Political WTF news

legal resident of the US. Lived in US since age 3. 5 US citizen children (I presume; 3 were traveling with him and are definitely citizens). Some minor convictions most recently 2007 that just led to suspended sentence and fines, which he paid.

WTF because he’s white?

WTF regardless, but far less surprising since a white male.

Can that be? How would anyone know, even the household involved, if it had less than one bag of trash per year? Surely if makes no sense to suggest that homes accumulate their trash and put it out only once a year, though if nothing would spoil it could be done.

There.

Really big bag.

Consistent with this report https://www.fintechfutures.com/regulatory-actions/cfpb-drops-95m-overdraft-settlement-against-navy-federal-credit-union

though from that link I can’t be sure whether the credit union had agreed to return $80 million, or whether that was what the Biden admin was asking for.

Gee. Fairly often I repost (copy and paste) from this site. I don’t follow it, but it shows up in my FB feed almost as often as star trek memes, and usually I like what I see. (That’s like as my feeling; I doubt I’ve ever "Like"d a post from it.)

This one, though, is a major disappointment. While there are some legitimate questions about what happened and how, publicity stunt is very far below my radar.

Pretty tough one to fake. Need an “exploding” blood bag ear, need to fake someone else getting shot,…
Possible, but benefit?

Already crappy billionaire Bill Ackman paid to take a slot in an Challenger’s tour tennis tournament, hiring Olympic gold medalist and 4 time major champion Jack Sock as his doubles partner. There being justice in the world, they lost 6-1 7-5 in under an hour.
