Having seen even more advertisers flee Twitter after Elon fired off antisemitic comments on the social media platform, and after ads were discovered to be running alongside Nazi tweets, he is now attempting to rehabilitate his image via a transparently fake act of contrition: a photo-op visit to Auschwitz.

Nancy Mace just bent the knee and endorsed Trump. Extra-pathetic, after previously portraying herself as the sane, normal, rational Republican, not like those OTHER lunatics.
But here she is, slipping into a straitjacket and getting ready to parrot back whatever delusional word salad Trump has just uttered.
Just what is a sane, normal and rational republican? Probably not Nancy Mace, the poor woman forced to wear a Tee-shirt telling us all that she is an adultress. You can scarcely blame republicans for being frightened of Trump. One word and he can destroy their careers. I guess just having the nerve to stand up to the monster gives a republican some cover. Brad Kinzinger? Chris Christie? Most of the good republicans died a long time ago.
"Just what is a sane, normal and rational republican? Probably not Nancy Mace, the poor woman forced to wear a Tee-shirt telling us all that she is an adultress."

Well, here is the bribe that Turkey received for approving Sweden’s membership of NATO. So my comments about Hungary getting bribed with Saab fighter jets is possibly not far off the mark. It seems like it would be better to just kick Turkey and Hungary out of NATO? I get the impression Turkey’s government doesn’t much care whether Russia invades Europe, while Hungary’s government actively wants it to happen.

It has been appealed. So good luck to the lying old bat collecting any of that.”
Since Trump refuses to mount any kind of legal defense, and instead rants and raves in court and calls the judge a bum and the proceedings a witch hunt, and instructs his attorney to do the same, good luck winning an appeal.

Most of my favorite feeds are barely if at all posted to any more. Many others have taken theirs private. That mostly leaves the ones I use to get news I just don't find elsewhere, like Pam Merritt's feed, and she's on other platforms as well, so other platforms it is.
So now it turns out that there was a "hidden room" and a locked closet that the FBI was unable to search at Maga Lardo. In the areas they did search, they found stolen nuclear secrets, so I want to know: What was in the places they couldn't search? Heroin? Dead babies? Endangered species of animals?
So it's been raining and snowing since late last night. No groundhog shadows to be seen around here. Which reminds me of the time I stopped at the mom-and-pop grocery store on Sacramento street on my way home from work one time and bought a pound of sausage for my roommates because it was ground hog day...
They sold a Black History Month project called “Civil Rights Magnetic Learning Activity,” but had to pull it from their shelves because some of the important civil rights figures included in the “learning activity” (Booker T. Washington, Carter G. Woodson and W.E.B. Du Bois) are apparently labelled as somebody else.
Insert your favorite ancient, dusty, worn-out, cliched “I guess black people all look alike” joke here.
"... And for those of you who who've beeen walking around in a naive stupor here's a reality check."
Melissa Harris Perry said that she wasn't surprised when Fergus won for precisely that reason. Perhaps now that Roe has fallen and the threats to bodily autonomy are very real, more white women will vote their gender over their race. Probably not Republican white women though, as it has been demonstrated repeatedly that Republicans will vote for candidates whose policies will literally kill them, such as the refusal of the Medicaid expansion.
It will probably be someone horribly Trumpish and lawless and fascistic, but yet not so loud and attention-seeking as to steal his spotlight. Trump will be looking toward the Marjorie Taylor Greene end of the spectrum.
Thought I would have moved to Humboldt county before the upcoming election, but now it doesn't seem likely to happen. Also, Ballottrax sent me an email this morning saying my ballots are in the mail.
The DC circuit finally pulled their thumbs out of their butts (h/t: Show Me Progress):
We have balanced former President Trump’s asserted interests in executive immunity against the vital public interests that favor allowing this prosecution to proceed. We conclude that “[c]oncerns of public policy, especially as illuminated by our history and the structure of our government” compel the rejection of his claim of immunity in this case. See Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. at 747–48. We also have considered his contention that he is entitled to categorical immunity from criminal liability for any assertedly “official” action that he took as President — a contention that is unsupported by precedent, history or the text and structure of the Constitution. Finally, we are unpersuaded by his argument that this prosecution is barred by “double jeopardy principles.” Accordingly, the order of the district court is AFFIRMED. [….]
So ordered.
So he got what he wanted: a long delay that will get even longer with en banc appeals and appeals to the goddamn supremes, who could have cut this all short and not denied Jack Smith when he asked them to just take the case because they were going to get it anyway no matter what. That makes them complicit in the goddamn delay strategy unless they quickly decide to refuse to hear the case and thus only add another month to the delay.
In an unexpected development, my horrible. horrible congresscritter, Tom the fuck McClintock, voted with the sane and stopped the house from impeaching Alejandro Mayorkas.
“In an unexpected development, my horrible. horrible congresscritter, Tom the fuck McClintock, voted with the sane and stopped the house from impeaching Alejandro Mayorkas.”
Huh. Sanity prevails, for now.
Although the Republicans swear they’ll try again to impeach him, since they prefer pointless, “eff you, Democrats” gestures to solving any of the country’s real problems.
Note: The exact same House Republicans refuse to provide any additional resources or powers to allow Biden to resolve the asylum seeker bum-rush at the border, because they don’t actually want it resolved; rather, they want it to continue so they can blame Biden for it happening.
Biden won the Nevada Democratic primary, while Nikki Haley lost to "none of these candidates" in the Republican primary, which Fergus wasn't running in.
Well, Republican senators care so deeply about the “chaos at the border” they keep screaming about, that they have officially refused to pass a bill to do anything to address it.
Perhaps this is because they don’t actually give a crap about governing, and instead just see scaremongering about brown-skinned “invaders” as beneficial to their election chances?
I’m pretty disgusted at the actions of special prosecutor Robert Hur. It’s very evident that when he found he couldn’t prosecute Biden for withholding classified documents, because Biden’s actions didn’t rise to the level of criminality, Hur got scared that his fellow Republicans would ostracize him for failing to “deliver” for them. So he decided to verbally trash Biden using Trump’s (and Nikki Haley’s) attack lines about his alleged senility instead, as compensation.
This is highly unprofessional behavior for a prosecutor.
I don’t know why Merrick Garland felt the need to appoint a Republican to handle this matter anyway. It’s not like it was ever going to make Republicans respect the outcome. They were always going to declare the investigation biased and rigged in Biden’s favor, unless it resulted in his conviction and execution for treason.
Hur’s unnecessary, sneery, off-topic commentary on Biden was worse than what Comey said about Clinton, when each announced the conclusion of his investigation that no charges were warranted.
The United States Supreme Court absolutely destroyed the Colorado case against Trump. The harshest and most pointed questioning from the bench came from two of the most liberal justices. If it isn't a 7-2 or 8-1 decision putting Trump back on the ballot, it'd be a surprise
The framers of the constitution never envisioned a president inciting an insurrection, or a political party so batshit insane as to refuse to use the mechanism they included for removing a bad president right after being attacked by a mob sent by said president to stop the transfer of power. Y'all are doing your damnedest to prove Putin right when he claims that democracies are too chaotic and unwieldy to function properly. And calling for a second civil war all the while. Well, here's your damn civil war: It now falls to us, the sane majority, to prove y'all wrong at the ballot box. Thank your lucky stars that it isn't a shooting war, as the US military would put y'all down in a week.

"Argh, Elon has made changes to Twitter again, and it looks like these changes are likely to kill off Nitter completely within a month. So then it’ll be necessary to create an account to see posts once again, and to accept viewing everything in the crappy format Elon insists on."
ReplyDeleteMost of my favorite feeds are barely if at all posted to any more. Many others have taken theirs private. That mostly leaves the ones I use to get news I just don't find elsewhere, like Pam Merritt's feed, and she's on other platforms as well, so other platforms it is.

So now it turns out that there was a "hidden room" and a locked closet that the FBI was unable to search at Maga Lardo.
ReplyDeleteIn the areas they did search, they found stolen nuclear secrets, so I want to know: What was in the places they couldn't search? Heroin? Dead babies? Endangered species of animals?

ReplyDeleteDonald Trump’s horcruxes.
So it's been raining and snowing since late last night. No groundhog shadows to be seen around here. Which reminds me of the time I stopped at the mom-and-pop grocery store on Sacramento street on my way home from work one time and bought a pound of sausage for my roommates because it was ground hog day...

Well, folks, Target tried.
ReplyDeleteThey sold a Black History Month project called “Civil Rights Magnetic Learning Activity,” but had to pull it from their shelves because some of the important civil rights figures included in the “learning activity” (Booker T. Washington, Carter G. Woodson and W.E.B. Du Bois) are apparently labelled as somebody else.
Insert your favorite ancient, dusty, worn-out, cliched “I guess black people all look alike” joke here.
... And for those of you who who've beeen walking around in a naive stupor here's a reality check.

ReplyDeleteMelissa Harris Perry said that she wasn't surprised when Fergus won for precisely that reason. Perhaps now that Roe has fallen and the threats to bodily autonomy are very real, more white women will vote their gender over their race.
Probably not Republican white women though, as it has been demonstrated repeatedly that Republicans will vote for candidates whose policies will literally kill them, such as the refusal of the Medicaid expansion.

Killer Mike won three Grammys, and then got cuffed and carted away by the cops serving an arrest warrant the moment he walked offstage.
ReplyDelete“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times …”
"Well, folks, Target tried."
ReplyDeleteTo their credit it was a diverse book. Any book that has Cindi Rice AND Louis Farakkhan is at least trying.
So Fergus did mention him as a potential veep.

“So Fergus did mention him as a potential veep.”
ReplyDeleteYeah, it’s not gonna be Tim Scott.
It will probably be someone horribly Trumpish and lawless and fascistic, but yet not so loud and attention-seeking as to steal his spotlight. Trump will be looking toward the Marjorie Taylor Greene end of the spectrum.
I keep hearing Elise Stefanik.
J.D. Vance seems to want it pretty bad.

“J.D. Vance seems to want it pretty bad.”
ReplyDeleteUgh. I could see that happening. Revolting to think about. I hate that guy.
Thought I would have moved to Humboldt county before the upcoming election, but now it doesn't seem likely to happen. Also, Ballottrax sent me an email this morning saying my ballots are in the mail.

ReplyDeleteThe DC circuit finally pulled their thumbs out of their butts (h/t: Show Me Progress):
ReplyDeleteWe have balanced former President Trump’s asserted interests in executive immunity against the vital public interests that favor allowing this prosecution to proceed. We conclude that “[c]oncerns of public policy, especially as illuminated by our history and the structure of our government” compel the rejection of his claim of immunity in this case. See Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. at 747–48. We also have considered his contention that he is entitled to categorical immunity from criminal liability for any assertedly “official” action that he took as President — a contention that is unsupported by precedent, history or the text and structure of the Constitution. Finally, we are unpersuaded by his argument that this prosecution is barred by “double jeopardy principles.” Accordingly, the order of the district court is AFFIRMED. [….]
So ordered.
So he got what he wanted: a long delay that will get even longer with en banc appeals and appeals to the goddamn supremes, who could have cut this all short and not denied Jack Smith when he asked them to just take the case because they were going to get it anyway no matter what. That makes them complicit in the goddamn delay strategy unless they quickly decide to refuse to hear the case and thus only add another month to the delay.

In an unexpected development, my horrible. horrible congresscritter, Tom the fuck McClintock, voted with the sane and stopped the house from impeaching Alejandro Mayorkas.

“In an unexpected development, my horrible. horrible congresscritter, Tom the fuck McClintock, voted with the sane and stopped the house from impeaching Alejandro Mayorkas.”
ReplyDeleteHuh. Sanity prevails, for now.
Although the Republicans swear they’ll try again to impeach him, since they prefer pointless, “eff you, Democrats” gestures to solving any of the country’s real problems.
Note: The exact same House Republicans refuse to provide any additional resources or powers to allow Biden to resolve the asylum seeker bum-rush at the border, because they don’t actually want it resolved; rather, they want it to continue so they can blame Biden for it happening.
Biden won the Nevada Democratic primary, while Nikki Haley lost to "none of these candidates" in the Republican primary, which Fergus wasn't running in.
ReplyDelete-Doug in Sugar Pine
Well, Republican senators care so deeply about the “chaos at the border” they keep screaming about, that they have officially refused to pass a bill to do anything to address it.
ReplyDeletePerhaps this is because they don’t actually give a crap about governing, and instead just see scaremongering about brown-skinned “invaders” as beneficial to their election chances?
R.I.P. Mojo Nixon.

Federal Judge Amit Mehta has rejected former Trump aide Peter Navarro’s bid for release pending appeal of his criminal contempt conviction.
Said Mehta: “Defendant’s cynical, self-serving claim of political bias poses no question at all, let alone a ‘substantial’ one.”

I’m pretty disgusted at the actions of special prosecutor Robert Hur. It’s very evident that when he found he couldn’t prosecute Biden for withholding classified documents, because Biden’s actions didn’t rise to the level of criminality, Hur got scared that his fellow Republicans would ostracize him for failing to “deliver” for them. So he decided to verbally trash Biden using Trump’s (and Nikki Haley’s) attack lines about his alleged senility instead, as compensation.
ReplyDeleteThis is highly unprofessional behavior for a prosecutor.
I don’t know why Merrick Garland felt the need to appoint a Republican to handle this matter anyway. It’s not like it was ever going to make Republicans respect the outcome. They were always going to declare the investigation biased and rigged in Biden’s favor, unless it resulted in his conviction and execution for treason.
Shorter Hur: It worked when Comey did it...
ReplyDelete-Doug in Sugar Pine
“Shorter Hur: It worked when Comey did it...”
ReplyDeleteHur’s unnecessary, sneery, off-topic commentary on Biden was worse than what Comey said about Clinton, when each announced the conclusion of his investigation that no charges were warranted.
The United States Supreme Court absolutely destroyed the Colorado case against Trump. The harshest and most pointed questioning from the bench came from two of the most liberal justices. If it isn't a 7-2 or 8-1 decision putting Trump back on the ballot, it'd be a surprise
ReplyDeleteTRUMP 2024!!

ReplyDeleteThe framers of the constitution never envisioned a president inciting an insurrection, or a political party so batshit insane as to refuse to use the mechanism they included for removing a bad president right after being attacked by a mob sent by said president to stop the transfer of power.
ReplyDeleteY'all are doing your damnedest to prove Putin right when he claims that democracies are too chaotic and unwieldy to function properly.
And calling for a second civil war all the while.
Well, here's your damn civil war: It now falls to us, the sane majority, to prove y'all wrong at the ballot box.
Thank your lucky stars that it isn't a shooting war, as the US military would put y'all down in a week.
