    It doesn’t answer my question, but 20% of Trans Women have reportedly been incarcerated. https://transequality.org/sites/default/files/docs/resources/NCTE_Blueprint_for_Equality2012_Prison_Reform.pdf 5% of the population as a whole will be incarcerated. https://bjs.ojp.gov/content/pub/pdf/Llgsfp.pdf Hmmm… 70% are convicted for sexual assaults, violent offenses, or both.

    @Jolly said in Denied: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/06/pelosi-insurrection-my-story-hasnt-changed-officer-sund/quote BTW, I heard Loudermilk being interviewed about the Pelosi footage. That footage came from HBO and the Jan 6 Committee had it. And then destroyed it. Um...isn't that a crime? The Secret Service agent that Hutchinson said that Trump fought for the steering wheel, tried to correct that lie with the Jan 6 Committee. His lawyer was denied three times, three different months. When the agent was finally brought before the committee, he wasn't asked about the event and had to interject the correction in his testimony. https://nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club/topic/17603/a-bad-day-for-trump/123?_=1718110738839

    @taiwan_girl said in More election interference: In his defense, it is possible that it did look like Russian operation. Supposedly the "Looks like Russian disinformation" story was fielded by Sec-State-to-be Anthony Blinken. https://judiciary.house.gov/media/in-the-news/biden-campaign-blinken-orchestrated-intel-letter-discredit-hunter-biden-laptop A former CIA official testified that then-Biden campaign senior adviser, now-Secretary of State Antony Blinken "played a role in the inception" of the public statement signed by current and past intelligence officials that claimed the Hunter Biden laptop was part of a Russian disinformation campaign. Former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morrell testified before the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees, and revealed that Blinken was "the impetus" of the public statement signed in October 2020 that implied the laptop belonging to Hunter Biden was disinformation. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner, R-Ohio, sent a letter to Blinken Thursday, notifying him that the panels are "conducting oversight of federal law-enforcement and intelligence matters within our respective jurisdictions." "We are examining that public statement signed by 51 former intelligence officials that falsely discredited a New York Post story regarding Hunter Biden’s laptop as supposed Russian disinformation," they wrote. "As part of our oversight, we have learned that you played a role in the inception of this statement while serving as a Biden campaign advisor, and we therefore request your assistance with our oversight." In October 2020, weeks before the presidential election, dozens of ex-national security officials signed onto a letter claiming that Hunter's laptop had "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation." The former officials included former Obama CIA Director John Brennan, former Obama DNI James Clapper, and former CIA director, then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, among others. The lawmakers said that based on Morell’s testimony, it is "apparent" that the Biden campaign "played an active role in the origins of the public statement, which had the effect of helping to suppress the Hunter Biden story and preventing American citizens from making a fully informed decision during the 2020 presidential election."

    https://gizmodo.com/tesla-elon-musk-evs-cybertruck-satellite-1851529710 Sherwood News used satellite imagery to compare parking lots of unsold Tesla stockpiles in October 2023 versus five months later in March 2024. The images show much fuller parking lots in March versus October. This confirms what Tesla’s Q1 earnings in April said; the company is producing significantly more cars than it’s selling. Tesla’s deliveries declined 8.5% from last year, and the company produced nearly 47,000 more cars than it sold. This was the first decline in sales since 2020 when the covid-19 pandemic forced Tesla to shutter production.

    The bottom line is this. Cases are “important” based on whom you ask. And they’re “divisive” when that person’s important cases don’t come out the way they wanted them to. Those are stupid distillations of whatever data the authors had already laid out. A case is divisive if the electorate considers it so, which means a case is divisive if it's culturally loaded. The only case in the article where the three liberal judges did not align, is one with no obvious cultural loading, about a state requiring companies to agree to be sued there if they do business there. As for whether a case is considered "important", why does it matter whether anybody considers a case important? Why is that even an idea the piece needs to present?
