Pierre Poilievre going after abortion rights in Canada -- (link) - budice May 7, 13:13 4
- I'm not a Pierre fan, but this is false. The Notwithstanding Clause stuff is about longer sentencing on violent crime. Pierre's not touching abortion. - Name Withheld By Request May 7, 13:25 2
  - thank you, we all need facts. -- nm - Andie May 7, 13:26 1
    - Yep. I understand why this is the angle that the Liberals will try to exploit, but the organized pro-life crowd don't like Pierre these days. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 7, 13:29
- ugh -- nm - mud May 7, 13:14
I'm glad that Indy reporter/creep's name is a misspelling of mine. -- nm - mud May 7, 13:11 3

Poland v Denmark hockey - maybe someone should go skins? -- (link) - Reagen May 7, 12:56 3

  - Email me if you any other questions about your Dad’s account(s). -- nm - Landbeck May 12, 04:39

WA highway department has tested a drone paint sprayer to clean up graffiti on bridges so they don't have to close the highway down -- nm - zeitgeist May 7, 12:51 2

- *tags the drone* -- nm - Banksy May 7, 12:52
from the exchanges btwn Daniels & Necheles we're seeing (via texts) things are -nasty- in that courtroom. -- nm - mud May 7, 12:45 1

Pixel 8A officially up for pre-order. -- (link) - sycor May 7, 12:37
maybe she's waiting until the verdict, but today would probably be a good day for Nikki Haley to call on him to drop out of the race -- nm - hollywood big shot May 7, 12:17 9
- it'd be nice if she did it with Liz Cheney and her Dad and all the Bush's at a presser event. -- nm - Jovian May 7, 12:48 8
  - yeah, it'd be nice. Dream On, bub -- nm - mud May 7, 12:50 7
    - oh I have no dreams remaining my friend. -- nm - Jovian May 7, 12:51 6

        My last one was post-apocalypse and Logan and I ran into a long-haired, long beard insane Billy Joel. - LFG May 7, 12:57 3
        
        that's what is commonly known as a "nightmare" -- nm - mud May 7, 12:58 2
        
        How about this 'dream'? dream or nightmare? - Jovian May 7, 13:05 1

My brother wants to know what movie it is that Ryan Reynolds is filming in Montreal right now. -- nm - Mop🧹 May 7, 11:45 3

  - wait, what $122k? -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 mandy chem 🏳️‍🌈 May 7, 12:19 4
    - Hard to say if he's just recalling last year's headline or if he means more legal fees this year -- (link) - Max May 7, 12:22 3
      - She owes him over $550K in legal fees -- nm - Trending May 7, 12:24 2
        
        That sounds like last year's balance. I don't see anything confirming that he was "just" awarded "another" lump of money. -- nm - Max May 7, 12:26 1
        
        He's reupping his brag from last year. -- nm - Reagen May 7, 12:52
  - Does a trial continue if the defendant is in jail for contempt, or does it delay? -- nm - Max May 7, 12:01 6
    - He stays overnight and then comes to court. -- nm - pmb May 7, 12:05 3
      - oh, JailBNB eh? Would he get to wear his suit or has to wear jail stripes? -- nm - Max May 7, 12:10 2
        
        He would be allowed to change. Having to show up in prison orange is seen as prejudicial. -- nm - pmb May 7, 12:11 1
        
        Most likely he would be held in the back court holding cage surrounded by Ss and bailiffs -- nm - zeitgeist May 7, 12:40
    - many defendants are in jail during their trial, are they not? -- nm - Beryllium May 7, 12:03
    - If jail didn’t delay it, I’m sure the inevitable appeal of any sentence would. -- nm* - znufrii May 7, 12:03
  - This HAS to be the contempt that lands him in jail? right? RIGHT??? nm - Turd Ferguson May 7, 11:57 6
    - I doubt it. Frankly, from what I'm reading, the judge wasn't too happy with her testimony and sustained many objections. The fact that he had sex - pmb May 7, 12:08 4
      - Does the relevance of her testimony matter when (after 10 convictions already) he's violating the gag order while she's testifying?? -- nm - Turd Ferguson May 7, 12:27 1
        
        Judge may give more leeway if he thinks that she went beyond boundaries. We'll see. I'm just speculating. -- nm - pmb May 7, 12:31
      - evidentiarily, there's nothing to prevent the state from entering all these postings as admissions by a party in interest at the close of testimony? - hollywood big shot May 7, 12:14 1
        
        Is denial an admission? Certainly if it has evidentiary relevance anything he publicly says could be admitted, but I'm not sure his denial helps or - pmb May 7, 12:21
    - That’s what he’s hoping for, at any rate, is my guess. -- nm - znufrii May 7, 12:02
  - It’s his only play, really. Put him in jail and he becomes a “political prisoner” and that becomes the dominant narrative, not the trial itself. -- nm* - znufrii May 7, 11:54 19
    - Today of all days, he needs the distraction because he just ruined porn for everyone. - David May 7, 11:56 18
      - The dozing off, the farting, and now the nailing a porn star that reminds him of his daughter. It's hard for the deplorables to ignore it all. -- nm - Mop🧹 May 7, 12:24 2
        
        it's easy if they never hear about it, by only following fake news sources. If they do hear about it, they'll call it fake news. -- nm* - mud May 7, 12:27 1
        
        *CORRECT* - Jovian May 7, 12:40
      - I'm missing something -- was she ever that popular a starlet? Why her of all people? -- nm - Will Hunting May 7, 12:09 14
        
        Part of her testimony was they met at a golf course—the company she worked for was hosting—they had a meet and greet at every hole and she was at one - Trending May 7, 12:15 1
        
        slight edit "they had a meet and greet at every hole and she was one" -- nm - zeitgeist May 7, 13:16
        
        She did real TV and films, so she was at least at that level. - David May 7, 12:13
        
        "They're called boobs, Ed." -- nm - Max May 7, 12:11 10
        
        Again -- porn starlet...especially back then -- she wasn't unique. -- nm - Will Hunting May 7, 12:12 9
        
        Reminded him of his daughter? -- nm - Max May 7, 12:21 7
        
        I will pay everyone on ST a dollar never to mention this again. -- (edited) - David May 7, 12:51 4
        
        No one tell him about the Nobody Speak lyrics from Run the Jewels -- nm - Pippy Shark May 7, 13:01
        
        Sadly, it should be mentioned every time Trump's name comes up as a serious option for reelection. -- nm - LFG May 7, 12:55 2
        
        No shit - "Hey, you look like my daughter, wanna spank me with the latest issue of Forbes?" -- nm - Turd Ferguson May 7, 13:11 1
