I thought the main point of the tattletale laws was to avoid judicial review. An important part of that is to establish who has standing. If the law was enforced directly by the AG, then people could sue the office directly if they think the enforcement violated their rights. But since these laws are enforced by nosy neighbors, there is no one central body to sue to review it. They've essentially insulated these laws from ever having a judge rule they are invalid.

Trust me, we have tried. The problem is that while there was never a PayPal account verified to that email address, somehow a foreign number is attached to it. Every time we have tried to start an account with that email, the verification ping goes to that number, even though the email is unverified. We haven't found a way to tell PayPal to disassociate that number, because we never had any account attached to it to begin with.

What is someone squatted on your email, starting an unverified account attached to your email address with their phone number, but the fuckers at PayPal won't do a thing about it?

Not really, all it requires is someone to produce a signed message with one of Satoshi's private keys, which can be easily verified with the public addresses on the blockchain. Whoever produced that message can be proven to possess that private key. Nothing short of that would be believable by the crypto nerds.

If we presume that Satoshi understood that Bitcoin may be valuable one day and kept the keys private, that would mean that the signer really is Satoshi, or one of his associates or heirs Satoshi trusted wih access. Even if that person wasn't actually Satoshi, their word on who it is would be considered authoritative.

Unless it's Craig. Fuck that guy. Nobody believes him.

What if I'm concerned that one of the candidates is a fraud?

You need to train it on AM talk radio first.

McDermott definitely knows why, he's just not telling.

“I’m not in a position to go into the details on it so you can assume what you can assume,”

Maybe so, but RFK Jr's uncle had Marilyn Monroe on his "ledger", among others, so the infidelity is in the genes.

The AI's ability to dodge simple questions proves it is ready to run for office.

Can you ask the chatbot if Donald Trump is guilty after letting it read the report?

You could try dressing like a drag Ivanka. He'd come chasing you with tiny groping hands.

Rudy already did that, and they recorded it. No joke.

The announcers were very excited about it while it happened

 

Former President Trump on Wednesday clashed with an ABC News correspondent at a convention of Black journalists, slamming her “disgraceful” questioning after she asked why Black voters should trust him with another term.

 

The phrase “TRUMP TOO SMALL” stems from a memorable moment in the 2016 Republican presidential debates, during which Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., made a crude joke about the size of Trump’s hands.

“And you know what they say about guys with small hands,” Rubio quipped.

 

Biden’s campaign proposed that the first debate between the presumptive Democratic and Republican nominees be held in late June and the second in September before early voting begins. Trump responded to the letter in an interview with Fox News digital, calling the proposed dates “fully acceptable to me” and joked about providing his own transportation.

 

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) scolded Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) during a closed-door GOP conference meeting Thursday, telling the Florida Republican to sit down when he tried to interrupt McCarthy’s remarks.
