Instead, Turley intends to use his time on the stand to attack the past impeachment of former President Donald Trump. (of course)
“The purpose of my testimony today is to discuss how past inquiries pursued evidence of potentially impeachable conduct,” the statement continues.

NEW: Frustration in the GOP over 1st impeachment hearing, as the GOP witnesses undercut their narrative &say no evidence of crimes.
“Picking witnesses that refute House Republicans arguments for impeachment is mind blowing. This is an unmitigated disaster,” said senior R aide.— Melanie Zanona (@MZanona) September 28, 2023

re: #362 Hecuba’s daughter
Got Covid shot on Tuesday and had no reactions whatsoever; had the flu shot last Friday, again with no reactions. Haven’t decided yet about RSV.
I still can’t get the shots.
The only immunizations available to me are supposed to be at one Walgreens in Scottsbluff and another in Sterling, Colorado.
The Colorado place already said they won’t vaccinate people from out-of-state due to shortages, and the Scottsbluff place says they don’t know if they’ll ever get it.
re: #359 Hecuba’s daughter
I’m a fan of “Call me Raja” and have contributed to his campaign — but really think that sometimes witnesses should be able to complete their sentences or explain the technicalities of their position. Issues are often more complex than a simple yes or no.
They were yes or no questions, and the witnesses were grandstanding to get clips on FOX.
Nope. That was the correct way to deal with the questions.
“Did you write an op-ed supporting polygamy and paedophilia” is a yes-or-no question. Let a Republican ask if they want nuance for that.
was listening to PSA on my way in and Veitor (I think), made the point that polls in Iowa and New Hampshire are saying that 80% of Republican primary voters are at least open to someone other than Trump. If that really is the case, it makes the performances last night even worse.
They didn’t even feel like a JV team, it was like a Freshman team. You’d think they’d have at least one governor on the bench that didn’t look like they were created by ChatGPT

Turley testified that there’s nothing impeachable here, and that nothing here rises to the standard of impeachment. Nothing even to investigate - nothing the GOP profers supports impeachment.

It seems that there’s more than a few musicians that purposefully lean into politicizing their concerts, but that seems limiting the audience, rather than seeking wider audience. I don’t get that.

re: #42 jaunte
Beats me what she was getting at since those seditious treasonweasels were convicted in courts of law and sentenced far less harshly than the sentencing guidelines recommend, let alone what prosecutors wanted. They got slaps on the wrist as compared to the magnitude of the crime (or the rhetoric of the judges when sentencing about the severity of the crime and the historic nature of what they were involved in).
They were investigated, indicted, tried, and sentenced in courts of law. A bunch took plea deals rather than face trial. Almost to a person, they got less than what they should have gotten.
If she’s bitching about quality of prison life, seek to reform the entire criminal justice system and make it more humane, but thinking that 1/6 defendants are political prisoners is just more gibberish from the seditious treasonweasel who also helped try to overthrow the government.

Trump already lost his motion to get Chutkan to recuse. He’s now trying a few other things to delay the trial, but with the gag order ruling set to come down tomorrow, it’s likely Chutkan is going to deny the Trump motions, and could in fact accelerate the trial. She should also sanction Trump and his lawyers for violating the bail conditions.

re: #45 lawhawk
The rule with this type of person is just to ignore what they claim they’re saying and attend to how their words unintentionally reveal their ideology. In this case…MTG’s anger is precisely because she believes people are not equal and that the law should behave entirely differently to account for that hierarchy of superior and inferior types.
Jan 6th protestors should not be jailed at all, should not be subject to discomfort in prison, precisely because they are the superior kind. Her outrage is that their convictions represent some kind of equality before the law, that any kind of accountability is a slippery slope to actual equality. To improve conditions for other imprisoned people, or to question the nature of harsh sentences for other crimes, is to stand against the right and natural hierarchy.
Because she’s the product of American enculturation, her language borrows from a pre-existing set of rhetorical heuristics that speak in terms of rights and dignity and equality—the things invoked in the rhetoric of American politics—but, much like slave holders and segregationists and supporters of owning the Philippines before her, all invocations of these notions come with the implicit understanding that these things should not be universal.

Meanwhile, the House GOP rushes headlong into a government shutdown because the seditionist/obstructionist/sabotaging GOP can’t help themselves and think a shutdown helps them (even though GOP states would likely disproportionately suffer because of things like national parks shutting down and all the tourism dollars related to that going away, transfer payments held up, and servicemembers and law enforcement not getting paid). Heck, the GOP are also out to defund law enforcement and border security, and DHS and CBP wouldn’t get paid either.

Democrats are openly daring Comer to hold the vote on impeaching Biden, because they know the GOP can’t do it - there’s nothing to it, and if they cross that bridge, the GOP admits they’re burning down democracy to cover for Trump.

One amusing take via the New Yorker from last night’s debacle:
Midway through the debate, the moderator Dana Perino asked a good question (not her only one) of former Vice-President Pence. “You said last month that if elected you would repeal all Obamacare mandates,” Perino said. “However, you made that same promise in 2016.” Why, Perino asked, was this time any different?
Pence, whose defiance of Trump on January 6th had earned him a reputation as a man of honor in the field, said, “Well, first let me speak to the mass-shootings issue.” And so rather than explain why Obamacare was still the law of the land if he’d had the power to repeal it, Pence explained that the solution to mass shootings was to expedite the death penalty, so that anyone found guilty of a mass shooting would face execution in “months, not years.”
Perino waited this barbarity out. Then she said shrewdly, “Does this mean Obamacare is here to stay?” The crowd laughed and clapped, because she was right. It probably is. ♦

Biden has never delivered a more important, powerful or eloquent speech than the one he has just given about the crucial importance of protecting American democracy.
Watch, listen, read.— Michael Beschloss (@BeschlossDC) September 28, 2023
Biden in his speech on threats to democracy: Hardly any Republicans call out the violent, extremist rhetoric from the MAGA movement. Their silence is deafening. Democracy doesn’t have to die at the end of a rifle. It can die when people are silent.

Oh, I should note that, besides being such a non-relevant statement to most American travelers, the “trains all ran on time” must only apply to coal and oil trains (if even that’s the case). Amtrak’s Empire Builder across ND is notorious for being late as the freight trains have priority on the tracks (and snow, so much blowing snow).
It isn’t just the Empire Builder. I did a loop last year starting on the Coast Starlight to Seattle (4 hours late), the Empire Builder to Chicago (6 hours late), and the California Zephyr to Emeryville (5 hours late). We were always being shunted aside while a freight train barreled by.

We’re holding off until after MrBWS’s cardiologist appointment on Tuesday.
It’s a followup to his nuclear stress test on 9/21.
It’s been 5 years since his bypass surgery and he’s never had a stress test. Cardiologist wanted it done before handing him off to our primary care provider.
MrBWS claims he failed his stress test because he only lasted a little over 4 minutes on the treadmill part of the test (they wanted him to go a full 5 minutes but his legs gave out) and his heart rate never got anywhere near what they wanted, despite all of his huffing and puffing and moaning and groaning.
We’re back from town. The county extracted $360 in sales tax on our car.
A retirement party was going on in the office opposite the treasurer’s office, and the county sheriff was there.
I stepped in to ask about my transit tag which is expiring today and can’t be renewed. What happens when I get the title in the mail, since I have to drive the car over to the sheriff’s office to have the VIN inspected before I can get license plates.
He said don’t worry about it, just drive it in. If I am worried about it, the sheriff will send the deputy out to my house to inspect the VIN for a $10 fee.

my people (both Irish and the German/Slovak/Austrian Empire sides) generally die of #1: heart attacks; #2: alcoholism; #3: strokes/cerebral hemorrhages.
Go further back to my great-grands and further back, and then you see things like liver cancer for my great-great-grandma in 1909 (probably due to a love of wine since she came from the wine region of Germany); tuberculosis and other lung diseases (several Irish great-grand uncles died of that in Buffalo at the turn of the century, they were all motormen), other stuff I’m still uncovering.

Concern that Italy’s supervolcano might go off.
Earthquakes hit Italy super volcano, raising spectre of evacuations (Reuters, September 27, 2023)
ROME, Sept 27 (Reuters) - A leading volcanologist has warned that mass evacuations might be needed in a town close to Naples, which sits on a so-called Super Volcano that has been hit by hundreds of small earthquakes in recent weeks.
A 4.2 magnitude earthquake struck the area early on Wednesday, the strongest jolt in 40 years to rattle the volcanic field, known as the Campi Flegrei or Phlegraean Fields from the Greek word for burning.
Campi Flegrei sits across the bay of Naples from Pompeii, where thousands were incinerated by Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. However, it is a much bigger volcano than Vesuvius and if it ever exploded at full force could kill millions.
Experts say there is no imminent threat of an eruption, but Giuseppe De Natale, the former head of the Vesuvius observatory at the National Institute for Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), called for urgent checks on buildings after repeated seismic activity that is pushing up the ground by 1.5 cm (0.59 inches) a month.
Speaking in a personal capacity, De Natale said the last time Campi Flegrei suffered a similar burst of earthquakes in the 1980s, some 40,000 people were temporarily evacuated from nearby Pozzuoli. The town now has a population of more than 80,000.
“Currently, I believe the more immediate risk is seismic. But it is clear that one must also consider the possibility of an eruption,” he told Reuters.

The heart disease is lots of time due to diet, but sometimes it’s just genetic.
My sister, a year younger than me, had a massive heart attack eight years ago and the surgeon couldn’t do the full multi-bypass, so she has heart damage, but she’s still with us!
She also is now part of a Duke University because she apparently has a genetic mutation that has something to with statins not working as expected:
I know our mom (92 yo) has bad reactions to statins. The rest of us are just doing the best we can.
