Then THIS happened!

The oft-forgotten full phrase is: “a broken clock is right twice a day, but you still wouldn’t use it to tell time.”

Similarly, often in reference to corrupt cops or politicians: “one bad apple spoils the whole bunch.”

And, if all the actions listed in the OP, it’s the only one that’s illegal. It has always been illegal to broadcast in regulated frequencies since licensure became a thing.

And they’ll blame everyone but trump, conservatives, and MAGAts.

There are many states that have 2-party consent laws regarding being recorded. In my jurisdiction, what the glasshole did might have been illegal. (I’m not a lawyer or judge)

What - seriously? That’s pants-on-head levels of stupid!

So, perfectly on-brand for the WankerPanzer.

It was great when it was niche. It was an exploding universe of optimism, unique experiences, and content when the worst we had to deal with was annoying banner ads.

Except for the makers of tools that are singularly designed to kill: gun manufacturers.

This has been their stance since September. It has been tried in several federal district courts and has been shot down every time (thank fuck). The Supreme Court has declined to take up the government’s appeals (thank fuck). So, a rare win for the good guys?

Set up a recurring monthly donation. It doesn’t have to be huge, I do like 5 or 10 bucks a month (I forget, because it’s automatically withdrawn).

Or, Alternatively, the original Batman with the soundtrack by Prince and the New Power Generation
