Motions in limine have been filed with the NYS Supreme Court hearing the Trump campaign finance fraud case (aka Stormy Daniels payoff). This is a series of motions where the parties try to set the bounds and metes of admissible evidence to be considered.

It’s zero surprise that Trump wants to exclude essentially everything - from testimony by Daniels, Cohen, and to exclude the use of the phrase “catch and kill.” For their part, the Manhattan DA wants excluded Trump claims of conspiracy and selective prosecution, among others. Trump wants to exclude the Access Hollywood video and Rudy’s statements, as well as the DA’s main theory of the case.

I suspect that Trump will be highly disappointed by the outcome of the judge’s ruling on the matter.

I heard the Schumer and Jeffries press blitz after the meeting with POTUS,MVP, McConnell and maga Mike. They were pretty damn passionate about how intense the meeting was. Sounds like everyone including McConnell was giving Mike the business.

Then Mike came out and spewed absolute nonsense… without McConnell…so it’s apparent he’s not a serious person. Discharge petition or bust… for everything through the election.

I’m glad for you that the replacements were relatively pain-free: I don’t, unfortunately, have a lot of optimism for Mrs. Jay: the Ehlers-Danlos has really messed with the connective tissues in her shoulder (and never mind the bone deterioration): EDS really fucks with orthopedic-surgical solutions: she/we gave up on that program several years ago (after a dozen or so surgeries that, ultimately, had little effect due to the tissue instability) - the shoulder, though, is getting super bad, so we will likely HAVE to do something. And, unfortunately, rather soon

Calvin University President Resigns Over ‘Inappropriate’ Messages

The president of Calvin University has stepped down after he “engaged in unwelcome and inappropriate communication and attention toward a non-student member of the campus community,” the school’s board of trustees announced Monday afternoon.

Wiebe Boer, a former Shell oil executive, was appointed in March 2022 to the top job at the private Christian institution—formerly Calvin College—in Grand Rapids, Michigan. When the administration “recently” received a report of alleged unseemly behavior by Boer, it “immediately engaged outside experts” to investigate, the board said in a statement, highlighting its commitment to comply with “our policy and legal requirements, including Title IX.”

“The report did not include allegations of sexually explicit communication or physical contact, but the alleged conduct is concerning and inappropriate,” the statement said.

That sounds awfully tough. My best wishes for the best outcome possible, whatever that is. I have a young friend (age 30), who has Ehlers-Danlos and is also deaf. She is amazing how much work she gets through, but I worry about her overdoing things. She is brilliant, and is helping me with a bunch of computer projects.

Brother update: He saw the podiatry specialist and “no surgery today.” The options are still surgery or 6 weeks of vancomycin infusions (or, surgery plus weeks of vanco infusions). The decision will be made after a consult with a radiologist, not sure when. So he’s in a holding pattern. I’m going to stop by later; he requested that I go feed his bird and then bring Chapstick because the hospital is dry, dry, dry.

Lara Logan: Christianity trumps Native Americans’ beliefs because ‘they just didn’t win’

If you want to compactly understand American conservatism and it’s constant transformation of it’s own canon, this sums it up: belief is just a power struggle.

There’s no room for epistemology in this worldview: truth is what you make can make true, which explains no only their contempt for everyone else’s beliefs—and their core proposal that the world can be “fixed” by simply letting them punish everyone gloves-off*—but also their constant deformation of their own beliefs.

* in all seriousness, consider how often conservatives assert that the real problem is just a lack of brutality. This extends across all foreign and domestic relations. Suffering and death are not an externality of utilitarian decisions, but cauterization.

Your young friend is lucky, at least, that she’s living at the present time:
My wife had been suffering from various physical problems for some time, but wasn’t *formally* (and “officially”) diagnosed with EDS until she was nearly 50 (she’s 74 now); long story; but Official Medical Science long clung to an outdated and inadequate template for diagnoses of EDS (ninety years: Ehlers and Danlos first formally described the syndrome in 1907). Knowing that one has the disease is the most important first step in dealing with it: and the damage CAN - with proper lifestyle adjustments - be mitigated in the long run. Too late for the older victims, but that’s “progress” for you….

Josh and the TPM Gang strike gold again!

Who Paid For Sarah Sanders’ Six Figure Super Bowl Extravaganza?

talkingpointsmemo.com

Taylor Swift was not the only high profile Kansas City chiefs fan to enjoy incredible access to the Super Bowl in Las Vegas earlier this month. Like the pop megastar, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) watched the game from a luxury suite and celebrated on the field. However, unlike Swift, who is dating one of the team’s star players and broke all kinds of records with her ongoing multibillion dollar tour, it’s not quite clear how (or if) Sanders and her family paid for tickets to the most expensive football game of all time.

So, TPM set out to figure out just how exactly the governor ended up with such exclusive access to such an exclusive event. Chasing Sanders’ splashy Super Bowl trip was a confounding journey. A combination of brazen spending, stonewalling from the governor’s office, and Sanders’ successful efforts to erode transparency laws left us sure of nothing except the fact a state official somehow managed to enjoy a big night out that almost certainly cost more than her annual salary.

On one level, Sanders was not at all shy about her very lavish evening with the victorious Chiefs. She posted a series of smiling pictures on Instagram that suggested an extraordinary amount of access to the game. But when her selfies provoked real questions about the blatantly obvious ethical implications that come along with a civil servant enjoying virtually the same amenities as a billionaire pop star, Sanders and her team shut down.

The easiest way to find out how the Sanders clan ended up on the field at the big game would be simply asking the governor. However, for nearly two weeks, Sanders’ office has not responded to questions from TPM about how much her tickets cost, whether she bought them on her own, or whether she received them as a gift. Her staff also won’t say whether any state resources, such as a plane or security detail, were used for the trip. Sanders also did not answer how she accomplished any official business for the people of Arkansas by cheering on a team from another state.

Criswell Bacon predicts that Josh and the TPM Posse gonna find out who paid for Smokey Eyes Shindig!

The speaker made “unequivocally” clear that he wants to avoid even a partial closure that’s set to happen Saturday at midnight, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said.”

He’s a lying POS and I would not believe a single word or commitment from him. He will do anything and everything to undermine Biden, Ukraine, or our nation. If he actually does keep his word, I will make a formal apology here and wherever else I post about my certainty of his betrayal.

The only thing they can reproduce is institutions that permanently punish people to keep them compliant, and as time passes all the supposed justifications for punishment shift while the license to punish remains consistent.

For example…they are obsessed with controlling and harming children because limiting what children can think and be is a very effective method of altering meaning, but that need for total milieu control cannot ever end: the future is just more and more refined coercion, with a constant stream of externalities, mostly in the form of abused and dead children.

Which is consistent with their policies—infliction of harm is what is preserved, even when harm is unproductive relative to the specific problem being solved.

When there seem to be contradictions or hypocrisy in conservative thought, it is because they’re just canny enough to not explicitly say that they believe in nothing but power…but when we look at their choices the best framework to understand them is just…power.

Admittedly I’m an obsessive, but I think it’s really important to keep pointing out that the standard language of politics, and the stated beliefs of political actors, obfuscate attempts to clearly understand what is being done and what is being proposed. The completeness of the bad faith—that abuse of power is the only real value, and that’s why purportedly-taboo kinds of abuse of power just keep happening because they’re runoff of a general belief in the entitlement of the bodies and minds of others—must be discussed.

Not sure how that would impact US prices, since pretty much all of Europe has cut off imports of Russian petroleum & natural gas after the Ukraine invasion. There was a spike a while back when the Saudis didn’t adjust their production/exports, but had since normalized supply.

It’s a global market. And sometimes markets over react.

re: #1 lawhawk

Motions in limine have been filed with the NYS Supreme Court hearing the Trump campaign finance fraud case (aka Stormy Daniels payoff). This is a series of motions where the parties try to set the bounds and metes of admissible evidence to be considered.

It’s zero surprise that Trump wants to exclude essentially everything - from testimony by Daniels, Cohen, and to exclude the use of the phrase “catch and kill.” For their part, the Manhattan DA wants excluded Trump claims of conspiracy and selective prosecution, among others. Trump wants to exclude the Access Hollywood video and Rudy’s statements, as well as the DA’s main theory of the case.

I suspect that Trump will be highly disappointed by the outcome of the judge’s ruling on the matter.

It would be surprising if any judge were to move to exclude actual evidence, so yeah, the testimony & supporting documentation are likely to survive. The Access tape may be gone. Rudy’s statements are probably in.

As for the conspiracy & selective prosecution, if there is a shred of evidence to support, I could see a judge letting some of that in, if only to prevent an easy appeal point. Mostly, that is going to be Trump screeching for the cameras every day.

Trump is his own worst enemy in these court cases. Like a vicious toddler, he wants his lawyers to yell the things that he cares about, as though his wounded feelings were somehow the equivalent of documented evidence and sworn testimony.

Okay, for some context, Sri Lanka had granted Russians and to a lesser extent Ukrainians extensions on visas because of flight cancellations in the chaos after the Russian invasion.

They used the actions of self entitled twats who were violating Sri Lankan law including illegally operating businesses as an excuse to stop granting extensions.

The Russian Embassy in Colombo put out a ridiculous press release about the whites-only party talking about there being “ambiguous entry conditions”, and that Russia was the most anti-racist country, as evidenced by its “Special Military Operation” in Ukraine.

If they aren’t going to export any, then it will affect the world supply, unless other countries decide to make up the deficit. Russia has been shipping plenty of oil to China and India where it is refined and much of it reenters the world market because that evades the sanctions.

Tucker Carlson Claims Lawyers Warned Biden Administration Would Arrest Him If He Gave Putin Softball Interview

Anyone believing this liar?

mediaite.com

Tucker Carlson is claiming some pricey attorneys advised him that he could be arrested if he chose to jet off to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In a three hour podcast with Lex Fridman, Carlson jumped to a number of topics, one of which was his controversial interview with Putin earlier this month. While Carlson pushed Putin on several subjects like the unjust imprisonment of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, his interview faced a lot of backlash and was described as softball by critics, including Putin himself.

Carlson also earned mockery for praising Russia’s grocery stores and public transit. He called a trip to the grocery store “radicalizing.”

“Andrew Nickels threatened that he and millions of so-called ‘patriots’ would kill an election worker in Michigan. Among other threats, he said the local public official deserved a ‘throat to the knife’ for saying that there were no irregularities in the election,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Nicole M. Argentieri of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. “Election officials and workers play a critical role in safeguarding free and fair elections. The Criminal Division will continue to aggressively investigate and prosecute individuals who seek to undermine this core tenet of our democracy by threatening election officials with violence.”

According to court documents, on or about Nov. 10, 2020, Andrew Nickels, 37, of Carmel, called the clerk of a local municipality and left a voicemail threatening to kill the local official. As part of the message, Nickels stated, in part, “We’re watching your…mouth talk about how you think that there’s no irregularities…[Y]ou frauded out America of a real election.” Nickels then told the clerk that “you’re gonna pay for it,” and described how “ten million plus patriots will surround you when you least expect it.” He continued, in relevant part: “[W]e’ll [expletive] kill you…[Y]ou will [expletive] pay for your [expletive] lying ass remarks…We will [expletive] take you out. [Expletive] your family, [expletive] your life, and you deserve a [expletive] throat to the knife…Watch your [expletive] back…watch your [expletive] back.”

don’t focus on our age, focus on the age of our ideas. Trump wants to take you back to the 40s.

Yeah, there was a time when you told us not to lead off every thread with “Fuck Donald Trump” because you thought maybe that was why you were getting flagged.

It’s a global market. And sometimes markets over react shit themselves.

Markets are ruled by two emotions: greed and fear.

Or, most likely in this case, a combination of both.

Tucker Carlson Claims Lawyers Warned Biden Administration Would Arrest Him If He Gave Putin Softball Interview

Anyone believing this liar?

mediaite.com

Tucker Carlson is claiming some pricey attorneys advised him that he could be arrested if he chose to jet off to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In a three hour podcast with Lex Fridman, Carlson jumped to a number of topics, one of which was his controversial interview with Putin earlier this month. While Carlson pushed Putin on several subjects like the unjust imprisonment of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, his interview faced a lot of backlash and was described as softball by critics, including Putin himself.

Carlson also earned mockery for praising Russia’s grocery stores and public transit. He called a trip to the grocery store “radicalizing.”

So he’s going to be arrested soon?

If he hasn’t registered as a foreign agent for Russia, he should be.

I dont much care about the apparent ‘hypocrisy’ w/r/t R’s who’ve had IVF, successfully or not, and are now out to ban it.
They are well known for pulling up the ladder after themselves.
But it was a few judges who manufactured the Alabama decision.
And laws do change all the time - sometimes things that were legal, no longer are.
You know, like Roe.

The hypocrisy around Roe is found when speculating whether any hard line supporters had, or financed abortions themselves.

So my question to someone like Pence, who used IVF, is are they still storing their unused ‘embroys’ or were they in fact accomplices to murder (or whatever the ALA court called it) when they (presumably) let their extra ones go?

Or didn’t they see it that way themselves at the time.

Because that, to me would be as much a disqualifier as Herschel Walker’s abortions. (I’da said tfg’s abortions but we know they wouldnt move the needle)

re: #72 Khal Wimpo (free internal organs upon request!)

It would be surprising if any judge were to move to exclude actual evidence, so yeah, the testimony & supporting documentation are likely to survive. The Access tape may be gone. Rudy’s statements are probably in.

As for the conspiracy & selective prosecution, if there is a shred of evidence to support, I could see a judge letting some of that in, if only to prevent an easy appeal point. Mostly, that is going to be Trump screeching for the cameras every day.

Trump is his own worst enemy in these court cases. Like a vicious toddler, he wants his lawyers to yell the things that he cares about, as though his wounded feelings were somehow the equivalent of documented evidence and sworn testimony.

Pigeon Chess moves.
