It says a lot that Team Trump is happily describing Giuliani’s talking point as brilliantly simplistic.
Nothing is ever brilliantly simplistic.

Asked to recommend a security plan, Heaphy suggested having the white nationalist protesters meet military or police escorts at an undisclosed location outside the District and then be taken to Lafayette Square by bus.
Heaphy said members of the transit workers union were within their rights to refuse to operate a train intended for white nationalists.
“Law enforcement has this professional obligation to protect speech, regardless of how hateful it is,” he said, “but transit workers don’t sign up for that.”

Trump’s terrified at the idea of Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House (and also Adam Schiff becoming Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee), but I think he’s probably most terrified of Maxine Waters becoming Chairperson of the House Financial Services Committee, which is why he’s gone after her so often (well, that, and because she’s a black woman, of course).
If the Democrats successfully retake the House this November, Maxine Waters becomes the Chairperson of a committee with very broad and extensive subpoena powers, including the power to subpoena the records of a private business entity (such as those of the Trump Organization or the Trump campaign), financial institutions (such as Deutsche Bank) and of course, individuals. Not just that, but the committee can subpoena the IRS for anyone’s tax records, and the IRS is legally obligated to hand them over.
That’s Trump’s worst nightmare.

re: #50 Teukka
They look like real deep thinkers.
Looks like there’s a new Star Trek TV series in the making:
[starts at 13:47]
As per Variety Magazine:
The exact plot details are being kept mostly under wraps, though the series is said to tell the story of the next chapter of Picard’s life. That indicates that it will take place after the events of “Star Trek: The Next Generation” rather than being a prequel or reboot.
The untitled series hails from Alex Kurtzman, James Duff, Akiva Goldsman, Michael Chabon, and Kirsten Beyer. Kurtzman, Duff, Goldsman, and Chabon will also serve as executive producers on the series along with Stewart, Trevor Roth, Heather Kadin, and Rod Roddenberry. CBS Television Studios will produce. The new series does not currently have a premiere date.
“I will always be very proud to have been a part of ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation,’ but when we wrapped that final movie in the spring of 2002, I truly felt my time with ‘Star Trek’ had run its natural course,” Stewart said. “It is, therefore, an unexpected but delightful surprise to find myself excited and invigorated to be returning to Jean-Luc Picard and to explore new dimensions within him. Seeking out new life for him, when I thought that life was over.”
“During these past years, it has been humbling to hear many stories about how ‘The Next Generation’ brought people comfort, saw them through difficult periods in their lives or how the example of Jean-Luc inspired so many to follow in his footsteps, pursuing science, exploration and leadership,” he continued. “I feel I’m ready to return to him for the same reason - to research and experience what comforting and reforming light he might shine on these often very dark times. I look forward to working with our brilliant creative team as we endeavor to bring a fresh, unexpected and pertinent story to life once more.”
I’m glad to see this, because there’s so much storytelling potential in a post-Dominion War setting. The entire quadrant is recovering; the Federation has survived the most devastating war in its history; Starfleet has been militarized, the Klingon and Romulan Empires suffered enormous losses, Cardassia Prime suffered the deaths of hundreds of millions when the planet was razed during the final hours before the Founder surrendered…yeah, there’s a lot of story ideas there.
Lets also bear in mind that the U.S.S. Voyager returned home with Delta Quadrant technology as well as Borg technology and future tech. From the logic of story-telling, that should lead to a major shift in the balance of power to the Federation.

Nearly 24 hours after Perry’s response, the award was still listed on the Patriots for Perry website. The Hill has reached out to the campaign for comment.

I’ve heard conflicting stories - either a drone assassination attempt (that’d be a first, though I’ve heard of off-the-shelf drones being used in combat; ISIS was pretty well-known for that) or a gas explosion from a nearby apartment.
Has it been confirmed as a bona fide assassination attempt on President Maduro? To be blunt, I wouldn’t really be shocked - he’s made a lot of enemies, so I’d imagine a list of the usual suspects would stretch halfway to Mars.

Agree about Rockwell: he is unjustly denigrated, IMO, as a “mere” illustrator: his technique was magazine-level, but he had a skill with composition on (again, IMO) many Old Masters would envy.
And also about McNaugton’s repros: if he’s selling even “dozens” of them, there’se no way they’re anything but some sort of “print”, although probably the canvas type ( at those prices).
But I wouldn’t call Jon McNaughten even an “ illustrator”: I see him basically as a political cartoonist: sort of a Ben Garrison or Mike Steyer (sp?) with better technique.

re: #87 Patricia Kayden
There’s a very disturbing detail in that article:
Memphis Police’s fake ‘Bob Smith’ account: Among the revelations from a recently released trove of Memphis Police documents is a gem: MPD kept tabs on local activists’ social media accounts with a fake Facebook account registered to a “Bob Smith.”
From The Guardian’s story:
This [surveillance project] included the publication of daily joint information briefings on potential protests and known protesters. According to the ACLU’s lawsuit, the briefings regularly included information about meetings on private property, panel discussions, town halls, and even innocuous events like “Black Owned Food Truck Sunday.”
It’s no wonder city attorneys initially fought the unsealing of the documents. Police were meeting daily (!) to discuss activists, including Black Lives Matter activists. That’s not a good look for Memphis, which already has a history of spying on its citizens.
Now, let me inject a little nuance into my take: Checking social media for information about protests makes complete sense. Memphis Police should know what’s going on.
However, Memphis Police should employ their oft-touted community policing methods on social media. Instead of secretive surveillance of citizens, develop relationships. Have actual officers get to know activists and truly befriend them on social media. Show you’re not out to get activists but protect them. Work with them, not against them.
Unfortunately, that’s not what happened. Instead, Memphis police treated activists — treated citizens exercising their rights — like the enemy. I’ve said it before and will again: Mayor Jim Strickland should take the initiative, regardless of the outcome of the ACLU lawsuit, and stop police from burning bridges in response to a protest on one.

Is he (trump) gone yet? LWC and I went to see the Iowa yesterday. It’s highly worthwhile even though some of the interesting parts of the ship are not yet ready for the public. And not disabled friendly yet. Engineering rooms are still off limits for example. I did get a good look at the armored command room. 17.5 inches of steel. The outer steel is armor, kinda brittle, backed by softer steel to prevent spalling (interior shrapnel) casualties. A 5 inch shell had once hit this armor on a turret, a high explosive warhead. They have an arrow pointing to that spot so you can see the slight texture change on the surface. This is a shell of the type that turret would fire 3 at a time.
The technology is all electro mechanical. Or just mechanical. After seeing 17.5 inch armor I went looking for the thinnest steel used around. As a part of the vessel, that’s 1/4 inch.
IOWA is a deal for a couple hour history lesson. Men that served on her were there telling stories and answering questions.

Another reason to watch out messing around with Bitcoin: Bitcoin Whale’s Bad Trade Leaves Counterparties Holding the Bag
A massive wrong-way bet on Bitcoin left an unidentified futures trader unable to cover losses, burning counterparties and threatening to dent confidence in one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency venues.
The long position in Bitcoin futures listed on OKEx, a Hong Kong-based exchange, had a notional value of about $416 million, according to an OKEx statement on Friday and data compiled by Bloomberg. OKEx moved to liquidate the position on Tuesday, but the exchange was unable to cover the trader’s shortfall as Bitcoin’s price slumped. Because OKEx has a “socialized clawback” policy for such instances, it will force futures traders with unrealized gains this week to give up about 18 percent of their profits.

On a butte above New Mexico’s Leandro Canyon last week, chilled observers fell silent as a voice on the public-address system reached the end of the countdown. For a tense moment, nothing happened. Then the earth jolted underfoot and a dull, distant boom was heard, followed by a second, more gentle, rolling shock. Someone shouted: “We did it! We did it!” Hand shakes were exchanged all around. The U.S. had successfully set off the first nuclear explosion sponsored jointly by the Government and industry.
The natural gas work culminated in 1973 with the explosion of three 33-kiloton bombs thousands of feet underground in Rio Blanco, Colorado. The key problem was that the gas this produced had measurable amounts of radioactivity. Not surprisingly, that created political problems for the method, even though the scientists involved in the experiments claimed the radiation would not be detrimental to public health.

Document: Judge Howell Upholds the Legitimacy of Mueller’s Appointment
On Aug. 2, Chief Judge Beryl Howell of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia affirmed the constitutionality of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s appointment under the Appointments Clause, denying a witness’s motion to quash subpoenas issued by the special counsel’s office. The witness is not named in court documents, but has been identified by his counsel as former Roger Stone assistant Andrew Miller.

Judge Howell’s ruling was actually the third on the subject. The previous two rulings were in both of the federal cases against Manafort, who tried in both to challenge Mueller’s authority and the breadth of his investigation’s scope. All three rulings came to the same conclusion: Mueller’s appointment was constitutional and it is totally within the power of Rosenstein’s office to give Mueller a broad scope for his investigation.

re: #290 garzooma
With regard to Christopher Steele’s dossier imbroglio and collusion, the American public deserves to know the difference between the alleged Trump collusion with Russia and the dossier compiled by Steele [“Facing heat on Russia, Trump hits at Clinton,” front page, Oct. 30].
The Trump campaign allegedly worked hand in glove with the Russian government to dig up dirt on Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton to affect the U.S. election, which I believe is clearly illegal. The dossier by Steele was classic espionage against the Russian government paid for initially by unnamed Republicans and later (after Donald Trump was nominated) funded by Democrats to collect opposition data on Trump. These actions are on opposite ends of the data collection spectrum. Collusion is cooperating collectively toward a given end, especially for an illegal or deceitful purpose. Espionage is the collecting of information against the will of the target (i.e., Russia). Big difference in intent. If the Trump campaign colluded with Russia, that is illegal. Paying Steele to conduct espionage to collect what the Russians may have had on Trump is not, but it may be of national security import by, for example, exposing a U.S. president to blackmail.

It’s illegal for a campaign to solicit or accept donations (cash or “things of value”) from any foreigner, and most especially foreign governments. And most ESPECIALLY a foreign military.
Hillary paid an American oppo research company to do oppo research, for which her campaign paid the going rate. That company hired a researcher to do the research, and paid him the going rate.
What went on in Trump Tower and Wikileaks, is the Russian military donating hundreds of millions of dollars worth of goods and services to the Trump campaign. That would be illegal on its face, even if the goods and services were legit. But the hacking is also a crime, so receiving stolen goods in addition to the illegal foreign donations.

Chuck’s finding out that even if you choose not to decide, you’ve still made a choice. The media who didn’t jump on the “Hillary is the epitome of evil” bandwagon decided instead to be a part of the “Both Sides Are Wrong” chorus line, so they’re not going to find much sympathy outside of their own little echo chambers. The half of the country that isn’t fitting to lynch them is instead disgusted with their hostility to any criticism.

Hi #TXSen folks! I have taken the @FiveThirtyEight database and cross referenced the tweets of confirmed Russian Bots accounts with users within the #TXSen Community.

Or you just have some kind of temporal anomaly that would restore the original timeline.
There’s tons of possibilities for hand-waving away lapses in continuity in sci-fi.

My favorite Patrick Stewart story: We once ran into each other on the same flight. He’s got quite the recognizable mug, so I went up to him, and I said, “Aren’t you…” And he looked up at me with delight and said, “Well, aren’t YOU!”

True, but also recall that the prequel film series takes place in an alternate timeline.
So what you could have is two timelines co-existing side-by-side - parallel realities, essentially.

re: #354 makeitstop
Yeah. Maybe Hope Hicks told Mueller everything she knows. And then told Trump and Sekulow that not only did she do that, but that Mueller knows everything.
Everything.

“Mueller wasn’t really taking notes when I talked. It was more like he was checking things off.”
re: #311 Targetpractice
If this had happened in a rich white suburb, there would have been Congressional hearings, massive emergency federal aid, and a titanic engineering program started immediately to fix every single inch of contaminated water lines. There would be criminal trials, with the bastards responsible spending decades in prison for a laundry list of crimes.
But it happened to black folks, so the problem gets swept under the rug and the victims expected to keep being victimized.
Probably not even here legally. /S 1/2
Prediction: Trump’s lawyers are going to try to make a case that because other people post under his name none of his tweets are admissible in court.

“The past is another country. They do things differently there.”
I went to California public schools K-12, before Prop 13.
We had 20 kids to a class, new textbooks every 4 years, honors and AP courses at the high school, gifted & talented program at elementary school, we had well-stocked science labs and a good library that got new stuff every month, music and art and athletics, field trips…
