So even if the Annapolis raid isn’t about Trump, but is about Cucinelli, I could be somewhat happy. Damaging Kookoonelli’s continued political ambitions is perfectly OK.

re: #10 mmmirele

The Cuccinelli suit alleged that Strategic Campaign Group and the associated Conservative Strike Force Political Action Committee — an independent group not affiliated with the candidate — raised about $2.2 million by assuring donors it would spend the money to help elect the GOP candidate. The suit alleged that the PAC and Strategic Campaign Group failed to follow through on promises for an extensive media campaign on Cuccinelli’s behalf.

Shit, that might have been the margin of victory for Cuccinelli right there.

Per the discussion downstairs about sending letters to our representatives …just got back a letter from mine, responding to the second letter I sent (this makes her 2/2, since staff probably hasn’t responded to the third one yet).

The response was on topic too, so someone had to read the note enough to know which form letter to pull in response.

It’s a damn shame better words for trump didn’t make the list:

smegma-elemental
taint-weasel

The real problem is that Trump is so god-awful that a single word just won’t get the job done (even if cheating with hyphens is allowed).

The best single word for Trump, IMO, is ‘shit’, but that really is just a starting point.

I agree that a military coup would be the end (even if it could be justified).

However, the American experiment is right on the hairy edge of being ended by the Republicans. Their unholy lust for money and power truly knows no bounds, and they are certain to increase their voter suppression efforts.

The attempt by the Republicans to put one-party rule in place in the US is underway. How effectively it is resisted is the only remaining open question.

KGxvi  May 11, 2017 • 2:00:50pm

Cracks are forming in the GOP House caucus now:

During an interview Thursday on Insight With Beth Ruyak, Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Elk Grove) said a special prosecutor should take over the investigation regarding Russia’s possible interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

“I think the timing of the firing makes it necessary to hand the investigation over to an independent prosecutor,” McClintock says.

I mean, he follows that up with this bullshit:

McClintock goes on to say that an independent prosecutor should also pursue other investigations not conducted by Comey, including, “use of the IRS to intimidate Tea Party leaders, the Clinton email scandal and how much of our Top Secret intelligence was lost to our enemies as a result of that, and the Susan Rice scandal involving the use of the NSA to spy on political opponents.”

But babysteps. Also, Issa has called for a special prosecutor as well.

68
BeachDem  May 11, 2017 • 2:00:58pm

And on to a very important topic:

When reporters from Time sat down to dine with the president at the White House this week, they found Trump and Vice President Mike Pence were served slightly different desserts than they were, among other mealtime discrepancies:

…At the dessert course, he gets two scoops of vanilla ice cream with his chocolate cream pie, instead of the single scoop for everyone else.

This is not a babystep. Any such investigation would be spending more time on the pseudo scandals. We need a special prosecutor to investigate Trump only— someone with Kenneth Starr’s persistence on uncovering anything — even if it had nothing to do with the original charges — as long as the anything was more serious (such as dereliction of duty and flagrant disregard of the laws of the country) and not a consensual affair with an adult woman.

The American Experiment is already over. It ended Nov 8, 2016 and the military may well be the only real chance at a reset since the Grand Old Fascist Party is intent on keeping the Theif-In-Chief in place.

< thought experiment >
Let the military round up the executive branch, send the legislative branch home, set up elections for 2 months later and not allow any current incumbent to run. At that point, we’re back to 1789 and can try again while hoping that the leader of the free world, Angela Merkel, can keep a lid on Putin. Afterwards all officers involved submit their resignations.

That’s really about the best scenario I can come up with right now.

A coup is only justified in the event that Trump tries to start a nuclear way or some such without cause, in which you then have 25th Amendment justification.

It’s a babystep in that McClintock is at least willing to call for the special prosecutor in the first place. He’s providing a rear guard on all the wingnut fantascandals, which is obviously disappointing, but I see it as one step forward, half a step back.

And again, if someone like McClintock (who more than a few California Republicans want to run for the Senate) is willing to say that a special prosecutor is needed, that the sort of thing that could lead to more calls from the House.

If we go this route, there is no recovery from it. Perhaps, Trump’s behavior will make enough voters come to their senses.

What if Trump has been playing us all along, not believing that the Americans were so stupid to elect him after all he had said, and now trying everything to get impeached but discovering that he can violate the Constitution at will and the Republican party will go along with it.

re: #92 William Lewis

The American Experiment is already over. It ended Nov 8, 2016 and the military may well be the only real chance at a reset since the Grand Old Fascist Party is intent on keeping the Theif-In-Chief in place.

< thought experiment >
Let the military round up the executive branch, send the legislative branch home, set up elections for 2 months later and not allow any current incumbent to run. At that point, we’re back to 1789 and can try again while hoping that the leader of the free world, Angela Merkel, can keep a lid on Putin. Afterwards all officers involved submit their resignations.

That’s really about the best scenario I can come up with right now.

I wonder if the Republicans would ask for Russian troops to help them put down the “mutiny.” In that case, the RWNJs could have their Red Dawn scenario after all.

And if the coup leaders don’t like the results of that election? Or before doing so, if they unilaterally make some “necessary” changes to the constitution? Like military oversight of the civilian government?

The experiment did not end on November 8. Trump won the election based on the terms established before hand. It sucks, but it is not the end. There are still free and fair elections happening. Parties have not been outlawed. The system still works, no matter how much shit they try to throw at it to gum up the works. But if you really consider a military coup the only chance we have, then you’ve lost. We haven’t lost, but you have.

You get the sense that if Trump told his supporters to get surgically castrated/sterilized and drink a poison cocktail to go to the big UFO in the sky like the Heaven’s Gate cult, people would actually do it.

I asked someone on Twitter who has more experience with evangelicals if he thought evangelicals would go along if Donald Trump asked them to get a chip or mark implanted in their right hands or their foreheads.

He did not know.

For the record, that’s supposed to be the Mark of the Beast and a sign of the antichrist.

“Alabama has been embarrassed enough the last few years by political leaders who have not been leaders at all,” Jones said in a statement. “Instead of listening to the concerns that each of [us] face every day, like jobs and wages, adequate and affordable health care and first rate educations for our children and grandchildren, they have played on our fears and exploited our divisions for their own self interests.”

The reason I ask is when I saw Emerson, Lake and Palmer, there was a point in one song it looked like Keith Emerson flipped open the keyboard area of one of his mini-Moogs took out a what looked like a flat bar and played it someone like a Theremin, only instead of having his hands in proximity to a rod he was touching areas of the bar and getting the same type of sounds.

I have no idea how a mini Moog was constructed, but maybe when you pressed a key it contacted the “bar” and gave you a note, so the bar must be tuned to the scale.

This teacher, one Michael Stack, is a ripe nutburger. He would be right at home in a Lubbock Bible church:

Stack wrote that he was compelled to speak out because he “didn’t want to displease God,” saying the Bible is “without error” and its hundreds of predictions are 100 percent accurate.

Stack cited an excerpt from the Book of Romans referring to the sinfulness of homosexuality. He wrote that the passage describes “a deception that has happened in the past, and is happening again right now, not only at SLOHS, but throughout the world.”

The passage states that women and men who engage in homosexual acts were abandoned by God and their lives “became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip.”

“They know God’s justice required that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway,” the passage continues.

sanluisobispo.com

Through a mis-apprehension of the First Amendment, the school administration is actually defending the teacher:

The school won’t discipline special education teacher Michael Stack, saying teachers as well as students “do not shed their First Amendment rights” at school.

“A bedrock principle underlying the First Amendment is that the government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea offensive or disagreeable,” San Luis Coastal Unified School District Superintendent Eric Prater and Principal Leslie O’Connor said in a joint statement Wednesday.

“As a district, we understand that students do not shed their First Amendment rights at school, and we respect the rights of our students to speak on controversial topics. We applaud the high school’s commitment to open dialogue and a free exchange of ideas in its student newspaper,” the statement read. ” … In a similar manner, we acknowledge the right of our staff to voice their opinions.”

So, I guess the district would be okay with it if Stack said, “Prater and O’Connor are evil tyrants and tools of the devil. They should be prosecuted by a new Nuremberg Tribunal and lawfully hanged.”

Through a mis-apprehension of the First Amendment, the school administration is actually defending the teacher:

So, I guess the district would be okay with it if Stack said, “Prater and O’Connor are evil tyrants and tools of the devil. They should be prosecuted by a new Nuremberg Tribunal and lawfully hanged.”

He did not know.

Speaking of armed liberals: Unlike most of his colleagues, RWNJ radio host Charlie Jones of Texas Overnight actually acknowledges that armed libs exist. He suggests that they; and their cohorts, the armed Muslims and BLM gangs; favor ex-Soviet calibers (7.62x39, etc.) for “political reasons.” That the stuff is cheap and plentiful is apparently not a factor. I wonder if this might be something vigilantes and sovereign sheriff fascists would look for in a Trump-ordered, NRA-approved round up?

Today’s summary about where we are at this moment in time.

When we last left Camp Runamuck, and it was only this morning, there was some question as to whether the walls of the East Room ought to be discreetly padded. Since then, and it’s only been about six hours, every single element of the most recent account of why the president* iced James Comey had been refuted, much of it by the president* himself, who sat down for a whopper of an interview with Lester Holt of NBC and proceeded to make clowns out of Sean Spicer, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Rod Rosenstein, and most conspicuously of all, Vice President Mike Pence, who must wish he were back being the incredibly unpopular governor of Indiana. It is getting very crowded under the bus.

Before addressing the interview itself, let us contemplate how truly woolly-headed stupid even doing the interview was, especially this week, when the president*’s credibility was being quite competently shredded without his help. His staff should don masks and catch rides deep into the Appalachians. His lawyers should get out of the business. It’s now abundantly clear that there simply is nobody alive who can stop this guy from doing anything. I can’t imagine what he’d be like as an actual defendant. He might bite the judge in the balls, or he might pin everything on Tiffany.

OT: Engadget: IBM Watson adds voice commands to ‘Star Trek’ VR game

Ubisoft’s Star Trek: Bridge Crew won’t just put you in a VR starship when it finally launches. It’ll also give you the power to interact with the virtual Starfleet crew with your voice. The company has teamed up with IBM to add Watson’s interactive speech capabilities to the game, so you can tell a crew member to launch a missile — and maybe even pompously add “make it so” in the end — instead of using manual controls. Bridge Crew was supposed to launch last year but was plagued with numerous delays. It’s now scheduled to come out on May 30th for the PC and PS4, with Watson’s voice commands to follow later this summer during a Beta period.

Now comes the moment of truth-will he or won’t he?

Just Security: Rosenstein’s Reputation Now Rests on His Appointment of a Special Counsel in Russia Investigation

When he began his job as deputy attorney general two weeks ago, Rod Rosenstein had a sterling reputation as a longtime U.S. Attorney in administrations of both political parties. He was viewed as having the integrity to serve as a bulwark of independence in the Trump government. But two weeks in the Trump administration is an awfully long time. After being used by the White House to provide a pretext for the firing of FBI Director James Comey, Rosenstein has only one choice to save his reputation: appoint a special counsel to lead the investigation into links between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia’s efforts to interfere with the election.
…
Comey’s actions during the Clinton email investigation could have been grounds for firing him. But the circumstances of his firing bely that rationale. In his memo, Rosenstein wrote of the need to “regain public and congressional trust;” but the firing of Comey and the way Rosenstein is being used by the White House have dramatically shaken the confidence of the American people in the independence of the Department of Justice. There is only one choice to make and Rosenstein has the power to make it: appoint a Special Counsel and do it now.

I think either Priebus or Bannon created that scenario, printed off the talking points and had a quick rehearsal and sent them out to sing.

Then Trump got involved and did the “My Way” song and fucked them.

He cannot be controlled.

What I find fascinating is they are all being used and made to look the fool. How long before they realize their own careers may be shot and they need to resign.

When you tell a lie, you’re supposed to stick as close as you can to the truth, so it doesn’t come back and bite you in the ass. But what if you work in the White House, where THERE IS NO TRUTH, only what Trump thinks will work in the moment.

So in this case, the whole crew agrees on a lie, one which works with the memos they sent out, and it’s consistent, even though EVERYBODY knows it’s bullshit. They present a united front. Nobody believes them, but they’ve put the story out there, and they’re all in on it.

And Trump completely cuts their legs off.

Here’s the Trump Family Crest from way back in 2012.

The designer explains the symbolism.

Central to the shield is a gaudy skycraper, denoting (literally) his business empire and (metaphorically) his virility.

Either side of Trump Tower stands a stylised ‘golden’ woman. These are a dual reference to his involvement in the Miss Universe and Miss USA competitions - as well as his ex-wives Ivana Trump and Marla Maples, who were rumoured to be awarded $25million and $2million from their respective divorces.

A ‘chevronel’ made from two hair combs are used to denote The Donald’s famous ‘comb-over’ hairstyle, while the bottom of the crest refers to his dogged persistence last year in trying to force President Barack Obama to make public his birth certificate.

Like its position on the shield, Mr Trump’s critics say his leadership of the ‘birther’ movement was the lowest point of his political career. (Note - they sure got that wrong).

The motto is a loose Latin translation of ‘You’re fired’ - his favourite phrase from The Apprentice.

ObserverArt  May 11, 2017 • 5:10:12pm

I give Lester Holt credit. He did a good interview with El Trumpo Orange. He didn’t go too hard so as to piss off Trump, but he did ask good solid questions that allowed Trump to be Trump. And that could mean within Trump’s answers he may have given any investigation good rope which can be used to hang him.
