No Labels Party Proposes Effort to Swing Election for Preferred Candidate After Voting Ends
In the unlikely event that no candidate reaches 270 electoral votes come November, centrist group No Labels has floated a reality in which the outcome of the election could hinge not on the will of the voters, but rather on which candidate might be more willing to cut a deal with the group. “It’s possible… that there could be negotiation to create a coalition government where electors get traded between different candidates to get somebody over 270,” No Labels chief strategist Ryan Clancy told NBC News. No Labels co-founder and former Rep. Tom Davis elaborated on the idea: “It could be, for example: ‘We’re going to build a border wall [and] not run deficits.’ Any number of things,” he said, adding that the group could “swing faithless electors over” in spite of the will of the voters.
Yeah, let’s repeat the election of 1986, where after month’s of negotiation, 20 EV from Florida, Louisiana, Oregon, and South Carolina were given to Hayes so he beat Tilden by one EV. He became President - the GOP remained in control of the White House. The greatest percentage of Americans in history voted in that election, over 80% for Tilden but they were ignored. The compromise resulted in the end of Reconstruction and the destruction of minority rights in the US for almost a century.
Yeah, let’s do that. Assholes.

Jesus is the gateway drug, he’s what they use to get you in the door. Tell you about how he loves everybody, he wants everybody to be saved, and he has a place for you in Heaven. That if you’re a “sinner” then he will forgive you and if you engage in “wicked” acts then he will accept you.
Then you get the pew, you put your fiver in the plate, and instead get served a heapin’ helpin’ of Ol’ Fire & Brimstone about how everybody not sitting next to you is a wicked sinning heathen who’s going straight to Hell…unless they join the flock and pay their dues. What’s that? Jesus? Well, he was a swell guy, but he’s in the New Testament and we’re still crawling through the bowels of the Old Testament. You want that feel-good shit, you need to go back to Sunday School.

From a CNN article about the Prague shooting:
Jakob Weizman, a Danish student at the Charles University in Prague, was taking an exam on Thursday when he started hearing gunshots and screams.
His first instinct was shock, he said - he never thought a school shooting would happen near him, in Europe.
“I lived in the US for a very long time, if it would happen anywhere, it would have happened in the US,” he told CNN afterward. “Now it’s spreading like a disease to Europe as well.”
He pointed to a recent spate of shootings elsewhere in the continent, saying: “You see this happen in Denmark, Serbia, and now here. This is incredibly frightening, you know?”
Maybe, courtesy of social media and instant communication worldwide, the gun madness here is infecting the rest of the world. Or violence anywhere infects everywhere.

re: #33 Hecuba’s daughter
There’s been incidents of mass violence here in Czech Republic before - the most infamous being a vehicle ramming attack by an 18-year-old young woman in 1973 that left eight dead and a dozen more injured, a disco firebombing that killed 32 back in 1993 (that’s still unsolved, BTW), and a couple of mass shooting incidents, including one at a hospital only about five miles from me here in Ostrava.
Violence is rare in Czech Republic - but when it does happen, it tends to be mass violence.
Czech media is noting that of the dead, almost all of them were young women - which makes me wonder if there’s some kind of incel angle at play.
And of course, most people are wondering how the hell did a 24-year-old have the money to purchase what the authorities are describing as “an arsenal” (about a dozen firearms of various calibers)? Now on that count, I’d be willing to wager he likely came from a pretty well-off family, so money might not have been an object, as it would be for your average Pepa Novák.

The crux of his entire bit is this part right here:
And they protect it and they protect the people that that do that. And by doing so, you know, the old honey pot — the Russians do that — and I’m sure members of Congress have been caught up. Why in the world would good conservatives vote for crazy stuff like what we’ve been seeing out of Congress? Here’s how it works. You’re visiting, you’re out of the country or out of town or you’re in a motel or at a bar in DC and, whatever you’re into - women, men, whatever — comes up and they’re very attractive and they’re laughing at your jokes. And you’re buying them a drink. Next thing you know, you’re in the motel room with them naked.
The whole thing’s a long-winded version of the “They must a’ got to him” conspiracy theory. That bit that wingnuts love to hold onto to explain how their worldview can be so at odds with the way things play out, that court cases that don’t go the way they expected them to means that “somebody” must have “got to” the judge or the jury. A bill didn’t pass and their favorite politician(s) voted against it? “Somebody got to them.” So on and so forth, which is how you wind up with elaborate conspiracies about massive shadowy cabals that control everything and why nothing goes the way you expected it to, because they have plans that contradict yours and will expend ginormous resources to achieve them at your expense.
Hence how some horny old goat who chose to exploit the time away from his wife to get his dick wet and tried to hump anything that stayed still long enough like a drunk teen on Spring Break in Cancun magically becomes the helpless victim of a “honey pot” who “just happened” to wind up on camera in bed with a total stranger.

What happens when you drive a tractor trailer loaded with LP Gas into a railroad overpass? FIRE!
An 18-wheel tractor-trailer, carrying what officials believe to be compressed gas containers, rammed into the Maple Avenue bridge in Glenville and exploded, releasing a cloud over the suburban community on Thursday night.
The explosion occurred at approximately 6:34 p.m. The driver, identified late Thursday as 60-year-old Sylvester Basil Jr., of Clute, Texas, suffered third-degree burns on his hands and face. He was airlifted to Westchester Medical Center for treatment.
Police said he failed to recognize the height warning signs and struck the bridge while traveling from Pennsylvania to make a delivery to an unknown location approximately an hour north of the Schenectady County town.
“It’s, by far, the worst bridge hit — by far,” Glenville Supervisor Chris Koetzle said. The town has been the location of numerous bridge strikes at multiple overpasses in recent years.
When I used to DJ way back in the early ‘80’s it was kind of the golden age of Disco and funk, there were so many bands and songs, the groups and hits would come in waves and the forgotten & never heard disco hits outnumbered the ones you heard on the radio by at least a thousand times.
There were so many record companies and off brand underground hits that came and went that nobody could track them really. The club I was at subbed to so many disco record services that they were overflowing with vinyl — we used a huge walk in beer cooler that broke down to shelf them, and those shelves overflowed with cuts from groups you’ve never heard of.
Anyway, I used to occasionally challenge myself to put together a set of unknown songs by going in and grabbing disco LP’s at random off the shelves with my eyes closed. There were quite a few discoveries back then, this is one of the few I still remember.

They aren’t.
Again, like most things it’s of primary importance to remember the nexus to power, and a Democrat is President, so however we feel about the situation it makes perfect logical sense for the people who believe this is tantamount to genocide to protest the office within their own government with the most leverage to actually change the trajectory of the situation. So that’s what they’re doing.
And whatever label you decide to throw at it things are pretty much fucked when over two Hiroshima bombs worth of explosive ordinance have been thrown into a city half the size of Hiroshima and we’re sitting here blaming the protestors for not protesting the out-of-power Republicans who would be supporting Netanyahu and the IDF even harder if they were in charge. They’re pissed off now and it’s irrational to expect them to cater their protests according to some long term strategy to avoid a worse outcome when our electoral politics have already led to the current political center aligning in foreign policy terms with those right wing interests.
And no, it’s not Putin either that’s pulling their strings, that’s a cop out. These protestors have a long held consistent world view that has absolutely fuck all to do with what Putin wants. I admit that they largely are minimizing Hamas’ war crimes but that’s because they’re doing the same zero sum bullshit equation, only simply based on the raw body counts instead of the number of racist bigoted vocal assholes, that Israel’s unquestioning supporters are doing. But that’s because raw body count, genocidal rhetoric and specific atrocities make for good emotional drivers and not because the zero sum is a valid framework for analysis.
So it’s dismissive to pretend their motivations are being fed to them and that they’re just fools being manipulated by some domestic or foreign bogeymen. These protesters may arguably be going about this the wrong way, they may not be treating politics as a chessboard and thinking three moves ahead, but their motivations organically arise from their own internal positions.

This will be spun as though it affects just a fraction of the people incarcerated for marijuana offenses since the overwhelming majority of drug offenses are tried, convicted, and sentenced under state laws.
The message though is that the federal government is moving towards decriminalization.
Now, if Congress and the government would finally reclassify marijuana out of the current schedule, that would be game changing.

He has even claimed immunity over crimes he committed before he was President, as he’s appealed the findings in the E. Jean Carroll defamation/rape case on the basis of presidential immunity.

To be completely accurate, what he is claiming is that he is immune from civil suit for the defamatory statements he made about Carroll while he was President. Trump of course helpfully repeated those defamatory statements recently, allowing her to sue him for defamation again and eliminating any immunity defense he was claiming.

I guess he hasn’t seen Paddington Station in London, or Gare du Nord in Paris, near Christmas, because they’re actually worse. I think passenger train expansion in the US is a great idea, but it’s not a unicorn farting perfume atop a rainbow.
Dude actually picked the worst time to try this argument, because the Eurotunnel workers went on strike yesterday with no warning, which means no Eurostar trains and no car shuttle service. It was a complete zoo, on one of the heaviest travel days of the year and for lots of people with small kids. So thousands of people were stuck overnight with nowhere to go, and unlike airlines, the train companies absolutely will not put you up in a hotel or give you meal vouchers or anything like that.

No, I know. The finding was under New York’s new law, which allows a civil suit for sexual assault and rape for acts that occurred past the statute of limitations, IIRC. I know he complained bitterly about that finding because the jury didn’t find what he did met the criminal definition of rape.

Having multiple modes of travel, distributes them better. HSR is able to move more people faster in intracity travel, especially between city center to city center. It works quite well in Japan, Europe (excluding current strike), and along the NEC in the US. Penn Station is still a mess, but it’s also the busiest rail station in the US and Western Hemisphere.

Israel has even published an annotated version of it. Which is more than Germany has done to date.
Any annotated version should simply show what happened to Germany over the course of WW2 and include Hitler’s last will and testament where he states that the German People deserve to be exterminated because they were unable to fulfill his racial ideology and plans for domination of all Europe.

And then they said if you think it can’t happen here they showed the films of the Nazi rally in Madison Square Garden and the MGM films made to attack the 1934 California Democratic Candidate Upton Sinclair.

There’s a Second Sex Video featuring Little Miss Mom For Liberty Bridget!
Cops recover second sex video involving scandal-plagued Moms for Liberty leader: report
Police have reportedly recovered a second sex video involving Bridget Ziegler, a leader of the Moms for Liberty group that is dedicated to banning books that purportedly contain sexually explicit content from schools.
The Florida Trident reports that police recovered the video while investigating rape accusations against her husband, Christian Ziegler, who earlier this month was suspended from his role as Florida Republican Party chairman.
Sources tell the Florida Trident that the new video involves the Moms for Liberty leader “engaging in sexual relations with a woman,” although it’s not known at this point whether it’s with the same woman who accused her husband of raping her.
“In response to a specific public record request for that video, the Sarasota Police Department on Thursday asserted the video was exempt from disclosure due to the ongoing criminal investigation,” writes the Trident. “The video, according to sources, was obtained by police after a search warrant was executed on Christian Ziegler’s cell phone and Google account in November to recover evidence in connection with the alleged rape.”

We’ve already established that these kinds of Christians don’t care about hypocrisy, so it doesn’t matter as far as their electability. Aside from cases of rape or other criminal activity, I’m happy to leave them to do whoever they want, however they want. I’d prefer they extend me the same courtesy, but with Republicans, I’m not holding my breath.
No.
When Mom’s For Liberty openly attack LGBTQ+ people and ban books for what they say is “unchristian content” It IS Fair Game to expose them when they commit the same acts in private that they go out of their way to denounce in public.
I’m thinking of all the LGBTQ+ people these phony-ass Xtians have hurt and those driven to suicide by their Xtian hate.
re: #37 Targetpractice
The crux of his entire bit is this part right here:
The whole thing’s a long-winded version of the “They must a’ got to him” conspiracy theory. That bit that wingnuts love to hold onto to explain how their worldview can be so at odds with the way things play out, that court cases that don’t go the way they expected them to means that “somebody” must have “got to” the judge or the jury. A bill didn’t pass and their favorite politician(s) voted against it? “Somebody got to them.” So on and so forth, which is how you wind up with elaborate conspiracies about massive shadowy cabals that control everything and why nothing goes the way you expected it to, because they have plans that contradict yours and will expend ginormous resources to achieve them at your expense.
Hence how some horny old goat who chose to exploit the time away from his wife to get his dick wet and tried to hump anything that stayed still long enough like a drunk teen on Spring Break in Cancun magically becomes the helpless victim of a “honey pot” who “just happened” to wind up on camera in bed with a total stranger.

I guess he hasn’t seen Paddington Station in London, or Gare du Nord in Paris, near Christmas, because they’re actually worse. I think passenger train expansion in the US is a great idea, but it’s not a unicorn farting perfume atop a rainbow.
Dude actually picked the worst time to try this argument, because the Eurotunnel workers went on strike yesterday with no warning, which means no Eurostar trains and no car shuttle service. It was a complete zoo, on one of the heaviest travel days of the year and for lots of people with small kids. So thousands of people were stuck overnight with nowhere to go, and unlike airlines, the train companies absolutely will not put you up in a hotel or give you meal vouchers or anything like that.
Comparing Europe and North America in terms of rail travel is a bit of a fool’s errand. The distance scales are totally different. And though both have rail networks the European one has stayed focused on passenger service while the North American side has gone over to freight as a priority.*
And with the US population distribution the main place high-speed rail would be economically feasible is the East Coast corridor of large cities. Which is exactly the same place where the infrastructure cost of replacing/upgrading rail and eliminating at-grade crossing issues would be the most expensive. Building high-speed rail to cross the country would be cheaper to do obviously, but I expect is not economically feasible without extensive federal and/or state subsidies, which are not forthcoming. And even with higher speeds air travel will probably be faster, especially for a East Coast to West Coast hop. (A distance that someone in Europe would probably fly as well.)
* - And after barge/ship rail is still the cheapest way to move stuff. A lot goes by truck, but that is often mixed cargo or short haul from a terminal. And the US highway and truck transportation industry got heavily subsidized in its infancy in order to be competitive with rail and develop the necessary infrastructure. Much as rail was heavily subsidized in the 1800s as it replaced canals and developed its infrastructure.

And those people are generating a lot less CO2 per mile travelled than the folks at any airport
Yes. The argument that “airports are packed, therefore trains” is dumb, though.
One problem in Europe is that trains are often just as expensive if not more expensive than the equivalent flight. One big contributor to this is the fact that commercial aviation fuel is not taxed in Europe. At all. And all the equivalent train services, such as power, rail usage fees, and all that are fully taxable. Way to encourage green travel, guys.
It’s not surprising, but still shocking, that 42% of likely GOP Iowa Caucus goers like Nazi rhetoric. Only 28% said that Trump parroting Hitler made them less likely to vote for him.

I get where you’re coming from, but it doesn’t do anything. Originally, it was seen as scandalous, and yes, I know the guy got smote in the FL GOP for the rape allegations. But the Christofascists will simply claim that “it’s in the past,” that they’re “covered by the blood,” and that everyone should move on and forget about it because “that’s what Jesus would do.” If exposing them actually had any meaningful consequences for their positions of power - again, excepting the criminal allegations, which are the only thing that seemingly bear fruit - then I’d be far more willing to excoriate these hypocrites for their indulgences.

Honestly, we need both types: passenger in dense areas as you propose as well as electric transcontinental freight rail. I’d love to see Congress creating some new rights of way for that. Three corridors coast to coast and three Mexico to Canada would be a good start.

So apparently, the perp from yesterday’s massacre in Prague was also responsible for a shooting incident last week in the forest around the small town of Klánovice, in which a 32-year-old man and his two-month-old infant daughter were shot dead in broad daylight while out for a walk in the woods.
As it was suggested by police last night, last week’s Klánovice double homicide was a dress rehearsal for yesterday’s shooting rampage in Prague.

I believe that about 90% (I can’t find the exact number because Google is broken) of all rail use in the USA is freight, and freighters get track priority over passenger trains.

He’s focused on Fetterman as a local guy. On Dec. 6, he focused on women, in Common Dreams. But not on Post-Roe politics. He writes as though the Women’s Movement started and ended with the Pussy March, and he can’t even spell out ‘pussy’. He looks like a Horse Race promoter.

She [Vicki Miller, the group leader of Indivisible Philadelphia] also believes talking to voters about the things that affect them personally, like reproductive rights or, if done the right way, the economy, is most important — more so than hyping the Trumpian threat to democracy.
Maybe. But with only 11 months to go, this feels like the political crisis of our lifetimes, and I can’t stop wondering if there is more to be done before Election Day.
