Friday news dump inbound….
The Manhattan district attorney’s office appears to have entered the final stages of a criminal tax investigation into Donald Trump’s long-serving chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, setting up the possibility he could face charges this summer, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
In recent weeks, a grand jury has been hearing evidence about Weisselberg, who is facing intense scrutiny from prosecutors as they seek his cooperation with a broader investigation into Trump and the Trump Organization, the people with knowledge of the matter said. The prosecutors have obtained Weisselberg’s personal tax returns, the people said, providing the fullest picture yet of his finances.
Even as the investigation has heated up, it remains unclear whether the prosecutors will seek an indictment of Weisselberg, which would mark the first criminal charges stemming from the long-running financial fraud investigation into Trump and his family company.
Putting screws to Weisselberg and other financial officers in Trumpworld will reveal crimes by Trump and his crime syndicate.

Probably because they thought they had Biden boxed in. That once they had his blessing on the “deal,” Manchin and Sinema would oppose any further talk of reconciliation and thus this “deal” would be the only thing that would get a vote before the midterms. But Biden flipped the script by putting them in a situation where their refusal to abide by the “deal” puts pressure on Manchin and Sinema to support passing a large bill through reconciliation.
She’s Trumpist trash.

This is true when fully 35% of the American public are firmly white supremacist at their core. This is their core political decision making. All other political concerns fall further down on their priority list even if it means direct benefits for themselves.
Polls consistently reveal about 70-75% of white men and about 50% of white women are either happy with absolute white supremacism or don’t have any concern to do something about changing this immoral structure. These statistics are the main reason why American influence in the world is declining, and with it an eventual downgrade in worldwide rankings in everything from education, infrastructure to life expectancy.

re: #23 Charles Johnson
Happy weekend, Donnie.
An international group of archaeologists have discovered a missing piece in the story of human evolution.Excavations at the Israeli site of Nesher Ramla have recovered a skull that may represent a late-surviving example of a distinct Homo population, which lived in and around modern-day Israel from about 420,000 to 120,000 years ago.
As researchers Israel Hershkovitz, Yossi Zaidner and colleagues detail in two companion studies published today in Science, this archaic human community traded both their culture and genes with nearby Homo sapiens groups for many thousands of years.
Pieces of a skull, including a right parietal (towards the back/side of the skull) and an almost complete mandible (jaw) were dated to 140,000–120,000 years old, with analysis finding the person it belonged to wasn’t fully H. sapiens.
Nor were they Neanderthal, however, which was the only other type of human thought to have been living in the region at the time.
Instead, this individual falls right smack in the middle: a unique population of Homo never before recognized by science.”

Chavin sentencing hearing should begin in a few minutes. Prosecutors have requested a max sentence - think 30 years, while Chavin’s lawyers are asking for probation (stifles choking on a splinter).
The odds are that Chavin gets 20-30 years because of the premeditation and lack of remorse. I don’t expect him to show any today either. He might make a statement before sentencing, but he was unrepentant all along - because he doesn’t think he did anything wrong. He thinks Floyd deserved to die.

If a civilian killed Floyd in the manner that Chauvin did, there’d be no question that they get a max sentence. But since it’s a cop, there’s a good chance that we’re going to watch that privilege reduce his sentence from what is appropriate to something far less.

I should note that the judge did declare that aggravating factors are in play, which means he’s more likely to get more than less. I can’t remember what the sentencing guidelines called for, but I thought it was on the order of 5-6 years, which is why I said 10 as an over/under.

The circumstances are intentionally rare that someone gets the max sentence for a first offense. The thing is, here is a man with a THOROUGHLY DOCUMENTED history of violence and abuse of power, who is now standing trial for the ultimate combination of those two traits - the cold-blooded murder of another man. There is a remote chance that the judge could throw the book at him without so much as a, “May God have mercy on your soul.” I just don’t feel that the circumstances warrant it in terms of probability.

I don’t know. Execution seems pretty specific to me (not “get rid of them” or other euphemisms). The group that should be executed is broader (Biden voters? Election officials?). But still, they are calling for the killing of people.
It’s the same kind of rhetorical game they play too where they constantly frame any sort of anti-racism as ‘elitist’, placing racist and prejudiced behavior as somehow more ‘real’, more ‘genuine’, more ‘American’ by comparison. It’s the same old bullshit as ever.

Where? When? If they said something like, “The next time you see someone wearing a BLM shirt, you should punch them in the groin and then slit their throat,” okay, now we’re getting somewhere. That’s the limit of the First Amendment.

oh i doubt it. I fully expect chauvin is going to pull 40 years here, with aggravating factors included. He did this under color of authority, with multiple fellow subordinate officers whose careers are also now ruined because of his and their actions. He did it in front of children. This was effectively a lynching in broad daylight, committed with the callous belief that the uniform was going to protect all of them from any repercussions. He’s destroyed the lives of George Floyd’s family, both immediate and to a degree indirect, and the entire event created protests in which other people were killed. He’ll die in prison.

If Chauvin gets another trial for other offenses, gets convicted, and gets more years tacked on to his sentence, not to run concurrently, that might give Derek Floyd’s family more peace of mind as they know the their killer will rot in prison for even more time.
Edit: Looks like that’s already started. The federal trial stems from both Derek Floyd’s murder and also an attack on a 14-year old boy where he put his knee on the neck of a non-resisting year old. But it looks like any federal sentence would run concurrently :-(

At the risk of pissing literally everybody off… I find 22.5 years to be… about right.
Prosecutors asked for 30. He was going to get at least 10. Splitting the difference towards aggravation seems about right to me.— Elie Mystal (@ElieNYC) June 25, 2021
re: #104 Charles Johnson
22.5 years…. or about 22 years on the nose with time served.
That’s more than I expected and less than I hoped for. He should be spending the rest of his life in prison. He’s unrepentant.— lawhawk #vaxxingforafriend (@lawhawk) June 25, 2021

The fact that he got convicted at all was a minor miracle in itself. Anything that ensures he won’t be out in less than 5 years is acceptable to me.

I read this ProPublica report on 1/6 through TPM, which I’ll link below. It’s the deepest reporting I’ve seen and shows that some factions and Trump aides grew increasingly panicked about the Stop The Steal factions that were clearly joining forces for violent purposes. EVen some of Trump’s top supporters were taken aback when Trump sent the signal from the stage of the first rally on 1/6 to march to the Capitol to “peacefully and patriotically” show strength and not weakness to take back America. I hope Pelosi’s select committee can get some testimony under oath about the coordination. Also, Ali Alexander is a dangerous pos.
Local news says that a typical prisoner in Minnesota spends 2/3 of their sentence behind bars. So he’s got a little over 14 years to spend in Oak Park Heights to think about what an asshole he’s been.
re: #105 lawhawk
30 would have still been less than hoped.
Cops have been getting away scot-free with crimes like George Floyd’s murder for so long. He deserves a life sentence, but this is no slap on the wrist. There’s been a seismic shift in the US on issues like this, and it’s the reason why the Fox News/GOP axis is going berserk.

I agree, and unfortunately, that means he’s probably going to spend a lot of his time at Oak Park Heights in the hole, for his own protection from other prisoners - but at the risk of his mental health, because holy God, spending years on end in solitary? I thought COVID lockdown was bad, but I couldn’t live with just myself for more than about a week at a time.

This change to simply holding police accountable for serious or deadly violence has been way too long coming. The trick is to not backslide in the face of the current or future violent crime waves. Society is terribly fickle. Make it stick.

I’m a little suspicious of this. Especially because once you got past Chicago, you were really getting into horse country because of shitty local, privately maintained roads, or shitty local trails. I doubt many midwestern or western women would have spent their time on horseback riding side saddle in dresses. My guess would be they got arrested just because some redneck dick of a sheriff decided women shouldn’t be riding motorcycles.

That actually reminds me: Chauvin is currently imprisoned on a state charge. The GOP in DC have no power over him, and there’s no fucking way the Republicans are going to gain any ground up here after the four years we’ve just had. Whatever happens with his federal charge and the civil lawsuits, his ass is grass for however long the state sees fit to keep him there. Fuck the GOP.
Presumptive sentence for the crime for a person of Chauvin’s criminal history is 12.5 years. So in effect Judge Cahill imposed an additional 10 years for the aggravating factors. Remember, Chauvin waived his right for a jury to determine & probably jury would have found even more
— Harry Litman (@harrylitman) June 25, 2021
Judge found 2 aggravating factors: 1) abuse of trust and authority and 2) particular cruelty. technically that permitted him to adjust even farther upward then he did but it’s a very stiff sentence by Minn precedent — longest ever for a cop in an excessive force case
— Harry Litman (@harrylitman) June 25, 2021
re: #139 jaunte
Yeah, it bears repeating that you’re dealing with a state that is historically loath to hand out the big penalties in most cases, not just a case like this one. Judge Cahill literally threw the book at him, maybe not as hard as possible, but he wasn’t holding back.

I’ve mentioned before there’s a FB group I’m on called “Old Images of Philadelphia” which delivers what’s promised in the title. It also has a very unhealthy population of people, usually white, that see a picture of anything before 1950 and go “I wish I lived back then, everyone was more polite” or “Things were better back then.”
What these women went through was the kind of shit that happened all the time in the “good ol’ days” that the nostalgia delusionists never want to admit.
Having your freedom being taken away for wearing the ‘wrong’ type of clothing by an angry white dude with a badge and a gun. Yeah, sounds like a fucking Eden…

Here’s a link to an article. The original link doesn’t go to the article I read at the Motorcycle Museum, and I can’t find my way back to that page.
From the second (and better) linked article:
At the time, in many towns, especially in rural America, women wearing pants was a serious violation of the social order. Gussie and Addie were just out of Chicago, barreling west through the ring of small townships that radiated from the city through central Illinois, when they were pulled over by police for their scandalous dress and cited for wearing men’s clothing. This pattern was repeated several times as the sisters roared into towns unaccustomed to women on motorcycles, especially women unaccompanied by men, and definitely not accustomed to women on motorcycles, without men, wearing pants. Still, they persisted.
I bet women wearing men’s clothing was the only law on the books.
re: #143 Teddy’s Person

Honestly, them getting arrested for wearing pants is the least interesting thing about their story.

I like that Loki has turned out to be something like a timey-wimey puzzle box mystery story, similar to how Marvel produced WandaVision as sit-com twist that sometimes gave it a Twilight Zone feel or Falcon and Winter Soldier as a buddy cop action thriller.
I’m partial to the theory that this latest episode (no spoilers) was not what it seemed, but we shall see. Lady Loki / Sylvie has been a great unexpected character, and Marvel landed the pivot pretty well officially introducing their first LBGQT character by having the two Lokis discuss their bisexuality (spoiler … sorry not sorry).
I’m pretty sure this is the series that will set up the entire multiverse concept that will be a huge part of their storytelling going forward. Marvel’s still going to release four movies in the theatres this year, and just dropped the second trailer for their martial arts movie Shang-Chi. Also this year we get Black Widow, The Eternals, and the next Spider-Man movie.
