With a national conversation underway about the possibility of impeachment, John Oliver discusses whether the benefits outweigh the potential risks.
Later can’t mean never.
Trump gets away with abrogating the rule of law until someone stands up to him. Impeachment might not work out as you hope it will, but it’s still worth doing. No one is above the law.
Trump might not get removed from office, but those in the GOP will be held accountable. This matters.
So…it looks like ABC released the video before Trump could deny that he kicked Mulvaney out of the oval office for coughing during his 30 hour interview.

Also, why did he even agree to that interview when it was clear he was just going to whine and bitch about it anyway?
If that happens, @jack and his @Twitter outfit will at least find me running an adblocker to deny revenue, if not losing me as a customer altogether. If they act arbitrarily against you, I won’t feel safe on this platform.

my guess is the polls
they know they have to reach a wider audience than just fox
re: #3 Eclectic Cyborg

Because he forgets that not every station will flatter him like Fox, and he complains about everything.
From downstairs:
re: #189 goddamnedfrank
Disagree in principle because my fear is that Gorsuch only joined this ruling to tee up a rationale for ruling against the US House in their lawsuit over Trump’s emergency border funding power grab. Also remember that the Courts had no problem with standing in US House v Azar. So think individual chambers still need to be able to sue over actions that by totally bypass their authority and ability to act as a check on the executive. Otherwise we end up codifying a situation where one chamber can totally prevent judicial review by refusing to sign off on a lawsuit.
I could certainly see Gorsuch wishing to offer such an argument, but the situations are in no way similar. The original lawsuit was brought by a private citizen against the commonwealth, arguing that the district map had created 12 racially-biased districts. The lower courts ruled that the VA GOP’s excuse that they’d done that due to the VRA requirements was sound and the case was appealed to SCOTUS where they busted it back down on instructions to use narrower guidelines. The lower courts ruled in ‘17 that the districts were racially-biased and the whole map needed to be redrawn, which led to Ralph Northam failing to get an agreement with the VA DNC to accept a “modified” version of the map. Cue last year, when the GOP-majority in the House of Delegates decided to appeal the lower court ruling after AG Herring refused on cost grounds, claiming that they had standing not because of any violation of separation of powers…but because their jobs were at risk if the new map was accepted.

This is really the core issue at the moment, this idea of pushing it off to a hypothetical “later” when the polls are so deeply in favor that Chuck can somehow secure a solid 67 votes to remove Trump. Why? Because it’s viewed as a major political liability for the party if they move to impeach and he’s “exonerated” by his own party. With the constant refrain that “Clinton benefited from being impeached” when the evidence to support that conclusion is murky at best.

You stated that the polls indicate that Schumer could get 67 votes in the Senate for impeachment. I pointed out that high level support among the public for something has done almost nothing to move Republicans in the Senate.

Well no, my argument was that we’re told impeachment is only an option if the odds are so in our favor (high majority in polls, 67 votes for removal) that it’s a certified win. And so “later” has really translated to “never,” which is a political liability when you’re trying to build a coalition upon more than just the “mushy middle” who just wants to know that the stores will be open on Monday.
Impeachment is important.
Impeachment is critical to preserving the rule of law.
Impeachment is a process that starts in the House and ultimately ends in the Senate with a vote to remove if 2/3 support that outcome. With the Senate in GOP control and McConnell saying he’s already put his thumbs on the scales of justice, we know the Senate is unlikely to ever see a trial/vote on the outcome of what the House does.
That doesn’t mean impeachment can’t or wont serve a purpose.
Begin impeachment and hold hearings that will cast Trumpworld and the GOP in the worst possible light.
Show their complicity and criminal misconduct. Show how the GOP covers for Trump who has lied every step of the way and broken countless federal laws. Show how Mueller couldn’t indict because of DOJ policies. Heck, have Mueller come in to read chapter and verse of his report.
We know that far too many people don’t know what the report said, and that you can shift public opinion by detailing just how corrupt Trumpworld is and how Trump obstructed justice and conspired with those around him to break the law in significant and meaningful ways.
Hold McConnell accountable. Hold the Senate GOP accountable. Make this an anchor around their collective necks.
If the rule of law means anything, then you have to do what is necessary to protect the Constitution and impeach the motherfucker.
If Trump thinks that he is above the law, then he must be disabused of that notion. His actions are those of a conman/grifter who thinks he can do whatever he wants. He’s doing what he’s always done - acted as though he was above the law in NY and in his business dealings.
Highlight all of this. Show how nepotism has undermined the nation’s security. Show how refusing to name people to Defense and DHS undermines our national security. Show how he’s manipulated the government to personally profit from every action, especially when he goes and golfs. Emoluments matter.
All of this matters.
When you don’t impeach, you signal that there’s nothing to do or can be done and that you’re assuming that elections will take care of the problem. That’s part of how we got into this mess in the first place (both parties are the same, Clinton = Trump, both are crooks, so we picked the know nothing outsider, etc.,) all while ignoring that a GOP controlled Senate would enable packing the courts with right wing ideologues and those who lack the character, judgment, or basic qualifications to be on the bench or in any federal agency (except maybe corrections where they should be spending significant time incarcerated).

re: #186 danarchy
As long as their population was counted towards that states congressional representation it would give them exactly as much representation as any other city.
Then the District of Columbia would become part of the state of MD; It is not. I am leaving VA out of this because they already took their land back. The state of MD doesn’t need nor want to take the land back. Nor would the city want to lose autonomy, which it would by force of annexation. You can’t dissociate the representation from the block of land; i.e., you can’t give the representation to MD (both house and senate) and give the city the autonomy that it deserves.
re: #197 Belafon
Would Virgina or Maryland be allowed to vote on the issue of unrepaired streets in the city, or the need to update the sewage system?
DC needs to be autonomous entity, giving it back to MD (VA has already taken its land back) would remove that autonomy. And having MD take on the burden of the issues in DC is nothing that we (MD’ers) would ever agree to.

We need DC as its own state to help counterbalance the extreme over-representation of whites in the US Senate. In the 19th century, the GOP created a lot of small population states to keep control of the Senate. It split Dakota territory into 2 states, and made Nevada a state when it only had 21k people.

Carried over from last thread:
re: #198 Belafon
Except the Constitution does give the House authority in the areas you describe.
The Constitution also doesn’t give the House any explicit power of inherent contempt, but the courts have inferred that it exists, stemming from their investigative authority and is deemed necessary to preserve a chamber’s efficacy as part of a coequal branch of government. Same rationale applies here.

Warren, Harris, and other Democrats have policies re: health care (and everything else).
Trump doesn’t get any deeper than repeal Obamacare and *shrug*. That’s also the position taken by the former wonk known as Paul Ryan (R-fuck you I got mine). The GOP had a decade to come up with health care policy and alternatives to Obamacare, and the only thing the GOP could identify is repeal Obamacare and fuck the rest. They never had any plan beyond sabotaging Obamacare and hiking costs to millions of Americans. None of that has changed. So stop even attempting to claim a policy exists knowing that there isn’t one.

To be fair — and I really don’t like being fair to Alex Jones — the article does say that the child porn was in email sent TO Alex Jones, not by him.
“The FBI advised counsel that its review located numerous additional illegal images, which had apparently been sent to InfoWars email addresses,” they stated.
re: #70 NO SMOCKING GUN!
According to the article:
“The FBI advised counsel that its review located numerous additional illegal images, which had apparently been sent to InfoWars email addresses,” they stated.
Discovery meant turning over emails/documents on Jones’ servers. If someone sent child porn to Jones, that means that the discovery would have turned those up as well.
Jones may be in legal jeopardy here, but so too are all those who sent him those illegal images/files.

My point is, Jones is a bad guy, we all know that, but that article is kind of click-baity. It only mentions that the porn is in email sent to Infowars addresses at the very end, and much of it before that seems deliberately written to infer that Jones knew about it.

re: #64 DodgerFan1988
This was just filed
PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION FOR REVIEW OF BROADCAST BY ALEX JONES THREATENING PLAINTIFFS’ COUNSEL
On June 14, 2019 (this past Friday), defendant Alex Jones broadcast two segments of The Alex Jones Show identifying Attorney Chris Mattei by name and showing a picture of him, falsely claiming that Attorney Mattei tried to frame Jones by planting child pornography in
discovery materials produced by Jones, distorting what actually occurred in the discovery process in this case, and threatening Attorney Mattei and the Koskoff firm. This Court has an obligation to protect the attorneys, parties, and the judicial process.
Here, threats against counsel have been made on air to a very large audience. The plaintiffs therefore request that the Court review the video in advance of tomorrow’s hearing. Plaintiffs intend to move to seek specific relief on an expedited basis, but this is an issue that the Court should be fully aware of at the earliest possible moment. We estimate review of these segments of the show will take approximately thirty minutes. The video can be found at this link:
infowars.com.
The segment discussing the case begins at 2:12. At approximately 2:19 is the first mention of the child pornography issue. At 2:30, the discussion intensifies and shortly afterward Jones names Attorney Mattei. This all takes place with defense counsel present. I. Background Concerning Metadata Production and Discovery of Child Pornography
These segments concern the fact that the Jones Defendants produced numerous images of illegal child pornography to the plaintiffs in their metadata production.1As the Court will recall, the Jones Defendants failed to produce email metadata, a necessary part of these documents, in their original production. The plaintiffs requested that the Jones Defendants be ordered to do so. In the April 30 hearing, counsel for the Jones Defendants agreed to make that production. The Jones Defendants produced metadata on May 21. They produced a massive volume of documents, indicating that many were non-responsive, but they said that they did not have time to cull the non-responsive documents.
The plaintiffs’ Electronically Stored Information (ESI) consultants began loading files into a document review database in an effort to make them reviewable by counsel as quickly as possible. During that process, the consultants identified an image that appeared to be child
pornography. They immediately contacted counsel, who immediately contacted the FBI. The FBI directed counsel to give control of the entire document production to the FBI, which was done. The FBI advised counsel that its review located numerous additional illegal images, which had apparently been sent to Infowars email addresses. When the FBI indicated it had completed its review, plaintiffs’ counsel advised Attorney Pattis of the matter and arranged a joint telephone
call with the United States Attorney’s Office.
It is worth noting that if the Jones Defendants had engaged in even minimal due diligence and actually reviewed the materials before production, they would have found the images themselves. Because the Jones Defendants did not do that, they transmitted images to the
plaintiffs that if they were knowingly possessed is a serious federal crime. The Jones Defendants put plaintiffs’ counsel and ESI consultants in the appalling position of discovering the first
image. Plaintiffs’ ESI consultants then acted exactly as they were compelled to under federal law once they discovered the contraband images; so did plaintiffs’ counsel. But this appears not to
have been good enough for Jones.
II. Content of Video/Tuesday Hearing Rather than summarize the content of the video, we simply ask the Court to watch it.
Here is one example of the video’s content. At 2:34:08, Jones shouts:
You think when you call up, “Oh we’ll protect you. We found the child porn.”2 I like women with big giant tits and big asses. I don’t like kids like you goddamn rapists. Eff-heads. In fact, delete this: You fucks are going to get it. You fucking child molesters. I’ll fucking get you in the end. You fucks. No, we’re done right there. You know what, I should have deleted it on radio. Probably still went out. I don’t care. You’re trying to set me up with child porn, I’ll get your ass. One million dollars, you little gang members. One million dollars to put your head on a pike. One million dollars, bitch.3 I’m going to get your ass, you understand me now? You’re not going to ever defeat Texas, you sacks of shit, so you get ready for that.
At 2:37:20, Jones names Attorney Mattei, pounds on a picture of his face, and threatens him: And then now magically they want metadata out of hundreds of thousands of emails they got, and they know just where to go. What a nice group of Democrats. How surprising. What nice people. Chris Mattei. Chris Mattei. Let’s zoom in on Chris Mattei. Oh, nice little—[pounds picture of Attorney Mattei’s face with fist]—Chris Mattei. What a good American. What a good boy. You think you’ll put on me, what—[under his breath] I’m gonna kill … [growls]. Anyway, I’m done! Total war! You want it, you got it! I’m not into kids like your Democratic party, you cocksuckers! So get ready!
At the Tuesday hearing, the plaintiffs will request an expedited briefing schedule concerning what orders must issue in connection with Mr. Jones’ on-air statements and Attorney Pattis’ participation in this broadcast. In addition, the plaintiffs may seek interim relief, to span
the time during which the briefs are being filed.
2 This statement apparently refers to (and distorts) the call that Attorney Mattei made to Attorney Pattis to inform Attorney Pattis that child pornography had been discovered in the Jones Defendants’ production.
3 At various points throughout the segment, Jones refers to Attorney Mattei as “bitch.” He also refers to Attorney Mattei as “pimp,” “white-shoe boy,” and “white-shoe boy jerkoff.” civilinquiry.jud.ct.gov

The article certainly seems to be working to portray him as the source of the photos, but what’s likely to get him on the judge’s shitlist is responding to such not by leaving it to his lawyers or issuing a standard “We’ll wait for the results of the investigation,” but instead going on his show to issue threats of retaliation. His lawyers might be able to argue to the judge that those words were uttered in a fit of pique over a misunderstanding, but I doubt that’s going to save his ass.

I think Bush believed it. It’s why he supported immigration reform. And I think there was, at the time, a critical mass of Republicans who believed it as well. But in the subsequent two decades, many were chased out of the party or left of their own volition.

I disagree, I don’t think Bush’s “immigration reform” initiative really was planned to go anywhere: it always seemed to me to be pretty much designed to run right up against both sides’ maximalist objections (shorthanded as “amnesty” vs. “enforcement-only”) in order to maintain the status quo: i.e. keeping a certain mass of cheap, exploitable labor in the country, while maintaining a level of enforcement just enough to keep civil-libertarians quiet, and allowing politicians to inveigh against “illegals” while keeping their donor class happy enough to not complain about their actually doing anything about it.

With the constant refrain that “Clinton benefited from being impeached” when the evidence to support that conclusion is murky at best.
clinton had an economy that was in full boner during the impeachment attempt.

re: #28 lawhawk
Impeachment is important.
Impeachment is critical to preserving the rule of law.Impeachment is a process that starts in the House and ultimately ends in the Senate with a vote to remove if 2/3 support that outcome. With the Senate in GOP control and McConnell saying he’s already put his thumbs on the scales of justice, we know the Senate is unlikely to ever see a trial/vote on the outcome of what the House does.
That doesn’t mean impeachment can’t or wont serve a purpose.
Begin impeachment and hold hearings that will cast Trumpworld and the GOP in the worst possible light.
Show their complicity and criminal misconduct. Show how the GOP covers for Trump who has lied every step of the way and broken countless federal laws. Show how Mueller couldn’t indict because of DOJ policies. Heck, have Mueller come in to read chapter and verse of his report.
We know that far too many people don’t know what the report said, and that you can shift public opinion by detailing just how corrupt Trumpworld is and how Trump obstructed justice and conspired with those around him to break the law in significant and meaningful ways.
Hold McConnell accountable. Hold the Senate GOP accountable. Make this an anchor around their collective necks.
If the rule of law means anything, then you have to do what is necessary to protect the Constitution and impeach the motherfucker.
If Trump thinks that he is above the law, then he must be disabused of that notion. His actions are those of a conman/grifter who thinks he can do whatever he wants. He’s doing what he’s always done - acted as though he was above the law in NY and in his business dealings.
Highlight all of this. Show how nepotism has undermined the nation’s security. Show how refusing to name people to Defense and DHS undermines our national security. Show how he’s manipulated the government to personally profit from every action, especially when he goes and golfs. Emoluments matter.
All of this matters.
When you don’t impeach, you signal that there’s nothing to do or can be done and that you’re assuming that elections will take care of the problem. That’s part of how we got into this mess in the first place (both parties are the same, Clinton = Trump, both are crooks, so we picked the know nothing outsider, etc.,) all while ignoring that a GOP controlled Senate would enable packing the courts with right wing ideologues and those who lack the character, judgment, or basic qualifications to be on the bench or in any federal agency (except maybe corrections where they should be spending significant time incarcerated).
mitch mcconnell doesn’t have any say about whether or not there is a trial in the senate. If the House votes to impeach, there will be a trial in the senate, whether he likes it or not.

re: #163 Belafon
I think that’s 1.5 years.
Looks like the army has a program that matches that time frame:
The Short Answer: Two Years With a Catch
Two years is the shortest amount of time a new enlistee can sign up for active duty, however, there is a catch. You actually have an eight-year commitment but you can perform this commitment as an active duty member, a Reservist, or Individual Ready Reservist (IRR).This is a program but limited in scope compared to the majority of enlistments into the military:
The National Call to Service - All of the services also participate in the Congressional - mandated National Call to Service Program. Under this program, following basic training and an advanced training school, a member spends 15 months on active duty (full time), followed by a minimum of 2 years in the active (drilling) Guard or Reserves, with the remainder of the total eight-year commitment in the IRR.However, all the services (except the Army) strictly limit the number of folks who can enlist under this program each year.
FFS!

If Kyle Kashuv’s middle name is not Keith, he needs to change it stat. It would be very on brand.
… It turns out our pet pooches have evolved human-like eyebrow muscles, which let them make the sad faces that melt our hearts, according to a new study published on Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). …The researchers found two muscles around the eye were routinely present and well formed in the domestic dogs, but not the wolves, and only dogs produced high-intensity eyebrow movements as they gazed at the human.
“It makes the eye look larger, which is similar to human infants,” Professor Anne Burrows of Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, who was one of the co-authors, told AFP. “It triggers a nurturing response in people.”
Since the muscles were robust in the dogs but not wolves, “that tells us that that muscle and its function are selected,” she added. …
It builds on past work, including a notable 2015 paper by a group of researchers in Japan that demonstrated that gaze exchange between humans and their pet dogs led to a mutual spike in the so-called love hormone oxytocin, similar to an effect seen between human mothers and their babies. …

My enlistment in the Navy in the 90s was an eight year enlistment, where the first part was active and the rest in the inactive reserves. Since my enlistment committment was six years, I only had two years where I needed to worry about getting called back rather than the four others would have to wait.

Democrats will need to do some teaching about impeachment:
32% correctly identified impeachment as an indictment by the House, causing a trial in the Senate.
5% said it means the House censures an official
13% said the official is censured and removed from office
7% said criminal proceedings against a person start once they are impeached
28% didn’t know
6% said none of them apply.
54% of people said they either generally knew or thoroughly understood the concept.
I got through the first day of my new job as a Cat Herder in Training at the evil too big to fail bank. Not much happened since I don’t have access to some of the major tools used by this group. But I did shadow a channel manager (that’s really what I’m now going to be doing) today on a low level call.

re: #106 Citizen K
And in many recent discussions with white men (who comprise about 30% of the total population) the abject lack of any sense of awareness or fairness towards minorities and women is dominant.
If they do not experience the reality that 65% of the country does, the problem really does not exist. The notion of “I’ve got mine…fuck you” defines modern white male culture. It really is all about getting mine and nothing else.
BTW, I am a white male.
Latest example. A 65-ish white male working class guy I struck up a conversation with the other day started off suggesting he didn’t like Southerners for their presumed intolerance. A little later he said he supported Trump. He liked the current economy. Go figure. Only an economic downturn will possibly turn any significant white men away from Trump.

I saw something last week from (I want to say) Lake Powell, telling people not to camp within 300 feet of the shoreline because the water has been steadily rising and they might get flooded out. From last week:
Snowmelt from the Rocky Mountains has been pouring into Lake Powell since weather began to warm up. The lake is rising six to 15 inches each day, and according to Greg Smith, senior hydrologist at Colorado Basin River Forecast Center, this is an immense improvement from 2018.
“So if you look at 2018, the volume of water that came into Lake Powell during the April dry period was 2.6 million acre feet. And this year, we’re forecasting 10.1 million acre feet. So you can see I mean, it’s it’s it’s quite a, you know, huge increase from what we saw last year,” Smith said.

Downstream from Wyoming, here in western Nebraska the North Platte River is out of it’s banks in several places.
Further downstream, the Platte River is usually dry or nearly dry this time of year (that is normal), but is near its banks.
Coming home this afternoon and crossing the North Platte outside of the village, the river is out of its banks here. (We’re safe since our town is on the upslope of the Nebraska Sandhills. For our town to flood, there would have to be such a massive amount of water in the valley that Noah’s Flood would be a pipsqueak.)

I gave her the 888 number I have for amazon and told her to go to her bank to get the whole mess straightened out. I only hope it does get straightened out for her sake.

It’s like saying, well sure, I tried it, but I don’t like it.
“Again, I don’t like having sex with children, I like having sex on top of them.”

It isn’t just the LGBT+ community of course. I see my atheist butt following shortly in these religious discrimination cases.
I’ve used this example before, if the local store refuses me service on religious grounds. The next nearest stores are sixteen miles away, and they all know me too. If they also refuse me, the next nearest stores are sixty miles away.

A local tale about banking.
When I was in Sidney today for my VA appointment, I stopped in at the branch of my bank to withdraw some cash. I have never been in that branch before.
I write a cheque for $300 and present it to the teller. She checks our account balance and decides we’re good for the money, and hands across $300 in twenties and twos.
I asked if she wanted to see some ID or something, and she said “no.” She pointed out that tellers across the Panhandle have talked about the weird guy with the long hair, trilby hat, Smart car, who always gets $2 bills when he cashes a cheque.

You are a Rock Star
The county seat of the county to our west (Banner) is about to get hit with a tornadic thunderstorm.
In the meantime, storms are still building in my county. Hiding in my house is not really an option. (We are in the county north of Sidney on the map, in the SE corner.)
Four years ago, a white supremacist shooter murdered nine people who were gathered in prayer in Charleston. Since then, we haven’t done nearly enough to make our places of worship, schools, and neighborhoods safer. With each tragic anniversary, our inaction grows more painful.

The court sent the case back to see if discrimination against religion was at issue.
In the Masterpiece Cakeshop case, the court found that Colorado applied its non-discrimination law in a discriminatory manner. They are saying in this case that the Masterpiece case applies, to ensure that the current case did not violate the state’s statutes.
What it looks like is happening with this case (but not the Masterpiece case) is that religion is getting special privilege (if it’s the right religion) not afforded to others.

We have some severe wind shear here.
There is a line of thunderstorms lined up along the Colorado-Nebraska state line moving north.
Further north where I live, we have thunderstorms moving southeast toward that line.

In the meantime, our local warnings have expired.

It’s going to take something like an Evangelical cake baker refusing to make a cake for a heterosexual couple getting married in a Mormon temple. Because the Evangelical thinks the Mormons are a cult and doesn’t want to encourage it. Before you say, “that’s weird, of course that wouldn’t happen,” Evangelicals do consider Mormons a cult.
