My comment was more about the hypocrisy of the term "American values". The people who most loudly espouse "American Values" rarely do more than pay lip service to ideals they think are good in a vacuum, but never actually support in practice when those values are tested even a little bit (democracy, equality, free speech, the right to protest, etc etc).

That may not be a uniquely American trait, either, but it is still annoyingly present enough it warrants complaining about.

I thought I read that Luigi actually claimed the manifest as his own, but searching around does not bear that out.

Best I can tell, neither the police nor the major media outlets released it in full after the arrest or shortly thereafter, but it was found and shared by this guy later: https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/luigis-manifesto

Long story short, I still have no clue about the authenticity. One recent headline says Luigi's legal team doesn't want it admissible as evidence for the trial, for what that's worth.

Lol. I can get behind that.

This technically isn't a filibuster, apparently.

But yes, they could suspend the filibuster rule, potentially. I'm not sure of the specifics. It might require 60 votes?

Should be. But isn't.

Did he not write a manifesto about why he did it? Or am I getting my info crossed?

Yup. Lived with this for way too long. For me it was undiagnosed ADHD.

Is it just me or does that look like it was added in post?

I am old enough that I have zero idea if you're serious or fucking with me.

No worries! The only reason to evaluate (or re-evaluate) a piece of software is if you have a need or desire the software might fulfill. And if you don't have either, it literally doesn't matter, lol.

 

Unsure if this is the kind of jazz y'all like, but here ya go.
