Yet again, the GOP is proving that they believe in the free market. Until they don't.
To protect right wing talk radio, they want to require that a car I purchase have AM radio, whether or not I want it. Just let the market decide - if enough MAGA Republicans want AM, they can only buy cars which have them.

"#WesternValues" is #rightwing code for #ChristianNationalism. Whenever you hear them complain about people not believing in western values, they mean their bastardized version of #Christianity isn't the center of attention. And that makes them sad.

New mass arrest photos show IDF standing by its promise: they no longer require detainees to strip. Which increases the odds one of them will have explosives or guns stripped to their body, which increases the odds one of them will try to use them at this point, which increases the odds Israeli soldiers will respond, which increases the odds they will be blamed for mass shooting of innocents, which was the whole point to avoid, but hopefully that won’t happen and detainee honor is preserved.

Giuliani is liable not just for the harm caused by his own actions, but also for the actions of his co-conspirators, the judge tells jurors. Jurors will be required to assume certain facts in calculating damages.
@GottaLaff Wow... I was going to say simple act of *stealing* Hunter's laptop should be enough to get him in trouble. Nope.
Because it is technically hacking, under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), Rudy and his co-conspirators could potentially be looking at doing upwards of 5 years just for "Accessing a Computer to Defraud and Obtain Value".
And just to be very clear, Giuliani and his team made it VERY public that they illegally obtained Hunter's laptop and INTENDED to hack into it.
