My Internet service went out last night you lucky devils. It was only just restored. (No, I won’t get a refund for the outage, because capitalism. Don’t like it, go to another company. Oh, wait, there isn’t one.)

That Time When Brett Kavanaugh Tried to Limit Compensation for 9/11 Families (goes to Wonkette, more at the link):

But don’t let Trump’s glorious heroism blind you to the courage of others’ contributions, like the important work Brett Kavanaugh did following 9/11/01, like when he helped frame thinking on how completely the Bush administration could screw Muslims in the USA (which he may have lied about in judicial confirmation hearings). Also, too, as early as October 2001, Kavanaugh was helping with plans to limit compensation of 9/11 victims to just $500,000, as the New York Daily News reported at the end of August.

As Congress was debating the parameters of the fund, Kavanaugh wrote to Bush aide Kristen Silverberg on Oct. 14, 2001, that questions were being raised about “3 aspects of our proposal” including a “$500,000 cap.”

Fortunately, Senator Chuck Schumer and others in Congress didn’t let that bullshit go through. The government eventually put in place a Victims Compensation Fund headed by Kenneth Feinberg, and there were no limits placed on the amount of compensation awarded to survivors and their family members. Feinberg

decided compensation based on a number of factors such as “the economic loss suffered as a result of the victim’s premature death” as well as “pain and suffering.”

I could be charitable, and suggest that maybe he heard Paul Krugman state that you can’t go bankrupt if your debt is all in a currency you print, and misunderstood what he meant. But Trump’s stupider than that.

I mean, technically, he’s right. But it’ll only work once. Then it turns into Argentina/Venezuela/pick your other favorite basketcase economy. And of course, being that the US dollar is the main reserve currency for the world, it’d probably be even worse/take the entire global economy down with it… and that would probably lead to a very big war, because that tends to be how the world gets out of global economic depressions.

I guess the reason why he doesn’t give a fuck about the environment is the same as most other things. He’s too stupid and greedy.

To me, no matter how wealthy you are, if you have a family, you might want to do things to help the environment, not poison it for your kids.

I think the dumbass just listens to one of his cronies talk about how oppressive and expensive all those regulations are and boom, more destruction.

Guess he really doesn’t give a damn about his kids and grandkids.

Compassionate conservatism in action:

More Than 2,000 Puerto Ricans Applied For Funeral Assistance After Hurricane Maria. FEMA Approved Just 75.

FEMA approved just 3% of applications for funeral assistance from more than 2,000 Puerto Rican families who lost loved ones after Hurricane Maria, according to a letter the agency head wrote to Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

In response to an earlier letter from Warren, Brock Long, director of FEMA, wrote on Aug. 14 that as of July 30, his agency had received 2,431 requests for funeral assistance from Puerto Ricans related to the hurricane — they approved just 75 of them, meaning 97% have either been rejected or have not received a decision almost a year after Maria hit the island.

A friend of mine had a 124 Spider. She loved that car, kept it up really nice. Used to take it to a local garage that mostly serviced more exotic, but still Italian sports cars. One time she told me that her car was a Ferrari that day - the garage had put the smog sniffer up its tailpipe rather than the Ferrari they were supposed to be testing.

And, didn’t she threaten to ruin the chair umpires career during the rant?

But when Nadal said exactly the same thing to Ramos last year, no biggie.

Rafael Nadal lambasted chair umpire Carlos Ramos at his pre-quarter-final match against Roberto Bautista Agut at the French Open yesterday, saying he would “never chair another of his matches again.”

He confirmed that he had done so in the post-match press conference.

I get the same with any goldbug or silverbug. It only has value because we agree it has value (beyond industrial or artistic uses).

Gold and silver coinage are actually “fiat money” as well.

The claim is they are relatively scarce, so they have intrinsic value. Uranium is relatively rare and sells for about $26 a pound now.

My wife created Plutonium Pounds in the game “Nation States” because plutonium is relatively rare and money made out of plutonium would prevent hoarding.

We-e-elll…. Not really. Our debt is denominated in our own currency, which we print. Those other countries borrowed money denominated in currencied they DON’T control. So, when their currency starts inflating, it has no effect on their level of debt. They can print all the Bolivars they want to, but their debt is in dollars.

But the point is a good one, that you can’t just print enough cash to cover a $21 Trillion national debt without fucking things up royally.

The medical bit is dumb, but comes up occasionally because federal judges have life time appointments and thus tend to get old. But the bits about live streaming hearings at the appellate level isn’t terrible.

The bill also gives the president the power to appoint more than 50 additional judges to district courts across the country, including seven judges to the federal District Court for the Central District of California.

The House Judiciary Committee is expected to mark up the bill on Thursday, along with another piece of legislation introduced by Issa that adds five more judges to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and breaks it into four divisions — Northern, Middle, Southern and Circuit.

district courts are trial courts. they’re quite important because the trial record sets the appellate record. I wasn’t aware that the central district needed 7 new judges (it may well, it covers Los Angeles, Riverside, Orange, Santa Barbara, Ventura, San Luis Obispo, and San Bernardino Counties)

The only time I ever got called for jury duty was when I was stationed on an aircraft carrier in the Med. According to Navy Regulations, a command is supposed to release you for jury duty regardless of where you are stationed, unless you are so-called critical personnel. My command wouldn’t release me.

President Oscar De La Hoya?!?!

Don’t scoff — the boxing legend says he’s “very seriously” considering running for the highest office in the land … and he’s already putting together an exploratory team.

“I am actually very, very serious and I strongly feel that if a Kanye West can do it and announce and maybe tease the world that he would maybe one day wanna run for president, why not me?”

Obviously, Oscar has no experience as an elected politician — but as ODLH pointed out on “TMZ Live,” neither did Donald Trump.

So, what convinced Oscar to explore politics?

“I’ve had literally, over the years, ever since I became a professional in boxing, I’ve had millions of people tell me, ‘Look, why don’t you represent? Why don’t you stand up and have a bigger voice?’ And obviously, the biggest voice you can have is being president.”

I frankly hated it, hated the case we were on, hated the fact that my expensive legal education failed to get me off another jury panel, but the money was decent when it showed up. Worked out to about $60 a day. Oh and I still got my regular hourly (yet another reason I got picked for the jury, my employer counts jury service as part of community stuffs and judges love employers like that).

Adam Clymer, veteran New York Times political reporter and editor, dies at 81

Adam Clymer, who covered national politics for the New York Times and other newspapers in a career that took him from the “Boys on the Bus” era of campaign-trail reportage to the hot center of the 2000 presidential race, died Sept. 10 at his home in Washington. He was 81.

He had pancreatic cancer, said his friend Rick Berke, a former Times colleague and the executive editor of the health news website Stat.

A crusty veteran of the Washington press corps, Mr. Clymer wrote books on President Ronald Reagan and Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.), and spent decades covering the White House and the halls of Congress, where he often called lawmakers by their first names — “a reflection of how things used to be more cozy with reporters and politicians,” Berke speculated, “or, more likely, the fact that he had covered them for so long.”

Mr. Clymer was the reporter who called George W Bush a “major league asshole” not realising a microphone was on at the time.

You were asked to provide proof, and the nearest you can come is something we’ve all said - that the GOP has given up any standing to demand to know “How are you gonna pay for that?” - which is not even close to what you claimed.

You made the assertion, you failed to back it up when called on it.

She notes the story includes cops on unicycles.

Young, arrogant tycoon Earl Grey seduces the naïve coed Anna Steal with his overpowering good looks and staggering amounts of money, but will she be able to get past his fifty shames, including shopping at Walmart on Saturdays, bondage with handcuffs, and his love of BDSM (Bards, Dragons, Sorcery, and Magick)? Or will his dark secrets and constant smirking drive her over the edge?

Oh, and then there’s this bit:

district courts are trial courts. they’re quite important because the trial record sets the appellate record. I wasn’t aware that the central district needed 7 new judges (it may well, it covers Los Angeles, Riverside, Orange, Santa Barbara, Ventura, San Luis Obispo, and San Bernardino Counties)

Basically, it’s a court-packing scheme: figleafed, as these proposals usually are, by the unconvincing cover story of “efficiency” - it doesn’t take a leap of imagination to figure out what sort of judges the GOP are likely to stack the District Courts with: the sort who would make Brett Kavanaugh look like a leftist.

The problem is getting convictions of unarmed black men on the street.

Prominent New Yorker and DJ Erick Morillo on his most memorable night as a DJ:

I will always remember my fourteen year old/freshman in high school reaction when I got to third grade World History class, “Huh, was the pilot drunk?” I know that sounds silly considering that this was my generation’s Pearl Harbor/JFK Assassination but it was just like “No way someone did that on purpose.” They let us out early that day. I walked home and my mom’s folks were at our house. My Dad’s memory of it is pretty interesting too. He was listening to Howard Stern and thought it was an old re-run from the ‘93 first bombing. A couple years prior and this was my first ever trip to NYC, we stayed at a Marriott- my Dad worked for them at the time that was in the Twin Towers.

You do have a more administrative role than ideological role though to be fair from what I understand so it’s a little easy for them to swallow their pride and vote for your communits self wink. I’m for letting the people decide what they want from their representatives. Obviously Alexandria and Ayanna Presley in Boston’s constituents were eager for change from what they had in Congress for over 20 years.

There was a WashPost ‘Fact Check’ done on her. I read it. They made the point that her performance is not significantly worse than most folks currently in Congress.

And when I read it, there were a couple things they called false which were, to my mind, basic campaign hyperbole, kind of like if you said, “Nobody in the working class is getting raises anymore” and someone called that false because even though that may be true for the majority, SOME people DID get raises.

And she’s 28, enthusiastic, charismatic, and we’ll see if she learns. I’m betting yes.

I don’t know who the fuck Ben Shapiro thinks he fucking is that every left winger in the country should have to debate him.

I have never mentioned this before for fear of being misunderstood, but one thing I remember about 9-11 was thinking that people needed to calm the fuck down. It was a terrible thing, but still just a terrorist attack, a criminal act. Our economic infrastructure, military capability, and most of the population were not substantially affected. In tangible effects, it was not in the same class as events like the Tokyo firebombing or the First Day on the Somme or, for that matter, the Flu pandemic of 1918. The death toll was smaller than the Battle of An Loc, in which I had personally participated. There would be war, but no rationing, no conversion of industry, no defensive mining of harbors, and no draft.
I think the media milked it for all the marketable pathos they could conjure up and I know that loved ones of some of the victims see it the same way. The Bush gang saw it as a heaven sent opportunity to mute critics, force their agenda on the world, and enrich their clients. They are still at it.

White Supremacists To Tucker Carlson: We’ve Got Your Back!

Oh, boy, Andrew Anglin of Daily Stormer is now weighing in on Tucker Carlson’s behalf over his diversity comments.

Apparently he posted an open letter to his Website, which Robyn Pennacchia drew the short straw over at Wonkette to go read.

She has the text of that letter in her article.

Tucker Carlson has been having a heck of a week, ever since he decided to go full 14 words on his show last Friday night and started demanding that all the “elites” explain to him why diversity is a good thing. While he’s been dragged by us and literally every other outlet on earth, he does have his supporters.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, those supporters are white supremacists.

Over on the Daily Stormer, Andrew Anglin, an actual Nazi, could not believe that anyone would dare suggest that Tucker Carlson was a racist simply for holding the same opinions about diversity as Andrew Anglin, an actual Nazi:

On the 17th anniversary of the JFK assassination, I was in third grade. They didn’t interrupt the day for us to solemnly remember JFK. There wasn’t anything for us to remember yet.

Did I learn about JFK later on in history class? Of course. Have I been to the Sixth Floor Museum and stood on the grassy knoll and visited the museum at Columbia Point and stood at his grave at Arlington?

Yes to all of those things. But it will never be the visceral shock to the system for me that it is to my parents and was to my grandparents. That’s how history works.

In a couple of days, it will be the 117th anniversary of William McKinley’s assassination.

The two have an argument, she pulls her gun with an intent on ordering him to comply, and then misinterprets his actions as “threatening.” So now she’s got a guy bleeding from two sucking chest wounds and no plausible excuse for why she was there, so she calls in a 911 and starts making up shit about how it was all a “mistake.”

As much as I think she engaged in some stupidly deliberate actions, I don’t feel she went up there or pulled her gun with the intent of killing him. I’m at least willing to entertain the idea that she was prepared to abuse her power without leading to his death.

I don’t think she’s going to walk. I think a jury is going to find her guilty. She shot a man in his house.

The problem is getting convictions of unarmed black men on the street.

Just to add
Cops have shot and killed people in their own houses when theyve mistakenly gone into the wrong place

she wasn’t on duty
she didn’t even enter his house in the guise of performing police work

re: #161 HappyWarrior

I will always remember my fourteen year old/freshman in high school reaction when I got to third grade World History class, “Huh, was the pilot drunk?” I know that sounds silly considering that this was my generation’s Pearl Harbor/JFK Assassination but it was just like “No way someone did that on purpose.” They let us out early that day. I walked home and my mom’s folks were at our house. My Dad’s memory of it is pretty interesting too. He was listening to Howard Stern and thought it was an old re-run from the ‘93 first bombing. A couple years prior and this was my first ever trip to NYC, we stayed at a Marriott- my Dad worked for them at the time that was in the Twin Towers.

When I first saw it I called up my pilot buddy
We thought a small plane. How the hell did….
Then it became clear it was bigger than a private plane
Then the second one hit…

re: #213 HappyWarrior

Was Pearl Harbor commemorated on 12/7/58? I’m sorry. I really am but this mentality sucks. We should never forget what happened that day but we do need to move on in a way too. Eventually, I’d like us to see 9/11 as just another day.

New generations have to make their own history. Nobody remembers the Maine these days except us history majors, and I’d have to look up the date (1898-ish?) to be sure I remembered it right.

Hell, I didn’t even get the date of McKinley’s assassination right upthread. He was shot on Sept. 5 and didn’t die until the 14th, because medical care sucked massively then.

I’m guessing not a one of us had any kind of memorial for McKinley last Wednesday? Which is as it should be. History has to move on.

re: #186 Shiplord Kirel, Friend of Moose and Squirrel

I have never mentioned this before for fear of being misunderstood, but one thing I remember about 9-11 was thinking that people needed to calm the fuck down. It was a terrible thing, but still just a terrorist attack, a criminal act. Our economic infrastructure, military capability, and most of the population were not substantially affected. In tangible effects, it was not in the same class as events like the Tokyo firebombing or the First Day on the Somme or, for that matter, the Flu pandemic of 1918. The death toll was smaller than the Battle of An Loc, in which I had personally participated. There would be war, but no rationing, no conversion of industry, no defensive mining of harbors, and no draft.
I think the media milked it for all the marketable pathos they could conjure up and I know that loved ones of some of the victims see it the same way. The Bush gang saw it as a heaven sent opportunity to mute critics, force their agenda on the world, and enrich their clients. They are still at it.

You can’t discount what a difference it makes that NYC is NYC.

All the networks are headquartered here; they could film it from their own windows. And all the on-air personalities had personal friends and neighbors downtown, their kids went to school with people whose parents work at WTC. Lots of media people live downtown, where they could smell the fires. Jon Stewart, among others, had to move out of his apartment for more than 6 months until the toxic dust could be cleaned out of the place (and had to replace pretty much all the contents of his home).

Hurricane Maria killed and dislocated just as many people, but they weren’t New Yorkers so it gets way less attention.

There’s a picture on iFunny that my 13 year old was showing me. He was covering up the top half, so you could only see the guy in the front making a delivery. The idea behind the picture was that you’re going about your day trying to do your job, when… and in the background was the Twin Towers right after the planes had crashed. And he’d misinterpreted the picture. He though the smoke was from clouds.

So I had to explain to him the significance of the picture, including that people were going about there daily routine up until it happened. He knows a bit more about it now, but part of me is glad that it’s not etched in his mind.

It would be a bigger deal if they didn’t have so small a staff now that pretty much every day, they fill up most of the front page with big graphics and a single story, which often isn’t breaking news.

It was kind of refreshing, by contrast, to see the entire NY Post front page devoted to the Jets, while the Daily News did a small “WE’LL NEVER FORGET” and had actual news on the rest of the front page. New York knows how to move forward.

I will never wake up on a September 11 without having some visceral memory of the day. But it’s fine that my kids don’t, and why would I *want* them to wake up 70 years from now traumatized by something they weren’t even alive for?

Meanwhile, Alexandria’s actually running for an elected position where there’s actually accountability for her actions and not just a trollish smug douchebag on Twitter who always has the same lame “This is why Trump won” response to liberals calling right wingers out on their shit.

So far is there any evidence that there is accountability for Republicans in Congress? They have gotten away with lies for years. Maybe November will finally show them paying a penalty — but I am not optimistic.

Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski Go to War with Don Jr. Over Trump-9/11 Analogy (The Daily Beast)

On Tuesday’s Morning Joe, the host got more specific, citing the retweeting of Nazis and the reaction to Charlottesville as reasons why he feels Trump is hurting the country more than terrorists ever could. “That is tearing more at the fabric of America than attacks on the Twin Towers did. We rebuilt after that, we grew stronger after that, but this, to me, seems like a far graver threat.”

“Forget about knocking down buildings in the Financial District, forget about running planes into the Pentagon,” Scarborough said. “Those are tragedies, but those tragedies bring us closer together.” Quoting New York Times columnist Roger Cohen, he added, “America is an idea. Strip freedom, human rights, democracy and the rule of law from what the United States represents to the world and America itself is gutted.”

The comments drew a sharp rebuke from, among others, Donald Trump Jr., who demanded an apology from Scarborough “to the 3000+ families who lost loved ones on this tragic day.”

re: #287 HappyWarrior

That one is so stupid because the hijackers were passengers too. That means they would have brought guns on board. What wingnuts and this really surprises me given that a lot of them do in fact have military experience don’t get is that the element of surprise is what works. You’re on an airliner especially early in the day as the first flight was, you’re not expecting that to happen. I don’t care what meatheads like Mark Wahlberg say. You have no idea what the fuck you’d do until you’re actually there.

That particular element surprise didn’t even last long enough for the 3rd plane to hit its target. Yes, the passengers were heroic, but at that point they had already learned they were going to die and decided to take the plane down before more people were at risk.

re: #268 Big Beautiful Door

Be a little optimistic; Nate Silver says that as of today the Democrats have a 79% chance of winning control of the House!

Just a small dose of cold water: When I looked at 538 a week ago, the probability of winning the house was over 79%. And depending upon which version of the prediction you go by, the chance of winning goes down to 64%. So even with a optimistic projection, the optimism has to be tempered with the reality that we only win if we vote and get everybody we know to vote.

Since I was a Navy recruiter, I would note this.

Signing up for the military means you support what the government is doing wholeheartedly. That would mean supporting Trump and his enablers. That means going to war if Trump or the GOP congress decides we need to do that (or Trump got his feelings hurt by a tweet).

Remember the crowd you’re talking about are generally violent fuckers who think it’s wrong that they can’t beat up on anybody they feel like without getting in trouble with the law. This is the “might makes right” crowd which doesn’t feel comfortable unless they have a penis substitute jammed in a holster on their hip or slung over their shoulder.

Veterans History Project Recognizes Gold Star Family Day with Legacy Panel

Gold Star Mothers and Families Day is the last Sunday of September.

The Library of Congress Veterans History Project (VHP) will commemorate National Gold Star Mother’s and Family’s Day with a panel of renowned experts who will discuss how families and organizations honor and preserve the legacy of the United States military members who died as a result of their service in war.

The “Gold Star Legacy” panel will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 25 at 1 p.m. in the Whittall Pavilion of the Library’s Thomas Jefferson Building, 10 First Street, S.E., Washington, D.C. There are various ways individuals, families, communities and the nation can remember and pay tribute to fallen heroes while honoring their families. The discussion will include ways to educate the general public on the term “gold star,” and how to show that a grateful nation will never forget the ultimate sacrifice those service members made.

The event is free and open to the public, but an RSVP is required and there may be special restrictions. The public may send an email to vohp@loc.gov with the Subject: “Gold Star Panel” for reservations.

Yes, Chuck was a conservative Christian, but here he seems to be lamenting the Scandinavians’ conversion from their ancient pagan ways. It’s just a bizarre cartoon.

Also, every Norwegian police officer has a service firearm and training to use it, and in some cases a service semi-auto weapon, but they have to be explicitly ordered to take them out of storage. As I recall they don’t carry regularly in order to more easily de-escalate situations they may encounter.

Swedish police carry a pistol, but local TAC and national SWAT cops may request a commanding officer to break out the CGA5P’s for a gig, and all officers with the training for the CGA5P can be ordered to carry it. I saw it after 2017-04-17. And they have strict rules as to when they may use their service weapons. Their first line of action is to try to de-escalate, but if they have to, they will use their firearms.

The CGA5P is the civilian version of the Ak5D, which is the Swedish version of the FN FNC assault rifle with certain modifications, mostly to adapt the weapon to the partially subarctic Swedish climate.
