    Biden is sharper than any Republican you can name, especially this one:

    https://www.youtube.com/shorts/L7ZA_Gbz3nM

    His name is Ralph Norman, and he represents the numbskull voters of South Carolina’s 5th C.D. Now let’s do a quick check of his mental acuity (courtesy of Wikipedia):

    On September 20, 2018, at an election debate for the Republican nomination, Norman joked about sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. He kicked off the debate by asking the audience, “Did y’all hear this latest late-breaking news on the Kavanaugh hearings? … Ruth Bader Ginsburg came out saying she was groped by Abraham Lincoln.”

    Thought when Labor disowned their own candidate in this British special election it would be a Tory pick-up. Instead, it’s worse for both the Tories and Labor, Galloway may not be MP for long, there is supposed to be a General Election this year, Sunak hasn’t set the date yet, probably waiting for the polls to improve. Interesting that their was a fixed-term parliament law, but the Tories repealed that.

    This is how you do a boycott.

    Bud Light boycott likely cost Anheuser-Busch InBev over $1 billion in lost sales

    CNN
    —
    The world’s largest brewer may have lost as much as $1.4 billion in sales because of the backlash to its brief partnership with a transgender influencer to promote Bud Light beer.

    Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD) reported record revenues for 2023 Thursday but said its “full growth potential was constrained” by its US business, where sales were hurt by a boycott of Bud Light over a sponsored Instagram post with Dylan Mulvaney.

    In North America, organic revenue, seen as the best measure of operating performance, plunged $1.4 billion last year as beer sales by volume tumbled in the region, primarily due to a decline in Bud Light sales in the United States. Beer makes up the lion’s share of AB InBev’s revenue.

    The reason libbies are never successful with their boycotts is libbies never spend their own money on anything. Just ask Queen YLB, who hasn’t worked a day in her unserious twatty life.

    “Before Governor DeSantis got elected, I helped fund a state Holocaust memorial. It’s five years later; they haven’t broken ground. Governor DeSantis has taken longer to commemorate the deaths of six million Jews than it took the Allies to stop the deaths of six million more,” Fine wrote.

    “Eighteen months ago, my Nazi ‘friends’ showed up in Florida. They assaulted a Rabbi. They beat up a Jew who yelled back at one of their protests,” he continued. “They commandeered highway overpasses to illegally hang banners saying ‘Gas the Jews.’ They have tormented Jews at their homes with filth. Until a few weeks ago, Governor DeSantis said almost nothing. And worse, he did almost nothing.”

    Fine explained that he was switching his endorsement from DeSantis to Trump because he argued that Trump’s actions demonstrated his support for the Jewish community.

    “Donald Trump didn’t just talk about moving the Embassy. He did it. Donald Trump didn’t just talk about Israeli security. He green-lit them annexing the Golan,” he said. “Donald Trump didn’t just talk about peace. He signed the Abraham Accords. He deserved a Nobel Peace Prize for it.”

    Hey, everyone, I’d like to highlight Queen YLB’s spew @ 14.

    The link in her spew references an article that references an op-ed written by its subject, a Jewish state legislator in Florida. Two clicks, and you’re there.

    Our world changed forever on October 7. The Holocaust did not end in 1945; it just went into hibernation. Radical Islam is the spiritual successor to the Nazis.

    Words won’t save us.

    Only actions will.

    Donald Trump didn’t just talk about moving the Embassy. He did it.

    Donald Trump didn’t just talk about Israeli security. He green-lit them annexing the Golan.

    Donald Trump didn’t just talk about peace. He signed the Abraham Accords. He deserved a Nobel Peace Prize for it.

    When he was President, Islamic countries weren’t attacking Jews over there; neo-Nazis were not attacking Jews over here because they feared him.
    …
    There is one man I know who can bring this to an end. I know this because I don’t have to trust his words.

    I can remember his acts.

    There is no choice – we must return Donald Trump to the Oval Office. For Israel. For Jews. For America. And for the World.

    Thank you, Queen YLB, for bringing this perspective to our collective attention. Please show it to your fucked kids as well.

    Now, I’m not a fan of national polls. Even so, the NYT/Siena poll is out.

    Trump is up 48-44 over my corrupt, incompetent, senile fossil of a president. In December Trump was down, 47-45.

    47% of registered voters in the US strongly disapprove of the Biden presidency.

    I’m not a fan of national polls. But I’m a huge fan of the forthcoming Biden disaster.

    Hey, time for a review of swing-stage polling averages compiled by RCP.

    Arizona: Trump by 5.5. In the February polls he’s up by 6 and by 3.

    Nevada: Trump by 7.7. In both February polls he’s up by 6.

    Wisconsin: Trump by 1.0. The last time Biden was up in WI was in November. The February polls have trump up by 3 and by 4.

    Michigan: Trump by 3.6. Four polls in February here, and Trump is up by 2, 2, 2, and 4 in them.

    Pennsylvania: Biden by a whopping 0.8. The two February polls had Trump up by 2 and by 6. The last poll that had Biden up was at the end of January, and it was only by 1.

    Georgia: Trump by 6.5. Both February polls have him up by 6 and none of the polls from November through February show Biden any closer than 5 behind. It’s over when The Fat Cow sings. Or, if you prefer, Election Night 2020 was the night that the Biden lights went out in Georgia.

    North Carolina: I shouldn’t even bring up NC, but for some reason Democrats are trying to make people think they could flip the state. Trump by 5.7, and one of the February polls has him up by 9. NPR did a story this past week – Kamala was in NC. I guess the Biden administration knows it has to put the unlikeable twat somewhere, and since NC is a lost cause it’s unlikely she could cause any more damage there. You’ll next see her rallying the Inuits for Biden standing next to Begich somewhere on the North Slope.

    Not a national poll in the bunch.

    Lest we forget, RFK Jr.’s at 15% nationally.

    I thought of this because Lisa Murkowski came out in support of Nikki Haley.

    As Joe Biden continues his accelerated spiral into senescence and unrecoverable political weakness, libbies might consider giving RFK Jr. another look.

    Who will be the first mainstream Democrat to acknowledge reality and endorse someone other than my corrupt, incompetent, senile fossil of a president?

  24. 24

    It’s not just your imagination, Fucked Kids of Queen YLB.

    More than twice as many voters believe Mr. Biden’s policies have personally hurt them as believe his policies have helped them. A majority of voters think the economy is in poor condition. And the share of voters who strongly disapprove of Mr. Biden’s handling of his job has reached 47 percent, higher than in Times/Siena polls at any point in his presidency.

    Hey, but go ahead and brush it off, libbies. After all, it’s a national poll. Not like there’s anything in it that could hurt your candidate’s chances.

    The only constitutional protection afforded to a political candidate for office is the protection of political expression in the First Amendment.

    That’s it.

    Being put on criminal trial arising from a lawful indictment process affording the accused every conceivable due process does not limit or infringe that accused person’s freedom of expression.

    Filing for office is not a get-out-of-jail card. And the potential consequences of trying to make it one are sweeping and shockingly unpredictable. I would immediately advise any client awaiting trial or pending appeal to file for local political office in order to use any such vast expansion of the First Amendment in order to postpone proceedings and file habeas to obtain their release if they were confined.

    Jails and prisons would empty.

    Many of those gaining their immediate freedom would be incredibly dangerous in our communities. But if we concluded that their individualized rights as political candidates overcome our public rights to protect our communities by enforcing the criminal laws, then we would be obligated to pursue and vindicate those individualized rights.

    QoS McHillbilly claims Dobbs is on the ballot. That may be, I guess, but the word abortion isn’t in this recent NPR piece:

    ELECTIONS
    Here’s what matters to voters — and what could change their minds if it’s Biden-Trump
    FEBRUARY 7, 20245:00 AM ET
    HEARD ON MORNING EDITION

    Upthread I referenced an NPR piece about Kamala in NC. She harped about abortion, but it’s not going to make a difference when Trump is up by 6 points. The people who vote abortion are already voting for Biden if they’re supporters, or Trump if they’re not. States’ rights, dude.

  36. 36

    @ 34

    Overall, opinions on abortion remain complex, with most people believing it should be allowed in some circumstances and not in others. About two-thirds of U.S. adults say abortion should generally be legal, but only about one-quarter say it should always be legal and only about 1 in 10 say it should always be illegal.

    Trump has waffled on the topic. During a recent Fox News town hall, he expressed support for limited exceptions and criticized state laws that ban abortion after six weeks. But he also has promoted his own role.

    “For 54 years they were trying to get Roe v. Wade terminated, and I did it and I’m proud to have done it,” he said.

    People can’t make rent. People can’t eat during the last week of the month. Abortion’s old news, and Gavin Newsom can’t bring himself to admit that some limitations, even at the extremes, are not unreasonable.

    Democrats enjoy killing babies. For too many of them it’s sport.

    Spokane Transit Authority launching Women’s History Month with a social media post about their first woman driver. A Korean War Hire by Spokane City Lines in December 1950. It’s interesting, she went from being boycotted by other women, to getting complements telling SCL management not to let her quit in just a few years.

    I dug up an old rider newsletter from the STA from 2002, also describing her story. Since she really needed the job, had to put up with a really invasive uniform inspection(she admitted in the recollection to being in violation, the mostly male management hadn’t adapted the dress code for the conditions, it was before air conditioning became standard at the STA). Also having a hard time finding a sitter so it was sometimes an early take your kids to work day. One of her kids was a long time STA Operator.

    https://www.facebook.com/100036214196069/posts/pfbid0Wd5goA2gLVFHv5duNKLKj7q4cuS6v4BQEpPMT5kxUtAhCfATfhdVQUazVQQoxtDNl/?

    She recalled the other woman driver hired with her, thought driving a bus was easy, had a crash in the first week and went back to being a nurse. In 1950, Spokane City Lines was owned by National City Lines, so if they had new buses, they were GMC. The Old Look as the early 1950s model was called, had a manual transmission, and she recalled it being an arm wrestling match steering it in the winter(pre power steering). A far cry from what Spokane Transit now operates.

    The STA her son drove for started with Diesel high floors, now operates Diesel, Hybrid and battery electric low floor buses of between 30, 35. 40, and 60ft lengths. The new City Line uses a 5 door version of New Flyer’s XE60, with two of those on the left side. For the Cheney High Performance Transit line, they will be operating another bus unimaginable on North American streets in 1950. Double deckers.

There was an attempt down in Portland by the existing City Commissioners to gut 2022’s reform. They would keep the voters intention to go district, use RCV, and sort of increase the size. What was authorized was increasing from 4 to 12 in three, four seat districts. The plan they chose not to go forward with was to only increase to 8, single seat districts, with the form of RCV that Multnomah County adopted for County Offices.

    About two-thirds of U.S. adults say abortion should generally be legal

    Putting Republicans in direct opposition with at least two thirds of US adults and an even higher percentage of actual voters on even this narrowly favorable framing.

    When a frozen embryo is granted greater legal protections than a living adult woman in a life threatening medical emergency, then MAGA is more than two thirds of the way to outlawing any form of contraception that interferes with an embryo.

    And that’s nearly all of them.

    At CPAC, on the same day that Trump forgot the name of his most recent wife, extreme MAGA Republicans announced that they want to outlaw “recreational sex”.

    I get that this is MAGA “flooding the zone with shit”. But it’s also creating an expanding permission structure for lifelong Republican voters to either quit or just stay home for a while.

    Speaking of RCV:

    A ballot measure to repeal Alaska’s ranked choice voting and return to a partisan primary has cleared an initial review.

    Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom, who heads the Alaska Division of Elections, announced Tuesday that sponsors of the anti-ranked choice initiative gathered nearly 37,000 signatures — about 10,000 more than necessary.
    …
    “We did a lot of work on validation, verification. Spent many months on it. So we feel very confident,” he said.

    The signatures come from 34 of Alaska’s 40 voting districts – four more than the law requires.

    The median asking rent in the 50 largest metros decreased to $1,712, down by $1 from last month

    Oh, and there’s this report card covering the remainder of Bidenflation’s devastation:

    Despite the six months of decline, the U.S. median rent was just $46 (-2.6%) less than the peak seen in August 2022. Notably, it was still $265 (18.3%) higher than the same time in 2020 (pre-pandemic).

    @ 45, 46

    Now, if the fine print had been consulted by either one of us, neither of these posts would have been written.

    With the release of its January 2024 rent report, Realtor.com® incorporated a new and improved methodology for capturing and reporting more comprehensive rental listing trends and metrics. The new methodology is expected to yield a cleaner, more representative and more consistent measurement of rental listings and trends at both the national and local level. The methodology has been adjusted to better represent the true cost of primary housing for renters. Most areas across the country will see minor changes with a smaller handful of areas seeing larger updates. As a result of these changes, the rental data released since January 2024 will not be directly comparable with previous releases and Realtor.com® economics blog posts.

    So your one-dollar (WOW!) January giveback to renters might not be real. Less likely to have been affected is the 18.3% increase in rent paid by Queen YLB’s fucked kids since my corrupt, incompetent, senile fossil of a president assumed office.

    42)Those that lose would push for repeal. San Francisco Supervisors even tried once, wanted to go back to December Runoffs. I mentioned Portland officials tried to undo The recent reforms before they went into effect. Although they acted like they were keeping the spirit of what voters wanted. The form it appears they will be using, is the proportional form. Higher the District Magnitude, lower the quota.

    Not just how voting is conducted is the issue, it’s money interests too.Saw a good coalition pass some kind of missing middle bill allowing it around high frequency and fixed guideway transit stops. This year, some legislators representing some of Seattle’s single-family home neighborhoods found out what the Feds consider fixed-guideway transit. They thought Queen Anne and Capitol Hill were exempt from the bill, but Trolleybus is fixed Guideway, Loopholes been closed. Might be a blessing though, still trying to expand the network, I don’t think battery only is a good replacement for this tried and true technology. Metro’s battery buses don’t run more than 7 hours without a charge, Rt7 has trolleybuses that run near-24 hour blocks. Our hills have saved this network time and time again.

    67)I have read many, some backers push the need to increase the size of the House as well, some don’t. I’m in the middle, not with the current system. One of the drawbacks to the 435 cap has been eliminated for now with the restoration of Montana 2nd. I would not add seats without RCV in some form, would leave which form up to the states. If the big states were able to use Mixed Member Proportional, would make special elections interesting. NZ it depends if it’s a District or List MP. If the latter, filling the vacancy is easy, next on the list. District, it’s a special election, and list MPs do run in those. The problem with that, is it’s usually up to the party ordering the list. Could be prone to the very abuses the Primary was created to fix.

    @17 “Donald Trump didn’t just talk about moving the Embassy. He did it. Donald Trump didn’t just talk about Israeli security. He green-lit them annexing the Golan. Donald Trump didn’t just talk about peace. He signed the Abraham Accords.”

    All of which, along with building settlements, confiscating Palestinian farmers’ land, and arresting Palestinian toddlers, pacified the Palestinians and brought peace to the region. Not.

    Trump will never achieve peace for the Israelis, because his Middle East “peace” plan calls on the Palestinian people to surrender, never have a state of their own, and submit to permanent subjugation and oppression to the point of extermination. It also doesn’t include feeding besieged, surrounded, and starving Gazans, half of whom are children.

    The problem for Israel in all this is they’re beginning to look like perpetrators of another Holocaust; and the problem for American voters with consciences is that Trump will do nothing to dissuade them and will even encourage them to pursue this course.

    But for dumbfucks like the Whidbee doctor, it’s fully consistent with his personal philosophy of FINISH THEM.

    Brookings, the preeminent think tank, has a new CEO: Cecilia Rouse, a Harvard-trained economist who recently chaired Biden’s Council of Economic Advisers, for which she was confirmed by a 95-4 Senate vote. Voting against her were Tom Cotton, Rick Scott, Tommy Tubes, and Rand Paul, which is the best endorsement I can think of — if they’re against someone, we should seriously consider backing them. Even Ted Cruz voted for her, I don’t know why, but I’ll make an exception this time and not hold that against her.

    Brookings is where you go for factual analysis and sound thinking. Kind of the opposite of Fox News and all of Doctor Dumbfuck’s other “sources.”

    He probably won’t like her, and not least because she’s a black woman. But he doesn’t read Brookings papers anyway. It’s not hard to figure out where her high IQ came from; her father was a Lawrence Livermore Laboratory physicist who couldn’t buy a house near where he worked because he was black.

    Which points out that for some folks skin color matters more than brains, ability, or contribution to society. I don’t vote for such people, or have friends who do.

If you need even more reason not to stress, just look at the historical precedence of foreign assets being seized in times of conflict.

    >> The landords collectively paid RealPages to analyze the data the landlords themselves provided, and RealPages used algorithms to set the prices for rent in various areas. If all landords raise their prices at the same handshaked agreed upon level, that eliminates competition and keeps prices high.

    Social Security’s Average Wage Index (AWI) rose 17.04% from 2020-2022, so you’re looking at a 1.26% real increase over a 3-year period during an acute housing shortage.

    How to End Republican Exploitation of Rural America
    https://washingtonmonthly.com/2024/02/28/how-to-end-republican-exploitation-of-rural-america/

    The way to end the Republican Party’s exploitation of rural communities is not as simple as convincing them that they should all vote for Democrats (though some of them surely should). For many, the positions of the Democratic Party on issues such as abortion and LGBTQ rights will always be unacceptable. What those rural, White voters need to do is not to vote Democratic, but to get themselves better Republicans.

    The first step to creating a potent political movement must be rural Whites’ acknowledgment that they’ve been blaming the wrong people for their problems. Hollywood didn’t kill the family farm and send manufacturing jobs overseas. College professors didn’t pour mountains of opioids into rural communities. Immigrants didn’t shutter rural hospitals and let rural infrastructure decay. The outsiders and liberals at whom so many rural Whites point their anger are not the ones who have held them back—and as long as they keep believing that they are, rural people won’t develop an effective form of politics.

    >> It’s a good idea, but I don’t know how anyone would crack the adamantine shell of rage and resentment and grievance conservative media bombards them with day in and day out 24/7.

    >> Alas the article had no concrete solutions. Rural voters have to chose to be better doesn’t seem like much to go on.

  122. 122

    The first step to creating a potent political movement…

    Why?

    Why on earth should intelligent, well adjusted, healthy, well educated Americans fully invested in modern, progressive, pluralistic society be interested in politically empowering assholes?

    We really just need to stop siding with them out a grotesquely misplaced sense of tradition and nostalgia. Ninety percent of modern rural culture is empty cosplaying. It’s elaborate and wasteful performance art using oversized, over accessorized, over powered diesel burning vehicles engaged in by morbidly obese wannabes who are more likely to lose a limb to a weekend beer-drunk chainsaw adventure as to ever sit on anything made by John Deere larger than a Gator.

    Rural America is a clown show.
    The rest of us just need to stop cheering them on and admiring them for it. Let the past be in the past and celebrate it there where it belongs. And be honest enough to admit that America’s rural cultural history was a lot less “independent” and a whole lot more cruel and exploitative than any of our fond depictions want to admit.

    The rest of us in Real America need to stop carrying water for them and pretending that they occupy a sacred moral high ground just because they are too poor to pave their own driveways.

    Republicans in the Arizona State Legislature have been working to put a measure on the November ballot that would require local governments to check a person’s immigration status before they could access public health care, housing assistance or employment programs.
    >> When an illness jumps from the illegals to the legals, will they wish they had included pubic health?

    The bill would require contract workers who are paid more than $600 a year to be cleared for employment through E-Verify, the system provided by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration, which Villalobos said would create “burdensome red tape for all involved as we experience labor shortages.”
    >> Good. Seems she is arguing that AZ business needs to be able to exploit illegals to be profitable.

    “But passing job-killing, anti-business bills that demonize our communities is not the solution. Instead of securing our border, these bills will simply raise costs, hurt our farmers, put Arizona entrepreneurs out of business and destroy jobs for countless working-class Arizonans.”
    >> Seems like a strong bill to give the conservatives what they want. If enacted, it would make AZ live without a lot of it’s illegal workers and find out if they need them or not.

Trump told us to inject bleach.

    Trump administration caused the largest amount of inflation by a singular action in the history of the US. They literally printed billions upon billions of dollars and gave it out to corporations with absolutely no oversight as to who got what. And then provided massive tax cuts to the rich at the same time.

When they lose in court — and they always lose — they’re ordered to pay the plaintiffs’ attorney fees. So in effect they’re cutting paychecks to the ACLU lawyers.

For the 1940 PCF-Brills, it was 3 cents per mile, but not more than 10% of value. It was $12000 per vehicle on that fleet, even adjusted for inflation, Metro can’t get a bus that cheap today. Adjusted for inflation, that is around $250,000. Even expected lifespann for vehicles has changed. It was assumed a lifespan of 10 Years and 400,000 miles, and Seattle Transit didn’t retire them until 1963. Now it’s a minimum of 12-15 years for a Diesel, the trolleybus lasts even longer, although they are too long lasting.

    But after months of behind-the-scenes preparation and production, the rollout didn’t go as planned, according to emails recently obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.
    …
    Days after the video’s release, Harris was at the center of firestorm after reports surfaced that the child actors appeared alongside the vice president in the video. Conservatives like Fox News host Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump Jr. mocked Harris’ performance and criticized her for appearing with actors.

    The controversy was noted by conservative publications as well as national news outlets like CNN and Newsweek. In Harris’ home state, the Los Angeles Times ran a story with the headline: “How Vice President Kamala Harris’ appearance on a kids’ YouTube special backfired.”

    It came at a difficult time for Harris, who was already facing scrutiny after a series of stories that summer detailed reports of staff dysfunction within her office.

    Her office had to hire actors so that the kids she was talking to wouldn’t be seen making natural facial expressions that would tell the world that the Vice President is full of shit.

    Even kids have to pretend that Kamala Harris is competent.

    So tell us more, The Even Bigger Fucking Moron, about some internet fakery that a private citizen somewhere engaged in, somehow.

    Meanwhile black voters continue to desert Biden for Trump. From The AP:

    Nationally, only 50% of Black adults said they approve of Biden in a December AP-NORC poll, down from 86% in July 2021. That shift represents a larger drop than among adults overall and white adults in particular.

    Maybe she could do to Trump what Nader did to Gore.

    Far more likely that black and Hispanic voters will do to Biden what working class white Democrats did to #CrookedHillary.

    But you keep ignoring facts on the ground so that you can engage in wishful thinking, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit.

    8-1 or 9-0, QoS McHillbilly?

    Will the Wise Latina prevent a complete shutout of libbie hopes and dreams?

    What was it you were predicting earlier? 7 votes?

    I’m gonna say that CO’s bare-majority supremes get the full skunking they deserve. 9-0. Concurrence by the glucose-starved degenerating brain of Wise Latina. Somogyi phenomena can do serious damage to the grey matter.

    SCOTUSblog comment du jour, so far:

    I’m wondering whether the opinion coming today will be by that most industrious, least ethically challenged member of the court, Justice Per Curiam.

  164. 164

    “All nine Members of the Court agree with that result.”

    Fuck you, CO supreme court majority. Buncha fuckin’ pussy Anna Diggs Taylors.

  165. 165

    RBG’s replacement:

    For present purposes, our differences are far less important than our unanimity: All nine Justices agree on the outcome of this case. That is the message Americans should take home.

  167. 167

    This is the CNN headline at present. I don’t think it will be there long.

    SCOTUS unanimously sides with Trump, rejects 14th Amendment case

    I didn’t interpret the decision this way. SCOTUS sided against stupidity.

  168. 168

    Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Brown Jackson side with Trump.

    Says CNN.

    157,
    I’m going to repeat that the extremiMAGA House Republican impeachment is dead procedurally and not just on optics.

    Brave Kevin moved ahead and personally authorized opening an impeachment inquiry and naming Farmer Jim to run it without a vote. He did it as a last ditch effort to save his speakership to placate crazed dipshits like Chip Roy, Lauren Boebert, and Matt Pedophilia. And he did it without a vote because he knew impeachment did not have enough support.

    The hope of the crazed dipshits at the time was that they could build support among squeamish Republicans over time by amplifying the false claims of Russian double agents Smirnov and Bobulinski. And eventually they could gain enough support among Republicans in the House to pass an authorization floor vote.

    But that support never materialized. And now that Republicans have been exposed by their own pet Special Prosecutor for having participated in a Russian disinformation operation that support never will materialize. So without that floor vote impeachment dies because without that floor vote Farmer Jim can not issue binding subpoenas on the Executive branch.

    Thank United States District Court Judge and battle hardened combat Marine Otis Dalino Wright, II for squeezing impeachment’s neck long enough to watch the light go out. Republicans working behind the scenes got a friendly magistrate in Nevada to cut Smirnov loose so he could escape custody and flee US jurisdiction. A furious Judge Wright immediately issued one of the most remarkable orders I’ve ever seen and basically instructed US Marshall’s to re-arrest Smirnov, ignore all other orders and jurisdictions, and deliver him to California to be held in PC until trial.

    Removing Smirnov and his impending trial or potential cooperation would have taken the pressure off Farmer Jim and his criminal co-conspirators. But with their Russian spy back in custody they can’t move forward any further. So the only optics here are finding the least humiliating way to terminate the impeachment inquiry. And with Smirnov in PC used as a political shield, Weiss is now beyond the control of ultra MAGA House Republicans to negotiate any agreements he likes with Hunter Biden.

    @ 160

    And he did it without a vote because he knew impeachment did not have enough support.

    And then there was a vote and the vote result supported the impeachment investigation.

    Which is the same sequence of events that Pelosi elected WRT the past and future president Trump.

    8-1 or 9-0, QoS McHillbilly?

    Threatening me with a good time again?

    I don’t know how many times I have to say this before this profoundly stupid trust fund troll will comprehend.

    I WANT TRUMP AS THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.
    I WANT TRUMP ON THE BALLOT.

    No other potential Republican nominee is as good for Democratic turnout. No other potential Republican nominee is as ruinous for Republican campaign funding. No other potential Republican nominee is as certain to destroy the GOP.

  173. 173

    @ 172

    Still legally binding

    It’s a memo from the president’s attorney. “Legally binding”? Really, QoS McHillbilly?

    How about a memo from the president’s attorney claiming something is not illegal if the president does it? Legally binding?

  175. 175

    Don’t get me wrong.

    While I quietly applaud the court unanimously upholding federal supremacy in determining ballot access in federal elections, and of course love💕 Trump on the ballot all year in every state, I certainly don’t mind if the court ruling also helps move the needle in favor of court expansion.

    A nation sick and tired of Cheeto Jesus and taking it out on SCOTUS is just fine.

  176. 176

    Soooo
    States can apply the amendment to state offices. Congress has to apply it to federal offices.

    Given the fuckery that red states have wanted to do to Biden in retaliation, this puts the brakes on that.

    Colorado: we want to remove the loser rapist because he tried to overthrow the Democracy
    red states: ok we pull President Biden because he’s a Democrat.

    @ 174

    The OLC is not “the president’s attorney”.

    Not technically speaking, although the political appointee of the president’s political appointee to the office of AG runs it. The distinction is miniscule.

    About the Office
    By delegation from the Attorney General, the Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Office of Legal Counsel provides legal advice to the President and all executive branch agencies.

    John Yoo is one former OLC head. Are Yoo’s so-called torture memos “legally binding”, QoS McHillbilly?

  179. 179

    @160 Yeah, and faking election fraud is no BFD, either. (sarcasm)

    For the Doctor Dumbfucks of the world, lying is perfectly okay. I wonder if he did that on patients’ charts, too? That might explain his exile on an island.

  181. 181

    @169 “I’m going to repeat that the extremiMAGA House Republican impeachment is dead procedurally and not just on optics.”

    You and I know that, but tell that to the bimbo who said only its “optics” are bad.

  182. 182

    @170 The difference between these two impeachment proceedings is that the facts support impeachment in one and don’t support impeachment in the other.

    Can you guess which one? The rest of us can.

  183. 183

    @177 “Not technically speaking”

    In this case, “not” and “not technically speaking” are the same thing.
