Trump announces new social media site called "TRUTH"  because terrorists are allowed on social media but not "you're favorite president".

And the stocks goes wild.

Trump is a terrorist too.

Border agents who made violent, lewd facebook posts faced flawed disciplinary process at CBP, House investigation finds

https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/facebook-border-agents-house-investigation/2021/10/25/b0d4f60c-3518-11ec-8be3-e14aaacfa8ac_story.html

The report found “significant shortcomings” in the agency’s handling of the incidents and said most agents who engaged in misconduct are back on the job working with migrant adults and children.
They include a Border Patrol agent who posted a “sexually explicit doctored image” about a member of Congress, and a supervisor who “improperly” shared an internal video of a migrant falling off a cliff to their death, according to the report.
“These outcomes were the result of a number of failings at CBP, including an inconsistent disciplinary process, a failure to train on and enforce social media policies, and senior leadership’s failure to take appropriate actions despite knowledge of these facebook groups,” said the report, which was prepared by staff from the committee’s Democratic majority.

Sounds like some of Trump's "very fine people" work in Border Control.

Do we expect anything besides lies and misinformation from Youngkin?

Ron DeSantis now wants to employ antivaxxer police for Florida while giving them a bonus! 

AGAIN, what other quirks does your personality hide if you are antivaxxer and a front line worker?

Clearly Alec Baldwin did not like Trump, he mocked him on SNF and in real life and was anti-gun.  

Still, do Republicans have to sink so low in what is probably the most devastating event in his life?

Donald Trump Jr. is selling T-shirts on his web site that mock the fatal shooting on Alec Baldwin's movie set.

The T-shirts promoted on his website include the tagline "guns don't kill people, Alec Baldwin kills people."

 

So low class.

Conservative pundit Candace Owens attacks Alec Baldwin over accidental shooting calling it 'poetic justice' for his previous criticism of Donald Trump

She had a Tweet about the "innocent people murdered by him".  Seriously?

How is this tragedy remotely connected to his anti-Trump stance?  I don't get it.

You made me Google as I hadn't heard this story.  I guess it's one way to get more cops on the job.  We have a sign on bonus where I work and have no mandate.  Wonder if they should recruit fired nurses?  Couldn't hurt our situation.

DeSantis saying it's not a vaccine issue and is available to anyone.  He has tried to promote himself as first responder friendly and previously has given out $1000 "pandemic bonus".  He also in the wake of the 2020 protests against cops wanted to appear cop friendly.

A trial process begins. From Opening statements to strategy to closing, to witnesses the judge allows, to leeway during, all becomes elements of precedents and learning experience for anyone like the Insurrection, prosecuting a similar crime. Now remember this is a case of instigation. Who organized and instigated the violence. And they have managed to secure possibly via the insurrection process, valuable online data re instigators and funding etc. There is already one prosecuted crime, the bloke who ran down the girl. Don't reinvent the wheel except where it doesn't work. This also applies to the following judges. 

The team assembled for prosecution is first class and very motivated, because they sought out the witnesses and fronts the money for the prosecution. The defense is also going to be laying out their strategy, allowing for future prosecutions to prepare for.

Five points for anger, one for a ‘like’: How facebook’s formula fostered rage and misinformation

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/10/26/facebook-angry-emoji-algorithm/

This is a big reason that so many Americans are angry and certain that they are being abused by public health recommendations for masking and vaccination. The effect on political discourse is also pretty toxic.

"Florida’s job market is recovering significantly faster than the national average, according to new figures. 

The United States economy gained 194,000 jobs in the month of September, severely missing economists’ expectations. However, Florida alone gained 84,500 jobs during the same period — leading the nation in terms of the largest percentage increase.'
