"Real talk: Daniel Rubin has a great little piece up wherein he chats with The Field Negro, the Philly-based blogger who sharply ponders all things black on a daily basis. (Seriously, if you’ve never checked in with TFN, you should: Its author, Wayne Bennett, is a fantastic read who can cut through bullshit like a hot knife through butter, which is a far grosser analogy than I wanted to make, but there you have it.)"

To African Americans, he is part of a growing army of black Internet amateurs who have taken up the work once reserved for ministers and professional activists: the work of setting a black agenda, shaping black opinion and calling attention to the state of the nation's racial affairs."

"That's why I love the blog "Field Negro" so much. Field, as he's known to his fans, has the sense of reality that it takes to call out the (CowPuckey) of blame beating by those who are in positions of power and their lackeys. Because of his handle and his unabashed way of writing about racial issues, Field is often cited as a "Black blogger." What he is, however, is a first-class detector of blame deflection and an excellent student of history. If you want to write about the past and future of repression there's really no other perspective to take - which is why everyone should read Field."

Small town iowa pig in chief ordered 90 machine guns for policeforce in town of 800 citizens. He then resold at least 6 through his private gun store for huge profits.
Police force never had more than 3 officers at one time.
from Des Moines Register... A small Iowa town of 800 residents likely has no need for a police force armed with 90 machine guns to keep the peace.
That, at least, is the view of federal prosecutors, who on Wednesday announced the indictment of Adair Chief of Police Bradley Wendt on charges of making false statements to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to obtain numerous machine guns over a four-year period on behalf of the Adair Police Department, which during Wendt's tenure has never had more than three officers.
Instead, according to prosecutors, weapons would be resold for profit through Wendt's private gun store or another store owned by a friend who also is facing charges

It's not as if we weren't warned. Opponents tried for years to stop the pipe line. The results will be endless accidents and destruction all along the pipeline.
“Expect years and possibly billions of dollars and there are no guarantees cropland or pasture will ever be the same.“
Yeah but energy independence! Drill baby drill!
KXL pipeline, which has finally been abandoned, would have been allowed to crry both regulat crude, which is taxed for environmental cleanup, and dilbit, whnich is not taxed. But the new pipeline was supposed to use heavier gauge steel because dilbit requires a chemical cocktail and high temps to make it liquid enough to flow through the pipe.
As I have mentioned before, dilbit chemicals are industrial secrets and not divulged to local cleanup crews or environmental officials so they don't know if they end up in drinking water or aquifers.

drumpf and his legal team must be in charge of executions...
The number of botched executions also reached an “astonishing” level, according to the resech by the Death Penalty Information Center, a Washington D.C-based clearinghouse that tracks developments in capital law and executions nationwide.
Seven of the year’s 20 execution attempts, or 35 percent, were “visibly problematic,” according to the report, either as a result of executioner incompetence, a failure to follow execution protocols, or defects in the protocols themselves.
“After 40 years, the states have proven themselves unable to carry out lethal injections without the risk that it will be botched,” the center’s executive director, Robert Dunham, said in an email. “The families of victims and prisoners, other execution witnesses, and corrections personnel should not be subjected to the trauma of an execution gone bad.”
“The number of botched executions also reached an ‘astonishing’ level, according to the resech by the Death Penalty Information Center”
The irony here is that this is likely indirectly caused by death penalty opponents.
Anti-death penalty activists have been pretty successful in their campaigns to shame doctors into not participating in executions, and to shame drug companies into not selling prison systems the drugs most effective for use in executions.
The end result is executions being performed by less medically qualified personnel, using less effective drugs. So, of course the number of botched executions will rise.
I am anti-death penalty, but I have to say I disapprove of this tactic. I want executions to end, but not at the short-term (one hopes) cost of condemned people suffering horrifically as they die. That seems wrong to me.
This is sure to make anymoosie's tongue get rock hard....

“Shadow committee set to release their alternate version of Jan 6th investigation. Pretty sure drumpf will be completely exonerated.”
They’ll find some way to blame antifa and Hunter Biden for the attack on the Capitol.
“The end result is executions being performed by less medically qualified personnel, using less effective drugs. So, of course the number of botched executions will rise.“
I say force them to watch trump speeches on an endless loop. Then again that would be cruel and unusual.
From Salon....
The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack announced on Monday four criminal referrals against former President Donald Trump to the Justice Department, including inciting insurrection, conspiracy to defraud the United States, obstruction of an act of Congress and conspiracy to make a false statement.
Monday's vote by the panel marked the first time in U.S. history that Congress has referred a former president to the DOJ for criminal prosecution — the result of an extensive 18-month investigation into Trump's efforts to overturn the presidential election.
The panel also referred five other Trump allies for potential prosecution, including former chief of staff Mark Meadow and lawyers Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Jeffrey Clark and Kenneth Chesebro, who assisted Trump's efforts to illegally hold on to power.

Texass judge strips Alex Jones of bankruptcy protections from Sandy Hook verdicts.
https://www.rawstory.com/alex-jones-bankruptcy-2658986002/
“Texass judge strips Alex Jones of bankruptcy protections from Sandy Hook verdicts.“
Darn.
The judge set the order "immediately to (i) allow the Sandy Hook Post-Trial Families' Cases to continue to proceed to entry of final judgment and (ii) once judgments are entered, to allow appeals, if any, to proceed and the Sandy Hook Post-Trial Families to pursue, respond to and participate in any such appeals without further order of the Court."
So the trial can proceed, regardless of his claims of bankruptcy.

House Panel Votes to Release Trump’s Tax Returns
December 20, 2022 at 7:37 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 70 Comments
“The House Ways and Means Committee voted Tuesday to publicly release the tax returns of former President Donald J. Trump, the culmination of a yearslong battle during which he defied modern tradition by keeping his finances confidential during his campaign and while in office,” the New York Times reports.
Axios: “It’s not immediately clear how quickly the House committee may release the returns, which will provide details on some of his tax payments, financial obligations and donations to charity.”
-Doug in Sugar Pine
“House Panel Votes to Release Trump’s Tax Returns”
Thank goodness. I was starting to fear they’d wimp out. I was envisaging them announcing, “Sorry, guys, we didn’t have time to analyze the tax returns because Trump ran out the clock like the shitweasel he is. Guess there’s absolutely nothing we can do. That dirty dog just outsmarted us again.” *sad trombone*
Maybe it is finally sinking in that being nice to a sociopath like Trump gains you nothing.
As it is, it looks like the Dems are not going to hike the debt ceiling, which sets us up for a Republican-created economic disaster next year. That’s infuriating. If they had any sense, they’d all grow a spine and block the GOP from doing that. But it would “look partisan,” so Manchin and Sinema probably won’t sign on.
“Space Karen has been voted off of the island. Let's see if he really leaves.
-Doug in Sugar Pine”
Elon now says, “I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job!”
That kinda sounds like a no to me, Doug.
Manchin and/or Sinema were why they didn't take it up in the senate. They did, however (as of the bill's current text) update the electoral count act, fund the government until September, get money for Ukraine, and money for the special counsel's investigation of Fergus, so the bastards can't defund it or some such horse shit. Kevin is throwing a fit because now he can't promise the Insane Clown Caucus shutdowns of the government as bribes for their votes for his speakership.

“Kevin is throwing a fit because now he can't promise the Insane Clown Caucus shutdowns of the government as bribes for their votes for his speakership.”
The cynical part of me says that taking federal shutdowns away from Republicans will only make debt ceiling standoffs more attractive to them.
And while shutdowns are annoying, a debt ceiling default could be devastating. I really hope this won’t happen, but I place zero faith in Republican to not do idiotic things. Over the next session, I expect the House to turn into a complete zoo, with people like MTG running amok and McCarthy caving to them at every turn.
They are all Trumps now.
IRS did not conduct mandatory audits of drumpf's first two years as alleged potus.
magats are threatening to release tax returns of SCOTUS. I say go for it and let's see what illegal shit activist magats have been doing or have done.

“but I place zero faith in Republican to not do idiotic things. Over the next session, I expect the House to turn into a complete zoo, with people like MTG running amok and McCarthy caving to them at every turn.”
And then in2024 they’ll use the tired old “government can’t do anything” argument and Biden will get blamed and they’ll assume more power. Gotta live short attention span American voters.

So Philadelphia just had its 500th murder. More than 75% of those killed were black men, more than 90% killed by other black men. Where I live, that murder rate would translate to 10 murders in our county. Guess what? Hardly any blacks here, and no murders for the last 5 years.
Gun ownership here is the majority of households. We give a flying fuck about our lives. You couldn't care less about your own. Black lives ain't worth shit to black people. If you don't care about yourselves, don't ask us to give a damn about you. We don't. Keep it up, negroes!
