Donald Trump in San Jose: Violent Protest Outside Rally, Hundreds Clash With Police
Trump 2016, another rally, another riot. This kind of thing is becoming routine. Media attention and the outrage index among his followers may be faltering. A prediction: Trump and his gang will ratchet up the level of violence in response.
In 15 or 20 years, we’ll probably see a retired Secret Service publish his or her memoirs about working the Trump detail. Should be interesting.

These are billing records of an attorney @universityofky paid $1 million. What’s missing? https://t.co/BPwWZJv5Dx pic.twitter.com/XIhWV79gKK
— Bluegrass Politics (@BGPolitics) June 3, 2016
The University of Kentucky has spent more than $5 million in the last year to fix federal billing issues involving a Hazard cardiology practice it acquired three years ago, but UK officials have declined to provide documents detailing problems that led to the payments.
In 2013, UK HealthCare spent $440,000 for the office equipment of Appalachian Heart Center and rented its clinic space in Hazard, Harlan and Hyden. The four physicians of the practice also became adjunct faculty at UK.
But in the past year, UK HealthCare and its billing arm, the Kentucky Medical Services Foundation, have paid $4.1 million to Medicaid and Medicare, and $1 million to David Douglass, a Washington D.C. lawyer who specializes in federal health care issues, to resolve billing issues involving the Hazard cardiology practice.
snip
The board generally holds a dinner meeting the night before their official business meeting. The gatherings are open to the public because a quorum of board members attend, but normally, official business is not conducted.
UK officials have since denied the Herald-Leader’s request for the presentation made by Douglass, saying it is exempt from disclosure under the state Open Records Act because of attorney-client privilege. No minutes of the dinner meeting were kept, UK has said.
UK General Counsel William Thro said that because there were no members of the public or press present, the board did not vote to go behind closed doors to discuss legal issues involving the cardiology practice. One exemption in the state’s Open Meetings Act allows boards to discuss specific pending litigation behind closed doors, but Thro said Thursday there is no pending litigation regarding the Hazard practice.
“There has to be a mechanism for the attorney to communicate with attorney-client privilege to the board leadership and to the entire board,” Thro said. “Otherwise a public body will always be acting with one hand behind their back because they don’t have all the information.”
UK also redacted all details of Douglass’ billing records, except the total prices, from copies provided to the Herald-Leader under the state’s Open Records Act. The university also denied a request for a routine audit that turned up the billing problems in Hazard as well as any audits or other documents that UK did of the clinic before the merger.
This really reeks.

Is This Chelsea Clinton’s Real Father?
If you’ve been even vaguely tuned in to the overactive Hillary Clinton conspiracy mill over the years, you’ve likely heard about the questions of Chelsea Clinton’s paternity. But for those who haven’t, here’s how this song goes: Bill Clinton is sterile, and Chelsea’s real father is Clinton confidant and federal tax evader Webb Hubbell.

I have a friend who lives a couple of counties west of me. He’s a gravedigger and lots of his jobs are done by hand, mostly because lots of our cemeteries are old family cemeteries located in the woods or up a steep hill or other places that don’t have easy vehicle access.
Also, the grave rules here in Kentucky are generally a minimum of 2 feet deep.

Same here.
The more I think about it, the more it looks like Trump’s opponents in the GOP primary were stuck with a political version of trying to square the circle —- i.e. a mathematical impossibility.
Trumpism is merely the current stage of the ongoing degeneration of the Republican party. Therefore there is simply no way to effectively combat Trumpism from a Republican perspective.

In my experience, grad students are the most dangerous people in the lab.
Undergrad Assistants are still pretty tentative, and don’t get a chance to do much damage.
Lab Techs have to fix equipment or get it fixed, so they’re usually pretty careful with it.
Post Docs already made their mistakes as Grad Students and got yelled at.
Professors are rarely in the lab, and when they are, they spend most of their time asking Post Docs and Lab Techs where stuff is.
But Graduate Students combine the lack of experience of Undergrads with an unearned confidence in their knowledge, so they do stuff like pouring LN2 down the sink, or trying to fill a warm-air incubator with water, or not balancing the rotor in the Ultracentifuge, or turning off the vacuum pump without opening the system to atmosphere first so the pump oil gets sucked into the trap.

I agree with you. I wasn’t trying to justify what happened, just putting it in context.
I think the difference we should point out is that both Bernie and Hillary condemn violence, while Trump encourages it.
Violence, regardless of who did it, is not the answer and should be condemned. I don’t give a damn if these fools were retaliating. It’s not cool.

Yes…if a bully tries to take your milk money push back. If you think there’s a chance you’ll get into a fight if you go to an event, you probably need to reevaluate why you’re going. People are going to rallies/protests(depending on which team they’re on) ready to fight and show they can’t be “pushed around.” This only serves to the benefit of the assholes in the crowd.

I think protesters should continue to show up at Trump’s rallies, even if there is a threat of violence. His crypto-Nazi followers need to understand that this isn’t their country.

re: #62 Blind Frog Belly White
In my experience, grad students are the most dangerous people in the lab.
Undergrad Assistants are still pretty tentative, and don’t get a chance to do much damage.
Lab Techs have to fix equipment or get it fixed, so they’re usually pretty careful with it.
Post Docs already made their mistakes as Grad Students and got yelled at.
Professors are rarely in the lab, and when they are, they spend most of their time asking Post Docs and Lab Techs where stuff is.
But Graduate Students combine the lack of experience of Undergrads with an unearned confidence in their knowledge, so they do stuff like pouring LN2 down the sink, or trying to fill a warm-air incubator with water, or not balancing the rotor in the Ultracentifuge, or turning off the vacuum pump without opening the system to atmosphere first so the pump oil gets sucked into the trap.
It was, in fact, a grad student who did that. Before my time.
I was always terrified of somehow screwing up the NMR. You did not want to be the person responsible for that.

re: #13 Backwoods_Sleuth
Shouldn’t really be a surprise that Johnson draws more from disaffected Republicans than from Democrats. Trump has high unfavorables, including among Republicans and Republican leaning Independents. While Clinton also has high unfavorables, she’s well liked by Democrats and Democratic leaning Independents.
I hope we get a few more polls that include Johnson, it would be interesting to see a third person on the debate stage, especially if Trump has an epic meltdown.

Attacking Trump supporters is just dumb.I think probably 90% of the protesters are peaceful, but there is always the anarchist element. And to be fair, most of the Trump supporters just want to see/hear Trump which they have a perfect right to do.
Agreed. You don’t have a right to put your hands on someone just because they are a Trump supporter. I wish the police had been more prominent last night so that any protester acting violently would have been arrested immediately.

Sorry, I’m reposting this from the previous thread.
This column by Richard North Patterson at Huffington Post makes some really good — and frightening — points about Trump’s psychological profile.
Here’s one paragraph:
A belief that you are above the rules. An array of inconsistent statements and behaviors driven by your needs in the moment. An inability to assess the consequences of your actions in new or complex situations. In sum, a total incapacity to separate the world from your own psychodrama.
This column also has an eloquent description of President Obama:
One of the many assets Obama brought to the White House is a peerless dignity and grace.

“This case should have ended years ago.”
He doesn’t realize it but he just admitted the primary flaw in his argument. Trump only started talking about his wall and calling Mexicans rapists a year ago. So that can’t be why the Judge is ruling against him. Trump’s claims that these rulings are unfair are typical of parties who have rulings go against them, and his argument that he’s done things that should have antagonized the court subsequent to the assignment of the Judge are meaningless.
re: #85 Patricia Kayden
No, I had never heard that claim before. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. What a ridiculous claim!
Trump’s house tabloid, the National Enquirer, has been pushing this for years. A while back they claimed to have gotten “touch DNA” samples from both Chelsea and Hubbell and tested them, but the tests were “inconclusive.” They ran a big story for this nothing-burger.
I expect them to run with the story again, probably with a definite claim of a match, a few days before the election. They know, of course, that very few (if any) Hillary voters would change their votes because of this, but it might well galvanize apathetic Trump fans into actually voting.

I’m sorry, but you see her speech as playing Trump’s game? Because she quoted him and put those quotes in the context of how things actually work in FP, and how HIS suggestions would work out?
“Playing Trump’s game” would be trying to do as Rubio did, to attempt to out-insult Trump with irrelevant shit like his hand size, or his hair, or whatever. Campaigns are about contrasting yourself and your ideas with your opponent’s. In each case, she basically said, ‘Here’s what we need, here’s what he’s said, here’s how that would work, and here’s what I have done, and would do.
It wasn’t that it was vicious. It was that it was direct.

One of the things Clinton will need to do in the general election, in addition to pushing her own policy prescriptions, is to make the case that Trump and the Republicans are shitty. There is simply no way to do that without causing both-siderist morons (e.g., most pundits) to have the vapors, which makes their vaporing completely meaningless.

No. I’m not mad because she called him sleazy. I’m just pointing out it’s understandable why some people think she’s being “nasty” when all she’s doing is repeating what Donald said about Immigrants, Muslims, Women, People with Disabilities…the list goes on.
I’m not even criticizing her, really.

re: #96 darthstar
Hell, remember when McCain called Obama “That one!” in a debate? (I made $400 in t-shirt sales by putting “I’m voting for That One” tshirts on Cafepress before the debate ended).
Hmm, we bought a t-shirt with that slogan from CafePress, like the day after the debate. Hope it went to your bank account!
re: #109 goddamnedfrank
He doesn’t realize it but he just admitted the primary flaw in his argument. Trump only started talking about his wall and calling Mexicans rapists a year ago. So that can’t be why the Judge is ruling against him. Trump’s claims that these rulings are unfair are typical of parties who have rulings go against them, and his argument that he’s done things that should have antagonized the court subsequent to the assignment of the Judge are meaningless.
Exactly, but Trump’s supporters are not going to dig into the details to notice that fact. I wish a reporter would confront Trump with that fact while on camera——-I can’t imagine how the Donald would spin that.
re: #131 darthstar
Yeah…that was funny. Old fucker falls asleep. Heh.
Oh, I’m sorry, I’m sure the Republicans would NEVER make an issue out of Bernie looking like a doddering old fool and embarrassing himself at what should be a solemn, patriotic event. Apparently the fact that they’re STILL holding their fire against him on this and myriad other issues (USSR honeymoon, his office encouraging banks to cave into his wife’s loan fraud, 70’s rape essay) hasn’t quite sunk in for you yet. They desperately want to run against him, because as far as the general public is concerned there’s a bunker’s worth of unexpended ammunition to use against him.

No. It’s being lauded for her laying out her foreign policy bona fides while contrasting with Trump’s complete lack of them - by quoting exactly what he has said.
Quoting your political opponent. How positively vicious.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////
At least she is using real quotes instead of misreading an article about Hillary being unqualified for office and running with that in your campaign by one Mr. Bernard Sanders.
But then that is not a low bar…so…
Notice Donald’s podium sign gave up the ghost listening to this speech babble.
re: #133 EPR-radar
One of the things Clinton will need to do in the general election, in addition to pushing her own policy prescriptions, is to make the case that Trump and the Republicans are shitty. There is simply no way to do that without causing both-siderist morons (e.g., most pundits) to have the vapors, which makes their vaporing completely meaningless.
IMO she did exactly what she needed to do yesterday, and I sure hope there is much more of that to come.
Fair enough. I think she could beat him without the vapors-inspiring rhetoric, and hell, we’re talking about Trump here - she SHOULD beat him on qualifications alone.
Trump just cited Chris Stevens’ fiancee as a Trump supporter. She is an ex-fiancee and their relationship ended in 1995.

This kind of stupid both siderism from the media can be understood, since a general election horse race is needed to sell political advertising at the usual rates and volume.
From otherwise intelligent people without a financial interest in a general election horse race, both siderism is inexplicable.

Come on. Her speech yesterday was on ‘qualifications alone’, in a compare and contrast format.
I’m not going to care about Hillary Clinton’s tone unless she uncorks ‘Fuckface von Clownstick’ to Trump’s face in a debate. That probably would be going too far.

I can count on my penis the number of times Obama called Romney ‘sleazy’ in 2012…wait…he didn’t. No, I can’t count them.
This has nothing to do with being ladylike. Hillary is playing Donald’s game and she is very good at it. Some people will use that against her. I would suggest not getting offended by it. She’s an adult. She can take care of herself.
I think you were offended by it the other day.

Hell, remember when McCain called Obama “That one!” in a debate? (I made $400 in t-shirt sales by putting “I’m voting for That One” tshirts on Cafepress before the debate ended). It was an outrage. Now she calls him “sleazy” in a tweet and nobody bats an eye.
When candidates are competent, qualified and differ only on policy (policy that is constitutionally acceptable, that is) dignified debates are the preferred choice.
When one of the candidates proposes wildly unconstitutional policies, promotes violence, lies constantly and is completely unqualified through lack of knowledge and lack of anything resembling a moral compass, then what is the “polite” way of getting voters to understand that?
Hillary has to expose his unpreparedness, ignorance, impulsiveness and other flaws to protect us all from what would be a dangerously disastrous presidency.
re: #158 Nyet
His age is an issue.
For me it’s all comes back to pragmatism. Bernie is a man who, like Trump, is clearly unaware of his limitations. He doesn’t have any fucking idea how he’s going to enact his policies, this week’s Rolling Stone interview re-confirmed this. He demonstrated a clear contempt for the black vote by refusing to readjust his message in the face of early failures in diverse states, again demonstrating an inability to recognize limitations and adjust. He’s too “busy running for President” to prepare for expected questions from Univision on socialist failures in South America.
Falling asleep is just a kind of visual way of symbolizing the problem, he’s ambitious to the point where he extends himself well beyond his abilities. He’s incapable of realizing that he should cancel an event before he’s in danger of falling asleep at it.
A man’s GOT to know his limitations.

She should do everything possible to beat him by the widest margin possible. The stakes are just too high for your lofty idealistic bullshit. You’re so far removed from the problem that it doesn’t even occur to you anymore that real people’s lives are at stake.

Help me here. How is Hillary Clinton going after Trump’s temperament issues in a foreign policy context unreasonably nasty, while Obama’s accurate depictions of the consequences of Republican policies are somehow not nasty?
Two footnotes:
1) Trump’s personality issues are absolutely fair game, especially in connection with foreign policy.
2) Going after Trump on some astral plan of pure idealized policy differences is a fool’s game because Trump has no ideology other than thinking he should be the one in charge.

That was a real headscratcher. I mean, that is the kind of question for which he should have the answer preloaded - start by contrasting what those countries tried to do with what he’s trying to do, then contrast their overall economy with ours, explaining why what is true of them is not true of us, and finish off with why European Social Democracy is a better model, explaining why their more diverse economies are more like ours than, say, the oil-dependent economy of Venezuela.
The answer should be preloaded, because any intelligent interviewer will ask it, because that’s exactly what his opponent in the General would say. That he doesn’t have a prepared answer, nor indeed ANY answer, is mind boggling.

Secretary Clinton needs to go for Trump’s dang jugular and free that possum off his gigantic head. She has zero reasons to hold back when she’s attacking him for his multiple deficiencies. She needs to make voters terrified of him so when we vote in November, we’ll think of what she said about him and vote against him.
