MSDNC?

He's been doing that a lot lately, I think on purpose. A mash of MSNBC and DNC?

It's a blatant rip-off from right-wing talk radio. They've been using that clever little portmanteau for years.

The DAX and FTSE are down in early trading. I think it's safe to say that global markets are finally understanding that the coronavirus doesn't have to be super lethal to seriously fuck with just-in-time supply chains, not to mention the travel and hospitality sectors. Bond yields are ridiculously l...

Why does he have to keep re-victimizing that poor flag?

George McGovern, 1972. Its who Nixon wanted, who Nixon got and who Nixon beat in 49 states. All I'm going to say. This, not likely in this day and age by 49 to 1, but absolutely this. And very likely loss of the House. Which means? An even more emboldened Trump, post-impeachment and post-election, ...

Mulvaney has either gone round the bend, or is openly inviting Trump to fire him.

Sentencing is underway, and Judge Jackson is scoring even more points with me on this: https://twitter.com/rachelweinerwp/status/1230511298489856002 Rachel Weiner @rachelweinerwp More from judge: "For those who woke up last week and became persuaded that the guidelines are harsh … defense attorneys ...

The Grenell appointment demonstrates the urgent need (not that it matters) for limits to be placed on the Vacancies Reform Act. The VRA allows someone who has been confirmed by the Senate for one job to fill another, totally unrelated job in an acting capacity without having to be confirmed. Ordinar...

Adam Serwer from The Atlantic has an excellent piece up entitled "The First Days of the Trump Regime." He unloads both barrels on Barr: Modern authoritarian institutions diligently seek to preserve the appearance of democratic accountability. Perhaps for this reason, Barr has insisted publicly that ...

On the West Wing, [highlight]Les Klaypool[/highlight] (the thinly disguised allusion to Klayman) was a jerk, but he actually got useful information from his depositions. Klayman here is mostly just arguing with Stone and shadow boxing with his own ego. I'm telling Sorkin I want my money back. I thi...

I thought that was Giuliani who said that...

I actually am curious about Barr's endgame. There's good reason to suspect he may follow Alberto Gonzales into the realm of "former AGs considered unemployable by the legal profession," which amounts to a sort of de facto disbarment. Then again, he probably doesn't really care about that.

I do wish that Gideon would remind voters that Collins promised to serve only two terms when she first ran for the Senate...in 1996.

That Texas deposition is indeed a classic.

Also, I do have to agree with Stone's assertion that it is impossible to defame Larry Klayman.

That Klayman believes disseminating this is helpful to him/harmful to Stone is yet further evidence of Klayman's psychosis.

Yeah, well, he just helped George Zimmerman file a suit for $300 million against Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg tonight, so...

The bit around 1:05:00 of the first video is great. Right as their gonna take a break because things are getting heated (transcript mine): STONE: Have fun molesting your own children, Larry? I read the court decision. KLAYMAN: You read that? STONE: Yeah, I did. KLAYMAN: But you don't read anything e...

Any litigation where GIL Klayman sues Stone reminds me of how I feel during a USC-Notre Dame football game: I'm rooting for a 0-0 tie and lots of injuries.

There's actually a troubling trend at play here. I was hearing on the radio this morning about the start of deliberations in the Harvey Weinstein trial. Apparently, juror #11 is known to be working on a book about power dynamics and exploitation by older men towards younger women. This was known bef...

In more than three dozen interviews in recent days, lawyers across the federal government’s legal establishment wondered aloud whether Mr. Trump was undermining the Justice Department’s treasured reputation for upholding the law without favor or political bias — and whether Attorney General William...

It's a nightmare which will likely continue longer than the rest of my life.

I feel like that must be an altered video?

Why's that?

Here's a link to the complaint: https://www.aclu-il.org/sites/default/f ... nses_0.pdf

In addition to the ACLU of Illinois, it would appear that Sidley Austin has signed on to bring the suit. The lawyers for those cops are going to be totally outgunned.

He’s really moving & twitching. Almost quivering. He needs a full neurological eval at a quality center- There is one nea...

After seeing those Facebook posts, I went back and checked Karl's bond conditions from Dodge County 17CT237:

Defendant shall not leave the State of Wisconsin while the case is pending.

Res ipsa loquitur.

Have seen a less improbable claim that the Chinese have had success using blood plasma taken from recovered patients. Have not seen this confirmed by MSM reports. Convalescent plasma (presumably containing useful antibodies) has been used in previous disease outbreaks of other diseases. Prior to th...
