Oct. 21, 2019 | Felix Contreras — Something happens for me when I hear jazz mixing it up with Brazilian rhythms. In the right hands it falls into the realm of magic.

Pianist, multi-instrumentalist and composer Jovino Santos Neto certainly cast a spell over those who gathered for this joyful turn behind the Tiny Desk.

His trio rushed right out of the gate with the samba-influenced “Pantopé” that introduces the concept of the trio: seamless interaction between the musicians that make the band sound like one big, melodic rhythm machine.

“Sempre Sim” starts with percussionist Jeff Busch riffing on the traditional percussion instrument called berimbau, its ethereal sound creating the perfect intro to the dreamy melody and solo from Santos Neto on piano, while bassist Tim Carey echoes the double beat on the bass drum that drives Brazilian music.

Santos Neto says Erê represents the spirits of children in the Brazilian Umbanda tradition, which makes “festa de Erê” an appropriate title for the intensely whimsical tune that weaves in and out of the different traditional rhythms performed by all three musicians.

Jovino Santos Neto played for many years with Hermeto Pascoal, widely considered to be Brazil’s greatest living musician. Pascoal can play practically anything he lays his hands on and some of that must have rubbed off on Jovino Santos Neto. You can see it when he picks up his flute mid song, then eventually plays both piano and flute at the same time.

Like the sometimes frenetic engery of the music they play, Jovino Santos Neto and his trio are perfect examples of musicians who have so much music coming from within, sometimes one instrument is just not enough.

SET LIST

“Festa de Erê”

And boo. He’s sideways. Mr. Charles. Maybe a bug. When choosing a size other than original on iOS Safari, photos seem to turn on their side. Can you flip him upright at least? Thank you sir!

re: #406 goddamnedfrank

If they do try hearing it as a stalling tactic I could see Roberts siding with the four liberal Justices to immediately fast track the case and get it over with ASAP. Yes, he’s a shit head, but a shit head with a long term view towards not seeing the Court further delegitimized by stunts like this.

I could see that as well, but only time will tell. We’ve been surprised by this court before.

Looks like Hungarian neo-Nazi Sebastian Gorka got his YouTube channel terminated…..and all because he loved Imagine Dragons so much he kept posting their music despite repeated copyright violation notices.

Former White House aide Sebastian Gorka’s YouTube account has been terminated for repeated copyright infringement.

Gorka, an ex-Breitbart editor who now hosts the conservative radio show “America First,” seems to have lost his entire YouTube channel after repeated unauthorized use of the Imagine Dragons song “Radioactive” on his show, episodes of which are uploaded to YouTube.

MAGNA, Utah — Unified Police said they have located missing 7-year-old Amberley Russell, who was last seen Monday leaving Elk Run Elementary School around 3:20 p.m.

UPD said Utah Transit Authority Police located the girl around 4 p.m. near a light rail station and took her to the Christmas Box House.

Russell told UTA Police she was homeless and UPD officials said her parents could not be reached.

I don’t know…this seems to be donny peripheral at best. law.com

Bruce Rogow, Stone’s attorney, argued those sections showed the scope of the House investigation. He said the perception around any efforts to reach WikiLeaks, as Stone did, had “morphed” into the idea that the person had done something wrong or illegal.

Jackson, seeming a bit frustrated, said again that Stone wasn’t charged with contacting WikiLeaks but with lying about those attempted contacts.

“You’re the one who keeps putting Russian interference in play,” she said.

Attorneys also discussed the kinds of questions that can be put to witnesses. Jackson raised a motion filed by government lawyers that sought to limit the scope of questioning for one witness, likely former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon.

Jackson noted that the motion was filed under seal, but that she had seen reports naming the witness. A person familiar with Bannon’s expected appearance during the trial confirmed late last month that Bannon would be a government witness.

The judge said DOJ lawyers had asked to keep questions related to the person’s time on the Trump campaign, as privilege issues could be raised about the person’s work on the Trump transition team or at the White House.

But anything that takes down that lying sack o’ crap Stone is fine with me. And if Bannon somehow gets his dick put into a vice, I would be good with that, too.

That fine outstanding Christian Joey Gibson now facing two lawsuits.

Far-right leader Joey Gibson, several current and former associates, and three Washington State Patrol (WSP) police officers are facing a civil rights lawsuit in Washington state over a violent confrontation at Evergreen State College on 15 June 2017.

Gibson is the leader of rightwing activist group Patriot Prayer and the suit is one of a proliferating set of legal actions associated with Gibson’s activities in Oregon and Washington throughout the Trump era.

Gibson and other associates are also defendants in a suit brought by Cider Riot, a Portland cidery popular with the city’s radical left that was the center of a violent brawl on 1 May 2019, after Gibson and his associates made their way there, some armed with bricks, batons and chemical weapons.

The cidery’s owner, Abram Goldman-Armstrong, is seeking $1m from Gibson and his co-defendants.

Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. Today’s a good day to remind everyone that Roger Stone’s trial is getting underway, Volker and Sondland’s testimony is being released, and Lev Parnas is turning state’s evidence and will cooperate with the House impeachment effort.

The GOP strategy appears to be to try and subpoena Schiff into testifying.

Schiff has nothing to worry about and this is a deflection and dodge by the GOP knowing full well what’s awaiting them today:

Parnas turning on Rudy and Trump;
Stone’s trial gets underway; and
Sondland and Volker’s testimony is released, and all of it will be bad for Trumpworld.

The GOP strategy is all in on smearing the investigators into Trump’s impeachable and felonious conduct, because the facts and the law don’t support the GOP or Trump. It’s all they have left, and Newt’s one of the big cheerleaders of this bulkshit.

Reminder: While Newt was cheering on the impeachment of Clinton, Newt was busy having extramarital affair on the side.

His name is Donny Iris, and his biggest hit was ‘Ah Leah.’ A very cool song with one of the nerdiest video appearances of the star ever. Donny was rockin’ an updated Buddy Holly vibe…

I seem to have missed something: the GOP (who?) wants to *subpoena* Adam Schiff to *testify*?? Where? And to whom? And “under oath”?

This is pathetic even by House Republican standards [sic]: AFAICT, Schiff has been running his Committee inquiry strictly by the book ( a book authored by the GOP in 2015, but never mind). And regardless of what pictures partisan morons like Newt try to paint, he’s been as upfront as circumstances allow (Projection obviously in action here: Trump is one who has made lying into SOP).

Of course slagging the Chairman and trying to delegitimize the investigation is all they have: but isn’t that why Twitter was developed?

A federal appeals panel said on Monday that President Trump’s accounting firm must turn over eight years of his personal and corporate tax returns to Manhattan prosecutors, a setback for the president’s attempt to keep his financial records private.

Almost immediately after the ruling, one of the president’s personal lawyers, Jay Sekulow, said Mr. Trump would appeal to the Supreme Court. The president maintains that the Constitution shields him from any criminal investigation.

Nah I understood you were being sarcastic yourself. I know you don’t actually believe Trump has sacrificed but plenty of his supporters believe he has. I still remember the question at the debate- how have you sacrificed? He could’t give an answer.

I fucking hate Republicans:

(The Hill) The Republican National Committee (RNC) funded an effort to tie up House Democrats’ office phone lines as the impeachment fight with the Trump administration intensifies, The New York Times reported Monday.

The RNC paid for about 11,000 calls to almost three dozen House Democrats to influence public opinion on the impeachment inquiry and clog the representatives’ phone lines, affecting access to the lawmakers, two people briefed on the effort told the Times.

RNC officials reportedly discussed the plan at an event with more than a dozen GOP aides, advisers and officials, called the “Off the Record” dinner, the sources told the Times. The officials signaled the calls were automated and the goal was to jam the Democrats’ phone lines.

Republican committee officials told the Times the calls were not prerecorded “robocalls” and the organization utilized a vendor to ask voters their opinions on the inquiry. If voters were against the inquiry, the call allowed them to be forwarded to their House representative’s office.

An analogy that came to mind this morning when reading about Trump’s efforts to turn cybersecurity over to the Russians is that Trump is really the Trojan horse that will lead to the total destruction of the most powerful nation on earth during a single administration. In this case, of course, the Trojan horse came with blinking lights that advised of its contents — but everyone ignored the warning.

And then I saw lizardofid’s comment (Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes :-) — the little I recall of my HS years studying Latin) and it seemed the theme of the day.

Pennsylvania, Chester County. The polling place was a church’s office/admin building and the candidate was outside. Since there were signs there as well I figure that was at the radius defined by the regulations.

… The odds are pretty good they decline the case, since Chief Justice John Roberts surely does not want to touch such a hot-button issue, and since the legal doctrines in question are quite clear. If the Court does take the case, and they decide they want to bail Trump out, they’re really going to have to stand on their heads to come up with a justification….

Texas Proposition 7, the Increase Distributions to School Fund Amendment, is on the ballot in Texas as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment on November 5, 2019.
A “yes” vote supports this amendment to allow the General Land Office and State Board of Education to each transfer $600 million from the Permanent School Fund’s lands and properties proceeds to the Available School Fund each year.
A “no” vote opposes this amendment, thereby keeping the amount of revenue that the General Land Office is permitted to transfer from the Permanent School Fund’s lands and properties proceeds to the Available School Fund at $300 million per year and excluding the State Board of Education from making transfers from the fund’s lands and properties proceeds.

It would be ruled the same way as Gore v Bush — that it doesn’t apply to anyone else or any other situation— because this court will rule the opposite way once a Democrat is in office.

Impossible. They are being asked to rule whether a sitting president can be criminally investigated. I don’t believe there would be any legal contortions available that could result in any kind of limited holding.

“Our rapidly declining city”

One week after making a big show of moving to Florida, he’s suddenly a New Yorker again.

//

yeah, about that… more from electoral-vote.com this AM

…In essence, what he did was file a legal document announcing “I’m a Floridian now!” Easy as pie, right? Maybe not so much, as it turns out.

…New York is pretty vigilant about making sure the person has actually “moved.” If they seem to be spending the same amount of time in the Empire State after “changing” residence, or they hold most of their property there, or they have not taken steps like moving their valuables and/or changing their will, the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance will reject a person’s change of domicile (or could declare them to be a resident of both states, which would still leave them subject to New York tax, inheritance, and bankruptcy laws).

The President might think that New York’s opinion doesn’t matter, since he is now a “resident” of Florida. The problem, however, is that Florida law is basically in agreement with New York law; the folks in the former aren’t interested in merely being used as a tax haven by folks from the latter. At very least, Trump is going to have to work much harder in order to make himself a Floridian. At worst, he’s not going to be able to pull it off. (Z)

why not save time and just write a memo that says trump is innocent so no investigation is necessary, and be done with it?

If you go back far enough, all languages have borrowed, stolen, dumped on etc. on each other. I have a vague recollection of a docu on teh Beeb about linguistics which they finished off by the original words for things… Shocker when the original for hole was “kolo”, which is Finnish for hole…
Also, did you know that the Finnish word for “king”, “kuningas”, is borrowed from ancient Norse’s “Kuningaz”?

I really think the mistake that ethno-nationalists make willingly or unwillingly is to see the nation state as uniform nationalities. As you all know, I have ancestral roots in Slovakia but my ancestors unlike the majority of Slovak citizens are Eastern Slavic versus Western. Their religious and cultural traditions more inspired by Constantinople than Rome. No shame in either traditions. It’s just like there have been German speakers spreadout continental Europe for generations long before there was a German state. Citizenship ought to be about believing in a set of values not some arbitrary ethnicity. And that really is something that I thought enough of Americans believed in until the rise of Trump.

lawhawk  Nov 5, 2019 • 9:36:52am

re: #167 DangerMan (misuser of the sarc tag)

NY has a very strict domicile statute and they enforce it vigorously.

They’ve used it against all sorts of folks, including famous NYers like Derek Jeter.

Put simply: if a non-domiciled person maintains a permanent place of abode in New York, and is present in New York for more than 183 days in a given year - with minor exceptions any part of a day counts - they are considered a statutory resident and therefore taxed by New York on 100% of worldwide income.

So, if Jeter’s in NY for games (that’s 82 days at a minimum), then if he’s in the state for another 101 days, then he’d be hit with the NY tax domicile rules.

He tried arguing that he wasn’t maintaining a permanent place of abode, and that Florida was his residence.

Trump can’t suddenly argue that Mar a Lago is his primary residence all these years, so it doesn’t affect the tax cases against him going back to pre-WH days.

And the excuse that high taxes are driving him out of NY rings hollow given that Trump/GOP tax scam singled out high tax states that had high property taxes by eliminating the dollar for dollar match and offset. The TCJA capped the SALT deduction at $10,000, so someone like Trump lost a huge tax break.

I’m doing legal research for a summary judgment motion I need to file and this is the first case for the search terms I used. Thought I would share.

Dellacamera v. New Haven Register, No. CV000436560, 2002 Conn. Super. LEXIS 3403 (Super. Ct. Oct. 28, 2002)

Procedural Posture
“Plaintiff individual filed an action against defendant publisher for an article that reported the arrest of the individual for breach of the peace and public indecency. The individual’s complaint alleged claims of libel, false light invasion of privacy, and negligent infliction of emotional distress. Pursuant to Conn. Gen. Prac. Book, R. Super. Ct. § 17-44 et seq., the publisher moved for summary judgment.”

Overview
“The individual argued that the article was false and defamatory in describing him as having been arrested for masturbating. The arrest warrant instead stated that the individual had been observed holding his erect penis in his hand. The publisher argued that it was entitled to judgment as a matter of law because (1) the article was entitled to the fair reporting privilege, and/or (2) the individual failed to seek a retraction pursuant to Conn. Gen. Stat. § 52-237, and could not have proved either malice or special damages. The court found that the article was privileged under the fair report doctrine because it accurately reported the basis of the individual’s arrest. The facts reported by the publisher were consistent with the definition of masturbation. Any attorneys fees to prosecute the action did not qualify as special damages as a matter of law. Also, the mere fact that the article used the term masturbation instead of a verbatim recitation of the language used in the arrest warrant could not have supported a finding of malice. Although the court’s findings were principally directed against the libel claim, they also applied to the two remaining counts of the complaint.”

Outcome
“The publisher’s motion for summary judgment was granted.”

Vice President Mike Pence and a baby who heard him speak at a rally on the Mississippi Gulf Coast on Monday have one thing in common — they share a name.

Kayla Dearman of Hattiesburg came to Biloxi with her mother, daughter and 7-month-old son to hear Pence rally for Republican Tate Reeves, who is running against Democrat Jim Hood for the Mississippi governor’s seat in the Tuesday election.

Dearman loves Pence so much that she named her baby boy after him.


The baby, Layton Pence Dearman, was all smiles Tuesday as his mom put a “Make American Great Again” hat atop his head as they waited outside at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum and Convention Center.

Wife and I went to vote in local election today. There was an older woman I’m familiar with, a right wing loon, sitting in her car, and as we pulled up she got out to greet us and another woman with her swag. “I don’t know if you’re Democrat or Republican, but this here will help you see why you should vote Republican….” and me and my wife cut here off, “Nope. Not voting Republican.” And that other woman who pulled in with us got to the door, held it for us and said, “Well I am. I hope you don’t beat me up.”
jfc.
I had about 35 things on the tip of my tongue, but all I said was “You vote as you see fit. We’ve had enough.”

Here in NC, I was the first person to vote in my municipal precinct at almost 8 a.m. The polls open at 6:30, but there are no contested races in my municipality. Nevertheless, the poll workers could not get my voter affirmation sheet to print out for nearly 10 minutes.

Also the NC Board of Elections site to look up where to vote and to get a sample ballot for your area crashed this morning when staff made a configuration error in the software in anticipation of higher search activity today. This does not bode well for 2020, especially with voter ID scheduled to kick in.
