 70, and is in a nursing home with dementia. She says whatever is on her mind, and doesn't have a filter anymore. I'm sure there are other people like that as well.

I could be just ranting, but I do honestly think someone could get hurt if they saw this, didn't understand it was fake, and started spouting off against the pronoun army, or BLM. It is too realistic. It is a quality meme for those who know, I'll admit that. I just don't wan't some old guy to get his head crushed with a brick or board when he sees a BLM shirt in a big city and calls them a pedo or something.

Ok I've ranted enough.

A Teskimo or a Teximo?

If and when the time comes I won't have the time to identify as anything. I will be "occupied".

Come on u/Catsfive. The domain isn't even real or even registered.

This is going to get some granny hurt or killed.

Yeah, but what they don't understand is that the sentence is actually 4 more years in the White House. Oops.

That's why I am not sure I believe it yet. Cohen is smart. He may have cooked this up himself to try to get his own conviction overturned and try to be a lawyer again. What a great time to try that tactic - right after the Flynn movie came out. That was well outlined in his movie.

Maybe Cohen is telling the truth... I doubt it since his lips moved and he was a lawyer, but anything is possible.

Needs to bake a few more days.

I hope so because Scavino was one of 2 people that controlled Trump's Twitter. The other being Trump...

If you want sauce go look for the interview Lara Trump did with Scavino a couple of years ago on her TV show. He said it himself in the video interview. It was posted somewhere on here in the last couple of weeks.

From the article:

The 59-year-old has previously been compared to former US president Donald Trump.

You think that's bad? Biden said the other day that when he took office Trump left him with 9% inflation. He's said it twice now.

Exactly. I was lucky with this one in that I could just point the person to a post that I happened to read minutes earlier. It is hard sometimes to not just blast someone that we think should know something we've known, read, or been a part of for years - especially for those of us who aren't "social" people. The more I comment the better I get at not just lashing out or calling someone stupid. I'm actually grateful for that training.

Or - it will catch them off guard because they think everything is going their way.

Has it not occurred to anyone that this could just be a manufactured spat to keep the heat off of Flynn and make it look like he is not in Trump's inner circle anymore? Trump supposedly isn't going to name his VP running mate until July. Maybe he needs people to think he and Flynn aren't getting along so Flynn can get stuff done before he is possibly named as the running mate.

I've trusted Flynn much longer, and really never trusted Halper. I never trusted or believed her. Of course she may also be one of those Trump needs to make into a boogie-man as it were.

Personally I think something will happen mid to late June that will make one of them look really good to MAGA (I think Flynn) to get the people excited. Then perhaps Halper will get back in the mix in August or September in time for her to be considered for an administration appointment.

For as much as everyone seems to want to repeat that we are watching a movie, a lot of people sure drop that with the slightest hint of a problem.
