Wednesday!

by Carl Ballard — Wednesday, 8/30/23, 7:53 am

Good morning. My family moved to the Seattle area when I was young enough to transfer most of my sports loyalty to the Seattle teams. But I still root for the Mets over the Mariners (M’s are my AL team). Mostly I just don’t think about it.

But now that every team plays each other, there’s a series against each other late in the year. And while the Mets sweeping would be my ideal, they are out of contention this year, and it would make Seattle so miserable in this penant race.

I don’t think I can watch?

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

    Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit was counting on a 15′ storm surge.

    Generac Holdings (GNRC), which tends to rise ahead of major storms as investors bet on increased demand for the company’s home standby generators, was off 1.8% at $118.99. Its stock had risen in the five prior sessions.

    Didn’t happen.

    How sad that Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit profits, intentionally, from natural disasters that befall Americans who are not him.

    The bright side is that Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit’s profits are laughably small and infrequent.

    Doctor Dumbuck calls Biden “corrupt,” but it’s hard to imagine anything more corrupt than politicians trying to remove a prosecutor from office in order to protect the criminal leading their party.

    There’s some discussion on sites I peruse about WVU making cuts to classes, majors (9% of them), and reducing faculty numbers in response to a budget shortfall of $45 million.

    The AP did a piece and attributes the shortfall to enrollment declines, from 40k to 33k now.

    Some of what I read blamed the presence of “7,500 administrators” on the WVU payroll. Which is, just, wow. A huge number.

    Turns out WVU has 7,500 employees. Some of whom doubtless are administrators.

    I’m sure that WVU has larded up on administration at the expense of student wellbeing, and certainly at student financial expense. But it’s not as bad as some of what’s written makes it seem.

    @8 I guess if you count janitors, groundskeepers, and clerical workers as “administrators,” as certain media outlets apparently do. Not that there isn’t a real issue; there is. Many colleges and universities have bloated non-faculty staffs, and make students pay for it. Why? “With no market or regulatory forces to contain the reckless spending behavior of colleges and universities, school presidents have focused on fundraising, not good management.”

    Rudi gave up the defamation suit against Georgia Poll Workers. Did not meet discovery deadlines and the judge has issued a default ruling in the Plaintiff’s favor.

    In the ruling the judge basically called Giuliani a lying sack and crappy lawyer,

    The result of these efforts to obtain discovery from Giuliani… is largely a single page of communications, blobs of indecipherable data, a sliver of the financial documents required to be produced, and a declaration and two stipulations from Giuliani, who indicates in the latter stipulations his preference to concede plaintiffs’ claims rather than produce discovery in this case,”

    Rudi’s mounting bills and no way to continue to earn a living outside the GOP Grift Machine makes him a prime candidate to spend his twilight years in a public housing project for seniors if he manages to avoid a prison sentence for his role in the GA Vote stealing scheme.

    Well I’m fucked.

    Former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro will not be able to argue before a jury at his contempt of Congress trial next week that the former president asserted privilege to shield him from a House January 6 committee subpoena, a federal judge ruled Wednesday.

    Navarro had not met the burden to establish that Donald Trump formally granted executive privilege or testimonial immunity, US District Judge Amit P. Mehta said at a pre-trial conference.

    Mehta announced the ruling after holding an evidentiary hearing Monday during which Navarro testified about alleged assertions from Trump.
    …In a lengthy explanation of his ruling delivered from the bench Wednesday, Mehta said he concluded that either Trump himself or someone authorized to assert privilege or immunity on his behalf would have had to personally invoke the privilege for it to be validly asserted. The judge said Navarro had not put forward adequate evidence to show such an assertion when he was subpoenaed for testimony and documents by the House committee in February 2022.

    who believes socialism can work.

    This country has had that from the beginning.. for the rich..

    Morris and Hamilton sought, as much as possible, to shift sovereign powers traditionally reserved for governments into the hands of new chartered institutions—private corporations and banks—that would be strategically immunized from the democratic “disease.” These were not corporations or banks as we know them; they were quasi-governmental institutions with monopoly power. Jefferson sought to place an anti-monopoly provision in the Constitution precisely because of this well-understood link between monopoly finance and political power.

    Chernow portrays this far-reaching debate over the future direction of America’s productive life as a byproduct of Hamilton’s unassailably noble attempt to have the federal government retire the Revolutionary War debt. This is simply false (and a very common lie, expressed with admiration by other prominent Hamilton fans like Alan Greenspan and Andrew Mellon). Hamilton wanted a large permanent debt; he wanted it financed so his backers could extract a steady income from the people by way of federal taxes. To pay off the debt would be to kill the goose laying the golden egg. By constricting the question of democracy to a question of accounting, Chernow misrepresents what was really at stake. It was a fight over democracy, authoritarianism, and political economy—and in many ways, the same one we’re having today.

    In the 1780s and 1790s, Hamilton won this battle, and the effects were catastrophic. Interest rates shot up as a monopoly of finance gathered in the hands of the merchant class. The debt was owned by the wealthy, while ordinary farmers who had fought in the Revolution had to pay the tax in gold that they didn’t have. It was a heavily deflationary policy, and the era after the Revolution saw an economic contraction similar in size to that of the Great Depression, with a foreclosure crisis as severe. According to Bouton, “There were more Pennsylvanians who had property foreclosed by county sheriffs during the post-war decades than there were Pennsylvania soldiers who fought for the Continental Army.”

    We have millions of people trying to get something for nothing along with those “socialists” in business and industry. Socialism has always been about rewarding corruption and tyranny. Crony capitalism in nearly as bad as full-on socialism, but the real thing is much, much worse. Socialism, at the level of a national government, is horrible because that government has no problems using deadly force against the people to maintain their privileges and power. It’s all about maintenance of personal lifestyles, not about running a fair economy and society.

    Congratulations, US residents! For the second straight month y’all spent more than y’all made.

    The BEA:

    Personal income increased $45.0 billion (0.2 percent at a monthly rate) in July. Disposable personal income (DPI)—personal income less personal current taxes— increased $7.3 billion (less than 0.1 percent). Personal outlays—the sum of personal consumption expenditures (PCE), personal interest payments, and personal current transfer payments—increased $153.8 billion (0.8 percent) and consumer spending increased $144.6 billion (0.8 percent). Personal saving was $705.6 billion and the personal saving rate—personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income—was 3.5 percent in July.

    Hey, you’re $100B in the hole compared with last month, but it’s only a month.

    So here’s what I think will happen in the Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss defamation case against Rudy Giuliani. The judge awarded the plaintiffs a default judgment against Giuliani because he didn’t comply with discovery orders (probably because if he did, he would be revealing incriminating information that could be used against him by prosecutors), and set a hearing to determine damages. Giuliani will blow that off, too, figuring he won’t have to pay because he’s broke and you can get rid of civil judgments in bankruptcy court.

    But here’s the real deal: Freeman and Moss are black, so it’s not a valid debt, because white people don’t pay black people for white transgressions against blacks, which smacks of reparations. In Giuliani’s world, whites do whatever they like to blacks, and the idea of a white person being liable to a black person is ridiculous on its face. So Giuliani will continue to blow off this lawsuit, until Freeman’s and Moss’s lawyers wipe that stupid grin off his face.

    CNN
    —
    GOP hardliners in the House are eager to play a game of chicken over the end-of-the-month deadline to fund federal agencies, seeking to force the White House and Senate to make a choice: Accept a slew of conservative priorities or risk a debilitating government shutdown.

    And caught in the middle, once again, is Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

    In a private conference call last week, McCarthy urged his colleagues to back a short-term spending deal to avoid an October 1 shutdown and instead focus their energy on the larger funding fight later in the fall, sources on the call told CNN. His argument: The year-long spending bills to fund federal agencies would be better suited to enact cuts and policy changes they have demanded, including on hot-button issues like border security and immigration policy.

    It’s cute how CNN here has ignored that hardliners are also going to force McCarthy into a payback impeachment vote when they could be working on a budget that they probably can’t pass anyway.

    The electorate is watching this shit show as campaign season gets into full swing.

    Went to the Puyallup yesterday. Because of my general age and skin color it’s always fun to have a conversation with the volunteers over at the Pierce county Republican booth.

    Verbatim, “I had a good friend who fell off my boat about 30 years ago. Went to high school. Anyway, I pulled him out of the water and now I have to apologize to everyone because he went on to be Jay Inslee’s campaign manager.” (ha ha ha because the moral and Christian thing to do is kill your political opponents.)

    Paraphrased because JESUS this was a long rant. Crazy Maize (Hirono), that’s why. They did this on purpose to the water. Then someone set the fire and now Facebook is going to buy up the land to make Zuckerberg rich! (Richer?) It was definitely arson so they can grab the land from the Native Hawaiians. (Editors note, the white rich liberal and conservative gentrifiers grabbed the land already over the last 30-50 years especially but whatevs)

    Verbatim, “Well they’re going to bring the mask mandate back and then probably around September next year there will be another lockdown but it won’t be as strict in Democrat King County. That way they can rig the election.” (Because Semi Bird has a shot in hell and something something, all mail election in Washington, logic and something)

    Side note not a person under 70 or darker than a chicken breast manning the booth all day. They gave me a bunch of stickers and someone named Ezra Meeker signed all 8 of the petitions. Like guys, none of you know who Ezra is and sniffed me out?
