Wednesday! Time for our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: ============================================================= I WANT... A drunk fell into a taxi, gave the driver a $20 bill, and bellowed, "I wanna get screwed." The cabbie dutifully drove him to the suburbs and pointed out a townhouse. The drunk staggered up to the front door, banged on it, and screamed, "I wanna get screwed!" A female voice answered, "Slip $100 under the door." The drunk pushed $100 under the door. Nothing happened. After a while, the drunk banged on the door again and screamed, "I wanna get screwed!" The female voice answered, "What? Again?"

Pro-Hamas Wisconsin Students Heil Hitler During Protests Yes, you read the headline correctly.

Did Judge Merchan Make a Critical Error That Can Save Trump? Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's case against Donald Trump had already hit a few snags, but now, Judge Merchan may have made a critical error that could reverse the Trump verdict upon appeal by allowing prosecutors to make certain arguments, according to GWU University law professor Jonathan Turley. During an appearance on "Fox & Friends," Turley suggested that New York Judge Juan Merchan made a mistake by allowing Bragg's prosecutorial team, which is being led by former Biden administration official Michael Colangelo, to say unequivocally that Trump was involved in federal election law violations. "I got to tell you, I think this judge may have already committed reversible error," Turley told Fox News. "He could try to amend it, he could try to change it in his instructions, but that jury has now been told repeatedly that there are federal election crimes here, strongly suggesting that the payment to Stormy Daniels did violate federal election laws. That's just not true." [...] https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2024/04/30/did-judge-merchan-make-a-critical-error-that-can-save-trump-n4928659

~~~~~~~~~~~ DHS Data Reveals Hundreds of Thousands of Migrants Have Been Flown in on Biden's 'Parole Flights' Last month, a report said that President Joe Biden had flown 325,000 migrants into the country on secret flights. The Associated Press did a quick fact check and determined that the claim was false — the flights weren't "secret," just "lacking in transparency." Migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela used the government's CBP One cellphone scheduling app to book their flights, and flying them in directly on these "parole" flights did us all a favor by cutting down the long lines at the southern border.
