And in light of this failure, MTG went to the press to explain that her colleagues were not all convinced about the seriousness of the charges against Mayorkas…nah, just kidding, she’s accusing them of being bribed/blackmailed:
‘They’re being bribed’: Marjorie Taylor Greene conjures theory on failed impeachment vote https://t.co/e5Jwu3LPhk
— Raw Story (@RawStory) February 7, 2024
“Marjorie, do you think these people are being blackmailed by the intel agencies?” he wondered. “They might have had relations with certain people and pictures and [are] compromised. Do you think that they’re currently being blackmailed?”
Greene admitted she had “no proof of that.”
“But I, again, I can’t understand the vote, so nothing surprises me in Washington, D.C. anymore, Charlie,” she remarked. “Literally nothing surprises me because it doesn’t make sense to anyone, right?”
“Why would anyone protect Mayorkas unless they’re being bribed, unless there’s something going on, unless they’re making a deal?” Greene added. “You know, because you can’t understand it. It makes no sense.”

Yep. Dead is dead. Was happy to talk about him when he was alive. Same goes for Limbaugh, Breitbart, and one day Trump…but he’s still alive so fuck him.
Remember last week or 10 days ago, when a father of a player on a girls JV basketball team in Utah claimed a girl on the opposite team was transgender? And he had to be escorted off campus?
Well, now we have one of the Utah state school board members saying the same thing about another teenage basketball player, to the point that the school district is now providing the girl with police protection.
Utah school board member Natalie Cline questions high school athlete’s gender, causing social media uproar
Republican Rep. Kera Birkeland, who led the charge against transgender girls competing in Utah high school sports, also weighed in.
A Utah high school student needs police protection after a state school board member publicly singled out and suggested the student was transgender — without evidence — inciting threats from her followers on social media.
Natalie Cline later apologized — but not before many commenters personally attacked the player, the student’s school district had to provide extra security for her, and the lawmaker who wrote the state’s anti-transgender athlete bill weighed in sharing private information possibly in violation of her own measure.
Cline later removed the offensive post but the damage was done. The governor and lieutenant governor called her out.
I had someone call me a man yesterday on the birdsite hellscape. I noted that I was assigned female at birth. But I think we’re going to see a lot of this shit now.
I’ll never forget the day I introduced my wife to Mojo’s show…we were visiting my family for Xmas, and we left the morning after to go skiing in Tahoe…as we were driving down the road his show started and I said, “This is Mojo Nixon…he’s funny.” and his show started with something along the following:
“FRIENDS…(he always prefaced things with FRIENDS), Christmas is over…so I only have one thing to say to everyone who came to see me…GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE!” He went on for five minutes…we laughed so hard we almost cried.
Spent some of today reading LGF in my Apple Vision Pro. So easy to find a size that makes reading easy. And I can throw my hand up to scroll the page up. All doing it while apparently sitting on the side of a lake overlooking Mt. Hood. Immersive mode is awesome. I got to sit in on a rehearsal by Alicia Keyes that was really personal. And a scary as hell even while it was beautiful highliner walking a line across a 3500 foot cliff in Norway. I’m looking forward to the NBA, MLB and MLS apps for watching sports. I htink live events may well be the killer app. How much would people pay for a private concert with Taylor Swift on her Eras tour. $3500?
Supposedly IMAX is working with Apple to provide IMAX formatted movies. In 3D!
Movies made in 3D - Avatar - hold up really well. Post conversion 3D, on the other hand, looks much faker than expected. Still good it but not as immersive as fully realized 3D. Going to take video of my granddaughter this weekend and hope it comes out well.
But one interesting thing - your eye serves as the pointer, so anything that is selectible that you focus on lights up. So, as you read if your eye secades a little over the LGF page, all sorts of things get highlighted. Did not realize so much of the pager had selectible elements. I had to keep my eyes centered.
I’ve had no real problems with the weight of the headset. Having a demo at Apple helped because they gave a few hints on how to get a good fit. So over 2.5 hours at a time and I feel fine.

The late Christopher Hitchens would say “no time like the present!” Even for himself.
(When Thatcher died of the same dementia she governed with, the eulogies were glorious!)
Earlier today, I said something kind of stupid about the kraken who torched some books with her home made flamethrower. I got called out for it, and that’s fine since I am not infallible. (You don’t have to be so quick to agree, though/).
It occurred to me that if I had posted something equally dumb (though not the same thing) on, say, Free Republic, I probably would have gotten away with it. This leads to a darker place, my thoughts on some of the reasons I remained a Republican for as long as I did. Why do intelligent people still adhere to that morally and intellectually bankrupt farce? Part of the reason, and I don’t like to admit that it ever affected me, is that it is much easier to be the smartest guy in the room when you are surrounded by idiots. With a mob of lefties it is next to impossible. You have to get used to being around people who are as smart as you are. I thought this consciously, in fact, when I made the decision to break for good with the GOP and conservative America. Part of it was just the realization that these people were idiots and I was kidding myself trying to pretend they weren’t.
I had just fell into the sleep of the just and righteous when I got a page to join a line.

By personal experience, I would suggest that any decisions you make about your life direction while lying in bed at 3:30 AM are best forgotten. You may come to the right conclusion but it’s the worst place and time to think about it.

What, sexism on the internet? Oh, I’d say that ship has long since sailed, circumnavigated the globe, and returned to port laden with exotic spices.
Honestly, the same could be argued is the case with school sports leagues and parents accusing players of being ringers of one sort or the other. I remember there being a period where any sportsball team with a dark-skinned player that was taller or stronger than his peers might face accusations of recruiting teens and then fudging the paperwork to get past age-restrictions. It’s Tally Poppy Syndrome meets Sour Grapes, with white suburban helicopter parents trying to excuse their kids falling short of expectations by (what else?) accusing the other side of cheating.

Getting very strong “Even if Comey doesn’t charge her, it’ll still be very bad for Hillary!” vibes from the Beltway over the news that Biden won’t be criminally charged over a few documents found in a box in his garage. Instead, I’m supposed to believe that the biggest “scandal” he now faces is people seeing the pictures which supposedly will be on par with the knowledge that Trump had boxes full of national secrets stuffed in a gaudy AF bathroom or sitting on a stage where anybody could walk up and leaf through them.

Pension? What’s a pension? I’ll get my social security whatever it actually amounts to and maybe a spot in one of the three Old Soldier’s Homes here in Wisconsin when I can no longer work and waddle up and down the stairs to my apartment.
I don’t know what I did or said in my laptop’s presence that led to this result, but apparently the Win 11 widget bar decided I’m a closeted “moderate” Republican because it keeps feeding me a steady diet of “very serious” articles from The Hill and Politico mixed up with Faux and the Moonie Times telling me Biden’s worse than Nixon and Carter combined and he’s gonna rot in Gitmo forever when Our Glorious God-Emperor returns to the Golden Throne.

No, it’s not that. It’s that the media puts out a steady diet of those articles, and MSN is just dutifully repeating what everybody else is saying.
re: #39 William Lewis
I’m sensing a bit of irony here maybe?
This will only get worse.
Single mom Caitlyn Colbert watched as rent for her two-bedroom apartment doubled, then tripled and then quadrupled over a decade in Denver — from $750 to $3,374 last year.
Every month, like millions of Americans, Colbert juggled her costs. Pay rent or swim team fees for one of her three kids. Rent or school supplies. Rent or groceries. Colbert, a social worker who helps people stay financially afloat, would often arrive home to notices giving her 30 days to pay rent and a late fee or face eviction.
“Every month you just gotta budget and then you still fall short,” she said, adding what became a monthly refrain: “Well, this month at least we have $13 left.”
Millions of Americans, especially people of color, are facing those same, painful decisions as a record number struggle with unaffordable rent increases, a crisis fueled by rising prices from inflation, a shortage of affordable housing and the end of pandemic relief.

Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet…
Andrew Dice Clay doesn’t do anything halfway. Even his diner breakfast order is taken to the limits of edibility.
“Three scrambled eggs, kind of well done. The hash browns, just burn ‘em. Wheat toast, annihilate it,” he instructs the waiter at Madison Restaurant in Manhattan’s Midtown East while dangling an unlit Marlboro Light — the comedian quit smoking in 2017 — from his hand.
It’s a cheat meal for Dice, who’s getting in shape for his stand-up show at Carnegie Hall on Feb. 15 — a triumphant return for the comic, who, back in 1990, famously sold out Madison Square Garden two nights in a row.
“I shrink and shred,” Dice, who grew up Jewish in Sheepshead Bay, informed me of his physique. “I shred like a Jewish guy, not as an Italian. Jewish people don’t get ripped.”
As a foul-mouthed Mother Goose in a black leather jacket — “Hickory dickory dock” goes a signature routine; we can’t print the rest — Dice (né Andrew Silverstein) reinvented stand-up in the late 1980s and early ’90s.

The nursery rhymes are what he is remembered for. I thought his imitations of various celebrities was better material since it wasn’t all based on being crude.
And I also like Denis Leary more since he appeared to be able to move beyond being dependent on an asshole stage persona.

Even Moms for Liberty Are Tired of Moms for Liberty
A Pennsylvania chapter dwindled from 200 members to three, who decided to disband—and no one stepped up to take over.
The last three members of the Lehigh County chapter of Moms for Liberty met on Tuesday at the Starbrite Diner in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
The membership had dwindled from a high of 200 in the feverish days of 2020, when Janine Vicalvi first formed this local branch of what the Southern Poverty Law Center describes as an extremist hate group that grew out of heedless opposition to COVID mask and vaccine mandates.
She decided she had reached an end point.
“Between homeschooling and working two jobs, it’s just a lot,” she said. “And I guess there wasn’t as much willingness to do the work that’s required to propel the movement forward.”
The other two at the meeting felt the same and they voted unanimously to dissolve the chapter. She posted an announcement on the group’s Facebook page:
“So we had our meeting this evening and are going to dissolve our chapter.”
We can hope that the whole organization collapses under the weight of its own monstrousness. But a chapter-by-chapter dissolution would also be welcome.
Among those cheering the disappearance of the Lehigh County chapter was Jennifer Jenkins, a school board member in Brevard County, Florida, who was harassed, vilified, slandered and generally terrorized by Moms for Liberty for her science-based approach to the pandemic.
“Another one bites the dust,” Jenkins posted.

I seem to recall some stand-up comedy special where Paul Rodriguez* was one of the early performers. And at that point I am pretty sure he was mainly an insult comic. And he starts in on Martin Mull who is one of the comedians there. Refers to him as “the Hitler Youth Poster Child” and so forth. Nothing particularly good IMO. And Mull just sits there and stoically takes it - which fits how Mull did things anyways.
I don’t recall if Mull actually retaliated in any way. And he didn’t have to since two other comedians there were Billy Crystal and Robin Williams. And they proceeded to rip on Rodriquez cleverly and repeatedly during most of the show. I don’t know if there is any sort of unwritten rule about stand-up performers not ripping on other performers, but I had the impression there was and that Rodriquez had crossed that line.
* - Not 100% sure it was Paul Rodriquez, but pretty sure it was.

Washington Times: retailers flee cities because of high crime. Bulkshit.
Oh, so crime’s so bad that retailers are fleeing? It has nothing to do with brick and mortar businesses losing more and more ground to online retailers (or even online divisions of the brick and mortar businesses). This is the ongoing claim that crime is spiraling out of control that has no basis in reality as crime is down from a few years ago, and far from a hellscape, crime is at or near historic multidecade lows in much of the country.
GOP and right wingers keep fearmongering about crime, immigration, and the economy, in defiance of facts and reality. Right wing propagandists keep trying to spin good news about the economy and crime as though those don’t exist.
Even the NRF has admitted that they’ve oversold the narrative that crime is causing businesses to flee.

Ah Boris Manchin decides to chime in.
Manchin slams MAGA Republicans for tanking bipartisan border deal: ‘Politics rears its ugly head’
Far-right House speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) has declared that if a bipartisan deal in the U.S. Senate tying enhanced security at the U.S./Mexico border to military aid to Ukraine goes to the U.S. House of Representatives for consideration, it will be “dead on arrival.” But the deal, much to the frustration of centrist Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Arizona), hasn’t gotten that far — and has collapsed in the U.S. Senate.
Another centrist senator who is quite frustrated by the bill’s fate is West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin. During a Wednesday, February 7 appearance on CNN, Manchin described its collapse as a prime example of the dysfunction in U.S. politics.
Manchin told CNN’s Jake Tapper, “What we saw on the floor today of the United States Senate…. This reaffirms why I did not run for reelection. Because I have come to the conclusion that we’re not going to fix the political posturing in Washington here in Congress from Washington. It will be fixed from outside of Washington.

And he starts in on Martin Mull who is one of the comedians there. Refers to him as “the Hitler Youth Poster Child” and so forth. Nothing particularly good IMO.

I don’t recall if Mull actually retaliated in any way. And he didn’t have to since two other comedians there were Billy Crystal and Robin Williams. And they proceeded to rip on Rodriquez cleverly and repeatedly during most of the show. I don’t know if there is any sort of unwritten rule about stand-up performers not ripping on other performers, but I had the impression there was and that Rodriquez had crossed that line.

The upside of this vote is that Donald Trump is now a happy man. The downside is that he probably won’t like the resulting Democratic ads saying that he personally blocked the best chance at improving border security in decades because he wanted a campaign issue, not a solution.

Found it and it was Paul Rodriquez, It was supposed to be a roast at the Improv but Rodriquez went a little bit over the line with the Hitler comment and how jews run Hollywood, with some anti-Muslim stuff thrown in.

When it comes to Blazing Saddles, I can recall Mel Brooks noting that he was frequently tussling with studio bigwigs over some of the content in the film. Stuff like the execs saying, “You can’t say that in a film!” or “This is way too controversial for a mainstream release!” and suggesting that the screenplay he and Richard Pryor wrote needed to be toned down.
When people say you could never make a film like Blazing Saddles today, bear in mind that Mel Brooks was having quite a difficult time of it back in 1974.

Florida Supreme Court Hears Arguments on Abortion Initiative
Yesterday, both sides gave their oral arguments before the Court, where all the members are Republican appointees. Five of them were appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL). A number of the justices felt that the language in the initiative and the summary offered to voters is not clear and doesn’t make it obvious that the purpose of the initiative is to protect abortion rights. Others said that the legal ramifications were not spelled out clearly. One point that came up several times is that there is no hard number in there for fetal viability, so the initiative is ambiguous because experts disagree on when a fetus is viable. It might have been better if the initiative had simply stated all abortions up to the 24th week of pregnancy are legal, but it didn’t.
The problem in a nutshell
Italics vs bold
Because there is no one number/date certain when a specific fetus is viable.
No two pregnancies are the same

Head East LLC, a company registered in Bismarck with the North Dakota Secretary of State’s office on July 24, made the donation to Best of America PAC on Aug. 8, according to campaign finance records. The complaint lodged with the Federal Election Commission alleges that the company appears to have been set up with the intent to disguise the source of the funding.

The local sledding hill is pretty lonely this year ☹
[Embedded content]
The sledding hill where I grew up in northern NY was essentially a narrow and cleared place on the bluff of the nearby river that was reached by crossing a road at the bottom of the development on the edge of the village and then crossing a couple of abandoned farm plots* via a well worn path.
In my mid-teens it got ruined. Once a few kids in the neighborhood got a little older and took to dirt bikes it was a favored place to go. And they wore a massive rut in the middle of it that pretty much ruined it for sledding in the winter.
* - I presumed the area was former farm and not pasture since it was edged by the low stone walls from farmers dumping rocks at the edge of a field. And was relatively clear terrain. Older trees running parallel to the walls while the more open area was slowly being reclaimed by crabapple, thornapple, and pine trees. By now I think the creeping development that was coming out of the village on that side of the main road might have reached up to that point. Then again, the 2008 recession and ALCOA closing down their plant in the area pretty much crashed the local economy there.
We grew up not far from Lake Michigan and there were a number of sand dunes that we used as sledding hills.
Thomas wants to talk about whether S-3 is “self executing.” The conservative argument here is that Congress has to pass a law implementing section 3, as opposed to it just being a thing.

People should not be letting their dogs be roaming around loose like that. Dogs will act like dogs, and even with direct human supervision can decide they are going to do something otherwise unexpected.
My brother had repeated incidents with a neighbor’s dog coming up the road and decimating his chicken flock. My brother was not angry at the dog, since it was being a dog. He was angry at the owner for not having the dog properly restrained and also flaunting/dodging multiple orders from a local magistrate to do so. Though I suspect that his patience with the situation was near its end and the next time the dog appeared on his property was going to be its last.

“…Those votes came in the second impeachment of Trump, in January and February of 2021, in which majorities of both the House and the Senate backed an article of impeachment against Trump for “incitement of insurrection.”
This was a finding of fact, by majorities of our elected representatives, after a full public trial in which Trump was able to mount a defense — and it should be deemed persuasive, if not conclusive, in answering the factual questions before the Supreme Court. Indeed, for the more right-wing justices, who are often fond of pontificating that courts should not make policy judgments and should instead defer to legislatures, one would think that such a clear public pronouncement from Congress on Trump’s engagement in insurrection would be a compelling precedent.”

Jeff Tiedrich: Republicans were fucking pissed off and stamped their feet and said that somehow it wasn’t fair of the Democrats to have more votes.
MTG: “they hid one of their members, waiting til the last minute, watching to see our votes, trying to throw us off on the numbers that we had.”

I think it’s pretty clear that the original intent of the Constitution was that states can disobey the federal government when they want to murder people at their border, but states do NOT have the authority to bar an insurrectionist from running for President.

You’re right, but the problem is that it seems like we’re constantly fighting an uphill battle. We have an idea, and then it gets blown up by some Trumperrhoid asshole somewhere who decides that government doesn’t work that way, specifically when applied to Trump. It’s discouraging for every single attempt to get rid of him to get shot down, even if they are long shots in the first place.

He will be on the ballots. His people will be summoned to go and prove their patriotism by defending the integrity of the Electoral System against their perceived threat: the Democratic Party.
They will be carrying weapons as this is not only allowed by law, with widespread open/closed-carry laws and Stand Your Ground legislation in place, it is being activel encouraged by the GOP and its leader.
Crazy, ideologically zealous and easily aroused people with guns near polling places looking for anything they find “irregular” or “suspicious”.
I fear it will get ugly.

Reporter Shot in Ukraine: No, Tucker. That’s Not How You Cover the War
Emil Filtenborg in Daily Beast
Tucker Carlson claims he’s the only journalist bothering to report the truth about Ukraine. A real war reporter explains why his phony interview with Putin will do no such thing.
Three days into Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, I was bleeding out on a muddy lawn in front of a small salmon-colored house in Akhtyrka, north eastern Ukraine. I had been shot four times, two in the legs, one in the back and one in the left butt-cheek. My colleague Stefan Weichert, who had been shot in the shoulder, was trying quite desperately to save my life.
I’m telling you about this now because I was transported back to that moment when Tucker Carlson-the fired Fox News host—claimed he was a journalist swooping in to finally deliver “the truth” about what was happening in Ukraine via his interview with President Vladimir Putin.
“Here’s why we’re doing it,” Carlson explained in a video posted on X. “First, because it’s our job. We’re in journalism. Our duty is to inform people. Two years into a war that’s reshaping the entire world, most Americans are not informed.”
I’m sorry to tell you, Mr. Carlson, but Stefan and I were on the ground in Ukraine before this war even began, informing Daily Beast readers exactly what was going on. Thousands of other foreign correspondents have been doing exactly the same thing, informing Americans and the rest of the world all about Putin’s iniquitous invasion…
re: #182 FFL (GOP Delenda Est)
My brother had repeated incidents with a neighbor’s dog coming up the road and decimating his chicken flock. My brother was not angry at the dog, since it was being a dog. He was angry at the owner for not having the dog properly restrained and also flaunting/dodging multiple orders from a local magistrate to do so. Though I suspect that his patience with the situation was near its end and the next time the dog appeared on his property was going to be its last.
We have a neighbor who used to let his German Shepherds run loose. I heard them kill a doe down the road and caught them nibbling at it. He refused to believe me. His dogs disappeared a week later. Not me, but that was before I had grandkids running around. Now, it might be me.

Kevin Feige, who head’s Marvel’s movie development at Disney, says one of the things that they do with the movies is something a Pixar story developer told him: Heroes don’t get lucky.

One of the reasons Infinity War was so powerful was that the heroes _lost_. It took until Endgame, and even then it wasn’t without serious cost, for the heroes to pull it back together.

Tulsi Gabbard says she’s ‘open’ to being Trump’s VP
During an appearance on Fox News this Wednesday, Tulsi Gabbard said she’d be “open” to being Donald Trump’s 2024 running mate.
“I’d be open to that conversation,” Gabbard said on Fox & Friends. “My mission in life is to serve our country and serve the American people and find the best way to be able to do that.”
Gabbard was asked to respond to a comment from economist Stephen Moore, who said that many Trump supporters want Gabbard as Trump’s vice president.

Living in Hayward then and seeing nominal “Democrats”, especially the women, buying into the Faux hate of her, I had already presumed he’d be the winner once she became the nominee. I was actually surprised by how close the result was.
It was similar last election here in Wisconsin when the Dems ran a black man from Milwaukee against Moscow Ron. No matter how corrupt he is and how much he’s owned by Putin, the simple reality of racism _AND_ Milwaukee stereotyping guaranteed he could not win a statewide race. I just about puked when the primary was over.
re: #242 jaunte
It seems clear that according to this utterly and continually corrupt SCOTUS that 14th Amendment Sec 3. Is unenforceable in its entirety because there exists no entity to decide that an insurrection has taken place.
The Amendment makes no mention of process of determination or even a basic definition of “Insurrection” so this Calvinball Court can play Federalist Society favorites all they want.
But watch as this “court” simply and quietly steps aside as Trump proceeds to trample over any and all Constitutional roadblocks in the process of remaking this country that still resonates with dreams of a re-doing of the Civil War into a post-Confederate hellscape.

The fact that Johnson beat Feingold TWICE was puke-inducing enough for me.
And speaking of puke-inducing—this on so many levels:
● OH-Sen: Politico reports that two major Republican groups have reserved almost $83 million in fall TV time for Ohio’s Senate race, with the Senate Leadership Fund putting in $57.5 million and American Crossroads adding $25 million. Their Democratic counterparts have yet to announce bookings to aid Sen. Sherrod Brown, but the state will be a top battleground this fall.
First, though, Republicans must make it through a three-way primary that’s fast approaching on March 5. AdImpact reports that the Club for Growth just launched an $840,000 buy on behalf of businessman Bernie Moreno, touting him as Donald Trump’s choice. A narrator concludes the spot in unusually personal terms, saying, “It’s important to Trump: Vote Bernie Moreno.”
Been trying to figure out how to present this one. Saw it while driving through the the nearby cemetery that sledding hill is next to. It made me think of Ernest Hemingway’s … famous? Infamous? super short story about the unused shoes.
It could be a trigger for some. Behind the tag.

They identified one way; Trump would have to be convicted of insurrection in a criminal trial. Jack Smith chose not to indict Trump for insurrection; I don’t know if he will consider amending his complaint to add an insurrection charge based on the Justices’ questions.

If ever there was a cause for which the House should use a bypass petition, getting aid to Ukraine is it. There is no reason not to, except that Trump and Putin want it blocked.
re: #292 Captain Ron
Trump: I think it was an insurrection caused by Nancy Pelosi.
Which is another aspect of the SCOTUS ruling: it would open a big can o’ worms and would the GOP to claim that insisting on abiding by the results of a free and fair election somehow constitutes an “insurrection”.

So once again the 10th Amendment “powers reserved…” means anything this Calvinball court decides what it means as either Republicans or Democrats are the main petitioners.
There is nothing in the Constitution regarding the ability to declare an insurrection by the Federal Govt or by individual states. So that power is reserved for states. -Except in this particular case…the one where Federalist Society wet dreams of complete domination and victory over the US are finally at hand.
