So since the lawsuit was filed on July 3, that means the server would have been wiped on July 4, two days before legal notice of the lawsuit was served on even one of the defendants [gofile.io] on July 6, and six days before the earliest date the plaintiff even claims the defendant that had possession of the server [documentcloud.org] got notice.
A certified letter from the plaintiff's attorneys was sent to the Secretary of State demanding that the evidence be preserved almost two weeks before the lawsuit was filed.
Not an email, but an actual legal demand letter, on paper. The suit was filed because there was an expectation that the Georgia officials would destroy evidence. They did.
First: The FBI made and has retained a full copy of the drive previous to the lawsuit. The FBI has stated it is available to the participants in the lawsuit.
The Atlanta FBI, which made an image of the server when it temporarily took custody in March, would not say whether it retained that copy – or whether it has done a forensic examination to determine whether the server was accessed by hackers and had files altered.
Second: The computer was at Kennesaw State University when it was degaussed by a low level technician.
Kennesaw State University administers Georgia's elections. And it was not a "low-level technician" who wiped the server, it was a senior university engineer.
The server was wiped the day after a lawsuit was filed to preserve the server as evidence. All of the backups were also wiped.
If it was ordered by a Republican, it would be the first thing mentioned.
Why would it have to be mentioned? The Georgia Secretary of State is responsible for elections there, top-to-bottom (he's a Republican). The Governor of Georgia is a Republican. The state legislature is controlled by Republicans. The Attorney General of Georgia is a Republican. Republicans control every single state-wide lever of power.
The server was wiped after voting rights activists filed a lawsuit against the Republican Secretary of State. The reason for the lawsuit? To force the Republican Secretary of State to have the server independently analyzed.
So, please explain why and how "Dems are burning the evidence" in this case? And how did they manage to get a server, and all of its backups simultaneously wiped when they were under Republican control.
Since currencies are not longer pegged to some commodity, wealth is no longer a zero sum game.
Which is exactly the argument of the Far Left. Since currencies are no longer pegged to any commodity, why not just drop piles of cash on people in the lower economic strata?
You will say, "but that will cause inflation". But if currencies aren't tied to "some commodity", why does inflation matter? And we come back to the simple fact that fiat currency, like most financial mechanisms, are ultimately designed to help only people at the top.
The whole reason for loosening these rules, and the rules on local ownership, is to pave the way for the far-right Sinclair Broadcast Group to buy even more TV stations across the country. Instead of local news, you will only get stories that reflect the Sinclair agenda.

Yep, I admire my grandfather. He lived to a ripe old age and died peacefully in his sleep.
The passengers in his car as it went over the cliff are another matter.
Live fast, die old is my motto. Anyway, nobody's wanted to be a passenger in my car since about 1987. Blasting Suicidal Tendencies on the car stereo made sure of that.
Did U Know? That the "20% of US uranium deposits" never left the United States? Did you also know that it was never intended to leave the United States?
"NRC’s review of the transfer of control request determined that the U.S. subsidiaries will remain the licensees, will remain qualified to conduct the uranium recovery operations, and will continue to have the equipment, facilities, and procedures necessary to protect public health and safety and to minimize danger to life or property. The review also determined that the licensees will maintain adequate financial surety for eventual decommissioning of the sites. Neither Uranium One nor ARMZ holds an NRC export license, so no uranium produced at either facility may be exported."
it has been solidly above $1,000 for over 7 months now.

Listen up, you younger Slashdotters: Don't start smoking. It's a filthy, smelly habit and nobody wants to be around a smoker. Now nicotine is a pretty decent recreational drug, and if you're going to use it, vaping is how you want to go, but stay off it until you're fully grown. I don't know if it's true or not, but people used to say that if you smoked when you were young, it would stunt your growth, so just don't take a chance. And that applies to all recreational drugs. Wait until you're fully grown, then do as thou wilt.
Also, stay in school and always wear a rubber. And be nice to each other.
You're deliberately only including state and local sworn officers. Complaints about police/agency conduct INCLUDE complaints about non-sworn law enforcement staff
Absolutely not. Let's go back to the report from 2010:
"From January 2010 through December 2010 the National Police Misconduct Statistics and Reporting Project recorded 4,861 unique reports of police misconduct that involved 6,613 sworn law enforcement officers and 6,826 alleged victims."
So we're only talking about complaints against sworn law enforcement officers.
The DoD has it's own police, each branch of the military has police (with civilian arrest authority!), each has their own investigative agencies... to say nothing of the police that work for everything from the TSA to ICE to the State Department to the officers of the Secret Service (and other Treasury-related activities, like the IRS - also with arrest powers). Hundreds of thousands more people that are "the police."
That's all fine, but we're talking about misconduct among local law enforcement officers. If you want to include TSA and ICE and the FBI and the Secret Service, we'll have to also find the statistics regarding misconduct complaints against them and add those into the mix.

The only additives I need in my vodka are a tiny splash of vermouth and maybe an olive.
Olives are an important food group, and contain omega-something. I forget which one, but I know it's one of the omegas.
It's Georgia. Kennesaw, Georgia.
And Republicans in Georgia have always run crooked elections.

Russia can mine the uranium, but it has not, and can not, ever leave the United States.
