Rudy denies alcoholism, announces Biden lawsuit at strange press conference
Former New York City Mayor and Trump's former attorney, Rudy Giuliani, has filed a defamation lawsuit against President Joe Biden, alleging that Biden called him a "Russian pawn" during a presidential debate three years ago. Giuliani's announcement of the lawsuit was made during a rambling press conference in New Hampshire. His decision has been met with widespread skepticism from legal experts who question its merits, given the high threshold for proving defamation, especially for public figures in a political context. Rudy’s press conference veered off-topic, with Giuliani making unfounded accusations against Biden, denying allegations of alcoholism, and discussing unrelated matters, further damaging his already diminished reputation. Legal experts anticipate that Giuliani is unlikely to win significant damages in this lawsuit, which seems to be a desperate attempt to salvage his career and credibility.
LOL: Trump's properties will probably be auctioned off
A legal expert's assessment has gained attention, suggesting that after the ongoing fraud trial against former President Donald Trump, his properties may face auction due to allegations of civil fraud and property valuation manipulation. According to Newsweek, Tristan Snell, a former assistant attorney general of New York, believes that Trump's properties might be liquidated and sold at auction following a court ruling that found Trump's companies inflated property values and ordered the revocation of their corporate licenses. It's important to note that this prediction is speculative, and the final outcome remains uncertain. Nevertheless, this development adds to Trump's mounting legal troubles that could result in losing his businesses and his freedom.
From yesterday’s show:
Absolute lunatic Jim Jordan is running for Speaker of the House
The race for the Speaker of the House position, vacated after Kevin McCarthy's removal with the help of eight Republicans, has attracted a range of controversial candidates. Jim Jordan, an ardent defender of Trump and MAGA, has entered the race despite allegations that he turned a blind eye to sexual misconduct during his time as an assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State University. The alleged abuse involved Dr. Richard Strauss, the wrestling team's doctor, who was accused of sexually abusing nearly 200 male students. Jordan denies any knowledge of the abuse, a claim met with skepticism given the pervasive nature of the allegations. Steve Scalise, another Republican, is also vying for the position, though he is considered marginally less extreme than Jordan. On the Democratic side, Hakeem Jeffries is the presumptive nominee, although it's unlikely he will become Speaker as Democrats don’t have the majority. The race for Speaker of the House is shaping up to be a contentious and polarized contest with multiple candidates now vying for the position.
From yesterday’s show:
Trump BANNED from being Speaker of the House
The prospect of Donald Trump becoming Speaker of the House has been floated by several Republicans, including Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Sean Hannity. However, a significant obstacle lies in their own party's rulebook, specifically Rule 26 of the Republican Conference. This rule dictates that a member of the Republican leadership must step aside if indicted for a felony with a potential prison sentence of two or more years. Trump has already faced four indictments in six months, including two federal cases and two state cases, totaling 91 felony counts, many carrying sentences exceeding two years. Although this rule was approved by all Republicans, some argue that they could find a way to circumvent it if they were genuinely interested in Trump as Speaker, possibly by claiming that the rule doesn't apply to his unique situation. However, Trump's aversion to hard work as Speaker could pose another obstacle to this scenario, raising questions about whether Republicans are seriously considering him for the role or merely using it as rhetoric to appease their base and provoke opponents.

The world is flooded with lies at the moment. This would not have happened if babies did not grow up; that is, if we all remained babies. Nobody lies to babies. Babies can’t lie; they can’t tell the truth either; they can do neither because they are still learning how to speak. Grownups lie but not to babies. If there were no grownups, there would not have been any liars. And all would be well …
Of course, this will never happen. All babies grow up; there will always be lies and liars. We can only hope there will be less of both.
Why is it possible to lie? Why are there lies in the first place? Babies cannot lie because they can’t speak. To lie, we need language. Is language invented so that we can tell lies? That would be odd; isn’t it?
Is language invented so that we can tell the truth? But if it is, why don’t we all tell the truth always?
Language is invented to tell the truth. We see this in the development of scientific languages. In science, the language evolves as the subject evolves. Working scientists tell the truth as matter of course. (If you were solving a cipher, you would not all of a sudden start telling yourself lies either.) They know that truths lead to more truths. So yes, we should always tell the truth unless there are special reasons not to.
But, some will ask, why is it possible to lie in the place? It’s all very well that we have a tool that enables us to tell the truth; but why should the same tool also enables us to lie? A pair of scissors is single purposed. It is used to cut. You can not use it to join. Why can’t language be single purposed too? Only to tell the truth and not to lie.
The answer to this question should be easy to arrive at once we understand that learning a language is cryptanalysis, and trial and error is unavoidable in this very process. Before you can arrive at the truth, unavoidably you will have to dismiss many, many errors.
