You get no wishes and no sympathy. You brought this on yourself for refusing to mask or social distance. It was inevitable that you’d get covid19.
Now you’ll benefit from privilege and status to get treatment unavailable to most Americans. It might be enough.— lawhawk #maskingforafriend (@lawhawk) December 7, 2020
He, like Chris Christie, was able to get a hospital bed and room immediately. He’ll likely get expedited treatment and drugs unavailable to most Americans. He wont have to worry about paying for his hospital stay.
He never has to worry about the consequences of his actions. Except that covid19 doesn’t give a shit about his politics, only that Rudy spread covid19 to anyone and everyone in his orbit over the past few days - shut down the Arizona Legislature, likely infected his “super duper legal team”, exposed Trumpworld yet again.
Fuck all of them. Knowingly ignoring masking and refusing to social distance should put you at the back of the line for hospital beds and medical treatment. There should be consequences.
Nothing like seeing a miserable sack and the humans disgusted to be near him.
Say what you will about Rudy Giuliani but I wish him a speedy and total landscaping.

How do you stir in the ground almonds then beat the next egg without beating the almonds? Why “stir”?

And this is why he lost the election. Covid-19 is raging and destroying people’s lives and all he has done in the last few weeks is talk about himself. Narcissistic prick.

The problem is that men — and many women — are repelled by an intelligent woman who has far more knowledge than they and who can speak and explain herself thoughtfully and in detail. She was handicapped by her total lack of charisma and by the RW conspiracy that had been targeting her for decades. It is certainly possible if weren’t for the 10 totally partisan Benghazi investigations, the story may have had a different ending but maybe not.
Maybe they will do total landscaping on Rudy…after he takes the dirt nap…

It sounds to me like they want the eggs beaten and the almond flour mixed in more gently so it doesn’t end up flying all over the kitchen. Once it’s thoroughly mixed in you can beat it to your heart’s content as you put the next egg in.
Almond flour lacks gluten, so it’s not like beating it will make it tough.
For some really weird reason, “Farmer Jack” is trending on Michigan Twitter. I know Pie Overlord would remember it…

re: #263 Backwoods_Sleuth
Unpopular take:
Raphael Warnock is not debating in the capacity of “Reverend.” He is debating in the capacity of “politician.” Applying “professional courtesy” with the signifier of a religious faith to a political position in our secular government is another camel nose under the tent of weakening separation of Church and State.
Why does “Reverend” get a pass when other professional titles would not? Why does religion get to hold a privileged place in our secular politics and be granted an appeal to authority that it does not warrant?
While Sen. Loffler is a racist, many conservatives do not believe liberals can be “real Christians (tm)” anyway.
Refusal to wear masks in the midst of a pandemic is the outcome of a generation of propaganda that fetishized “personal freedoms,” but was really a smokescreen to give toxic masculinity permission to be totally selfish. Now, that institutionalized selfishness has become MURDEROUS

Or it’s like someone ignoring the fact that I’ve earned the right to be called Dr and instead insisting on excluding the title and the work that represents in terms of schooling, etc.
I mean that should be fine, right? Since I wouldn’t be debating as a “doctor” but instead as a politician.
I don’t make people use it when they don’t know it because it’s silly and puffed up but in a setting where job titles are relevant, yes, it’s fair for me to insist that I am given the respect I have earned. You can also bet that I would be considered pushy and bitchy for insisting on that respect, whereas a white man would get a complete pass for the correction.

Obviously you’ve not been to modern, edgy church, where old-style fundamentalist teachings are wedded to skinny jeans, popular pastors, concert seating, slick house bands and church coffee bars. This is not your after service coffee in the fellowship hall—that’s for stodgy old Lutherans and Episcopalians. This is cool church, where you can feel free to bring your vente latte (that you bought from the church coffee shop) into the building.

As an atheist, I’m in no position to criticize others’ worship preferences, but I would think the church service would be a good time not to eat and drink, but to reflect and turn one’s mind to one’s relationship with the Almighty.
And enjoy the coffee and donuts in the fellowship hall after the service.

I was raised Methodist, so a potluck is just another form of worship service.

As part of the gift to my parents for their 50th anniversary last year, we went to the church they were going to, the largest one here in Rockwall, the Sunday after their anniversary. The church has a coffee shop inside, and there were cupholders on the pews. Interestingly enough, the lesson itself was on the fallacies of the prosperity gospel.

I guess if you’re used to having a drink with you all the time, as many people seem to, it’s not that distracting, but I’m not someone who picks up a coffee or whatever and sips through a meeting anyway.

I might get one of those. I have upgraded ram on a lot of computer, so I can do it on those, it just gets to be a pain unless the laptop is designed to upgrade. I need more ram because I plan on using it as a starting point for machine learning programming so I can carry it with me.

I run a boat load of emulators & sometimes have a number running simultaneously so I get needing ram. Lisp eats memory too, even in the modern world.
I’ve got 16 gb at the moment (which was ginormous when I got it. Not so much now…) and am probably going to bump to 32 gb soon (current mobo max). When that’s not enough I’ll probably be needing a new AMD cpu/gpu anyway.

In my scans so far, you can get laptops with 16gb pretty easily, but they seem to all max out at 32 GB. I’m assuming that’s just the limit on a two slot system.

It wasn’t mine. It wasn’t even the property of the company I worked for. They rented time on an 8K IBM 1120. My living room is pretty decent sized, and it would have filled it. My boss spoke to it with data switches. I was slow, and had to use punch cards, and those poor cards got pretty ragged after you had run your program a few zillion times, to get it to run right. Then the card reader would choke on one, and you got to disembowel it to get the card out, and punch up a new card. Ah, the good old days!

Plans B and C, I didn’t get a chance to mention this last night when you posted about donating in people’s names for Christmas gifts. Just a thought:
If you are doing this as a group, we’ve found it fun to ask everyone to list 3 charities they support and then we pick from each others’ lists for their gifts. We exchange cards naming the charities we’ve donated to (no $$$ amounts mentioned.)
It gives a bit of a surprise as to who we’re donating to, and gives us something to open together. (Or at a Zoom meeting this year.)

Uhm…no? And that’s only because the sound is so loud you can’t hardly hear yourself think? I went to the local Hillsong franchise because someone wanted to know if the auditorium could seat 2,000 people. (Answer: pretty darn close) One of my friends called during the sermon and the only way I knew he was calling was because I was holding my phone in my hand. And no, I didn’t turn off my ringer because you know, if something happens to my mom, I wanna know.
This is a 15-minute piece of contemplative semi-holiday music performed by She Who Must Be Obeyed (SWMBO) on her Celtic lever harp for one of her small symphonies. The last piece, the Variations, was written for Tournier, who was SWMBO’s teacher’s teacher (Eileen Malone) at the Eastman School.
The big ass harp in the still shots in the first piece is her regular concert harp, a Salvi which sounds like a cannon at the bottom and an angel at the top. It’s also a pain in the ass, weighs 100 lbs., and cost $30,000.
Hope you enjoy.

Well, we have two different opinions on this then. Your title of Doctor (I assume physician here) applies to your knowledge of medicine and its practice. It doesn’t apply to politics, nor pretty much anything else outside of medicine.
I do not respect those who insist I acknowledge their greater educational achievement than what I have, just because they have it. Respect is earned, not demanded.
Does your outrage extend to the person who currently earned the title of President? Are you one of those who sticks an asterisk behind his name?
Rev. Warnock does not appear on the ballot under that title, nor would you under the title Doctor if you ran for office.
Should I demand that you address me by my earned title in public as Petty Officer First Class? Just because I can legally use it, and the title is protected by law, doesn’t mean I get to demand anyone else acknowledge anything I achieved.
This is similar to the occasional winging you hear from conservatives when print outlets which use more formal English refer to “Mr. Trump.” That is an entirely acceptable method of referring to a man, and has been for centuries.
No one refers to Donald Trump as President Donald Trump, BS Econ., a collegiate achievement he has.

Etiquette pedant: Klys has a doctorate. Physicians use “Dr.” socially as well as professionally. PhD’s generally only use it professionally. There are exceptions, of course, but that’s the “Miss Manners” take on it. I have no idea how the social world deals with military titles.

I can see it as being less disturbing, particularly in a large mob group of parishioners.
If you get thirsty, it is a lot less disturbing to the church service if you’re not pushing your way past crowds in the pews to get out of the sanctuary to get a drink of water or whatnot. You’d also miss part of the service.

I have attended a few church services in my misspent life. I don’t recall needing refreshment during the services, but I see if it is a huge crowd scene, there could be a problem.

Etiquette pedant: Klys has a doctorate. Physicians use “Dr.” socially as well as professionally. PhD’s generally only use it professionally. There are exceptions, of course, but that’s the “Miss Manners” take on it. I have no idea how the social world deals with military titles.
“Mr.” has always been the preferred social title for a US president.Etiquette pedant: off.
I don’t think ballots include titles because someone is sure to be offended by something.

My mother and my higher education institution use it on letters to me. That’s most of the use it gets these days.
But it is technically the title I have earned for formal address and I put enough blood and sweat into it that I feel I have the right to use it. :)

Yeah. In a formal situation, I believe, it’s still technically used (AKA a wedding invitation should be address to dr. klys and mr. klys, not mr. klys and ms. klys) but the only places I would use it professionally are in a situation where I want to draw attention to the fact that I have the PhD, which is almost never these days.
Having gone ahead and earned one, I think the process is such that acknowledging the degree should not be restricted to just the field at hand, even if it’s understood that the knowledge base isn’t going to be transferrable, but that’s just my opinion. :)

Actually, no. You are welcome to use it any way you like, but a wedding invitation is exactly where you wouldn’t use it. You’d be Mr. and Ms. Klys. If you were a physician, you would be Mr. and Dr. Klys. I’m not sure why this is, except that this allows people to harass physician at social events. (Dr., I’ve got this weird bump…)

Well, since you’re dragging Miss Manners into this /s there is actually a debate amongst people who make etiquette their profession, including media outlets and wire services.
As for military etiquette, it is normal for active duty military personnel, when writing or speaking in their capacity as a military person, to be addressed by their full title. As a veteran, it is customary to refer to an officer by their last rank (Commander Smith, Lieutenant General Jones), but most veterans including officers normally refer to themselves by their name without the title (Mr. Smith, Jim Wright).
The only time I use my legally-protected title is in the rare case I am writing something which has to do with the military or people associated with it (AT1 Anymouse, USN, Retired-disabled, or if I really want to be pompous Aviation Electronics Technician First Class &c.)
Funny that the length of my schooling total is about the length of a Master’s Degree, yet no one respects my educational attainment, and if I demanded it I would be laughed out of the room.

The Nebraska Unicameral will take up the issue of removing sovereign immunity, not just from police, but other government officials as well.
Prison officials double-bunk a cell, pairing a soon-to-be-released, talkative and sometimes-annoying inmate with a temperamental convicted killer, despite warnings against it.
Five days later, the convicted killer throws an arm under the neck of his new cellmate and chokes him to death.
Omaha police decline to arrest an Omaha man on any of seven possible crimes he committed, some of them against his girlfriend, on a weekend in December 2015. Instead, officers drive him away from his panicked girlfriend and drop him off at a gas station just a mile from her northwest Omaha townhome.
Five hours later, the man returns, kills the girlfriend and her toddler daughter and wounds three other women.
In both cases, loved ones filed wrongful-death lawsuits against the government — the State of Nebraska or the City of Omaha — for failing to protect their loved ones.
In both cases, the claims were thrown out before a trial could even be held. The reason: The Nebraska Supreme Court reversed its own precedent from 13 years ago and declared that, under state law, no one can collect from the government in cases where a third party assaults a victim. No matter what the government did — or didn’t — do.

A man and woman driving a pickup with South Dakota plates knocked over a convenience store in Chadron.
The police were quickly able to give chase and they sped for the state line. Chadron police had to halt at the state line to get permission from the Ogallala Sioux Tribal Police before they were able to continue into South Dakota.
Between the Chadron Police and the OST Police, they were able to find the vehicle abandoned on the reservation. Property from the store was recovered but the robbers remain at large.
The chairwoman of the village board called me tonight, to ask if I would go to Sidney and get replacement flags for the village. As it happens, I have a VA appointment coming up, so that’s not a problem; ConServ Flag will bill the village for new flags, so I don’t have to spend money and request a refund. Since I am going to the VA clinic anyway, I also won’t put in a mileage claim.
I congratulated her for her win to the Clerk of the District Court position in the recent election. Since I wasn’t at the last village board meeting, I asked if that means she has to resign from the village board.
She said no, the village attorney determined in consultation with the state attorney general that the clerk position is not considered a political position, so she can hold both positions at the same time. She said she was pissed, partly because she thought state law would force her out of the village trustee position, and now she has to hold both unless she resigns from the village board, and she doesn’t want to do that (she feels obligated to hold the seat for the full term she was elected for, since she ran for it in the first place).
So, there will be no opening to which I can throw my hat in to fill. That leaves me noodling whether I want to run for the village board in a rematch against the fellow who unseated me, or take on my state senator for the Legislature.

Wyoming health official: ‘so-called pandemic’ communist plot (KSID Radio, Sidney, Nebr.)
A Wyoming Department of Health official involved in the state’s response to the coronavirus questioned the legitimacy of the pandemic and described a forthcoming vaccine as a biological weapon at a recent event.
CASPER, Wyo. (AP) — A Wyoming Department of Health official involved in the state’s response to the coronavirus questioned the legitimacy of the pandemic and described a forthcoming vaccine as a biological weapon at a recent event.
The “so-called pandemic” and efforts to develop a vaccine are plots by Russia and China to spread communism worldwide, department readiness and countermeasures manager Igor Shepherd said at the Nov. 10 event held by the group Keep Colorado Free and Open.
Shepherd was introduced as and talked about being a Wyoming Department of Health employee in the over hour-long presentation in Loveland, Colorado.
Shepherd’s baseless and unsubstantiated claims undermined Wyoming’s public health measures — and public exhortations — to limit spread of the virus, as well as its plans to distribute COVID-19 vaccines in the months ahead.
Even so, Wyoming officials including Gov. Mark Gordon, who at a recent news conference called people not taking the virus seriously “knuckleheads,” declined to comment.
Department Director Mike Ceballos and State Health Officer Dr. Alexia Harrist did not answer questions Friday from The Associated Press, including when they became aware of Shepherd’s talk and what if anything they have done in response.
Phone and social media messages left for Shepherd on Friday weren’t returned.

Police arrest Sidney man on child enticement charges after viral video posted online (KSID Radio)
TL;DR: a group called Predator Poachers goes through Facebook and Instagrram posts looking for child predators.
The Sidney Police arrested him after the video went viral, and are investigating him and Facebook (for permitting child exploitation videos and enticing children).
I imagine any investigation into Facebook will run afoul of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, although the police can certainly document what they find there, and publish what they find about Facebook or Instagram if they feel that is warranted.
At a minimum, we have to be able to trust that our representatives in Congress won’t deceive us about a major threat to our lives so that they can profit on it. But that’s exactly what Perdue and Loeffler did. It’s an incredibly inhumane abuse of the public trust.

A Catholic teen centre for “troubled teen girls and boys” in Wyoming is entangled in a federal lawsuit. The Website for the centre describes it as a “fifty thousand acre working ranch.”
A class-action lawsuit with roughly 25 members and hundreds more eligible is seeking millions of dollars in retribution from Trinity Teen Solutions and Triangle Cross Boys Ranch of Clark on charges of human trafficking and abuse. TTS is run by Angela and Jerry Woodward. TCR is run by Angela’s father Jerry Schneider.
The allegations include two counts forced labor, trafficking, racketeering, negligence and negligent infliction of emotional distress.
The main allegation in the complaint involves the claim the defendants profited from services performed through the unpaid labor and abusive conditions forced upon internees at both Trinity Teen and Triangle Cross. The nature of this alleged abusive treatment included forced silence for weeks at a time; heavily restricted bathroom access; food and sleep deprivation; unqualified therapists; and unheated living quarters.

Entire AZ Legislature Shuts Down For A Week After Mask-Free Giuliani Contracts COVID-19
Arizona’s entire legislature will be closed this week after Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who socialized with GOP state lawmakers mask-less several times last week while trying to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday.
The Arizona Capitol Times obtained an email from the Senate Chief of staff Wendy Baldo informing all senators that “due to COVID-19 concerns and out of an abundance of caution,” the chamber would be closed the entire week.

Delivered Nov. 29 to the nation’s governors, but not released publicly, President Donald Trump’s top pandemic advisers said it’s up to state and local public health officials to alert the public as COVID-19 cases hit an all-time high.

Mike Flynn is letting his Qanon freak flag fly after Trump pardon
Asshole deserves life imprisonment for treason.
Flynn’s post-pardon media tour has included visits to Fox News host Jeanine Pirro’s show and former White House adviser Sebastian Gorka’s radio show, but he has also called into podcasts and internet programs associated with Qanon to question Trump’s election loss and claim he’s being tailed by assassins.
His legal defense relied on donations from Qanon adherents, many of whom believe Flynn is the mysterious “Q” who reveals clues to the conspiracy online, and he’s returning the favor by tossing out wild claims about socialist takeovers and military purges of Trump’s political enemies.
Flynn also endorsed a fringe scheme to hold a new election overseen by the military, and validates Qanon adherents as “digital soldiers.”

It’s a similar trajectory for NJ under Gov. Murphy - a Democrat.
They’re trying to thread a needle between keeping the state’s revenues flowing and keeping people safe. This is the worst time to do lockdowns/limits on business because it’s the key time businesses need to get in the black for the year (hence, Black Friday). But that runs counter to the public health need to keep people safe.
Since an insufficient number of people and businesses are rigorously masking/social distancing, closures are going to have to follow or else the health care systems will buckle and collapse. That’s what’s next if the states can’t get a handle on the spread.

“You should be swinging from a (expletive) rope you Democrat,” said part of a voicemail left on Johnson’s phone, amid several other racist remarks and references of violence.
Johnson posted the audio recording on her Facebook page over the weekend, along with several other screenshots of her phone’s call log showing unanswered calls from cities around the country.
re: #237 garzooma
I think the elected officials need to be even more stark in their warnings.
They need to put it bluntly: the actions you take today affect the hospitalization rate in 2-3 weeks. That means going to visit granny today may put them or others in the hospital and kill them. Mask up to save a life.
We only do shutdowns because we aren’t doing a good enough job masking or social distancing. If everyone masked properly - none of these chin diaper bulkshit - we could slow the spread and reduce the spread of this deadly disease.
It wont completely stop the spread, but it will give our health care system a chance to handle the strain. That’s the primary reason we need to do lockdowns. It’s to prevent our health care system from collapsing. It’s to keep the hospital morgues from overflowing with bodies. It’s to keep doctors and nurses from getting sick themselves and watching their colleagues fall to the strain.

I know we lost some House seats and lost some Senate seats we thought we’d win but the high turnout went both ways there.

The problem is that you need something substantive to bring before SCOTUS. I’m about 90% sure you can’t just appeal to SCOTUS with, “Wahhh, the big bad federal courts and State Supreme Courts have been shooting us down without hearing our evidence and that’s unfaaaair.” You might be able to try, but unless the Supreme Court has turned into a literal kangaroo court, I don’t think it’s going to work.
another ‘100 year’ first
Associated Press: “As Donald Trump’s presidency winds down, his administration is ratcheting up the pace of federal executions despite a surge of coronavirus cases in prisons, announcing plans for five starting Thursday and concluding just days before the Jan. 20 inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden.”
“If the five go off as planned, it will make 13 executions since July when the Republican administration resumed putting inmates to death after a 17-year hiatus and will cement Trump’s legacy as the most prolific execution president in over 130 years. He’ll leave office having executed about a quarter of all federal death-row prisoners, despite waning support for capital punishment among both Democrats and Republicans.”

At this point, what does SCOTUS even owe to Trump? He’s just another former president at this point.
Even the justices he seated have to be looking past him at this point and taking the long view.
They owe as much to Trump at this point as they owe Jimmy Carter or the ghost of Nixon. They’ll make their conservative rulings down the road, but I don’t expect them to take a fire axe to their reputations on a non-existent case.

I’m not. I’m sure that, like most Republicans, they consume right wing media and thus are convinced that there can’t be legal votes against them. They are also just fine with the idea of a Trump dictatorship and the abolition of elections. The difference is only that some people still retain enough self-awareness to understand just how crazy it sounds to say it out loud, just like most racist people still retain enough self-awareness to know that you shouldn’t say overtly racist things in public. It’s not that they don’t believe it, just that they feel ashamed saying it, and that sense of shame makes them even angrier that they should have to feel it.
That’s the real Trump superpower - a total lack of shame, and not caring or understanding that saying these things aloud makes you look evil and insane. And even then it only works because all US media sources understand that he is the avatar of white America, and thus continue to give deference and credence to his evil nonsense as if it is somehow normal.

These are the same people who insisted that ectopic pregnancies be “reimplanted”. Facts and science are irrelevant to their tiny closed minds.
Every time I read a story about how a particular individual is fighting the infection (or losing the fight), it reminds me to stay vigilant and not let my guard down.
My family will not get a second chance. I ‘might’, though likely with permanent and undesirable health changes.
We rarely go out. We are lucky.
We just reviewed what we’ve been doing and are now redoubling our efforts to be even more careful and limit our contact even further.
But you, stranger, you are right.
If you’re not currently infected, you can go around not wearing a mask or washing your hands, or distancing and there’s a chance you won’t get infected.
IF:
- you don’t come in contact with anyone who is infected
- you don’t touch anything infected and then touch your face, etc.
- and yes, you might come in contact an infected person, whether they or you know it
— - and you might ‘get some covid on you’
— - and it might not be enough of a viral load to take root and grow (again you wouldn’t have any idea this happened).
That’s an awful lot of luck to be relying on
Further, you could become infected and not know it (yet) and, while still not wearing a mask etc., you can easily infect your family, co-workers, friends, and strangers.
Finally, everyone who gets it does not sail through to a 100% total recovery.
So by all means go ahead and treat those very real, very true statistical and scientific realities as being exactly the same as ‘it’s a hoax’ or ‘it’s no big deal’.

..Runoff elections set up in Georgia in early 1960s by segregationists to keep Black voters from participating
But high turnout, diverse electorate & 2 years of organizing against voter suppression could be the difference for Dem Senate candidates on Jan 5…
The rationale for runoffs was totally malign in this instance, but I don’t disagree with the desire to have the winner receive not just a plurality, but a significant percentage of the vote. This is another area where I’m a broken record, but the 2019 Chicago mayoral election was a perfect example of the problem that can arise when more than 2 candidates participate: there were 14 candidates and the 2 candidates that emerged from the first round had 17.5% and 16% respectively, not a resounding affirmation for either. Chicagoans were fortunate that both finalists had substantial credentials and were serious contenders— they could have discovered that the least qualified ended up in the runoff when too many participants appeal to the same sane base, fragmenting the vote.

Contrariwise, Judge Parker in Michigan wrote an extensive decision that went far above and beyond what a federal judge would ordinarily write - Akiva, in particular, was gobsmacked at how far the judge went to continue bench-slapping Powell and Co. around - with the intent of demonstrating that at no time, and under no circumstance, would any of this bulkshit have succeeded in federal court, period.

Judge Batten didn’t even give them the time of day; the legal eagles I have been reading were quite taken aback that he dismissed the case from the bench, saying that this is quite a rare occurrence and speaks to how much Judge Batten considered it a literal nothingburger. Contrariwise, Judge Parker in Michigan wrote an extensive decision that went far above and beyond what a federal judge would ordinarily write - Akiva, in particular, was gobsmacked at how far the judge went to continue bench-slapping Powell and Co. around - with the intent of demonstrating that at no time, and under no circumstance, would any of this bulkshit have succeeded in federal court, period.
Judge Parker might have saved herself the effort: “bench-slapping” Team Krakpot - however deservedly - is probably a huge waste of time, as legal “success” seems to be a virtual irrelevancy in any of these cases. It’s fundamentally political theater, not law.

It gets better. They have a variety, a Scheurebe, literally a “shy grape”.
Shy ****z. How could we not go for that?
But then Herr ****z told us it had just been bottled and did not even have a label.
Shy, naked ****z.
We bought it anyway just to be able to laugh about it…
If there’s a picture there is not showing. And all the words are ****z so I have no idea what any of this means.

In Presidential elections in France it always results in a runoff involving someone named LePen who scares all the other factions into supporting the opponent…

It wasn’t intended for the audience of dimwits that brought the suit in the first place, nor even intended to ensure her decision was appeal-proof (apparently a judge might cite 2 or 3 reasons for dismissal in an attempt to resist appeal, but 8 is unheard of). Rather, it’s to demonstrate to the rest of us that judges ARE taking this seriously, and that our elections ARE safe.
Between rapidly approaching deadlines, Giuliani being hospitalized and a string of court losses, there is a sense developing internally that the Trump legal team’s efforts are coming to a close, according to multiple people. Fewer calls, meetings happening, etc.

Spoilers: If your big play is relying on Rudy Giuliani to swoop in like a bald eagle, waving the American Flag and blowing the bad guys away with his legal jiu-jitsu, you are in for a bad time and you will not go to space today. Or ever.

re: #349 thedopefishlives
I remind people: I was cautious. I planned for every contingency. I did literally everything I could right. And I still got sick because I was victimized by someone close to me who ignored all of this advice and betrayed my trust.
This may be bad of me, but I hope you find ways to remind them of this early and often. I’d never give them the benefit of the doubt ever again. Even if it’s family. They lied to you and put you in harms way. I hope you recover well.

Sometimes after hearing or reading an argument from a Trumpster, I am so irritated that I mentally form a vicious attack against the provocateur — and this is may be her motivation. She could be so infuriated with these baseless assaults on our voting system that she wrote the opinion as a stress reliever. Wonder if it could serve as a part of a filing with a legal board of ethics.

At the very least, Mrs. Fish has already said, “Fuck all of them, we’re spending Christmas at home alone.” Granted, Christmas this year would have been with her family, and neither one of us is insane enough to sign up for that. Even now that we’ve been infected with COVID, there’s still a pretty high probability that we’d pick up something else that would do some damage.
re: #392 thedopefishlives
I believe there were two where the judges got as far as the affidavits before summarily placing them into the circular file. Nevada was one, I thought the other one might have been in Wisconsin.
In Nevada I believe they took actual depositions where they were questioned by state council, so a little beyond affidavit, but not quite in person testimony.
