Frankly, in this case I believe both sides… there clearly was instigation from Israeli hooligans and a strangely organized extreme response from muslim side.

But all in all it was a bit …suspicious… how fast both the media and Israeli government (even uncle Bibi) threw the word pogrom about.

What is lacking is anyone daring to make a fist and slam it on the table with the proclamation: “Enough of these transgressions! We stop them, prosecute and punish all of it now!”

But this had to have happened immediately in 2021, not the feet dragging and allowing court dates to shift 'till a few months before the election.

I refuse to believe that in case of clear criminal acts against the country of america the judiciary process can not be expedited and court calendars not be cleared for full convictions within a year.

I guess it’s also part of why Trump was elected, he promised the common folk to be the one that slams his fist on the table in their name, alas he was hiding that it was purely for his own benefit.

In a way I am now settled with the thought that the US now gets what it deserves… Alas the downside is that the US ego will fling all that stinky business far out into the world and everyone is stuck with the effects that they did not choose.

All in all, it is a good bet Trump’s presidency will expedite the downfall of the hegemony of US power and influence in the world, china and russia are rising up to lay their claim now.

Unox is not the Unox of old anymore, they recently dropped a few popular products, and changed recipes of other favorites. And then there is the pricing of some of their products, their rookworst is getting quite expensive but tastes worse.

Conimex I always found expensive and of lesser use than better “asian” brands.

So, in short, it does not surprise me that Unilever now wants to get rid of them, they did not nurture the brands in recent years.

A stranger looking up your, not publicly displayed, home adress and then showing up at your door, for whatever reason they think they have, is beyond suspicious.

Whatever happened after that is a different matter ofcourse.

… but why? Does it contain secret intelligence data? Nudes of the people attending the con in the movie? Why would I want these files?

And what are the “criminal attacks”?

This is all very vague and not in a way that gets my sympathy or further interest.

Frankly if the US starts playing the petulant child I can see the EU make their own version of NATO and keep the us-tantrum version as a side hustle for them to ignore at will. The new version might be smaller in scope, but places/bases far beyond the EU borders would not matter much anymore.

Also, the whole NATO treaty is linked to cable and transmission espionage … If NATO breaks apart, no more spy data going to the US …

When push comes to shove and Trump flings tariffs at the EU it’ll be because he already tanked the US economy with tariffs on “chaina” and needs a new scapegoat. And he hopes new tariffs on a different target will keep the finances afloat, refusing to see his tariffs hurt his own companies not other countries.

Perhaps part of the US wakes up when things they buy now suddenly will cost double or triple the amount in 3 years time.

On the other hand, the excuse will be a perpetual state of war aggainst ever differing enemies and that will make it easier to swallow the doubled consumer prices.

Perhaps he’ll join his master Putin in attacking the ever evil EU.

The music, in whatever that alien language was (not the original German) is a small stroke of genius…

For the rest of the show I have absolutely no idea what to think of it. It is all over the place, it looks great, feels like The Goonies In Space, but it’s also a new take on a kids show like the Ewok Adventure movies and I have serious doubts that currently a Star Wars for very young kids will make it great again…

Perhaps in 20 years a group of folks will see this as their new Goonies, but that does nothing for the current generation of fans… We do exist, no matter how stubbornly Lucasfilm is trying to get rid of us.

I do applaud them for trying new things, but the new things should come when you have properly and successfully rounded off the old things … now it feels like Lucasfilm is just shooting randomly with new bits hoping it’ll catch a hit somewhere no matter the costs, as long as they don’t need to make “legacy” Star Wars.

I only want one thing, and that is basically to have Spotify to get on par or get past the competition: Lossless Audio for a small, non excessive fee.

None of this music video nonsense, none of the weird limited audiobooks, none of the excessively paid podcasters. Put your funds in (lossless)development, go back to your basics Spotify, and deliver what the competition has been doing for a while now…

“Pay us to refuse cookies” No thanks, not reading the article will not shatter my world.

This is expensive cgi, it screams it. Not quite sure why they made it but someone needs to be convinced of something for sure.

(Just compare it to any footage of SpaceX landings, this video is far to clean, the sky alone is “perfect”)

Not sure if I am reading it correctly. But what ip adress is your given to your pc?

It reads to me like you have router 1 and 2 on router 1’s network but your pc is on router 2’s “internal” network… which must not be in the same 192.168.1.x range as is router 1’s network.

Put router 1 under 192.168.2.x range Then Then Router 2 with 192.168.1.x adressing should work still, and the pc should be able to talk to the router-1 network.

They’ll declare fraud and a stolen election anyway… The many lawsuits the republicans will fire up, almost assures that at the very least a handfull will get to the supreme court quickly, will be a certainty…

And, unless there is a shift somewhere, the supreme court will proclaim that there is enough suspicion of shenanigans against a trump win that they’ll just decide amongst themselves who will win the election, ignoring the “people’s” vote altogether…

Perhaps the military is willing to hold the supreme court accountable, because I do not see anyone else able to do it right now.

Wouldn’t it be immensely entertaining if the day after the election all current supreme court justices had vanished?

Thank you for elaborating on the backstory, seems I did not know half of the past of the case.

Tried a short google but there was no old in depth information about the case back then.

All in all it is at least a strange thing that the people around him thought it was a good idea for him to attend the olympics and enabled him to do it.

Well yes ofcourse, I kinda forgot that’s not always to be taken for granted :-]

“Violation of the Logan Act is a felony, punishable with imprisonment for up to three years.”

I can only say: Lock him up!

I am not sure where you got the torture for days from, there was none of that mentioned in the case, nor what he was sentenced for.

This is a bit of an interesting conundrum …

Granted, I do not know the details of the crime for which he plead guilty and was sentenced. Was it a violent rape? Or was it a concensual get together but she was far to young and he was slapped hard for it? Now I don’t condone it either way but it might give nuance to how he feels about it.

On one side, he, and society overall see it as he served his sentence (not all of it but that is not his fault) and is rehabilitated, he made changes to his life after that and made sure he is not near minors alone again, now even has a family of his own.

But, I really think it’s wrong to think rehabilitation means you can stand on a podium for admiration, or be in a place that strives for excellence in rhe public eye.

This is where he and the people around him should have realized that, no, no matter how good he is in his sport, he should just not be a competitor in the olympics as a shining example of greatness.

Rehabilitation means to be allowed back into society, in a menial job out of view and not in a spotlight of any kind.

It is definitely not a full reset on your life and you can do whatever, thinking people mostly forgot what you did.

So the bullying boo’s are quite justified imo and he should have expected this backlash because he sought the spotlight and admiration for his greatness in sport. And it shows he thought it a deserved thing for his ego following the years of hardship he went through after making a big mistake when he was young.

“Oh don’t worry, he’s just on vacation and/or has business there, he’ll come back (after he sold other hidden US top secret information)”

“I do not believe my people have done this” (So do not try to seek justice)

Interesting, thanks
