Wednesday Evening Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Wednesday, 5/2/18, 6:01 pm

So, Donald Trump wrote the letter saying that Donald Trump is the healthiest person who ever lived. I can’t exactly explain why he would lie about his health. I think in general it’s probably not a good idea to speculate on his health. I mean sure, his campaign ran ads speculating about Hillary Clinton’s health. Clearly he is hiding something.

So, I guess a comic made some jokes at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Very offensive. I for one am sure that nobody who works in the Trump White House has ever heard vulgarity or insult.

Seriously though, I think the dinner is pretty gross as a concept. Oh we’re chummy buddy buddy over here. That should definitely be our job. I guess the White House correspondents should do their jobs better before they throw themselves a party.

I see we’re into the redemption phase of the me to movement. It seems pretty quick. I don’t know the correct amount of time, but even as someone who believes in second chances, this seems rushed. Especially since most people haven’t faced any legal punishment.

Also, I’m not seeing any steps that people are taking to prevent future harassment and assault by people credibly accused of past bad acts. No clearly laying out future consequences if they keep acting the same. Maybe that’s impossible, but then all the more reason not to start the redemption tour.

I think I might do the Wednesday open threads on the way home. See how y’all like it. This is definitely not just because I forgot to put one up this morning. Thank you and God bless.

Did you enjoy the weather this weekend? Me too. It was grand. I hope it’s good for a while. I could do with less foot traffic in places I frequent even when it’s a bit gloomy.

I don’t have anything to read over the weekend! I have several books on hold at the library, so I don’t want to start something that will take me a long time to read. The Grant biography that everyone says is great will have to wait. Anyone reading something light breezy that would be available at the Central Library or Elliott Bay Books?

I don’t know enough about peremptory challenges. But it seems like this is a good rule. Or at least an improvement. Here’s hoping it makes juries more diverse.

Open Thread 4/16

by Carl Ballard — Monday, 4/16/18, 8:02 am

I was unaware that there is an Eye of the Tiger PAC. Or that it’s run by Steve Scalise. Or that it had given money to Dino Rossi.

But back to Eye of the Tiger PAC! Do you have to get permission when you use a song? PAC changes the meaning of a words before it more quickly than anything else I can think of. Survivor are from Chicago, and Eye of the Tiger is used in Rocky III, but Scalise is from Louisiana.

I don’t know the rules for police officers who aren’t on the job. So I won’t say what the punishment should be for a cop ignoring a hate crime while they’re working on something else (video may autoplay). But morally, come the fuck on. Do better.

The VA has had problems for a long time. Still, I don’t think it was the best idea in the world to give the position to someone with no relevant experience. Call me old fashioned.

I went home fairly early after Drinking Liberally last night. Nonetheless, I am feeling tired. So instead of a coherent post, I am just going to do the half-sleep on public transit thing. Talk among yourselves.

So. Now we’ve seen the Stormy Daniels interview, does it add much? I think we all knew the outlines. I guess it’s good to hear it from her. I don’t care about an affair. And consensual sex is less gross than the sexual assault he has bragged about.

Campaign finance violations? Sure, probably. So blackmail possibilities from his careless behavior? Maybe. Hypocrisy of his religious supporters? Doy, but we already knew that.

Shouldn’t the President know what’s in a spending bill before Fox News tells him? Honestly, the bill is probably a piece of shit, but it’s his fucking job to know what’s in it during negotiations. He has experts at his disposal; Don’t rely on a semi-fictional TV talk show.
