I suppose Sen. Warren could go after them for defamation (assuming it was untrue, but YOU NEVER KNOW hennnngh?) but it seems that it is much better for her to simply weaponise them as idiots.
Police investigating posters reported as hate speech (Goes to the Scottsbluff, Nebr. Star-Herald, more at the link).
SCOTTSBLUFF ā Two local women who are part of a local advocacy group have reported finding posters that they classify as hate speech.
Two members of the Panhandle Equality group report finding a poster that touched off a series of events that culminated with the discovery of an inflammatory poster in Scottsbluff and Gering neighborhoods on Monday.
ā¦
On Monday, Sept. 16, the women told the Star-Herald, a member of the group had been en route to work when he reported seeing posters in a Scottsbluff neighborhood, with the words āDefend Moralityā and an image of a couple holding an umbrella over their two children. According to a reverse image search, a similar poster had been used on the Instagram page of a group touting āHeterosexual Pride Month,ā and depicts a couple holding an umbrella and shielding their children from rainbow colors, often associated with gay pride, from raining down.
Panhandle Equality was the group formed a couple years ago as the first LGBT+ rights promotion group in the area. Their most visible event here is a public pot-luck picnic in a public park in Scottsbluff. (They do not do Pride parades here, arguing they are trying to not antagonise local people while showing theyāre ājust folks.ā)
Ginnie Graham in the Tulsa World argues:
Ginnie Graham: Instead of freeing more nipples, we should equally ban all of them, men and women (goes to the op-ed page)
Her argument boils down to:
1) Iām overweight
2) Iām ashamed of my breasts, therefore
3) No one should be allowed to go shirtless, men or women.
There was a recent āfree the nippleā rollerblading protest in Tulsa last Sunday. Mostly it didnāt do much. Oklahoma survived Boobquake 2019.
Her argument is essentially the opposite of New York State and a Colorado city regarding the I and XIV Amendments: Instead of treating women equally by allowing them to be topless anywhere men can, no one should be topless.
That argument would certainly meet the requirements of equality under the law in the XIV Amendment, but still fails freedom of speech in the I Amendment. It does, however, fit well with the shame in nearly every Christian faith and conservative arguments that the body is somehow āsinfulā to look at or display (especially womenās boobs).
And if they canāt get women to cover up, then they will go after men so they can get the women too.

The damn āService Host Push Notification Serviceā in Microsoft Windows 10 is eating up all my CPU space again, currently at 4,128 Mb and rising 20 Mb every scan. It is slowing down my computer so much the cursor is not responding to the touch pad.
Iāll try shutting it down, but this usually means I have to restart my computer before it locks up.
As many complaints as Microsoft has gotten over this, youād think they would at least acknowledge there is a problem.
In just this little time typing this, it is now at 4,450 Mb.
And just like that, CPU usage plunges from 92% to 50% and memory plunges from 96% to 38%.

Bill Clinton did not lose his license. He agreed to a five-year suspension of his license by the state of Arkansas. He was barred by the Supreme Court from arguing cases there.

BS argument floating around the swamps of reich-wing social media: Democrats have tried to impeach every Republican president since Eisenhower.
Since Ike, there have been six GOP presidents. The argument is false on its face because no one tried to impeach Gerald Ford.
A smattering of Democrats did file bills to impeach the others, but except for Nixon none had any support (they were mostly grandstanding).
Conspiracy theories are pretty much all they have left by this point, as it fits the mindset of their base that everything is a grand conspiracy by some shadowy cabal to bring down America.

MGM Resorts settled an $800million lawsuit over the mass-murder at the Mandalay Bay resort two years ago.
LAS VEGAS (AP) ā Two years after a shooter rained gunfire on country music fans from a high-rise Las Vegas Strip hotel, MGM Resorts International has agreed to pay up to $800 million to families of the 58 people who died and hundreds of others who were injured, attorneys announced Thursday.
The out-of-court agreement will resolve lawsuits in at least 10 states seeking compensation from the hotel owner for physical and psychological injuries received in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.
Publicly traded MGM Resorts acknowledged no liability or guilt with the agreement that attorneys said was reached Monday and made public just two days after the second anniversary of the Oct. 1, 2017, massacre at a country music concert.

His group promotes fundraisers which donate funds to mental health charities every month.
Each month on his Faceborg page, he asks followers which group they should fundraise for.
This time round, numerous people suggested that he donate to Christian churches or charities in the area. He declined, saying his group solely donates to mental health charities.
He was then outed as an atheist, and Christians from all over the country are now filling his Faceborg page and YouTube video comments with hate and vitriol, claiming he hates Christianity because his group wonāt donate to Christian groups (instead of mental health charities), threats, &c.

I wasted my monthly one free article on this. Quite possibly the dumbest thing I have ever read.
Given the state of the union, this trip down memory lane is rather poignant. From the Washington Post a few days ago.
Deep Throatās identity was a mystery for decades because no one believed this woman
Nora Ephron told everyone who the anonymous source for Woodward and Bernsteinās Watergate scoops was. And she was right.
So elsewhere, people were talking about āwhy is Giuliani doing this? Why doesnāt he just retireā, and it seems to me that he could have kept his head down more than he hasā¦.but itās quite hard to retire from a crime syndicate.
Itās not obvious that all of the crap is going to come out, but the overlap between:
* Trump who was involved in many building project in the 80s and 90s when their were many prosecutions against the mob for fraud and money laundering related to building projects.
* Giuliani who prosecuted many of those cases, but never prosecuted Trump, and instead grew a relationship with him
* The senior leadership of the FBI that work in the Southern District of New York, who are people who Giuliani would have been working with, and were involved in the decision to not prosecute Trump, and who were also the people who leaked news about some emails on Anthony Weinerās computer, which persuaded Comey to make a press announcement right before the election, that Hillary Clinton was still under investigation.
It seems pretty likely to me that even if Giuliani wanted to retire, he is used to doing what the āorganisationā asks of him.
I also suspect that there is a very long history of criminal acts that could be exposed when Trump loses power, and someone investigates Giulianiās connections to the NY FBI. If Rudy is scared of going to prison if it ever comes out, that would explain his actions.
Both Trump and Giuliani are doing pretty much everything they can to not lose power, but I also suspect weāre going to see more foul play from the corrupt FBI people who are friends with those two.

Yes, California issued a felony warrant for his arrest for selling securities unlawfully.
Heās already been arraigned and is scheduled to appear in court October 24.

The allegation that Wohl and Johnson unlawfully sold securities centers on one of Wohlās financial companies, Montgomery Assets. A warrant application filed by the Riverside County District Attorneyās Office notes that the three-year statute of limitations on the case was set to expire at the end of August 2019, meaning prosecutors had to file by the end of last month if they wanted to pursue charges.
āIn 2016 Jacob Wohl and Matthew Johnson represented themselves as members of a company called Montgomery Assets,ā the warrant application reads. āOn July 27, 2016 through August 27, 2016 Jacob Wohl and Matthew Johnson offered for sale unqualified securities in violation of California Corporations Code 25110 which has a three year statute of limitations and must be tolled by the issuance of an arrest warrant.ā

Rick Perry is reportedly out as Energy Sec. Probably counting on a Trump full Pardon in exchange for silence on everything related to Trump Crime Family Inc. That blanket Pardon better come quick.
Perry announced he was planning to leave by November back in April. This is just reupping and updating on that plan. Coincidence mostly, but know too that Perry is implicated in the Ukraine matter because he went to Zelinskyās inauguration in the place of Pence, which means he knew or had reason to know why he was going and not Pence or Trump.

Also, theyāre still coming for Roe:
The Supreme Court agreed on Friday to take up an abortion case this term, adding an explosive issue to an already robust docket of controversial issues in the middle of the 2020 presidential election.
The justices will consider a Louisiana law that requires doctors to obtain admitting privileges from a nearby hospital.
This is the first abortion case that will be argued since Justice Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch joined the bench, solidifying a conservative majority.
While the case does not directly challenge Roe v Wade, supporters of abortion rights are fearful that this is the first of what could be a growing number of opportunities for the new conservative majority to chip away at abortion rights.
The Center for Reproductive Rights, representing an abortion clinic and two Louisiana physicians, argues that if the law is allowed to go into effect is will leave āonly one doctor to care for every woman seeking an abortion in the state.ā
My home state of Mississippi passed a similar law a couple years back. It was eventually struck down as unconstitutional. However, there is only abortion clinic in the state and itās in Jackson. The major hospital in Jackson is a catholic hospital. As such, when the doctors from the abortion clinic applied for admitting privileges (to comply with the law), the hospital told them nicely to fuck off. Had the law stood, it would have eliminated abortion access in Mississippi.
If the Supreme Court rules in favor of Louisiana, abortion access will likely be COMPLETELY ELIMINATED in a number of states as itās a safe bet all of the deep red southern and midwestern states will rush to pass āadmitting privilegesā laws of their own.
This could get real messy, folks.

Hunter Walk, a former product director at Google who is now a venture capitalist, calls it his āevolution.ā
āTo find her right on everything else and then disqualifying when itās about my industry? Maybe thatās a little bit too precious,ā said Walk. āIām willing to say, āYes, change all the other things! Uproot all these other assumptions!ā But then, oh my goodness, when she said something about tech, thatās disqualifying? Come on.ā
Walk isnāt alone. Recodeās canvass of a group of major Democratic donors and fundraisers in Silicon Valley shows Warren is making significant inroads with some of techās wealthiest Democrats. That progress would have been unthinkable just six months ago after she called for the industryās iconic companies to be split asunder.
Warren has not moderated her at times vitriolic rhetoric toward Silicon Valley. But tech elites are not, as often caricatured, single-issue voters driven by tech policy. And the two dozen tech executives, investors, and veteran fundraisers who spoke with Recode outlined three key reasons why their industry is making this unexpected shift toward Warren: They say they respect her policy rigor. They see her as less radical than once imagined (and especially when compared to Bernie Sanders). And perhaps most importantly, she has a reasonable path to winning the nomination, and thereās nothing Silicon Valley loves more than a winner.
Whatās even more unusual is that Warren is gaining traction with these elites by doing barely any of the traditional coaxing and coddling that is a mainstay of todayās big-money era. While some of her 2020 competitors are returning to Silicon Valley multiple times within a single month, Warren is, by at least one measure, doing the best in the tech industry while also doing the least ā sometimes with gleeā¦
