… case. One of the more disgusting frat bro events this blog has covered over the years (the most disgusting of course was the Tucker Carlson/JD Vance beer fest), the pitiable death of Timothy Piazza at the hands of sadists at Penn St has inspired anti-hazing legislation, but it has also generated long years of appeals and delays in the hugely deserved sentences given to the degenerates who let the guy die.

State prosecutors said he was served 18 drinks in 82 minutes and then suffered life-ending head and abdominal injuries when he fell... Piazza was found unconscious in a fraternity house basement the day after the event, but emergency medical responders weren’t summoned for 40 minutes.

Details? How he was left unconscious all those hours? You don’t wanna know. Forty minutes? You can see their dilemma. No booze allowed and hey then how come this dude’s dead of alcohol poisoning? Let him lie there and maybe he’ll sprout in a few years.

 Vomiting, bruised, in agony, his limbs literally stiffening in front of his fellow drunks’ eyes, Piazza attracted little attention beyond mocking laughter, Snapchatting, and rough, random efforts to change his position so he wouldn’t choke on his vomit.

******************************

More than 1,000 counts have been brought against 18 members in the largest criminal indictment against a fraternity and its members in US history...

Video played in court showed that Piazza collapsed just before 11.30pm but no-one came to his assistance.

He was then seen repeatedly collapsing as he attempted to crawl, rolled around the floor, vomited in his sleep and went in-and-out of consciousness over the course of the next eight hours.

As the hours passed he was body slammed into a couch by one frat member, had a beer or multiple beers dumped on him by another and later lay comatose while one young man threw his shoes at the visibly inebriated college student...

A fraternity brother who was present following that first fall revealed in an interview that he was thrown against a wall when he tried to help Piazza, a claim that is supported by footage shown in court.

Kordel Davis could be seen making animated gestures after seeing Piazza lying on the couch, at which point he is slammed into a wall by another member of the fraternity.

UD likes that formulation.

This also is good: A writer calls him lethally calm.

… Project 2025.

But Project 2025 lives forever!

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand shits who blow.
I am the fascist state that crows.
I am the authoritarian’s chain.
I am the rightwing Catholic brain.
When you awaken having elected Trump
I am the swift uplifting jump
Of weirdo creeps who carry blight.
I drag your freedom into night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

Trump’s hump-mad natalist VP was “thrilled” to write the foreword to the Project 2025′s pontiff’s cri de cœur, and UD can’t wait to hear his speech denying, uh, that he, uh, wrote the foreword.

‘Vivian Vance. It was VIVIAN Vance…‘

Listen to France’s sports minister speak to Ukrainian athletes.

Democrats have already had a field day with Vance’s “childless cat lady” comments. There are signs they will take aim at Republicans’ broader concern with procreation and the birthrate, too.

On Monday, a super PAC aimed at youth voters called Won’t PAC Down posted an ad to X suggesting that Republicans’ focus on people’s private sexual conduct is just plain “weird,” drawing on an attack line that has been deployed by Harris and some of her allies.

“Your genitals are reserved for procreation,” says an elderly white man in a sweater vest, as ominous music plays.

Ex-NRA Head Wayne LaPierre Given 10-Year Ban After Corruption Verdict

Only 14, with so many years ahead of him.

Pinellas deputies have arrested a 14-year-old boy on a first-degree murder charge after they say he shot and killed a woman with his father’s gun last week… [T]he 14-year-old confessed to shooting Fernandez at random and said he got the gun from his father’s bedroom…

Soviet or post-Soviet, Vance’s best bud.

UD lately has featured preppy upbeat mugshots, but here’s one that’s simply …vintage. Our man hails from the barrens of Stanton Nebraska. He likes to get shitfaced, leave his feloniously owned shotgun at home, mount his ATV, and bomb through local streets.

[A] four-wheeler was observed being operated recklessly at high speeds and running multiple stop signs near the Stanton County courthouse.

Sheriff Mike Unger, who was on foot in the area, attempted to stop the four-wheeler near 7^th and Jackpine, but the driver failed to do so and nearly struck the Sheriff as he accelerated away from the residential area at 70 to 80 mile an hour estimated speeds.

…  [The charges are] speeding, multiple stop sign and ATV violations, willful reckless driving, and driving while intoxicated-2^nd offense. He was also charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm after … a search warrant at his residence turned up a shotgun and ammunition.

Somebody forgot to smile!

Meow.

12News asked [Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom] Horne on Thursday whether he believes [Bridget] O’Brien should be disqualified as an authorized vendor, given her history of alleged Medicaid fraud, nonpayment of contractors, dog-napping, and alleged SBA loan fraud.

“Ms. O’Brien is entitled to her day in court,” Horne said in a written statement.

UD won’t even let herself go there!

But…
