At a local fair a couple years back I found the Donald Duck.
Buttigieg says ‘reckoning’ coming over GOP and Christianity
Speaking on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Thursday, Buttigieg kicked off a day of television appearances in which he highlighted his Christian faith.
Republicans, he asserted, are “known for beating people on the head” with their faith while following a policy agenda aimed at reducing assistance for the poor and other policies he said were at odds with that message.
Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, said “there’s going to be a reckoning over that.”
I rather like Pete, though I don’t agree with him about everything. In particular, I think he wastes energy trying to win over Trumpites, where I have just written them off to concentrate on unity, and getting out the vote. Even so, I think he could actually beat Trump and by a pretty good margin. Such an election would become a national referendum on homophobia, since the GOP has monopolized the bigot vote and will not be able to restrain themselves from attacking him on that basis. Indeed, it might turn into a referendum on evangelical power in general.

Trump is going on for 6 fucking days about how he was “right” about Alabama being in the path of Dorian (it wasn’t), and this is his apparent current emotional state: (screaming) into the void:
Meanwhile, coastal Carolinas are a mess as the storm has cut power, flooded significant parts of the states, and there’s quite a bit of damage.
re: #15 Shiplord Kirel, Friend of Moose and Squirrel
These comments are why I would like to see him as the VP candidate. I’m not too sure about getting anyone back either but if he can pin the ears back on some of the evangelicals as well as Pence and his hypocrisy, that would go a long way towards ending the monopoly that the GOP has had on claiming “morality” religious or otherwise.

For some reason this morning, in a dream I had, looking at an image of art, some men are speaking and ask “what about Quisling?”
Of course that reference is about Vidkun Quisling, who collected art (not because he was an artist but because he could pick up art cheap after WWI and the Russian revolution) before he got into politics.
Thinking back on the dream, it seems to me that Trump is infatuated with Norway because he is very much like Quisling in a couple of ways. The attraction to fascism being a central theme. Now, Quisling was much more eloquent and better presented himself than Trump does, but they are of the same stripe.

As long as they remain politically active, they’ll find a home, especially if they can win primaries within whatever the conservative party will be or they can swing general election results.
Ideally, they’d be a third party that occasionally wins seats but is only invited to join a coalition government in the most severe circumstances (like we see in European politics)

-Cost the US $400B
-Force us to consume 320 billion more gallons of oil
-Make consumers pay more at the pump
-Degrade our air

The problem with that is nobody is going to ask about his health; certainly not the media. They can’t “both-sides” that question.
re: #35 Charles Johnson
They’re trying to break the EPA and the underlying authority granted to California to set its own fuel economy standards (which the automakers are willingly looking to do with CA).
Everything Trump touches dies. He and the GOP want to destroy the regulatory system and safety net, all while padding the courts with like-minded extremists that undermine the judicial underpinnings of the modern nation.
re: #35 Charles Johnson
That’s exactly what he wants. To destroy the liveability of the planet is the Republicans bigest dream, as long as they can make big money doing it.
I will withhold judgment until more facts are known, but this investigation raises a red flag. Sherman Act prohibits agreements for purpose or effect of limiting competition, but DOJ can’t use antitrust law to derail deal solely to undermine Calif’s higher emissions standards. https://t.co/ijZAx6OkD6

re: #35 Charles Johnson
From the linked NYT story:
The potential challenge to California’s authority, which would be a stinging broadside to the state’s governor and environmentalists, has been widely anticipated.
No, NYT, it’s not a broadside to political activities. It’s a broadside to my lungs.
The NYT is so unwilling to call out Trump for what he is, always casting Trump as some sort of sports figure simply playing against the other team.
re: #41 Dread Pirate
Nothing about this limits competition. CA has always had ability to set higher fuel economy levels than the US. It’s clear that Trump doesn’t give a shit about any of this.
Federalism allows the feds to set the floor for a given area of economic activity, but states can have a higher level - and CA has explicit ability to set higher fuel economy levels after consulting with multiple automakers who are intent on increasing their fuel economy standards above what Trump wants to roll back to.
Europe is setting higher standards, so CA is leading where Trump refuses to do (because Obama!)
re: #36 Eclectic Cyborg

Oh, they won’t be wiped out, not to the same extent the Whigs were anyway. They could become a regional rump party with no real relevance to national politics.
Trump will continue to lower standards everywhere he can, because it’s the only way to maintain a supply of Republican voters.
The most amazing thing about this whole “Sharpie-gate” stupidity is how easily Trump could have avoided it.

re: #35 Charles Johnson
Trump Admin is also looking into anti-trust violations because major auto manufacturers “struck a deal” with California on emissions.
Separately, the Justice Department has opened an antitrust probe into the deal, in which four automakers agreed on compromise tailpipe emissions requirements with California. The administration is also preparing to formally strip California’s authority to set auto efficiency regulations that are tougher than the federal government’s, according to people familiar with the matter.
I can’t imagine this ends well for Trump:
Automakers want to avoid splitting the market with two different standards — a federal mileage requirement in most states versus more stringent rules in more than a dozen states that adhere to California’s standards and account for more than a third of U.S. auto sales.
After talks with California and the Trump administration faltered, the California Air Resources Board announced in July an accord with the Ford Motor Co., Honda Motor Co., BMW AG and Volkswagen AG on tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions regulations.
The four carmakers agreed with California’s clean-air regulator to boost the fuel efficiency of autos sold in the U.S through 2026, defying a Trump administration proposal to ease mileage requirements enacted during the Obama administration.
The market is moving towards more efficient vehicles anyway.

That’s why these men who are marrying these so-called educated women, they are turning their husbands into housewives. They make them stay home, they make them babysit, they make them cook, they make them clean, they make them be the woman.”

This actually wouldn’t be the first time this has happened. The election of 1800 between Adams and Jefferson had a number of religious types chiming in on Adams’ side. The things said about Jefferson by the Federalist-leaning pastors would sound familiar to our ears today. In Jefferson’s case, they harped on him being a deist.

That’s true of almost everything, though. Mrs. FBW and I were talking the other day about characteristics of conservatives, and I pointed out their complete inability to understand anyone’s life experience being different from their own. They always think it’s about personal failing, till it hits them directly.
I used the example of the Cheney family and marriage equality. The only reason Dick Cheney supports marriage equality is because it affects his own daughter. But that effect didn’t even reach to her own sister.

Assuming the case is in federal court, it’ll probably 3 months to get past the pleading stage (first chance for a defendant to win a case is what’s called a 12(b) motion). Scheduling order that sets rules for discovery comes after that. Figure at least 2-3 months, if not longer given the need for experts. Then somebody probably files a motion for summary judgment. Under the FRCP that’s probably at least a month until it’s heard; but given calendaring issues, you’re likely looking at least 2. Given that it’s complex issues, the Court probably takes it under review before issuing a ruling (a couple weeks, most likely). So let’s say 8-9 months to get past MSJ, entirely possible that the ruling gets appealed by at least one party (figure a solid 6-8 months for that appeal to be heard and ruled on). Again, based on the court’s docket and calendar, assuming no appeal, probably another 2-3 months to get to trial.
So, realistically, best case scenario, a year to get to a bench trial. Whatever the verdict, you can anticipate an appeal, again, figure 6-8 months for Ninth Circuit to hear it, and then another year (or two, depending on when the petition for cert gets filed) for the SCOTUS to hear it. Then it has to go back down, potentially for a new trial.

That certainly aligns with what I see. I see my fellow effete urban elites riding light, mostly Carbon fiber or Aluminum bikes over in Woodside and Portola Valley wearing lycra shorts and helmets, but in town, most of the cyclists I see are Hispanics riding old, cheap, heavy steel bikes wearing ball caps and work clothes.
I would LOVE to be able to ride my bike to work sometimes. Unfortunately, this town lacks sidewalks or bike lanes on all but the busiest downtown roads. So it’s just too dangerous.

For me, I’d have to ride 20 miles each way. I did cyclo-commute when I lived 2 miles from work, back in the 1990s. But since then, it’s always been at least 15 miles, and on urban streets the whole way.

My commute is just under 9 miles. A bit of a ride for sure, but not totally out of the question. If I could ride I certainly wouldn’t ride every day.

Over the course of seven years, from 2006 to 2012, two pharmacies in rural northeast Louisiana, owned [by Dr.] Ralph Abraham, Clinic Pharmacy of Mangham and Adams Clinic Pharmacy of Winnsboro, doled out 1,478,236 doses of powerful opioids, according to a Drug Enforcement Administration database recently published by the Washington Post.
The pharmacies are 12.5 miles away from one another, and the two communities have a combined population of approximately 6,000 people. Despite the surge in opioid prescriptions, the region’s population has actually decreased during the previous twenty years.

re: #77 Blind Frog Belly White
That’s true of almost everything, though. Mrs. FBW and I were talking the other day about characteristics of conservatives, and I pointed out their complete inability to understand anyone’s life experience being different from their own. They always think it’s about personal failing, till it hits them directly.
I used the example of the Cheney family and marriage equality. The only reason Dick Cheney supports marriage equality is because it affects his own daughter. But that effect didn’t even reach to her own sister.
There was also a guy on the Bowsite, who was as conservative as anyone there, till he lost his well-paid job and couldn’t find one for a while. And he got shit from some there for not taking shit jobs that paid less than his unemployment insurance.
The only reason Liz Cheney did not support her sister is that it would cost her the conservative vote. I am sure she personally doesn’t care about the issue — but she does care about being elected. Not a single member of the GOP will stand up for principles that diverge from the party orthodoxy and run on them and, if elected, continue to support them. They are all cowards.

How the GOP Dies, by Nancy LeTourneau, Washington Monthly
Good stuff, which Sleuth will be happy to know smacks Hillbilly Elegy right at the beginning.
Mencimer is right to suggest that Republicans don’t seem interested in remaining relevant when it comes to policy. She echoes what Zach Roth suggested when he wrote that, at some point, the GOP decided that “being outnumbered didn’t have to mean losing.” Instead, they zeroed in on things like obstruction, voter suppression, and gerrymandering. More recently, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has demonstrated that he is content with undermining Congress while stacking the courts with extremists in an attempt to bypass the majority of voters.
But both Greenberg and Mencimer fail to address what Zak Cheney-Rice captured in an article titled, “A Non-Racist Conservative Movement Would Kill the Republican Party.” He focused on pieces from Ross Douthat and Timothy P. Carney, which articulated the same theme: “American conservatism has a racism problem, and conservatives who care must build a movement that is unwelcoming to racists.” Cheney-Rice points out the issue both Mencimer and Greenberg missed.
[I]t’s been apparent since the Nixon administration that the Republican Party would collapse without support from racists….In any case, the GOP hasn’t been able to convince most voters that corporate welfare, reduced protections for marginalized people, and diminished health-care options for all but the most financially secure are good things on their own terms, without using racism to sweeten the deal.

Alabamaghazi seems like one of the least harmful Trump delusions, and it is in the best interests of the United States of America to keep him single-mindedly focused on trying to prove he was right for the remainder of his presidency.

BREAKING from @PaulSzoldra: Top Navy SEAL admiral fires entire leadership team of SEAL Team 7 over a “breakdown of good order and discipline.” https://t.co/RTddngP61h
— Haley Britzky (@halbritz) September 6, 2019
Cmdr. Edward Mason, the commanding officer of ST7; Lt. Cmdr. Luke Im, the executive officer; and Command Master Chief Hugh Spangler were all relieved of their leadership posts on Friday, said Cmdr. Tamara Lawrence.
The relief was carried out by Rear Adm. Collin Green, the commanding officer of NSW. Lawrence said their relief was “due to a loss of confidence that resulted from leadership failures that caused a breakdown of good order and discipline within two subordinate units while deployed to combat zones.”
The spokeswoman declined to name who would take their place, citing operational security concerns for those SEALs and their families.
The “two subordinate units” are likely references to ST7 Alpha and Foxtrot Platoon, though Lawrence declined to name them when asked by Task & Purpose.
SEAL Team 7 Alpha Platoon made national news after SEAL Chief Eddie Gallagher was accused of war crimes during a 2017 deployment to Mosul, Iraq. Despite his acquittal on murder charges in early July, his court-martial revealed that members of the platoon had constructed their own rooftop bar in Iraq and engaged in other alleged misconduct on deployment.
More recently, the entirety of SEAL Team 7 Foxtrot Platoon was pulled out of Iraq last month amid allegations of a boozy Fourth of July party and an allegation of sexual assault.

Beekeepers Sue EPA (goes to KNEB radio, Scottsbluff, Nebr., more at the link):
OMAHA (DTN) — The EPA now faces a second petition for review on its approval of the insecticide sulfoxaflor, as beekeepers filed a challenge in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in San Francisco on Friday.
The Pollinator Stewardship Council and American Beekeeping Federation have asked the court to nullify the agency decision made in July.
“Petitioners ask this court to set aside EPA’s July 12, 2019, orders with respect to sulfoxaflor in whole or in part, because they are contrary to federal law and unsupported by substantial evidence in the record,” the groups said in the petition.
At the end of August, the Center for Food Safety asked the Ninth Circuit to review EPA’s recent approval of sulfoxaflor.
In July, the EPA announced newly approved registrations and restored previous uses for the insecticide. The Center for Food Safety argued the agency violated its duties under the Endangered Species Act by “failing to consult with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service or the National Marine Fisheries Service.”

You can’t beat Fox News with nothing. There must be a D propaganda effort to balance that.

And so it goes. ThinkProgress really was an excellent resource, if for some unknown reason you like your news without dicks drawn on it in Sharpie. So were all the others listed above, except the Weekly Standard which we’ll see in hell.
If our tone is weird and brittle here — ha ha, we kilt them? ho ho? — it is because shit is fucked up and bullshit. Of course we don’t want to see TP go; of course we don’t like it when our “industry” hacks and wheezes and falls one by one at the side of the road. We stopped with the ads two years ago now, but others, like ThinkProgress, are still succumbing to the ad industry’s squeezing and avarice, while venture capitalists pour more money into any site that says it can game the ad-buying auctions.
Wonkette does not actually want to be the last news site standing. But we are filling a niche — and according to the latest “Ad Fontes Media Media Bias Chart,” it’s alllllll the way to the left and more “unreliable” than the guys at WND who THINK BARACK OBAMA LITERALLY ENSLAVED WHITE MEN, by hiring them, to work at the White House, where he was (WE HATE TO SAY IT) president.

This is incredible: North Carolina Republicans have proposed that Art Pope—who funded REDMAP, the GOP’s gerrymandering program, in NC, and literally helped draw the 2011 gerrymander there—serve as a special master to help draw new legislative districts. https://t.co/tGNhJoUkv0

“Bad faith” isn’t a strong enough term for what North Carolina Republicans are doing here. It’s more like trolling the court. Again, Art Pope bankrolled *and helped draw* NC’s gerrymanders. To propose that he help fix the current gerrymander is just flipping off the judges.

My sister sent me a listing noting my late Aunt Zelda’s home is up for sale in my hometown in Michigan. (It is over one hundred years old, built from limestone and glacial moraine stones.) She thought I might want to buy it (don’t have that kind of money, the owners want about $40,000).
I finally watched the latest Fuckface Von Clownstick CNN video.

Unfortunately, she has used the attack as a launch pad for a bizarre and undercooked exercise in rhetorical bothsidesism, in which she argues that American Jews should be just as worried about college students who overzealously criticize Israel as they are about the aspiring Einsatzgruppen who shoot up shuls.
Absolutely disgraceful. It’ll take decades to rebuild the United States’ reputation in global politics.

No cartridge filters. Our tank is a 200 gallon mixed reef, about 8 months old. For filtration we have some live sand at the bottom, miracle mud in the refugium, about 135 lbs of Life Rock in the tank, a sump with 3 filter socks, a Vertex protein skimmer and a refugium containing chaetomorpha growing under led lighting.
I also put in a UV clarifier and a media reactor tumbling activated charcoal, but I don’t think they’re really doing jack shit. Most of the hard work is being done by the protein skimmer, the chaeto, and the bacteria on the rock. Growing it slowly, right now has:
Corals: a small birdsnest, a green star polyp frag, a small and a medium hammer, a medium purple bubble, and an orange sunburst. Everything is doing great except the sunburst, which is new and is also the only one that doesn’t have any photosynthetic bacteria to help it along. It seems to be doing better now that I moved it to a high flow area and have been spot feeding it.
Fish: 9 blue-green chromis, a mated pair of clowns, a blue tang, yellow tang and a sailfin tang.
Arthropods: 2 emerald crabs, a cleaner shrimp, a banded coral shrimp, a fire shrimp, a shit ton of copepods in the chaeto.
Also: some bristle worms stowaways that live in the refugium chaeto, seem harmless and occasionally they get into the main tank so the banded coral shrimp gets a treat.

Wholly crap.
There will also be rough and pounding surf, especially for parts of Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Waves of 7 to 10 metres will reach the Southwestern Shore of Nova Scotia during the day and spread to the Eastern Shore tonight. These waves will likely reach southern Newfoundland by Sunday morning with waves nearing 12 metres. Waves of 4 to 7 metres will impact north facing coasts of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Note that waves will break higher along some of the coastlines, and dangerous rip currents are likely. Please exercise extreme caution.
Waves of seven to ten metres. That’s on top of the storm surge and high tide.

I see some excitement over the announcement about the House Judiciary Committee’s move next week and just can’t help but shake my head. This isn’t some bold new step so much as a grudging admission that the “hearings as a substitute for impeachment” strategy is stalled. Every “key witness” has clammed up, all the “key evidence” is being locked down by exec branch stooges, and every “key move” has been met with a court challenge. And since it’s being treated not as an impeachment proceeding, but an exercise of Congress’ oversight powers, the courts are in no rush to rule on anything. If Pelosi and/or Nadler are signing off on this, it’s because it’s the only way they can hope to make their 2020 “case” for voters before 2020.
Scottish Government-owned Prestwick Airport paid £9m by Trump administration (Goes to The Scottsman, more at the link):
The loss making state-owned hub, which was put up for sale earlier this month by the Scottish Government, has received close to 650 orders since October 2017 for jet fuel.
Contract details drawn up by a US Defence Department agency indicate the deal could ultimately secure Prestwick’s parent company an additional £8m, while a new contract is set to extend the arrangement until autumn 2024.
The flurry of transactions - the equivalent of more than 35 a month - has reignited criticism of the SNP government for fostering close economic ties with the US military while publicly admonishing the president’s character and his foreign policies.

Thieves used voice-mimicking software to imitate a company executive’s speech and dupe his subordinate into sending hundreds of thousands of dollars to a secret account, the company’s insurer said, in a remarkable case that some researchers are calling one of the world’s first publicly reported artificial-intelligence heists.
The managing director of a British energy company, believing his boss was on the phone, followed orders one Friday afternoon in March to wire more than $240,000 to an account in Hungary, said representatives from the French insurance giant Euler Hermes, which declined to name the company.
The request was “rather strange,” the director noted later in an email, but the voice was so lifelike that he felt he had no choice but to comply. The insurer, whose case was first reported by the Wall Street Journal, provided new details on the theft to The Washington Post on Wednesday, including an email from the employee tricked by what the insurer is referring to internally as “the false Johannes.”

Wild, must read story. An Alaska Airlines employee decided out of thin air that two Asian passengers who did not in fact know each other were terrorists, confronted them, called the cops and announced a mass evacuation.
What Caused The Mass Panic At Newark Airport? Racism.
“Everybody started running. It was the most insane scene I’ve ever been in or ever seen.”
The Ronan Farrow story is out. It’s (for him) relatively brief, but it’s damning for the MIT Media Lab. Basically, Media Lab tried to keep their relationship with Jeffrey Epstein under wraps, while still soliciting money from him, allowing him to develop other donors and otherwise treating him like a VIP donor. This despite the fact that Epstein was marked as disqualified in the MIT central donor database.
What’s interesting about this is there was an all-hands meeting at Media Lab on Wednesday to try and address the controversy over the director of Media Lab, Joi Ito, taking money from Epstein. At the end of the meeting, one of the founders of Media Lab, Nicholas Negroponte, stood up and
said he had recommended that Ito take Epstein’s money. “If you wind back the clock,” he added, “I would still say, ‘Take it.’” And he repeated, more emphatically, “‘Take it.’”
One of the women staffers at Media Lab was so shocked by this she started crying, and Kate Darling, a scientist, shouted, “Nicholas, shut up!”
Negroponte, for his part, apparently told the Boston Globe he was defending the original decision to take the money, not to continue to take money.
Ronan Farrow doesn’t mention Wednesday’s Media Lab meeting in his story, but it’s worth reading both articles together to get a fuller idea of what was going on with MIT and Epstein.

The House Democrats are announcing that they are doing exactly what some of us here said (to the consternation of others): After summer, when people are more likely to be paying attention, they would formally announce steps that will lead to impeachment.
I feel it is my obligation as someone who respects all religions, races, and ethnicities, people in general, to speak up loudly and soberly whenever the President of the US retweets an outspoken white supremacist and bigot.
This is one of those moments. https://t.co/jxj93VRsx7— Jeremy Newberger (@jeremynewberger) September 7, 2019
That no one is advising Trump in his inner circle that this person he is choosing to amplify to millions of people is a vile racist, speaks to how lost our current administration is. We would be wise to vote him out and begin the hard work of stamping out white supremacism.

re: #456 Belafon

And according to Barr, a President (R) is an absolute dictator. The Federalist Society appointees will share that opinion.
I do hope that the violation of campaign finance laws regarding Stormy Daniels and others is not the main reason for impeachment. The fact that he is a traitor serving the interests of Putin should rank higher on the charges — and they better get his tax returns for the past decade at least; otherwise they aren’t going to be proving anything that will persuade enough of the public that he needs to be dismissed through this mechanism.

Yeah, that’s not what I’m reading. What I’m reading is Nadler is pursuing this course because his investigations have stalled. That his announcement during the break that said investigations were actually impeachment ones was so confusing both in and outside the House that this vote is about clarifying just what the parameters are. That the House is not formally looking to impeach Donald Trump, but are just saying they’re considering it as a way of motivating the courts weighing in on the numerous legal actions brought before to move a bit faster.
By the way, those of us who’ve been saying for months now that the House should formally begin impeachment hearings said so largely because…wait for it…doing so would give the Judiciary Committee and other committees conducting their own investigations the legal precedent to compel witnesses to testify and enforce subpoenas for evidence.

I’d just point out that the Trump administration has been defying subpoenas right and left. I don’t think the political will to enforce subpoenas is there yet, especially if it involves sending out marshals to drag unwilling witnesses in.

The Rethugs know that Barr has their back and will interfere with any attempt to enforce subpoenas. Barr makes John Mitchell look like a model of rectitude. Barr should be impeached but any impeachment process will fail because the Senate will not convict no matter how heinous the crime. And Barr has no shame so I don’t think that there is anything that could force him to resign, except for Trump’s displeasure.
