"young, nubile, girls" jfc throw these creeps in a volcano
Best we can do is keep making them President.
Volcanoes offer a very quick death. Your lungs calcificy rapidly during your descent, meaning if the drop doesn't kill you (heart attack/shock), youre still dying quickly and relatively painlessly (as this all happens in a matter of seconds). If you get past that point, the magma itself will basically disintegrate your ability to feel on contact.
So it's almost a reward compared to slower methods, you could say. Not making a point. Just sharing some info.
I propose Blót. Hanged speared then we feast, but not on the corpse that's for Odin.
Thoroughly macabre. I love it!
How is Blót pronounced? Haven't come across this term before
It's a pretty old term so it technically has three different pronunciations bloot like blood, blot like to to blot out the sun, and blut like blunt without the n. Though you'd have to ask someone who is a bit more familiar with medieval Germanic languages.
Very interesting. I'll have to look more into this when I have the time. Thanks for sharing what you know!
Cant remember the name of the particular story but there's actually a myth centered around a Blót where basically a war chief is destined by the Norns to be sacrificed. They try to trick the gods and it goes bad for him.
What about a Temple of Doom cage style rotisserie?
It makes the volcano spirits super happy though
Fair and valid
So the same 'grab them by the pussy' that Trump was caught on tape bragging about, but more clear who is was talking about.
Yeah, this only reinforces Trump's own admission. The "grab'em by the pussy" comment seemed like immature hyperbole, but with this letter, now it seems like grabbing a woman's crotch is his signature move.
Like I said yesterday: "once it's on the internet, it's there forever"
It's remarkable how quickly the pages that publish things like this or the 60 Minutes CECOT segment disappear. Putting it on the fediverse will hopefully protect it from being suppressed. Torrents are important too.
Cecot torrent is seeded and I have it on soulseek.
TIL that SoulSeek still exists.
Hell yeah it does
It's all over the place, now. My lemmy feed is full of news stories about it.
Most of my coworkers have not even heard about it. Even less looked for it. It may be everywhere on lemmy but lemmy is very little known in the real world.
It's on Reddit and other places too. Your coworkers haven't heard of it yet because it dropped in the middle of the night. Stop expecting everyone else to be as terminally online as yourself.
Not everyone is on reddit, but I do hope the news cycle will pick it up in time.
This letter came to light in 2023. They've managed to keep it quiet for 2 years.
Now it's time to blow this up. This should be the first story on every evening newscast to tonight.
But it won't be, especially CBS. I'd be surprised if it even gets mentioned anywhere on TV.
My guess is a 'turncoat' in the DoJ 'accidentally' let this one, and other similar ones, slip through. Or they're all just fucking incompetent. Take your pick.
Ironically being the only one who isn't an actual traitor to the United States.
True day!
Does "short route" home here mean suicide or blackmail? God this shit never clarifies anything but it definitely incriminates Trump.
I took it to mean suicide. I can't imagine what else it would mean.
The use of the word "home" throws me off. If he said "out" I'd figure it was suicide but home is like "does epstein believe in some kind of afterlife?" Idk its weird. I almost wonder if there was a scheme to bust him out of prison but it turned into murdering him.
He's speaking in metaphor, which he seems to like doing often because, like his dumb pedophile cohort, he thinks he's the Riddler or something.
He doesn't need to actually believe in an afterlife to reference one.
Why does it start on the right then move to the left? Is this manga? Lol
It looks like there's 3 separate scans on this page and they're just laid out wrong
It looks like the back of a postcard. Maybe the prison only allows postcards so they can read everyone's mail? Seems like the kind of thing US prisons might do.
Are you supposed to write postcards backwards though? I would have filled it out left to right
On closer inspection the line down the middle is a bit wobbly and there are faint outlines around the pages. I think someone just scanned the envelope and pages and assembled them in the wrong order.
