yip-bonk, to politics in News: Trump charged with seeking to delete security footage in documents case
@yip-bonk@kbin.social avatar

After the FBI conducted a court-authorized search of Trump’s home last August to retrieve the documents with classified markings that he hadn’t returned, at least one Trump employee apparently wanted to make sure that De Oliveira wouldn’t tell officials about attempts to hide the materials, according to the indictment.

“Someone just wants to make sure Carlos is good,” Nauta allegedly said in a call with another Trump employee. That employee assured Nauta that De Oliveira was “loyal” and “would not do anything to affect his relationship with Trump.” The indictment notes that on the same day, Trump called De Oliveira “and told De Oliveira that Trump would get De Oliveira an attorney.”

More witness tampering. FFS.

Refresh the page fixes it. It’s annoying, but not a big deal. It will get fixed.

Passersby need only gaze into its mirrored surface, whereupon the device will scan their irises and generate a unique hash or numeric code attached to their particular set of eyes. In exchange, each participant will receive a World ID and a WLD token.

What th’ . . . are you kids on _dope?!_

yip-bonk, to news in ‘Jackasses,’ ‘little s‑‑‑‑’: GOP congressman curses out teenage Senate pages
@yip-bonk@kbin.social avatar

“Wake the f‑‑‑ up you little s‑‑‑‑. … What the f‑‑‑ are you all doing? Get the f‑‑‑ out of here. You are defiling the space you [pieces of s‑‑‑],” Van Orden said, according to the account provided by the page.
“Who the f‑‑‑ are you?” Van Orden asked, to which one person said they were Senate pages. “I don’t give a f‑‑‑ who you are, get out.”
“You jackasses, get out,” he added.
The incident, which occurred just after midnight, outraged members of the upper chamber, with one calling the string of remarks “horrible.”
Van Orden did not dispute the exchange and defended his actions when asked by The Hill.

Classy. republiQans are so cool.

yip-bonk, to politics in News: Trump needed $225 million. A little-known bank came to the rescue.
@yip-bonk@kbin.social avatar

Alfa bank is what I read. No, it’s not them. Axos is the rebranded “Bank of the Internet” I once very briefly looked into, and of course the CEO is a grotesquely overpaid republican fart huffer who spends the whole article pretending loaning Trump millions is standard fare and everyone would be crazy not to. Also he’s against the “politicization of banking” (sure) and has no opinions about Trump’s definite role in staging a coup on Jan. 6th, and why would he, he’s a simple banker loaning money to some random guy.

TIL trump sold the Washington hotel, which, good. Although the US got screwed coming and going on that one. Also, justice is a cruel joke and the unredacted Mueller report sits mouldering in Merrick’s hallway bathroom, next to some Sports Illustrateds from 2008.

WaPo’s coverage of the 2016 Presidential race was a master class in journalistic nihilism. Why sure, let’s read their point of view on social media via a study they found that supports it.

yip-bonk, to reddit in Reddit is still a mess with r/place begging users to 'never forget what was stolen from us'
@yip-bonk@kbin.social avatar

The void appears to have calmed down for now, with the current state of the board suggesting a truce among users. That's good news for those whose art was being obliterated by the movement, though whether Reddit will listen when the money is now rolling in is another matter.

What money is “rolling in”?

Brexit and Trump are cut from the same cloth. Right-wing, lazy, authoritarian propagandists.

yip-bonk, to moviesandtv in ‘Rick and Morty’ Team Gives Update on Recasting Process Following Justin Roiland’s Dismissal
@yip-bonk@kbin.social avatar

Holy crap I read the whole thread and article to find out there’s no new thing here - its the same news as earlier this year.

I misread the title as “‘rick and morty’ gives up on recasting process . . “ and thought they were going to kill off the characters or something. Nope. No news.
