“developed skills”

I mean, that’s a weak argument for them to make anyway. The only ones to benefit from this new skill are the owners, not the slaves. Hard to say “I learned how to harvest cotton well” is worth being torn away from your family and brutalized repeatedly because they’ve decided a whole group of people are just property.

I’m glad the Confederacy lost the war. But I fear that it will, after all these centuries, win the peace.

Ahhh, now this is funny. Honestly made my day brighter.

This is exactly what I was thinking. How many incredibly sketchy, scammy, or outright invasive ad scripts are we supposed to tolerate? For me the answer is “none” and I’m quite happy that way.

Hubris.

Harming a child like that is probably the worst thing one person can ever do to another.

But… his golf shirts! Doesn’t everyone store their clothing in boxes of classified documents? I mean, where else could they possibly go?

(I wonder what version of this story he’ll tell in court, I’m sure it’ll be fun to hear about.)

“And they asked for it, they did ask for it,” Baier noted. “And then they went to DOJ to subpoena you. Why not just hand them over then?”

“Because I had boxes,” Trump said. “I want to go through the boxes and get all my personal things out. I don’t want to hand that over to NARA yet. And I was very busy as you’ve sort of seen.”

He went on to address claims in the indictment that he told an aide to move the boxes to other locations after telling lawyers to say he had fully complied: “Before I send the boxes over, I have to take all of my things out.”

“These boxes were interspersed with all sorts of things,” Trump said. “Golf shirts, clothing, pants, shoes.”

Reality truly is stranger than fiction.

Hey! I’m another reddit refugee, was so excited to find about things like Lemmy and Kbin (already a very light user of Mastadon when… things… happened to the bird site). I am ashamed to say that I wasn’t familiar with SDF until I looked at smaller instances that had great uptime. Saw this one, did me a Google, and… what an awesome community! The fact that you guys have been doing the public access thing since before my family even owned a PC is incredible.

Anyway, instant fan of all you do.
