@1 I can assure you the baby hawk story is accurate. In my neighborhood there is a mother hawk constantly screeching for it’s baby/babies this started during the heat wave.
Sadly, it reminds me of the constant screeching Dr. Dumbfuck does here.
Kicking things off for Mr. Avenatti this morning, we learned that very late last night he filed objections to the jury instructions that dealt with the California State Bar Rules of Professional Conduct (the ones that say “don’t steal from a client”). Judge is ordering Avenatti to explain his conduct filing late. Avenatti appears to have offered some dumb excuses, but does so with confidence and assertiveness believing this will suffice. Judge appeared to be vexed and unsatisfied. Then Avenatti tells the court the bar rules are not relevant. Judge isn’t having that shit.
Then Avenatti presents a whole bunch of material for presentation that hasn’t been previously disclosed – charts, and graphics I guess. More judge frustration. Then Avenatti announces that he wants jurors to remove their masks in court. This is pissing off judge even more. Finally Avenatti informs judge that he will move for a mistrial based on prosecution’s opening.
Get the picture kids? He’s gonna do whatever he can to see if he can produce an outburst or intemperate ruling from judge. And he’s going to try to poison the jury. And he’s going to try to piss of the prosecutor in the same way.
He’s playing for post-conviction motions and appeals.
Maybe this seems like ballsy strategy for a guy in his position.
It isn’t. It’s going to put him in big-boy prison for a longer term under worse conditions. About all this gets him is more prison pen-pals offering conjugal visitations.
He’s telling them he did it and he has no defense.

“some economists say could mean the benefit cuts may merely end up reducing family income.”
“Goldman Sachs economists also found little evidence yet that the cessation of benefits across a group of mostly Republican-led states was having much impact on labor markets that continue to puzzle Federal Reserve and other officials.”
Wonder what the greedy racist incel will say about this? Argue the numbers are not right? That it’s too early to tell? That cruelty was the point?

“You know what bothered me? When we saw the DOW started to tank the other day because COVID cases are rising, that’s when we saw a big narrative change,” she said. “You saw Fox News going crazy. ‘We’ve got to get everyone vaccinated.’ Sean Hannity: ‘We’ve got to get everybody vaccinated.'”
“You know what that has to do with? “Wall Street!” Greene remarked. “Vaccines, guess what? People that have gotten vaccines are getting COVID again, testing positive. So here’s what will work. We have to fight this government out of controlling our lives. They want full control because if they can shut you down if they can force you to vaccinate your kids, they can force you to vaccinate at work, at school, at church, and wear masks again, they’re controlling you and that’s how America becomes a communist country.”

Kevin McCarthy took Pelosi’s bait and pulled the rest of his members from the Jan. 6 investigation.
The investigation will now go forward beginning next week without any of the anticipated grandstanding, speechifying, and pandering to Trump that we might have expected. And Cheney’s participation serves to make a bipartisan quorum. A committee room filled with cameras pointing at fact witnesses without a single Trump vassal present to muddy the waters is a great outcome.
By allowing himself to be quietly muted and out-maneuvered by Pelosi and Cheney, McCarthy once again proves his weakness and incompetence. And in so doing, pushes his caucus further to the extreme margins of American political irrelevancy.

The question forced him off topic and he vamps by blaming law enforcement for the attacks.

Please everyone, take note here.
This is not Bob trolling, at least not this part of his comment. This particular statement is not Bob teasing out some random obscure nugget intending to “trigger”. This is a “conservative” Republican offering a standard expression of his core “understanding” of events as context.
Now think a bit about what that says, not so much about Bob. But about Republicans and “conservatives”. They are saying, that it is their settled understanding, that a global conspiracy was entered into involving a former Vice President, and the People’s Republic of China to create a deadly global pandemic killing millions (not incidentally thousands of Chinese party officials) and ruining the global economy simply in order to damage the political prospects of a term-limited U.S. President who at the time was undergoing impeachment and was cratering in the polls.
I’m not asking you to consider the plausibility of any of that. It’s absurd, obviously. What we need to notice and understand about it is the act of will it would require for any rational, cognitively competent person to accept this as their settled understanding of events. And that this is an act of will being driven by sadness, fear, humiliation, and a deep sense of loss. It’s a form of madness. And what we have to realize and accept is that we will never talk such people out of their madness.

Just as awful is how this makes it obvious that like Bob and most Republicans, Sen. Cancun is unable to see efforts to prevent carnage and tragedy as anything other than a political conspiracy targeting them.
This is not a phase. This is how things are now. It isn’t getting better unless Republicans are destroyed.

Disputes among neighbors frequently involve the police. Quite often there is alcohol involved. Just as often there’s history. I’m sure it’s one of the most depressing aspects of what is an otherwise mind-numbingly boring job. But what ought to stand out here is the remarkably cursory nature of the investigation before the lead cop goes full ballistic.
And just as obvious is the fact that lead cop knows he’s fucked, because he stages the scene. BTW that is not a “machete”. This is a machete. That’s a saw bone from a largetooth sawfish.
The cop is fucked. He’s fired (very deservedly). He’s facing a felony charge. And that may go south if the old man dies. As it is Mr. Clark is in a skilled nursing facility circling the drain thanks to Officer Killology.
You should be asking yourself why the lead cop abruptly terminates his inquiries, and proceeds to pounding on the old man’s door, cocked-and-locked? Look at his demeanor. He’s uncomfortable and stressed as fuck. Why? This shit is routine police work. Very, very routine. And he totally hates it. It makes him uncomfortable to encounter sobbing drunks late at night in close proximity. It makes him uncomfortable having to listen to their shit. He just wants the call over with as quickly as possible and he (stupidly) does what he thinks will make that happen.
This is why policing in America is broken.
This call and calls like it should not be handled by police.
We need to get rid of about half of them. They don’t want to do this work anyway. They shouldn’t mind it. We’d all be much safer. And Mr. Clark would still be sleeping peacefully at his home tonight.
Police just don’t do what you think they do.

Middle Age Riot@middleageriot
Things that actually piss me off (as opposed to just shaking my head and shrugging).
“CRT strong bad!” (even if you have no fucking idea what CRT is.)
Whelp, here’s a lesson.
Critical Race Theory is related to Social Theory, which has it’s origins/heyday in the 1930s through 1950s as academics and social theorists sought to explain the collapse of nascent democracies after World War I. It’s sort of what people are talking about when they talk about “institutional” racism or whatever. It’s the general idea that systems define a society as much as, or more than beliefs or laws. And the word “system” needs to be understood very broadly. It means things like norms, culture, habits, stories, ideas, biases – just about everything that we don’t “think” about. “This is water” if you’re a David Foster Wallace fan (I am not so much).
Why is this on my mind (why am I mad)?
This.
It’s got nothing to do with Trump. Nothing to do with stupid, reckless, senseless gun-humper violence. And really nothing even to do with Kansas.
It’s just because this perfectly illustrates and encapsulates what Social Theory and CRT are about – in real time, in front of us all, unfolding before our very fucking eyes. A prosecutor presented with this fact set and evidence charges only one of the assholes. And he charges him with three B felonies and one C felony for trying to commit mass murder. And while he’s at it, he charges one of the victims with a misdemeanor.
The whole episode is a cluster fuck taking place inside of a burning dumpster. And no matter what else you might conclude about it, it is all about the WHITENESS of the two gun-humpers. CRT is real. It should be taught in middle school. Because that’s the only way I can see that we don’t end up raising another generation of county prosecutors, “journalists” and “neighbors” who do this kind of shit. And that makes me mad – knowing that this isn’t going to chage a goddam thing in Kansas. Or anywhere else.

“Stupid” as in deliberately avoiding contact with facts and the truth. Just being a “doctor” is no armor against being an asshole. Jackson is sincerely surprised to learn that every single House Democrat and all their staffs are vaccinated. And he’s just as surprised to learn that every single Texas state Democratic lawmaker is also vaccinated. Because without even realizing it, but because he’s an asshole, he’s quarantined himself from the basic truth that his entire fucking political party is a degenerate shit-show.
How would he know? He makes the rounds of virulently racist, out-and-proud Nazi podcasters and AM Hate radio personalities and all he encounters are people arguing against life saving vaccination.

And that only the most “relevant” were passed along to lawyers in the Trump White House working on securing the nomination. The FBI did nothing without White House consent.

Looking at the logjam caused by the Lava Fire in CA burning a trestle on Union Pacific’s I-5 Corridor. Looks like PSR doesn’t account for prob.elms like this. Some freight could have been shifted via Bend, but another Fire has managed to disrupt the Inside Gateway. So with the Shasta Route severed while the B and B Gang works round the clock(Overime going to erode the dividends from the recent record earnings), freight is being shifted via the Overland Route, and the Overland has had derailments.
Cuts due to PSR have probably eroded the Extra Boards so UP may not have enough engineers and conductors to handle the detour as traffic bound for the Pacific Northwest is being routed via SLC and Boise. Unlike the B and B Gang, Hours of Service rules apply to Operating crews.

Seriously kids. I really can’t think of anything that would more dramatically affect turnout and base energy in the midterms than a SCOTUS ruling overturning Roe v Wade.
Really fantastic timing. Well played. Very excellent strategureeeee!
Shit, even if the court turns them down, the plain fact is that this case will put the issue into play for the midterms. And that’s just… fucking awesome!

91)Just Wall Street Greed penetrating the railroads. Although PSR was developed by a railroader, not a hedge fund guy who had never been to a yard. At first, there were some benefits, better utilization of assets. It just got too crazy lowering the Operating Ratio, that the bean counters went to extremes. The locomotive builders really have suffered, With locos being mothballed due to power glut.
At least UP hasn’t had an ERCOT Style power outage at Harriman Center in Omaha take out the Network Operations Center. Nebraska has no ERCOT, they have more Public Power than us.
There is one resident of Omaha that owns the competition, but they seem to be the only Class I not to go all in on PSR. Then again, what does a Billionaire that lives in a modest house and drives himself to a Fast Food joint know.

@89 Where was her god in this? Oh, I get it — she’s in a better place. Under six feet of dirt.
My sympathies to her family and friends. It’s very sad, doubly so because it was avoidable.
@92 If you want to overturn Roe v. Wade, you probably want to enlist the best lawyer and make the best possible argument.
I’m not sure Mississippi’s AG is that lawyer, or her brief filed Thursday is any good (I haven’t read it yet), but you can read it here if interested.
I skimmed it enough to know she’s arguing the Roe v. Wade court was wrong about there being a constitutional right to privacy, which I’ve always thought was the most logical, best reasoned, and most persuasive part of the Roe v. Wade opinion.
Think they will vette beer judge now. So we can know rhe truth?
96,
No.
But Wray should be removed for having played along in a political scheme. It is not the job of the FBI to offer political cover for the President, the Senate Majority Leader, and their party cronies to assist them in railroading through a court nominee.
Given the limitations being placed upon the investigation it was the Director’s duty to decline to participate and to issue an investigative report to the committee that fully disclosed all of the conditions, limitations, and interference by the White House Counsel and the Leader. Instead, the Director oversaw and approved of the FBI issuing a falsified report to the committee. And when members of the committee exercised their constitutionally authorized mandate to inquire, the Director delayed his response in order to protect the political interests of the White House and the Senate GOP.
Our democracy can’t function with a politically partisan FBI Director. Especially not right now. He has to go.
