In 1833 (the year of the Abolition Act), there were 31,300 ‘Free Colored’ people in Jamaica, who ‘owned’ 70,000 of the islands 311,000 slaves.

S0, to summarize, King doesn’t know (or care about) the difference between being a person who owns slaves and being a slave raped by a person who owns slaves.

Yeah MBDTF was my GOAT for a long while. I fucking loved that album, and would play it every chance I could. The memories of me and my friends in the car singing All of the lights or Monster.

that’s why it so fucking hurts that Kanye went the way he did. I mean I probably like Yeezus more than most people, and I…

that’s the danger of the validation loop. it never ends. it’s a dog chasing its tail.

Honestly, I think it could have done everything he wanted it to do and not be enough. Kanye has always been one where it doesn’t matter, he wants more, more, more. Like many, many artists of all mediums, the ‘All artists are attention whores’ I heard one visual artist tell me seems to strike HARD with Kanye.

He didn’t get any of those white accolades because this was in the shadow of interrupting white girl Taylor Swift at the MTV Awards. “Runaway” was supposed to be his apology, and people liked it, but the “right” people didn’t like it enough.

I assume that at every level of appeal where they try to present new evidence (put either or both of those last two words in scare quotes if you want) the first question from the judge is going to be “Why didn’t you present this evidence during your previous go-round?”

That will be the next appeal to SCOTUS and it will be written on the back of a stained bar napkin. 

Writing THE JUDGE’S THINGS ARE WRONG in crayon might have been more effective.

If there is a strategy it is that they intentionally want to get thrown out of every court. That makes them seem like the victims of the deep state courts which they can turn around and use to beg money from the MAGA crowd on the pretense of fighting the system on their behalf. Otherwise, I just can’t understand it.

I mean, that’s the fundamental basis for our justice system, someone may bring a claim, and the claim is then evaluated and continued, thrown out, or upheld.

Well, that would be why they need SPACE FORCE!!!!

I think a random collection of third graders would do better.

It’s gone past the point where it’s possible to fully explain the stunning level of incompetence and malpractice that this team has been responsible for. A group of random third-year law students would do better than this.

That’s... That’s not how the legal system even works. You appeal, you’re basically making the case again to a new judge with the evidence you originally had. Getting to the SCOTUS with the bullshit you pulled in the lower courts is going to have that court laugh you out of existence or not even take the case. I look…

What laws? He’s getting smacked out of court everywhere because they don’t have any laws on their side.
That said, their strategy is working, because 70% of R now believe the election was fraudulent.

The running theory in MAGA World is that Trump’s legal team doesn’t have to show any of their evidence right now because all the lower court judges are biased Deep State operatives. Giuliani et al. are just going to unveil everything when they get to the Supreme Court and Trump will then win.

I saw her live on Fox the first time she made those claims. Her tone was even, measured and she appeared to understand the gravity of her accusations. I looked up her bio and she looks legit on paper.
