He didn't create the most dangerous he just created the one that sticks in peoples minds. There were plenty of dark web sites before him and plenty more after what he did was create one that became the most popular. When you factor in the name of the site and his name as well it was eye catching and something that the media could run with. His website design was also the best that had up until that point existed.
While people might have died of overdoses we don't throw drug dealers in jail for life plus 40 years for bad pills or for people who abused them causing their death. The murder-for-hire stuff is still super popular on the dark web but even US law enforcement say it is just used as a scam. People just take the money they are sent and disappear.
Did he allow for some laws to be broken on the site? Sure but the punishment was absolutely unjust. The US came in and tried to make an example of him but then never enforced laws like they did to him again.
I'm trying to remember but I think the “knock” against him with those positions where his lack of power. I want to say he was projected to be a 10-15 hr player with a high batting average and ability to drive the ball to all parts of the field
To make matters worse how is Mariano Rivera the only ever unanimous and freaking Hank Aaron wasn't?!? Same with Ty Cobb and Nolan Ryan?!?
I saw somewhere that he might be playing left field which if true I could only assume would be due to his offense cause unless y'all have a Houston-like left field its not really close to second base!
While I was in college ( I got my degree in psychology) one of the big things coming out at the time was that cursing was a sign of emotional intelligence and was also something that people would do to manage pain... Granted this is all within reason because there is a cliff of if you cuss to much but within a certain section which was above what people would have though cussing was actually really pretty good for people to do.
Members of Congress travel allllll the time I mean I would say it is part of the job description and I am not sure if LA has had a previous issue with the Mayor traveling but from a Member of Congress angel they travel a lot
Yeah I agree with the issue with the R attached to anyone's name and how they do seem to be looking towards the middle more. That is why I think he would fit the bill very very well and could win in a race by a landslide. I am sure he will get knocked for having private fire fighters but ya know the guy protected his property that isnt his fault.
I heard this weekend that Bass had said during her election run that she wouldnt leave the country during her term as Mayor and welp she did not keep that promise at all!
Honestly since the 90 day extension was built in the ramp up ramp down didn't cost the US government anything. I'm not sure how a meeting costs a dime since they have to come to us and we are already at work…
Zero money lmao TikTok made the decision to shut off themselves before the break and then the Trump Admin said they wouldn't enforce it. First day he will likely authorize the 90 day extension and we will get another Project Texas like agreement
