So — did Glenn Greenwald deliberately leak the information to the authorities so that the focus would be on the leaker rather than the contents of the leak? Perhaps he was concerned she might have even more documents on Russian activities and he wanted to suppress any further revelations.
Hubris. That’s what it turned out to be. Mrs. FBW got hit with the Flu (Influenza B), and I thought I’d be safe, because I had gotten my flu shot.
No such luck.
It hit me on Friday afternoon, peaked on Sunday, and is now ebbing mostly. BUT, I checked with the CDC website, and apparently you can transmit for up to 7 days after the onset of symptoms.
So, no way am I going to my Dad’s 99th BIrthday celebration on Sunday. Now I gotta figure out how much of a hit we take for ‘nonrefundable’ tickets.

It’s painfully obvious that the GOP is now little more than a political cult, a more successful version of the LaRouche Movement, complete with its own truths and realities, no matter how jarringly they conflict with empirical reality.
All we can do is work to minimize to damage this cult seeks to inflict in the pursuit of their fever dreams. We must vote, in every election, regardless of how seemingly inconsequential it may appear. We must reach out to the politically disengaged and apathetic and bring them to participate in the political sphere; there is no alternative save for ceding the public sphere to deranged cultists and that is impermissible.
OK…….off to work. Back later today.

By leak do you mean did Greenwald push up the publishing date and thereby burn his source by not giving her time to plan an escape? I have no way of knowing, but it doesn’t look like Winner made much effort to cover her tracks and she reportedly immediately admitted to being the source when questioned by the FBI.

Well, if we’re irresponsibly speculating here:
Glenn is a libertarian. All he cares about is money - he makes money when his Website is referenced or viewed.
Assume for the sake of argument he found this woman (or she found him) and he offered her a bunch of money if she could steal one or more documents and transmit them to him. She does that, he run the document on his Website, then throws her under the bus so he doesn’t have to pay her.

Things that make me laugh… Trump may be responsible for retiring Jeff Sessions.
Few Republicans were quicker to embrace President Trump’s campaign last year than Jeff Sessions, and his reward was one of the most prestigious jobs in America. But more than four months into his presidency, Mr. Trump has grown sour on Mr. Sessions, now his attorney general, blaming him for various troubles that have plagued the White House.

Josh Marshall cited a nj.com article. So I went and looked.
All the article is is photographs inside the Trump National Golf Course.
The article provides no evidence that the plaque contains true information (or Trump did not simply give himself that award). Mr. Marshall only cites that photograph-only article with no further information.
Therefore, despite Mr. Marshall’s stature, I reserve judgement.

Sessions should have been seen as the Robert Bork of the Trump administration. Bork was too racist for the Reagan administration.
I’m thinking Bork as in “Saturday Night Massacre,” as the only reason I could see Trump firing Sessions would be to get somebody in there who will fire Mueller and “make it go away.”

Except the article is click-bait. Federal aviation regulations prohibit flying at supersonic speeds over land (that is true in most nations). Thus the supersonic capabilities of such an aircraft would be used flying to Europe or Asia. Between cities in the USA, too expensive to fly this sort of plane.

John Marshall referenced a photograph in an article with nothing but photographs. There is no evidence in the nj.com article that the plaque is anything.
Is Mr. Marshall a credible reporter? Sure, better than many. But a photograph of a plaque saying “it’s true” referencing an article with nothing but photographs is not evidence its true. (As I noted, the plaque Trump has at one of his properties of a fictional Civil War battle.)
Now if Mr. Marshall had contacted nj.com and asked for additional details, or if nj.com had published them in their own article, that would be a different matter.
This is not a case of pedantry or me defending Trump. This is me asking for evidence of “show me this award exists.” No evidence was provided except a photograph of a plaque on the property of a known liar.

Knowing the kind of guy Trump is, it’s not hard to imagine that he, as the owner of the club, would end up being the champ several years in a row. That’s why he’s so pissed now, because he can’t always win, even if he is president. You can tell from all his tweets that he childishly expected everyone to fall in line to his whims once he was elected. Donnie’s pea-sized brain and galaxy-sized ego cannot deal with being told “no.”

I suspect that Comey won’t do more than confirm the contents of his memos, perhaps provide a few more details. Nothing earth-shattering, but it will leave the GOP in a very uncomfortable spot because their defense against his memos up to this point has been “They don’t exist or we would have seen them by now!”

Drama — it’s great for ratings!
Like I said the other night when it was announced that Comey would be testifying about the memos, the GOP’s entire focus Thursday is going to be on the same two topics: “unmasking” and “leaks.” They’re also going to be making every effort they can to discredit Comey’s testimony by portraying him as “vindictive” or “incompetent.”

Hmph…Palin did not get a job in this regime yet…I’ll be damned. Well I guess other than being a bigot prop in photoshoots to disrespect the executive, the oval and the previous trajectory of THE first world country.
There is little more I can write about Trump and our nation that others have not already lamented many times over.
But again, I want to emphasize that Trump is more a symptom than a cause. (There is a feedback loop, of course.)
Trump is the result of an uncomfortably-large segment of our society feeling angry about the world passing them by, about time moving on, and them being left behind.
And it’s not about jobs. In some places it is about jobs, but the problem is much deeper than that.
Our modern society bombards us with stimuli, mostly to buy, buy, and buy some more, but also about self-image and the meaning of life.

Are cabs going the way of the buggy whip?
More than 2,900 of Chicago’s nearly 7,000 licensed taxis were inactive in March 2017 — meaning they had not picked up a fare in a month, according to the Cab Drivers United/AFSCME Local 2500 report. The average monthly income per active medallion — the permit that gives cabbies the exclusive right to pick up passengers who hail them on the street — has dipped from $5,276 in January 2014 to $3,206 this year.
The number of riders in Chicago hailing cabs has also plummeted during that same period from 2.3 million monthly riders to about 1.1 million.
Declining ridership for Chicago’s taxi industry comes as foreclosures are piling up for taxi medallion owners who aren’t generating enough fares to keep up with their loan payments and meet their expenses.
More than 350 foreclosure notices or foreclosure lawsuits have been initiated against medallion owners already this year, compared to 266 last year and 59 in 2015. Since October, lenders have filed lawsuits against at least 107 medallion owners who have fallen behind on loan payments, according to the union’s count.

There is nothing in the Constitution to allow for election nullification.
Mike Pence would become President if Donald Trump was removed by impeachment (the only way to eject him from office other than resignation).
If Mr. Pence was also shown to benefit from election meddling, he could also be removed by impeachment (bringing up Paul Ryan as next-in-line).
If Mr. Ryan was also impeached, that would bring up Senator Orrin Hatch as next-in-line.

See out his term, quietly and with little fuss.
Resign, but look weak and losery to his base. Could be doable though
Bad Impeachment, impeachedt because of Russian involvement
I think he is trying for a new option, Good Impeachment (in his eyes) where he can make the narrative that the establishment impeached him because he was trying to do what he said he would. Has the right twang of victimhood for him and his base, but also allows him to stay in the public eye. It wasn´t his fault, he fought for you etc etc etc.
To me and my armchair psychology this would seem to be the one that fits what me know of him.

There is nothing in the Constitution to allow for election nullification.
Mike Pence would become President if Donald Trump was removed by impeachment (the only way to eject him from office other than resignation).
If Mr. Pence was also shown to benefit from election meddling, he could also be removed by impeachment (bringing up Paul Ryan as next-in-line).
If Mr. Ryan was also impeached, that would bring up Senator Orrin Hatch as next-in-line.
Except Ryan can’t be impeached. But Lyin’ Ryan can be removed as Speaker if a majority in The Best Little Whorehouse in DC votes his sorry sleazy ass out. But they won’t.

Thousands of Pennsylvania voters were disenfranchised in the November elections due to administrative delays, according to a new report from Keystone Votes—an alliance of non-profit organizations with the stated goal of modernizing the state’s election system.
The group found that as many as 26,000 Pennsylvania residents who had submitted voter registration applications on time may have been unable to vote or may have seen their ballot discounted as a result of their applications either being lost or processed too late. Most of those voters were in Philadelphia.
“That number could increase if the Department of State or other agencies investigate further,” the report states.
President Donald Trump won Pennsylvania in November by a margin of nearly 67,500 votes.

The incident marks the third stabbing in six years for Wade.

Then in August of 2013, Wade fatally stabbed 49-year-old Kann Cendejas, a homeless veteran, at a Chevron gas station in the 3200 block of Delta Fair Boulevard in Antioch.

ISLAMABAD: Religious scholars from all schools of thought on Saturday issued a fatwa (religious decree) that declared suicide attacks, armed insurgency against a state and use of force in the name of imposing Shariah as ‘Haram’ or forbidden in Islam.
The fatwa carrying signatures of 31 noted scholars was released at a seminar “‘Reconstruction of Pakistani society in the light of ‘Mithaq-e-Madina’ (Charter of Madina) and announcement of ‘Paigham-e-Pakistan’ (Message of Pakistan). The event was organised by the Islamic Research Institute of the International Islamic University Islamabad.
The unanimous declaration was presented by Professor Masoom Yasinzai while Mufti Rafi Usmani read out the fatwa. The religious edict condemned terrorism and extremism and declared suicide attackers and their supporters as traitors. It also declared Jihad a jurisdiction of Islamic state and disallowed use of force in name of enforcement of Islamic laws.

Bob Dylan’s Nobel speech
[Embedded content]
But I had something else as well. I had principals and sensibilities and an informed view of the world. And I had had that for a while. Learned it all in grammar school. Don Quixote, Ivanhoe, Robinson Crusoe, Gulliver’s Travels, Tale of Two Cities, all the rest - typical grammar school reading that gave you a way of looking at life, an understanding of human nature, and a standard to measure things by. I took all that with me when I started composing lyrics. And the themes from those books worked their way into many of my songs, either knowingly or unintentionally. I wanted to write songs unlike anything anybody ever heard, and these themes were fundamental.
Specific books that have stuck with me ever since I read them way back in grammar school - I want to tell you about three of them: Moby Dick, All Quiet on the Western Front and The Odyssey.

Another Trump fail - just like the Big Arms Deal That Wasn’t, the much-hyped ‘War Room’ fell apart in the planning stages.
As Washington gears up for one of its biggest political events in years — former FBI director James Comey appearing publicly on Capitol Hill — it’s not a stretch to imagine the White House scrambling behind the scenes to set up a crisis-management system to contain fallout from any damaging testimony Thursday.
Instead, multiple people familiar with the planning describe to a different reality: early talk of a “war room” has petered out significantly. One source close to the White House describes it flatly: “There’s no war room. Zero.” Another administration source says it simply “never took off.”
As venal as this little cult is, we’d be a lot more screwed if they were just a little bit competent.

Report: Top Law Firms Don’t Want To Defend Trump On Russia Probe
Before hiring veteran New York attorney Marc Kasowitz to defend President Donald Trump as the federal investigations into his campaign and administration heat up, the White House knocked on the doors of D.C.’s top tier law firms, only to be turned away.
A new report by Yahoo News lists both the prominent attorneys who have turned down the offer to represent the leader of the free world and their reasons for doing so.
Sources told Yahoo News that the prestigious D.C. lawyers—among them Brendan Sullivan of Williams & Connolly; Ted Olson of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher; Paul Clement and Mark Filip of Kirkland & Ellis; and Robert Giuffra of Sullivan & Cromwell—fear taking on the president as a client would hurt their firms’ reputations and threaten their ability to recruit clients in the future. “Do I want to be associated with this president and his policies?” one said.
They also expressed concern that “the guy won’t pay and he won’t listen,” referring to the President’s habits of rejecting the advise of his attorneys and advisers and going rogue on a whim, and of dragging his feet on paying legal bills.

Several former White House attorneys told TPM that they too see the current president as a particularly problematic client.
“He deserves representation. Everybody does. But if I got the telephone call, the answer would be no,” said Lanny Davis, the White House special counsel in charge of political and legal controversies during Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial. “There are people who say, ‘Davis, you’d represent anyone.” But the answer is no, I would not.”
Since leaving the White House, Davis’ list of controversial clients include the dictators of Ecuatorial Guinea and the Ivory Coast, and Penn State, which he advised on rebuilding its image after its child molestation scandal.

The reason the other members of the GCC are upset with Qatar can mainly be attributed to Al Jazeera, an admittedly flawed media outlet that nonetheless shines one of the few rays of light on the corruption of the other Gulf States. Everything Qatar is accused of doing the Saudi, Kuwaiti & UAE govts, and especially the more radical members of their societies, have been doing for years while their governments largely turned a blind eye. Funding and in many cases participating in terrorism abroad was viewed as a semi acceptable outlet and pressure relief valve for domestic angst. As long as people kept their noses clean at home the Gulf States were willing to put up with all kinds of external fuckery.

Thanks! I am more encouraged today than I was a couple of days ago. The Henan, China, job looks like safe bet, if I were in a pinch. I’m going to talk to the other foreigners there first, though.
A private school south of here offered me a job if I would agree to work with a tourist visa. I declined. For one thing, it’s illegal and they know it. For another, it would require quarterly visa runs to Hong Kong or Macau (or wherever), which doesn’t really appeal to me. OTOH, the pay is better than what i get now.
I still think I will decline the offer.

I, like probably more than a couple other of people, had it in my head that a person had to pass background checks and other vetting to become President. I guess not.
And would it make me an evil commiesocialistmarxistmaoist if we could somehow insist that anyone running for any elected office be able to pass a history, civics and basic science exam? I’d actually like to see that sort of thing incorporated into debates. I mean, if I have to submit to all kinds of screenings to get a fucking part time minimum wage job, then shouldn’t someone running for office have to do at least that much?

When compared to the casualty rate and response time for one shooter at the Orlando nightclub.
Here in Sweden, the procedure during a mass casualty attack is not waiting for backup or SWAT, but to, if at all possible, engage the threat.
The procedure came to be by analyzing mass casualty attacks in, among other places, the United States, and figuring out what is most likely to cause casualties. Giving the perp time is one of the factors, so it is denied with extreme prejudice.
Several people nearly got shot during the 4/7 truck attack when they refused to obey law enforcement orders.

This reminds me of something I saw: apparently, Trump wasn’t sure that the church he nominally belongs to is Christian:
Two days before his presidential inauguration, Donald Trump greeted a pair of visitors at his office in Trump Tower.
As a swarm of reporters waited in the gilded lobby, the Rev. Patrick O’Connor, the senior pastor at the First Presbyterian Church in Queens, and the Rev. Scott Black Johnston, the senior pastor of Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, arrived to pray with the next president.
[…]
“I did very, very well with evangelicals in the polls,” Trump interjected in the middle of the conversation — previously unreported comments that were described to me by both pastors.They gently reminded Trump that neither of them was an evangelical.
“Well, what are you then?” Trump asked.
They explained they were mainline Protestants, the same Christian tradition in which Trump, a self-described Presbyterian, was raised and claims membership. Like many mainline pastors, they told the President-elect, they lead diverse congregations.
Trump nodded along, then posed another question to the two men: “But you’re all Christians?”
