A fun thing to do with this supposed Napoleon quote is to do a google search to see what forums it appeared on with this exact wording before 2022. I'm no computer whiz, so maybe I messed up, but the only hits I got were these two...for Stormfront, a neo-Nazi forum.

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case.
Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Old Guard Democrats on the hill need to get over their prejudice against digital media and content creators if they want to amplify their messages. Get on every podcast every day. Build audiences. Create a massive digital messaging network. Adapt or get left behind.

🧵 In January there is a sentencing hearing for Cory Young, a neo-Nazi skinhead who plead guilty for his role in the murder of Jake Kelly, a gay man from Phoenix.
If it’s anything like the last hearing, then the room will be packed with fellow neo-Nazis and so far, Jake’s mother has stood alone.

Back in October she plead guilty to her role in the murder of Jake Kelly, a gay man from Phoenix. With only a hindering charge, she’s only facing the possibility of one year in prison, but the deal also allows her to get up to five years probation.

Hi friends!
I just wanted to give a quick update on The Onion’s purchase of InfoWars, which we can’t wait to relaunch as the dumbest website on the internet.
The long and short of it: We won the auction and — you're not going to believe this — the previous InfoWars folks aren't taking it well.

In Texas now, a doctor who performs an abortion on a woman who doesn't want a child faces 99 years in prison. But a creep who slips abortion meds into his pregnant wife's drinks, causing their baby to be born with complications? That's six months. Tell me again how it's not about punishing women?

I think part of why Travis Kelce makes chuds so mad is because he’s a goofy normie from the Midwest with a bunch of big rowdy brothers and it kills them that that kind of person still broadly thinks vaccines are good and doesn’t care whether their beer is woke
