Jonathan Pie, letting us all know how he really feels (and a good many of us feel the same as he does).
Absolutely brilliant. The world needs more people like him to call out the outrageous bullshit, and in no uncertain terms.

Did he ever apologize for this?
Declaring that the US needs a hawk in power, American film great James Caan threw his support behind Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
“It’s a pretty dangerous world,” said the 76-year-old Jewish actor, during an interview on Wednesday with reporters in Jerusalem, in the middle of his first visit to Israel.
The Academy Award nominee, best known for his role as the hot-headed Sonny Corleone in 1972’s The Godfather, explained that the US needed a change after eight years of President Barack Obama’s policies.“I was never politically oriented - in fact I called myself a radical middle-ofthe- roader. Unfortunately, with these last two terms of our current president, my children are going to be affected by his decisions, or lack of them, in a big way.
It’s a pretty dangerous world, so given the choices - which are not really wonderful - I am supporting Donald Trump in the hopes that his ego won’t get in the way, and that he’s smart enough to hire good people. We don’t know that, but we pretty much do know what Hillary will do. So if Trump listens to the people he hires and he has a great cabinet, the scale tips that way for me. We need a hawk right now.”

CORCORD, N.C. — An adult has been cited after a child brought a loaded gun to a summer camp for children ages 6 and 7, according to the Concord Police Department.Police said on Tuesday morning, a counselor at Les Myers Summer Camp was made aware that a fellow camper had a weapon inside of their lunchbox.
The staff then immediately addressed the camper, secured the weapon and called authorities.
The camper involved in this incident said they had no intention of causing harm or using the weapon to threaten campers or staff, investigators said.
However, the child will not be allowed to return back to camp, according to police.

Donald Trump removed himself from the board of his Sarasota-based social media company, records show, just weeks before the company was issued federal subpoenas by both the Securities and Exchange Commission and a grand jury in Manhattan,” the Sarasota Herald Tribune reports.
Went looking through Caan’s twitter account, and he, or whoever ran his account, liked to put up a lot of pictures of himself in roles, and put “End of Tweet” in every tweet, even if it was just a picture otherwise.

On the difficulty in getting Boris Johnson to actually resign:
Until Boris Johnson has been to see the Queen and resigned then he hasn’t resigned. Until an interim, ( actual PM, is appointed Johnson remains the PM. That means that he runs the country and can use Chequers and no 10 as he wishes.

Hate to say it, but the answer to Sarah’s question, IMO, is “probably not much”. Even given the massive (by historical standards) turnover of personnel in the Trump Administration (remember Rachel Maddow’s “wall”?) a group bail a la BoJo/Tories would probably have had a minimal effect. TFG would likely simply have insulted/derided/dismissed them all in a series of nasty tweets, the GOP would have backed him up, the RW media would have engaged in a orgy of “good riddance” BS, and the rest of the media might have dwelt on it for a day or so: until the next circus/scandal/flap/deflection popped up - as it inevitably would have.

re: #79 Dr. Matt
One thing that _far_ too many people don’t understand is that commodities are fungible in a global market. Oil prices rise and fall based on international actions, regardless of who _you_ are buying from. Not 100% because of different types of oil require different methods.
And really, it’s not American oil. It’s Russian oil, until it is sold to whomever. And it’s not being given away, certainly not being given away by Biden.
Russia is selling it at massive discounts, so they’re getting far less money than they would have from other sellers. This also keeps India and China from buying oil that would have been bought by sanctioning countries.
Which should have kept oil prices down in the USA if it weren’t for refinery bottlenecks, and price gouging companies.
And which causes less money to go into the Russian state.
When the European nations stop their gas purchases from Russia, that will hit Russia even more.
Everyone except Russia wins.
But actually, I’m wrong, we’re still losing in the long term, maybe more slowly as prices make people rethink driving plans, but sticker shock is making transitioning off fuel inefficient cars that much harder.
Everyone will _really_ win, if countries use this as an excuse to ramp up their use of carbon neutral power sources, and stop building fossil fuel plants, coal or other wise. Ramp up nuclear for a few decades, until we have a net carbon-negative economy, and bring up solar shades for a century or two until the effects.

Right you are! I corrected it. That’s what comes from trying to count over ten with your fingers!
I can see there are more pedantic replies, but I muted them because I’m done.
Oil is symbolic. It is seen as America’s lifeblood and birthright.
We measure our prosperity in how many resources we consume.
re: #83 No Malarkey!
I’ll just say that Graham kissing Trump’s ass is the inevitable consequence of Trump being more popular with S.C. GOP voters than Graham is; no blackmail needed.
That may be true, but a long while ago, a lizard posted a tweet from someone claiming that Graham was held in check because of very devastating information that Trump had on him.
This man may be a bigger current threat to Democracy than Trump:
As with everything Desantis, his constant travels around the country raising money from rich GOP donors was unannounced, no press allowed, nobody commenting, and the money keeps pouring in. Wonder what Trump thinks of him continuing to siphon off his cash? https://t.co/WfVowpfnmn

It’s long been rumored that Lindsay prefers the company of men. His never having married or had kids only fuels the speculation.
DeSantis will turn America into an oligarchy where the rich silently run things while the Theocrats keep us distracted by banning everything they consider “immoral”

re: #93 No Malarkey!
Christ, I just had three spam calls in rapid succession. A nice feature would be if phones would send spam risk calls directly to voice mail; I would pay for that instead of the “Spam Risk” identifier.
There is clearly a flaw in the “Spam Risk” routine; calls from my dentist’s office are routinely so flagged.
Sad stories behind paywall, so I copied and pasted the article.
This is what happened to the women in my family and what our daughters are losing with the downfall of Roe v. Wade.
This is a (horror) story of what was, and what will be again.
Story will be in print in the Herald-Leader on Sunday.

re: #118 Hecuba’s daughter
That may be true, but a long while ago, a lizard posted a tweet from someone claiming that Graham was held in check because of very devastating information that Trump had on him.
The rumor that’s been going around on the grapevine (and made its way to the internet) involved underage male escorts and photo/video evidence. Trump, or more likely someone from his team, managed to get his hands on that alleged evidence, showed it to him, and threatened to go public with it - which accounted for Graham’s abrupt volte-face regarding Trump.

Maybe he thinks that Republicans would turn on him if it was out there as a fact, rather than a strong suspicion.
re: #124 I Would Prefer Not To
people who know desantis from his North Florida days understand this well, and it hasn’t changed despite a concerted PR effort to convince people otherwise: he is icy, dour, has zero charisma, makes no effort to form meaningful relationships and is a wooden public speaker. https://t.co/pl6vEVDFeq

I am good friends with several swing state Republicans on Truth Social who will post that they would never vote for a RINO who rigged the primaries against President Trump.

It is looking to be the GOP base vs the GOP establishment, lines are being drawn and it will be interesting to see how people choose sides.

re: #120 Eclectic Cyborg

The speculation is that it has to be something far more devastating to a Southerner than merely being gay; that his constituents are aware that he’s gay and don’t really care. For example, a video of him with someone under the age of consent.

A Republican can’t win the presidency with just republican votes; he has to appeal to some swing and infrequent voters as well. Trump had the charisma to sell himself to them.
DeSantis platform will be that he can lead the Confederacy to victory.

Until actual evidence of that is produced, I don’t think there is any reason to think he sucks up to Trump because he’s being blackmailed. Like every other GOP politician, he sucks up to Trump because Trump is more popular with Graham’s voters than Graham is.

Trump never got a majority of votes
He just got enough of them in the right places.
Once
Correct. Trump never even matched Romney’s % of the vote in 2012 of just over 47%. But Trump appealed to white voters without college degrees, who were overrepresented in key swing states like Ws, Mi and Pa. They didn’t vote for Romney, who reminded them of their boss who downsized them.

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Timothy Loehmann, the former Cleveland police officer who shot and killed Tamir Rice, has left the small department in Pennsylvania that hired him this week.
Loehmann resigned Thursday morning, hours after media outlets reported that the borough of Tioga had hired him. Residents even protested the move at the town’s offices.
snip
Loehmann’s hiring was a surprise to many, including Mayor David Wilcox.
“I was under the impression that there was a thorough background check into him, that he didn’t have any issues,” Wilcox said Wednesday.
“I found it strange that someone would move here all the way from Cleveland, Ohio, for $18 an hour. But I heard that he wanted to get away from it all and come here to hunt and fish.”
Loehmann has tried to obtain other jobs with other police departments. He attempted to gain a part-time position in Bellaire, in eastern Ohio in 2018. He later left soon after he was hired.

As someone who had grown-ass men solicit me back in the eighties at ages 15 and 17 (while looking years younger than my chronological age), Lindsey Graham gives me serious chickenhawk vibes. It would not surprise me to find a 15-17 year old or three hidden in his closet. It would also not surprise me if Graham gave in to such urges any more or less than many other straight men with power and privilege has done throughout the ages.
Not saying he has, just that it wouldn’t surprise me based on previous life experience as a target.
Chauvin will probably die in prison; at least he is where he belongs.

Mehmet Oz is trailing in polls. A key Republican has yet to endorse him since the celebrity doctor won the GOP nomination for Pennsylvania Senate more than a month ago. And Oz has gone dark on the airwaves since May 21 — even as his Democratic rival John Fetterman burnishes his brand on TV as a political outsider, and paints Oz as a carpetbagger from New Jersey.
This is not the general election kickoff in a pivotal Senate race that Republicans were hoping for. The shaky start to Oz’s general election campaign, coming off a hard-fought primary that took a recount to resolve, is prompting finger-pointing in GOP circles. Some Republicans are arguing that Oz should do more to unite the party, reach deeper into his pockets to fund his campaign.

As opposed to providing some level of protection against the strain? Are people becoming ill because each strain is sufficiently different that there is no real protection? OTOH looking at (e.g.) France, while case numbers are certainly rising, deaths remain relatively low, nothing like the previous wave from omicron earlier this year. Let’s hope that this onslaught proves not to be as deadly as previous ones, at least partly because of the effectiveness of available therapeutics.

It’s clearly not enough protection for some people. We don’t really know what percentage of the population is vulnerable to being worn down by this disease, rather than building defenses against it.
Most people might be OK, or it could be the one that seriously thins our population. I’m not hearing about mass deaths of restaurant workers who are constantly exposed to the disease, so that’s a good sign.

Srsly: if these religious-crank assholes want to restrict their businesses “in-faith”, it ought to be their right to do so. However, it’s that “taxpayer-funded” part that’s problematic….
The courts are allowing them to prioritize their religion over their duty to place the children in their care in adoptive families. If there aren’t enough Christians willing to adopt, the kids just get stranded in foster care until they age out of the system.

So, 70% of sex trafficked children in the US were in the foster care system.
Everyone agrees Roe’s overturn will lead to more kids in foster care.

“Jonathon Pie” is a fictional character, played by actor Tom Walker, who works for the ever reliable New York Times.
Walker has done two videos for the NYT as Pie. So far as I know, he is not a full-time employee there.
I was on Geraldo’s radio show with Tucker Carlson back in 2012. Tucker was complaining about corporate donors to Obama, and I snapped back, “Tucker, if you’re really interested in eliminating corporate money from politics, work with me and we’ll do it.” He had no response. https://t.co/Q6On6ENtCR

re: #234 Crush White Nationalism
It’s clearly not enough protection for some people. We don’t really know what percentage of the population is vulnerable to being worn down by this disease, rather than building defenses against it.
Most people might be OK, or it could be the one that seriously thins our population. I’m not hearing about mass deaths of restaurant workers who are constantly exposed to the disease, so that’s a good sign.
California is at about 16,000 daily infections and 15 deaths. We are a state that’s pretty well vaccinated (with pockets of never-vaxxers, of course). Which suggests that the latest variants are still not overcoming the vaccine. I’ve read some stuff I don’t really understand, not being an immunologist, that there’s more than one type of immunity, and even if one wears off, the other continues to protect you.
Even so, vaccination numbers being good doesn’t mean that all those vaccinated people have kept up their boosters, and a lot haven’t. This might account for the numbers of new infections too.

The testimony from a witness differs from what officers say happened. Neither @kystatepolice nor the Hardin County Sheriff’s Department has body cameras. A grand jury cleared the officers of wrongdoing.

During the struggle, according to one officer, Clarke yelled out “God help me. They’re gonna kill me,” and repeatedly referenced George Floyd, a Black Minneapolis man who died in 2020 after a white officer knelt on his neck as he pleaded, “I can’t breathe.”

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — He was 5 feet, 5 inches tall, 140 pounds and unarmed, surrounded by five law enforcement officers and a K-9.
But to subdue and arrest Alejandro Clarke Jr. in Hardin County last spring, officers said they had to hit him repeatedly — with a baton, their fists, boots, knees, elbows and flashlights — tase him four times and sic a K-9 on him three times.
And while an ambulance was at the scene, officers instead put him in the back of a cruiser to take him to the hospital, leaving Clarke alone inside for about 30 minutes. He went into cardiac arrest and was later pronounced dead.
“This was the most savage beating that I’ve seen,” said attorney Garry Adams, who along with co-counsel David Ward recently filed a federal wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of Clarke’s family against Kentucky State Police and the Hardin County Sheriff’s Department and EMS.
