    #CrookedHillary wants a floor nomination.

    Biden least popular president in modern history at this point in office: Polls

    With an average disapproval rating of 55.8% and an approval rating of 37.7%, according to poll website FiveThirtyEight on Saturday, Biden is more unpopular than any other modern commander-in-chief 1,054 days into their presidency.

    His approval rating may be even lower, as a TIPP Insights survey earlier this month showed his approval rating at 33%, an all-time low for Biden at the polling firm. That poll of 1,464 adults was conducted Nov. 29–Dec. 1 and had a 2.6% margin of error.

    Meanwhile, more people disapprove of Biden at this point in his presidency than all other modern presidents dating back to Harry S. Truman, per FiveThirtyEight.

    Meanwhile, Momala wants someone new and exciting to hide behind, and wants DEI to just make her president without having to face the voters.

    Momala also wants Claudine Gay to be forgotten as soon as possible.

    Biden least popular president in modern history at this point in office:

    Sure is a great thing Republicans have chosen to run the convicted rapist felon Trump.

    Kinda makes you wonder why Republicans do shit like that.

    Special counsel goes directly to Supreme Court to resolve whether Trump has immunity from prosecution

    What could go wrong?

    Special counsel goes directly to Supreme Court to resolve whether Trump has immunity from prosecution

    Because rapist Trump’s argument that he faces “double jeopardy” is a novel argument, but also frivolous one and unworthy of further consideration. I would expect the court to eagerly grant cert and rule.

    Trump’s argument that he has absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct while in office is non-frivolous and worthy of full consideration. But since Trump’s non-frivolous argument that he enjoys absolute immunity from prosecution for acts while in office is predicated on his novel, yet frivolous argument that he can only be prosecuted following an impeachment conviction in the Senate, the court will have to give him the legal ass fucking that he so richly deserves.

    Appeals in advance of a criminal trial are rare and limited. Questions of immunity from prosecution are among the rare instances. So rare in fact are such instances that only a couple of circuits have ever had to devise remedies around these kinds of questions of official immunity, and the DC circuit has not been among those.

    The district court correctly rejected Trump’s non-frivolous prior claim, consistent with binding precedent concerning similar claims of absolute immunity arising from acts in office, by distinguishing between official acts and all other acts. The district court correctly concluded that defrauding the United States government in violation of 18 U.S.C. 371 not within the constitutionally defined authorites of a president.

    In the circuit procedures if a claim of immunity is not deemed frivolous, then the appellate court gets first bite of the apple, thus respecting the appellants right to due process. But if the claim is deemed frivolous then an expedited final review is appropriate to the prevailing interests of justice.

    So in this case the Supreme Court would normally be expected to reject cert only if they disagreed with the district court’s conclusion that attempts to defraud the United States in violation of18 U.S.C. 371 was not included in offical acts – the non-frivolous claim. But if the Supreme Court agrees with the district, and similarly concludes that the novel claim about double jeopardy is frivolous, then expedited final review is appropriate under the procedures and cert would be granted in order to issue a ruling concurring with the lower court on the non-frivolous claim, and thus allowing the trial to move forward unimpeded.

    In other words, get ready for The Pain.

    Of considerable note, and since Smith included the citation in his application:

    The SCOTUS did not defer to the circuit in US v. Nixon, also concluding that Nixon’s claim to “”absolute, unqualified Presidential privilege of immunity from judicial process under all circumstances.”” was essentially frivolous in nature, and that a prolonged process adjudicating such a claim would thwart the interests of justice.

    Of course this now widely discredited and manifestly corrupt Roberts court could, and may decide to defer to the circuit to settle Trump’s claim of “double jeopardy”. But in doing so it would be granting legal authority to that claim and to all such subsequent claims based on a similar interpretation of the impeachment clause – right before the ultra MAGA House Republicans begin to carry out impeachment of President Joe Biden.

    THEY CLAIMED THAT MAR-A-LAGO WAS WORTH ONLY $18,000,000
    No, they proved that the private Florida sex club was worth only 18 million using math and accounting.
    , WHEN IT IS WORTH 50 TO 100 TIMES THAT AMOUNT, IN ORDER TO ILLEGALLY REDUCE MY VALUES
    It’s legal, because it’s happening in a public court in front of a judge as opposed to the imaginary values that you and your kids dream up to fuck over lenders and tax collectors.
    & MAKE A FAKE CASE AGAINST ME. THEY DID THIS ON OTHER PROPERTIES, AS WELL, & WOULDN’T GIVE ME A JURY.
    You declined a jury, even after the nice judge reminded you.
    LIKEWISE, THE A.G. THUGS DO NOT WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE PAID ALMOST 300 MILLION DOLLARS IN NEW YORK CITY & STATE TAXES DURING THE YEARS IN QUESTION.
    You owed lots more. The court already ruled on that and you lost. IMPORTANTLY, I WON AT THE APPELLATE DIVISION,
    You fucking lost, you loser. You always lose.
    WHICH EFFECTIVELY ENDED MOST OF THE CASE, BUT THE BIASED JUDGE REFUSED TO ACCEPT THEIR ORDER,
    There is no such order. He’s fucking lost his mind. This is awesome!
    AN UNHEARD OF FIRST! BASED ON THE ABOVE
    Which he just made up by squeezing really hard and pulling it out of his ass
    , AND THE FACT THAT OUR UNASSAILABLE FINAL EXPERT WITNESS HAS BEEN SO STRONG AND IRREFUTABLE IN HIS TESTIMONY, WHICH WILL CONCLUDE ON TUESDAY,
    Promises. This same cock-bag promised he would testify.
    & THAT I HAVE ALREADY TESTIFIED TO EVERYTHING & HAVE NOTHING MORE TO SAY
    Nothing that wouldn’t send him straight to jail.
    OTHER THAN THAT THIS IS A COMPLETE & TOTAL ELECTION INTERFERENCE (BIDEN CAMPAIGN!)
    Biden hasn’t even mentioned it.
    WITCH HUNT
    Guess who the witch is!
    , THAT WILL DO NOTHING BUT KEEP BUSINESSES OUT OF NEW YORK
    It is guaranteed to keep Trump’s business out of NY. Ha ha.
    , I WILL NOT BE TESTIFYING ON MONDAY. MAGA!
    Because too scared and too completely emotionally unhinged.

    Should America give this guy another nuclear trigger?

    9,
    Ultra-MAGA House Republicans will do whatever Trump and their Trump addled base demand. But they won’t be able to apply any recognizable standard of proof. Everything Devon Archer claims is equally refuted and dismissed by contemporaneous eyewitnesses. And so it goes every step of the way.

    The purpose in all this is not to accomplish anything in terms of legal or constitutional process.

    Rather it is to introduce an idea among Republicans who need a reason to give in to the inevitability of Trump, despite the very strong potential for him to be a convicted felon by the time those Republicans are called upon to vote for him once again. Biden has to somehow be made to seem like he is “getting off” to provide those ethically degenerate Republicans a good enough reason to go ahead and vote for a rapist again.

    • his son wasn’t taking money from China
    • he didn’t have anything to do with his son’s business
    • the number of grandchildren he has is six

    Looking forward to his defense witness testimony.

    Who’s?

    Hunter Biden may never go to trial given the misconduct that continues to cloud this indictment. And if he does he won’t be called to the stand. This is a profoundly stupid comment.

    Artful language and teevee posturing notwithstanding, the ultra-MAGA Republican House is not a court of law. Cow Farmer Jim is not a criminal prosecutor. And the President of the United States is constitutionally independent of that stupid Republican shit show. Ultra-MAGA House Republicans have absolutely zero authority to compel a President to do anything. First rule of power struggles is don’t get into a power struggle with anyone who has more power. This too is a profoundly stupid comment.

    Why is this troll bent on this daily ritual of self-humiliation for the sake of Trump?

    That second Biden term is really going to sting bad

    The double-jeopardy argument is the stupidest legal argument I’ve ever heard of. Impeachment is not a criminal proceeding. Congress is not a court. His “acquittal” by the Senate is not equivalent to a court acquittal or dismissal of charges. His lawyers are idiots.

    Texas Supreme Court to every female voter in the state.

    “We totally don’t care about your potential loss of life if there is a fetus that can’t be saved either.”

    Nah, that isn’t going to be an issue in 2024. It’s all done. Dobbs is OVER. Get used to it sluts!

    @18 The Texas Supreme Court ruled today that only dead women can get abortions in Texas. All nine justices concurred in the ruling. All nine are Republicans, white, and six are men.

    The ruling appears to say Texas courts can’t decide whether an abortion falls within the statutory exception, only a doctor can decide that, and then take his chances with the courts when the state prosecutes him for murder.

    It’s the Texas Catch-22.

    After today’s ruling, Texas doctors will not perform abortions. Ever. Period. Even if the patient dies. Which is what Ken Paxton, the Texas legislature, and the Texas Supreme Court want.

    Elon Musk, an expert on the subject of popularity decline, just warned Taylor Swift about popularity decline, after she was named as Time’s Person of the Year (which Elon previously received). Posting on “X” (of course), he said, “Some risk of popularity decline after this award. I speak from experience lol.”

    But Taylor Swift is not Elon Musk. She is not unstable, erratic, and mentally ill. She’ll be fine. He won’t be.

    “I went onto that [debate] stage just a few days later, and a general, who’s a fantastic general, actually said to me, ‘Sir, I’ve been on the battlefield, men have gone down on my left and on my right, I stood on hills where soldiers were killed, but I believe the bravest thing I’ve ever seen was the night you went onto that stage with Hillary Clinton after what happened, and then that woman asked you the first question about it, and [you] said ‘locker room talk.’”

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: Real generals don’t stand on hills where soldiers are being killed. MacArthur ran the Korean War from Japan. Westmoreland ran the Vietnam War from an air-conditioned office near Saigon. The colonel directing the Hamburger Hill battle was overhead in a helicopter.

    The guy Trump’s talking about must have been a Private E-2, very fresh from the in-country processing center and still clutching his assignment orders, because everyone else has enough sense to not stand up on a hill.

    Geez, you’d think Trump would’ve learned that in the military school his parents sent him to, unless he was asleep in class.

    RED ALERT: Buried in the House intelligence committee’s Section 702 “reform” bill, which is schedule[d] for a floor vote as soon as tomorrow, is the biggest expansion of surveillance inside the United States since the Patriot Act.
    Through a seemingly innocuous change to the definition of “electronic service communications provider,” the bill vastly expands the universe of U.S. businesses that can be conscripted to aid the government in conducting surveillance.
    Under current law, the government can compel companies that have direct access to communications, such as phone, email, and text messaging service providers, to assist in Section 702 surveillance by turning over the communications of Section 702 targets.
    Under Section 504 of the House intelligence committee’s bill, any entity that has access to *equipment* on which communications may be transmitted or stored, such as an ordinary router, is fair game. What does that mean in practice? It’s simple…
    Hotels, libraries, coffee shops, and other places that offer wifi to their customers could be forced to serve as surrogate spies. They could be required to configure their systems to ensure that they can provide the government access to entire streams of communications.

    It’s no longer possible to practice medicine in Texas. If a doctor performs an abortion he believes is necessary to save the mother’s life, he risks being second-guessed by prosecutors and judges with no medical training and sent to prison for life. If he refuses to perform the abortion and the patient dies, he risks being prosecuted and sued for medical neglect. There is no middle ground where he is legally safe. The only safe space for the doctor is another state. Soon there will be no doctors or female Republican voters in Texas.

    CAMPUS
    ‘This is Definitely Plagiarism’: Harvard University President Claudine Gay Copied Entire Paragraphs From Others’ Academic Work and Claimed Them as Her Own

    The four papers that include plagiarized material comprise a sizable portion of Gay’s academic work. Gay, who is Harvard’s 30th president, has authored just 11 peer-reviewed articles.

    “If this were a stand-alone instance, it would be reprehensible but perhaps excused as the blunder of someone working hastily,” said Peter Wood, a former associate provost of Boston University, where he helped investigate several cases of suspected plagiarism. “But that excuse vanishes as the examples multiply,” said Wood, who now serves as the director of the National Association of Scholars.

    An enterprising individual could author that many during a five-year residency.

    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/giuliani-election-georgia-trial_n_65782dd7e4b0881b79186605

    Giuliani is also being sued for $1.36 million in unpaid legal bills. So what if the jury awards the election workers $47 million? You know what? After the first 6 feet, it doesn’t matter how deep the water is. After the first 50 feet or so, it doesn’t matter how high the cliff is. Giuliani is financially dead. But he won’t starve; he’ll get Social Security, maybe a NYC pension, and he could supplement that income by working in fast food, where there are plenty of job openings. He’s going to be fine. He has no worries. Nobody can ever come after him for money again, because he’ll never have any. Anybody wanting money from him in the future will have to go to the back of the line of his judgment creditors.

    So remember all the breathless news coverage because a few actual smash and grab retail thefts were caught on security cameras and distributed by a PR firm to the media?

    Remember how Big Box Retailers sent their spokespeople out to talk about the 100 billion dollars lost to ‘organized retail crime rings?’

    Yeah that was bullshit.

    The National Retailers association just put out their annual shrinkage report stating that $117b total was lost. The problem is only 37% is attributed to theft with the remainder being breakage in stores, spoilage and returns of damaged product that then can’t be resold. So roughly $430m of merchandise is lost to theft.

    But wait, there’s more. Internal theft, that is employees helping themselves to a snack and maybe a big ticket item when the opportunity arises accounts for about 26% of all theft.

    So we’re down to about $318m in shoplifting total. Across the entire industry in the United States. Now you don’t have to be a genius to know that a teenager lifting a sweater from Forever XXI or the Winona Ryders of the world are accounting for at least a great majority of the items that walk out of stores unpaid.

    The same industry trade group states total sales of over $5T so far in 2023.

    “Help us! We’re drowning in increased profit over 2021, 22, 23. We must shrink our workforce to stay competitive. First to go..LOSS PREVENTION! We installed cameras. That will do.”
