I found this an interesting summary, given the whataboutism coming from The Right following Trump's indictments.

The story you shared is a good read and does a great job explaining the difference between being (arguably) negligent handling classified information (Clinton, Biden) and one -intentionally- concealing one's possession of classified information, lying to authorities, etc.

Of course, the people who most need to hear this are also the least likely to listen.

Yeah, it’s a case of “you really shouldn’t handle classified information that way” “Whoops, is this better?” vs. “You really shouldn’t handle classified information that way” “I didn’t! And even if I did (hides box behind back), it would be perfectly OK for me to do! This is all someone else’s fault!”

I've been to places that had free municipal wifi, mostly at libraries and bus stops. It seems like a small service that is generally helpful to people without access to their own wifi. I think the better solution is to have more places with free wifi at night so people don't have to congregate in the one small area.

There aren't many places the unhoused are allowed to exist in public and cutting them off from essential services only makes it harder for them to better their situation.

Super weird. Not sure how that happened. I've heard there was a bug in Lemmy adds the comment to the wrong post, but first time it's happened to me. 🙃

Own it. Way back when on Reddit there was a guy who basically made a meme out of doing this.

Sometimes, when I click on a post, a different opens, Maybe that happened.

I'm not sure, since I had the post open and read through the article/comments before writing mine. But maybe it's the same bug that impacts both commenting and opening the selected post.

There's a difference in severity, but really I'd like them all to go to prison. I do love the irony that Trump's anger over Clinton not being charged led him to sign a law that made what he did a felony. Like he put the rake down walked a couple feet back and then proceeded to step directly on the rake.
