On the bus home from Drinking Liberally last night, there was a homeless man with a keyboard. He was hitting the keys, but it wasn’t making any sound. At some point he started singing under his breath. In many ways Metro buses are homeless shelters, especially later at night. The louder version of that is something that happens at many homes.

The Foxconn/WisconsinGOP collapse stories are now trending globally.
I don’t know if that’s because of durty hippie pinkos sharing it on their Obama-phones are driving views. Or if it’s global investors looking for indicators. Or if trailerbillies are beginning to wake up to the con. I guess time will tell.
But it’s a sufficiently negative story to suppose we won’t see another tax scam like that one again for a loong time. And if you think about it, that kind of story, along with consistent reporting on the failure of the GOP tax give away, really don’t help “economic conservative” EEEN-DEE-PEN-DUNCE like Billionaire CEO Plutocrat at all.
@1 Walker’s FoxConn scam has served its purpose by making sure that $3 billion of state taxpayers’ money will never be spent on schools, roads, police and fire services, libraries, and other real needs of Wisconsin’s citizens.
“Republican Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin … joined 840 WHAS radio in Louisville on Tuesday to talk about school closures in his state as the polar vortex unleashed an icy cold front on the Midwest ….

Tell me again how Howard Schultz is bad for Democrats.
Today he retweeted his gratitude for a thoughtful analysis of Kamala Harris’ Medicare For All ideas.
The thoughtful analysis is from PJMedia, calls out, totally on topic, Harris’ “Shrill” questions of Brett Kavanaugh and refers to “Fauxcahantas” Warren.
The tweet has been deleted but not before a bunch of folks in the #MeToo movement let their millions of followers know that the largest shareholder in their morning Latte hates women.

Would be true if not for the idiotic “winner-take-all” electoral laws in the states.
It would be awfully nice if somebody could explain that to Billionaire CEO Plutocrat. If he really truly wants to pioneer a “third way” and open up the system he should start with those state laws. Remember Ross Perot took 19% but didn’t earn a single fucking elector. Not one.
I know. Too nerdy. Too “technical”. But that’s the point. Billionaire CEO Plutocrat has absolutely no real interest in promoting a more open political system or even “third way” politics. He’s simply another vain billionaire blowing his money on a massive ego-trip. This is news worthy? Yawn.

Carl, that’s really nothing….here in NYC we have homeless people showering and taking care of business in the trains, without any water or toilet paper.
Yesterday I was underground waiting on the platform for the train with the rest of the masses heading home for the day. And as is customary with most New Yorkers who make the daily commute, as the train pulled in to the station I stood still waiting for it to stop and after it stopped I moved closer to one of the car doors , as did the rest of the people – kind of like a cow along with the other cows getting ready to enter a pen. But you have to leave enough room for the people to get off before boarding, and as you do one will look towards the other doors to see if there is a better opening.
So this time I do that and I see an empty door but instead of those that are near by it using it, I see them heading towards my door. I like to be the last one on so that I don’t get pushed into the center of the train. Typically my commute is very short – I only go a few stops and I want to be near the door to get out easier (as everyone else does too – but I do it while courteously letting people by to go in and out – I’m not one of those assholes who obliviously stand in the way). So, as the second to last person that gets on, whom came from the other door, I ask him, “What’s wrong with the other car”. The middle aged lad, says to me, “Nothing, just a homeless guy lying down on the seats and has his clothing all strung up on the had bar like a clothesline”.

Varian Medical Systems, Inc. (VAR) Sets All-Time High | ZTribune
https://ztribune.com/2019/01/29/varian-medical-systems-inc-var-sets-all-time-high/
Nah, probably not. Navel-gazing is harder as the man-boobs get bigger, and Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit is having a difficult time with it.
Oh. It hit an all-time high today, too. Closed above 132, or around 25% higher than when I recommended it. Hey, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit, you chose GE based on the dividend. How’d that work out for ya?
See @31 for the stock investor equivalent of “my dick is bigger than your dick.”
Since we’re going down this path, not putting too fine a point on it, but even today GE’s dividend is bigger than Varian’s dividend.

Cool story bro….
NFLX is up nearly 200% since you assured me it was a fad. Up 45% from that low point you wanted me to focus on from when Donald spooked the market and it had a blip for a few weeks. That was just about a month ago you were giving that advice.
I’m sooooo impressed with your market savvy. Some day you must tell me how you do it.
As we head toward Super Bowl ™ weekend it might be worth noting some developments in the case of the Son of a Bitch who kneeled.
The league put a poll in the field on how signing Colin Kaepernick would affect fan attitudes after he became a free agent.
Roger Godell, commissioner of the NFL was asked today at a press conference about the artists refusing to perform at ‘The world’s biggest stage'” in support of Kaepernick and he stated that teams decided not to sign as individual decisions of teams and the best way for them to win. (This is where you note that 24 starting QBs in 2019 had worse career stats than Kaepernick, every single back up QB had worse career starts than Kaepernick and the last QB Benched in San Francisco because Kaeprnick was better started a game for the Bears in 2019) and in no way did they consider the social impact of signing a controversial QB. Man it was almost like the three reporters at Goddell’s PC knew this report was coming on the poll the NFL paid for.
As Kaeprnick pursues his collusion lawsuit against the NFL the league would have the court believe that they polled potential fan backlash to signing Colin Kaepernick but DID NOT SHARE the results of the poll with team owners because doing so would involve 32 separate business entities colluding to find a reason to not hire a player unrelated to on field performance.
Kaepernick’s legal team is already saying they have discovery of multiple owners discussing not signing Kaepernick via e-mail (collusion) now all they have to find is a single team owner who was aware the NFL poll existed because they were informed of its existence by the corporation known as the NFL. If the results of the poll were shared among the 32 individual businesses well then that’s game over and the judgement against the NFL will involve the NLRB, hundreds of millions in lost wages to Kaepernick, potentially billions in punitive damages and the loss of their Anti-Trust exemption.
Was it worth it?
California is readying a bill which will permit abortion up to the first day of kindergarten.

SCO’s motion to waive speedy trial for Roger Stone contains not only a few more interesting hints of what the Special Prosecutor has been up to, but also where things are headed.
The justification of the waiver in cases like these is owing to the complex nature of a substantial portion of the evidence supporting the prosecution. In order to provide discovery to the defense the SCO has to independently review that evidence first to protect against any claims of privilege. Multiple very large capacity hard drives, multiple mobile computing devices, and multiple mobile account databases with vast troves of files, documents, and records are involved.
The mere fact of the motion, combined with the arguments made in the motion, make a pretty convincing case that the SCO will be hard at work on this and other prosecutions for quite some time to come. Whatever Sweaty Child Molesters on television may say to delude themselves or mollify the Giant Orange ManBaby, the SCO isn’t even close to wrapping this up any time soon.
At least one other implication of the motion has to do with the descriptions of the evidence being reviewed for discovery.
“The communications contained in the iCloud accounts, email accounts, and physical devices span several years. The government also intends to produce to the defense the contents of physical devices recently seized from his home, apartment, and office. Those devices are currently undergoing a filter review by the FBI for potentially privileged communications.”
The motion distinguishes the online and mobile communications and associated account data going back “several years” from “the contents of physical devices recently seized from his home, apartment, and office.” So it looks like SCO had access to Stone’s telecom account data prior to the arrest. How long is hard to say. The warrants may have been executed simultaneously. But the motion limits its description of the ongoing filter review to the contents seized at the time of Stone’s arrest. Which suggests that the account data has been previously reviewed for privilege. In other words SCO had it for quite some time.
How long they had that account data from Stone (and presumably others, some of whose data we know they had long before) will tell us who might be next to face indictment. That will of course depend on how their prior sworn testimony compares to what that data proves they knew was true when they gave that testimony. And yes, I’m talking about Don Jr. for sure. But also any number of other players involved who were in communication with these people prior to and during their sworn testimony.
And we still haven’t even gotten to the real hearing yet. Hee hee.

@69 That’s nothing. Stephen Paddock, the Iowa-born son of a convicted bank robber, murdered 58 people and shot 422 more (injuring a total of 851) with AR-15s converted to machineguns with bump stocks the NRA contends should be legal for no apparent reason other than he wanted to go out with a splash.
I’m not saying an illegal who murdered 4 people isn’t a problem. Lock him up! But since you mentioned statistics, this white guy shot 120 people (and injured 227) for every person your Mexican burglar shot. Clearly, evil white citizens with guns are a much bigger problem than evil brown illegals with guns. Cherrypick all you want; it’s just that, cherrypicking, because it’s a fact that you’re far more likely to be killed by a white citizen with a gun than a brown illegal with a gun.

And frankly, that wasn’t even on my radar. If you take a look at that, take a look at the deal. There was no money put up. There was no transfer. I don’t think they had a location. I’m not even sure if they had a location.
BAKER: Clearly there was a hope of having money. That was the reason you were pursuing it, right?
TRUMP: My point is this — It was a free option to look at a deal, to look at deals. That was not like, “I’m going to buy a property in Moscow. I’m going to do — or I’m building a building in Moscow.” Now, I would have had every right to do a deal. That’s what I did. That’s what I did.”

This is your “liberal media” New York Times hard at work folks. Putin’s Pool Boy says the quiet part out loud again. And Maggie and Peter get to work trying to get you to look the other way.
This is fascinating.
Sanctioned Venezuela Oil Firm Gave $500,000 to Trump’s Inauguration—And Is in Debt to Moscow
A month before Trump assumed power, the Venezuelan government also gave the Russian owned company Rosneft 49.9 percent of Citgo’s shares for a $1.5 billion loan.

It sure looks like the oil company wants the US to get rid of the evil socialist so the oil company can keep the profits for themselves and their Russian partners.
“Leisure and hospitality saw big gains in job growth in January as a swell in hiring at restaurants, bars and casinos catapulted the month’s total above 300,000.”

Roger Rabbit Commentary: January is when state minimum wages adjust upward. So much for minimum wage being a “job killer.” But then Republicans have always been liars, and there’s never a time when Doctor Dumbfuck isn’t full of b.s..
Yesterday, on another blog, I saw some guy call a union contract that gives refinery workers an 11% pay raise over three years “socialism.” There really are people out there who resent workers being paid anything for their work, and disparage workers no matter how hard they work. An irrational anti-wage earner ideology has taken root in our society and is spreading like a noxious weed. I’m sure glad I don’t have to work, especially for these people.
@85 Putin probably figures buying an American president for $300 million is a lot cheaper than fighting a war to, say, take over Eastern Europe. If he can get rid of NATO for only $300 million, he’s getting the deal of a lifetime.
@88. How much do you think that attitude is encouraged resentment?
“Nobody is “helping” ME get an 11% pay raise over three years, so I’m opposed to THEM getting it,. Furthermore since I didn’t get it automatically due to my class and privilege, they must have cheated to get it.”
Heh. Boob once again forgets to thank its daughter, that is if she isn’t living in the farthest state she can from her “dad”..
too funny, this “serious” and “relevant” troll..
Re: Rasmussen, tehdonald’s favorite pollster..
Yours truly recalls when another “serious” and “relevant” troll named Mr. Klynical posted Rasmussen’s daily poll EVERY FREAKIN’ day here at HA during Obama’s first two years.. Maybe Rasmussen took weekends off..

We’re left with the absolute bottom of the barrel.. yes, fellow HA HEROES, the most “serious” and “relevant” trolls. Are you lyao yet?
