Election integrity is the hot topic in the last few weeks so after listening to this clip I thought I’d have a look for myself, ssa.gov/data/havv/havv… clearly shows an uptick in registrations correlating with the headlines surrounding the passage of the SAVE America Act, it seems there are people in several states in a massive hurry to get people registered.

@aakashgupta @elonmusk She was trained, by law. She had been told many times not to over serve, if not, the bar would also have been sited. TABC is no joke in Texas.

A bartender in Galveston, Texas was arrested for serving a drunk customer who killed someone. She makes $25 an hour. A federal judge makes $236,000 a year and has absolute legal immunity for every decision on the bench, including releasing violent offenders who kill again. 42 states have dram shop laws. The bartender’s causation chain has two links: pour drink, person crashes. Exposed window? Sometimes three hours. She can be charged with criminal negligence, sued in civil court, and lose her livelihood. All for failing to eyeball whether a guy at a crowded bar was too drunk for one more round. The judge has a pre-sentencing report, a criminal history score, a risk assessment algorithm, victim impact statements, and a prosecutor arguing the case in front of them. Every tool the system can produce. And when they get it wrong? Nothing. Absolute judicial immunity, codified since Bradley v. Fisher in 1871, means a judge cannot be sued for any act performed in judicial capacity. How absolute? In 1978, the Supreme Court ruled in Stump v. Sparkman that a judge who signed a petition to sterilize a 15-year-old girl without her knowledge or consent was fully immune. The court acknowledged the act was reprehensible. Didn’t matter. Judicial act, judicial immunity, case closed. That precedent still controls today. The recidivism data is where this gets obscene. The U.S. Sentencing Commission tracked violent offenders released in 2010 across eight years. 63.8% were rearrested. Median time to rearrest: 16 months. These numbers haven’t moved in two decades. The 2005 cohort and the 2010 cohort produced statistically identical outcomes. Judges aren’t making unpredictable calls. They’re making well-documented bets with other people’s lives, and the base rates have been published and available the entire time. The bartender gets three hours of ambiguous signals. The judge gets the full weight of the federal data apparatus. One of them can go to prison for getting it wrong. The other can’t even be named in a civil suit.

If bartenders can go to jail for over-serving alcohol to someone who then kills another person, judges should go to jail for releasing criminals who do the same.

🚨 Georgia House Governmental Affairs CENSORED my Dominion backdoor public testimony—10 seconds SLICED OUT mid-sentence! That's the EXACT part exposing the truth they wanted hidden. Timestamps prove it. Everyone in the room heard it. ON RECORD. So I recovered the full audio, watch and listen to what someone doesn't want to be ON NOTICE of. WHO ORDERED THE CUT??? #ElectionIntegrity #WhoOrderedTheCut Georgians, in fact ALL CITIZENS, make sure EVERYONE sees this post.

@ThrillaRilla369 The workforce doubled and then jobs were moved over seas. Increased labor competition lowered wages and inflation masked it.

There was a time in America when a single income was enough to buy a house, own a car, and pay for your children’s college — all without going into debt. What happened?

Former CIA Director John Brennan drops a massive reality check. He confirms there was absolutely ZERO intelligence of an imminent threat from Iran to justify the bombing campaign. He says the administration is lying fast and furiously to cover it up.

Something deeply messed up with Claude's model right now. It went from a hero to a zero almost overnight. I hope they fix it, as of right now - I've moved over to codex, it's completely unusual. Beware.
