So at this point I can only imagine that Bannon is going to take the stand to blow up enough smoke that Fox can find some talking points in it to “disqualify” the hearings

re: #218 No Malarkey!

Bannon might just plead the Fifth rather than perjure himself, since, even though he has a pardon, there may be hypothetical state crimes he could incriminate himself for.

The pardon covers fraud charges related to the Build the Wall project, not crimes related to the efforts to overturn the results of the election.

He still has to deal with the Democrats, Cheney, and Kinsigner (?sp) on the committee. Bannon has been good at making sure he avoids scrutiny so far.

I didn’t know if Trump gave him a blanket pardon or if it was specific.

Fox has already disqualified the hearings as a partisan stunt. Cheney and Kinzinger being appointed by Pelosi and against the wishes of GOP leadership makes them honorary democrats as far as fox viewers are concerned.

The trial is support to start next week and therefore after the J6 hearings this week. He may be reluctant to testilie before the court during that trial because there are real consequences for perjury in such proceedings.

Incidentally, I was in Virginia in 2019 and took the tour of Monticello. They were honest about Jefferson and his slave-holding. This means that it got a lot of time since it was one of the central facts of his life, as his writings make clear. He still gets full credit for his achievements, which are also given full coverage. The result is a balanced look at a very complex and fallible man of his time.
There was one goober in the group who groused about the emphasis on slavery but who turned out not to have known that Jefferson was an architect. This did not surprise me for some reason. The idolaters often seem not to know much about their idols.

re: #89 Eclectic Cyborg

My hope is Musk gets soaked for a tidy sum.

Current consensus among the lawyers on Twitter that I’ve pseudo-randomly sampled is that Twitter is in a fairly strong position. It seems Mr. Musk made the unfortunate mistake of signing a contract for specific performance; that is to say, he specifically agreed, “I will pay $44 billion to buy Twitter, Inc., unless one of these conditions applies.” None of those conditions appears to apply, his bluster about the bot percentages notwithstanding; therefore, Twitter should get paid, although most likely they will negotiate a settlement prior to trial that will end up being more than $1B but less than the full $44B, and they get to keep their company, to boot.

They’re clearly banking on the reward being more than the legal fees, and they’re probably right. All that said, I am not a lawyer, I just read a bunch of them; and I’m already at the limit of what I’ve found on the wild Interwebs for the subject.

Thinking of all those drug commercials and prescription medications that have that footnote warning “tell your doctor if you are or planning to be pregnant” and/or “do not use if you are pregnant” (it’s almost always the last thing in along list of warnings).

End result is that eventually only men will have access to vital medications while women pay the price by having to tough it out.

Letting kids be killed in their schools or be orphaned by gunmen who should not have been able to buy a gun in the first place.
Letting people be killed by their intimate partners due to a lack of red flag laws.
Death penalties for people who have been exonerated of their crimes.

Killing people by denying treatment because their baseless interpretation of their religion says they should.

Killing people in heat waves, floods, crop failures, and violent weather due to climate change, that’ll just get worse.

fun story:
MrBWS made a dump run today and took about 4 months worth of recyclables.
The recycling guy (RG) at the recycle building was obviously distressed to see the bed of the pickup filled with bags and boxes of recyclables.

Until…after MrBWS handed over two big boxes of cardboard, and RG stares at the big bags of plastics and says “we only take…”

MrBWS says: “The #1 plastics are in these bags, #2s are in those.”

RG: “oh”

Then MrBWS hands over the first bag of metal cans.

RG: “We like pop and beer cans separate.”

MrBWS: “That’s cool. Aluminum cans are in that bag.”

RG was just amazed. Apparently no one separates recyclables. Then RG sees one more bag: “what’s that?”

MrBWS: “oh, that’s our regular garbage, I’ll head back over to the weigh station and deal with it over there.”

RG: “Hand it over, I’ll just toss it into our dumpster here. Thanks for saving me several hours of sorting!”

I’ve got a bunch of old unbearable shoes that I’m trying to somehow recycle. I posted that question to my neighborhood FB group, hoping for some suggestions.

Overall, there were some good ideas. The last one, unfortunately, was to take them to a shelter in Camden. Again, I noted the shoes were worn out and also shut down any suggestions of dropping them off at Goodwill, as Goodwill doesn’t recycle shoes and they’re not a public dump..

My response to the “Give ‘em to the poors in Camden” lady?

Like I mentioned in the original post, the shoes are unwearable.

It’s not my thing to roll into a town where the people are struggling and go “Here’s a bunch of worn out, useless shoes, knock yourselves out.”

I read an article a couple of months ago—I read so much fragmentary stuff on the internet that I can’t remember sources much anymore—about how Jefferson was indeed dedicated to trying to phase out slavery until in the early 1790s he started to turn a profit from the nail-making shop on his property and from slave sales. This was important due to his profligate spending. He had finally hit on something that might allow Monticello to pay for itself. After that he did a 180 and turned increasingly to the brutal practices that kept enslaved people in line (of course, he didn’t personally whip anyone, iirc). Sorry I can’t find the link.
