Because Jack Dorsey is obsessed with the same "free speech absolutism" that Elon Musk is, and he's butter that people don't want to be shown Nazi propaganda, hate speech, and all that other shit on his platforms.

Dorsey is an idiot, just like Musk. Don't let their money fool you.

The US government also did time travel so that Obama could kill Kennedy.

If Elon Musk had had the misfortune to be poor, he would have been institutionalized by now. But since he's rich, the media just fawns over all his whacko bullshit.

The year is 2065. E. Jean Carroll is the richest human alive. She rules a business empire that stretches across the globe and even to Mars. This empire does not charge for services, sell products or even take investor funding.

Its only source of revenue is suing the immortal cyborg that is Donald Trump, who even after 40 years of taking Ls is still pathologically unable to keep his fucking mouth shut.

Warcraft 2 was actually a really great game. If Warcraft 3 and StarCraft never came out and utterly eclipsed it, it would have been an all timer. Warcraft 1 was also good, but inferior to 2 in basically every way and never got time to shine.

Witcher 1 was incredibly tough to play through, but Witcher 2 was great.

Only the Senate gets to block appointments like that, and Democrats control the Senate.

I would rather have an actual orange baboon as president than Donald Trump.

The good news is that Biden isn't even a forgetful old man. The media just takes every normal slip up he makes and runs it non-stop.

The US has won against guerrillas before. They won in the Philippines and had mostly won in Iraq before the Iraqi government pissed off their Sunni minority and ISIS spilled over from Syria. The US also crushed the Viet Cong during the Tet Offensive and most of the war after that was fought by regular North Vietnamese Army units not VC guerrillas.

Most insurgencies fail Max Boot wrote a book called Invisible Armies where he analyzed insurgencies throughout the 20th century and determined that only about a quarter of them succeeded and more than half failed outright. Not only that, many of the successful ones took place in the context of colonization and the Cold Warz where they had weak imperial opponents, super power backers, or both.

Yeah, this happened in Denver, which is a blue city in a blue state. No reason the Dems couldn't get her if they wanted. I still expect no charges, though.

I would say she did this to fundraise off of being a victim, but that would require a degree of foresight that I don't think she possesses.

Technically, no. The Constitution says "the United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government," but "republican" has historically been very loosely interpreted. Technically, China and North Korea are both republics.
