Word on Xchan right now is that Babylon Bee is somehow shocked that all of their followers are Alt-Right Bigots despite catering to that crowd for quite some time.

A Georgia judge has set a date to hear arguments to have Trump’s election interference case thrown out. The kicker? That same judge has already denied the dismissal of the case against 2 other Trump cronies, outright and without a hearing.
Just in case you were still on the fence on whether we live under a 2 tier justice system.

Depending on how the goons see this, this might cause them to start stabbing Trump in the back out of spite.

It has nothing to with being old, you could have a modern bridge that is hit by the same ship and you would get similar results

Unless you invent force fields, no bridge was surviving that

LMAO I was googling “How to short a stock” and the FIRST RESULT was “How to short DJT”
DJT, if you don’t know, is the stock symbol for Trump’s media company that has just went public
Unfortunately this also means that it’s the most expensive stock in America to short currently :p
Oh well there’s always GameStop

You don’t need force fields, Background Human mentioned there are other engineering solutions available (such as dolphins and fenders, and probably others) to prevent a ship hitting a bridge from taking the whole thing down by dampening the impact.

I won’t shed a tear. He’s the dipshit that threw a hissy-fit that his political dynasty collapsed and decided to take his ball and go found that No Labels money sink.
And his most recent endeavor was to throw a shit-fit at Schumer for daring to talk bad about his darling tyrant Netanyahu over in Israel.

Nuts to think the container ship accident happened on the same week as the one happened in the Suez Canal by a bigger ship 3 years ago.

Not exactly. To quote a BSky post that ran the numbers on the ship and speed to calculate the energy of its impact vs anything:
I did some math and at 9mph and 175k tons the amount of energy to stop the ship in 100 feet (rough estimate) is about 3.06 x 10^10 Joules, or the explosive equivalent of almost 10 GBU-28B 5000lb bunker buster bombs. Back of the envelope, but that gives you an idea of the order of magnitude.
The other rough calculation on the energy transfers involved in the collision is “a bocchi ball travelling at four times the speed of light”. Or:
10B lb*ft/s is roughly the same as getting hit by a fully loaded tractor trailer traveling at four times the escape velocity needed to reach orbit
The back of the envelope math and discussion around it in the comments also points out that dolphins aren’t there for direct collisions. They’re there if the ship would have just grazed the area, allowing for the force of the ship to be reflected away from the bridge structure. But an impact nearly dead on would have very most likely vaporized the concrete.
What will probably happen is the sort of thing that should have been common practice and that would be using tugboats to guide larger ships out even further into the estuary

Gallops latest poll shows that a majority of Americans, around 55%, oppose Israels actions in Gaza, with only 36% approving and the rest having no opinion.
That’s a pretty major reversal and shows that any goodwill toward Israel has effectively dried up.

In other words, Biden and Dem leadership better get with the goddamn program and put his obsessive Zionism aside.

Woman being sued for developer’s mistake
The sad state of this country’s legal system. The developer is trying to force her to buy the house that was mistakenly built on her lot or swap with another one. The only acceptable outcome here is to give her the house so she can do whatever she wants to her lot. Adding insult to injury is the fact squatters are getting a free ride with it (squatters almost have more rights than land owners in this country).

Relevant to the story previously posted about the MAGA who got fined for deliberately voting nine times.
Crystal Mason, a Black woman who cast a provisional ballot while on supervised release after being told she could, has finally had her five year prison sentence for the act overturned.

Republicans are in cope mode about the funding gap.
Biden raised 26 million at an event in New York, the single largest sum ever raised for a one day campaign event. Widening Biden’s cash on hand amount to almost 3 times that of Trump’s.
Fox News brought on a GOP mega donor to comment on the issue. Said donor proceeded to say how it’s actually “a very bad thing” because “Biden can’t raise that kind of money without celebrities”. Ignoring the fact that A. Neither can Trump, B. He is a megadonor and thus the exact thing he was criticizing. And C. Biden has broken several fund raising records recently.
