Wednesday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Wednesday, 8/3/22, 8:01 am

Results! The Democrat will face off against the Republicans who voted for impeachment (but are still very much Republicans). The legislature looks more promising than it did. Maybe Democrats can even gain seats. We’ll have to see when the final results trickle in. And of course, we’ll still have to win in November.

Anyway, for goodness sake, wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

    Put your client on the stand and here’s a question from opposing counsel I’m willing to bet every attorney who ever lived would die to hear asked:

    Did you know 12 days ago your attorney’s messed up and sent me an entire digital copy of your entire cell phone with every text message you’ve sent for the past 2 years? And when informed did not take any steps to identify it as privilege?

    Bankston then went on for more than thirty agonizing minutes displaying in painstaking detail every instance during this damages trial in which defendant Jones lied to the jury about the contents of his text messages.

    Plaintiff atty to Jones:
    “You know what perjury is, right?”
    Judge to Jones:
    “Mr. Jones, I know it’s hard, but I know you can do it.”

    Jones begins to tremble and choke. Tells judge he has a problem with his throat.

    The most impressive thing about Bankston’s cross of Jones was the discipline.

    There’s a movie trope where a really evil bad guy finally gets stabbed to death by their previously helpless victim. In the post-modern version the broken victim pulps the bad guy’s entire chest and continues stabbing trance-like until someone pulls them away. The audience is supposed to be reminded that there is nothing noble about survival, and that all death is tragic and senseless.

    A good attorney has the discipline to know when to stop stabbing.
    You want that jury to retire to deliberate with a noble sense of purpose.

    @8 I’m thinking Jones never intended or expected to win anything in court. His entire gameplan is hiding and shielding assets subject to the judgment he knows is coming.

    What comes next, of course, is plaintiffs’ lawyers showing the bankruptcy judge photos of Jones living in fancy digs and driving expensive cars while claiming to be broke.

    If the object is to punish him by making him live in low-rent digs and live on macaroni and meatloaf, the judge in this trial could compress the whole process by holding him in contempt and sentencing him to six months in jail for every lie he’s told under oath, to be served consecutively.

    Most recent July voter registration numbers for Kansas have 495,574 registered Democrats out of 1,929,972 total.

    It’s just barely over 25%.

    We won’t get finalized counts for a few weeks yet. But it appears that a new record has been set for a midterm primary. In fact, if the numbers hold up, the total turnout for this midterm primary will surpass all other midterm general elections save 2018 (another bad year for the GOP). And there’s a chance this might even surpass that. About 300,000 votes were cast before election day (also record), and 58% of those were cast by women.

    Huh. Maybe turnout counts.

    No, ya dumb twat. Yer never right.

    Don’t tell us it would surprise y’all, YLB, to learn that Congress gave itself bennies not available to Jane Public.

    However, taxpayers might be unaware of tax-free “death gratuity” payments made to the heirs of members who pass away while serving in office. The amount is equal to their annual salary, which is $174,000 for rank-and-file members but more for those in leadership positions. The benefit is not a matter of law but has been provided as a tradition dating back well over a century.

    Since 2000, Congress has bestowed 32 death gratuity payments costing taxpayers $5 million in total.[1] Among the recipients were heirs of late members with net worth estimated in millions of dollars. This raises questions about the necessity of this outlay, especially given the record level of deficits.
    …
    In total, Congress has spent more than $5.1 million in taxpayer dollars on death gratuities over the last two decades or so. These payments have been made without regard to the financial status of the families of the late members. Not all the members were wealthy, but payments were granted to the families of several Representatives or Senators with net worths estimated in the millions, including:

    Senator Ted Kennedy (net worth from $45 million to $150 million[4]);
    Senator Frank Lautenberg ($56.8 million[5]);
    Senator John McCain ($16 million[6]);
    Representative Tom Lantos ($6.5 million[7]); and
    Representative Paul Gillmor ($6.2 million[8]).

    Just how extreme and out of step with America is the GOP right now?

    They drove conservative, heartland, Kansas voters to AFFIRM access to abortions.

    To any partisan political junkie, on either side of the divide, this might be hard to process. But remember that, even in a primary like this vote in Kansas, a majority of the people voting are not that tuned in to policy details, pending legislation, legislative records, or lawmaker showdowns, and can’t even name their own representative. They know how much they paid for gas last week and this week. They know if they got a pay bump or a WARN notice. They know if their 401k is gaining or losing.

    When you see significant percentages of these normal voters step outside of those normal expectations it means there are concerns beyond the normal kitchen table issues that have grabbed their attention. Abortion access is on the ballot this November. I sincerely hope Republicans continue to lie to themselves about this. But every Democrat in every race needs to center it in their campaign immediately.

    Abortion access is on the ballot this November.

    Well, it was on the ballot last night, anyway. Because there was a specific question, put to the people, that involved abortion and only abortion.

    This November, abortion access is on the ballot in the same way that the economy, inflation, interest rates, mask mandates, and school choice are on the ballot.

    Would anyone want to see where abortion stands among all of the other competing concerns that American voters have this year?

    QoS McHillbilly needs y’all to believe that it’s abortion and only abortion. It’s not. It’s woke silliness vs. redneck craziness, too. But most of all it’s the economy.

    Probably not in exactly the same way.

    And with markets rising, gas prices falling, mask mandates a memory (thanks to President Joe), and “school choice” permanently given “Karen-Quotes”, it might be a useful exercise to inquire which candidates those concerns favor.

    Especially when some of those candidates from one particular party are clinically insane. People demonstrating peacefully to prevent the giddy sport-murder of unarmed Black men by Roid-raging racist cops is not equivalent to an armed mob attack on Congress to overturn an election.

    Not exactly. It could trickle down into candidate races if your party’s candidates keep talking about executing doctors and women.

    And Indiana’s Republican attorney general’s persecution of a doctor who performed a legal abortion on a 10-year-old rape victim and properly reported it to Indiana child welfare authorities is providing the entire nation with an example of what can happen if voters vote for the wrong candidate.

    Then I thought, no, Ron Johnson isn’t smart enough to think in such terms. He’s one of those simple people who mean exactly what they say. For example, when he calls rioters chanting “Hang Mike Pence!” tourists, that’s what he thinks they are. And if a mob of senior citizens yelled “Hang Ron Johnson!” he’d believe they really mean it.

    “I’ve noticed a general rise in illiteracy ever since Republicans began taking over education.”

    That is the primary Republican strategy to maintain their presence as a Political Party. The only way they can be elected, is to play to the least intelligent and educated parts of the population. This is why they present people like Marjorie Greene and Herschel Walker as candidates for office.

    One thing I notice right off the bat, is that the people commenting on the videos (go read the comments, they’re High-Sterical) are either bots or functionally illiterate, and have no understanding of what this particular proceeding is, nor do they even how a Court functions in the real world, even at the most basic level.

    CBO: Over 90 Percent of Promised Deficit Reduction in Manchin–Schumer Would Come after 2026

    But the way the bill is structured, the spending increases occur immediately, while the claimed savings take time to take effect — exactly the sort of “shell games” Manchin warned about last year when he blasted Democrats for not considering the permanent cost of expanding government programs (as this bill does with Obamacare).

    Of the $305 billion in promised deficit savings over the next decade, CBO says just $21 billion will be coming over the next five years, when we’re in the midst of a historic inflation crisis, while the remaining 93 percent of the claimed savings won’t come until after 2026. Whatever else may be said about the bill, the idea that it will help address the current inflation problem is absurd.

    Y’all are gonna have to rename the bill. Something like “Hand More Taxpayer Money To Deathfrogg ’cause He Can’t Hold A Job Act”.

    From Politico:

    How Ruth Bader Ginsburg Will Have The Last Laugh on Samuel Alito
    The Dobbs decision is clearing the political ground for a resolution in favor of abortion rights.

    When Kelo was decided, the Court strongly suggested that states take matters into their own hands to prevent further unfair takings of private property by local governments under a perverted interpretation of eminent domain. Forty-seven states did just that.

    With Dobbs, the Court has mandated that states take matters into their own hands if they wish to preserve abortion rights.

    Kansas was first. RBG has nothing to laugh at, and Alito has no reason to feel snubbed. Alito has every reason to believe that the responses by states to Dobbs will be even bigger than their responses to Kelo.

    But the chances are probably 100% that he left fingerprints all over the bankruptcy fraud on his phone. Which means his petition will be deemed fraudulent and denied. And it even raises a faint risk that he and his mother and father could be charged with criminal fraud.

    No Republicans will vote to save the planet, reduce deficits, make tax cheaters pay what they owe, negotiate Medicare drug prices, or extend health care subsidies, because they’re scum.

    111,
    17% still out.

    Here’s the real problem for you.
    Even if she pulls it out you have to realize what that will mean. Kent with Trump’s support and backing will call the race stolen, corrupt, and “rigged by the Derp State globalists and Lizard People, blah, blah, yowp, weeeee!”

    He’ll file lawsuits and organize “patriots” to drive Trump flag convoys around Clark County right through fair season and into Octoberfest. And 30,000 GOP base voters will sit November out in protest.

    @108 Biden didn’t ban rainbows from first-graders’ school lunch boxes.

    Saying Biden and DeSantis are the same is silly, doc. But you seem like the type who’d vote for someone who’s against pinning up rainbows in little kids’ classrooms.

    But if you think Biden and DeSantis are the same, why do you have a problem with Biden? After all, you seem to like DeSantis, so why wouldn’t you like Biden, too? Are you against rainbows?

    Just asking, dumbass.

    Close, but Orban left out “fascist”.

    The Recount
    @therecount

    Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán describes how he thinks “leftist media” will cover his speech at Texas CPAC:

    “I can already see tomorrow’s headlines, ‘Far-Right, European Racist and Anti-Semite, Strong Man, Trojan Horse of Putin, Holds Speech at Conservative Conference.’”

    The only good fascist is a dead fascist.

    @115 “Far-Right, European Racist and Anti-Semite, Strong Man, Trojan Horse of Putin”

    Yep, that about covers it, except for “Fascist.”

    And American conservatives love it. Every bit of it. Especially the unspoken fascist part.

    Rogue county clerk Tina Peters lost the GOP primary for Colorado secretary of state by over 88,000 votes. She ponied up $256K for a recount, mostly from out-of-state supporter(s). She got 23 more votes. Unfortunately for her, the winner got 24 more votes. Therefore, her supporter(s) paid over a quarter million dollars for her to fall 1 vote farther behind. These people are nothing if not stupid; or, at least, shitty investors. I wonder if the money came from MyPillow Guy.

    117,
    She didn’t pony up shit. Daddy Twump is funding all of these election challenges.

    Even odds she violated campaign finance laws.

    Perhaps we could trade the low IQ Nazi traitor and MTG to Russia for Brittney Griner. After all, they both love Putin and he loves them.
