UPDATE: I found the source of the video, and no, it's not a thousand grave sites. It was a protest in response to the murder of a farm couple. Glen and Vida Rafferty, in 2020. Really a horrible case but nothing I can find indicates the Rafferties were targeted because they were white. Rather, some idiot lowlifes wanted to rob their safe, broke into their house, couldn't open the safe, and murdered the couple when they returned home. Horrible crime, but in no conceivable sense "white genocide." Video and links added to story.
They are replaying the Mau Mau uprising. There were also such attacks in Rhodesia. It’s transference. Take things that happen at some other time and place and claim it’s happening again.
After some very cursory research you will find that Black farmers are targeted more often than White farmers. The general level of violence in South Africa is pretty atrocious. For the most part it is associated with thievery and not racially motivated.
Nope, the killers were Black, but they were out for money, which they didn't get. 3 were convicted, sentenced to life in prison, a fourth was murdered before trial
The Guardian seems to have the most accurate coverage of this shitshow, and did report that the video was of a protest and not, and That Fucking Guy seems to believe, of actual mass graves.
WaPo had one line about that aspect. I can’t wait until my subscription is up. Marty Baron must be appalled by what happened to the paper.
What people still don't understand, once Drumpf says something, he will insist on acting as if it is true no matter how many times he is told he is wrong. That not only makes his behavior indistinguishable from literal delusion, it makes it functionally the same.
Sadly, yes. I am not naive enough to imagine that there will be truth about this shouted from the roof tops and successfully rubbed in that Orange Ghoul and his Herr Miller's faces for days on end. We won't hear diddly squat in any meaningful SUSTAINED manner. Not to mention, I'm doubting that any notion of the impropriety of treating a world leader this way will come up with the 'national 'news' orgs.'
If he cares so much about those white people, than why doesn't he care more about his own white constituents, because he's been stabbing them in the back nonstop with his industrial backstabbing machine.
Marco Rubio - The anti Immigrant anti-democracy IMMIGRANT. The son of immigrants who now spearheads the destruction of the very reason his parents came to this country -for a better life. DEPORT HIM TO CUBA! He has done more damage to this nation's reputation than any so-called "unworthy" visa holder he equates with terrorism. HE IS THE TERRORIST for working to undo the very reason people come to this country, to escape the very conditions he is working to create -a terrorist, nativist, autocracy based on fear and intimidation. Perhaps he will find Communist Cuba more to his liking, economy and politics. DEPORT HIM!
Says the guy who ran on retribution against Those People, tosses legal immigrants to Sudan, has threatened political opponents for the crime of going against him, and is trying to remove transgender people from the country.

Target [stock] stumbles as tariffs hit earnings and sales fall amid DEI backlash [gift https://wapo.st/3ZsbUHr]

Well, last night I got cussed out by a participant on my volunteer route. He's a regular, and I've always been able to tell that he's unstable, but something happened that he wasn't notified earlier in the day that he was on the list, and he never came out when I got there. I offered to put him on my list for Friday (since he's a regular), and he told me, essentially, to fuck off and get bent. I did not respond because I don't respond to being cussed at, but Friday, as I prepare my list, I'll check with him again to see if he wants me to add him. Maybe he'll have cooled off.
This is my least favorite time of year because the sun rises so early. Not even 6AM and already the sky is starting to lighten up.
Ford accuses law firms of fraudulent overbilling, including a 57-1/2 hour workday
"In a complaint filed in Los Angeles federal court against nine defendants, Ford called the alleged improper billings a "magical mystery tour" of bogus work and time entries, spread across thousands of cases against several automakers so they would go undetected.
The complaint identified "numerous" alleged instances of lawyers billing more than 24 hours in a single day.
Ford said the 57-1/2 hours that Knight partner Amy Morse allegedly billed on November 30, 2016 included 12.9 hours on "requests for admission, opens new tab," where parties ask opponents to admit that facts are true or documents are authentic.
The automaker said another lawyer allegedly billed 29 hours to prepare for, travel to and attend two trials on the same day in Los Angeles and near San Francisco, about 400 miles apart."
I knew an insurance defense lawyer who remained his firm’s top biller while on vacation thanks to “received and reviewed” billings by his staff on discovery.

Good work. Now where did I leave those car keys?
You misspelled 'Brain Frog.'
You mean Trump cherry-picked an instance of black-on-white violence to make a racist point? I'm SHOCKED!
So, a similar crime to the Cutter murder in Kansas that formed the basis for In Cold Blood.
Cutter ... Qatar ... Is this about the jet again??? How dare you???
Thank you for trawling the fever swamps to the source, Dok. I appreciate the effort.

After some very cursory research you will find that Black farmers are targeted more often than White farmers. The general level of violence in South Africa is pretty atrocious. For the most part it is associated with thievery and not racially motivated.
The level of income inequality and high unemployment in South Africa are more likely causes than any alleged reverse racism.
100:1 odds the perps where white, too.
Nope, the killers were Black, but they were out for money, which they didn't get. 3 were convicted, sentenced to life in prison, a fourth was murdered before trial
Those odds are pretty long. I’m gonna go with even money, 1:1 odds.
Are there MSM outlets on this garbage? I honestly am too tired to look.
NYT did a pretty thorough debunking of Trump's video lies

Oh, I understand that.
I don't like it, but I understand it. Same types who think Elron Hubbard did no wrong.
I really need to send The Guardian some money.
I send them money every month and it makes me feel better. If it weren’t for foreign journalists, we’d be flying blind.
Mean, nasty outlets? Outlets that only say bad things about your favorite president (TRUMP!). Outlets that hate America?
Sign me up! Er, I mean, I'll sign up.
Probably bears way too much resemblance to "journalism" for them.
of course.
Excellent sleuthing.
So, “In Cold Blood?” Seems to me that’s happened here too.
Should have scrolled down.
In fairness I was like the third person to think I was the clever one.
Holy Fuckballs Level of Madness here…
But there's a new book about Joe Biden's dementia.
It is exactly the plot of In Cold Blood.
That's their MO - find one grain of fact and blow it up into a work of fiction that they will defend beyond all reason to support their shit.

Not this?

Not as far as I can tell. Monument went up in 2004, the road protest was 2020
Thanks for journamalisiming, Dok!
extra ration of grog this week!
If he cares so much about those white people, than why doesn't he care more about his own white constituents, because he's been stabbing them in the back nonstop with his industrial backstabbing machine.
Is it fear talking ?!
Calgon take me away!! far far away!
I hadn't realized before reading this just how awful that "ambush" in the White House had been.
No soup for you!
If Trump keeps this up no foreign dignitaries are ever going to visit him in his Frat House on the Potomac.

House now voting on HR1, the Big Bullshit Bill.
215 Yea / 214 Nay /1 pres /1 NV
So Repubs voted agin? I thought they had 218?
only ones voting Nay had Ds nest to their names
I saw 2 R Nays on live.house.gov? Did they switch?
You are right. 2 R Nays
The b̶r̶i̶b̶e̶ ̶m̶o̶n̶e̶y̶ campaign donations must have been huge.
And the treasoneers have it
Surprised it was that close.
Whomever the present and NV was better not be a fucking democrat (unless they are in hospital of course)
or dead, like Connolly
2 Nays and 1 present from the treasoneers. Democrats were united.
Connolly didn't vote. Because he died the other day.
That's 3 Dems we've lost to dying this term.
Even then.
It'll pass.
But it would be hilarious if, after all their super secret midnight meetings and what not, all their caving in to the very worst, he didn't have the votes

(Lawyer to Saint Peter upon arrival)
“But how could I possibly have had a heart attack? I’m only 32!”
“According to your billable hours, you’re 94.”
I knew an insurance defense lawyer who remained his firm’s top biller while on vacation thanks to “received and reviewed” billings by his staff on discovery.
allegedly billed 29 hours to prepare for, travel to and attend two trials on the same day
I mean, I can see that. Preparing for trial takes time, no?
Just the lawyer cloning alone can take hours.
Hard to fit 29 hours into 24 or be two places 400 miles apart.
only takes 5 hours or so to drive 400 miles
Though I did not realize it was for the same 24 hour period. Thought it was like, over a few days there
Oh no, major corporation gets fucked over.
