Sure would like to know how a wall on the Mexican border prevents the Sackler family from pressuring doctors to overprescribe opiates.
And—the Sackler Family’s consigliere who pushed for deregulation was…Screwdy Giuliani!
This is a real headline, and a real case:
Second judge recuses himself from Spokane County cat pee case as scholar argues sealed records violate First Amendment (Spokane Spokesman-Review, more at the link):
A second judge has recused himself from a secretive case in which a Spokane County judge sued his neighbor over cat excrement and pee on his porch.
Judge Gary Libey, who usually presides in Whitman County Superior Court, had been expected to visit Spokane for a hearing Tuesday, but shortly before it was scheduled to begin, the Whitman County court administrator, Ginger Devorak, said the judge had recused himself. She did not give a reason, and no record of the recusal was immediately available in the Spokane County clerk’s office.
Libey had been expected to decide whether to unseal records in the case, in which Michael Price, the presiding judge in Spokane County Superior Court, sued a cat owner, Jennifer Tanaka-Fees, who lived behind him on the South Hill.
At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if the next CoS is simply a bunch of weasels in a suit.
Amazing that now Trump can’t even give away a position that people would be falling over themselves to get in a normal administration.

As a reminder, Virginia abolished parole twenty years ago during the last conservative “tough on crime” era.
While the judge could reduce the sentence recommendation from the jury, he could also troll the murderer:
I’m going to show some leniency on you, son. I’ll knock the Life sentence down to “time served” and you can just serve the other 319 years.

As if the Brexit shitshow couldn’t possibly get any shittier:
UK Prime Minister Theresa May will face a vote of no confidence in her leadership later on Wednesday.
Conservative MPs will vote between 18:00 GMT and 20:00 GMT.
The challenge to Mrs May’s position comes after the required 48 letters calling for a contest were delivered.
Mrs May, who has been prime minister since shortly after the UK voted to leave the European Union in 2016, has faced criticism in her party for the Brexit plan she has negotiated.
The prime minister is expected to make a statement in Downing Street at 08:30 GMT.
BREAK: @skynews confirms that the threshold has been met.
— Beth Rigby (@BethRigby) December 12, 2018
The “threshold” being referred to is that enough letters have been submitted by the Tories to force a leadership challenge.

PaddyPower putting the odds that May loses the no-confidence at a relatively long shot of 12:5 :
So the odds favor that May wins.
Still, there is that chance that May loses. Many a horse have crossed the finish line with worse odds against them. So Boris Johnson just might have a chance. We’ll know before lunchtime here in the US.
More sous vide action, marinated a tough, thick chuck steak for a day then ran it at 131 degrees F for 24 hours in the bath, finished it off a couple minutes each side on the grill. Basically upgraded it to a quality sirloin like experience. Yay me.
In RDR2 news: I robbed the doctor’s side business and got the Schofield. I worked it by just getting in there, forcing the Doc to get the gangsters to open up the back door, killed the gangsters in the back ‘cuz there’s no other way, get the gun and then run around back where I stashed my horse and ran like hell. Try very hard NOT to engage the cops during the escape, that’s how you get a huge bounty to pay off. Just run. Also can confirm the obvious, that dynamite in enclosed spaces is a bad idea that will hurt and knock you on your ass for a bit, so my advice is to just pass on the safe and go for the gun which is in a box on the table.
Then, later on, right in the middle of fighting a bunch of got-damned O’Driscolls who I stumbled across while they were trying to free one of their buddies from a prisoner transport we all got attacked by some giant random ass grizzly bear who just charged roaring right into the middle of our squabble. I survived but what a shit show. Also found out if you wait by a prospector working a stream he’ll eventually find some gold and you can rob him for it, which he really doesn’t like, but again fuck him because that guy for sure would’ve voted for Trump. Remember to always put your mask on before robbin’ folk and then ride like hell after doing your dirt.
Oh yeah, if you see some lady on the side of the road complaining about her leg be ready for a scrap because it’s a trap, her and her two hidden friends will immediately try to rob you and it can get messy. If you see a lady who’s actually trapped under her dead horse you should help her and give her a ride home, she’s nice. There’s also another stranded lady who’s nice. So expect nice ladies but also be prepared for shifty gun molls is what I’m saying.
I also successfully hunted a legendary ram, so again yay me.

Right. Dissenters are non-harmonious. So are people wishing to follow their particular religion, like Uighur Muslims, or Tibetan Buddhists, or Falun Gong-ists.
Basically, anything that threatens the primacy of the Party and the “feelings of the Chinese people” is non-harmonious and can get you in trouble.

PaddyPower putting the odds that May loses the no-confidence at a relatively long shot of 12:5 :
So the odds favor that May wins.
That seems a reasonable assumption, as this vote of confidence is an internal Conservative party procedure, and as such, only Conservative MPs will be voting on their confidence in May’s leadership, which puts the odds in May’s favour.
If this was the type of motion of no confidence that Nicola Sturgeon etc are calling for- a House of Commons motion of no confidence in the Conservative government, in which all MPs can vote- then May would be in a far more precarious position.
A bit early to tell for certain, but I think that PM May will survive this no-contest vote from her own party. If she does, she’s secure in her position for another 12 months.

Breaking: May will promise MPs she will step down before next general election - attempt to buy support ahead of tonight’s vote of no confidence
— Jim Pickard (@PickardJE) December 12, 2018
That’d be the smartest thing May could do - part of the rationale behind this attempted leadership challenge we’re seeing today is that a faction of the Tories are genuinely frightened that she’ll be leading the party into the next election, which is due in 2022.
If she steps down, say, towards the end of 2019 or the early part of 2020, I could a majority of Tories willing to put up with her until then, simply to get Brexit finished and then move on for the next general election campaign.
That’s provided that a general no-confidence vote doesn’t pass and the UK ends up with early elections anyway. I’ve seen some predicting it could happen as soon as next month.
High political drama, to say the least.

And let’s talk about Trump hiring illegals to work at his golf resorts so he maximizes his profits. He’s profiting from illegal aliens. They’re paying taxes too.
So far from being a drain, they’re a net positive. This is what the white nationalists want people to ignore.— lawhawk (@lawhawk) December 12, 2018
Hoft, Trump, and other white nationalists spew this nonsense about the cost of illegal immigration, and every last one of them is inflating the costs. They’re also exaggerating the effect the wall would have when most here are on overstayed visas, not from illegally crossing the border.
It doesn’t address that those illegals are paying taxes, whether it’s sales tax, fuel taxes, etc., while not being able to benefit from safety net programs or Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security. Enforcement is certainly a cost, but not one running to $150 billion.
It’s all a sham to try and shut down immigration of nonwhites. Same as always from a white nationalist party.
re: #60 lawhawk
I would argue that shipping all of them out would cost the USA $155M in lost revenues and taxes. They spend their wages within the USA, and fill jobs that employers could otherwise not fill with “native” workers.
Deporting them is very short-sighted, as well as cruel. See also, Brexit types, who want to ban all those non-British people coming from the EU.

I do house league with my Dad as my brother’s a senior in high school still. We have some women coaches. It’s good to see. The awesome thing is how the NBA leads by example. I honestly even though I don’t have a NBA team have so much more respect for how the NBA is run versus the MLB and NFL. When you’ve got guys like Lebron and Curry as the face of your league, you’re doing something right. Both are stand out guys and great role models for young men and women. And then there’s Pop who I think will go down as the Red Auerbach as his era not just a great builder of teams but a visionary, whereas Red was responsible for ending the color line, Pop has done a lot on gender and coaching too. You’d never know that Pop, an AF academy guy would be such a staunch liberal but he is and I love him for it and I’ve always admired his teams. I had a camp counselor that went to Wake Forest with Tim Duncan in the mid 90’s so I had the inside sports scoop on why Duncan was going to be the top pick that year. And yeah back to Nancy, she showed yesterday why there shouldn’t be any doubt at all who leads the Dems in the House. I really hope Seth Moulton and Tim Ryan learned something watching her interact with Trump yesterday. They could learn from her.

The thorn (Þ or þ), yes, it was supplanted for a while by “y”, which did not exist in English, leading to “ye olde taverne”
Old English spelling was much more logical, particularly “hw” for the “ʍ” sound—much better than the “wh” we use nowadays. In between, after the Norman Conquest, French-speaking scribes were completely thrown by it, coming up with messes like “quh”, which is why we get names like Farquhar and Colquhoon.

My Mom’s grandmother just missed the 1924 quotas by a few years. Makes me wonder too. And Anne was also born the same year as my grandfather too. Talking to foreign born cousins reminds me what fate really is. The events we have no control of yet lead us to today. Otto Frank also served in WWI and was from Frankfurt. My German family origins are about a hour from there. Always thought he was a particularly tough man to survive losing his entire family and then shared his grief by introducing the world to his daughter, whose writings will be with us many years.
re: #77 HappyWarrior
I always found the WIlmer McLean full circle of the Civil War interesting. War started in his backyard in Mantissas, Virginia and then ended in his parlor in Appomattox. Or how the first and last British soldiers to die in WWI are buried side by side and that wasn’t by design.
That works as the effective end of the war, but it died a sputtering death. (Alabama surrendered a week or so later.) The last Confederate general to surrender was a Cherokee, who had spent most of the war fighting Union Cherokees. The last ship was the commerce raider CSS Shenandoah, six months later. They were concerned they would be treated as pirates because they hadn’t got the message. Couple weird facts in there.

That was the other song I listened to every morning.
You can cover “Little Wing” note for note as far as I am concerned (Stevie Ray Vaughn did a great job of it), but what really makes it for me it is the rotating speaker platform he used in the recording. There is a part where the Leslie speaker comes around (just as he walks up to that C-chord) that just lifts he top of my head off and tickles my braims every time.

True.
But ‘Little Wing’ is one song (the intro and solo in particular) where you could put 500 guitarists in a room, and they’d all play it in their own limited way (because Jimi was an alien whose style could not be duplicated) and they’d all swear that they were playing it ‘right.’

No one can catch the actual flow and timing of Jimi’s licks. He had a texture that was all his and it came from the gods and shall never be repeated.

This particular charge is an entertaining sideshow; the Democrats will never have potential impeachment hearings to investigate this allegation. It is doubtful that this had any impact on the election results — it’s not as though Donny was a Michael Pence who would be suddenly unmasked as a three-timing adulterer. It would be more akin to the Clinton impeachment than the Nixon impeachment.
Trump needs to be brought down for his treasonous allegiance to dictators, for treatment of immigrants in U.S. custody, for his contempt toward the Constitution, and for money laundering and other financial crimes during his entire lifetime.

Sentencing hearing for Cohen is underway.
Pauley calculates the guidelines at 51 to 63 months of imprisonment.
Reminder: The judge isn’t bound by those guidelines, and can go either above or below.— Adam Klasfeld (@KlasfeldReports) December 12, 2018
Cohen’s lawyer argues for leniency - claiming that no bank lost money on Cohen (as if that fucking matters). Trump directed Cohen to engage in criminal acts, Cohen engaged in criminal acts at behest of Trump, which ultimately included money laundering by and through Trump Org.
Cohen cooperated with Mueller means something - and a reduction is possible. But Cohen isn’t cooperating fully with the SDNY on the money laundering as it relates to Trump Org, so there’s that.
On balance, Cohen is fucked (legal term), and I think it’s likely to see his sentence in the 3-4 year range (reduction as per Mueller, but not full cooperation as with SDNY).

Must have been a wild scene in Greenwich Village in ‘66!
Wiki - Jimmy James and the Blue Flames
Jimmy James and the Blue Flames was a short-lived American rock group that was fronted by Jimi Hendrix, who was then going by the name “Jimmy James”. The band was Hendrix’s first extended foray into the 1966 Greenwich Village music scene and included future Spirit guitarist Randy California. At various New York clubs, they played a mix of rock, blues, and rhythm and blues songs as well as early versions of songs that became part of the Jimi Hendrix Experience repertoire. It was at such a performance that Animals’ bassist Chas Chandler first heard their rendition of “Hey Joe” and decided to invite Hendrix to England and become his producer.

Trump is an unindicted coconspirator on multiple federal felonies.
Everything else is spin. Cohen, Trump’s lawyer admits to engaging in felonies on behalf of Trump in open court.
The only question is Cohen’s sentence.
What is beyond a question at this point is that Trump engaged in crimes. He did.
The DOJ has rules to not indict a sitting president, but those are guidelines - never tested in court, and he should not be shielded from indictment because these crimes ultimately aided in him becoming president.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders hopes to be remembered for being “transparent and honest” when her tenure as White House press secretary comes to an end.
Speaking to Politico’s Eliana Johnson about what she wanted her legacy to be, Sanders said she hoped it would include turning up every day and doing “the very best job that I could to put forward the president’s message.”

Sanders also defended the president’s attitude toward female reporters, which has included insulting their intelligence and accusing them of asking “stupid” questions.

Every time some RWNJ speaks all I can think is how their worldview and language are stuck in the 19th century.
Prime example from Coulter: “exotic sexual groups.”
In the 19th century, polite (or PC, if you will) white people always referred to anyone non-white and non-christian as “exotic.” The “other” was always “exotic.”

But this columnist over at WingNut Daily tries to make that case, as they bleat about the “betrayal” by Brett Kavanaugh over de-funding Planned Parenthood.
I hate to say it, but I saw this one coming.
When President Trump selected Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court, I knew it was at least a very risky pick.
But he won the hearts of conservatives because of the insanity of the opposition.
Now we know, for certain, that Brett Kavanaugh is a fraud. He should never have been President Trump’s first choice. He’s a weakling. He buckled to the extreme left to salvage his own reputation. I had a bad feeling about this guy - ever since his role in the Vincent Foster cover-up and his tutelage by former independent counsel Kenneth Starr.
How many times do we have to see this kind of betrayal by Republican nominees of Supreme Court justices - Sandra Day O’Connor, Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, John Roberts?

The company offered a no-questions-asked reward for un-dented kegs and got most of them back (empty of course).

May she be the first of the few left to see the light:
As a state house member, Senator Barbara Bollier often found herself at odds with her party: a pro-choice, pro-Medicaid expansion, pro-LGBT rights Republican who voted to the left of even many in the Democratic caucus. A few weeks before she announced her run as a Republican for the state Senate seat, Rep. Bollier was the top potential recruit for Democrats to run in that same Senate seat. Meeting with her that week, then Representative Bollier stood by her thought that if we wanted real change, people inside the Republican Party would have to change it from the inside — to keep it from becoming completely out of control.
Mission Hills Sen. Barbara Bollier this morning officially changed her party affiliation from Republican to Democrat.
Citing “frustrations that have been ongoing for nine years,” Bollier said Wednesday that the inclusion of anti-transgender language in the party platform had proved a breaking point for her.
“Morally, the party is not going where my compass resides,” Bollier said. “I’m looking forward to being in a party that represents the ideals that I do, including Medicaid expansion and funding our K-12 schools.”

The thorn (Þ or þ), yes, it was supplanted for a while by “y”, which did not exist in English, leading to “ye olde taverne”
Just wanted to point out that this is a common misconception. Both Þ and Y were in Old English. In the 14th century, Þ began being replaced by TH. You only see “ye old” due to it becoming rare to find in printer’s typesets and its resemblance to Y (much more so in the fonts of the day) as well as some confusion about thorn itself due to it falling into disuse.

Wasn’t that also during the time of the Great Vowel Shift that pretty radically reshaped English as well?
Actually it is thanks to that vowel shift that English spelling is so fouled up. They didn’t change any spellings as they did with previous vowel shifts.
