“I WAS NOT SEXUALLY ASSAULTEDIt’s important for everyone to know that I was not sexually assaulted and would never falsely accuse anyone. To keep it brief for now- I was approached by a political figure to come to DC to discuss political situations from the standpoint of a gay Republican. When I arrived they discussed Peter Buttigieg and started talking about how they would be working a campaign against him. I went to bed and woke up to a fake Twitter @RealHunterKelly and an article that I in no way endorsed or wrote. I have since left and am working on a formal statement to give to everyone including the Buttigieg family. Thank you for standing behind me and knowing that I would never accept or allow any of this.”
It feels like we need an entire new branch of physics to properly explain Jacob Wohl’s stupidity.

Since I was thinking about Ed Baptist’s book The Half Has Never Been Told, which is a one-volume economic history of American slavery, I thought I’d flip through it and find my favorite chart. It’s this one. It shows how absolutely devastating the Emancipation Proclamation and the 13th Amendment were on the Southern economy.
If you go to the second from the bottom line, labeled “1860”, you’ll see that the total wealth of the USA was $16,160,000,000. There were nearly 4 million people enslaved at that point and the value of those 4 million people was $3,059,000,000. The last column shows that chattel property—enslaved persons—made up 18.9 percent of the wealth of the United States.
The last line shows US wealth in 1870 and the last three columns were zeroes. The end of slavery wrecked wealth in the South, at least until they got the carpetbaggers out and were able to institute Jim Crow.

Trump will never pardon you. Ever.— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) April 30, 2019
Although - Trump is just deranged enough to try to just issue blanket pardons to entire classes of people.
Lawhawk - is there anything in the US Code that would prevent Trump from blanket-pardoning everyone who identifies themselves as a “Deplorable”? My understanding is that pardons have to be individualized - but in an age where laser printers & robo-signing can do 10,000x the work that quill pens and parchment could do in 1787, is there a hole in this law.
Could Donald Trump pardon everyone with an (R) next to their name for everything they’ve ever done?

Can’t see it dragging out that long. They’d first need a TRO or preliminary injunction to preclude a response. They’ll probably get that based on the potential harm to the respective parties. The court would then need to set an evidentiary hearing on a permanent injunction, possibly combined with a trial on the merits. The ting is, though, this is largely an issue of law, rather than fact. There shouldn’t be a need for extensive discovery, and the issue could possibly be resolved on motion.

Blue Lives Matter! Except when a black policewoman told this entitled state senator where to park
The verbal altercation happened between her and a member of the Capitol police, Ashley Berryman. According to the incident report, [Amanda] Chase pulled up to the pedestrian plaza outside a building at the state capitol and demanded to be let into a restricted area. Chase already had an assigned parking spot elsewhere. The officer called to see if she could get access, but was told that Chase was not on the required list and did not have permission. The officer reiterated to Chase that she had no authority to let her park in the restricted area.
According to the report, rather than letting it go, Amanda Chase used the “don’t you know who I am?” screed and swore at the officer. Allegedly, she told the officer that she wasn’t going to move her car unless she “let the f***ing barricades down to let me in!” This caused a traffic jam with buses being stuck behind her.
When called out about her boorish behavior, Amanda Chase made a bad situation much, much worse.
She not only accused the officer of lying, but also said the Capitol police were infiltrated by “democrat operatives.” (Blue Lives Matter, my ass…)
Stacey Abrams has decided against running for Senate from Georgia, a Democrat with knowledge tells CNN, and she met with Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schemer today to inform him of her plan.

re: #20 Khal Wimpo (the extinguisher of tiki torches)
True on the state charges; but the problem is that Fed law supersedes and controls on a lot of the money-laundering and bank fraud charges. As well as the whole “collaborating with a hostile foreign power” stuff.
Some states have very stringent money laundering charges, such as NY and CA, so no, it wont supersede.
Pardons also raise Burdick issues - namely that to get the pardon, you’d have to allocute to a crime, and it then opens the door to revealing more criminality by others on both state and federal charges.
The federal conspiracy charges have no state analog, so if you are pardoned on those, there’s no way around it.

Yes. They tried the same exact gambit to go after Mueller and were caught with lying, forging signatures, and all the rest.
The latest incident should be another TOS violation for both on Twitter, and prosecutors should really consider indicting both. The state bar association should also go after Burkman’s law license.

Grown-ass adults shoving foods in each other’s mouths, where did that come from? It is a stock photo meme, intended to show, what, I dunno, having “fun” in a restaurant?
Has anyone here ever shared a bite with a loved one by cramming it directly into their mouth? With a fork? A chopstick? Your fingers? Was it a taco? Spaghetti? Were you drunk at the time? Just curious if people actually do this or it’s just a lame advertising gimmick.
Don’t look now, but the courts may be well on their way to all but criminalizing protest, should someone, anyone, at your protest decide to act up.
“One can only speculate on why these three judges—appointed by Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump—have decided that the First Amendment needs a working-over and that now is the time to do it.” @Profepps on Doe v. Mckesson: https://t.co/lnieoh1KIM
— The Atlantic (@TheAtlantic) April 30, 2019
On July 9, 2016, a group of Black Lives Matter activists blocked the highway in front of the Baton Rouge, Louisiana, police department headquarters to protest the July 5 killing of Alton Sterling. Someone threw a hard object at police, injuring a BPRD officer, who later reported “loss of teeth, a jaw injury, a brain injury, a head injury, lost wages, ‘and other compensable losses.’”
DeRay Mckesson, a high-profile, Baltimore-based Black Lives Matter organizer, was arrested along with more than 100 others. The anonymous officer, referred to as John Doe, sued McKesson and the entire Black Lives Matter movement, alleging that “McKesson did nothing to prevent the violence or to calm the crowd” and that he “incited the violence.”
Doe’s 17-page complaint portrays the BLM movement as a violent nationwide conspiracy. But nowhere does it allege a specific word or action taken by Mckesson that led to or caused the violence in Baton Rogue. The closest it gets is, “Black Lives Matter leadership ratified all action taken during the protest. DeRay McKesson ratified all action taken during the Baton Rogue protest.”
[…]
A panel of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals held the case from late 2017 until last week, when, without allowing oral argument, the panel reinstated the lawsuit. It said that the officer, if he proves his claims, could collect damages because “Mckesson breached his duty of reasonable care in the course of organizing and leading the Baton Rouge demonstration.” Because blocking a highway is against the law, “McKesson should have known that leading the demonstrators onto a busy highway was most nearly certain to provoke a confrontation between police and the mass of demonstrators, yet he ignored the foreseeable danger … and notwithstanding did so anyway.” Someone else threw the object; there was no evidence that Mckesson urged anyone to throw anything. Nonetheless “Mckesson’s negligent actions were the [factual] causes of Officer Doe’s injuries.”
The Fifth Circuit panel’s decision is clearly wrong under the law as it now stands. There can be no liability, civil or criminal, for speech that “incites” violence unless the defendant can be shown to have intentionally urged violence, knowing that listeners would likely respond immediately with violent behavior.
The last line alone basically echos our worst fears:
The last two years have been a kind of national Walpurgisnacht, calculated to summon the worst impulses of conservative jurists. We own the courts now, an inner voice may be whispering; no need for precedent or even explanation. Doe v. Mckesson may be an anomaly, but it also may be a straw in a very chill wind.

Also if you’re pardoned you can’t take the 5th if asked questions regarding those events if called upon to testify.

In regards to the situation in Venezuela, I can already see a few problems developing.
The coup plotters have apparently not bothered to seize communications as well as media outlets. Furthermore, you don’t launch a coup at 8 or 9 a.m.; you do it very early in the morning, around 3 or 4 a.m.
I could be wrong, but I think this looks like some ham-fisted attempted putsch that will likely end up in failure, and like I said, with either Guaido and friends dead or on the next plane to Miami.

I’m really worried we’re entering a redux of the Pre WWII days where nationalistic fascism and socialism or bust types are in competition and the average person is caught in the middle of these two ideologies.

I have actually seen Trumporrhoids on Twitter attempt to blame the Poway shooting on Ilhan Omar.
UPDATE: Trump has replaced the Second Amendment ads that violate Facebook policies with hundreds of new ads that attack “Anti Semite” Ilhan Omar and the Democratic Party (for embracing her).
Still no response from Facebook almost 24-hours later.https://t.co/PPqvbVVpU7 pic.twitter.com/EU1kPq1qGk— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) April 30, 2019

A pretty good diary on the appeal of Biden, especially among African Americans: dailykos.com. I thought this was an important two paragraphs:
I was also struck by the comments in the NYT article from Nasya Jenkins, 21, who was asked about the Anita Hill question. “I’m not really so caught up on what happened in the past,” Ms. Jenkins said. “We’re here now, with all the problems we have. What do you plan on doing to change that — period?”
Obviously, Biden is only starting to roll out the “what will you do?” part of his campaign — advocating for a $15/hr minimum wage and Medicare as a public option in his kickoff speech yesterday — but while so many of the candidates attractive to Kossacks are fighting over the Who’s Most Progressive banner, Biden is “targeting a swath of voters — including older, less educated and less liberal Democrats — who are often ignored by other candidates chasing younger voters more in keeping with the leftward energy in the party.”
I personally believe we should be bold, but I only get one vote.

Of that, there’s no doubt.
Whether it succeeds or not remains to be seen. If Guaido ends up in Miami by Thursday morning, proclaiming himself to be the “President-in-Exile”, then it’ll have obviously failed miserably.

Heh, who knows? But now I see Rick Scott is openly calling for direct US military intervention in Venezuela - and I have a bad feeling that any open US military support will be viewed by a good many Venezuelans as nothing less than typical US imperialism and any pretensions of legitimacy that Guadio might claim will go straight down the damn toilet.

re: #242 Unshaken Defiance

That’s what Maduro will say to terminate it, and anyone involved in it - that they are foreign interventionists backed by the US against the sovereign Venezuelans.
It strengthens Maduro’s hand, regardless of the veracity.
The coup plotters and backers could all be Venezuelans and have nothing to do with the US, but Maduro can claim that they are, pointing to Scott’s statements as proof that we’re backing Maduro’s enemies.
Nothing good will come of this.
Maduro has to go, but this complicates matters further.

Also: I noted that the Spokane Spokesman-Review (source of the article) only refers to Martin Sellner as an “Austrian nationalist”, and skirts any issues of exactly what sort of policies his group espouses. Must be that “liberal press” again….

Nope. Totally fucking believable.
He thinks taking POWs is the same as hostages?
So, he’s actually encouraging IS to take hostages or carry out attacks to secure the release of these prisoners? What exactly is the mindset here, because I’m staring into the abyss of a black hole of dumbfuckery. There’s so much bulkshit in those statements by Trump that it defies description.
He’s going to dump these prisoners on our allies because they aren’t doing enough? He’s going to do what exactly? He doesn’t have a clue, only empty threats.
