Monday Open Thread

by — ,

You should have received your ballot for the Presidential primary. Get it postmarked or dropped off by March 12.

I know, who cares? Barring something strange, Biden and Trump are going to be the nominees. But still, you can register your support, or your opposition. You can write in “Bumface” if you want to register your displeasure with one bored poll worker.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

    The most stupid thing written over the weekend:

    Let’s suppose, for a moment, the Democrats retain the Senate, retake the House, Biden wins re-election by a wide margin (say, 55%-45%), and Republican MAGA candidates lose get slaughtered in down ballot races across the country.

    The surprise is that it wasn’t written by The Even Bigger Fucking Moron.

    @1 Did I say that will happen? No. That it might happen? Not even that. Look up “Let’s suppose” when you’re not too busy fucking the horse. And if you still can’t figure out what it means, have an English teacher explain it to you. (Spoiler alert: “Let’s suppose” establishes an assumed premise solely for the purposes of the thought experiment that follows.) You truly are an illiterate idiot.

    Bidenflation touches all.

    John Saltarelli, a LegalShield provider attorney from Texas, identified three primary factors contributing to the surge in inquiries regarding bankruptcies, repossessions, and billing disputes.

    Credit card defaults, intensified collection efforts, and the impact of inflation.

    “Consumers we talk to only have enough money to cover some of their bills, so they prioritize a roof over their head ahead over other expenses, racking up high-interest credit cards,” Saltarelli said in a statement. “Collectors are turning up the heat after the pandemic, and increasing inflation makes what money people do have, worth less.”

    Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit’s investing history makes what his family does have, worth less.

    Last year saw 434,064 non-business bankruptcy filings, an increase of 59,824 from the previous year, according to U.S. Court data. The rise in bankruptcies, coupled with the economic pressures of inflation and the cessation of pandemic relief measures, points to the financial challenges facing Americans today.

    In 1940, as Hitler’s troops rolled across Europe, a growing chorus of Republicans argued against sending American weapons to Britain.

    In 1942, after Pearl Harbor’s invasion by a hostile enemy a Democrat president issued an executive order to forcibly incarcerate American citizens of Japanese and Italian descent, among others who do not look like the majority of us. This order remained in effect until it was reversed by an executive order issued by a Republican president.

    @6 In one flying leap, Doctor Dumbfuck turns “Free Palestine” into “hating Jews.”

    Honestly, doc, I think most Palestinians only resent the Israelis for stealing their land, bulldozing their homes, bombing their schools and hospitals, starving them, and kidnapping their children.

    All of which you approve of, although being the impatient sort you are, you prefer FINISH THEM! to slow genocide.

    @11 Nothing new. In 2004, Republican operatives targeted black soldiers serving overseas for disenfranchisement:

    https://www.gregpalast.com/massacre-of-the-buffalo-soldiers/

    The Republican National Committee has a special offer for African-American soldiers: Go to Baghdad, lose your vote.

    A confidential campaign directed by GOP party chiefs in October 2004 sought to challenge the ballots of tens of thousands of … residents of Black-majority precincts.

    Files from the secret vote-blocking campaign were obtained by BBC Television Newsnight, London. They were attached to emails accidentally sent by Republican operatives to a non-party website.

    One group of voters wrongly identified by the Republicans as registering to vote from false addresses: servicemen and women sent overseas.

    Here’s how the scheme worked: The RNC mailed these voters letters in envelopes marked, “Do not forward”, to be returned to the sender. These letters were mailed to servicemen and women, some stationed overseas, to their US home addresses. The letters then returned to the Bush-Cheney campaign as “undeliverable.”

    The lists of soldiers of “undeliverable” letters were transmitted from state headquarters, in this case Florida, to the RNC in Washington. The party could then challenge the voters registration and thereby prevent their absentee ballots being counted. …

    The Republican National Committee in Washington refused our several requests to respond to the BBC discovery. However, in Tallahassee, the Florida Bush campaign’s spokespeople offered several explanations for the list.

    Joseph Agostini, speaking for the GOP, suggested the lists were of potential donors to the Bush campaign. Oddly, the supposed donor list included residents of the Sulzbacher Center a shelter for homeless families.

    Another spokesperson for the Bush campaign, Mindy Tucker Fletcher, ultimately changed the official response, acknowledging that these were voters, “we mailed to, where the letter came back – bad addresses.” The party has refused to say why it would mark soldiers as having “bad addresses” subject to challenge when they had been assigned abroad. …

    Setting up such a challenge list would be a crime under federal law. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 outlaws mass challenges of voters where race is a factor in choosing the targeted group. …

    Soldiers sending in their ballot from abroad would not know their vote was lost because of a challenge.

    Republicans don’t support our troops; they attack their basic rights.

    What Kenneth Chesebro told investigators:

    They wanted to do unconditional alternate electors, lobby the states legislatures, and then pressure Pence to back that. And ultimately where I came down was, I wanted conditional language in all the states that I suggested three times to Trump campaign on December 12th that they make it conditional on winning litigation.

    ”

    What Kenneth Chesebro posted on his secret social media account under an assumed name:

    You don’t have to get the big picture. Trump doesn’t have to get the courts to declare him the winner of the vote. He just needs to convince Republican legislatures that the election was systematically rigged, but it’s impossible to run it again, so they should appoint electors instead.

    They’re based on Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit’s bloviations. And you’re right, he’s so consistently wrong in his investing decisions that it is fun to make money off of his inanity.

    Example: Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit buys shares of GNRC at $98. The winning trade is one of two things:

    1. Sell a naked put at $80 strike price or below. Gives you the margin of a 20% loss, which is usually what happens to Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit, before your trade risks losing money.

    2. After Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit buys in at $98, wait for the predictable decline in share value of at least 15% before coming in and purchasing shares yourself.

    Nearly eight years ago I began this investment strategy, which I have coined The Notadumbfuck Method.

    Profiting off of the pain of the Dumbfuck Rabbit family and having fun in the process is a winning twofer.

    The desperation:

    Previous thread the asshole who calls himself I looked it up blamed the Georgia nursing student’s murder on the GOP:

    House and Senate Republicans should not be blocking border security funding.

    But since they are they committed that murder.

    I know. What an asshole.

    The reality:

    CAMPAIGN
    Voters see border as Biden’s biggest failure: Poll

    Voters view President Biden’s handling of the situation at the U.S. southern border as his administration’s biggest failure, according to a new poll.

    The Harvard CAPS-Harris poll shared with The Hill showed 44 percent of respondents said allowing the influx of migrants that have come across the border has been Biden’s biggest failure.

    Maybe it’s because the senseless murders of future health care providers by illegals are viewed by the country as something other than an opportunity to blame the opposition party for the failures of the president:

    Immigration was listed as the top issue facing the country in the poll, with 36 percent saying so.

    There’s no reason Biden should care, of course. He won’t be the DNC nominee and he’s already sold out the nation for all the money The Biden Crime Family will need.

  37. 37

    And then there’s this poll by CBS News, released in January. 2,153 US adults, so not a small sample:

    Respondents were asked whether they approved or disapproved of Biden’s handling of four different subject areas: “the economy”; “inflation”; “the situation with Russia and Ukraine”; and “immigration”.

    Biden is 28 points in the red on the economy (36 percent approve vs. 64 percent disapprove), 34 percent down on inflation (33 percent approve and 67 percent disapprove), and 18 points behind on the conflict between Putin and Zelenskyy (41 percent approve compared to 59 percent who disapprove).

    Then, there’s immigration, a subject in which Biden is down by 40 points, with 30 percent of respondents approving of his handling of the issue compared to 70 percent who disapprove.

    That’s a four-point swing in the wrong direction for Biden on this issue since CBS News and YouGov last asked about it in November, but more saliently a 12-point tumble for Biden’s overall immigration performance since their May poll (when 36 percent approved of the job Biden was doing at the border compared to 64 percent who disapproved), conducted days after the end of Title 42.

    Small wonder, isn’t it, that the weakest liberals @ 36 are the ones most desperate to blame Biden’s performance on anybody other than Biden.

    My corrupt, incompetent, senile fossil of a president? He doesn’t give a shit.

    Your move, QoS McHillbilly:

    A judge has determined that Nathan Wade’s former law partner and divorce lawyer must tell the court what he knows about the special prosecutor’s relationship with District Attorney Fani Willis – a decision that could produce more bombshell testimony as defense attorneys seek to disqualify the DA from prosecuting the Fulton County election interference case.

    Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee’s chambers notified attorneys in the case by email late Monday that certain communications Terrence Bradley had with Wade are not protected by attorney-client privilege, according to numerous people who read the email. Bradley could be compelled to testify as soon as Tuesday afternoon. McAfee’s decision followed a closed-door meeting between the judge and Bradley on Monday that lasted nearly an hour and 20 minutes.

    I bet Wade sent pics. Hey, if Weiner was stupid enough to do it, why not Wade?

    Heidi Heitkamp isn’t just a lawyer, she was North Dakota’s attorney general for 8 years, then a U.S. senator. She knows what defamation is.

    Scads of reputable MSM news outlets might report that his lawyers are threatening to sue her as a purely political story. But it’s a much better story, and far more newsworthy, if they too have reason to think there’s something to the juicy scandal part of it.

    Rosendale has filed to run for re-election to his House seat. His wife of 39 years hasn’t left him. He’s still the head of his local Catholic parish council. He’s admitting nothing so far. We don’t know the woman’s name yet. A lawsuit hasn’t been filed yet. This is a developing story.

    We often say Republicans have no ideas, let alone any good ideas. This one time, Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) may be an exception. A doctor, he wants to keep food stamps from being used to buy soda, candy, and junk food. I’m 100% with him on that, and I hope Democrats adopt this idea.

    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/snap-dietary-restrictions-government-shutdown_n_65dceef4e4b0189a6a7eeea2

    But he sucks otherwise. During the pandemic, he opposed masks and restrictions on gatherings; as a doctor, he prescribed ivermectin for his patients. Politically, he’s even worse: “Harris defended Trump’s efforts to overturn the election[,] falsely claimed there were ‘large-scale voting irregularities’ and ‘secret, unobserved vote counting in the swing states’, and called on Attorney General William Barr to investigate ‘these crimes’.” He was actively involved in efforts to overturn the election, and called the Capitol riot a nonviolent protest. A few days later, he was caught trying to sneak a gun onto the House floor. On policy, he’s hardcore anti-choice, anti-LGBQT, voting against impeaching Trump and for impeaching Biden, called the Capitol riot a nonviolent protest, and has praised Hungarian dictator Viktor Orban. Right or wrong about food stamps, he needs to go.

Convincing these folks to vote for Donald Trump in the general may be an uphill climb, especially John, if there’s a conviction.”

    That’s Harry Enten on TV here. Data points like this got me toying with the idea of a 55%-45% Biden win.

    However, Conservative voters are terrified of change, competition and loss of inherited privilege. They vote for politicians to promise to stifle ESG, DEI and immigration so the politicians to stay in power.

    You are confusing poll results with election results. Perhaps I should have been more explicit.

    Trump’s election results have significantly underperformed his pre-ballot polling numbers in each of the state Republican party primaries held so far.

    I make the a priori assumption that in electoral politics the only measure of performance is ballot results. Trump appears to hold a different opinion.

    Once again, currently, as Michigan primary voters head to the polls, Trump leads Haley by more than 56 percentage points in that state.

    71 – Oh, I see: the same stuff you allege Trump did?

    Trump lost at the ballot box. 91 different Republican courts, judges, and juries heard all his claims, examined all the evidence, and concluded he was lying. Again.
    The major cable and streaming news networks who amplified and repeated those lies have all been forced to admit they they were lies and that they knew they were lies. Tucker Carlson and dozens of other fake propagandists were fired for cause or forced to resign. Thousands of rioters were arrested and charged. Hundreds are in prison. Trump is about to go to trial facing decades of prison time.

    Also, since you might have missed it, all the “Biden corruption” claims were also lies supplied to Republican lawmakers by Russian spies.

    You really should be ashamed.
    But we all now realize you aren’t capable.

    Monmouth Polling show 6/10 see illegal immigration as major problem and support building a wall
    We had bipartisan legislation to deal with illegal immigration and the republicans rejected it so they could appease trump the Rapist.

    If you are upset by illegal immigration, blame republicans. Democrats tried to do something about it.

    Also, put everyone, and mean everyone who hires an illegal for anything, in jail and many will stop coming if they can’t get work. The farm economy would crash but maybe the scared people will take up the slack in the fields and meat packing plants.

    @ 81

    Monmouth Polling show 6/10 see illegal immigration as major problem and support building a wall

    And yet, on his first fucking day in office:

    In the first hours of his presidency two weeks ago, Biden acted to halt construction of Trump’s $16 billion wall along the border …
    …
    Trump led repair and expansion of a border wall and imposed tough detention and deportation policies for those who made it across the desolate border terrain and into the United States.

    What Trump did was working, and Biden fucked it up. We fucking told you so at the time, The Even Bigger Fucking Moron:

    By contrast, backers of the previous administration’s border initiatives said Biden’s orders will lead to chaos and lawlessness.

    “By resuming the pre-pandemic pace of visas, abandoning common-sense asylum policies, and increasing the burden on our strained social safety net, these orders will advance a dangerous open-borders policy, take away jobs from Americans struggling to find employment, and kneecap America’s economic recovery from lockdowns,” Jessica Anderson, director of the political advocacy arm of Washington-based Heritage Foundation, said in a statement.

    This isn’t from Fox. It’s from Voice of America.

    For the second day Jordan defied the Israeli Blockade and airlifted aid into Gaza today.

    You know it wasn’t delivered by air into Gaza, don’t you? It crossed into Gaza via Egypt at the Rafah checkpoint.

    The planes were sent in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates and in cooperation with the Jordanian Armed Forces -Arab Army, to deliver their cargo through the Rafah Border Crossing in Egypt.

    Meaning Egypt had the opportunity to inspect the cargo before allowing it through. Egypt hates Hamas. I doubt Israel lost much sleep over this.

    My “move” with Bradley scheduled to begin supplemental testimony shortly what I anticipate:

    – Bradley’s testimony will not be as direct, as irrefutable, nor as contradictory as Trump’s defenders have hoped and prayed, nor nearly as probitive as his attorneys have claimed in sworn filings to the court.

    – Having previously opened the door, Fulton County will further explore the witness’s credibility by interrogating the history of criminal sexual assaults Bradley is accused of having committed prior to his termination from the firm and his potential for personal animus directed toward his former law partner, as well as his history of lying, evasion, and misrepresentation to the court.

    – Bradley’s testimony will be granted very little credibility by the judge.

    – Evidence of any relationship between Willis and Wade prior to his appointment in November of 2021 beyond that already described to the court will have little weight in any decision regarding the defense motion to disqualify.

    Another source states that air drops occurred. On the coast along the Gaza strip:

    Monday’s operation “aimed at delivering aid to the population directly and drop it along the coast of the Gaza Strip from north to south,” the Jordanian army statement said.

    From this sentence:

    The cargo floated down on parachutes from the transport aircraft, including over the southern Gaza Strip where around 1.4 million Gazans have converged.

    it seems as if a fair amount of cargo landed in the Mediterranean Sea. Hey, Five Second Rule. It’s still edible.

    @67 “So, what are you going to do if Trump gets re-elected?”

    We will hate it, but we will respect voters’ right to choose who they want, and accept the election results. We won’t propagate a Big Lie about “election fraud” that didn’t happen, violently take over the Capitol, submit fake electors, or try to block certification on the House or Senate floor. We won’t attempt to seize voting machines or make death threats against election workers.

    There may be some peaceful street protests, in which case a re-elected President Trump has suggested he would invoke the Insurrection Act and hinted he would deploy the military and order him to gun down the protesters, like they do in places like Myanmar.

    Trump has also suggested that, if he returns to power, he will “go after” political opponents with a politicized DoJ. There, he may run into a wall of grand juries that refuse to indict, prosecutors who refuse to prosecute, judges who dismiss baseless charges, and juries of ordinary citizens who refuse to convict.

    He’s also suggested he will set aside provisions of the Constitution that hinder what he wants to do. That will test our courts, and it’s possible SCOTUS may not be up to the challenge, but it’s also possible he might be reducing to railing against judges and making veiled threats against them hoping his fanatical supporters will take them out.

    It’s likely both that Democrats will retake the House, and a near-certainty that a re-elected President Trump will engage in further, and probably even more egregious, abuses of power; with the result that he will incur historic third, fourth, and possibly more impeachments — maybe even one or more a month — which will continue to die in the Senate until even his own party tires of him (which it eventually will).

    Far more likely, though, is the probability that as his already-rapid mental and verbal decline continues, he will become a babbling idiot whom his own cabinet declares incapacitated, with the result whoever he chooses as his next vice president will become the acting president. What will we do in that event? We’ll sit back and quietly watch, and wait for the next election.

    I’ll gladly credit my corrupt, incompetent, senile fossil of a president for this fact, which was unmentioned @ 81 by The Even Bigger Fucking Moron:

    Public concern about illegal immigration is higher during President Joe Biden’s term than it was under the prior two administrations, according to the latest national Monmouth University Poll. A majority of Americans support building a border wall for the first time since Monmouth started asking this question in 2015. Nearly half say the bipartisan border deal that was blocked in the U.S. Senate earlier this month is not tough enough on illegal immigration.

    Other poll facts that The Even Bigger Fucking Moron left out are that 41% of Democrats see the illegal immigration issue as a very serious problem. In 2019 only 26% of Democrats felt that way. Nice goin’, Joe.

    The same illegals who will callously and viciously murder Queen YLB’s kids a few years from now are the ones who will put Donald Trump back in office come November.

    @70 “If trump the Rapist is legitimately elected, then accept that a majority of Americans want a dictatorship and this country is over and prepare to suffer.”

    That simply won’t happen. There is no scenario under which a majority of Americans will vote for Trump. All we’re talking about is whether an electoral system designed to preserve slavery enables him to overcome the popular will again. In which case the Framers, who intended to preserve slavery, unwittingly paved the path to dictatorship, made possible by the subservience of a political party.

    It’s not correct to say the Framers didn’t foresee political parties, or the chaos and perfidy that could be wrought by groveling party loyalists. They didn’t want parties, or acknowledge them in the Constitution, but were aware parties could arise (as they very quickly did), but they did provide for managing factions by building checks and balances into the Constitution. What they failed to do is consider that a party might undermine or neutralize those guardrails in service to a dictator who demanded personal loyalty from his followers and unquestioning obedience to his orders.

    The Framers did know what they were creating was fragile. After all, when one of the key leaders of the Constitutional Convention was asked what it was, he replied, “A republic, if you can keep it.” He’d probably be surprised it has lasted this long. I don’t think he’d be surprised at all that eventually a Trump would come along, determined to rule in the manner of a king according to his own whims, and the people (or the majority, at least) be damned. As Doctor Dumbfuck loves to crow, the majority of the people don’t get to choose the president; that’s a privilege reserved to the underpopulated and unpopular states.

    The actual meaning and interpretation is that it “would prevent local governments from reappointing black state lawmakers expelled due to behavior,” but they don’t expel white lawmakers, so they can obfuscate their real intentions by omitting the adjective “black” secure in the knowledge this provision will never be used against their own race.

    – We’re not flooding public officials’ inboxes with death threats
    – We’re not throwing tantrums on the House floor or catcalling during SOU addresses
    – We’re not shutting down the government
    – We’re not plotting to overthrow the government
    – We’re not burning books or threatening teachers and librarians
    – We’re not banning black history from classrooms
    – We’re not interfering with reproductive health or going after children because of their nonconforming gender identity
    – We’re not trying to force private social media companies to post lies, hate speech, and racist comments

    There’s lots more, that’s a very partial list, but to say liberals are no better than the MAGA crowd falls into the “Super Whopper Lie” category.

    @81 Americans spend a smaller proportion of their income on food than anyone else on earth. We owe that to the cheap farm labor provided by illegal immigrants. If you think food inflation is bad now, just wait until the border is closed. The fentanyl and cocaine will still come in,* the cheap labor will not and America’s labor shortage will become ever more acute. Not only will food become scarcer and more expensive,** but you’ll also have trouble getting yardwork done, car repairs, or a new roof for your house due to the lack of immigrant laborers already performing much of this work.

    * 90% of drugs come through ports of entry, much of it smuggled by couriers or “mules” who are U.S. citizens

    @82 “In the first hours of his presidency two weeks ago, Biden acted to halt construction of Trump’s $16 billion ineffective wall along the border …”

    The fragments of border wall built during the Trump administration were physically breached more than 3,000 times between 2019 and 2021 … Customs and Border Protection spent $2.6 million to repair 3,272 such breaches in that time period.

    The Trump administration … chose a design with … 30-foot-tall steel bollards cemented into the ground …. Upon completion of the first segments, videos quickly surfaced of smuggling groups using common power tools to cut the bollards ….

    https://thehill.com/latino/596624-trump-border-wall-breached-thousands-of-times-by-smugglers-report/

    If Trump had served in the military, he would have learned in basic training that physical obstacles such as trenches, tank traps, barbed wire, and minefields only slow an enemy advance down, and can’t stop it; their purpose is to buy time to man the defenses. Since you haven’t learned this lesson either, we can assume you never were in the military (like I was).

    Stopping or stemming the migrant flow requires boots on the ground — lots of them. Which means you have to fund, and then find within the labor force and recruit, and train the needed personnel. So far the GOP is flunking the very first of these tests, the funding part.

    Americans spend a smaller proportion of their income on food than anyone else on earth. We owe that to the cheap farm labor provided by illegal immigrants.

    No, we don’t, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit. We owe it to technology and engineering.

    Did you know that total farm production nearly tripled between 1948 and 2017? Even as land and labor used in farming declined, innovations in animal and crop genetics, chemicals, equipment and farm organization have enabled continuing growth in farm output.

    The above is from the USDA. If you click on the link and view the graph at the top of the web page, you’ll see that for the same amount of output we’re using only about 0ne-fourth as much labor as we did 75 years ago.

    You’re wrong, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit. You’re always wrong.

    From 1948 to 2017, TFP increased at an annual rate of 1.47%. This growth was made possible by a surge in total output at a growth rate of 1.53% per year while holding total inputs nearly constant; inputs increased at just 0.07% per year, even after accounting for changes in their quality. Agriculture stands out among U.S. industries, both because TFP growth is much higher than the average for all U.S. industries, and because input growth accounts for almost none of output growth.

    We grew the agriculture economy for reasons other than growth of labor, and that is why food is relatively less expensive here.

    @84 “I doubt Israel lost much sleep over this.”

    If Israel isn’t losing sleep over aid reaching starving Gaza civilians by truck through checkpoints, then why aren’t they letting it in through Israeli checkpoints where their soldiers can inspect the cargoes?

    Or better yet, supplying the aid themselves, which would cost only a tiny fraction of what they’re spending on military operations (and possibly be reimbursed by international aid organizations and other countries), and would go a tremendously long way toward absolving them of war crime and genocide accusations, and greatly improve their standing in the world?

    Because they want the civilians to starve. They’re well aware half the civilian casualties are children. Yet instead of sending in bandages, they’re bombing hospitals and arresting doctors, cutting off water supplies, and subjecting civilians to mass starvation while far-right Israeli politicians talk about seizing Gaza’s land.

    Willis and Wade maintain she brought him on as a top prosecutor in the election interference matter in late 2021, before they began dating in early 2022.

    When Merchant asked Bradley whether he recalled her text questioning whether the prosecutors’s romance “started before (Willis) hired him,” ahe said he replied “absolutely.” Bradley said he did “see that in the text messages.”

    “And do you also recall me asking you how they would react — if they would attack me? And you said ‘No, they will deny it?’” Merchant asked Bradley, drawing an objection from the state that the judge overruled.

    “That’s written in there. Yes,” he replied.

    “It’s not a no.”

    And Trump needed not only a “yes” but a more specific yes that would have included credible detail to support the statement against interest hearsay exception. Without that hearsay exception the exchange will be struck from the record.

    And btw, as we might have expected, the propaganda peddlers for Trump that our profoundly stupid trust fund troll relies upon got some critical details completely wrong. Like Dogwood Senior Center wrong.

    The question concerned Bradley’s knowledge of a meeting that took place in one of his offices between Wade and Willis prior to his appointment. He knew that a meeting had taken place, he recalled it. He could not recall the purpose of the meeting and informed the record that he was not informed about it. Following prolonged badgering under cross, as the movants asked questions in various forms about his recollection of the meeting, when asked if Wade told him that Wade and Willis had sex in that office he replied he did not recall Wade ever telling him that.

    Again, much of the potential admissibility of Mr. Bradley’s recollection of what he heard someone tell him and when, is narrowly excepted from the prohibition against hearsay testimony based on the statement against interest rule for hearsay.
    There can be no statement against interest exception to the rule attached to any statement that a hearsay witness can not recall. And so the exception would not apply. And the witness response to the question would have to be struck and the judge may not consider it in his deliberations.

    It’s a question that calls for speculation on the part of the witness and lacks foundation. It should never have been asked and answered. And McAfee has had himself a great education these past few weeks. And it hasn’t come to an end today. He’ll be responding to motions from now until he rules. And most of those motions will call upon him to observe the rules of evidence in the light of the testimony as it has now been placed into the record.

    With “PodiumGate” still swirling local AR media is starting to ask questions about Governor Huckabee’s trip to the Super Bowl in a luxury suite and field passes. It’s been pointed out that such a trip would likely set a person bak in the range of $250k. If you devide the minimum price for a suite ($750K) for the Super bowl by the 20 tickets it includes, face value of the tickets alone is $37,500 each. It’s also raising questions because in 2023 she posted pictures of herself in the Owners box at a Chiefs game. Tickets to the owners box are not available to the public so that ‘gift’ from Chiefs ownership would be valued (box devided by 20) at about $12,000 for a regular season game. There is no record of such a gift in her legally required financial disclosures from 2023. She apparently forgot an elected official can’t accept anything of value over a couple hundred from anyone with or without disclusure.

    So who paid for it?

    The Governor, a long time Chiefs fan, brought this on herself posting pictures to Instagram of her wining and dining in the days leading up to the game, gameday shots from in the suite And a few selfies with players on the field either during or just after the trophy presentation.

    So who paid for it?

    “Legally compromised” has fuck-all to do with disqualifying an elected DA.

    I find myself having frequently to remind you white people of that fact. That Fani Willis is the elected District Attorney of Fulton County. And the conventional, statutory standard for a court to intervene and disenfranchise the voters of a jurisdiction by disqualifying their choice to represent them in court is a fuck ton higher than whatever that verbal dog vomit is.

    LYING defendants and their LYING attorneys who bring forth LYING witnesses don’t get to have such motions granted just because of New Age woo or “feeeeels”. And a buch of media whining about appearance and “propriety” doesn’t cut it either. Nor are a buch of white Oberlin journalism graduates who live in New York and DC entitled to decide what’s “appropriate” for the voters of Fulton County. This is a democracy. We hold elections. Whites don’t get extra voting privileges. Deal with it.

    Their must be conflict to obtain an order disqualifying an elected District Attorney. Real conflict that directly imperils the rights to investigative and trial fairness held by the accused. Only by showing that the elected DA can not continue in the case without depriving the defendant of their due process rights can a defendant seek to remove an elected DA. Trump’s idiots have never even come close to getting there. Since the original hearing where their original claims of conflict centered around the finances of the prosecutors we’ve learned that this too was another lie. So they’ve switched now to claims of perjury. Also another fail. None of these witnesses have accused anyone of perjury. None of these witnesses have accused anyone other than Ashleigh Merchant of lying to the court.

    And the cell phone data won’t say that either.

    “teh legals”

    This study used uniquely comprehensive arrest data from the Texas Department of Public Safety to compare the criminality of undocumented immigrants to legal immigrants and native-born U.S. citizens between 2012 and 2018.

    Abstract
    The study found that undocumented immigrants had substantially lower crime rates than native-born citizens and legal immigrants across a range of felony offenses.

    …the direct testimony of a former friend…
    Unable to inform the record of any date or timeframe in which she came to know of a personal romantic relationship between Willis and Wade.

    …the cell phone data…
    Potentially obtained illegally, potentially inadmissible, and at best inconclusive. According to a supplemental motion filed by attorneys who have now lied to the court repeatedly in prior motions, the data places Wade’s phone in the area of Hartsfield-Jackson on two specific time periods prior to his appointment. That establishes that Wade goes to the airport (and not the Dogwood Senior Center).

    …massive efforts by both Willis and Wade to prevent what we’ve heard and seen from being heard and seenWe’ve also heard and seen Willis’s daughter’s home address, Willis’s daughters academic performance, Wade’s cancer diagnosis and treatment resulting in impotence, and agonizingly intimate details about a perfectly legal relationship between consenting adults. None of which are even remotely relevant to the rights of the defendants to a fair trial. The level of invasiveness of this inquiry placed alongside of its probitive nature is a grotesque mockery.

    Of course they sought to prevent this charade. It was and is a miscarriage of justice and an abuse of the legal system. Their duty as officers of the court would be to seek to prevent it.
    The judge is a fuck up. White people should all be ashamed.e

    @ 128

    From an empirical perspective, the
    federal government’s increasing reliance on collaborations with
    state and local law enforcement complicates the picture of immigrant criminality because many immigrants held in local jails
    are booked on federal immigration charges, not local criminal
    charges. A focus on the overall rates of crime obscures this
    critical distinction.
    …
    It is important to note how we dealt with the nexus between state and
    federal authorities. More than 39,000 individuals in the CCH data were
    booked for “federal offenses,” the majority of whom (70%) were undocumented immigrants.    || Based on conversations with local authorities, we determined that these individuals were temporarily held in local facilities for
    various federal agencies, including ICE, the Bureau of Prisons, and the US
    Marshalls. Because these individuals are not held on local criminal charges,
    but rather as an administrative accounting for local jails, we exclude them
    from our analysis.

    So let’s classify them as non-violent instead of violent and let’s classify them as federal instead of local, because:

    … the federal
    government paid more to house criminal aliens in local jails in Texas     than all
    other states except New York and California (19).

    Great source, YLB. Very, very persuasive.

    Arrests of criminal noncitizens by CBP (by fiscal year):

    2021 10,763
    2022 12,028
    2023 15,267

    Arrests of Individuals with Criminal Convictions
    The term “criminal noncitizens” refers to individuals who have been convicted of one or more crimes, whether in the United States or abroad, prior to interdiction by the U.S. Border Patrol; it does not include convictions for conduct that is not deemed criminal by the United States. Arrests of criminal noncitizens are a subset of total apprehensions by U.S. Border Patrol.

    Queen YLB, quoting a study that ran through 2018 when Biden opened the borders wide in 2021 isn’t really relevant to present-day status.

    I’ll be pleased to stipulate that the illegal alien criminals who murder Queen YLBs two fucked kids in future years did not enter the US during the Obama or Trump years, but instead came in after Biden opened the borders to every POS criminal who wanted in.

    The airdrop of “aid” for Gaza ended up going mostly into the Mediterranean Sea.

    Jordan successfully air-dropped aid for Gaza in Mediterranean Sea

    However, the operation that took place on Monday, which was “aimed at delivering aid to the population directly and drop it along the coast of the Gaza Strip from north to south,” almost completely failed.

    It comprised “relief and food supplies, including ready-made meals of high nutritional value, to alleviate the suffering of the people of the Gaza Strip”, the statement added.

    However, interestingly enough, most of the supply drops were swimming with the fish before they made it to the hands of the people of Gaza as they were dropped straight into the Mediterranean Sea instead of on the coast of southern Gaza.

    Oops.

    Criticism befell Jordan over its aid delivery as the goods it airdropped were extensively damaged by the water and still, the people of Gaza, with nothing else to eat, swam into the sea to retrieve the aid because of the lack of a better alternative.

    Half of the alleged “genocide” is due to Gazans being blown up by wayward Islamic Jihad rockets and the other half is due to Gazans drowning trying to reach aid delivered without Israel’s consent.

    I doubt it. She got 63% of the votes in 2022, and even if she gets a little less in 2024 because of her many scandals and pratfalls, she’ll still win. Arkansas is a red state, and Republican voters have grown used to voting for corrupt politicians who lie and steal, because that’s all that’s left in their party now. All the honorable people have quit the GOP or been shown the door.

    “An out-of-control wildfire is threatening Texas Panhandle towns and forcing residents to evacuate. Meanwhile, several other wildfires are burning nearby, fueled by high winds and dry air. And the flames jumped into bordering Oklahoma communities Tuesday night, prompting evacuation orders there too.”

    https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/texas-smokehouse-creek-fire-02-27-24/index.html

    I remember when Gov. Rick Perry cut the state firefighting budget by 90% to save money, then when Texas was burning up, he went begging to Obama for federal emergency funds and got them. Democrats are too classy to let people lose their homes just because they elect jerks.

    @128 “The same illegals who will callously and viciously murder…”

    How many times do we have to repeat the illegals have far lower crime rates than citizens, and there are plenty of studies proving this? It’s a fact. An inconvenient fact for racists and migrant-haters, and one they can’t sweep under the rug, so they lie about it. Yes, some illegals commit murders, robberies, rapes, and deal drugs. But statistically speaking, you’re safer on a migrant bus than a city bus.

  160. 160

    @130 If you want your Texas buddies to report them for supposed crimes (besides being here illegally), then ask them to report their crimes.

    There’s no centralized or uniform crime reporting in the United States because local jurisdictions or Congress, or both, don’t want it. So you get what the 18,000-plus LE agencies want you to have. And it’s not beyond possibility that what they give you is skewed for political purposes, especially when you’re dealing with partisan sheriffs in places like rural Texas.

  161. 161

    @131 15,267 arrests out of 3.2 million encounters yields a criminal apprehension rate of 0.48% of the migrants encountered by authorities. We should be so lucky as to have a 0.48% crime rate in our major cities.

    Compare 15,267 arrests at the border in 2023 with 2.3 million arrests nationwide* in 2022. The crime problem isn’t at the border, and it’s not migrants; it’s our own citizens committing crimes in our cities and towns.

    * Based on reporting agencies; as some agencies don’t report data, the number undoubtedly is higher

    Of course we don’t want migrants coming to our country and committing crimes, and they won’t commit any crimes here if we keep them all out. But that would require such a large diversion of law enforcement resources and personnel that the vastly larger number of home-grown criminals would have virtually free reign in our cities and towns.

    “Party strategists were banking on former Ohio state Rep. Craig Riedel to block Majewski from the nomination. Then audio leaked late last year of him calling Trump ‘arrogant’ and vowing to refrain from endorsing him. That revelation caused panic among Republicans who feared Riedel would not be able to win a primary filled with Trump supporters — but that Majewski would not be able to win a general election.”

    (“According to Politico, an exit by Majewski would be good news to House GOP strategists who thought his bid was a threat to a GOP majority. Majewski’s 2022 bid for Congress was derailed after it was discovered that he lied about his military service.”)

    Arizona Republicans have at last come up with an idea on how to stem the flow of migrants into their state:

    Republicans in the Arizona legislature are advancing a bill that would make it legal to kill migrants who cross private property, according to a new report. As April Rubin reported for Axios on Tuesday, “The legislation, which is expected to be vetoed if it reaches the state’s Democratic governor, would legalize the murder of undocumented immigrants, who often have to cross ranches that sit on the state’s border with Mexico. Rep. Justin Heap (R-AZ) said the bill is intended to close a loophole by which migrants have moved within the U.S., per the Arizona Mirror.”

    I suppose someday robots will grow all our food, and moguls like Bill Gates will own all the farmland; then we won’t need farmers anymore, and there won’t be any “rural rage” because there won’t be any rural Americans. They’ll all have to move to cities to find work, just like 100 years ago when machines began taking over plowing, picking, and sorting, and the number of hands needed to run a farm plunged. Then they can road-rage on their morning commutes to meaningless, brain-dead, warehouse jobs — if any of those jobs are still left. They won’t be able to target-practice in their backyards, or go hunting in the local parks on weekends. Yes, I see why they’re angry, because the miserable lives they have now are about to become a lot worse. But Trump can’t save them. He has nothing to offer except angry words. Maybe listening to him makes them feel better in a sort of catharsis way.
