It is a witch hunt of course. Trump is just one example where the deep state is used to hound people constantly using the entire apparatus of the nations judicial process. If they can't find something, just make it up and run a story in the press. Doesn't matter if it's true or even obviously untrue. Throw enough shit and some of it will stick.

This is so obvious to me I am completely baffled why and how this keeps happening. Then you realise, you don't need to "convince" let's say more informed/cynical people, you just need to turn the tide of public opinion and you don't need to tip it that far either.

I think they more they hound Trump and accuse him, or make stuff up about him, the stronger he is becoming. At this rate he'll be back in The Whitehouse I reckon...

SEG probably up to their usual shenanigans...

Surprised there hasn't been many more. Seen so many near misses. As good as they think they are, there are just too many variables. Leave a bit earlier, take a bit longer...

Without the nonsense that the entire media industry insists we have to ignore from the last election, Trump would have won a second term as the most popular president ever [/Trump]

Instead, incredibly (!) a brain dead Biden somehow became even more popular than the most popular president ever, despite not even bothering to campaign!

I watched it all at the time so am baffled by the revisionist history that tries to convince me I didn't see what I actually saw...

This time will be different. There's no way they will get away with the same shenanigans. Err, I shouldn't think so anyway...

20% of the idiots who voted for Biden said they would have voted for Trump is they had known the truth about the laptop & the "51 former intelligence" people who signed a letter whose sole purpose was to interfere with the election... & Blinken is in this up to his neck.

[DefTrap]

It's hard to argue whether it's more idiotic to vote for Trump or more idiotic to vote for Biden to keep out Trump. It would be hilarious if Trump was voted back in to keep out Biden.
You could argue that 100% of the voting population are idiots.

A Labour MP must be getting worried that they may actually get voted in.

Met Police will not investigate sexual assault claim against Labour shadow minister

Now anyone a senior Labour MP talks to won't hear a word, they will all be thinking 'are you the rapey one?'.

Bring Back Boris

Bring Back Boris

The only thing I can think of that would destroy the Tory party faster would be putting Moggy in charge so I agree with you. He's a fucking liability but he likely took a term off the Conservatives reign.
So err, yeah bring Back Boris

The FAA revoked the pilot certificate of Trevor Jacob, a former Olympic snowboard competitor turned YouTuber, who posted a viral video of himself parachuting out of a 1940 Taylorcraft that he claimed had malfunctioned.

The video Jacob posted online showing his bailout and the subsequent crash of the 1940 Taylorcraft has been viewed more than 500,000 times, and sparked criticism from pilots and others in the aviation community. The footage taken from multiple cameras, including a selfie stick, shows Jacob (who claims to have just experienced an “engine-out”) leaping out of the aircraft with his selfie stick in hand and parachuting to safety. The Taylorcraft crashed into the Los Padres National Forest in Southern California, and Jacob retrieved footage from cameras he had mounted on the aircraft.

According to The New York Times, the FAA sent Jacob a letter on April 11 advising that the agency had determined that Jacob violated FAR 91.13 by operating his single-engine aircraft in a “careless or reckless manner so as to endanger the life or property of another.”

The newspaper obtained a copy of that April 11 letter, apparently before Jacob received his own copy, and elaborated on the FAA’s findings, including that, “Mr. Jacob made no attempt to contact air traffic control on the emergency frequency, did not try to restart the engine by increasing airflow over the propeller and failed to look for a place to safely land, ‘even though there were multiple areas within gliding range in which you could have made a safe landing.’ After the crash, the agency noted that Mr. Jacob also ‘recovered and then disposed of the wreckage…You demonstrated a lack of care, judgment and responsibility by choosing to jump out of an aircraft solely so you could record the footage of the crash…Your egregious and intentional actions on these dates indicate that you presently lack the degree of care, judgment and responsibility required of a certificate holder.’”

The FAA ordered Jacob to surrender his private pilot certificate, adding that failure to do so could result in “further legal enforcement action,” including a civil penalty of up to $1,644 for every day he does not comply.

Update from a couple of years ago. The guy has admitted it was faked and that he disposed of all the evidence illegally. Looking at 20 years...!

Fuck!

20 fuckin' years of YouTube videos (maybe YouPorn) of life inside? And adverts!

There's no choice in the matter. You can't file a criminal suit after 5 years have passed, which was well over 20 years ago.

Obviously anyone could argue that she could've done this at the time, but I think it's well understood that women often don't report sexual attacks, especially back in the day, and especially when they're against famous people with powerful voices and legal teams.

A law was recently introduced that allowed people to file civil suits for sexual attacks that happened in the past. She did that on the day it came out.

Here's another way to look at that factually true spin using "alternate" facts which the media did not want you to know:

The prosecutor in this case (E. Jean Carrol) helped make up this new law (the "adult survivors act": aka the lets get Trump act)

E. Jean Carrol along with Roberta Kaplan was acting for the woman who made up this story, err, I mean invented, no, testified...

They immediately started litigation against Trump they day this new act was invented.

During the trial, the prosecution "forgot" to disclose it was sponsored by a billionaire Democrat supporter (Reid Hoffman) but promised , honestly, this wasn't politically motivated (despite trying to get a juror thrown out because they once watched Tim Pool on YouTube who isn't left wing enough...)

Despite claiming to be a champion for women victims of abuse, Roberta Kaplan previously worked for none other than Jeffrey Epstein and famously defended convicted sexual abuser Democrat governor Andrew Cuomo.

Sorry, you lost me at 'facts which the media did not want you to know'.

Presumably the 'media' hang out in some bar with the doctors who withhold that one secret fat-loss technique they don't want us to know.

Edit: I've since done a little research on these 'facts' and, as suspected, they're generally either bollocks or wildly exaggerated. You need to stop relying on Fox as a single source of 'news' and thinking it's real.

I read this hoping to mock the pious twat, but £500 for 5mph over the speed limit is ridiculous, and who exactly is the victim that there's a £120 surcharge for?

Who's to say the media outlet you used to research the falsity's of Screweds info isn't also posting false information?

It's horses for courses, i think you need to take a pinch from each media outlet and try and use your own real life experience as to what parts are actually true otherwise you could just say that all media outlets are corrupt, surely that isn't the case...? -

This is kind of the point though. I would never dream of reading 'a' media outlet. I read at least 5 or 6 for every point I researched, and as the right-wing, pro-trump media is at least as prominent as the left or balanced media, I'd have expected to have found at least some reference to some of the points that didn't appear anywhere.

Picking a chunk of text and Googling:

(E. Jean Carrol) helped make up this new law (the "adult survivors act"

Finds (first in the list)

said Marissa Hoechstetter, who is among a group of survivors of sexual assault who volunteered their time for years to help get the Adult Survivors Act passed.

The law, which has a one-year window through late November, follows a 2019 law that expanded opportunities for survivors of child sexual assault to file civil lawsuits.

So, a law already existed, it's been expanded, and there's a group who have been campaigning for years.
