    The parties have nominated their special master candidates, one of which is an obvious throwaway, and Judge Cannon has an opportunity to thoroughly discredit herself as a biased partisan hack by picking that one. I say sixty-forty she will. Otherwise she’ll have to go with Dearie despite his Carter Page record, as she dare not pick one of DOJ’s nominees. The boss wouldn’t like that.

    @RR @ #1

    Well, at least some good news is there about one of Fat Donny’s little leagalistical tantrums.

    The man is so fucking DUMB it’s pathetic. He has got to be about the stupidest individual who could ever stumble into a position. Another thing, this particular dismissal includes the very real possibility of heavy sanctions by the Judge on his Lawyers, including disbarment or suspension of their licenses. This is one reason Lawyers of any real reputation and acumen are flat refusing to work with him. The man is an utter fucking idiot.

    @3 It’s all theater, intended to open the MAGA suckers’ wallets, and he doesn’t give a shit what happens to the lawyers, figuring there’s always more where they came from.

    @4 It’s customary, but not required, for sitting presidents to invite former presidents to join the official U.S. delegation attending a funeral of a foreign head of state.

    Trump no doubt will go; he’s busily posting photos of himself with the Queen. The only question is whether he’ll go on Air Force One or British Airways (his own jet being out of commission).

    Biden gets to decide that.

    Right after i posted this on the previous thread

    This evening I walked the city with my 1st cousin’s daughter. She’s visiting NYC, and staying with me for the last couple of nights until tomorrow. She’s been in the US for the last three weeks. At first she stayed a week in Boston at some type of school program studying English. Her English is pretty good. She’s studying to be a dentist in Spain. She was born and grew up in Italy. After a week in Boston she flew to Miami to check it out, and from Miami she flew to NYC. She is approximately 22 years old. She knows Italian, Spanish and English fluently.

    Anyways this evening we took a fairly long walk along the Hudson River Parkway – 20,000 steps. It’s been quite a while since I have solely taken a walk with a female of her age for such a long distance, passing hundreds of people.

    Now she’s not a knockout by any means but she’s no horse. Anyways, what I noticed as we walked, was how every straight appearing male looked at her as we walked by them. And it wasn’t just a glance in passing, they were stares up and down.

    So the point here, for Bob, is that the only thing keep heterosexual men from having bareback sex with strangers is a woman. No wonder so many men are killing their wives and raping women, and homophobes like Bob exude with such jealousy they are bitter.

    Not a gay man’s fault that you can’t get laid Bob. Or I should say get laid by anything but a horse.

    Bob, you and other heterosexual men can’t take credit for not having bareback sex with strangers of the opposite sex.

    Bob posted this, “Not exactly accepting responsibility, is it, asswipe?”, regarding another comment. I found that extremely ironic and hypocritical, as Bob is. He’s an asswipe always accepting responsibility (sarcasm)

    Saw my first Rivian EV today, a truck parked in a grocery store lot.

    Looking forward to a few years from now, when all of the energy sucked out of the grid in the country’s warmer large cities by the EVs owned by rich people cause blackouts for all of the other taxpayers whose taxes support the subsidies that encourage the rich to buy EV toys.

    Or, ya know, maybe later this weekend in California.

    We’re good with what we’ve got.

    Two polls of AZ Senate. Emerson has Kelly up only 2, while a poll that by name libbies should hate has Kelly up 6.

    Each poll has a MOE of ~ 4, so there’s essentially complete overlap at the polls’ opposite margins.

    This could get more interesting.

  15. 15

    Those silly cherry-picked crime reports – y’all have posted the same one twice so far this year – might actually gain more traction if a trend of major cities not sharing crime stats with the FBI continues.

    Don’t forget: Nearly 40% of law enforcement agencies nationwide, including the New York City Police Department and Los Angeles Police Department, failed to report their 2021 crime data to the FBI, according to data provided to Axios Local from a partnership with The Marshall Project.

    It’s understandable why cities don’t trust the FBI. In recent years the FBI has done much to undermine historic trustworthiness.

  16. 16

    As we head into what will likely be an increasing focus on the debates this Fall, I’d like to share a few memories from the 2016 election season:

    Like this one:

    Brazile under siege after giving Clinton debate questionhttps://www.politico.com › story › 2016/10 › donna-br…
    Oct 31, 2016 — Hacked emails show Brazile tipping the Clinton campaign off ahead of time on questions that might come her way at CNN events.

    And this one:

    Donna Brazile Regrets Sharing Debate Questions With Hillary …https://www.sfgate.com › news › media › Donna-Brazil…
    Former DNC chairwoman and disgraced CNN commentator Donna Brazile has admitted that she relayed confidential questions to Hillary Clinton’s presidential …

    Why would Hillary need Brazile’s help if she was such a strong candidate? She was facing a broken down old man, after all. A fucking socialist, even.

    Oh, those are the same memory? My bad.

    Right now 538 has GA Senate 50:50.

    On June 14 it was 63:37 in Walker’s favor, so it’s not like the GOP has been killin’ it. Still, WTF was that poll that had Warnock up 10 – polls like that are aimed at The Even Bigger Fucking Moron and his ilk of stupid people who will believe anything.

  18. 18

    538 has shifted more toward Democrat control of late. Its model’s mode currently sits at 51D:49R for the Senate in the next Congress.

    DOVER, N.H. — Rep. Chris Pappas (D-NH) tweaked President Biden for calling Trump supporters “semi-fascist” at a campaign stop.

    Pappas: “The president has to be careful not to paint with too broad of a brush. That divisive rhetoric all around is poisonous to our democracy.”

    This is what Democrat Congressmembers tend to think when their approval numbers are underwater by a point.

  20. 20

    OK, it’s a NH poll from August 15. Still, for these three Democrats, reason for concern:

    Only 39% of voters believe that Hassan deserves re-election. 38% of CD-1 voters believe that Pappas deserves re-election, unchanged since March, while 36% of CD-2 voters believe that Kuster deserves re-election, up 3 points since March.

    It’s been a long time since a NH Senate race poll has been published.

    Oh, and Kuster? She’s in such bad shape that the Democrats are trying to pick her opponent:

    Railfan, if there is a rail strike prior to the midterms, will it affect election results?

  26. 26

    This could get more interesting.

    It always does. Polls narrow. Lots of data to indicate that 2020 Trump voters are avoiding sampling right now. That may change. And it provides a good example of challenges facing polls. Should they oversample those voter groups now? What if they grow more enthusiastic about responding as election day gets closer? What if some of them skip voting in this cycle?

    8:49 AM · Sep 9, 2022

    Er, probably not this, especially when your party is already hemorrhaging Hispanic voters.

    In Nevada, the right to abortion services was passed as a general referendum and can only be overturned by another vote by its residents. Since we’re told that people overwhelmingly want a right to abortion, this is a nothingburger to the citizens of Nevada.

    Of course, if she doesn’t tweet about abortion she’d have to tweet about shit like inflation, illegal aliens flooding into her state, and her Democrat colleague’s recent murder of an investigative journalist.

    So, abortion it is!

    Garbage In, Garbage Out: Are Republican “Pollsters” Gaming Poll Aggregators with Bullshit “Polls?”

    just one day before, er, those polls turned out to be accurate. For YLB, it was a stunning and traumatic loss of innocence for one of her local heroes to be proven absolutely wrong and in such a public manner. I was hopeful that she’d actually learn from it and that her ovotestes might masculinize a bit. Sadly, that has not been the case, as our darling YLB is as shrill and unserious as ever. As long as other peoples’ money keeps rolling in to sustain her she has not a care in the world.

    @ 31

    Wasn’t David Goldstein’s call more or less the same as Darryl’s?

    No.

    What Darryl did was devise a statistical model and stick to it, for months. He accepted every poll that met his reasonable criteria without preferential weighting, and ran 100,000 tests for each state, based on the model-included poll results.

    What Goldy did was engage in hyperbole as it began to dawn on him that a race Hillary could not lose might, in fact, be lost.

    It’s no surprise, YLB, that you do not understand the difference, but to be honest through your misunderstanding you do Darryl a disservice by comparing the two.

    25)A couple unions have settled, then again, the electricians and train dispatchers aren’t facing the same issues that hedge funds that took a potentially good operating philosophy and ruined it for corporate greed. Precision Scheduled Railroading was sold as a way to benefit the operating crews, supposedly it would be predictable work. Then they thought fewer but longer trains helped tge balance sheet. It backfired on the employers and tge employers want more. Possibly the future of the conductors are on the line, although the way US freight trains are run, we should never go to one man crews. In Europe and Japan tgey tend to have one man freight trains, but they are shorter, because the freight trains have to give way for passenger trains, especially in Japan.

    It looks like Congress will have to weigh in, and adopt the Presidential Emergency Board recommendation. Probably after a few days. It benefits both labor and management, and also doesn’t give both sides all they want. Future of two man crews may be better determined on the local level. If it weren’t for these 3 mile long or longer freight trains, could see intermodal trains be one person crews. Unless State DoTs are willing to bridge the streets that cross tracks, should never go for no-man crews. Not like a commercial airliner where I can see that planes over 10 seats should never go below two persons. BTW, airlines and pilots unions should be watching this, they are governed under the Railway Labor Act.

    Overcrowded processing center has Border Patrol releasing more migrants on El Paso streets

    With its detention facility at capacity, the Border Patrol released nearly 500 migrants Wednesday and Thursday. Another 300 are expected to be released Friday, with an undetermined number over the weekend.

    Yabbut they promise – pinky-swear – to show up years from now, when it’s time, for their immigration hearing.

    “These people still have an immigration obligation … So yes, it’s not that they are released into the community … without being responsible for reporting and showing up to court,” Rivera said.

    Since he’s been governor since 2015, voters could fairly ask why he waited 7 years to get tough on crime.

    Meanwhile, in a state where 2 of every 3 voters is a Democrat, his GOP would-be successor is a QAnon nutcase who favors criminalizing marijuana and legalizing ghost guns; I wonder how that will turn out?

    I suspect that statehouse might flip from red to blue.

    @19 What should German Social Democrats have called the Nazis, a civic improvement association?

    Republicans are fascists. Not semi-fascists, but full-blown fascists.

Biden calling them semi-fascists was exercising restraint. Calling them Nazis would be calling them what they are.

They do it manually, shutting down and locking out individual substations, and putting running jumps on specific span wires to stop any current left in the line.

    The real contribution to victory came a few days earlier at North Point, where a sniper took out the British General. One of two events that helped defenders on Hempstead Hill, the other was the RN unable to get past Fort McHenry.

    Looks like the Center-Right block won in Sweden, but it remains to be seen if they can form a stable coalition. Although the Rightwing Swedish Democrats got more seats, the Moderate party leader is expected to be the new PM. Depends on how much they gives for support from the SD. Could lose the other two parties in his four party coalition. If they form government, it may not last. They only have 3 seats difference.

    Sweden uses an open-list system, with seats apportioned to districts, but they are multi-member. A little better than Israel, where all 120 seats in the Kenesett are one nationwide district. I prefer the Irish, Australian, and the German systems over Winner Take All. The German system actually combines proportional representation with single seat districts, and the states have some good variations too.

    Railroad labor negotiations seem to be down to just BLET and SMART-TD, which represents Engineers and Conductors. The PEB unfortunately left out some issues that impact these two crafts.

    “Buckingham Palace did not invite President Joe Biden to assemble a delegation to attend the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II next week, and instead extended a specific invitation for only the President and first lady, a White House official told CNN. The White House announced Sunday that Biden had formally accepted the invitation and would be accompanied by the first lady.”

    ” … other Americans will be invited directly through the palace, not the president.”

    Th FBI’s 270-page dossier on singer Aretha Franklin contains “an April 1973 review pertaining to the Black Liberation Army showing one document bore the address of Franklin’s booking agency in New York City. The document described the BLA as ‘a quasi-military group … employing the tactics of urban guerrilla warfare against the established order with a view toward achieving revolutionary change in America.'”

    That sure sounds familiar, if you delete the BLA part. It’s okay when whites do it (back then, they called the guerrillas waging warfare “The Klan,” which was fine in J. Edgar’s eyes), only bad when blacks do it.

    It’s very interesting how the same people who want to be isolationist and close American bases overseas, are the same people who will scream bloody murder that China have been given too much influence over the world and the Democrats are not doing anything to stop them.

    Twitter is abuzz about Trump arriving in DC. Some speculation is it appears he was pulled off the golf course. Medical? Legal?
