Hypoxic pilot refuses to wear a mask
C-17 copilot and staunch conspiracy theorist Air Force 1st Lt. Kyle Korrigan received harsh criticism and a nap yesterday after refusing to wear a mask, according to sources. An unexpected depressurization at 37,000 feet knocked the pilot out, leaving the copilot claiming that supplemental oxygen is part of a “liberal agenda.”
*snip*
Korrigan is expected to make a full recovery but is currently dealing with a severe headache. Investigators say the headache is likely not a result of low oxygen levels, however. Instead, it resulted from the pilot hitting his head during emergency descent, since Korrigan also doesn’t wear seatbelts.
Danny boy gets his ass handed to him….
And what is the basis of this case? This: Authorities other than state legislatures unilaterally made sweeping changes to election law and therefore diminished integrity and faith in the system.

For the past few days, I’ve been obsessed with Puppy for Hanukkah.
1. Daveed Diggs is awesome.
2. Those kids in the video are adorable.
3. PUPPY!!!!!!
My obsession led me to a reaction video by one of the kids in the video (the one sitting at the table at the start of the video).
In his reaction commentary, he talks about his puffy hair. He said he didn’t realize how puffy it was until he saw the video. At one point, he says, “I look like Bob Ross.” That this kid knows about Bob Ross is my everything.
Here’s the reaction video in case anyone want to check it out.
So how will you react when PA AG Josh Shapiro files a lawsuit demanding the PA Supreme Court redraw gerrymandered Congressional districts in Texas?

Two things that might impede these Patriots’ cruising plan—(it’s supposed to be on the Norwegian Joy)
1. Norwegian Cruise Lines is looking at whether it can require passengers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 before allowing them on a cruise ship. (we know these morons would object to that)
2. Norwegian might not even be sailing. Norwegian Cruise Lines voyages are currently canceled until March, and Del Rio says there’s a good chance further delays will be announced.
Can’t find anything about how Bermuda feels about the whole thing, but having spent much time on that island, I don’t believe these morons would be particularly welcomed there.

GOP candidate who pushed QAnon conspiracy theory gets arrested for child pornography

Gibson, who was an active Airman at Barksdale Air Force Base, was a challenger in a four-way race for the U.S. House Dist. 4 Congressional seat and lost to Rep. Mike Johnson, who won re-election. Jared Kutz, 30, of Bossier City was also arrested as a result of the investigation and charged with two counts of pornography.

So we took her in until she gave birth and the kittens were old enough to fend for themselves. We decided to adopt our little Bunny from that litter.
She got the name Bunny when she and her brothers and sisters were starting to get used to their feet and trying to run. All the other kittens pretty much ran like any other kittens, but Bunny hopped. It was funny as hell, wife said it reminded her of a rabbit hopping. Hence the name Bunny.

I don’t understand why a cruise line would book an event with a boatload of people who believe that safety rules area a plot against them. 110% chance it will be a super-spreader. The staff will be in danger of disease and physical threats if they try to enforce safety.
You haven’t done much cruising, have you. Failure to obey the Captain’s orders — whatever they are — will get you put off the ship at the next port. Violates your rights, eh? Take another look at the contract you signed when you bought the cruise.
That said, I have my doubts whether there’ll be any cruising in April. A few lines ran cruises in Europe in the summer, but there weren’t many cases in Europe as there are here. Seadream had twenty cruises from European ports without problems, then their first Caribbean cruise had to be interrupted because of a covid outbreak onboard.

while we’re waiting for SCOTUS, could the court actually decree that the four states votes must be thrown out and its electors replaced, given that they haven’t agreed yet to hear the case? I assume they would have to agree to hear the case first, necessitating a long period of arguments which at this point would put us well beyond the EC voting on Monday..
I mean what can the SCOTUS actually say at this point? That the Texas claims have merit but that it’s too late to do anything about them or hear the case (which sounds to me like the worst of possible worlds). Is Texas even asking for a specific form of relief or just venting?

re: #59 Eric The Fruit Bat
Since Trump broke norms as to how a president behaves and functions, this gives the Dems a full license to do everything Trump pulled and to push further - problem is that Biden won’t have the stones to do so, given that he’s going to be left with the shitstorms caused by Trump’s feckless behavior. And should some GOPers actually get indicted, you’ll hear the banshee scream from the right of ‘criminalization of politics’.
Actually, it gives the dems — and only the dems — the right to criticize. Repugs can STFD and STFU for about the next ten years (they won’t, of course).

They’re demanding that the USSC void the vote totals in the four states and turn the selection of electors to the state legislatures (i.e. Repubs in those legislatures), which is actually a total contradiction of the supposed reason why they need such relief as doing so would be in contradiction to the laws of those states regarding the selection of electors.

It is possible that the Court could read the briefs and decide, based on the merits, that they don’t need further argument and they can legislate from the bench. They are far more likely to do one of two things:
1) Agree to hear the case, with an expedited schedule for hearing argument;
2) Toss the whole thing out on procedural grounds, the same way they did the PA case and the same way everything else has met its fate.

I’m digging everyone’s pet rescue stories.
Teddy is a bit of a rescue. I saved him from my asshole sister-in-law who psychologically abused him for doing normal dog stuff. She bought into that whole pack-mentality theory and tried to be the alpha dog (I guess).
My dog growing up - Gidget - was a true rescue. The kids wanted a dog. My mom saw an ad in the paper and sent my dad to check it out. She thought the dog would have been rehomed and that would satisfy the kids without having to get a dog. When my dad came home with the dog, he told my mom that he couldn’t leave the dog. All her life she was terrified of brooms.
Gidget was basically my dog from third grad through my first month of college. The first time I came home from college, she had passed the day before. I was heartbroken (click through for a pic).

I have to repeat this every so often. Conservatism is not an ideology. Liberalism is an ideology. Conservatism is actually a subset of liberalism. I don’t mean modern liberalism.

Burke absolutely despised the baseball-cap wearing, redneck equivalents that existed in Britain in his time. He would have viewed these people as tenants with no voting rights and no actual say in matters of state or politics. And yet modern conservatives have convinced themselves that their movement traces itself back to him, when in reality, modern conservatism traces itself back to Elmer Gantry and the Music Man.

“…A simple five-page per curiam opinion genuinely could end up in the pantheon of all-time most significant rulings in American history. Every once in a long while, the court needs to invest some of its accumulated capital in issuing judgments that are not only legally right but also respond to imminent, tangible threats to the nation. That is particularly appropriate when, as here, the court finds itself being used as a tool to actively undermine faith in our democratic institutions — including by the members of the court’s bar on whom the justices depend to act much more responsibly.
In a time that is so very deeply polarized, I cannot think of a person, group or institution other than the Supreme Court that could do better for the country right now. Supporters of the president who have been gaslighted into believing that there has been a multi-state conspiracy to steal the election recognize that the court is not a liberal institution. If the court will tell the truth, the country will listen.”

One of the major players that hasn’t gotten much notice in the GOP’s coup attempt is the Thomas More Society, the fanatical religious right “culture war” legal group. They’re involved at every level, right up to the White House.

IIRC, the frivolous Texas case is asking that the state legislatures in the state they are suing be allowed to directly appoint the electors. That’s a bid to steal the election for Trump, since these are all GOP state legislatures.

“… Ironically, this Court has the authority to direct that the filing fee be refunded in circumstances when an inadvertent error of this sort is made. See Rodgers v. Pennsylvania State Police, No. 20-1574 (November 13, 2020) (directing refund of filing fee when plaintiff inadvertently filed with the Court of Federal Claims a civil rights complaint whose caption indicated that it was intended for the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania). But Plaintiffs have not requested a refund on the basis of human error. Instead, they have sought to shift blame to some unspecified but allegedly “not uncommon error” in the electronic filing system. The Court is not inclined to direct a refund of the filing fee where, as here, Plaintiffs’ counsel is either incapable of clearly articulating why the Court should do so, or worse, deliberately being less than straightforward with the Court. …”

My understanding re: Wisconsin is this is the case that they tried to file directly to the WI SC, and the justices said, “No thanks, take this through the circuit court like any normal case.” They did so, it got bench-slapped into oblivion as per usual, but now there is an agreement of fact that the court can use to actually decide the case. So now we are here again, with the WI SC being charged with determining if the circuit court’s rejection was improper. (Spoilers: They won’t.)
