The cases were dismissed without prejudice, meaning they can be refiled at a later date.

Five days after the post, Halligan, who had no prosecutorial experience, presented the Comey case to a grand jury. The presentation came days before a five-year statute of limitations on the charges was set to expire.

How does the statute of limitations work after a case is dismissed? Are they still allowed to refile?

Epstein's brother said it wasn't Clinton, but he didn't say anything about the horse!

Why the Civil Rights Movement, other than the immediately obvious reason? It brings things full circle with Uhura and her first actor, the late Nichelle Nichols, who initially planned on leaving the original Star Trek after a single season. It was a discussion with Martin Luther King, Jr. that changed her mind; as a fan of the show, he called her “our image of where we’re going. You’re 300 years from now, and that means that’s where we are and it takes place now. Keep doing what you’re doing, you are our inspiration.” And when she told him about her plans to leave, he told her, “You don’t have a black role. You have an equal role.”

TIL MLK convinced Nichelle Nichols to stay on TOS.

“The president’s been saying this is a hoax,” Massie said, referring to several claims Trump has made in reaction to repeated calls for full disclosure of the files. “He’s been saying that for months. Well, he’s just now decided to investigate a hoax, if it’s a hoax. And I have another concern about these investigations that he’s announced. If they have ongoing investigations in certain areas, those documents can’t be released.

“So, this might be a big smokescreen, these investigations, to open a bunch of them, as a last-ditch effort to prevent the release of the Epstein files,” he added.

The summary didn't quite get to how it's a smokescreen: Investigating Epstein's ties to Dems might seem like just a distraction from Trump's connections to him, but investigations also create an excuse for DOJ to block the release of files.

He probably doesn't even know an MRI involves magnets.

Trump sucked Clinton's dick as sure as JD Vance fucked a couch.

They have two kids, and the article doesn't mention how the transvestigators are dealing with Erika's pregnancies. Do they think she faked it twice, or did she not make public appearances while pregnant?

Steam Deck Verified games should be fine, and a lot of non-Verified games were only downgraded to "Playable" because of issues that may not matter on a desktop, like small text (what's small on a Steam Deck screen may not be small on a monitor) or needing to manually trigger the on-screen keyboard (a desktop is usually accompanied by a physical keyboard).

Is ICE going to start targeting fat people for deportation next?

And in case anyone is unfamiliar with Hakeem Jefferies: He's Black, not Mexican. The sombrero didn't make sense in the original post either.

Maybe I'm just picky, but I think Mint replacing the standard Firefox icon should lower its place on the list of distros for people coming from Windows. Out of their preinstalled applications, Firefox is the one a Windows user is probably the most likely to be familiar with, and out-of-the-box they've got it pinned to the taskbar with an icon that a Windows user won't recognize. There's so many other distros where a Windows user can log in and clearly spot Firefox.

There's a tiny bit of red in the Middle East. I think it's Israel.
