The cases were dismissed without prejudice, meaning they can be refiled at a later date.

Five days after the post, Halligan, who had no prosecutorial experience, presented the Comey case to a grand jury. The presentation came days before a five-year statute of limitations on the charges was set to expire.

How does the statute of limitations work after a case is dismissed? Are they still allowed to refile?

“The president’s been saying this is a hoax,” Massie said, referring to several claims Trump has made in reaction to repeated calls for full disclosure of the files. “He’s been saying that for months. Well, he’s just now decided to investigate a hoax, if it’s a hoax. And I have another concern about these investigations that he’s announced. If they have ongoing investigations in certain areas, those documents can’t be released.

“So, this might be a big smokescreen, these investigations, to open a bunch of them, as a last-ditch effort to prevent the release of the Epstein files,” he added.

The summary didn’t quite get to how it’s a smokescreen: Investigating Epstein’s ties to Dems might seem like just a distraction from Trump’s connections to him, but investigations also create an excuse for DOJ to block the release of files.

Trump sucked Clinton’s dick as sure as JD Vance fucked a couch.

They have two kids, and the article doesn’t mention how the transvestigators are dealing with Erika’s pregnancies. Do they think she faked it twice, or did she not make public appearances while pregnant?

There’s a tiny bit of red in the Middle East. I think it’s Israel.

No no, you don’t understand. It’ll be much easier to fund school stuff after ICE deports all the students Stephen Miller doesn’t think should be in the US. /s

Trump is pardoning so many people it could be argued that the volume makes it unlikely he’s “aware of the substance of the various pardons and commutations”.

Their web page doesn’t really mention self-hosting, but there’s github link way down at the bottom and that has self-hosting instructions.

Roberts made sure to distinguish this case from the previous one:

Chief Justice John Roberts didn’t say much, but tipped his hand when he sought to distinguish Callais from his own decision upholding the VRA just two years ago. Back then, he said, the court “took existing precedent as a given,” since no party asked for its reversal. Now, however, both the court and Louisiana have put “existing precedent” in the crosshairs, giving the majority a golden opportunity to overturn it.

Nevermind that the state only got on board with overturning precedent after the Supreme Court wanted to rehear the case this term with parameters clearly meant to head in that direction, the court and the state are on the same page now so he’s ready to go for it.

DOJ brought the case in a court known as the “rocket docket” and they’re trying to take it slow. An experienced prosecutor would have known better, but apparently they couldn’t find any who thought the case was strong enough to bother with.

SCOTUS will find a reason.

It’s just a one-off transfer, I’m not planning to stop the transfer, and it’s my media library, so nothing should change, but I figured something resumable is a good idea for a transfer that’s going to take 12+ hours, in case there’s an unplanned stop.

I was planning to use rsync to ship several TB of stuff from my old NAS to my new one soon. Since we’re already talking about rsync, I guess I may as well ask if this is right way to go?

The Democrats need to be reminding everyone that budget talks are pointless when Trump can do this shit.

They’ll let Trump get away with almost anything, but they know letting him mess with the Fed will hurt their 401ks, and that is where they draw the line.

First of all, how is a site named “techdirt” always hitting the nail on the head with political commentary?

Techdirt had a back in March titled Why Techdirt Is Now A Democracy Blog (Whether We Like It Or Not) to explain their current direction.

He used to work for Fox News, of course he has a skewed view on the importance of optics.

When was the last time you checked? A client was added to the WebOS store maybe 2 or 3 years ago for recent models, and support for older models (like my C9) came months later.

“We terminated these channels as it’s still against our rules for previously terminated users to start new channels,” according to the company. “The pilot program for terminations that many people have been referencing this week isn’t available yet and will be a limited pilot program to start. We’ll have more on how the program will work, who is eligible, and how creators can access it soon.“

Jones and Fuentes may not be eligible to rejoin under the program even when it does get going.

Jones was taken off YouTube prior to the pandemic in 2018 for violations including hate speech and child endangerment, and Fuentes was banned in 2020 for hate speech.

Basically he heard people who’d been banned where going to be allowed back and went back without looking into the details.

That would matter if a lot more if the broadcasters actually challenged the threats of retaliation instead of caving.
