I don’t think we as a state are prepared for the level of bullshit Brian Heywood’s initiatives are going to bring down on the state. Brian Heywood thinks he can replace the niche Tim Eyman left. I was aware of the economic damage if his tax initiatives pass. But I guess I missed how much Brian Heywood wants the police to hit people during unnecessary high speed chases. Just terrible all around.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Is it a bigger error that I referred to the OLC memoranda as coming from “the president’s attorney”?
Or is it a bigger error that QoS McHillbilly described such memoranda as “legally binding”?
QoS McHillbilly seems not to wish to address comment about his proclamation.
NYT/Siena poll finds that Trump’s unfavorables have not budged since October 2020. 54% each time.
Biden’s unfavorables, however:
October 2020: 42%
Now: 59%
Will Biden hit 70% unfavorable by November? Don’t bet against the possibility.
Opill hits grocery store shelves today.

You all should get yourselves ready for a possible Trump victory in November.

You should get yourself ready for his next loss.
The last time Trump The Rapist got crushed Joe Biden was campaigning from his basement. It cost you four Senate flips, dozens of early Congressional incumbent retirements, flipped a few state houses, sent Brave Kevin into a humiliating death spiral, and reversed gerrymandering in two thirds of swing states.
And that was all before Dobbs and Trump’s rape conviction, half a billion dollar judgment, and 91 felony indictments.
Have you stocked up enough Oxy for when he loses again this fall?
There’s no shame in ritual seppuku for a brave warrior like you. Trump would salute you.
Torture is permissible. It’s a legally binding opinion, straight out of the keyboard of John Yoo.”
Until such time as a federal court intervened, torture as limited to the terms described in the Yoo memo, was legal for those Executive branch officials it bound.
That’s why Dubya isn’t in prison.
And that’s why there are no DOJ indictments.
Impeachment is dead. It’s fucking hilarious to watch that humiliating fact sink in. I guess this is what Enrique Tarrio called “finding out”.

Last time he won, other than the court, things actually worked out okay for us dirty socialists.
A bunch of you idiots off’ed yourselves with an easilly avoidable virus, $15 min wage became “conservative”, Democrats took control of the House and impeached your Fanta Emporer twice, the GOP imploded into a 24/7 food fight, and you wrapped the whole glorious performance up with a an armed terrorist attack on Congress with face paint.
You did more incalculable brand damage in just four years than any modern political party in history. The GOP is now the crazed, rapturous, violent mob party of ignorant, beer guzzling troglodytes. Democrats are now the “elites” who represent modern medical miracles, the scientific method, global security, and cautious economic policy.
Another four years of Trump will end in Republican Jonestown.

Interviews with more than 120 officials, including hospital administrators and military medical providers, painted a picture of a White House clinic that treated medication dispensement with a cavalier disregard for protocol. Prepacks containing the sleeping drug Ambien and stimulant Provigil were handed out to senior staff or their assistants without any record of who was ultimately receiving them. This haphazard practice raises the question of the full extent of misuse, given the report’s alarming note that medication counts often contained errors or were illegible and not properly annotated.

Children’s Health Defense, an anti-vaccine group founded by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., received $23.5 million in contributions, grants and other revenue in 2022 alone — eight times what it collected the year before the pandemic began — allowing it to expand its state-based lobbying operations to cover half the country. Another influential anti-vaccine group, Informed Consent Action Network, nearly quadrupled its revenue during that time to about $13.4 million in 2022, giving it the resources to finance lawsuits seeking to roll back vaccine requirements as Americans’ faith in vaccines drops.
Two other groups, Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance and America’s Frontline Doctors, went from receiving $1 million combined when they formed in 2020 to collecting more than $21 million combined in 2022, according to the latest tax filings available for the groups.
The four groups routinely buck scientific consensus.

The just-released CBS News poll asked whether Trump gets blame or credit for the Dobbs decision.
Only 33% blame him. They’re all voting for Biden, anyway.
Dobbs might be on the ballot in 2024, but it’ll be a nothingburger.
The CBS News YouGov national poll of likely voters has Trump at a majority. Not that I care about national polls. I mention them because I know that the poorly educated like Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit, who harps endlessly about popular vote results, care about national polls.

From the opinion:
Jack Smith could have charged Trump under 2383. He didn’t.
“Nikki Haley on Monday reacted to the Supreme Court’s ruling that states can’t bar Donald Trump from running for office based on the 14th Amendment’s insurrectionist ban, saying in part, ‘We don’t ever want some elected official in the state, or anybody else saying who can and can’t be on the ballot.’”
https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/supreme-court-opinion-trump-ballot-03-04-24/index.html
So if a 12-year-old wants to run for president the Colorado secretary of state has to put him on the ballot? I’m asking for a black kid in Aurora.
Let’s not forget that banning Trump from the ballot was always a longshot. That a five-conservative majority went “further than they needed to” doesn’t surprise me; this court is now a political branch of government that legislates (the “gratuitous” part of their opinion). That Barrett was reluctant to participate in that charade does surprise me a little. But neither does it surprise me that they focused on the process and didn’t reach the substance (whether Trump is an insurrectionist); this I expected all along.
@3 What we have here is one guy in a rocking chair amending the Constitution without a vote of Congress or the states.
If Barrett really cares about uniting the country as much as she says in her concurring opinion, then she should stop helping turn the Supreme Court into an arm of the Republican Party.
@37 “Not that I care about national polls. I mention them because I know that the poorly educated like Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit, who harps endlessly about popular vote results, care about national polls.”

@17 ” as useless as a Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit opinion”
This apparently is as close as Dumbfuck will come to forgetting that immediately after the Colorado ruling I posted that SCOTUS would overturn it because the Colorado statute isn’t an appropriate process for enforcing Section 3.

President Biden has the full authority to issue an unconditional pardon for his son Hunter right now. It’s in the constitution. Always has been.
He’s had that power since the day he was inaugurated.
He’s had that power since the day he appointed the Special Prosecutor to investigate his son Hunter.
He’s had that power since the day ultra MAGA House Republicans announced they were going to “impeach” him for something vaguely having to do with his son.
Notice anything?
Biden wins, Trump does nothing, goes to jail and probably dies in prison.

This is more than a little interesting because it means Couy Griffin’s removal from a county-level elective office stands for now, and likely will survive a Supreme Court challenge:
https://sourcenm.com/briefs/supreme-court-victory-for-trump-may-not-mean-anything-for-couy-griffin-in-nm/
This also suggests that if they do take up his appeal, it will be limited to hearing the state-imposed ban from federal office. You could argue the only truly “federal” offices are the presidency and vice presidency, because members of Congress are elected by their respective states to represent their states, and in a practical sense are state officials serving state interests.
If the Texas law stood, Gov. Abbott would need to hire at least 500,000 more cops to carry out its intent, which is to pull over and ID check every Hispanic-looking person at least 4 times on every trip he makes from his home to his neighborhood grocery store.
“A UN inquiry led by Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Pramila Patten, found that Hamas perpetrated sexual violence against Israelis, and also heard allegations of sexual violence perpetrated by Israeli officials and settlers against Palestinians.” Which surprises no one.

Hamas can’t plausibly claim raping people is fighting for a cause. Rape is nothing more than terrorism and criminality. Not that anyone in America thinks Hamas are good guys, anyway.

Trump had more senior moments this weekend. A former aide says he’s getting worse. Observers comment on his physical deterioration, too. His defenders’ best argument may be that he’s on drugs.
A retired pastor tried to educate his Jewish neighbor “about the history of the swastika as a Buddhist symbol” by scrawling one on a box of seltzer outside her door in view of her doorbell camera.
Caught on camera after initially denying having anything to do with the swastika, he declared that “in hindsight, the way I went about it was not the right away to go about” his educational mission.

Beating Trump was the most common theme in interviews with professionals, students and cross section of age, gender and racial and ethnic backgrounds. “It frightens me to think about Trump being in office again,” “So for me, it’s voting so that Trump cannot be in office again, And that means getting behind the party. So, I guess that’s Biden.”
“I understand the the age-related stuff. I don’t necessarily like Biden’s age, But what’s the option? Trump? Really? That guy’s an absolute thug. He’s a danger to our way of life.”
“And I’m tired of choosing between the lesser evil of two old white guys. ”But Biden is the lesser of those two evils.”
“But I’m as anti-Trump as you can be. So what choice do I have?”

Georgia county co-chief Deputy DA will testify that Terrence Bradley is a lying liar who lies:
Nathan Wade’s Former Law Partner Privately Made Statements That ‘Directly’ Contradicted His Testimony, Witness Claims
Actually, Bradley’s testimony last week proved pretty much the same thing about himself.
So that’s two witnesses who have knowledge of the dishonesty of Willis and Wade, and a third whose dishonesty during testimony under oath clearly demonstrated the same.
An Arby’s Half Pound Beef ‘N Cheddar sandwich contains twice as much vitamin C and calcium folate as a Bud Light.
91,
…according to a new Monday court filing.
The criminal defendants may allege anything and file almost anything.
As Merchant and Sadow have amply demonstrated throughout by making filings that told the court they had “proof” etc.
“This one guy heard this other guy say” is problematic hearsay evidence under any circumstances. When the other guy has already testified under oath to the contrary such hearsay is routinely excluded.
83 – What are you talking about?
Wherein the profoundly stupid trust fund troll, in the same profoundly stupid comment, forcefully impeaches the credibility of Trump’s star witness then immediately offers that witness testimony for us to rely upon.
Yes. Bradley is a liar, who actively spied on his client and his law partner and because of that was forced to admit in a sworn public hearing that he was dismissed from Wade’s practice for having sexually assaulted a firm employee and a firm client.
The guy is irredeemable as a witness. Destined to be disbarred.
I wonder why the profoundly stupid trust fund troll is following any supplemental filings in Fulton County?
After all, last week the profoundly stupid trust fund troll had already been informed by Cat Turd that Willis was DQ’d.🙄
If I had to guess on McAfee’s ruling, it would be that he orders Wade removed.
Trumpland runs a full court press during the election this year pouring in money (that Brian Fitzpatrick in PA-01 desperately needs) and defeats her. They succeed in continuing delays. Their new DA takes office before the trial can commence and drops the case.
The four who pleaded guilty seek unsuccessfully to have their pleas vacated.
