scroll to question starting with
“Q: A state is in a particular time zone because of state law, yes?”
(yeah, someone really asked this)
the two takeaways:
- stop reading silly clickbait op-eds, and stop worrying so much.
- He’s got to win the election. That’s his only option. He might try to cheat to do it (say, encouraging more Russian interference), but that’s very different than stealing an election after the fact.

President Trump has said he learned lessons from President Richard M. Nixon’s fall from grace, but in using the power of his office to keep his friend and adviser Roger J. Stone Jr. out of prison he has now crossed a line that even Mr. Nixon in the depths of Watergate dared not cross,” the New York Times reports.
“For months, some of Mr. Trump’s senior White House advisers warned him that it would be politically self-destructive if not ethically inappropriate to use his clemency power to help Mr. Stone, who was convicted of lying to protect the president. But in casting aside their counsel on Friday, Mr. Trump indulged his own sense of grievance over precedent and restraint to reward an ally for his silence.

Roger Stone goes home with a huge smile on his face (which was plastered all over the media for Trump to feel envious about), while Trump is still stuck with all of ‘his’ problems and will still have to worry about how Roger Stone knows almost everything about all his corruption. Will Stone stay quiet? Trump doesn’t really get a thing out of this except the risk of future blackmail or exposure if Stone gets unhappy, and Stone is probably too smart to stand near windows.

Trump is clearly willing to live with the political downsides, but he’s got at least two problems here that a pardon* does not erase (in fact, it probably exacerbates them). The first, as we pointed out yesterday, is that this could expose Trump to conspiracy and/or obstruction of justice charges, depending on what is happening here, and whether or not it is ongoing. The second is that Stone no longer has Fifth Amendment rights against self incrimination. That won’t matter for the next five months, since he has presidential protection. But if Trump is defeated in November, there may be a whole bunch of people who want to chat with Stone, including members of Congress, federal judges, and possibly even state-level authorities in New York. If Stone ignores subpoenas, or if he refuses to testify, then he would be right back where he started: Go directly to jail, do not pass Go, do not collect $200.
Maybe, if it comes to that, Stone will take the bullet for Trump, and will spend a few years as a guest of Club Fed. But given how hard he fought back against going to prison this time, that is hard to believe. In any event, once again, the President has purchased some short-term gain at the possible cost of long-term pain. (Z)

From CNN
Madrid (CNN)Spain’s large-scale study on the coronavirus indicates just 5% of its population has developed antibodies, strengthening evidence that a so-called herd immunity to Covid-19 is “unachievable,” the medical journal the Lancet reported on Monday.
The findings show that 95% of Spain’s population remains susceptible to the virus. Herd immunity is achieved when enough of a population has become infected with a virus or bacteria — or vaccinated against it — to stop its circulation.
The European Center for Disease Control told CNN that Spain’s research, on a nationwide representative sample of more than 61,000 participants, appears to be the largest study to date among a dozen serological studies on the coronavirus undertaken by European nations.
“In light of these findings, any proposed approach to achieve herd immunity through natural infection is not only highly unethical, but also unachievable,” said the Lancet’s commentary authors,

Mrs. Fish and the kids love hummus. I won’t touch that stuff with a 10-foot baguette.
I said falafel, not hummus (won’t generally order a plate that has hummus on it, much less eat it).

Apparently, it was a labor of love.
The audio book will be read by Guilfoyle, … Trump said she helped with the book: “That’s how we came up with the idea for her to do the audio book. We would take turns reading the chapters out loud for flow. … Love in a time of COVID.”

Jill Lawrence: “The longer the Trump presidency wears on, the more it reminds me of the joke about the man caught in a flood, turning down rides from a rowboat, a motorboat and a helicopter because he was waiting for God to save him. When he drowned, went to heaven and asked God why he’d let that happen, God replied: ‘I sent two boats and a helicopter, what more did you expect?’”
“We have been handed enough evidence of corruption, incompetence, wrongdoing and amorality for dozens of lawsuits and impeachment articles and 25th Amendment triggers. What more did we expect?”
“It’s not God asking that in today’s version of the joke. It’s a bunch of very crestfallen Founding Fathers.”

Well, there is one positive aspect to the righties’ newfound affection for Goya products: since it’s likely that few/any of them have the least fucking notion of Latin-American food sensibilities, their “own the libs” Goya buys are probably going to end up at the same food banks said libs are using to dump their supplies of Goya beans, etc. So the food-needy may end up benefiting after all.
And apropos of previous discussions here, didn’t Goya announce that THEY were donating a million cans of garbanzos?
(IOW, their obviously least-selling bean??)
