    https://www.forbes.com/sites/siladityaray/2026/03/06/justice-department-releases-some-missing-epstein-files-that-include-allegations-against-trump/ The Justice Department released more Epstein files Thursday that include allegations made by a woman accusing President Donald Trump of sexually abusing her when she was a minor, one week after Democrats on the House Oversight Committee began investigating why these documents were withheld. President Donald Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing with regards to his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

    The Atlantic released an article yesterday morning about how Trump's aides said he's going to announce his support for Cornyn and ask (Paxton) to drop out. Until then the thought (and my Kalshi bet!) was that Paxton would win in a run-off since he'd suck up most of the 3rd candidate (Hunt)'s voters. Paxton is like Trump... scandals, impeached I think, maybe a felony or two, election sore loser and fraud believer... if Paxton were to beat Cornyn in the runoff, there's a higher chance the democrat Talarico could win, so the GOP would have to spend even more to win the seat, vs a cheaper and better odds win if it's Cornyn. Trump doesn't like to align with losers... at least not on purpose.

    @Mik said in Seems Keith Olbermann doesn't like anybody.: True enough. Must be a miserable existence. I've said it before, but the difference between being miserable and being depressed is that nobody enjoys being depressed.

    Yeah, I had one eye done, the left eye hasn't progressed far enough yet. Surprising since I had the right done in 2019. But I'm sure it will. The surgery is no big deal. The eyedrops after are a pain in the ass.

    I didn’t mean to imply that ‘don’t worry it can be refunded’ was the entirety of their argument. But it was important. Showing irreparable harm is required to get a preliminary injunction. The supposed ability to refund the cost of the tarrifs was key to saying the damage was reparable. (For large companies at least. Of course some smaller companies could claim they’d go out of business due to tariffs which would be irreparable despite the possibility of refunds but those companies probably didn’t have the money to sue anyway and probably weren’t plaintiffs in front of the court).

    Makes me glad I don't code anymore. But if I did I'd surely have been an early adopter.

    Good. My hope is the military intel is smarter than the average public Joe…aka they know how many bullets Iran has left. “Are you feeling lucky?”

    That reminds me many years ago there was a thread next door about googling your own name and did you show up in the results and if so what page etc (this was back when most people weren’t googlable). Our own Steve Miller just replied. ‘Nope. There’s some guy with a band who gets all the hits.’

    My understanding is that the government dropped the defense and then resumed it next day.
