Sullivan’s lawyer defended his client and said it was the victim’s late father who was responsible.

“He was not locked in the room. She did not restrain him in any way. She provided food. She provided shelter. She is blown away by these allegations,” her lawyer, Ioannis Kaloidis, told New Haven ABC affiliate WTNH.

Kaloidis said the stepson’s late biological father “dictated how the boy would be raised.”

“We think as the evidence comes out, you will see she’s not the villain she’s being made out to be,” Kaloidis added.

Except the father died 9 months ago and was wheelchair bound in this two story house and this man was still being trapped inside. She also at no point in the past 20 years thought of reporting this to the authorities. What is this lawyer thinking making such ridiculous statements?

I wonder if/when they’ll realize that their comments are nearly indistinguishable from a Trump sycophants?

If voting yes helps one Democrat keep their seat? Sure, why not?

This mentality from the DNC is precisely why Republicans currently control every branch of government. Nobody likes diet Republicanism and nobody will remember this specific vote in 2026.

As is breaking into the Capitol to try and overthrow the government while getting half a dozen people killed.

It may not be directly related to people buying as in someone buying a Tesla won’t ratchet up the share price that day, but sales absolutely do affect a company’s value once the quarterly reports come out. What people speculate it’s worth doesn’t really matter if they’re not making any money currently and not expected to in the foreseeable future.

I don’t think Trumps endorsement is really worth anything to Tesla unless he plans on sinking a ton of taxpayer dollars into them. The price is now up $11 but can just as easily drop back down as the only people being swayed by the president’s statements are his sycophants.

Except his cult is made up of trailer park dwellers that elected him because they couldn’t afford the $100 it takes to fill up their 2004 RAM 3500. Those people aren’t buying Teslas which is why their stock is down 50% since the beginning of the year.

And that removes any remaining reason to use Southwest. Why would you want to book a flight that costs the same as everyone else where you get relegated to a middle seat between two strangers because they don’t allow you to pick where you sit?

If you’re using QBittorrent, you can throttle upload/download speeds in the settings. I believe it wants speeds set in kibibytes (KiB) so you’ll need to convert your megabit internet speeds to your desired kibibyte limit (say maybe 50% or less of your available bandwidth).

That was a test…

and you passed with flying colors.

Stainless exhaust gets this bluing effect from the heat. I think it looks gorgeous.

Wright, a former fracking executive who was picked by Trump to the crucial cabinet position, also attacked the Joe Biden administration for focusing “myopically on climate change”.

Well that’s funny considering US drilling and oil production ramped up to an all-time high under Biden.

I think they’re on a downturn in the US with interest rates being so high and rebates evaporating away, but globally they’re doing well with all the shenanigans going on in China as well as Europe being more forward thinking.

Not that I disagree with any of this but what’s up with that B/S graph from the NYT? The Y axis starts at 30 million and ends at 33 million. It makes it appear as if 3x the number of people are on disability now even though it looks like it only went from around 30M to 33M.

Unless you’re retiring soon this won’t really be an issue as the eventual rebound will cancel out the losses and any contributions you make in a down market are worth more than in a booming market. For those retiring soon, your money shouldn’t be in stocks as they’re too volatile.

And for anyone who things this is a permanent collapse, if that’s the case then your retirement is worthless regardless of where you have it stored.

Nah they’ll just blame the “deep state” government for not stopping it while still defending Trump just like they did during COVID.

Yeah it’s how so many wealthy people are able to double their fortunes during recessions like in 2007/2008. They’re buying everything at a discount.

I don’t think they really care whether they’re dealing with a man or woman. They happily cut Bernie out of coverage as well in the primaries to favor Clinton.

I can’t imagine how the pronunciation could be any worster.

You can’t unless you can alter the brainwashing information flow feeding directly into their minds.
