In other news, White House has announced that Bill Belichick will be receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom. If he accepts it, I'm going to have to be a Rams fan going forward. Which frankly sucks.
No. We should all know what right and wrong is. And to tack a hypothetical on to your hypothetical, is there anything stopping a president from hiring/ordering someone to kill somebody for them... and then pardoning them?
Maybe. If a President commits a crime they can't use a pardon to make it go away. But like the "self pardon" it hasn't been tested in court. Just like the whole "Devos family bought a bunch of pardons for their war criminals" scenario hasn't been tested in court. But many Presidential powers haven't been tested in court.
Bill Belichick insurrection endorser has a better ring then Bill Belichick professional football cheat and sometimes coach. But seriously I think we're going to find out what kind of asshole accepts a presidential medal of freedom after this fucking week.
when a black officer diverted the mob away from the Senate floor The color of his skin is worth mentioning, because in this case he basically used himself as bait. What does that say about racism?
This is a great update on the people who have been charged/arrested so far. https://twitter.com/nickturse/status/1348454850342825986?s=20 https://apnews.com/article/election...ic-elections-1806ea8dc15a2c04f2a68acd6b55cace I'm not really seeing any posts about the looting that was happening during this coup attempt. But I thought for sure that would be a heavy topic of discussion since it was talked about a ton for the entire summer.
Net is this possible? Because if it's true is hilarious. https://twitter.com/BirdRespecter/status/1348557067351519234?s=19
I was going to send this too. I had a hearty laugh at this morning. It would definitely explain the rapid no fly list info as well as airport arrests. If you have all their personal info, you can check their flight info.
To be a bit more clear... a big part of the exploit was the fact that Twilio disabled their services for Parler. This meant that any request to reset passwords was no longer being email-verified... so if you said "hey, I'm admin@parler, reset my password", well, it would take you straight to the "what do you want your new password to be?" page, bypassing the "we'll send you an email with a link to verify that you are allowed to reset your password". The major fuckup was, IMO, Twillio's press release where they gave some pretty low level detail about what services/plug-ins were being used, which educated the hackers on what attack vector to use. So they created/hacked an admin account, and then spun up a Docker image that anyone could download and run, which would automatically connect into Parler, create a new admin account, and start downloading all sorts of info... including State/National ID's used to verify the user on the system, pictures, and more. The big thing is that NOTHING was ever deleted off of that site... when someone went in and said "delete my account and posts", well, it didn't... it just said "mark these users/posts as hidden, and don't show them". They were all still 100% viewable by all of these new admin accounts. I have zero doubt that various law enforcement agencies have a shit-ton of private data to go through now... and can only imagine what was being said behind "virtually closed doors".
A more detailed description from Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ParlerWatc..._user_data_is_being_downloaded_as_we/giu04o6/ Here is a description of what went down according to someone with far greater technical knowledge than me: "so a group of developers latched onto the Press Release that Twilio put out at midnight last night. In that Press Release, Twilio accidentally revealed which services Parler was using. Turns out it was all of the security authentications that were used to register a user. This allowed anyone to create a user, and not have to verify an email address, and immediately have a logged-on account. Well, because of that access, it gave them access to the behind the login box API that is used to deliver content -- ALL CONTENT (parleys, video, images, user profiles, user information, etc) --. But what it also did was revealed which USERS had "Administration" rights, "Moderation" rights. Well, then what happened, those user accounts that had Administration rights to the entire platform... The hackers, internet warriors, call it what you will, was able to use the forgot password link to change the password. Why? Because Twilio was no longer authenticating emails. This meant, they'd get directly to the reset password screen of that Administration user. This group of Internet Warriors then used that account, to create a handful of other ADMINISTRATION accounts, and then created a script that ended up creating MILLIONS of fake administration accounts. Now that they had a way of creating admin accounts without interruption, they created a Docker Image (basically a virtual machine) called a Warrior, that anyone could download, and when fired up, would immediately start collecting data off of Parlre, in a coordinated fashion. Consider it like SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) that people used to load up as screen savers when their computers were not being used. Same concept, crowdsourcing. All of this data, the videos, the images, the posts, the metadata (including the GEO location of all images and videos, and the connections to the accounts that posted it, has been (since midnight) being uploaded to various cloud drives and storage arrays for the purposes of Archiving this information, for later retrieval by law enforcement, by the public, by Open Source Intelligence communities. And the kicker.. is this: all of this information was thought to be secure and private by individuals who were making the posts. A significant number of those individuals went through the process of being a "Verified Citizen" on Parler. What does that mean? It means they uploaded a picture of the front and back of their REAL State Driver's License........ Let that sink in for a second. I am positive the FBI has been actively soaking in this information along with the Internet Warriors, but this is how they are going to officially track down. And it's how the FBI, DHS, and FAA have been able to immediately and exhaustively create no-fly lists. Every verified attendee of the Capitol riot where they can find a real name has been placed on No-Fly Lists. It might seem like a small geeky glitch or hack.. but in the age of Information warfare... this is the silver bullet for the people who used Parler as a place to organize their efforts. Also, a lot of posts were deleted by Parler members after the riots on the 6th. Turned out... Parler didn't actually delete anything.. just set a bit as deleted. Guess what has access to all "deleted" content? Administrator accounts."
For those of you afraid to click on the link... there are "Warriors" (those Docker images) that are downloading TB's of data so far:
Donald Trump has confirmed it: http://www.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump Spoiler: SPOILER HA! That will never get old.
Twitter nuked over 80% of all Qanon accounts. Then dumbfucks with peanut dicks tell us how it is affecting them. Spoiler
Kevin Sorbo is one of those really, REALLY special morons that should not have any public voice. The BEST part of his tweets are Lucy Lawless being RUTHLESS with her shit talking him back. (And for those of you not familiar... she was Xena, he was Hercules, so they worked together for years)
