Bob Corker on migrant caravan: Republicans ‘using fear’ for midterm votes https://t.co/YocYGwYfh9
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) October 31, 2018
E-mail from the Secular Coalition for America … (I was on the board to set up the state chapter for a short time).
The Election of the Living Dead
Our government has been overtaken by zombies. Unlike the fictional zombies of horror movies, these zombies don’t eat brains, instead sustaining themselves by devouring the civil rights of anyone who is different from them. These zombies dress in suits, regularly appear on television, and occupy some of the most powerful positions in our government. These are the religious right’s zombie politicians.
(kinda long, rest behind the hide bar)
These zombies are animated by a worldview and a constituency that is dying out, but they continue to maintain a cold, undead grip on our political system. From 2006-2017, the white evangelical constituency declined from 23% of the population to just 15%. Additionally, the American people overwhelmingly reject the religious right’s positions on a wide-range of issues including same-sex marriage, abortion, access to contraceptives, and religiously-based discrimination. At the same time, the number of nonreligious Americans has skyrocketed from 16% in 2007 to 29% in 2018.
So why have these zombies risen from the graveyard of ideas to the highest levels of political power?
Voter Turnout
While white evangelicals makeup a shrinking share of the population, they have extremely high voter turnout rates. In 2016, white evangelicals made up about 15% of the population but comprised 26% of the electorate. In a depressing contrast, the nonreligious comprised 25% of the population in 2016 but made up only 15% of the electorate.
Cold hard cash
These zombies are so well-funded it would make Dracula blush. Five of the top groups representing the religious right spend nearly $25 million each year lobbying state and federal lawmakers to embrace their bigoted agenda. This money gives them an outsized influence in politics and pays for the electricity that keeps their Frankenstein ideas alive on Capitol Hill.
We need your help to keep the 2018 midterm elections from becoming a horror story.
The election is just a few days away and early polling suggests that nonreligious voters are poised to play a crucial role in deciding the outcome. That’s great news, but we need to make sure that nonreligious voters become a powerhouse constituency that we can count on to vote in this election and every election.
The wall between church and state is all that stands between our rights and the theocratic zombies who want to force their religious beliefs on all of us. That’s why we’re counting on you to help support our work mobilizing nonreligious voters and countering the religious right’s agenda here in Washington. With your help we can beat these zombies at the ballot box and stop this November from becoming the election of the living dead.

Don’t know if it’s been posted here already, but the case of the two girls whose bodies were washed up on the Hudson shore of Manhattan last week, duct-taped together, has just gotten weirder. They have been identified as two sisters from Saudi Arabia . Who were, last anyone checked, supposed to be living with their brother in Fairfax, VA.
Police still have no idea what happened to them.
Except they are probably not (AFAWK) related to Jamal Khashoggi.

Because fear is all they have anymore. Fear that an “illegal” will take your shitty job and leave you financially destitute. Fear that a black family will move into your white neighborhood and start playing that “jungle music” while you’re trying to nap. Fear that that brown fella with the funny name is trying to kill you because the pain in your back isn’t going away. Fear that your kids won’t get into the college they want because an Asian kid will get the scholarship they’re dependent upon.
Fear, fear, and more fear. Fear on tap. High octane fear. Fear with a side order of fear. Because if people aren’t afraid, then they might have a second to think straight.

Vote against all Republicans. Every single one.
Vote for Democrats on Tuesday. For every office. Regardless of who they are. And I say that as a former Republican. Some Republicans in suburban districts may claim they aren’t for Trump. Don’t believe them. Whatever their private qualms, no Republicans have consistently held Trump to account. They are too scared that doing so will hurt their chances of reelection. If you’re as sick and tired as I am of being sick and tired about what’s going on, vote against all Republicans. Every single one. That’s the only message they will understand.
I hate to break it to the GOP, but there are only so many dumb white men left in the country. And their numbers are not growing fast enough to replace the ones dying to old age and disease. In fact, the only thing that’s presently keeping America above water in terms of population growth is the influx of immigrants from other nations. You can run all them “illegals” out of the country, but you ain’t got enough warm bodies to keep the machines running when they’re gone.

You forgot the part where Democrats fight over what it means to control the House.
But, ignoring all of the noise, controlling the chamber that generates spending bills is a big thing. There was a study a few years ago showing that the low point in our government’s function occurs when the GOP controls the House. And the GOP wreaked significant havoc just controlling the House during Obama’s term.

Control of the House also means the Dems can protect the Mueller investigation. Not to mention conducting investigations of their own.

I’m thinking much more pessimistically. I think Russian meddling, vote suppression, and outright corruption by Republican secretaries of state will swing things hard for the Republicans.
I think this way partly because it’s foolish to expect the best, partly as psychic defense — I remember being optimistic in 2016, when the election results sent us all into an emotional tailspin. Expect the worst, and you’ll be ready for the worst — and if the worst doesn’t happen, you’ll be pleasantly surprised for once.

Expecting the best would be me believing we can still win the Senate. This is me being realistic, that the number of races and the margins that the GOP would need to fuck with are so large that the sort of vote tampering needed would be so obvious that there’s no way it would pass even minor scrutiny. People keep saying “2016,” but the margins in that race were tight in enough spots that Donny could fuck with a few thousand votes and win the election. We’re every bit as foolish to mutter “2016” as the GOP are to use it as their go-to for “The polls are always wrong!”

That happened with the Las Vegas Review-Journal as well, when Sheldon Adelson got tired of their coverage of casino corruption in Nevada; he bought the paper to end that sort of coverage.
As for my regional paper, they’ve been right-wing since I moved here. My county paper only reports county news (they do carry editorials from our representative and senators, but that’s pretty much expected in any newspaper). In the county to my east, their county paper explicitly states they only print “good local news” and stays entirely away from politics (including editorials from politicians).

I would like to see the algorithms using this information.
I caught a copy of a meme circulated about Ted Cruz in my E-mail from his presidential announcement speech at Liberty University claiming “there’s no place for gays or atheists in my America” a few days ago. (Why not. I get adverts for Missouri candidates, why not memes about Texas ones.)
Politifact and American Atheists have both debunked that claim; while Sen. Cruz is quite clear he is a Christian and doesn’t approve of same-sex marriage (as if anyone needs his approval to be married), he never said that.
If the meme comes up it should be debunked. There’s plenty of things to go after Sen. Cruz for; there’s no need to lie about him to do it.

Amid the flood of depressing news that pervades society, I would like to offer the diversion of tonight’s Halloween report from downtown Laverne, California. This is a small Midwestern flavored town in eastern Los Angeles County surrounded by just a few million people.
A roughly four by six block area has a lot of homes that go all-out on the decorations and draw decent crowds. The several thousand I saw seemed a little lighter than last year’s, but just as enthusiastic. There were the expected hordes of Fairies, Princesses, Fairy Princesses, and Witches. (Noteworthy was a nice Aztec Princess) For the males; Ninjas, Power Rangers, several Baymaxes, Luchadors, and Minions.
Trends in Superheros are quite variable; Superman and WonderWoman (Including a Wonderpooch) were very popular this year, and many families were dressed as The Incredibles. Batman and Spiderman were big last year; this time I saw only one of each. Two Deadpools, one Black Panther and several barbarian warriors rounded out the heroes. Lots of Zombies, but only one Werewolf. Not a single Mummy or Frankenstein to be seen.
For some reason, Skunk costumes were popular here! (Mostly small kids, but a couple of adults too) Weirdest was a large animal costume that looked like the result of when a Horse and Giraffe love each other very much.
Two houses had pumpkins carved with the word VOTE, and there was one local candidate with a booth on the sidewalk. A pleasant two hour people watching diversion for the Toad…

Each house has different duties. As you note, the Senate vets judges. The House has to initiate all spending bills and taxation. Senators are in office longer (six years) verses Representatives (two years). The House initiates any impeachment of a federal officer or official, while the Senate holds the trial. Treaties are ratified in the Senate. War is declared by the House, upon request of the President. (The last time Congress formally declared war was against Romania in 1942, since then combat actions have been initiated under War Powers acts giving the President that authority.)
It would depend on what a party wishes to accomplish where it focuses its attention. At least for me, we should always be focusing on both houses, even if we can’t win one or both, to make sure the public knows what our party stands for.

Well, votes in the House are simple majorities, so either party with a thin majority has to have good party discipline to get something passed.
Back when Newt Gingrich was House Speaker and the Republicans were in the majority there, he announced what he called his “Contract with America” (sometimes characterised as a contract on America), which was essentially a plan of obstructionism of then-President Bill Clinton and Democratic initiatives. The GOP has pretty much done that ever since when in the minority.
In the Senate, the minority party can obstruct bills through a filibuster.
Speaking time in the Senate is not limited, unlike the House. As such, in the past, Senators would speak endlessly on just about any subject, as taking up time was the point, while other Senators would arrange cots and food deliveries. The last time this happened was Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on a gun safety measure.
Filibusters are rare today; to end one requires a cloture vote (a vote to end debate), currently sixty votes except for measures setting the rules for debate (which can’t be filibustered) and certain other measures.
In modern times, possibly the most famous were Ted Cruz (R-Tex) reading the Dr. Seuss book “Green Eggs and Ham” on the Senate floor, or Strom Thurmond (D-SC) opposing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (which went over 24 hours).

The answer depends on your goals. The House is where spending bills have to start. The Senate is where nominees of the president are approved. Personally, if I had to choose with respect to Trump, I would say the Senate. But there’s still a whole lot that can be done from the House since it still has investigative power.
Wow. As the election approaches, my regional newspaper (Scottsbluff, Nebr. Star-Herald) is publishing more overt letters opposing Republican initiatives. Is the publisher on vacation?
A vote for Smith, Fischer is a vote against country
According to voting records, Republicans Adrian Smith and Debra Fischer, incumbent candidates for Congress, are firmly convinced 98 percent of the time that their party has the only solutions to America’s problems. And yet, one and the other still insist that they are sympathetic contributors to bipartisanship.
The pair doggedly support the tyrannical, divisive, and discriminatory policies of Donald Trump, with neither wavering when he embarrasses the country in every imaginable way, including his almost daily lies, his contempt for those who question his policies, and his lack of respect for people in general. Is there fear of reprisal? Of course.
(more)
Adrian Smith is our incumbent representative (NE-3), Deb Fischer is our incumbent senator.
Nebraskans opposed to Initiative 427 is scary (Initiative 427 is Medicaid Expansion under the ACA, the writer supports it and cites the facts about what signing on to the ACA would do for our state).
Besides investigatory powers, the House also has the “power of the purse,” i.e. all spending bills start there and thus if Trump wants money for his spending habits he’s gonna have to do more now than simply call up Ryan for a loan. It also means that the GOP cannot simply push forward with their “Starve The Beast” policies of covering overspending with cuts to social programs. So get ready for two year of the “Deficit Hawks” suddenly popping out of their hibernation periods to moan about the coming economic apocalypse if the DNC won’t knuckle under and make cuts to Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security to cover for the Trump Tax Cuts.

In theory the Democrats could impeach Trump if they control the House. But all that means is he goes on trial in the Senate. He can’t be removed from office unless 67 of the 100 Senators vote to convict, which would require a bunch of GOP Senators to vote against Trump, which isn’t going to happen.

And honestly, short of Mueller coming back with an absolutely damning report, the odds of impeachment are fairly slim. I think by this point that even the DNC figures that running down the clock on his presidency is preferable to the months-long circus that would be putting him on trial.

It really depends on what kind of evidence and report Mueller produces. I don’t see the Senate voting to convict but I can see both scenarios; one where the spectacle and trial galvanizes Trump’s supporters and strengthens him heading into 2020 and one where the evidence is so incredibly damning that the majority of the country views it as a craven cover up by Republicans and punishes them for it severely. The outcome also, to our discredit as a nation, mostly depends on what the economy does in the next two years. If he allows himself to get dragged into a hypothetical military conflict with Iran, and if people become fatigued by Trump’s obvious wag the dog attempts to stoke racist sentiment with cynical costly military movements then that combined with a recession would probably make an impeachment attempt the smart play, because then even though they’d have failed to remove Trump Democrats could very credibly point to Republicans as the party of bigotry and rank criminality.

re: #93 goddamnedfrank
tbh, I’m pretty sure we’re going to find out the following:
Trump: Obstruction of Justice, Perjury, Violation of the Emolument Clauses
because, well we’ve already got him on the record as lying and in directing members of the government to obstruct the investigation. Plus, he’s not divested himself from his business interests and is actively using those same interests for personal and family enrichment thru the office of the Presidency.
The other law-breaking activities, like treason, violation of campaign finance laws, racketeering, etc… I have the distinct impression that while it may very well have an effect on us as “ordinary, politically engaged citizens”, the GOP party … not so much because I’m afraid that we’re going to find out that he’s Putin’s chess piece and that the GOP willingly and perhaps even enthusiastically worked with Russia in coordinating political strategy, voter suppression, illegal financing, campaign logistics and perhaps even vote tampering in order to elect him.
The GOP won’t care, because it meant that they won and that’s all that matters to them as nothing is off the table as long as they stay in power.
If that is proven and we still manage to have a transition in political power in this country in its aftermath, I want the folks responsible for making this happen, prosecuted to the fullest extent that the law allows and to see the nullification of their policy as being essentially illegal acts perpetuated via treason.
Doubt we’ll get it, but that’s what I want to see happen. I sit back and contemplate what the penalty would be if the Democrats had pulled a similar stunt with say… the Chinese and I would have no trouble envisioning firing squads and hangings, as examples.

If I was Duncan’s opponent, I would put up a Hail Mary ad that went something like this:
“Duncan Hunter’s lawyer has admitted that he’s a drunken stumblebum. He’s a serial adulterer who used campaign funds to buy gifts for his mistresses, and when indicted for these crimes and other crimes, threw his wife under the bus by claiming that she handled his finances which would have included paying off his mistresses, which is just unbelievable. He is a cad, a crook, a liar, and an awful human being.
He is the worst possible person to continue to represent you in Congress, and if you vote for him on Tuesday you will be the person who votes for a cad, a liar, a crook, and an awful human being, and that will say more about you than it says about him. You need to be a better citizen and vote for the dream of America rather than any political party. It’s up to you. Do the right thing.”
re: #100 sagehen
did he have his day in court?, wasn’t the jury was deadlocked 10-2 for acquittal?
I mean, I understand that the appearances are less than stellar, but no one could produce any evidence that Menendez engaged in “play for pay” and show that the relationship that brought the Feds in was nothing more than an actual friendship.
I look at the job that they did on Franken and I look at what happened with Menendez and then take a look at Jordan, Hunter and the rest of the Holier than thou crowd over on the GOP side and still have a hard time seeing both sides. When Democrats have done wrong, the party tends to disavow them and support any prosecution of any crimes…. The GOP it almost seems like its more of an initiation for bigger and better things…
re: #92 wheat-dogg
Some nincompoop in Trump’s sphere has told him an EO can end birthright citizenship. We just need to wait until someone else tells him it can’t.
Michael Anton is a former Trump staffer who fervently believes that the elimination of birthright citizenship does not require a Constitutional amendment; it would not be surprising if he were the source of Trump’s “certainty” on this issue. As others here have pointed out, this position is too far even for the Federalist, which had an article strongly, even lyrically, in support of birthright citizenship.
re: #103 piratedan
Yup, Menendez’s trial was declared a mistrial, and the Department of Justice declined to retry the case. (While declining to retry a case can mean many things, it often means the case is simply too weak to secure a conviction … and it’s up to the prosecution to prove its case, not the other way round.)
Al Franken requested an ethics investigation, then resigned a short time later. Bob Menendez went through a whole trial. I don’t know what Franken was thinking, but apparently he thought that an ethics investigation would not turn out well. Even if he was found to have violated some sort of ethical consideration, the Senate would still have to vote to expel or censure him.
Blaming Democratic women for Al Franken’s decision doesn’t make sense to me. I presume Mr. Franken spoke with his colleagues before he made his decision.
Alabama put a referendum on the ballot to permit displaying the Ten Commandments (not the full list of 513) on public property including schools and parks. The fellow pushing this is an associate of Roy Moore.
The objective is to get the referendum passed to get it into the courts, for the purpose of eliminating the separation of Church and State. While the Establishment Clause would remain in the I Amendment, it would effectively become a dead letter.
re: #100 sagehen
It’s more often GOP, but the Dems can’t disavow Bob Menendez.
I’m really tired of this kind of shit. Melendez may be a ratfucker, and should be challenged by a cleaner candidate in New Jersey, but he was not found guilty and didn’t throw his wife under the bus to make it happen. This is the kind of thinking that results in young people not voting, believing that both sides are corrupt. It’s self-destructive and just plain dumb. New Jersey politics do not equate to National policy.
We have bigger to fish to fry. The possibility of an American Kistallnacht involving the free press and progressive organizations is real. This “President” wants it to happen. It is absolutely clear that he wants to do it. We have the capability to at least slow it down on Tuesday.

Years ago, David Duke ran against Edwin Edwards for governor of Louisiana. Edwards said “The only way he’ll beat me is if they find me in bed with a dead girl or a live boy.”
He was right. He later spent time in federal prison on corruption charges. As a sidebar, the two most popular bumper stickers during that election cycle were “Duke For Ovener”, and “Vote For The Crook- It’s Important”.

re: #8 Jay C
Don’t know if it’s been posted here already, but the case of the two girls whose bodies were washed up on the Hudson shore of Manhattan last week, duct-taped together, has just gotten weirder. They have been identified as two sisters from Saudi Arabia . Who were, last anyone checked, supposed to be living with their brother in Fairfax, VA.
Police still have no idea what happened to them.
Except they are probably not (AFAWK) related to Jamal Khashoggi.
This seems like it might be important.
(From the Fox News article)
“Their mother told detectives the day before the bodies were discovered, she received a call from an official at the Saudi Arabian Embassy, ordering the family to leave the U.S. because her daughters had applied for political asylum, New York police said Tuesday.”
Here’s the Fairfax County Police Department “Detectives Asking for Information About Farea Sisters Disappearance” release:
“NYPD detectives are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of the Farea sisters who were found dead in New York on October 24. Tala, 16, and Rotana, 22, both from Fairfax Corner, were reported missing to FCPD on September 12. They were last heard from on August 24. The sisters were entered in the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database. Although the NYPD is leading the investigation, we are assisting their detectives and asking if anyone has information about the whereabouts of the Farea sisters leading up to their death to please contact our Major Crimes Bureau at[no phone numbers allowed].”

KSA is always being reported on for their problems, but few people, at least here in the US, pay attention.

[…]
Indonesian advocacy group Migrant Care said in September that the mother of one had been defending herself from being raped.
[…]
Because of course, it’s Boris Johnson:

We were very worried about it playing a role in the midterms. By “we,” I mean people who couldn’t see past the Alabama special election and worried that if Franken wasn’t tossed, then Doug Jones would lose and Roy Moore would be elected on a “both sides” argument.
The fact that it helped wipe out one of the leading contenders for the 2020 nomination surely had nothing to do with his colleague’s decision to throw his ass under the bus.
I’ve blogged, tweeted, and Facebooked it, but I’ll share my appeal for donations here, too.
My former student, Joan Xie Qiong, has leukemia and after two rounds of chemo was seemingly in good shape. But the docs have said it looks like the cancer has reached her bones. There is a bone marrow donor ready, and the procedure could happen as soon as Monday, but the hospital won’t proceed until Joan and her mom can show they can pay for it. Their crowdfunding campaign in China is only about 25% funded right now, which is not enough. So, I’ve coordinated with Joan’s bestie, who has a PayPal account, to solicit donations from the USA and elsewhere. The exchange rate now is about 7 RMB to the dollar, so a little bit can go a long way.
Ivy Zhang (张鑫君) PayPal: 1252402206 AT qq DOT com
Ivy is another former student of mine (Joan’s classmate and roommate), and I can vouch for her honesty. If you’d rather drop some money my way instead, I can forward it to Joan myself.

The far-right Proud Boys and their founder, Gavin McInnes, have been banned from Facebook and Instagram because of policies against hate groups, the company announced.
A spokeswoman for Facebook, which also owns Instagram, said in a statement, “Our team continues to study trends in organized hate and hate speech and works with partners to better understand hate organizations as they evolve.”
The loss of the platforms will likely hurt the Proud Boys’ ability to recruit. The Southern Poverty Law Center reported in August that regional Proud Boys chapters were vetting new members through private Facebook chatrooms.

Tuesday cannot come quickly enough.
Yep. The fundamental flaw of the Trump Presidency right there (aside from the fact that it’s Donald Trump in the first place). “His supporters” love the loudmouthed bigoted bluster, so he’ll keep up with it - no matter what anybody else (like, say, the majority of the country that aren’t “supporters”) thinks. Swell.
The GOP uses the House for destruction of progressive policies. So IMO the house is more important for us to play defense and keep them away from the purse . Through house hearings, we can then tie senate GOP criminals as well as house members directly to Trump in time for the general. Trump and the other criminals infesting the government may not be impeached but it is vital to our stability that at least one party will attempt to abide by the laws already on the books.

This is why I get so tired of the “palace intrigue” circuit, they’re just as susceptible to being used as a means of setting a narrative as they are to catch murmuring that’s actually informative.

Ignore the polls. Vote.
Ignore the media spin about how X is ahead or Y is behind or that Democrats are already running as though they’ve got the house sewn up or they’re ignoring the Senate. Vote.
Just vote.
Vote as if your life depends on it. Because it does. The GOP has shown absolutely every intention of gutting health care coverage for those with preexisting conditions, which is roughly 25% of all Americans.
They want to gut civil and voting rights, which means that your ability to have a say in how the country runs is up for grabs, and the GOP is intent on grabbing it from you, because far too many people think that both parties are the same, are apathetic, don’t vote, or think that voting the GOP because they are for lower taxes means we can ignore everything else that the GOP is doing, from Trump on down.
Vote. Vote in every election, because all elections matter. From the local election on up. Politicians usually start their career at the lowest levels, and build up their support from the local level. Trump and the GOP positions nationally are ones that have support of the base - this is not an accident. It’s by design. This is what they want.
The GOP leaders want to wreck the safety net, cut taxes for millionaires and stick everyone else with the bill, and they’re far too comfortable lying to their base to make it happen because they are also promising to make angry white guys prominent again by gutting the civil and voting rights of others. The GOP wants to roll back decades of social progress because it keeps their base in check.
This has been a multidecade cause, and Trump is the one who has capitalized on it because he’s a better liar and con artist than everyone else. He’s also doing more to further the white supremacist cause than anyone in decades.
The GOP may not be all racists, but the racists love Trump. The ones that don’t do so because they don’t think Trump goes far enough (or isn’t enough of an anti-Semite, as in the case of the Pittsburgh shooter).

You don’t run on it., you just do it, but only under the following conditions.
1. The court has to issue an egregious ruling that can be used to galvanize the public. You can’t just pack the court if Associate Rapist Kavanaugh issues rulings largely in line with Kennedy.
2. You don’t do it if you manage to tilt the Court back naturally. If Justice Thomas dies of a heart attack while sexually assaulting an intern, or Chief Just Roberts follows his and the Court’s credibility over the cliff and we get the replacement nominated and confirmed, there’s no reason to pack the court.

I deliberately changed tactics from doing all my calendars in a spreadsheet to using an automation tool precisely to slow this asshole down and stop him from rewriting all my shit. I also took previous content he’d ALREADY approved and just made slight tweaks, just to lower my chances of him having edits.

I’d wager that there isn’t even a ‘she.’ This ‘accuser’ is every bit as fake as the woman they’re claiming is fake is.
This Burkman guy has a history of press conferences that suck.
Today’s press conference, held in collaboration with America First Media Group’s Matt Couch, promised to produce “two previously unknown sources who may be key to unlocking the mystery” of Rich’s murder. Instead, reporters entered the conference room to find an off-white speakerphone from years past resting on a table and a promise to hear just one of the promised sources via speakerphone. After a break that happened just a few minutes after the conference started, Burkman and his cohort struggled to route their source’s call to the phone on the table. Ultimately, reporters were forced to huddle around an iPhone set to speakerphone to hear from “Luke,” a moniker given to supposedly protect the identity of Burkman’s witness.
Burkman explained that he had contemplated bringing his source to the press conference in a mask, or perhaps with a bag over his head, to conceal his identity, but that his source ultimately felt the safest speaking to reporters over the phone. Retired NYPD detective Frank Whalen attempted to reassure the small fleet of reporters that the identity of the witness would eventually be revealed, but not at the time of the press conference.
It looks like he’s pulling the same shit here. Working from the same stupid playbook.
re: #206 Scottish Dragon

What is probably going on is the Trump gang needs to keep shut up about it all. If they admit they have been subpoenaed the press will be all over them and Trump.
If they say no comment it more or less is an admission they have…and the press will be all over them.
All they can do is sit and wait while they continue to negotiate terms, or answer the subpoena.
Not sure, but could the subpoena be filed with a date that he must meet with Mueller after the elections? In other words, Mueller doesn’t want to influence the elections and will bring the heat soon after.

And that is what gives me hope about these close “likely voter” polls. I don’t think they really search out and consider this age group as “likely voters”, so really don’t inquire with them. We may just get saved by the yooth this time around. I know my 18 yo is voting.
Polls have increasingly less value. After the primary fiasco in Michigan where polls predicted a comfortable Hillary victory and then Bernie won, I don’t know why anyone places such credence in them. PLL was being criticized here for his pre-election pessimism; I wasn’t a member at that time, but I agreed with him then 100%
There are several problems:
— As others point out, their voters are fanatic, ours are less likely to get out to vote, either because they are not as invested in voting or because it is physically harder for them to get to the polls. They may have jobs that interfere with getting out or they may not have transportation to their polling places.
— It is difficult to get a representative sample of the voting public; thanks to caller id and the disappearance of landlines, pollsters are not able to reach a good random sample
— Voter suppression techniques lead to supposedly “eligible” voters discovering they don’t have the ids, are no longer on the voting rolls, or inaccessible polling places. The Kansas shenanigans with Dodge City are a perfect example.
As lawhawk repeatedly said, everyone has to vote.

We stole a US Senate seat in Bama because the GOP nominated a pedophile, and there are others, like the guy accused by his daughter of sexual abuse.
All pale in comparison when you consider the damage Kavanaugh can do and for how long he can do it.
And I have yet to see a Democrat call Franken’s accusers anything, let alone an angry mob.
And to further my point there is an ad being run in Ohio by dirtball Jim Renacci against Sherrod Brown for being a hypocrtical angry mob leader that has domestic abuse mentioned in court filings.
It was typical allegations in his divorce from his first wife. That would be his first wife he still shares time with and who has asked Renacci to stop the attacks.
Like I said, a little fairness would be nice.
Google’s got a slight problem.
Google employees around the world walked out of their offices on Thursday in a global protest over how the company deals with sexual harassment.
The demonstrations, dubbed “Google Walkout,” follow an outcry over a New York Times investigation that detailed years of sexual harassment allegations, multimillion-dollar severance packages for accused executives, and a lack of transparency over the cases.
Before Google employees got to work in the United States, around 150 Google employees in India participated in the walkouts, a company spokesman in the country told CNN. Google (GOOGL) has about 2,000 staff members across Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Hyderabad.

Right. I never thought I’d say this but Tomi Lahren and Ben Shapiro look intelligent compared to Candice, Charlie, & Jacob.

This likely falls under defamation per se. Basically false statements about someone in one of these categories:
Indications that a person was involved in criminal activity
Indications that a person had a “loathsome,” contagious or infectious disease
Indications that a person was unchaste or engaged in sexual misconduct
Indications that a person was involved in behavior incompatible with the proper conduct of his business, trade or profession
Mueller is a public figure, so he’ll also have the standard of actual malice (knowledge that the statements were untrue, or reckless disregard of the truth of the statements). But I’m guessing that discovery would absolutely establish actual malice in this case.

They have already censured him and dropped him from any committee assignments. That is a start.

I was wrong. There are many calling for him to be censured. Paul Ryan has been asked to censure him by the Anti-defamation League.

What. The. Actual. Fuck. Literally. NSFW: Despite Video Evidence, GOP Pol Denies Starring Role in Porn Project
Documents, images and videoclips obtained by InsideSources appear to back claims made in a lawsuit against New Hampshire Republican state rep (and House Speaker candidate) Frank Sapareto, claiming he was involved in a video project to produce porn-and that the male lead in the movie was the Republican legislator himself.
“Yes, I have seen the video. There’s hours and hours of it,” Eric Dubin told NHJournal. Dubin is representing Jonathan Carter, the plaintiff in a lawsuit claiming that Rep. Sapareto assaulted him due to the representative’s displeasure over the quality of the filming.
Dubin’s client, Jonathan Carter, alleges that Sapareto broke into his apartment and assaulted him, beating him so badly that Carter lost consciousness. According to the emergency department report from Adventist Health Simi Valley, Carter suffered a “closed-head injury with LOC.” [Loss of consciousness].
“My client lost consciousness. He was treated for a concussion in the emergency room,” Dubin said. “The idea that an elected official would completely lie about this is very disturbing. I’m not judging anyone’s personal behavior, but there are jobs that require public confidence.”
The story line of the film, according to Dubin, was supposed to be a post-apocalyptic tale in which Sapareto was the last remaining man left on Earth who could biologically father children.
He claims the video was ‘manipulated.’
“The guy had me shoot all this video, in unusual positions, I didn’t know why,” Sapareto said.
“I don’t know how [Carter] did it,” Sapareto told InsideSources. “He just does it. This [manipulating video] is what he does. He said he was going to destroy my political career and that’s what he’s trying to do.”
“He said he would destroy my political career if I didn’t pay [blackmail] and now he’s trying to do it. You saw what happened to [Supreme Court Justice Brett] Kavanaugh? Now it’s happening to me!”
Take out my eyes, now I’ve seen everything.
re: #383 KGxvi
This likely falls under defamation per se. Basically false statements about someone in one of these categories:
Mueller is a public figure, so he’ll also have the standard of actual malice (knowledge that the statements were untrue, or reckless disregard of the truth of the statements). But I’m guessing that discovery would absolutely establish actual malice in this case.
I’m confident Mueller won’t sue, because he has vastly more class than these vermin, and they are actually incapable of damaging his reputation.

re: #513 jaunte
Fentanyl can come into the US via the regular mail or USPS via China.
We can identify amounts larger than about 3 ounces in a shipment, which means under 3 ounces can go through with no problem.
1 kilo of heroin can be worth $80,000 on the street.
The same amount of fentanyl can go for $1.6 million because it is so much more potent.
That means 3 ounces is worth… $136,000. They don’t need to ship that across the border. They can ship it in legally in small enough amounts that no one can keep track.

re: #277 Lidane
Yes, social media for a business IS marketing. Everyone knows this. But the trick is to sound conversational in your posts, NOT tossing in your company slogan every time or making everything sound like a commercial or whatever the fuck.
I deliberately changed tactics from doing all my calendars in a spreadsheet to using an automation tool precisely to slow this asshole down and stop him from rewriting all my shit. I also took previous content he’d ALREADY approved and just made slight tweaks, just to lower my chances of him having edits. Right now, he’s literally going post by post and demanding revisions to everything. *facepalm*
All my other clients love this new tool because it saves them time and they can see what their posts will look like. They’ve taken to it like ducks to water. Not Mr. Micromanager. Ugh.
I’ve had to fire clients in the last year.
Last-ditch suggestion: run analytics on his versions and your versions. Use data to back up what you’re doing. If that doesn’t work, he’s a useless client anyway, since the decisions he’s making have nothing to do with fact or the real world or anything other than an angry tiny-penised view of the world

I used to walk past there for lunch, great food and lovely people. There are usually a ton of street merchants on Alvarado between 6th and Wilshire. Macarthur Park does attract a lot of homeless people but and if you go North a few blocks to the sidewalk along the 101 & Alvarado overpass it’s almost always an encampment, lined with tents. Like most major cities Los Angeles puts our society’s vast income disparity is on full display, showcasing the human perseverance, soul withering struggle and ingenuity of daily survival. Honestly the area is equal parts inspirational vibrance and crushing depression. But somehow I doubt the solution is to make us a greedier and even more casually cruel racist country.
