from last thread:
re: #304 Dr Lizardo
There’s often a difference between literary and cinematic representations of a character. Years and years ago, I read a couple of the Perry Mason books - and only knowing Perry Mason through Raymond Burr’s performance, I couldn’t help but think, “Wow, Perry Mason’s kind of a dick”, at least compared to his TV incarnation.
True: and I’ll second the recc for the HBO series: Mathew Rhys’ Perry Mason is a lot closer to the original character than the rather blander Perry that Raymond Burr portrayed.
Apparently, that was Erle Stanley Gardner’s doing: from what I’ve read, Gardner had been quite unhappy with the potboiler Perry Mason movies which had been made in the 1930s (he had not been directly involved): so when he was approached for the idea of a TV series in 1956, he insisted on complete approval of every story and script: and made sure that, to conform with contemporary TV standards, the plots were toned down to minimize a lot of the original skirt-the-law antics book Perry Mason usually got up to. Classic TV, but (IMO) at the cost of making the main character somewhat, well: characterless.

Democrats are pathetic at striking back. The GOP has followed the same playbook every year for decades — Democrats weak on crime! Democrats elitist and cowards! Democrats raise taxes! Blacks are scary criminals! More guns would protect us! — and the Democrats have failed to figure out a competing strategy. Every Republican needs to be vilified. Unfortunately, the GOP base is fine with anything evil attributed to their leaders — they are fully on board with fascism

I just got off the phone with Cindy at the county health dept. I had emailed a complaint about a pharmacy not putting me on the list for when they got the bivalent Moderna in, because I don’t have insurance. Cindy told me that she just got off the phone with a pharmacy that had wrong info and straightened them out, and made sure the right info went out again all over the state. I asked her which pharmacy. It was the same one. She said they’ve always been so good with the county, gone above and beyond, and it was an honest mistake. So I can go back there, or to the vax event at the fairground or the U campus…. So next 2 days in a row off work, I’m getting it. I’d even take a Pfizer, at this point.

The news of that suit feels like a light turning on in a dark room.

Wow.
Sending people to jail for possessing marijuana has upended too many lives – for conduct that is legal in many states. That’s before you address the clear racial disparities around prosecution and conviction. Today, we begin to right these wrongs.

First: I’m pardoning all prior federal offenses of simple marijuana possession. There are thousands of people who were previously convicted of simple possession who may be denied employment, housing, or educational opportunities as a result. My pardon will remove this burden.
— President Biden (@POTUS) October 6, 2022
Second: I’m calling on governors to pardon simple state marijuana possession offenses. Just as no one should be in a federal prison solely for possessing marijuana, no one should be in a local jail or state prison for that reason, either.

Third: We classify marijuana at the same level as heroin – and more serious than fentanyl. It makes no sense. I’m asking @SecBecerra and the Attorney General to initiate the process of reviewing how marijuana is scheduled under federal law.

President Joe Biden pardoned thousands of individuals convicted of possessing marijuana, sending pot stocks soaring Thursday afternoon on the news.
The pardons apply only to federal offenders as well as those convicted in the District of Columbia, but Biden called on governors across the country to follow suit.
“Just as no one should be in a federal prison solely due to the possession of marijuana, no one should be in a local jail or state prison for that reason, either,” Biden said in a statement.
More than 6,500 individuals with prior convictions for simple marijuana possession were impacted by the pardons, said the official, and thousands more through pardons under D.C. law.

re: #2 Eclectic Cyborg
Fetterman is really good at this. I wish more Dems were this savvy.
I think his stint as Mayor of Braddock gave him a good feel for local politics and dealing with people as people and different sets of needs.
His time as Lt Gov of PA gave him some understanding of the state-level and legislative house procedures.
And the crap he got from the GOP-majority legislature while in the latter position probably means he has no illusions about cooperation with the GOP and no fucks left to give in dealing with them.
So arguably this man gets it as much as anyone does right now.
(And I hope he completely mops the floor with Oz. Though the later is going to get votes simply for being on the ballot with (R) next to his name. I don’t think Oz is popular at all in the state with the GOP base. He just isn’t running as a Democrat.)

re: #98 Dr. Matt
It’s so loooooong overdue to make marijuana legal at the federal level. I hope Biden finally does this.
Isn’t that one of the things it will take congress to do? It is a schedule 1 substance under the controlled substances act. He can pardon people and give the doj guidance on prioritization and enforcement, but he can’t actually make it legal on his own.

Donald Trump’s worst nightmare is that Hunter Biden gets indicted by Biden’s DOJ. Trump knows that means DOJ will next charge Trump because now it looks “fair and balanced.”
Trump would have to shut the fuck up about the DOJ.
I cannot imagine that he will be able to, though…

Agreed. No But. Buts delegitimize everything after the But.
Make no mistake, rescheduling marijuana will not be a rapid process. At least through executive branch administrative (paperwork) process. Lots of hurdles and hoops ahead.
There is a process and bureaucracy that must be navigated. And you can expect roadblocks along the way from government employees who do not agree with decriminalization

This probably depends on the wording of the law. There is a difference between decriminalizing it and making it specifically legal. If they just amend the the current law to remove it from the schedule 1 list then it will probably be state by state, kind of like gambling and prostitution.

Can someone explain to me why Musk is so hung up on this bots thing?
Monetization. Remember, he’s looking to make money on Twitter by bringing monetized transactions to the platform. If 90% of Twitter is bots, they’re not going to participate in monetized transactions.
Fat chance of getting any of THEIR Fentanyl…

Just my non-professional opinion, but ISTM Elon’s obsessive fixation on the bots is just a handy excuse he’s always fostered to try to give himself an “out” if/when/however he changed his mind about the Twitter deal. He seems to have (as now) dragged it out every time he’s tried to bail.

Biden has expanded national monuments reduced by Trump, but this will be his first action to create a new national monument under the 1906 Antiquities Act.

It’s his out. That’s all. He made this deal without any due diligence and he made it on a whim. And now he wants out. That’s it.

And I hope to God it does improve his favorability, with a pass through to Democrats in general. Democracy is on the line in just a few weeks.

Quote:
Republicans who refuse vaccination are almost certainly also going to refuse social distancing and masks. There aren’t two distinct groups.
I don’t think it suggests that they’re distinct groups. Masking and social distancing were made mandatory by Democratic governors, not by Republicans.Vaccination isn’t something governors can require (with some exceptions not relevant for the period in question), but individual (Republicans) can and did refuse it. Therefore we have the distinction in death/illness rates, with an uncertainty about which practice had a greater effect.

Admittedly, I haven’t read the article yet, but the whole thing screams “Medical-themed Cletus safari” to me.
I’d almost bet my drawing hand that there’s a passage in the story where the author travels to ‘real’ America and asks Republicans in a diner what they think.
You lose.
Anyone else remember the story of why Jeff Sessions disapproved of the klan? He thought they were just long-haired dudes who smoked pot these days. I guess he thought they couldn’t properly organize their hate anymore.

I think the larger observation (anecdotal on my part as a Kentuckian, admittedly) is that Republicans were and still are less likely to vaccinate, mask, and social distance. Our Republican representatives in DC, as well as in Frankfort, are proponents of alternative cures and claim natural immunity even though some of them have contacted the virus more than once.
To me it is absolutely clear that it really has not so much to do with whether a governor is Democratic or Republican. It has everything to do with the Republican/conservative/libertarian mindset of “don’t you dare tell ME what to do”.

The redcaps are lousy at organization, so they probably still don’t get the Racist Keebler Elf’s seal of approval for competence in fascism.

re: #234 Mike Lamb

It’s clearly more politically useful to do this now instead of on day 1, because of the short attention span of way too many voters. And we need Democrats to do politically savvy things to help fend off the Republican menace in the next election.
re: #172 jaunte
This is bad.
This will get challenged real soon since most of those places (Stadiums, amusement parks, etc.) are privately owned and the owners have rights to ban it on their property.
The subway and Times Square might be more problematic. And thus me wondering if this is a judge with a hard-on to screw NYC and “own the libs”.
And all that assuming this ruling actually carries any real weight whatsoever.

Yes, it’s so puzzling why Republicans who demonize scientists, Dr. Fauci and vaccinations are dying at greater rates from COVID. Such a mystery.

Monetization. Remember, he’s looking to make money on Twitter by bringing monetized transactions to the platform. If 90% of Twitter is bots, they’re not going to participate in monetized transactions.
And 90% of the remainder who aren’t Trump fanatics aren’t going to pay either.
