Police at first detained three people — the two 18-year-olds and a 14-year-old — who were in the car. The teens were arrested, while the child was released to a parent. In the car, authorities said they found a modified AR-15 pistol and a 60-round magazine. Dozens of armor-piercing rounds were also confiscated. The sheriff’s office said it believes the suspects were targeting certain individuals at the game.
“Everything went right,” Waybourn said. “This is a great example of law enforcement working with the community to stop a credible threat that could have created horrible circumstances at this game.”

As requested by plaintiff in their motion, both plaintiff and the defense were allowed in Judge Cannon’s order to name two persons they would prefer to serve as the Special Master. Then each side was allowed to file a response stating any objections they had to the other side’s named persons.
In the Plaintiff’s response they objected to both of the people named by the DOJ. In the DOJ’s response they only objected to the other person named by Trump. They said in their response that they were okay with Dearie.
So since Trump named Dearie and since DOJ said they were satisfied with him, that’s who it is. Trump forfeited any objections to the person of Judge Dearie when he offered him to the court as one of his two preferred persons.
But Trump may still object to the orders issued by the Special Master. And every part of the Special Master’s orders and proposed schedules goes before Cannon for her review.
Given the remarkable rebuke that Judge Cannon’s final order received from the 11th Circuit, I think there’s a good chance she is going to treat Judge Dearie’s orders and schedule with considerable respect. She may be feeling a bit sorry for herself at this point. But if she looks around for somebody to blame, it isn’t going to be the DOJ. They took a very limited and very respectful approach regarding her shitty final order.
But they also were very strategic and by leaving open all the other options, by agreeing to Trump’s choice for the Special Master, and by only seeking immediate relief from the documents where Cannon has no credible jurisdiction, they put her and Trump in this box.

Politica restored the weapon and fitted it out with the illegal modifications that make these kinds of weapons especially popular and sought after. He was intending to sell it at a gun show. But he brought it with him to a gun range and showed it to his friend, the murderous loser, and sold it then and there for cash. He used the cash for custom rims and a new giant television. He reported it stolen as soon as his fellow officers notified him that a gun registered to him had been used in a homicide. The Denver District Attorney knew all this.

She wants back into Gillead, which she helped create, brut Gillead don’t want an outspoken widow back in their society.
What stood out this week, was a scene at a border camp where June was getting into contact with Nick(father of her younger daughter). An Eye(Gillead secret police) or Guardian shows up without the password. Didn’t know it, but he was just dropping off a girl trying to escape. June was surprised he was going back, but he said they would think something was up if he was missed, plus he had a wife and daughter he couldn’t leave behind. I’ve learned over the past couple seasons of Handmaid’s Tale not to trust tge Men in Gillead, especially those in authority. They are quick to sell people out, especially each other. The Guardians are the US military either penetrated by Gillead before the takeover, or were indifferent after(remember, the Sons of Jacob wiped out Congress and the entire Line of Succession), but some who were thinking of escaping probably remembered they don’t leave anybody behind.

In Fort Worth, Texas, a white neighbor choked a 7-year-old black boy, so his mother called the police.
“Cellphone video showed the responding officer talking to the neighbor, who claimed that Craig’s son littered on his property and refused to pick it up. The officer then turned to Craig and asked, ‘Why don’t you teach your son not to litter?’ Craig told the officer that the neighbor could not prove that it was her son who littered and said even if the child did, it does not give the neighbor the right to choke him.”
“The officer responded, ‘Why not?’ He then told Craig that if she kept yelling, ‘you’re gonna piss me off and I’m gonna take you to jail.’ The situation escalated and when Craig’s daughter … stepped in between the officer and her mother, the officer tackled her.” And took Craig and her daughter to jail.
The city settled for a measly $150,000. The cop was suspended for only 10 days. The settlement doesn’t require the city to give its cops bias or de-escalation training. Because this is fucking Texas, where cops pick their noses and scratch their asses while teen gunmen slaughter schoolchildren.

Early planning concepts for the Second Transbay Crossing. If built, wouldn’t open until 2039. Then again, the first BART Tunnels, system planning started in 1957, during the administration of Governor Goodwin Knight, and opened in 1972 under Governor R,W. Reagan. 2039 is too optimistic, with NIMBYism weaponizing environmental lawsuits. Needlessly delayed CalTrain Electrification..
Adding regional rail service to the Second Tunnel, should have been in the first one. Unfortunately, at the time, Southern Pacific was aggressively eliminating their local services within California, and reducing the Cascade, Sunset, and City of San Francisco to Tri-Weekly. What replaced those lost local and services, starting when Reagan was Governor, is a pretty good system, just successive administrations, of both parties, didn’t bother to connect the San Diego-San Luis Obisipo Pacific Surfliner with the Capitols and San Juoquins. A crossing for the latter in the Tehachapis would have been great, to avoid freight rail opposition.
https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/a-new-train-tunnel-across-the-bay-here-are-early-maps/article_a4014c44-3a00-11ed-a85e-5f03a6bf21ef.html
Recently, CalTrain showed the public the Stadler KISS EMUs that will soon be running along the Peninsula Corridor. Much better design than the EMUs used in Denver, Chicago, New Jersey, and Philadelphia. Just wished Siemens had an FRA compliant model, so the distance being delivered by diesel locomotives was shorter. Sacramento is a lot closer to the Bay Area than Utah.
EvergreenRailfan spews:
As for the delivery of the EMUs from the Utah Factory, would have been great to have had it pulled by a diesel paired with a battery electric, but it was BNSF not UP, and UP owns all the lines out of Utah. BNSF has been, or will be testing battery electric locomotives, from both manufacturers, paired with Tier 4 Diesel-Electric locomotives.
Although traditional overhead electric locomotives are better for electric freight, as they are proven, this is an interim step. Current locomotives generate tons of energy during braking, but there has been no way to harness it with Diesel-Electrics. Traditional electrics can send it back into the overhead for the next train to use. Battery electrics could use it to recharge. Although GE proposed a hybrid version of the Evolution, but freight railroads didn’t want a smaller fuel tank so more batteries could be added. Progress Rail and GE’s successor Wabtec have come up with a better solution. When paired with a Tier 4, the BEL becomes a battery tender.

65,
In my estimation the most likely grounds for conducting an impeachment hearing will be immigration/border. They can’t cite any specific criminal or official misconduct. But the wording of the constitution allows for the House to approve articles of impeachment against a president for lesser shit, that basically boils down to them claiming that a president isn’t fulfilling the duties of the office.
That could mean almost anything to people who believe that a space laser has been hidden on the dark side of the moon, or that Bill Gates is planting tiny robots in your bloodstream. So what will matter will be what kind of show it would allow Republicans to mount for their audience members, with the understanding that Republicans now consider Congress to be a television program. So they’re just working on next season’s lineup.
But BORDER CRYSUS is one narrative theme they’d like to take into their convention in 2024. Cat food doesn’t work because it’s really not something a president can directly change and having a bunch of economist talking about interest rates is terrible television. Swimsuit Inspections and Drag Queen Story Hour is something they really can’t afford to have looked at very closely without a huge risk that people discover the truth.
BORDER CRYSUS gives the committee something they can stage events and footage around. They can pull more and more sick stunts, using asylum seekers and refugees as props. And literally create the television they need around it.

@50 “We count JFK, who won the presidency because he won Illinois because Democrats cheated.”
Kennedy won 303 EVs to Nixon’s 219. Explain the math of how Illinois’ 27 electoral votes changed the result. Show your work.

@51 “Your pitiful holdings are gonna decline another 12.5%”
So are your much larger holdings, and you’ll lose a lot more than I will. And I’ll get to buy much cheaper stocks with my surplus income while you’re begging Mrs. Dumbfuck for her Social Security check so you can buy hay at grossly inflated prices in order to have somebody to fuck.

68)I don’t see baseball weakening the post-steroids era rules much, although they are now hypocrites on gambling. Although the difference between MLB and Pete Rose/1919 White Sox is MLB works with legal sports betting.

The shooting occurred 5 days ago on Sept. 20. Strange that no arrest has been announced. Well, this guy didn’t do it.

@66 I have reason to believe a GOP House majority’s grounds for impeaching Biden will be, “Just because we can.”
Something to keep in mind about this fall’s elections is that if Republicans win both majorities in both houses of Congress, we’ll have to spend two years sleeping through serial impeachment trials while none of the nation’s important business gets done.

At last count 11 of my former teammates and coaches have said they saw me using PEDs AND a known dealer to MLB players had me in the ledger but thanks for saying I’m cleaner than Bonds because ALL OF THEM ARE LYING!

Which points out why you guys are the way you are: Trump did the unpardonable sin – he beat Hillary Clinton. Never mind Hillary was one of the most hated people on the planet by the other-than-libveral-elitist-cocksucker crowd, which was enough electoral votes to end Hillary’s sick quest for power and privilege.
You fuckers would like Hillary’s butt crack if you got the chance. That’s just how much you pieces of shit are fucked up.

Elijah Dominic McDotcom spews:
Yet in November of 2016 more people voted for her.
Which would mean that in November of 2016 Trump was hated more. Now, brilliant, well read, and carefully analytical observer of “pieces of shit” that you are, you might know differently. But Trump’s polling numbers are lower today than they were in November of 2016.
Yet here you are. Anxiously defending him from the mean girls of HA.
I’d say I wonder why. But I’d be lying.

The only people still obsessed with Hillary are conservatives. She terrified them.

–GOP decoder ring–
“Illegal voting” = “people voting for democrats”
“Crime worthy of impeachment” = “Begin a democrat”
“Tough on crime” = “Keep minorities in their place, preferably out of sight”
“Free market” = “Rigged market in favor of republican interests”
“States’ rights” = “Freedom to ignore human rights”
“Strong borders” = “Cheap immigrant labor without rights, so I can dismiss them without pay for any reason, and they can’t do shit about it”
“Pro life” = Forced Birth
“Freedom” = “No consequences for actions*”
*exclusive to white, straight, upper class republican men.
