LOLOLOL.
You too might find some of this amusing.
Yale has thrown her out.
So what the heck, you’re welcome
Glad to have you with us
Even though you’re the biggest criminal in state history
You really ought to lead Iowa’s public schools!
As Charlie Javice is led off to serve seven years in prison for defrauding JP Morgan of $175 million, UD once more asks, What is it with high-priced lawyers? Their most compelling keep her out of jail arguments in this case were
1.} Hey we’re surprised that big ol bank even noticed the piddling 175 mill she stole. They’ve got SO much money the theft of almost two hundred million is nothing, judge. Nothing!
and
2.} What, really, is the point of jailing a criminal, especially within the guidelines? “Justice” is such a broad, ambiguous, concept; if you look at the matter with fresh eyes, judge, you’ll see that nothing is ever served by incarcerating someone who has done something illegal.
***************
Wharton notes that Javice of course graduated from that school, which grinds out world historical crooks like nobody’s business. Read my many Wharton posts for their immense mafia.
You can’t make this shit up.
A worthy successor to the first Hangover film, in which four drunk lads steal Mike Tyson’s tiger, Hangover 4 (release date scheduled to coincide with Nicholas Sarkozy’s first day in prison) finds the foursome gleefully pinching Qaddafi’s sculpture of a gold clenched fist crushing a silver American military jet. Hijinks ensue as an enraged Qaddafi orders his pal Sarkozy to fire up the French military to get it back.
… and then trades them in at a local vendor, and then immediately buys them back from the vendor at a significant discount (sale price $5,693.32), and then sells them on Facebook Marketplace for $14,700, how much profit does he make?
… in their lawsuit against the fuckwit who keeps insisting she’s a man.
UD‘s touched by their naivete. Their nemesis is from pre-science. She’s ante-antediluvian. She’s farther gone than Robert Kennedy Jr.
La France is of course the great country of rationalists — Descartes etc etc etc etc. — and it would never occur to people like the Macrons that high-profile pundits in any nation would actually have no knowledge of logic, empiricism, enlightenment, rationality, objectivity… UD will admit that it also took her a long time to accept this. Living in the modern world, it is close to impossible to believe that millions of people, especially in an advanced setting, have never encountered scientific method. But it is quite true.
UD wishes the Macrons luck in their defamation lawsuit.
And a yoga studio on the first floor, for the contemplation of non-attachment.
Women are the people
They’re the people that people
Come out of…
[A Baltimore woman] waited at [a] stoplight and allowed [a] squeegee worker to clean her car window, but noticed she had no cash and asked if he had Cash App or Apple Pay.
“He said I can put my information in, and I gave him my phone. I mean, very trusting, because I wouldn’t think that anybody would do anything bad. And he’s fiddling around with the numbers, and then he says, ‘Oh, Apple Pay didn’t work. I can do Cash App. And so he said, ‘I’ll put my information in.'”
[She] said that the unidentified squeegee worker gave her phone back and said that it’s blank and it needs a password. At first, she said she did not understand what he was talking about as he handed her the phone back.
“I figured it out, and when I put that number in, it said, ‘You sent $900.'”
That’s Kadgien's (SS) Lady, painted on the wall, Looking as if she weren't stolen by a Nazi. I call That piece a wonder, now; the Gruppenführer's hands Stole busily a day, and there she stands. Will’t please you sit and look at her?
… as in, out of what possible world does this parody arise, take a look at this description of the August meeting of the Democratic Socialists of America.
[Membership] include[s] an inchoate collection of activists, and the organization [has become] a big tent for all manner of leftist tendencies—including many that lack any commitment to [founder Michael] Harrington’s democratic tradition, some even holding that elections [are] a capitalist-state apparatus that socialists should not use to come to power... Red Star, a self-avowed “Marxist-Leninist caucus” … openly supports Hamas and emphasizes “the role of the vanguard in organizing the revolution.” Whereas the likes of [Bernie] Sanders have long lauded the New Deal, this group condemns that model as “extending concessions to the white working class to secure their loyalty to the capitalist state.” Similarly, it faults the Green New Deal that Sanders and AOC have championed for failing to articulate “a clear commitment to dismantling the settler-colonial and American imperialist projects.” Another caucus, Marxist Unity Group, calls for DSA “to free itself from the Democratic Party” and “fight to overthrow the Constitution,” in an effort to “destroy every institution that denies the people an authentic popular democracy, abolishing the Senate, the Electoral College, the Supreme Court, and the independent presidency.” …
Harrington … once complained about a “vocal, and regularly televised, fringe of confrontationists, exhibitionists, and Vietcong flag wavers who could plausibly be dismissed as freakish, or sinister, or both.” Democratic socialists who seek to run mass campaigns and attain power with elections are now encumbered by sharing an organization with “confrontationists” who hold fundamentally antidemocratic beliefs.
