Picking at nits:

CO is Carbon Monoxide, because there is only one Oxygen atom in the molecule. Mono = one
CO2 is Carbon Dioxide, because there are two Oxygen atoms in the molecule. Di = two

And more than that, Foxconn taught any business executive paying attention how to use some cheap press releases and real estate purchasing to score some tax breaks while not actually doing anything, all the while getting problematic politicians to fuck off and bother someone else.

It's cute that you think this won't be another Wisconsin Foxconn 2-step.

They'll make a big announcement with big numbers with a lot of zeroes after them. And then they'll probably buy some property they were looking to acquire anyway. And they'll drag their feet until Trump is out of office, and then all of this will stop without even $100m being spent in total.

$100m amortized over 3 years is a small price to pay to have the President fuck off and leave you alone for 3 years when you are a $3T enterprise.

Are they, though?

We haven't seen any accountability other than people not taking the offered bait to change the topic of conversation. And we won't see any accountability until the House is back in session, and the Government Oversight committee starts looking through all the shit they subpoena'd yesterday.

That is, if the DoJ actually responds to the subpoena. Who's going to prosecute them if they don't?

Pick one or more:
- ongoing criminal justice procedures (appeals) and preserving a jury pool in case an appeals court kicks it back to a trial court for retrial
- existing doctrine that criminal investigation files are not publicly released as a matter of course
- (then) independence of the Department of Justice, and not wanting to voluntarily toss a hand grenade into the political arena for no legal reason, just politics
- Biden worrying about other things that are far more productive for a President to be worrying about than fringe conspiracy bullshit, allowing for his DoJ to take care of matters of criminal justice

Right about now, the Democratic Party doesn't give a damn who is implicated - they likely would enjoy the opportunity to purge any child rapists from their ranks. Funny how they are unanimously voting to release it all while the GOP majority runs and hides isn't it? Oh, but both sides, amirite?!

You may as well have just posted "I have no counter-argument to anything he just said" because that's what I read with your idiot one-liner whataboutist bothsides-ist bullshit.

Not that it matters to people just trying to bothsides everything, but during the Biden administration, the criminal appeals process was (and is) still going for Mrs. Maxwell. Also, the DoJ was still a mostly-independent-of-politics operation still. Now it absolutely is not.

DoJ policy is not to reveal any non-public evidence until all appeals are exhausted and the case's final disposition is known, because you don't know if an appeals court is going to kick it back to a trial court for more hearings or a retrial, and you need to be able to pick a jury.

I know, how convenient of an excuse, right? Too bad it's the real reason, because the then-independent DoJ doesn't want to let a proven child rapist go just to try to politically stick it to another potential child rapist.

Cool.

Now speak to the multiple state-level plots to swap in fake electors to steal the electoral votes, which were being coordinated by administraton officials like Mark Meadows and Jeffrey Clark - who are still in legal hot water btw.

Feel free to speak to the phone call to the Georgia governor imploring him to "find" 11,780 more votes - the exact number needed to win Georgia.

None of that had anything to do with the shitbags that vandalized the Capitol, and is widely documented in public record after bipartisan investigation.;

But yeah, keep fixating on the J6 violence and hand-wave everything else away. That doesn't make you look like an idiot at all.

I'm still amazed that, even to this day, you and so many others are denying the reality that is staring you in the face.

How many findings of facts in courts of law do you need to see?
How much testimony from Republicans in front of the J6 committee do you need to see?

The people on the ground on January 6 were only one part of the scheme. Open your eyes - there are still legal proceedings against the co-conspirators for state charges, and legal disbarments happening against the co-conspirators for their involvement.

That doesn't happen unless there's something there. Open your fucking eyes.

Epstein won't take Trump down, no matter how much you or I would like it to.

Why? Because nothing materially new has come to light. Everything we know today was basically already known when a sufficient number of people voted for a senile rapist to be President. We already saw the video of those two shitbags leering at young women and whispering to each other. We already saw the photos of them at multiple social occasions. We already read the quotes about how they were such good buddies back in the day. We already read the sworn testimony from victims.

The Epstein files are nothing but a salve for the egos of the idiots who decided that a ridiculous person in badly applied orange makeup was a good choice as head of state - it's something they can try to latch onto in order to justify changing their opinion after being a part of enabling the absolute worst person to be President, to once again be President without inflicting narcissistic injury on themselves for being wrong. We will hear people bleat about "if they'd only known" when they had every opportunity to know before voting, because around 50 million people DID know and voted accordingly. And in 10 years, you won't be able to find a single person who voted for this guy because they will all be ashamed of what they helped to bring about.

But you and I both know that given the choice again, these people will still vote the exact same way, for the exact same reasons. They voted for a senile rapist, because they are drowning in a sea of propaganda that made that senile rapist's opponent appear to be even worse, somehow, with absolutely no proof.

Anyone who is that gullible isn't changing up, especially if the propaganda firehose isn't changing it's direction or volume.

Don't get me wrong, I get the point of these apps, but you have to assume anymore that these apps are going to share any data they think they can monetize. And in this case, that data is of great value to the authorities in jurisdictions that have asserted a compelling interest in regulating pregnancy.

I don't know who thought this was a good idea, but it doesn't take a special insight or million dollar focus group to understand that your average viewer/voter finds this kind of spectacle deceptive, exploitative and a very pointed example of why the public is distrustful of news media.

I don't want to make an unfair assumption here, but are you comparing the people whose children were murdered in their school to someone who "made his own choice" to die of COVID? What conversation do you think ought to come of that?

You've got to be out of your mind to use apps like this and give anyone this kind of information. In the wrong hands, it can get you arrested or killed.

Flo was named in the suit. They settled. It's right in the summary.
