Not really related, but part of my Mass. experience:
The second day I lived in Pittsfield, I still had a Florida license plate on my car. The cops ticketed my car in my driveway for an out-of-state tag. Had to go to court to get it thrown out.
When I went to Spain after my tour in Pittsfield, I was told I had to return my license plate (when I got my Spanish plates). I did that, someone somewhere in Mass. lost the plate or paperwork or something, and Mass. issued a Felony arrest warrant.
I complained to my command in Spain, the command told me that happens all the time with people with cars registered in Massachusetts: They had a form letter to send to the commonwealth to address that.

NSA contractor indicted for massive theft of data (not Edward Snowden):
reuters.com
Same company though. Maybe we ought to extremely vet Booz Allen Hamilton?
The indictment alleges that Harold Thomas Martin, 52, spent up to 20 years stealing highly sensitive government material from the U.S. intelligence community related to national defense, collecting a trove of secrets he hoarded at his home in Glen Burnie, Maryland.
The government has not said what, if anything, Martin did with the stolen data.
Martin faces 20 criminal counts, each punishable by up to 10 years in prison, the Justice Department said.
“For as long as two decades, Harold Martin flagrantly abused the trust placed in him by the government,” said U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein.
Martin’s attorney could not immediately be reached for comment.
Martin worked for Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp when he was taken into custody last August.

Early last month, the Michigan Democratic Party State Central Committee (DSCC) met to choose its delegates to the Democratic National Committee [full disclosure: I am a DSCC member]. The afternoon of the meeting, the Chair of the Young Democrats of Michigan Sam Pernick spoke to a group of Senator Sanders and Jill Stein supporters in the hallway outside of the meeting room, telling them that “backroom deals” were being made behind closed doors and “that wasn’t right.” He then led his followers into the meeting chanting “Whose party? OUR Party!”, disrupting the meeting that was already underway. What Pernick didn’t realize was that he was leading the group, not into the DSCC meeting but, rather, into a closed meeting of the MDP Labor Caucus who had the room reserved just prior to the DSCC meeting itself. UAW leader Mike Stone grabbed Pernick by the jacket and pushed him back out the door.
Pernick then proceeded to file charges against Stone which resulted in Stone receiving a ticket. Pernick took to social media to describe the “assault and battery” as a violent attack, blowing it up in an apparent attempt to obscure the fact that he stupidly led dozens of his followers into the wrong meeting.

Tom Perez pledges to rebuild Democratic Party in red rural areas.
Essentially, he sees the problem the way I do: Unless you get rid of the Electoral College, winning territory is just as important as winning votes. Like it or not, under the Constitution square miles do get votes.
TOPEKA, Kansas - With an unbroken 50-year streak of voting for Republican presidential candidates, Kansas is not a typical stop on Democrats’ national tour.
“Party chairs don’t come to Kansas,” said Kathleen Sebelius, the state’s last Democratic governor, who went on to serve in President Obama’s Cabinet as Secretary of Health and Human services.
But on an unseasonably warm Tuesday, former Labor Secretary Tom Perez came here to hunt for votes in his bid to be the next chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and to pledge that the party would no longer ignore rural areas.
In his first mission, Perez succeeded.
He picked up endorsements from Kansas Democratic Party Chairman Lee Kinch and Vice Chairwoman Kathryn Focke, both of whom are among the 447 members of the DNC who will elect a new leader later this month. And after a meeting in rural Wisconsin a day earlier, Perez earned the backing of state Sen. Janet Bewley, a DNC committeewoman from the Badger state.

He will profess his support for Israel, and then will turn on her and will join forces with Magog (Russia) and move to destroy her. And who do you think is talking about having better relations with Russia? Do you really think that is a reach? Do you really not see that he could be lying about his so-called new-found faith in Christ?”
And then I’m like “What if he secretly hates Jews so much that he couldn’t even recognize their suffering in the Holocaust. Is that just a coincidence?”
Underhanded? Maybe. But if you really believe in the Book of Revelation, then it’s honestly not that much of a reach.

Maybe a better way of putting it isn’t so much that Trump needs treatment (he most certainly does) but, in spite of the ogre he has become, he still deserves treatment.
What those who shy away from psychological labels seem to ignore is that even very bad people - and arguably, especially very bad people, if they’re also rich and powerful - should be able to feel able to accept help.
That’s not really an option with a malignant narcissist that also happens to be the most powerful person on Earth; but it deserves to be said, and which, like Propane Jane has remarked cannot be resolved without the problem being identified.

Gorsuch is going to face questioning about Trump’s attacks on the judiciary during his confirmation hearing, it’s hard to see how he can possibly gloss over his confirmed remarks. How Trump reacts to that is going to be a real test, he’s really fucked things up with this recklessly implemented travel ban and his insanely vitriolic response to early court losses.

— lawhawk (@lawhawk) February 9, 2017
People like Cruz know what the history is, and purposefully lie and misrepresent because the fact is that the GOP is the party that enables and supports bigotry and racism. They elected a president on the back of white supremacism and misogyny, not despite of it. We see it with all the statements Trump made during the campaign that resulted in more support among GOPers, not less. It is who the current GOP is.
The GOP has to go back 100+ years to find a party that supported minorities, sought to end slavery. The modern GOP was born at the beginning of the civil rights movement, when the GOP opposed those measures and the Democrats purged them from their party.
That’s why the GOP continues to try and expropriate MLK’s legacy. They have no one else - no one living in the past 50 years who can claim the mantle of being a civil rights supporter who wants to protect the rights of minorities. Because the modern GOP is intent on rolling back rights of minorities.

Morning!
I commented the other day I sent a contact form message to Ohio Senator Rob Portman when I read he received a $51,000 donation from Betsy DeVos and he voted for her to be Education Secretary.
Got the usual Robby canned response and I wanted to share the BS. Here is the main part of his response.
I supported Betsy DeVos for Secretary of Education because during the confirmation process she committed to strongly support public education and because of her support for local control, instead of having the federal government dictate education policy at the state and local level. I look forward to working with her to improve our K-12 public education system, make college more affordable, stand up for children with disabilities, and close the skills gap by promoting Career and Technical Education (CTE) to give young people more opportunities to succeed.
In addition, I do give some deference to the President choosing his cabinet, as I did when supporting President Obama’s nominees.
In the 21st century economy, a high quality education is critical to the social and economic well-being of our nation. I believe that the most important role in educating tomorrow’s workforce is played by parents, teachers, mentors, and community leaders at the state and local level. At a time when young people are leaving our state, we must work collaboratively in our communities to give students the tools necessary to compete in high demand fields in Ohio.
I wasn’t impressed. It is hard to be impressed by Rob Portman.

I wager that China has been doing a lot of selling, as it tries to shore up its own economy. The People’s Bank has also gotten very worried about Chinese using bitcoin to move money offshore, and they’ve been “investigating” the major bitcoin exchanges in China. The exchanges have tightened up their procedures (no margin trading and no fee waivers for activity), and now two have announced users can no longer withdraw bitcoins from their accounts. That means no one can send those bitcoins abroad.

Meanwhile, in the USA, Trump’s insane ideas about immigration and import tariffs will deprive the States of needed skilled (and unskilled) labor and raise produce and retail prices. If the yokels had economic anxiety last year, just wait till a recession hits this year or next.

If you have friends or relatives siding with Trump’s protectionism, challenge them to check the labels of everything they own or buy — including food. They will find most items are made abroad, because it’s cheaper. Cheaper production costs mean cheaper retail prices.
Manufacturers are not going to abandon factories they already have abroad, and build new ones in the USA. That makes no business sense at all. What they will do is raise retail prices to compensate for Trump’s tariffs. So, most everything will cost substantially more *and* no new jobs will be created in the USA.
Or if they can’t comprehend basic economics, ask them why Wal-mart abandoned its former policy of only selling products made in America. The main reasons: (1) many products were no longer being made in the USA and (2) those that were made in the USA were more expensive, and weren’t selling.

Of course, there’s a time-lag between filming a television show and airing it — often five or six months. If the folks behind The Man in the High Castle were reading the pollsters in March or April of 2016, they probably thought Hillary Clinton was on her way to a victory. No one knew then that, come 2017, George Orwell’s 1984 would again become a bestseller, and the showrunners presumably didn’t anticipate that millions of people concerned about Trump’s authoritarian tendencies might be eager for a high-concept show about resistance to fascism. And in past years perhaps the show’s premise would have worked. We do love our antiheroes in fancy dramas (take Walter White in Breaking Bad and, I would argue, Sherlock Holmes in his titular BBC series).

Many undocumented workers use faked SSNs to get jobs, which means their employers and the employees pay into the SS system. Some employers look the other way, because they need the workers or they want to help them out. As far as I’m concerned, the only people getting shafted are the undocumented workers, who are paying into a retirement system they will never be able to benefit from.

I wager that China has been doing a lot of selling, as it tries to shore up its own economy. The People’s Bank has also gotten very worried about Chinese using bitcoin to move money offshore, and they’ve been “investigating” the major bitcoin exchanges in China. The exchanges have tightened up their procedures (no margin trading and no fee waivers for activity), and now two have announced users can no longer withdraw bitcoins from their accounts. That means no one can send those bitcoins abroad.
Also between the economy reaching near full employment and anticipation of inflationary policies from Trump, interests rate are going up, so the value of bonds go down.

Not saying those cops deaths were Reagan’s fault but Walker certainly did try to say cops dying was Obama’s fault.

SAO says Abe’s visit to Mar A Lago is “a personal gift” and something that “the President is doing for the Prime Minister”

Brady himself didn’t go to the WH when Obama was President.

That 50 bucks on the nightstand is a “personal gift” and this blowjob is just “something this stripper is doing for a patron of the club”.
I don’t know much about the Belk chain, but they’ve dropped Ivanka’s line as well.
Thousands of customers have accused Belk of playing politics with the decision to drop the line, which is owned by President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka.
Her line of merchandise was targeted last fall by the #GrabYourWallet campaign. The effort urges people to boycott stores that do business with the Trump family. As of Thursday morning, Belk remained on the organization’s list of companies to boycott.

re: #323 Belafon
Or when Tom Brady refused to visit.
They’re seriously using that Brady was bothered by Obama making deflategate jokes as a reason why he didn’t go. Yeah because having a thin skin is different than not wanting to deal with a bigot like McCourty and Bennett don’t want to deal with.
FWIW, I’d go regardless but I don’t have a problem with individuals choosing not to go either.
re: #316 The Vicious Babushka

Much of Bruins Nation DESPISED Tim Thomas for snubbing Obama. He got traded shortly thereafter.

They would hear about it here in my very red, yet rather well off county in Texas, which went 70% for Trump. And lots of things, such as discontinuing his daughters clothing line, are going to be considered an attack on Trump, so we shouldn’t let that stop us.

We’re into the trailing edge of the snow here in northern NJ according to the radar. Figure another hour or so and the snow will be done.
I’d say we got a solid 9 inches here. By solid I mean heart-attack snow. This is the heavy stuff that breaks trees, power lines, and kills people trying to shovel. Good for snowball fights though.
They haven’t updated the official totals at the NWS site yet, but it’s looking like NJ escaped the worst of it. Long Island? Not so fortunate.

There isn’t any scenario right now that would call for it. But Trump would more than likely try to use it say if North Korea tested a missile in short order after another nuclear test. Or Iran.

An informative thread concerning Trump and New START
1/n Trump repeatedly trashed New START during the campaign as part of larger, false narrative that U.S. falling behind Russia on nukes
— Kingston Reif (@KingstonAReif) February 9, 2017
- 2/n During 3rd debate Trump said of New START: Russia can “create warheads and we can’t.” Full transcript: Third 2016 presidential debate
- 3/n Trump added: “Russia has “tremendous numbers of nuclear warheads, 1,800, by the way. Where they expanded and we didn’t.”
- 4/n Believe it or not Trump correctly stated number of deployed warheads Russia had as of last treaty exchange New START Treaty Aggregate Numbers of Strategic Offensive Arms
- 5/n But this misleading. Russia required to reduce to treaty limit of 1550 warheads by 2018. No indication as of now that they wont do so
- 6/n Meanwhile, US has far more deployed strategic delivery systems and nondeployed strategic warheads than Russia Nuclear Weapons: Who Has What at a Glance FACT SHEETS & BRIEFS
- 7/n New START critics have long claimed that treaty requires US unilateral reductions but this incorrect. Equal limits on both sides.
- 8/n Trump will need to decide whether to scrap treaty, invite Russia to extend New START for another five years and/or negotiate a new deal
- 9/n Both sides have far more nukes than necessary to deter. And as @ArmsControlWonk notes, budget could force cuts w/ w/o new deal.
- 10/10 As @PMBreedlove noted this morn, prudent to seek engagement w/Russia on further arms control, but terms matter Press Release: U.S., Russia Can And Should Reduce Nuclear Excess, But On Proper Terms - Arms Control Association

Servicemen died. Civilians died. The target got away.
You called for the mission. This is your failure, you weak pathetic weasel. https://
this does not reflect badly at all on those who died doing their duty. It does reflect badly on you, because you called it on bad intel and caused useless and unnecessary deaths.

re: #328 The Vicious Babushka
Where can I find a running list of all the high crimes & misdemeanors that Trump has committed in the last 3 weeks?
I mean, somebody has to be keeping a list, right?
Right?
The ACLU has their list.
In Texas, the courts stand up to the crazy. Texas liberals love our federal judges…they protect us. A typical phrase for the outrageous things our legislators come up with is, “Unconstitutional. Courts will strike it down.” Sure enough, every time the courts strike it down.
Now the rest of the country gets to see why we love these judges. Occasionally a couple of them drive us nuts but in the end the vast bulk of Texas Crazy gets killed off.

It is an interesting way to systematize historical developments, but yes, it is not the same as a predictive model.
My buddy and I were both immune to all the Campus Crusaders for Christ who came regularly knocking at our doors when we were doing bong hits at ASU at the turn of the 80’s, but what he has come to embrace is basically a form of pseudo-historically based fundamentalism.
It should be noted when @realDonaldTrump says he wants Americans to feel safer, he’s only taking about White Christian Conservatives

That’s a much more current situation, and shows that the white supremacists are busy preparing for whatever nightmare scenarios they’ve concocted, all while Bannon/Trump have decided to stop paying attention to that real and direct threat to the nation.
BTW, as an aside, the first question to Sessions should be whether he’s going to continue investigating law enforcement for ties to white supremacists.

re: #436 Kragar
Those are petty unimportant details for President Bannon.
This sucks, and I’m a fan of their products:
FREEPORT, Maine (AP) — L.L. Bean is moving to cut costs by freezing pensions and offering voluntary early retirements, and company officials say they are taking a hard look at its generous shipping and return policies.
The Freeport-based outdoors retailer will freeze its defined-benefit pension plan and boost its 401(k) savings contributions to all 5,000 workers, including 1,000 out-of-state store employees who were not previously eligible for the full pension, company officials told The Associated Press.
It’s part of a broader look at all aspects of the business, company officials said, which could lead to changes that affect shoppers.
L.L. Bean currently offers free shipping on everything, and its “satisfaction” guarantee is so liberal that it’s led to abuse of the return policy. Company officials said they will have more to say later this year about shipping and efforts to combat fraudulent returns.
The privately held company expects to reduce its workforce by about 500 workers through early retirement incentives, said CEO Steve Smith. Other employment changes include more flexible time off, paid parental leave and paid eldercare support, benefits employees have been seeking, he said.

Germans like to call it Schneechaos (snow chaos) but I always point out that it is not snow chaos: the snow is doing what it does, namely falling and sticking and perhaps drifting. It is the people who cause the chaos by not adapting their behavior, driving and reactions to it.

re: #208 wheat-dogg
If you have friends or relatives siding with Trump’s protectionism, challenge them to check the labels of everything they own or buy — including food. They will find most items are made abroad, because it’s cheaper. Cheaper production costs mean cheaper retail prices.
Manufacturers are not going to abandon factories they already have abroad, and build new ones in the USA. That makes no business sense at all. What they will do is raise retail prices to compensate for Trump’s tariffs. So, most everything will cost substantially more *and* no new jobs will be created in the USA.
Or if they can’t comprehend basic economics, ask them why Wal-mart abandoned its former policy of only selling products made in America. The main reasons: (1) many products were no longer being made in the USA and (2) those that were made in the USA were more expensive, and weren’t selling.
This argument is true as a generality only. While on the surface it would appear that companies would not abandon their lower cost offshore facilities it should also be noted that these same companies would convert to domestic manufacturing if it meets their cost targets.
Recent studies have indicated that the ability to create products in the USA as compared to offshore manufacturing has actually decreased. In some economic areas such as the Carolinas the cost difference is very small. Sounds good however when you look at the details you find that the USA based jobs that would be created IF a factory were relocated back to the USA would only pay minimum wage or slightly above minimum wage to remain competitive. Given that a good portion of the factory’s productive capacity is reliant upon specialized machinery and/or robots there is no reason to pay a high wage similar to the old UAW wages from decades ago. Wages are also depressed because of a scarcity of other high paying jobs in the area. And this does not even take into consideration the reliance on just-in-time component sourcing that is absolutely critical to maintain lower costs.
If we see another large spike in oil prices for a sustained period then you might see some companies start actively looking into moving plants back to the USA. However, as pointed out above, there are no high paying jobs coming back with the factories.
Your point about companies just raising prices to compensate for the Trump tax is absolutely correct in the short run. Not sure right now how long they would be able to pass along those higher prices.
