re: #4 Backwoods_Sleuth

Apparently the Trump camp has known about Vance’s apostasy in 2016 for a long time, but years of dedicated flattery got Vance the Trump endorsement.

We’ll see how long this lasts if the present-day coverage gets to be embarrassing for Trump (or if any of Vance’s enemies manages to piddle in Trump’s ears).

The most plausible theory I’ve seen for this is that Vance is a celebrity because of his book, and Trump mindlessly admires celebrity.

Jim Swift, in an article published by the conservative website The Bulwark on April 15, has an interesting theory about Trump’s decision to endorse Vance over Mandel and other Republicans in that primary. Mandel, Swift argues, became too “creepy” even for Trump…

and

In a report for the Daily Beast back in early February, journalists Asawin Suebsaeng and Jackie Kucinich offered some insights on why Mandel wasn’t winning Trump over despite pushing the MAGA agenda so aggressively. Trump, according to Beast sources, had, “for months, told people close to him that he thinks Mandel is a charisma-free weirdo and dork.”

Per Swift’s article:

Mandel was more of a Trump sycophant than anyone — to the point where it became a bit unsettling. Even Trump himself thought Mandel’s still-mysterious disappearance and even-more-mysterious subsequent divorce, combined with his obsession with Trump, was creepy. Mandel has long been a ladder-climbing opportunist, but when even Donald Trump thinks you’re a weirdo, it might be time to rethink your life choices.”

Melissa Lucio is scheduled to be executed by the state of Texas on April 27 for the 2007 death of her 2-year-old daughter, Mariah. But a growing number of advocates and lawmakers say that state officials will be killing an innocent woman should they go through with the execution. They cite an investigation and trial so deeply flawed that five jurors who convicted Lucio have since asked for Texas to halt her execution and give her a new trial.

“I am now convinced that the jury got it wrong and I know that there is too much doubt to execute Lucio,” juror Johnny Galvan Jr. wrote in the Houston Chronicle this month. “If I could take back my vote, I would.”

Both Galvan and the Innocence Project, a leading organization that has fought to exonerate wrongly convicted people, noted that prosecutors’ case largely rested on a coerced statement that Lucio gave after hours of interrogation. Detectives tormented Lucio the night of Mariah’s death. The child had fallen down some stairs but initially appeared to be fine. But two days later, she never woke back up from a nap.

“In the interrogation room, officers berated and intimidated Ms. Lucio, who was pregnant and still reeling from the loss of her child, for five hours,” the Innocence Project said. “Research has shown that survivors of sexual abuse and violence, like Ms. Lucio, are more vulnerable to falsely confessing under such coercive conditions.”

But at 3 AM, “physically and emotionally exhausted” from hours of interrogation, Lucio said “‘I guess I did it’ in the hopes that they would end the interrogation.” This statement was then used in her trial as a false confession. In his op-ed, Galvan Jr. wrote that he was not made aware of Lucio’s history as a physical and sexual abuse victim, and how that “made her vulnerable to falsely confess when subjected to aggressive interrogation tactics on the night of her daughter’s death.”

He said no one told him that she pleaded her innocence more than 100 times before saying, under duress, that she did it. But Lucio has always been clear: “Mariah was my baby, I loved her,” she said last month, according to Innocence Project.

There have been further disturbing developments in the time since Lucio’s conviction. Armando Villalobos, the Cameron County district attorney who fought to have her executed as part of a likely cynical reelection ploy, has himself been sentenced to more than a decade in prison on charges of bribery and extortion. “Mr. Villalobos argued that Ms. Lucio abused her daughter leading to her death, but thousands of pages of interviews and records from Child Protective Services show that Ms. Lucio’s children never said she was violent with any of them,” Innocence Project continued.

re: #43 Charles Johnson

Same airlines that don’t mind shaving an inch off legroom to pack more people on board planes, isn’t going to push for public safety with masking.

The more people on board, the less likely everyone can evacuate in an emergency (and yeah, I know the FAA is supposed to test seating configurations), but if you’ve reduced legroom and the seat pitch, you slow people getting out of seats, increase number of people on board who have to escape, and increase odds someone doesn’t survive.

I still remember how afraid the rednecks were of AIDS in the 80s, and for many years afterward. I knew people who thought you could catch it from swimming in the same chlorinated pool as someone who was HIV positive. Fear of HIV has faded but nothing has really changed.
The goobers still have their superstitions. High blood pressure is an example. I swear some of them think it’s contagious. Others believe, in direct defiance of federal standards and medical judgement, that high blood pressure can cause you to fall over dead with no warning, crashing any vehicle you might happen to be operating. Yet these same morons refuse to get flu shots or vaccinate their children. Antivaxx is the method by which the non-rational population will self-eradicate. To hell with compassion for the ignorant.

All of those are true, all of those are horrible, but that’s not even the worst part. 400 deaths a day, but 30 thousand cases a day, every one of which could be a new variant.

Or how many signs the ‘stager’ bought at half-price for their house-flipping inventory.

There are two houses within a block of mine that have been stripped out and refurbished in the last couple of months. One of them was listed at $75K over the prevailing neighborhood prices — am hoping they don’t get what they’re asking.

Not to mention five calls in three days from real estate agents wanting to know if we’re going to sell soon. ‘Tis a sign of spring around here.

These fucking people… and I usually give Jennifer Rubin a pass since she seems to have had an honest turnaround.

Right under that article, is another one by her which is:

“Voters are worried about crime. The White House needs to listen.”

In it she basically says the truth: Crime isn’t really up but people think it is and people in LA are pissed off about the homeless.

So Biden should “fix” this? Homelessness is an peripherally related issue that needs addressing, but the “crime spike” is bullshit. She admits it in the article too. How do you solve a problem that doesn’t actually exist beyond someone playing asshole games with statistics and comparing things to COVID as if 2020-2021 were normal years?

Is Biden supposed to ask Congress to make a fake law, that doesn’t do anything about non-existent crime, then pretend it passed and say “see mission accomplished.”

That basically is what the GOP thinks governing is now anyway, so might as well I guess. Jesus Fucking Christ.
