Took my first road trip in years yesterday. A friend of mine was going to go with me but he wasn’t feeling up to it so I made a lone road trip. The lake below is just NW of Jamestown NY. I was heading to Salamanca NY to pick up some smoke and gamble a little in the casino. Was a cold but sunny day, so a nice drive. I lost about $100 at the casino but it was fun playing.

Lara Trump stands to inherit a fundraising mess of Trump’s making
Trump is now primed to position his daughter-in-law to use RNC funds to pay his legal fees.

Molly JongFast:

“…perhaps even more meaningfully, Trump “entered the 2024 election year with about 200,000 fewer donors than in the previous presidential campaign four years ago.”

It’s unclear if an RNC takeover will help Trump’s cash flow problems, but if Lara Trump ends up being the co-chair of the RNC, she will inherit a fundraising mess. The RNC needs money. Losing its longtime chair wouldn’t make fundraising easier. Lara Trump will need to make the case to old-school GOP donors that paying Trump’s legal fees will somehow win them back the Senate and the presidency. I’m not convinced that’s going to be an easy sell.

re: #6 jaunte

Reminds me of some of yesterday’s comments:

What happens if they are registered as Democrats? What happens when they have been frozen for 18 years?

Which goes back to the probably apocryphal story about when Jimmy Carter, during an early campaign for a State office, found he had lost by over 100 dead people voting in alphabetic order.

Supposedly, he went to the political machine boss and argued that he knew many of the dead folks when they were alive. And that none of them would have voted for his opponent.

True story, the political boss was convicted of voter fraud.

Mrs J took a couple of our cats to the vet the other day where she met a woman who brought in two G Pyrs. She mentioned seeing a like pair and asked if she lived on our road, but the woman ducked the question. Probably it was the same pair we see here but the woman was ashamed to own up to it.

In addition to being a stupid swipe at the incumbent President (160 years out-of-date), Turley’s BS also seems to miss one important fact: that as far as we know (and tbf, there seems to have been no written record: maybe Jonathan Turley can ghost-write one), Moses Robinette didn’t actively seek a pardon, but some of his friends/acquaintances form the Army took the initiative (via the Guardian)

Three army officers who knew Robinette later petitioned Lincoln to overturn his conviction, writing that the sentence was unduly harsh for “defending himself and cutting with a penknife a teamster much his superior in strength and size, all under the impulse of the excitement of the moment”.

The request went through a West Virginia senator, who described Robinette’s punishment as “a hard sentence on the case as stated”. Then it went to Lincoln’s private secretary, who requested a judicial report and the trial transcripts.

When the letter eventually reached Lincoln, he issued a pardon “for unexecuted part of punishment”. The then president signed it: “A. Lincoln. Sep. 1. 1864.”

Robinette was released from prison and returned to his family in Maryland to resume farming.

Though I’m sure old Mose didn’t carp much about getting a ticket off the rockpile in the Dry Tortugas….

It sounds like you are doing all that you can. I have seen it take years of a neighborly relationship before one can suggest, without offending too much, how the neighbor might treat their doggos differently.

But that is sad. If the owner is unwilling to accept their responsibility, it is likely that the poor doggos are going to end up with any consequences.

And they look like really nice doggos too. Because they are wandering about, I guess that they are not doing the livestock guardian thing.

Rubin has posted some very good columns recently.

When VP Harris was taking a lot of news media flack for not conforming to their imagination, Rubin was one of those who stepped up in Harris’ defense.

When the media started harping on Biden’s age while ignoring tfg, she was one of those who pointed out the media’s utter hypocrisy.

In her current column, Rubin is pointing out the GOP collusion with Russian Intelligence Information operations -

Rubin Xitter post

====

WaPo Gift Link: Dim or disloyal? Republicans again ensnared in possible Russian plot.

Are Republicans easy marks or willing participants in Russian anti-Biden operations? That’s a troubling question raised by the Feb. 14 grand jury indictment of a former FBI informant, Alexander Smirnov, on charges of concocting a tale about President Biden’s supposed involvement in his family members’ business dealings.

Allegations by Smirnov — who appears to have ties to Russian intelligence, according to the federal indictment — have formed the backbone of the House Republicans’ laughable attempt to build an impeachment case against the president. They championed him as their star witness. Now the Republicans’ fact-deficient storyline has been shredded.

*snip*

Even more damning, The Post subsequently reported that “Smirnov’s indictment and detention memo suggest the allegations were not only false, but possibly a Russian-inspired smear.”

GPs wander. We had some left on a property we bought, and we just had to keep them in a cage. Otherwise they would just take off. We would find them miles down the road. We were very happy to have them go to their new home. They were gorgeous dogs, but too much of a responsibility for us.

Chief Justice Tom Parker of the Alabama Soo-preme Court has placed a lot of important Republican asses on a very hot griddle. For decades, they placated the fanatic fetus-fondlers in their political base with half-measures and platitudes. Then the U.S. Supremes dropped the Dobbs decision into their laps and, suddenly, there was no place for them to hide any more. And now, while they’re still wrongfooted from that development, here comes Chief Justice Tom ruling that all the little IVF embryos are babies beloved by God, to whose private cellphone number Chief Justice Tom has the number. He and the Almighty got together and decided that all IVF procedures are against the law in Alabama. IVF is a very popular thing. And Republicans are scrambling like…well…eggs over this new issue that they should’ve seen coming, but clearly didn’t.

This latest controversy about the new see-through pants that Major League Baseball has handed its players is the greatest sports story of the year. Admittedly, I love any story that plays havoc with baseball’s insufferable self-regard, but I couldn’t love this story more. From ESPN:

Because the fabric is lighter, Clark said it’s a “challenge” to have bigger numbers and letters — hence complaints that the back of the jersey looks “amateurish,” according to more than one player. And some say the eggshell color of the pants — the fabric is the same as last year — is creating a see-through vibe. The fit has also come into question. After visiting over a half-dozen spring camps in Arizona, Clark is getting a clearer picture of the complaints. “A lot of the rhetoric is confirmation that the pants are see-through,” Clark said. “It’s been an ongoing conversation where each day has yielded something new that doesn’t seem to make as much sense as you would like it.”

More Charlie Pierce on Friday. Maybe I should watch baseball this year?

Car Thief is playing to his demos in his district in eastern San Diego County. But the reason Car Thief has to become more and more extreme is that demo in question has to be near 100% turnout for him to be re-elected, as that district, following what happened to the rest of SD, will switch from (R) to (D) as its population grows.

Car Thief won is elections in that district not by large margins. He lost in his old district as it flippled to (D). He knows he will eventually lose in his current district, the old Duncan Hunter district, as the population continues to change.

We see his strategy literally every day. Stupid motion after stupid motion. They likely had a file off stupid motions that regular people had to pay a lot of money to reply to. Trump is fucking scum.

As is everyone working for him or voting for him.

Trump’s Stooge is busy today

Judge Cannon’s new orders in Trump docs case make her next move ‘difficult to determine’

Judge Cannon on Sunday issued two new orders in Donald Trump’s criminal case over classified documents in Florida, further mystifying a legal expert about her next move and setting the stage for a Friday hearing.

Trump was indicted in the case by Special Counsel Jack Smith, who accused the former president of stashing away classified documents from the White House and refusing to return them when subpoenaed by federal authorities. Trump has consistently claimed he had a right to keep the documents, and even said he couldn’t be prosecuted because he is immune from prosecution because he deemed the documents “personal” while he was president.

More recently, Smith sought to keep Cannon from making certain witness information public, and Cannon sought information from the parties on that topic.

In one paperless order made public on Sunday, Cannon confirmed that she held a meeting with Trump’s legal team on the issue.

“The court heard argument from counsel on defense theories” in connection with classified information, according to the order. Seven Trump attorneys were listed as in attendance.

“Cannon verifying she held the final CIPA section 4 hearing with Trump’s lawyers on Friday,” national security attorney Bradley Moss said Sunday. “It’s becoming very difficult to determine if she will issue rulings before Friday’s day long scheduling hearing, or if she will issue rulings from the bench that day.”

In a second order, Cannon put Smith on a deadline.

“On or before February 28, 2024, the Special Counsel shall file a Reply in Support of its Motion for Reconsideration,” she wrote.

“Cannon gives Smith until Wednesday to file any further reply regarding the reconsideration motion,” Moss added in a separate post. “Yet another thing that arguably needs to be finalized by Friday’s hearing.”

And when he turns them in on Tuesday she’ll get annoyed at him rushing her, but if he waits until Wednesday, he’ll be waiting too long.

Already messaged GOP carpetbagger and PA Senate wannabe Dave “I support IVF” McCormick:
Good evening. I am a longtime PA resident and voter. As a religious woman - one whose son-in-law is from a devout Catholic family - I have questions about the role of religion regarding in-vitro fertilization, which you support. Respectfully, can you answer these important questions?
1. Does full human life begin at conception? Yes or no?
2. Are frozen embryos children?
3. Must every gamete/embryo created be implanted?
4. If there is no viable pregnancy that results from implantation is the woman guilty of murder? Is a death certificate required?
5. Catholic doctrine forbids any assisted fertility that uses “extracorporeal conception”. This would include IVF. Are you prepared to ignore Catholic doctrine? What other Christian religious doctrines are negotiable regarding health care?
Religious voters in PA deserve to know where you stand.
Thank you.

Hey, I didn’t specify which religion I am, nor that my son-in-law, unlike his mother and sisters, is a lapsed non-believer now.

Honest question. Was any of this going on before 10/7? Because I feel if there was genuine concern for the plight of the Palestinians, it wouldn’t all be coming out just because Israel is bombing the shit out of them. The Palestinians have been in a bad situation since the rest of the Arab world effectively abandoned them to their fate.

Iirc, Syrian Military intelligence pioneered modern suicide bombings back in the 1980s via Hezbollah. Among their targets were US, French and Israeli forces in Lebanon. The bombers were very carefully selected and managed. The Syrian operation was successful as they forced out the US and French forces after killing over 300 US and French serviceman.

Can’t say for sure, maybe the world tolerates apartheid but not genocide? I think a lot of it is because of the vastly disproportionate response is being broadcast live on social media. I know that personally, due to cultural bias, I never looked much into Israel/Palestine history before this.

re: #72 Eventual Carrion

I plan on heading back later this spring. Get a non-resident 3 day fishing license and spend the weekend fishing on that lake. I picked up a NY fishing guide book and a book showing all the attractions and boat rental places on Chautauqua lake at the rest stop. The rest stop was where I took the picture of the lake.

I actually have been to that lake many times when I was a kid in Buffalo (five years there).

That is a pretty rest stop. I drive between Pittsburgh and up near Rochester via I-86 now and then as an alternate to my more direct route via various state routes. Takes about the same amount of time and weather is a major factor in the decision since using I-79, I-90, I-86 involves an increased amount of time close to Lake Erie.
