And if she’s wrong she’ll never admit it. She’ll double down.
I realize whats been bothering me about the claims of lib’rul college students crushing those who think differently - the people who are being shut out by protests, etc. are pushing points of view that nobody would have thought to invite to college campuses in an earlier era. Milo Yiannopoulos, Ann Coulter, Charles Murray - these aren’t simply ‘conservative voices’, these are folks pushing racism and white supremacy.
And the Young Republicans invite these people, at least in part, in hopes of inciting exactly this reaction.

Um, okay:
Separate sources with links to the intelligence and justice communities have stated that a sealed indictment has been granted against Donald Trump.
While it is understood that the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution means that, until Mr. Trump is impeached, he cannot be prosecuted, sources say that the indictment is intended by the FBI and prosecutors in the Justice Department to form the basis of Mr. Trump’s impeachment. The indictment is, perhaps uniquely, not intended or expected to be used for prosecution, sources say, because of the constitutional position of the President.
These shitwitted cockknockers have no idea what they’re fucking talking about. The Supremacy Clause has fuck all to do with criminal or civil prosecutions of the President. It simply lays out the descending pecking order of the US Constitution, US federal law and State laws. Now they might be thinking of Executive Privilege but it only applies to official acts and doesn’t serve as a blanket shield against prosecution for criminal activity either in office or before.

If Mensch or Taylor had said something along the lines of “Evidence obtained through a FISA surveillance warrant on Trump has been used by a grand jury to issue a sealed indictment” then I could give the story a certain degree of merit. I’ll give them a tiny shred of benefit of the doubt; maybe that’s what they were trying to say, but they botched it.
But a FISA court simply doesn’t have the authority to issue an indictment - only a grand jury has that responsibility.
And that thing about the Supremacy Clause? WTF? That’s not even relevant in this matter.

This is how every Senior Prom should be. Well-dressed teenagers acting a little dangerously, only to come out the other end unchanged.
My date (an up and coming awesome ski racer) spent probably three hours getting her hair done. To this day, it’s the only time I’ve ever worn a full tuxedo.
Since we’ve been hashing out the various problems in broadband access in the USA here, check out this Medium post about the real, true concern of the big providers — that a tiny renegade cable provider will pull back the curtain on their pricing policies, and regulation will follow.
What Cable One does is support its non-profitable cable TV services with ever increasing fees and price levels on its data services. Since it’s a local monopoly in the southeastern USA, its customers have no choice but to pay for the Internet access. It’s that, or do without.
That’s why Comcast and its buddies are angry with Cable One. By using its own little monopoly to raise prices, it’s exposing the unconstrained power of the entire sector over something that feels like a utility to most Americans. The small company is making the case that the telecom industry needs oversight.

Just reading the first few paragraphs is hysterical, and makes this a must-read….
Buzzfeed: Alex Jones Will Never Stop Being Alex Jones
AUSTIN — It was the winter of 1997 and Alex Jones couldn’t stop getting punched in the face.
Out on the cracked asphalt of Austin Public Access Television’s parking lot, under the sprawling Texas live oaks, Jones was very much losing a fight to a man known affectionately in Austin’s alternative media scene as “SpaceHitler.”
According to multiple reports and interviews with two eyewitnesses, for months, SpaceHitler — real name: Clayton Counts — had been prank-calling Jones’ largely unsuccessful public-access TV show and mocking the exasperated host as “Jarhead Jones” until his call was disconnected. On this particular day, Counts and a gaggle of friends showed up to an ACTV open house with the intention of taunting the 22-year-old host in person.
According to one witness, Counts’s crew traded insults with Jones for a few minutes until one of Counts’s friends started back in with Jones’ least favorite barb: Jarhead.
That’s when Jones asked them to “step outside.”
It’s not entirely clear just what happened next — a police report tells only Jones’ side of the story — but witnesses to the brawl said the broadcaster bolted to his car, rummaged under his driver’s seat, and mimed tucking something in the back of his waistband while muttering about using a gun for self-defense.
“Go ahead and shoot me,” one of Counts’s friends said, before knocking Jones square in the face with a surprise haymaker.

Yes I remember the night of the Senior Prom. I remember all too well how it was made clear that I wouldn’t be welcome. But I didn’t care because I had tickets to see Frank Zappa in Pittsburgh.
Seeing Frank live was much more important than wasting time at a prom!
And I didn’t miss anything because the band that was supposed to show up refused to cross a picket line set up by Orthodox parents because the idiot teacher who set the date didn’t realize that it fell on the same day as Orhodox Easter Monday.
I’d really like to see Paul Ryan booted from congress, but he’s not an easy monster to take down. For one thing, despite being hated by his neighbors (apparently), his district is gerrymandered to keep him in office. Making this about “the GOP agenda” only works with the anti-GOP voters, who are already on your side. Democrats need to get their shit together and fight smart or they’ll reinforce the Trump agenda in 2018 with an underwhelming loss.

Maybe the GOP caught wind of the Russian connection to Trump and Mitts was alluding to that.
At this point, there are very few Republicans I trust. I can easily imagine it was an open secret, as it’s called in China, within the GOP that the Russians intended to screw with the US electoral system, and that the GOP was just fine with that — if the GOP came out on top.
Then Obama got elected. Whoops!

We’re getting into CT here, but from my perspective the guarded silence most of the GOP have maintained about Trump and the Russian stuff smells funny. We know the Russians hacked the GOP computers, but haven’t released any of what they found (if they were successful) — at least yet. So, maybe they’ve got dirt on the GOP leadership, and the GOPpers are running scared.
It might explain why the GOP seems absolutely allergic to the idea of an independent investigation.

This is my thinking as well. Besides a bunch of Congresscritters who are obviously backing up Trump no matter what, there are some Senators that are doing the same and acting oddly: Grassley and McConnell come to mind. Something feels off in their reactions. They’re not acting like partisan assholes who are trying to keep a Republican Senate together, but instead they’re covering for Trump at what looks like increasing risk to themselves. I can’t decide about Graham yet.
There’s a different feel between self-interested damage containment on one hand, and on the other covering for an increasingly unhinged and unreliable interloper who has never done them any favors. If there is ever a proper reckoning of this, the Republican party is dead.

XP is still widely used in China, as it was pirated ages ago and is still shared among users with hardware but no OS. New systems have Win7 or higher, of course, but there are scads of older Windows computers here still running XP (legit or not). You can imagine what a clusterfuck it would be if even 10% of those systems were attacked. China has a big population.
A lot has happened in Russia since 2012 and it was rightfully assumed Romney was thinking Russia was still the USSR.

Graham is a tough one. He talks about the need for bipartisanship amidst Russian attacks on our institutions, but then sets the tone in the Yates/Clapper hearing by devoting the entirety of his statement to internal leaks.

I realize whats been bothering me about the claims of lib’rul college students crushing those who think differently - the people who are being shut out by protests, etc. are pushing points of view that nobody would have thought to invite to college campuses in an earlier era. Milo Yiannopoulos, Ann Coulter, Charles Murray - these aren’t simply ‘conservative voices’, these are folks pushing racism and white supremacy.
And the Young Republicans invite these people, at least in part, in hopes of inciting exactly this reaction.

re: #163 Birth Control Works
Yeah…like this bit I posted yesterday about a local Ohio White Terrorist.
You know, back in 2012, when this happened:
I searched the web every day to learn about the state of women’s right in the US. I took the 60 hour class and became a volunteer at our local Domestic Violence Shelter and Sexual Asssault Center.
At that time, there were enough articles to show a pattern of misogyny on the above subjects to share, either thru twitter, Pages Posts or as a post on a thread. Some days one, others 3 or 4.
Now, I have to choose just a few to share from a sea of articles. I get to wade thru them to choose which are false or exaggerated. I have to stretch my memory to determine if this is an old issue or a new issue.
I get to watch how other countries are expanding women’s rights while ours are shrinking daily.
I grew up in a time when I was told how fortunate I was to be one of the first generation of girls to be able to look forward to any career I was willing to work for. Choice of spouse, family life or not. I could even have a credit card in my name and buy real estate on my own.
Girls today, take most of that for granted. We have to tell them not to. We have to tell them to be aware — fight for what is yours by birth. FREEDOM.

You are correct. There are journals full of scholarly articles. Most our Domestic Violence Law/Sexual Assault Laws reflect this
The problem is funding —enforcement, education, social services and oversight.
The problem is ambivalence.
People know that most prison inmates were victims of childhood violence, but as President Carter said in his TED talk “Men don’t give a damn.”
Women are fighting on all fronts.
We have the research and the laws because of women like Jane Addams and all who remain nameless who have been struggling thru the halls of academia for legitimacy for centuries. We have them because of all the nameless women who run for office or support those who run for office to change the status quo.

No. No no no no no. That lets Trump appoint a new Chief Judge of the D.C. Circuit. Do not take this bait. https://t.co/IdBZSU7OHG

Why would Merrick Garland give up the judiciary to be Trump’s dog?
re: #213 jaunte
Good question. Could that Trump person have something on Garland?

David Frum pointing out that conservatives have now “backed into” arguing that the head of the national police force answers to the president, an authoritarian concept not in practice in any other democratic society around the world.

Thanks. Tough day for some of us. I was just thinking of the conversation I had with her son. Kinda torn between jumping in on the Trump conversations but just really reluctant to go there today of all days.

Constantly lying Kellyanne does not seem to understand that Trumpists support the would-be autocrat. More wingnut inverted reality.
re: #128 Barefoot Grin
Graham is a tough one. He talks about the need for bipartisanship amidst Russian attacks on our institutions, but then sets the tone in the Yates/Clapper hearing by devoting the entirety of his statement to internal leaks.
Lindsey’s not that tough. He really likes camera time; he’s not beholden to the “freedom caucus” kooks (he wiped the floor with the teabagger challengers in his last primary); he almost always ends up going along with the Repub crowd after making some noise, but I don’t think he’s quite as craven as the rest of the assholes.
