Can we add disrespect for the rule of law and trial by jury to the list of Donald Trump’s high crimes and misdemeanors? This Trump tweet is infuriating me like crazy, because I was on a federal civil jury last month and I have enormous respect for jurors who have to make the hard decisions.

A disgraceful verdict in the Kate Steinle case! No wonder the people of our Country are so angry with Illegal Immigration.

re: #25 jaunte

One quick but important note: Garcia Zarate is not going free. The jury did convict him of a lesser charge of being a felon in possession of a gun, and he now awaits sentencing, which will be 16 months, two years, or three years in state prison. He has already served two years and will get credit for that time, but even if he is not given the maximum sentence, there is an outstanding U.S. Marshals Service warrant against him, and despite the sanctuary cities policy, San Francisco apparently does turn over undocumented immigrants to the feds when they have a warrant. So he is either getting deported, or spending one more year in prison first, and then getting deported.

Shooting from a high-rise in Reno, Nev.

Apparently, only one person was injured in the hand as shooting went on for more than an hour. The police killed the shooter, who apparently was holding a hostage in an apartment.

The first two paragraphs of the article above:

A gunman was killed by police after he fired shots from an elevated position at a luxury apartment complex in downtown Reno, Nev., shortly before 7 p.m. Tuesday, police said. Barricaded in a room on the eighth floor of the high-rise building, the shooter sent bullets raining onto the street below.

No other casualties have been reported, except for a woman who was injured in the hand, the Sparks Police Department said in a news release. She did not need medical treatment.

Because their party’s orthodoxy has chained them to the belief that only the rich can give money to the middle class, and the only way to make that happen is to give the rich as much money as possible. Even if that means actively picking the pockets of the poor and working class to do so.

Republicans have been on this “trickle-down” economics kick for a long time, as William Jennings Bryan (D-NE) noted in his “Cross of Gold” speech at the Democratic National Convention in 1896.

There are two ideas of government. There are those who believe that if you just legislate to make the well-to-do prosperous, that their prosperity will leak through on those below. The Democratic idea has been that if you legislate to make the masses prosperous their prosperity will find its way up and through every class that rests upon it.

And they cannot connect the word ricochet to the event.

In their minds, the only thing that matters is that he is an “illegal.” They feel that justice “failed” because that fact alone should have assured a guilty verdict. But that’s what happens when you attach political significance to a case like this, you have to have a favorable verdict or else people might question your beliefs.

And in the decades since, the Democratic ideal has worked more times than “trickle down” (or, more accurately, “voodoo economics”) ever has. When you give the poor and middle class money to spend, they will spend it readily on things they need and then on those they want. When you give that money to the rich, they generally sit on it or use it to secure greater wealth in whatever fashion is easiest. Once upon a time that might have been in expanding a business, but these days its in hedge funds and speculation.

When you give that money to the rich, they generally sit on it or use it to secure greater wealth in whatever fashion is easiest. Once upon a time that might have been in expanding a business, but these days its in hedge funds and speculation.

Absolutely trickle down economics simply doesn’t workz

It wasn’t even a decade ago that most of the nimrods presently pressing to give the working class a tax cut were declaring in the same voice that what we really needed was to “broaden the tax base” because too many folks were getting a free ride. Remember that? All the doomsaying about how “51% don’t pay taxes and people will just vote themselves more money!”

“… The board at 445 Fifth Ave. — where one-bedrooms go for just under $1 million — wanted the library to pay in exchange for being allowed to put up scaffolding.

The library offered the building a reduced $3,500-a-month fee, according to a library source, but the board was still saying, “We want more, more, more.”

A lawyer for the condo board did not return a message seeking comment. “

This is just a different version of the same differance Trump evoked when he declared the Central Park Five a priori guilty and deserving of death, and that plays out every fucking time the color chart is pulled out after a mass killing.

The rule behind the rule is that “the law” applies as the wingnuts demand. Which explains their simultaneous fear of a police state and cheering of police state tactics so long as they’re applied to The Wrong Kind of People. It also applies to the connected issue of who gets to use a firearm how, and who’s a “threat” that can be killed outright.

One of the first photography texts I ever read showed exactly how this works. If there’s a small crowd and you want to make the speaker look important, shoot from the side along the first one or two rows, which will generally be full. If you want to make the speaker look insignificant, shoot from the rear of the venue or from behind the speaker, showing all the empty seats. There are countless other tactics like this. The camera may not lie, but the photographer can certainly make it say diametrically different things about the same event. And that doesn’t even count Photoshop and other editing tools.

The honest answer is most of these guys want those jobs because they’re the best they’re likely to secure with little or no formal education past a high school diploma/GED. The factories are going away and farm jobs are not steady enough to make a living off of unless you own part of the farm. In a big city they might be able to get menial jobs doing manual labor, but out in the small towns or Appalachia, even those jobs are hard to come by. So they take to the mines for the same reason their daddies did and their daddies before them: Because it’s a job that’s steady, pays well enough, and you don’t need to be smart to do it.

Zedushka has returned to his old self. Last night we went to a steakhouse just a few blocks from our hotel. Then he wanted to take a stroll and window shop the art galleries. Even though we both use canes and walking can be difficult, before we knew it we were at the Mamila Mall which leads into the Old City.

Mamila is an upscale shopping mall that caters to mostly tourists but also window-shopping locals. It was nice to see Jews, Arabs and international visitors all shopping and strolling together.

an ex-girlfriend moved with her hubby to the border region near Douglas, AZ back in the 80’s. It was a bit like No Country for Old Men; what used to be a sleepy backwater turned into the front line in a major drug war and a major human trafficking route.

Last I heard, her hubby had joined the AZ militia and erected a 30-foot observation tower on their property.

For that, I also heard that they have been enriched by a number of abandoned SUVs found on their property: the coyotes run them as far as they can, then proceed on foot. They report them to the police, but if nobody comes to claim them within 60 days (and nobody does), they get to keep them.

I was arg…debating with a moro…customer the other day about the price a few different items the other day.

No, it would be 25% off this item, if this item was on sale…however, this item isn’t on sale, and it’s NOT this item, it’s THAT completely different item

Yay, holidays.

On the plus side, one of those items looks almost EXACTLY like a crystalline object my character in a D&D game will have, so I bought the thing to use as a prop in the game.

In their minds, the only thing that matters is that he is an “illegal.” They feel that justice “failed” because that fact alone should have assured a guilty verdict. But that’s what happens when you attach political significance to a case like this, you have to have a favorable verdict or else people might question your beliefs.

since he’s guilty of the crime of “illegal” he must be guilty of this one

They want a murder conviction? Simple: Stonekettle has already weighed in on this. Change the gun laws.

There are no accidents with guns. You can be shown to have mishandled a gun, murder charge if you kill someone. Property damage? Off to jail.

Heaven forfend someone pass a law like that. So we go with the law we have, and that law says it was accidental and thus not murder.

They were recently sold to a group who kept their identities secret from employees - and when the new owners took over this week they fired everyone and from the look of it, they’re turning into another right-wing rag.

If I understand things correctly, in order to plead guilty of something, there has to be actual charges, and his pleading would still require the prosecution to accept. Thus, the two sides had to come to terms, which means he’s going to have to be willing to spill things. Plus, by pleading guilty, he’s giving up his fifth amendment rights, just like we’ve talked about for people who accept pardons.

Yes. Keep in mind that Mueller is a very methodical person. He will dot every “i” and cross every “t.” And that attention to detail will bring down the uncouth one and all of his cronies.

Yep, and being the first to cut a deal is a good place to be in.

Yep, if the rest start singing and it is stuff Mueller already knows, he will tell them to get stuffed. So they will have to dig deeper for more unknown pieces to see if that will be enough to save their hides.

My favorite ever internet find about old-timey literary figures:

Literary Trysts It Gives Me Great Joy To Think About: Oscar Wilde and Walt Whitman
the-toast.net

I take every opportunity I can to inform people who may not have known that Walt Whitman and Oscar Wilde almost certainly had sex in 1882.

You are either the kind of person to whom this matters a great deal, or the kind of person to whom it matters not at all. To the latter I say: yours is the narrow road and the straight, and I extend to you a hearty and fulsome handshake, as well as my sincerest wishes for your continued good health. To the former I say: Want to hear about the time Walt Whitman and Oscar Wilde (probably) hooked up??

Breaking — Special Counsel Robert Mueller has charged former Trump national security advisor Michael Flynn with “willfully and knowingly” making “false, fictitious and fraudulent statements” to the FBI regarding conversations with Russia’s ambassador.

Trump’s NSA.
Trump’s transition co-chair along with Pence.

Entering a guilty plea for lying to the FBI. That’s the tip of the iceberg on what Flynn did wrong. He was an undeclared foreign agent. He lied about his contacts. He lied to Trump (who didn’t care and kept him around anyways). Flynn also helped make personnel decisions for Trump.

Let that last bit sink in. Flynn, who had all these conflicts of interest, lied to everyone about his actions, and had power to determine who would be in the administration, is entering a guilty plea here. All of Trump’s picks are suspect. This is just another day in Trumpworld.

Did Flynn really lie to Trump? And how many of Flynn’s Russian contacts and conversations were actually at Trump’s behest? Trump is a traitor as well as Tillerson. And how many other Republicans are complicit? Oh wait, maybe the question should be “how many Republicans are not complicit?”

Plea deal forthcoming. The charge is punishable by a minimum of 5 years in prison, up to 8 if it involves domestic terrorism.

Flynn does not want that. He’ll flip.

Oh, I think it is much better than that. I think this is the plea deal. For federal crimes you don’t get off with no charges, and the sentencing for what you plead guilty to can be adjusted depending on how happy the court and the prosecutor continue to be with your performance.

Let’s not forget that Flynn also lied to Trump and Pence. Trump is the only person in DC that’s actually clean. That’s why the DC Swamp Rats hate him so much. The real criminal is Mueller, he was Hillary’s bagman in Uranium 1.

This kind of prosecution is the REAL CRIME. Mueller should go to jail for this (which is actually the least of what that cretin has done in his life).

Get a clue : RINOs and democrats cover for each other while going after MAGA patriots.

Flynn doesn’t even work for the government anymore. Hillary needs to be charged for mishandling classified information on her email server and also for lying about it

And that’s something that we’ve got to mention. Barack Obama fired Mike Flynn from a very important intelligence position in his administration. The relationship between Mike Flynn and the Obama administration was terrible, and the idea that they went back and actually tried to find wrongdoing on Mike Flynn is a very interesting and important part of this story.

They want a murder conviction? Simple: Stonekettle has already weighed in on this. Change the gun laws.

There are no accidents with guns. You can be shown to have mishandled a gun, murder charge if you kill someone. Property damage? Off to jail.

Heaven forfend someone pass a law like that. So we go with the law we have, and that law says it was accidental and thus not murder.

I don’t believe the white hunter who killed a woman after mistaking her for a deer has been charged with anything, even though he was illegally hunting after dusk.

Maggie Habermann just now on CNN: ‘reading Ty Cobb’s statement it’s likely that they’ll push the line that Flynn lied so his testimony can’t be trusted.’

I literally flip to Fox and one of the Outsider stooges is in mid-statement: “Flynn is a liar, so how can anything he says be believed?”

There will be a lot of that in the next few days.

Just like a good guy with a gun becomes a lone wolf with a mass shooting…Flynn was a patriot up until a couple hours ago and now he is a liar that can’t be trusted.

No one rolls over no-longer-needed bodies like the conservative media and their super-absorbent wingnut watchers/listeners.

He makes it a point that when Mueller announced Flynn was doing a deal Thanksgiving week it made John Dean’s comments to Keith that Mueller is not shooting down with Flynn to get Manafort or Donny Jr…he is using Flynn to shoot up to get Trump.

It’s based on a memo that was uncovered in Soviet archives in 1991. The memo was from KGB chief Victor Chebrikov to Yuri Andropov and has alleged details of a message from Kennedy to Andropov that was forwarded through Kennedy supporter John Tunney. The message asks for Andropov’s help in defeating Reagan, in return for a softer line on the Soviet Union. There is no original or first hand documentation for this message at all.

Third, why would I be under oath?

Is the answer to all of these questions “Never talk to the FBI?”

It is not the job of any citizen to cooperate with law enforcement under any circumstances; much less if you think they are trying to set you up.

Calm down everyone, you are all missing something blindingly obvious.

If Trump was colluding with the Russians BEFORE the election, why would he need Flynn as a go-between AFTER the election?

Speaking of airplane glue, I have just taken delivery of what I hope will be a great new model kit, though it is not an airplane.

Aerosani were a kind of propeller driven snowmobile used extensively by the Red army in World War II. They had some obvious limitations in rough or hilly terrain but were very useful on frozen lakes and rivers. There were several types including armored troop carriers, one of which is shown in the background of the above image.

The wingnuts don’t seem to understand the concept of a plea deal, they seem to honestly believe that this single charge is the sum total of the case against Mike Flynn. The idea that he’d plead guilty to a single charge on the promise of a light sentence in exchange for testimony seems to be totally lost on them. They honestly believe that there’s not more that Mueller could be charging Mikey with right now.

my kids also grew up with it

There’s that scene with the bird blowing up, IIRC? Anyway my son turned it off and has never finished it much less the others.

I watched a lot of Kim Possible and Avatar though.
