Yeah, I should not have let that headline through. This, BLASTED and BREAKING are some of my least favorite cliches of contemporary reporting.

Even when they’re getting hammered, they keep lying their fat asses off!
Do also call these affiliates directly. Phones ringing off the hook have an intense effect on people who’s livelihoods are in those noisy rooms. Can confirm. Was news intern in college.
Frivolous lawsuits (and executive orders) will do that to ya.
Also, there’s this, which I forgot about:
Trump was represented by his trusty sidekick Alina Habba, the lawyer who filed the RICO suit that got him sanctioned in Florida.

It was on the tip of his tongue all along.
Just not backed up by any numbers or data.
Appreciate the gesture and agree with dragging this POS
It’s not blocked by a paywall on my end. I’ve looked at this on my desktop browser and on my phone. There is a popup thingie but you can close it and still scroll through.
Me either. It’s annoying, like an earworm for eyes that need bleaching. I never watched Spin City but assumed he was cast as a bumbling type, probably because he just has that air about him.

Do you mean when I submit? Currently, I don’t see a way to remove the image. I submitted as an image via piefed. Might be a bit of difference between there and lemmy.world as far as that goes. Probably should just submit to lemmy.world from my account there in the future. The link is included but I didn’t notice your rule about single links till after I hit submit. Thanks.
Yep, one downside of having such an easily identifiable, strange and pointy idiosyncratic signature. Still waiting for a prison handwriting analyst to weigh in here.
Is there anything he’s good at? A frustrated artist. Just like Hitler.*
*except for the part where Hitler was actually a failed architectural illustrator who applied himself.
The Architecture of Doom
1989 documentary by Swedish director Peter Cohen and narrated by Rolf Arsenius. German- and English-language versions have also been released.
The film explores the obsession Adolf Hitler had with his own particular vision of what was and was not aesthetically acceptable and how he applied these notions while running Nazi Germany. His obsession with art he considered pure, in opposition to the supposedly degenerate avant-garde works by Jewish and Soviet artists, reveals itself to be deeply connected to Hitler’s equally subjective and strict ideal of physical beauty and health. A series of so-called degenerate art exhibitions were sponsored in order to depict modernist painting and sculpture as expressions of mental illness and general depravity. Classical art that reinforced Hitler’s personal taste, from Roman statuary to Dutch oil paintings, was scavenged from across Nazi occupied Europe.
Hitler is shown as an amateur architect, planning new building designs for Nazi Germany that express his vision of a Nordic empire to rival those of classical antiquity. He is said to be intimately familiar with the grand opera houses of Europe. He visits Paris with a group of architects and artists who will be tasked with rebuilding Berlin to suit the Nazi aesthetic. Designs for new structures include depictions of the ruins they will make for distant generations.
The film posits that Hitler’s affinity for Greek and Roman antiquity is also expressed in his insistence of a totalizing strategy of war. In what Hitler imagined to be the style of Sparta and Rome, war was meant to annihilate the enemy, enslaving the population and erasing the history of the vanquished.

This has been quoted extensively in recent stories but the actual physical illustration has not been released previously. Donold denied its existence, of course.
