Watch Live: Press Secretary Sarah Sanders Lies Her Way Through Another Press Conference - No Smokey Eye!

She looks a little down in the dumps. I wonder if she’s become self-conscious about her lying.
Too funny. Michelle Wolf intimidated her so much she changed her makeup.
LOL. So we’re supposed to believe that Alan Garten, the private Trump Org’s lead counsel, also represents the White House Medical Unit?

Also, I’m guessing that’s not normally done via a “raid” but with correspondence on the White House letterhead with appropriately signed HIPPA forms… you know, like what would happen if any ordinary person changed doctors.

I didn’t see any of the SHS presser. She really blamed Obama for the incorrect information on a WH press release?
She is learning all of Trump’s tricks. Blame everything on past office holders and tell them your administration is having to fix everything.
By the way, I see an image of SHS on the right side of the page in a Tweet from Charles. She looks better without the smokey eyes. it makes her look younger and fresher.
Maybe Michelle Wolf actually helped Sarah consider things.
LOL, nice.

Looks like Kanye has run afoul of the Crips due to his throwing in with Trump.
Snoop’s cousin Daz Dillinger put the word out.
A former member of Snoop Dogg’s rapping entourage is calling for gang members to assault Kanye West for his recent support of President Donald Trump.
Daz Dillinger, who recorded several successful hip hop records as part of Tha Dogg Pound duo in the 1990s, made the apparent threat in a video posted to his Instagram, which was later removed.
“Yo national alert, all the Crips out there, y’all f— Kanye up,” he said, referring to the infamous Los Angeles-area street gang.
Hope Ye keeps his head down. I don’t agree with his Trump support, but I don’t want anybody to get hurt.
This should end well.

I love you France, but your word for “ninety” is ridiculous.
The standard French word is quatre-vingt dix, which is “four-twenty ten”. Which, you know, makes sense in a way, but there’s a bit of room for optimization. Lots of French is like that. However, in Belgium you just say “nonante”, which is a lot better.
Also, “what is it” = “qu’est-ce que c’est” = “what is that it is”.

I have to disagree with that. The Earth is a differentiated body—a lot of the most valuable elements are siderophiles and sunk to the core while the crust is depleted in them. Many asteroids were never large enough to melt completely and still retain Solar System abundances of heavy metals. Others have endured collisions and are basically bare cores, like Psyche. There’s an awful lot of valuable material out there.

Allison, working through the BB&T Charitable Foundation, gives schools grants of as much as $2 million if they agree to create a course on capitalism and make Rand’s masterwork, “Atlas Shrugged,” required reading.
And from 2015
Banking on the Curriculum
One contract included the creation of an Ayn Rand “reading room” in the department, while others stipulated the development of a dedicated “center” of some sort — in some cases, just a website. Others funded faculty chairs or other professorships, contractually geared in some cases to ideological allies…some 42 institutions with Moral Foundations programs also had received donations from the Koch brothers’ charities. Both BB&T and the Kochs also have been major contributors to the Ayn Rand Institute.

Which will be nearly impossible to haul back to Earth, safely.
Climbing out of Earth’s gravity well is very expensive. It limits the size of what we can put up.
Conversely, coming back down … well, there’s reason even a tiny meteorites make big bangs.
“Low Earth Orbit is halfway to anywhere.” Literally. With gravity losses and drag it’s ~9450 m/s. Effective infinity—the outer Solar System—is another 8800, and you can use electric engines of one sort or another.
Earth’s atmosphere is an advantage. Say you’re going to Mars and back. Aerobraking at both ends cuts your ∆V in half, and your mass ratio is the square root of what it would be.

Uh yeah we do. We have people who actually know about Korea and speak the language.
In other news…sexist analyst is sexist.
CNN legal analyst Paul Callan implied Monday night that adult film actress Stormy Daniels would have a hard time convincing a jury that President Donald Trump had caused substantial damages as a result of his alleged defamation of her, given her career.
Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford, sued Trump for defamation on Monday over his comment about a sketch artist’s version of a man Daniels said threatened her to keep quiet about her alleged affair with Trump. The sketch, Trump said, was of a “nonexistent man.”
Callan wondered aloud to CNN’s Anderson Cooper and Daniels’ lawyer, Michael Avenatti, whether Daniels would be able to prove that Trump’s alleged defamation incurred special damages.
“Are you arguing that just because somebody is in adult film, that they cannot be defamed?” Cooper asked the analyst.
“Anderson, I’ve tried a lot of cases through the years, and as a matter of principle, you’re probably right, somebody who’s made 500 pornographic films can be defamed in theory,” Callan responded. “But you put 12 ordinary people on a jury and say to them, ‘award her money because somebody called her a liar,’ I think you’d have a hard time getting a substantial damage award.”

If they were willing to kill other white people to keep blacks in bondage, imagine how much more willing they were to kill black people to accomplish that.

re: #110 makeitstop
In other news…sexist analyst is sexist.
Damages in defamation cases are always hard to establish. Which is why the California Civil Jury Instruction includes this bit:
Even if [name of plaintiff] has not proved any actual damages for harm to reputation or shame, mortification or hurt feelings, the law assumes that [he/she] has suffered this harm. Without presenting evidence of damage, [name of plaintiff] is entitled to receive compensation for this assumed harm in whatever sum you believe is reasonable. You must award at least a nominal sum, such as one dollar.
In short, if a plaintiff proves the elements, then the jury has to award her damages, even if it’s a nominal amount. Also, because it is an intentional tort, the defendant could be liable for punitive damages.
re: #126 Big Beautiful Door
LOL!! I’d pretend. I can act like Diamond and Silk before they pick me.
Example infinity that John Kasich is NOT a moderate (or even a reasonable facsimile of a decent person.)
John Kasich (R) officially submitted a request to the Department of Health and Human Services for permission to force the roughly 700,000 people enrolled in the state’s Medicaid expansion to prove they’re working at least 80 hours per month. If the waiver is approved, Ohioans unable to find work would have to get placed with an organization in their county and work without pay to earn the value of their health care benefits…
Ohio’s proposal is unique, in that it would force thousands of people to work enough hours to earn the dollar value of their Medicaid benefits.
“If an individual isn’t working, they are sent to the county, and the county places them in different ‘work experience’ sites — usually a local charity or non-profit where they would do clerical work,” McGarvey (Legal Aid rep) explained. “They don’t get paid by the organization they’re placed at; they’re just earning enough to meet their benefits requirement. If you do the math, it doesn’t come out anywhere close to the minimum wage. It’s closer to $2 to 3 an hour.” (bold mine.)
Yes, Johnny, let’s make people be indentured servants for their health coverage—that’s so fucking Christian of you, you poseur.

re: #120 jaunte
Calling Ivanka Trump in for an interview, former Justice Department officials and legal experts said, would be risky primarily for two reasons: it would give the public perception that the prolonged investigation has reached the point of harassing the president’s family members, giving Trump more ammunition to decry how unfairly he and his family are being treated in an investigation he has already deemed a “witch hunt.”
And it would carry with it the very real possibility that the reactive president would “go nuclear,” according to a former federal prosecutor, once again raising the possibility of pardons or toying with the idea of firing the special counsel all together.
This is not a prolonged investigation. This is an investigation of a potentially major crime that has no precedent in American history, and it takes time. She is not just a member of his family - she is a White House aide, she was a member of the campaign, she is, in short, a key fucking witness (technical legal term, there).
By all means, give Trump more ammunition, he will simply find a new and creative way to point the gun at his own genitals and fire repeatedly.
Oh, and there’s a name of Trump going nuclear as the author suggests: abuse of power. Last I checked, that’s an impeachable offense.

The point of travel to Mars, IMO, is establishing a self-sustaining colony before we destroy Earth.
I for one do not think this is pragmatic.
We live on this planet only because there is a net positive energy storage in the entire biosphere, that allows us humans to mine said energy (some we consume directly into our gut, some we employ in external machinery).
Even then, we use still exploit more energy than the biosphere saves, e.g., nuclear and solar energy.
The important part of moving this energy around is also the chemistry: the biosphere remodels the chemical makeup around us, which we need.
In short - we are part of, and totally dependent upon, the entire biome of this planet. To recreate that on Mars is an effort that would dwarf all other tasks humans have attempted.

re: #132 The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge
I’ve been called for jury duty maybe 10 times. Went through voir dire probably 30. Never got put on a jury. You have to basically convince both sides that you don’t know anything, have no opinions about anything, and have no interest in learning about anything. I guess I was never a good enough actor.
My spouse has been on a jury twice. One criminal, one civil…although she will never be allowed on a criminal trial again because of her forensics degree now.

I’m on call for 4 weeks as a juror for Federal District Court in SE Alaska. So far 3 weeks without being called. There is an interesting Federal case working its way up the system. It’s a “Murder On The High Seas” trial. A husband has been accused of murdering his wife in their cruise ship cabin. Since the event occurred at sea it’s a Federal case instead of being a State case.
From the newspaper reports, the defendant was found in a locked, blood splattered room with a dead, blood covered wife. Should be an interesting trial if the case gets that far.
Heh.

Everybody, I know we all hate jury duty and the boredom and low pay etc etc.
However.
I live in Greensboro where THIS happened:
The Greensboro massacre is the term for an event which took place on November 3, 1979, when members of the Communist Workers’ Party and others demonstrated in a “Death to the Klan” march in Greensboro, North Carolina, United States. The CWP, which advocated that Klan members should be “physically beaten and chased out of town”, engaged in a shootout with members of the Ku Klux Klan and the American Nazi Party.[1] Four members of the Communist Workers’ Party, and one other individual were killed and eleven other demonstrators and a Klansman were wounded. The CWP supported workers’ rights activism among mostly black textile industrial workers in the area.[2][3]
Two criminal trials of several Klan and ANP members were conducted: six men were prosecuted in a state criminal trial in 1980, five were charged with murder. All were acquitted. A second, federal criminal civil rights trial in 1984 concluded with the acquittal of the nine defendants. In the first trial, the jury concluded that the defendants acted in self-defense. In the second trial, the jury concluded that the defendant’s actions were based on political, rather than racial, motivations.
You want to know why the Klan and the Nazis murdered people in road daylight on city streets in front of hundreds of witnesses and got away with it?
My landlord worked at Lorillard Tobacco with the guy who was the jury foreman in the first criminal trial. His parents fled from Cuba during the Revolution, and he had a grudge. He lied deliberately TO GET ON THE JURY.
He made sure those socialist doctors and nurses who were gunned down paid for his anger. He made sure the Nazis and KKK walked away. He had an agenda. He succeeded.
While you are trying to get out of jury duty, you leave the door open for this guy.
Just saying.

But this is what is happening: the trees are struggling, and our increasingly irregular weather makes it hard to time when the fruit is at its best. There were lots of green fruit in Feb, but the hot weather following really messed things up.
I think it would be interesting to be on a jury. Have been called before, but I was about 300 miles away from home attending college. Another time I was called and spent the day waiting around with the others while the case got delayed. All of us were sent home.
I would not do anything to get out of serving at this point, but being a massive Lib would probably kill my chances.

It’s a specialty genre that doesn’t get much traction around here (San Diego.) WWE comes to town a couple of times a year and holds a show at the Arena (now named after a casino whose name I can’t recall.) But down in TJ there are lucha libre shows more often.
Even UFC doesn’t come.
San Diego is not a good market for indoor sports and entertainment, for the number of people who live here.
So Trump’s doctor is now flipping on him, and admits what everyone already knew - that Trump dictated that ridiculous medical report he signed? Oh, this is getting good.

I served once on a traffic case that should have been handled by Judge Judy, but unfortunately one of the litigants was the insurance company rather than the party involved. So it had to go to court.
My impression is that these days occasionally even attorneys will be seated on juries, though that probably depends on the jurisdiction and nature of the case.

re: #212 Charles Johnson
And is it going to matter to Trumpworld supporters?
They don’t believe anything that isn’t published on Fox.
The corruption and lies are endless with this cabal. And everyone with a functioning neuron knew Borenstein was lying about Trump’s medical condition/status from the outset. It was always a sham, and that Trump’s goons wanted to get their medical records from him before anyone else got their hands on it shows that they know the walls are closing in and the lies matter.
It’s also why Trump’s doubling down on the attacks on Mueller. He needs to try and discredit him at all costs because Mueller’s closing on Trump’s family directly.
Everyone seems to wonder why Ivanka isn’t a target just yet and why he hasn’t pulled the trigger on Jared.
It’s because you don’t want to tip off the targets until the trap is sprung and you’ve crossed and dotted. Mueller doesn’t want to let anyone know what he’s got until he’s ready to move on everyone Mueller intends to indict - and if he moves prematurely against someone like Ivanka, he risks Trump going full blown constitutional crisis on the nation in the process.
So when Mueller moves, it’ll be indictments against everyone in one fell swoop so it doesn’t seem like he’s attacking just Ivanka or Jared - it’s taking down an entire criminal syndicate (which is why parallels to the mob and RICO are appropriate).

I stopped ever getting called about 10 years ago. It used to be they had to get potential jurors off of the voter rolls, and then they’d draw from a much smaller subset who would actually show up. As soon as they changed the law so that they could draw from the whole population, I haven’t been summoned since.

I have served once. The defendant, a 19 year old, represented himself. My empathy, I have trouble watching people make fools of themselves even if they’re just a character on TV, made me very very uncomfortable.

It’s funny, growing up in LA/OC we used to get lucha on the Spanish stations. I never watched much because my Spanish was terrible, despite my Cuban roots, but it always seemed so much more entertaining than the (then) WWF.
As for San Diego’s merits as a location, it seems weird that it wouldn’t do well. LA and Anaheim both do pretty well with those kinds of events, and there’s not that much of a difference between the markets.

Part of me really wants to see Mueller subpoena Trump. The freak out from the wingularity when the Supreme Court comes down 9-0 that he has to abide by the subpoena will be magical.
And yes, I do think they’ll come down 9-0, if only to protect the courts as a co-equal branch.

Trump lies about everything and is served by sycophants who will also lie to support his deceptions. Bornstein is one thing — he’s been with Trump for years; but Jackson is far more troubling. Either Bush or Obama should have dismissed him years ago, but his amazing grovelling in public when reporting on Trump’s health demonstrated that he was a man of no courage nor perhaps character.
re: #230 KGxvi
Is not the dividing line whether the President can be indicted, rather than be served a subpoena?
The latter, as in the case with Stormy, is to require testimony, but that is not an indictment.

My guess is that if Team Trump refuses an interview, then Mueller can/should subpoena Trump. I suspect that if Trump is subpoenaed, his legal team would fight it because he’s the president yada yada yada, this is (not really) a question for during the investigation. Based on Watergate and Clinton era precedent, the Court is going to tell Trump he has to appear pursuant to the subpoena.
The question of whether the president can be indicted is a post investigation question. I really don’t know the answer to that question. I think he could be, but it makes sense (from a political and legal basis) to say that impeachment should come first. It also raises the question as to whether there is some sort of tolling that would apply to the statute of limitations while one is president (pre-Clinton, litigation against the president would be tolled during his term).
I’m going to have to dig back into the Federalist Papers on impeachment, if only because I consider that sort of thing “fun.”

You have to basically convince both sides that you don’t know anything, have no opinions about anything, and have no interest in learning about anything. I guess I was never a good enough actor.
Actually, you’d be surprised: I once got called up for a trial for DUI and resisting. I calmly explained that I had a BA in Criminology, a family history of rampant alcohol and drug abuse, a father and brother who had both been arrested for DUI *and* done time for aggravated assaults fueled by drinking, among other things, and a grandmother who had committed suicide one weekend by locking herself in her room and drinking an entire case of vodka.
Somehow, everyone involved was cool with all this.
