Let’s start with the branding first. The GOP misleadingly refers to it as the “Common Cause map.” This is flatly false. The map was actually developed by a group of retired judges. I’ll be referring to it as the Judges’ Map from this point on. 2/8

The “argument” they’re attempting to make is if the Libertarians hadn’t run a spoiler candidate in obvious defiance of Bevin’s decision to dump his old Lt. Gov and appoint a McConnell-approved replacement, then those votes would have gone to Bevin and thus he would have won. They’ve no factual basis to go on, but that’s not really the point, they’re just trying to come up with something that will stand up long enough for public outrage to die down.

Observations of the Taylor testimony so far:

GOPers are bitching about the process, and intent on wasting as much time as possible so that the witness can’t actually answer questions. Democrats try to put that to an end.

Taylor outlines just how Trumpworld sought to have an irregular channel outside the State Department interact and push Trump’s agenda, sidelining and confusing the foreign policy of the US re: Ukraine.

What bullshit! Trump would take censure as “I got away with this, too!” and just as he did when the Mueller investigation ended without indicting him, he’ll double down on the corruption.

Normal human response to almost getting caught, or narrowly avoiding punishment is to avoid doing that again, because next time you might not be as lucky. Trump’s response is to go bigger.

Previous thread referenced a similar “contested election” in Kentucky back in 1899. William Goebel, who lost the popular vote, “won” the legislature vote. Some people were less than pleased with this decision and unfortunately for him, he was shot the day before he was sworn in and died a month later.

I don’t really think that the legislature would overturn the results this way — but discovering additional Bevin votes and claiming victory is totally within their bag of tricks. Kentucky is getting redder and they may be able to get away with thwarting the popular vote.

On a more serious note, that post is a pretty good distillation of what third parties do in the American system. They serve more often to move the major parties in one way or another, usually on a narrow range of issues, then they actually do in deciding an election or even winning.

re: #75 Backwoods_Sleuth

checking the vote totals as opposed to actually recounting votes

I’m pretty sure that one of those “irregularities” Bevin is talking about is the typo in the ~~Kentucky~~ Kenton County vote totals last night, which initially indicate he had 1,000 more votes than he actually did.
The Kenton County Clerk (a Republican, IIRC) fairly quickly pointed out the typo and corrected it, making Beshear the winner in the county by some 400-500 votes, instead of Bevin.

So, the intent of a recanvass is to make sure the vote totals in each county are correct.

edited to correct a typo…:D

On a more serious note, that post is a pretty good distillation of what third parties do in the American system. They serve more often to move the major parties in one way or another, usually on a narrow range of issues, then they actually do in deciding an election or even winning.

I’m curious where Besher is on a lot of those issues that the Libertarian Party raised in its post

He supports casino gambling. His dad ran on that issue when he won his governor’s race, but the legislature would never approve it. The Southern Baptists are adamantly opposed, and they have a lot of influence.

A couple weeks ago, it took about twice as long for me to get from LaGuardia to Manhattan as to get from O’Hare to LaGuardia, but that was because I took a shuttle which kept on returning to the airport to pick up more passengers; in any case traffic around the airport was a nightmare; never experienced problems like that at O’Hare.

LGA is a mess, mostly because they still have to rebuild 3/4 of the airport terminals and front-end spaces. The loop road is a mess, and the only way on and off the airport is really by car. Buses aren’t that great, and there’s years before they’ll have an airtrain in place. I greatly prefer flying out of JFK or EWR, depending on the destination.

Many of the people on the inside think they need one, even if they are bickering among themselves.”
Another option is to have the media war room run through the Republican National Committee, said a person familiar with the White House discussions spearheaded by Kushner and Mulvaney.”

As for the Libertarian spoiler, if Stivers wants to go down the road that they would have voted for Bevin if he had kept Jenean Hampton on the ticket as his LtGov (BTW, she was a Libertarian carpetbagger from Detroit and he used her in the last election to pander to the non-white male vote) they would have voted for him.

Guess what, Stivers? He kicked her to the curb and replaced her with a generic white guy in the 11th hour. THAT’S WHY THE LIBERTARIANS DIDN’T VOTE FOR HIM THIS TIME AROUND.

Good fucking grief, republicans are stupid

Taking health care from people and attacking teachers is not usually a winning strategy. He also unabashedly tied his wagon to Trumps.

A jurist with qualifications is a jurist who might decide they have principles, or that the larger law of the land matters…and if they chose to make a stand against the people that put them in place, they’d have the law on their side.

Hacks, though, are simply uninterested in the law except as a means to obtain their ends, so they’re reliable…and even if they do get the notion to wander off on their own, they’ve got no institutional backup. They’re only there because of loyalty.

I mean, this is why dictators end up creating whole government institutions filled with quacks, idiots, and brutes: loyalty to the central cadre and its priorities (which might change over time, and may not be consistent from case to case, and thus not necessarily reflecting any ideology) is the only way to maintain power. Anything that suggests an external standard of how to wield power is a threat.

The law does not permit them to transform US society in the ways they want…both in terms of opening venues for greater corruption, but also in using state power to social engineer in accordance with “evangelical” Christian priorities…some they’re going to change referees until they can do what they want.

Warren Court postdates FDR and HST. We’re talking 36 years imo that also includes Ike, JFK, & LBJ. The New Deal consensus unfortunately imo only worked since enough whites realized they needed a government that invested in its citizenry because the New Deal and Fair Deal for the most part did not address racism though it did get the wheels started more than TR’s Square Deal and certainly Wilson’s New Freedom. To me the most ambitious was LBJ with his Great Society. If this new left turn inspires anything, I hope it’s a new look at his presidency.

But I do find it strange that so many tweets on this are from people who think it is weird for fathers to try to manage their daughters.

It’s as if these folk (mostly young) don’t seem to know that this type of patriarchal power was/is typical in the world.

Also, seeing lots of folk tweeting stupid things, such as fathers shouldn’t be interested in their daughter’s sexuality. Well, in the case of TI, his daughter is an adult so yes it seems to me quite out of place. But if I had say a 10 yo. daughter (or son) who was hanging around other kids, I sure as heck would want to know what she (or he) is doing around her friends, etc.

The thing is though, especially at the trial court level, there is nothing closer to a fiefdom in American life like that of a district court judge’s courtroom. Even at the appellate level, it doesn’t do much if they’re always on a panel with two competent judges because it’ll be the competent judges writing the opinion with or without the hack.

Plus it makes more sense to have someone that can actually write compelling opinions and arguments (even in dissent) that can move the needle. And we’ve yet to see anything like that from these Trump appointees just yet.

I love those videos! Last year for Christmas I bought my son the book Trouble Boys. I think I may read it over Christmas break this year. (I also got him How Music Works by David Byrne; it’s the first book he’s reading slowly—he carries it around but still hasn’t finished it.)

Al pastor is Mexican shwarma.

Literally. A vertical spit loaded with marinated meat, rotated while carving off crisped exterior was carried from Lebanon to Mexico, and over time the ingredients changed until it was pork marinated in a wet annatto-heavy spice mix instead of lamb in a drier, herby mix, corn flatbread instead of wheat, salsa instead of toum, et cetera.

They affix a trimmed cylinder of pineapple at the top of the trompo (loaded spit), and skilled chefs learn to cut thin slices of the pork into a small tortilla, then cut a slice of pineapple with a knife-flick such that the sliver lands in the taco held in their off hand.

Now that’s actually pretty interesting -> Barr has limits. Even if they’re just rooted in cynical pragmatism and an accurate assessment that his word / reputation as a neutral arbiter is now nearly worthless. He understands that the most efficacious way for him to protect Trump is from the shadows instead of the public spectacle of a podium appearance. That’s why he roped in Durham for his attempted hit job on the intel community, as a way of laundering any dirt they manage to whip up.

Trump, being a tantrum prone fucking infant, just wants fealty and instant gratification.

Elizabeth Warren’s aggressive plans to level the playing field for the American economy are drawing heavy fire from billionaires, even ones who acknowledge the system needs to be fixed https://t.co/WCt04LU64N

Jamie Dimon realizes that this is only going to help Warren, right? https://t.co/cBeUbE8oYI

— Julia Ioffe (@juliaioffe) November 6, 2019

… Hedge fund managers warn that if Warren is elected, the stock market will tank. Wall Street Democrat Steven Rattner insists that “a Warren presidency is a terrifying prospect,” lamenting Warren’s targeting of “Many of America’s global champions, like banks and tech giants,” not to mention the effects her policies would have on “Private equity, which plays a useful role in driving business efficiency.” Horrors!

Meanwhile, billionaire investor Leon Cooperman told Politico, “I believe in a progressive income tax and the rich paying more. But this is the f—ing American dream she is sh—ing on.”

As Anand Giridharadas notes, when plutocrats push back on proposals to increase their taxes, they never say what really motivates them, which is simply that they don’t want to pay higher taxes. Instead, the argument is always about how, if we tax them more, then we will only be depriving ourselves of the fruits of their beneficence….

But it’s clear in the venomous reactions Warren produces from the plutocrat class that they want not only to be able to be taxed and regulated as lightly as possible, they want to be told they deserve every bit of wealth and power they have.

Warren does not offer that reassurance; quite the opposite. She says that the system has been shaped by the wealthy to advance their own interests, and if you’re one of them, you have an obligation to contribute more. And she’s happy to mock or insult the billionaire class along the way…

I am back home after my L5-S1 fusion, and I can tell the difference already! Had a good surgery. It was long. Had a great nurse my first night. She was from my home town in Southern Illinois (Mt Vernon) and we reminisced as I came and went. She even said she remembered the local doc I was named for. After several days, the hospital wanted me to go to a rehab center, but I managed to hold on for 5 days, and then came straight home. Since I live alone, they were touchy about it, but it has worked great. I sleep MUCH better here, and it is great to get all my meds back on schedule.

So I am a bit taller, and feel like my proprioception of my feet and legs is much better. Who knows, I may get to dance a bit this winter!

The world’s most expensive free lawyer strikes again.

This tweet by itself establishes that @realDonaldTrump committed an impeachable offense. To say that Giuliani’s and Trump’s pursuit of “Ukrainian … corruption” was “done solely” to protect Trump’s interests establishes that Trump was not acting for the country. https://t.co/BE8VopaNAr

Hmmm. Kay Ivey, Republican governor of AL, has no plans to attend the LSU game.

1. Exclusive: I’ve obtained passages from the book by ‘Anonymous’, the author of the NYT Op-ed

In the book, Anonymous claims that senior officials had no doubt that Pence would support invoking the 25th amendment if the majority of the cabinet agreed. https://t.co/MoTiIaQnuM

Very cool… is that video online?

Yep. It’s a bit 80’s-ish and angst-y, but there are some pretty good songs (the first one isn’t one of them). I still like about half of the songs a lot, but it’s hard to listen to now without wanting a do-over on my own playing.

Fine Art - live at the 7th Street Entry (1981)

My second favorite song is at 16:36. The best song we did isn’t on the video because it was part of the encore. I was really bummed out when I found out that it’s not on the video.

That looks and sounds very very 1981 (that’s a good thing)

Always wanted to be a musician, but I played the drums.

Good friend of mine is a left handed drummer. He performs at chemistry conferences with a second right handed drummer. The band is called Al de Hyde and the key-tones, with the enantiomers.
