For some reason Fox News predicting Revolution sounds good to me. I take it as just threatening words attempting to influence the judge.
Trump IMO needs to sit in the slammer at least a year and include a hefty dollar fine as well.

Threatening the judge after having a string of Republicans threaten his daughter doesn’t seem to be a good strategy for a lenient sentence.

New York Tosses Rep. Stefanik’s Trump Court Complaint in Bank Fraud Civil Suit
A long-shot MAGA political stunt to personally interfere with the judge who ultimately found Donald Trump liable for bank fraud fizzled out quietly months ago, according to a state document marked “confidential” obtained by The Daily Beast.
New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur F. Engoron and his law clerk, Allison Greenfield, were cleared by a state commission of allegations of “inappropriate bias and judicial intemperance.”
The decision appears to have caught by surprise the Republican congresswoman who filed the complaint. Asked on Monday about its dismissal, staff for Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) responded by demanding to know on what basis The Daily Beast could assert the complaint went nowhere. Stefanik’s executive director, Alex DeGrasse, did not say whether the congresswoman had received a copy of the decision. After this story was published, DeGrasse told The Daily Beast in a statement, “New York’s court system is partisan, corrupt, and rigged. Chairwoman Elise Stefanik and House Republicans will continue to expose the blatant illegal lawfare and weaponization of the government and courts against President Trump.”
During Trump’s bank fraud trial last year, the former president employed allies to engage in bad faith attacks on Engoron and Greenfield. The most prominent was an ethics complaint filed by Stefanik to the state’s judicial commission, describing “serious concerns about … inappropriate bias and judicial intemperance shown”.
Although nearly all such complaints are filed and processed in secret, Stefanik announced the accusation on X in November, in what was largely seen as an attempt to get in Trump’s good graces and elevate her profile while the presumptive Republican presidential nominee narrows down his list of candidates for vice president.
On March 14, the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct chucked out Stefanik’s accusation. The legal process typically takes place behind closed doors, but The Daily Beast acquired a copy of the decision.
“The commission dismissed the complaint, having found no basis on the facts presented to commence an investigation,” wrote Robert H. Tembeckjian, the commission administrator and counsel.
As a result, Trump won’t have some of the extra ammunition he was hoping for as he seeks to appeal the half-billion-dollar judgment hanging over his real estate portfolio in New York and beyond.
re: #33 teleskiguy
I stopped at the one west of Katy on I-10 to have a look. It’s just an overinflated convenience store, made inconvenient by how far you have to walk from the pumps to get anything inside.

Buc-ees is a giant gas station/convenience store. Think giant truck stop for everyone but trucks. Without going in, take a look at the pictures from the Terrell store:
One great thing is that the restroom itself is the size of some gas stations and is kept pretty clean.

It’s actually a big ass gas station / food court kind of deal.
Snow is in the forecast for points above 10,000 ft. around these parts.
On a camping trip above Trapper’s Lake in Colorado back on the 4th of July 1996 we woke up to six inches of snow on the ground and on our not-quite-but-close collapsed tent. I’ve seen it snow on the 4th of July.

Of course it is. When I go to one I can find a gas pump pretty easily, not stand in line for a stall in the restroom because there are so many and they are kept clean, and I can get drinks, toffee, jerky, barbecue or turkey sandwiches, large breakfast burritos, honey covered roasted almonds, and walk through a bunch of cast iron cookware, and store merchandise.
I actually don’t visit the one near me very often, but they offer the same experience you get when you go to Walmart, Target, or other chains: When you go in, you know what you’ll get and you can be pretty sure that when you walk in to find something it will be there.

Shared, all over the place!
Probably just me, but is anyone else sick of hearing how “polarized” the US is right now? IMO, it’s a quasi-political science, bullshit way of normalizing how off-the-rails Republicans/conservatives are by bothsiding everything.
And it’s not the “electorate”, it’s my fellow white folks who either have their heads up Trump’s ass; or “independent” white folks who consider fence-sitting a brave political choice, because they are so fucking scared of making an informed decision.
The informed decision being “Voting a convicted felon and rapist into the White House is a stupid fucking idea.”
Thanking for coming to my TED Talk. Now get the hell out.
During our dinner discussion tonight, one person suggested that if Trump were forced to drop out (e.g. because he was hit by lightning), then Nikki Haley would get the nomination and trounce Biden. Some of us don’t think that the GOP would ever nominate a woman of color but I know people who were fond of her (Republican lite who are not supporters of Trump). However, another topic of concern was what if Biden wins an overwhelming victory in the popular vote but loses the EC. What would the reaction be? Would there be violence? We know from Bush 43 behavior that Trump would see no reason to cooperate with Democrats; an election win is a win. But give the stakes here, I don’t know that the system can survive such a result. Of course, a Trump victory would end our system anyway.

It really gives one a sense of what the primordial Earth was like as it was forming.

And if the media ever did their due diligence in reporting on Nikki Haley, it would be a blowout of epic proportions in Biden’s favor

I fully agree a Trump victory would be the end of our Democracy. I don’t see these foolish, radical Republicans changing to stop what would be great loss for the world. In that event IMO there would be no going back to what we had.
Abput that appeal to black voters:
Anecdotal, but callers into Black radio today are NOT HAPPY that Trump can run for office - for PRESIDENT - when people in our community can’t get jobs, loans, housing and CAN’T VOTE when they have a felony record:”he’s rich & not Black, so the system is rigged for him.” Welp.

re: #67 teleskiguy
I don’t like using the word “faith” either, but I’m reasonably sure that 34 felony convictions are likely a bridge too far for the fence-sitters, most of them being the independent voter bloc.
The majority of GOP voters are a lost cause at this point, but even there, I’m also reasonably sure that if there were any of them looking for an excuse to stay home on November 5th, or maybe just leave the POTUS section of their ballots blank (or write someone else in), well….now they have their justification for doing so. I’m looking at Nikki Haley’s voters on that score.

I presume the flag you describe is this one. (continues after image)
The flag was designed in the late XIX Century to represent Christendom. (It is not used in Catholic and Orthodox churches.) It was adopted for use officially by the now-named National Council of Churches in 1942.
It has been co-opted by Christian Nationalists, and was prominently displayed during the attack on the Capitol.
If the person has it over the US Flag, the person is a Christian Nationalist. (Moreover, according to the Flag Code, no flag may be flown from the same staff as the US Flag except those of subordinate government bodies and a small list of others like the POW/MIA flag. No flag should ever be flown above the US Flag.)
You have a person declaring Christianity as over the nation, or a person who really doesn’t understand how either flag is supposed to be displayed.
re: #73 teleskiguy
I am old. 76, in fact. In 2016, I could not believe this country would vote for such an idiotic joke as TFG. Of course, Hillary won the popular vote, and lost the EC because of only a few votes in the wrong places, and horrific head winds of Russia-Russia-Russia, decades of hateful misinformation about her, and James Comey. I nearly had a stroke that night, thinking of what TFG might do in office. I never slept normally again.
In 2020, I was still scared spitless, because who knew what trickery there was on the right. And now, I am still scared, because we KNOW some of the trickery there is happening on the right. That doesn’t mean I run around screaming, but I subscribe to as many sources of information that I can afford, and try to let my feelings be known online. Stay connected with friends who have the same fear and fury that I have. And read LGF.

I’m officially “an old” since I just turned sixty-four and my wife is still feeding me.
I am not catastrophising. I’m not real hopeful about my state being flipped Blue, but I do see some more Republicans in the Unicameral taking a powder.
Nationwide, nearly every special election since Roe was struck down has seen Republicans lose. Klanned Karenhood (Moms for Liberty) are now outed as what they really are and are being hounded from any office they won.
While the election isn’t over until November 5, I’m fairly confident that bankrupt GOP state parties (including the one in your state), and a severely cash-strapped national GOP being guided by a Trump family member will deeply injure (if not finish off) their party.
The GOP fights their culture war crap because “tax cuts for billionaires” and “let’s privatise Grandma’s Social Security” really aren’t great selling points. Clamouring for contraception to be banned under the Comstock Acts is going to be a non-starter for a helluva lot of people.
Most people still aren’t paying attention to politics yet. Neither convention has taken place. Attention will pick up from the great mass of those for whom policy or politics is not a hobby or profession as we get closer to the election.
I expect to see a helluva lot of “what the hell is the GOP doing here?” That followed by “oh hell naw.”
re: #49 So Cal Greek Hippie
The inverse canton of blue stars on a white field, with red vertical stripes is the flag of the old Revenue Cutter Service (more after the image).
The flag has fifteen stars because that was the number of states when the flag was adopted. It was only used as a law enforcement flag; never as a standard for the service. It was used to distinguish revenue cutters from merchant ships.
The flag is sometimes flown by members of the Coast Guard, and frequently flown by tax protestors and sovereign citizens (believing tariffs are the only legal taxation).
If it’s the first, you’re fine. The second probably wouldn’t bother you. The third is dangerous (frequently also possessing an arsenal of firearms).

Pew Research did a survey of various demographic groups regarding the 2020 electorate. They found that is certainly true of Republicans. They are older, whiter, less educated, and more Christians.
What the 2020 electorate looks like by party, race and ethnicity, age, education and religion (Pew Research, October 26, 2020)
Contrarywise, the Democratic Party is more diverse in ethnic groups, are more educated (yours truly excepted), younger, and only about 50% Christian.
Folks like Richard Spencer, Nick Fuentes, Hope Hicks, Alex Jones, &c. are all much younger than so-called Baby Boomers or Silent Generation people. So-called Christian influencers on YouTube or Instagram who call Democrats things like “Satan-possessed” or “demon-filled” are mostly Gen X or younger.
Voter turnout varies widely from election to election. According to Statistia, in 2020, 51% of voters age sixty-five or older voted for Mr. Trump. While that’s a majority, it doesn’t really stand out as some sort of mandate by Baby Boomers and Silent Generation.
Atheists and “nothing in particular” people (overwhelmingly Democratic voters) were outraged when President Biden held the National Day of Prayer (organised each year by a New Apostolic Reformation outfit) in the Capitol Statuary Hall, the first time it has ever been held directly on government grounds. They were further outraged by Biden making his inauguration explicitly sectarian.
Atheists (by religious grouping) are consistently the most-involved in politics in the USA (we have a lot to lose if Christian Nationalists take the country), offering more hours to door-knock, call, write letters, &c than any other religious group per capita.
The Trump Campaign in 2020 jumped on Biden inviting six people with explicit ties to Louis Farrakhan to speak at the Democratic National Convention.
The hate and bile spun up by people like Steve Bannon, Dr. Jordan Peterson, or Andrew Tate are aimed at younger men (Zoomers, Millenials), not Baby Boomers. None of those frauds are making converts in any significant quantity in my age cohort.

MAGA ‘Prophet’ Declares God is Far Right
Pastor and self-proclaimed “prophet” Hank Kunneman said in his sermon Sunday that God is “far right,” and that Democrats are “black dark evil.”
Kunneman, the outspoken backer of former President Donald Trump and pastor of Lord of Hosts Church in Omaha, Nebraska, specifically highlighted the issue of gay marriage in discussing God’s leanings.

re: #64 teleskiguy
I swear, how do you absolute Fuckface worrywarts sleep at night? It must suck thinking we’ll instantly be Nazi Germany after 5 November. This is no way to live.
My main concerns are these:
The GOP know that their candidate cannot win either the popular or even the Electoral vote unless they find some way to disrupt the counting.
They know that chaos and disinformation favor their side.
They have made it clear that they do not shy from violence and other illegal/questionable acts.
They have SCOTUS on their side.
This is not Doomsaying, it is simply realistic Risk Assessment.
re: #54 Hecuba’s daughter
During our dinner discussion tonight, one person suggested that if Trump were forced to drop out (e.g. because he was hit by lightning), then Nikki Haley would get the nomination and trounce Biden. Some of us don’t think that the GOP would ever nominate a woman of color but I know people who were fond of her (Republican lite who are not supporters of Trump). However, another topic of concern was what if Biden wins an overwhelming victory in the popular vote but loses the EC. What would the reaction be? Would there be violence? We know from Bush 43 behavior that Trump would see no reason to cooperate with Democrats; an election win is a win. But give the stakes here, I don’t know that the system can survive such a result. Of course, a Trump victory would end our system anyway.
Unlike what Trump would do in that situation, Biden and other Democratic leaders would concede the election to Trump. With no-one to rally resistors, Trump would be sworn in normally, though there could be large protest marches.

There was a time when Holy Matrimony and the legal status of marriage were identical, and you went to a church to marry and the church kept records of marriages, births and deaths, etc.
Now the two are no longer identical, the Justice of the Peace and the Bureau of Vital Statistics are in charge of such matters.
If you do not wish to see a same-sex couple as being married in the Eyes of God, that is your good right, but their legal status as married remains unaffected.
My grandmother was excommunicted from the Catholic Church because she divorced and remarried and was thus seen as an adultress.
re: #75 Anymouse 🌹🏡😷
Yes. That is the flag. Thanks for informing
The Georgia Court of Appeals has assured that the Georgia case against Trump will not be heard before election day by setting oral arguments on Trump’s interlocutory appeal to have Fani Willis removed for October 4. Judge Cannon will obviously make sure the documents case will not go to trial before election day, which only leaves the D.C. trial. There is a slight chance that it can go to trial before November, but what I expect to happen is that SCOTUS will hold that presidents are immune from prosecution for official acts, then remand the case to Judge Chutkan to decide which alleged actions Trump took were official acts for which he is immune from prosecution, and which were not official acts of the President and therefore subject to criminal charges. Once she rules, there will be another round of appeals, ensuring no trial before election day. Thank Dog for Alvin Bragg and his gutsy decision to prosecute Trump when lots of people were saying it was a weak case!
re: #105 No Malarkey!
It’s imperative we make sure Trump is defeated. If that comes to pass, Trump will quickly realize the gig is up and he’s looking forward to nonstop criminal trials from that moment on. That being said, I’m also pretty sure that he’ll almost immediately announce he’s gonna run for POTUS in 2028.

Trump will spend the winter insisting he won, filing lawsuits and urging GOP state and federal officials to reverse Biden’s victories, just like he did in 2020-21. He’ll once again ask Congress not to certify Biden’s victory, but this time the Capitol will be surrounded by thousands of National Guardsmen so there will be no repeat of January 6. Then he will have a big announcement of his 2028 presidential run to keep the fundraising apparatus going, because he is going to have enormous legal bills.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch than the GOP. Hope they’re happy wallowing in shit.
Former President Donald Trump’s guilty verdict on all 34 counts in his hush-money trial appears to have a majority of independents and “double haters,” those who have an unfavorable view of both Trump and President Joe Biden, feeling that the former president should end his bid for the White House, according to a recent ABC News/Ipsos poll — a number that could have a ripple effect on the election in November.Among independents, 52% said they believed Trump should end his 2024 presidential campaign and within the even more specified group of “double haters,” 67% said they felt the same way, according to the ABC News/Ipsos poll published on Sunday. The poll was conducted using Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel.
In an election year, the votes of independents as well as those aligned with neither candidate are highly sought after by both campaigns. The votes could make a significant impact on the 2024 presidential race that will likely be decided at the margins, especially within crucial battleground states.
“Double haters”
what a great way to conflate a bloviating racist xenophobe rapist felon with an experienced politician with decades of public service and a certain amount of negative baggage accrued over those years.

I am old. 76, in fact. In 2016, I could not believe this country would vote for such an idiotic joke as TFG. Of course, Hillary won the popular vote, and lost the EC because of only a few votes in the wrong places, and horrific head winds of Russia-Russia-Russia, decades of hateful misinformation about her, and James Comey. I nearly had a stroke that night, thinking of what TFG might do in office. I never slept normally again.
In 2020, I was still scared spitless, because who knew what trickery there was on the right. And now, I am still scared, because we KNOW some of the trickery there is happening on the right. That doesn’t mean I run around screaming, but I subscribe to as many sources of information that I can afford, and try to let my feelings be known online. Stay connected with friends who have the same fear and fury that I have. And read LGF.
Yeah, I remember election night. I began having episodes where I would jerk awake at night, sometimes unsure whether I needed to breathe in or out, unable to believe on a very basic level what had just happened. It was like the night Tate George scored with less than a second on the clock off a half court lob to sink Clemson, only a hundred times worse.

Friendly Atheist, June 3, 2023
My (very long) conversation with two Christian hate-preachers
I recently did something I didn’t think I’d ever do: I sat down with two Christian hate-preachers to talk about our mutual disgust and why they say such horrible things.
Why? Because I’m a masochist, that’s why.
Jonathan Shelley and Aaron Thompson are two pastors in the New Independent Fundamentalist Baptist movement. While the sizes of their congregations are tiny, I find that number to be irrelevant. Their true congregations are their audiences on social media, where they can be found by like-minded bigots seeking affirmations of their worst beliefs. (After YouTube banned their churches’ channels, along with those of multiple sock puppet accounts, they migrated over to Rumble.)
New IFB preachers have celebrated the deaths of LGBTQ people, called on the government to execute homosexuals with a firing squad, spread Holocaust denialism, promoted misogyny, and more. Some have said women shouldn’t be judges and shouldn’t be allowed to vote. They believe abortion doctors should be killed.

Not enough big hair, though.
My Tundra doesn’t show up on the recall list, but I will still change the oil and cut open the oil filter to check for glitter. I still have three other recalls to take care of though.
Toyota has issued a safety recall for more than 100,000 Tundra pickup trucks and Lexus LX600 SUVs in North America as a result of debris inside of the models’ V-6 engines left over from the machining process during production.
Snip
Furthermore, the recall relates to models that are powered by a V35A engine equipped with a specific crankshaft main bearings that allow the crank to rotate within the engine assembly. Due to the high amount of pressure on the main bearings in this specific engine configuration, debris could adhere to the bearings under consistent high load over time.
I believe they are trying to say that this engine likes to spin their bearings.

I don’t like using the word “faith” either, but I’m reasonably sure that 34 felony convictions are likely a bridge too far for the fence-sitters, most of them being the independent voter bloc.
The majority of GOP voters are a lost cause at this point, but even there, I’m also reasonably sure that if there were any of them looking for an excuse to stay home on November 5th, or maybe just leave the POTUS section of their ballots blank (or write someone else in), well….now they have their justification for doing so. I’m looking at Nikki Haley’s voters on that score.
What I am seeing in my anecdotal Facebook GOP* group is support for the Trump/GOP “policies” while disliking Trump. When asked who’d they vote for if Trump wasn’t the option one said “Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, or Ron DeSantis”. Mixed in with the usual diatribe about how Biden and the Democrats were so awful about taxes, immigration, etc. etc. So at best what I expect from these people is a not-Trump vote on Nov 5 while they vote straight GOP for every other office since they are happy with the Bootlicker Fascist Party in all other ways.

It’s easy to forget the ND had two Democratic Senators from 1987 to 2011 and had at least one Democratic Senator from 1960 to 2019. It may be bright red now and the ND Dem-NPL party is truly struggling but that hasn’t always been the case. It is so unfortunate, as Anymouse often laments, that the national Democratic party has essentially abandoned the plains states.
BTW, the history of the Non-Partisan League (NPL) in ND is interesting - resulted in the only state-owned bank and only state-owned mill and elevator (and, for a while, the only state-owned railroad). PBS has a series available on the history: pbs.org

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling party is poised to lose its majority in parliament, forcing him to rely on allies to form a government. It’s a stunning blow to a leader who has dominated Indian politics since he first took power a decade ago.
Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party was leading in 241 seats, short of the 272 needed to form a government and well behind the 303 it won in the 2019 election. The opposition bloc, known as the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance, was on course to win more than 220 seats, the results showed.
Modi now needs to secure the support of two key members of his broader National Democratic Alliance who control some 30 seats — enough to flip the balance of power in parliament. Leaders of those two parties have a history of switching sides, and only joined up with Modi a few months ago, making it unclear whether they will stick with him or back the opposition bloc.

Most Republicans who are ambivalent about voting for Trump because he is now a felon will end up voting for him anyway because “he’s better than Biden.” But the sliver who decide not to vote or vote for another candidate will help at the margins. The real prize are true swing voters who are unhappy with Biden and were leaning Trump but have the good sense not to vote for a convicted felon.

If Trump ever tells his MAGA followers to sit out an election, the GOP would have a damned hard time getting one of their elected as street sweeper.
It’s why the knives come out whenever Trump effectively loses the ability to be taken seriously by the red meat base as a candidate.* A lot of politicians and non-politicians like Trump’s children will all take a shot at picking up the mantle and control of that crowd since it’s the key to power in the GQP.

Funny because there is a lot of overlap in GOP ideology and Latinos (strong families, religion, belief in hard work and free enterprise) that they cannot tap because they are such fucking racists and xenophobes.
And there is a lot of overlap between them the gay community (low taxes as gay couples often tend to be high earners with fewer options for dependent child deductions or mortgage deductions on large family-friendly homes in good school districts, etc) but again, they are such fucking homophobes.

I can see this is going to be a long summer. We know who the two major political parties are going pick as their nominees. We also have a decent idea of how they are going to run their respective campaigns. Please also keep in mind most people do not make up their minds as to which candidate they are voting for until roughly two weeks before the election. And some do not make up their minds until they get into the booth. Although I am registered as “R” (because of my former job) I have been voting mostly “D.” I believe Joe has and will do in the future a great job in spite of what the press and DT say. I also believe that the felonies are going to weigh heavily against DT.

Epoch Times CFO Bill Guan charged in alleged $67 million global money laundering scheme
The chief financial officer of conservative global news outlet The Epoch Times has been arrested and charged with leading a yearslong scheme to launder at least $67 million in illicit funds, federal prosecutors said Monday.
The “sprawling” scheme — which involved cryptocurrency, tens of thousands of prepaid debit cards, fraudulently obtained unemployment insurance benefits and stolen personal information — fueled a massive increase in The Epoch Times’ reported annual revenue, prosecutors alleged.
Weidong “Bill” Guan, 61, is charged in U.S. District Court in lower Manhattan with one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering and two counts of bank fraud.
Guan was arrested Sunday morning and pleaded not guilty on Monday afternoon before a federal magistrate judge in Manhattan, according to a court notice. He was released on a $3 million personal recognizance bond, and his travel is restricted to parts of New York and New Jersey, among other restrictions.

And the Cheese Man gets stung again!
Kenneth Chesebro among Trump allies hit with new fake elector indictments in Wisconsin
Chesebro joins James Troupis and Michael Roman in the indictment released Tuesday.
The indictment states that each is being charged with one count of forgery, which is a felony, according to Lawfare reporter Anna Bower and Politico’s Kyle Cheney.
Troupis is a Wisconsin attorney who took the Chesebro plot and escalated it to the highest levels of the Trump campaign, WPR reported in March.
“In an email to Troupis [Nov. 8, 2020], Chesebro said that if ‘various systematic abuses’ of Wisconsin election laws could be proven in court, ‘I don’t see why electoral votes certified by (Gov. Tony) Evers … should be counted over an alternative slate sent in by the legislature,’” the report states.
Roman is a former Trump campaign official who is also linked in the Georgia racketeering case involving efforts to overturn the election result in that state.
Chesebro was also indicted along with a group of Trump allies in Georgia.

Unfortunately for him and his fellow conspirators, “Democrats winning” can’t (despite their best efforts) be classed as one of those “systematic abuses”.
And, needless to say, that “proven in court” thing is also a chronic problem….

what a great way to conflate a bloviating racist xenophobe rapist felon with an experienced politician with decades of public service and a certain amount of negative baggage accrued over those years.
Hate is too strong a take, but Biden has some head scratching positions like slow walking aid to Ukraine (finally 2+years into this mess, Ukraine was given permission to use some US weapons in Russian territory. Why the wait?), the lackluster pace of Trump prosecutions (yeah, independent DoJ, but Biden nominated the AG), and he is OLD.
Of course none of this should matter because he’s running against Trump.

The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries plus Russia (OPEC+) announced Monday after a meeting in Saudi Arabia that crude oil production cuts, which have been a strategic staple for the alliance of small oil-rich nations for the past several years, would be phased out starting in September of this year, resulting in increased oil supply and likely lower gas prices.OPEC+ released a statement following the meeting announcing that, nominally, production cuts would continue into 2025, but several nations in the alliance, most notably the United Arab Emirates, would be permitted to increase their output of crude oil starting after September.
“These countries will extend their voluntary cuts for 2.2 million barrels a day…until the end of September 2024, and then the 2.2 million barrels a day will be gradually phased out on a monthly basis until the end of September 2025 to support market stability,” the OPEC+ statement read following the meeting in Riyadh.
The decision to increase production comes after years of voluntary cuts by OPEC+ to drive up the price of oil, largely contributing to increased gas prices in the United States since the Covid-19 pandemic. During the height of the pandemic, then-President Donald Trump asked OPEC to decrease production after oil prices had cratered, in order to increase prices to benefit U.S. oil companies.

A massive part of the problem is that huge swaths of people, including the idiot undecideds/independents can’t or won’t believe this.
Trump is running solely to grab power and protect himself. Far too many people (and as I alluded to in my earlier post, it’s mostly white folks) somehow refuse to acknowledge that this guy is openly flaunting what he’s going to do. In most cases, it won’t affect them until Republicans run out of other people to shit on.
That whole “When they finally came for me, no one was left to say anything” poem is borderline cliche at this point, but it absolutely applies to people who somehow after eight years are looking at Trump and “Yeah, maybe…”

I can see why this was troublesome to the prosecutor:
As he explained what happened, the prosecutor noticed defendant Said Shafii Farah immediately begin typing on his phone, so Thompson asked the judge to “freeze” and let agents seize the phones as possible evidence. Brasel ordered the defendants to put their cell phones in airplane mode, and federal agents later took custody of them to “freeze the scene,” while prosecutors sought a warrant to search their contents.

re: #249 jaunte
Mrs. Peel? You’re gorgeous but finger outside the trigger guard please.
It remains to see what legal challenges might arise once Biden affixes his signature to the new order. However, the political calculus couldn’t be clearer. The President knows he’s bleeding support with independents and moderates, and that while the Israel-Palestine protests may get more news coverage, the border actually lingers much larger in the minds of voters. That’s especially true of swing-state voters. A Trumpy approach to the border (sans children in cages) will undoubtedly anger progressives and immigration advocates, but you can bet your last dollar that Team Biden has polling data that tells them that executive action on the border will gain the President more support than it loses him.Naturally, this won’t stop the Republicans from attacking the President on this issue. In fact, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) might well force a vote this week on a bill to impeach Biden over his border policy. However, if the Republicans aren’t willing to take up any legislation, while at the same time Biden is exercising whatever authority he has to try to manage immigration, then that debate gets harder for the red team to win.

There’s really only one example of apartheid. Analogies based on one are the most difficult. The two you’re talking about don’t share every feature, so (as with all analogies) there is a basis for saying that isn’t the same. All responses have some validity, from ‘kinda’ to ‘omg only a racist would say that’ and everything in between and outside.

Maybe the tide has turned, especially given that the Tories (hoping it holds true) are expected to suffer major losses and Labour will be enjoying a long delayed return to power (delayed due to their very belated eviction of Corbyn). After all it was Brexit in 2016 that signaled that Trump might be successful, that something was very askew in our world.

re: #274 jaunte
They are telegraphing their strategy: get the results thrown out as uncertifiable, or at least enough to ensure that neither candidate gets 270 EC votes, then the decision goes to the House delegations.
This is important: not the House of Representatives overall, but the individual states vote (based on a majority of their delegations) with each state getting ONE VOTE
There are more GOP states than Democratic states, so Instant Victory.
SCOTUS will back it up and the Storm Trumpers will be out in force to put down any protesters (aka “violent, dangerous rioters and outside agitators”) with exptreme prejudice.
We have to make sure they can not pull this off. They are growing more and more desperate as the reality of having a felonious presidential candidate starts to soak in to their softened brains.

re: #179 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))
Funny because there is a lot of overlap in GOP ideology and Latinos (strong families, religion, belief in hard work and free enterprise) that they cannot tap because they are such fucking racists and xenophobes.
And there is a lot of overlap between them the gay community (low taxes as gay couples often tend to be high earners with fewer options for dependent child deductions or mortgage deductions on large family-friendly homes in good school districts, etc) but again, they are such fucking homophobes.
The post DJT GOP has to figure out how to expand their appeal beyond their shrinking core demographic of rural white people.
The GOP descent into Trump madness has been long coming, ever since Nixon decided on the Southern strategy. Given their true core “principles” — tax cuts for the wealthy, theocracy, Gilead for women, suppression of minority voters, all in on fossil fuels — it would be far better for them to disappear and be replaced by a sane party. After all people like Cheney who stood up for our Constitution are also in full support of those principles.

This isn’t going to happen. They couldn’t pull it off when they had control of the executive branch. Regardless of the vote, Biden or Harris will still be POTUS until January 20th.

My issue with all the groomer accusations flying around is that it removes agency from the subject. Are people really saying that a 21 year old (or even 17 year old when they met) isn’t old enough to make her own decisions? That’s ridiculous.
re: #226 JC1
Hate is too strong a take, but Biden has some head scratching positions like slow walking aid to Ukraine (finally 2+years into this mess, Ukraine was given permission to use some US weapons in Russian territory. Why the wait?), the lackluster pace of Trump prosecutions (yeah, independent DoJ, but Biden nominated the AG), and he is OLD.
Of course none of this should matter because he’s running against Trump.

Keeeeerist. I had to go through May (Mother’s Day) and now it’s June (Father’s Day). With both parents now gone, this is hitting harder this year. I wish advertisers would be more sensible about this sort of thing.
Yesterday I got a text from King’s jewelers about our wedding anniversary that is coming up on the 18th (would have been our 25th). We have been dealing with King’s for years. There was no way they could have known my wife passed away at the beginning of the year. I let them know and told them not to feel bad about the text because I’m really sure they don’t scour their contacts every day when they read obituaries.

They didn’t do anything when Trump was found guilty. They won’t do anything when he’s sentenced. They won’t do anything when he loses again.

Man, my nerves are being stomped on today. I learned that not only is Donald Trump coming to Phoenix on Thursday, he's doing a "town hall" at Dream City Church. It is a well known fact that "pastors" Tommy and Luke Barnett are head acolytes in the Whoring After Trump Evangelical cult. Blargh.

They will not be able to invalidate a state, let alone more than one. And not just the presidential row while leaving the rest intact.
Remember there are over 170000 individual polling places holding elections simultaneously.

My point is yes, we all know that and I’m tired of seeing the same tired series of posts every other day. (We also know what happens when there is no electoral majority, by the way, having seen it at least every time someone mentions the Heritage people. And we don’t know what the makeup of the House will be on January 6, 2025. Right now, the repugs have 27 states, but they’ve been losing special elections, in case you hadn’t noticed.)
re: #257 Axolotl
I don’t want to pick a fight around here but can someone please make a cogent argument about why what we are seeing is not a form of apartheid?
Before you attack me for this question some context. My wife and kids are jewish and in college. Assume you are answer this question for them because in a manner of speaking you are. (In other words, that’s how they see it)
It is not apartheid because Israel has palestinian arabs in its parliament. Israel offered the Palestinians East Jerusalem in 1947 for their capital. Palestinians responded by cutting off the water supply to West Jerusalem and spending the next 70 years attempting to drive Jews into the sea. I hope it absolutely eats up Palestinians every time they consider that they could have had a large country in 1948 with a capital in Jerusalem, prosperous countryside filled with orchards, while Israel would be a tiny little nation-state without enough room for an international airport, and that the reason why millions of Palestinians are living in camps is because they and their ancestors were mostly a bunch of religious bigots. Sorry, there’s my two cents’ worth. And yes, Israel has its religious bigots as well, but that’s hardly surprising, considering history. Territorial triumphalism kind of gets baked into everything when every conversation is about land.

They didn’t in 2020 and it’s the same set of Republican judges as then. I am hopeful that even they would understand how destructive that ruling would be.

re: #262 jaunte
Attorney General Merrick Garland testified on Justice Department oversight during a public hearing before the House Judiciary Committee.
c-span.org
After watching that hearing, I have great appreciation for anyone who can sit nonviolently on a committee with Andy Biggs.
This is a copy of a Rando’s explanation about the border:
The language around the border being “closed” is misleading.
Obviously ports of entry will continue to be open for legally eligible people and goods to cross both ways - trade, business, tourism, family visits, etc will continue.
And this from the Politico story:
There will still be a number of exceptions, including for unaccompanied children, some victims of trafficking, migrants facing acute medical emergencies or imminent threats to their safety. Migrants who also have an appointment at a port of entry via Custom and Border Protection’s smartphone app will still be processed. The Biden administration is currently processing roughly 1,500 migrants a day at official ports, and the president’s actions will not affect his humanitarian parole pathways established for certain migrants.
Mexico is even with Canada as the US’s largest trading partner. Millions of people on both sides of the border have family, friends, business and recreation in the other country. More than 1.5 million US citizens live in Mexico, and millions of Mexican citizens live in the US. Each year c. 35 million American tourists visit Mexico - the most of any country on earth.
Rhetoric about “closing the border” only plays into the most xenophobic elements of American society and utterly fails to reflect the nuances of the US/Mexico relationship and border realities.
I suspect that the courts will ultimately throw out much of this new executive order - the same way that happened at times during the Trump administration.
Unfortunately US politics prevents the country from approaching issues around the US/Mexico border, immigration, and asylum with any kind of sanity. That is unlikely to change - especially as long as Republicans have the power in Congress (or, shudder, the White House) to block meaningful action.
re: #322 Dangerman
Fewer than 50% of those crossing the border without papers are Mexican. Soon, fewer than 50% of them will be from this hemisphere. More of the world wants to use the land border than the beach. Canada? Don’t know.
