re: #20 Backwoods Sleuth

more from today’s electoral-vote.com
…Trump lackey David Bossie had an idea that the Dear Leader thought was pretty swell: Cancel the rest of the Republican primaries and caucuses this year. The general idea: Trump has already locked up the nomination (probably true), so the RNC should just declare him to be the presumptive nominee, and call it a day.
As a purely strategic matter, this probably wasn’t the brightest idea. If Trump is nominated the normal way, it’s pretty hard for him to be denied the nomination, barring some disastrous setback (death, conviction, etc.). If everyone arrives for the Republican National Convention as a de facto free agent, by contrast, it opens up a much higher possibility of something… surprising happening.
Despite this, the plan was sailing along, right up until Republican voters heard about it. They pitched an absolute fit, with the result that about 3 hours after news of the resolution became public, Trump announced that he did not support the maneuver after all. In other words, he was for it before he was against it. Shortly thereafter, Bossie withdrew the proposal.
TIL that we have an Andy, America’s Loony!
Well this coin has been around since 2008 and before that we had the Susan B. Anthony & Sacajawea dollars. But I did not know about the Andys.
I got it from a vending machine.
The Andy is about the same size as a quarter, it is just slightly larger and is very easy to mistake for a quarter. You should be able to identify a coin just by feeling it, and it’s very hard to tell an Andy from a quarter if they are side by side in your pocket.

BDS attacked an Israeli anti-war organization for wanting to “normalize a Jewish state, side by side with Palestine” when the purpose of BDS is to dismantle the Jewish State, remove the settlers and establish a Palestinian state on all the lands currently “occupied” by Israel.

Portrait of Fraulein Lieser once belonged to a Jewish family in Austria and was last seen in public in 1925.
Its fate after that is unclear but the family of the current owners have had the painting since the 1960s.
The im Kinsky auction house estimates the painting’s value at more than $54 million (£42 million).
snip
The portrait once belonged to the Lieser family, who were wealthy Jewish industrialists in Vienna.
Ernst Ploil, co-Managing Director of Kinsky Auction House, said they had so far found no evidence that the work had been looted or stolen before or during World War Two.
“The painting is described as lost in all catalogues raisonnés (comprehensive lists of Klimt’s work). In our circles, ‘lost’ means probably destroyed, probably burnt during the war, but in any case no longer in existence; it was not to be expected that it would ever reappear.
“We took an active approach and not only researched the Lieser family as potential restitution claimants, but we also approached potential representatives based on our experience from previous restitution proceedings.”
Got a bill from AT&T saying I owed them 200 bucks and was facing disconnection. I forgot I even had AT&T - so I went online and paid them figuring I could close the account with a good conscience.
To get to that step I had to receive a phone call at my land line number - I have no idea where the phone I used to use even is.

I miss the days when only the highest-level loons like Wally George and Pat Robertson had shows.
A week ago, I walked home from work, using a flashlight to pick my way through some ice and snow, at times. The flashlight helped me not walk into the broken branch dangling at face level. I saw some moss and lichen on it, so I grabbed a twig to take home to see in the light. I saw green moss, gray/green lichen, and tiny purple buds at all the tips. So I stuck it in a glass of water.
Today, four buds popped open, showing pink petals.

re: #57 🐈 Crush White Christian Nationalism 🐈

Pretty much. This is a family that has spent decades using money and influence to sit above the law. If detectives/prosecutors came sniffing around, he would suddenly take an interest in either their careers or those of their superiors to make things go away. If that failed, he’d do everything in his power to stall or kill the investigation by refusing to cooperate or providing false information. And if the prosecution felt confident enough to bring charges, he’d talk them into letting him plead guilty to a lesser charge whose only penalty was a small fine so they could polish their resumes by “bringing [him] to justice.”
And if he’d never run for the presidency, he could have probably kept up that act for the rest of his days. But he chose to paint a bullseye on his forehead and then dare anybody with so much as a stone in hand to take a shot.

Hmmm: let’s see:

* Vienna
* last displayed in 1925
* privately re-surfaced (where? how? who?) in the 1960s
* publicly resurfaces in 2024 (with huge-money estimate)
Gee, you think the Nazis/WWII might have some contribution to this picture’s history???
It’s what we used to call in the art trade a “problematic provenance”.
Though it does sound like the auctioneers have at least tried to determine if there are any heirs of the original owners around: and apparently there aren’t (wonder why?….//)

Jury reaches decision in E. Jean Carroll civil defamation trial against Trump. Verdict will be read soon
From CNN’s Lauren del Valle and Kara ScannellA jury in Manhattan federal court has reached a verdict in the civil defamation trial to determine how much in damages Donald Trump should pay E. Jean Carroll — if any — for defamatory public statements he made about the writer in 2019, according to a court official.
The panel of seven men and two women deliberated for approximately 2 hours 45 minutes today.
During her closing argument, Carroll’s attorney said the writer deserves at least $24 million in damages.
The verdict will be read in court shortly.
Trump will not be in the courtroom as he departed the courthouse in his motorcade around 4 p.m. He is not required to be present in court.
more details about the painting
After the painting returns to Vienna, it will be auctioned on April 24, 2024, on behalf of the current owners (Austrian private citizens) along with the legal successors of Adolf and Henriette Lieser based on an agreement in accordance with the Washington Principles of 1998.
^my bold^
snip
In the first catalogue raisonné of Klimt’s paintings, published in 1967 by Fritz Novotny and Johannes Dobai, the sitter is labeled Fräulein Lieser. The authors of more recent catalogs of works (Weidinger 2007 and Natter 2012) have identified the sitter as Margarethe Constance Lieser (1899-1965), daughter of the industrial magnate Adolf Lieser. New research by the auction house into the history and provenance also opens up the possibility that Klimt’s model could have been another member of the Lieser family: either Helene Lieser (1898-1962), the first-born of Henriette Amalie Lieser-Landau and Justus Lieser, or their younger daughter, Annie Lieser (1901-1972).
Klimt’s PatronsThe Lieser family belonged to the circle of wealthy, upper-class Viennese society in which Klimt found his patrons and clients. The brothers Adolf and Justus Lieser were among the leading industrialists of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Henriette Amalie Lieser-Landau, known as Lilly, was married to Justus Lieser until 1905 and was a patron of the avant-garde. Catalogs of Klimt’s paintings state that Adolf Lieser commissioned Gustav Klimt to paint a portrait of his eighteen-year-old daughter Margarethe Constance. However, there is some suggestion that the art-loving Lilly Lieser commissioned Klimt to immortalize one of her two daughters.
In 1942, Leiser was removed from her home and deported to either Riga, Latvia or to the concentration camp Auschwitz (there is conflicting documentation of where she was deported) and murdered in 1943. Her two daughters were able to escape Europe, travel to England and eventually reside in the United States.
I read somewhere that the financial penalties in all these cases that Trump will appeal still have to be put up by him in escrow while the appeals are pending.

Well, “looted or stolen” is a pretty broad term when it comes to Nazi confiscations of Jewish-owned property (during wartime or not): while the owners may have been considered dispensable, their goods (especially potentially-valuable artworks) were not. Just a guess*, but the Klimt portrait in question MIGHT have been part of a “forced sale”; i.e. the Lieser family MIGHT have had to sell it off (at what was unlikely to be a comparable market price) in order to get an exit visa** or whatever; after which, the painting entered (one way or another) the open art market, and - years later - ended up in a “respectable” collection somewhere. And finally surfaces now, worth €50M+.
* I know nothing about the Liesers, but their situation in pre-war Austria was not unique
**”forced sales” - often laundered through Swiss entities - were/are a common issue in tracing wartime art looting.
ADD:

Thanks for the background info. Sounds like the typical “legal looting” the Nazis specialized in: just glad to see it looks like the Lieser family (whoever is left of it) is being cut in to the windfall….

Sir William Payne-Gallwey, 2nd Baronet (1807 - 19 December 1881)[1] was an English Conservative Party politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1851 to 1880.
Payne-Gallwey was the son of Sir William Payne-Gallwey, 1st Baronet and his wife Harriet Quin, daughter of the 1st Earl of Dunraven. His father was a British Army general and governor of the Leeward Islands. Payne-Gallwey was a major in the 7th Fusiliers and succeeded his father in the baronetcy in 1831. He was a deputy lieutenant and J.P. for the North Riding of Yorkshire.[2]
At a by-election in March 1851, Payne-Gallwey was elected unopposed as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Thirsk.[3] He was re-elected without a contest in the next four general elections, and in contested elections in 1868 and 1874.[3] He held the seat until he stood down at the 1880 general election.[1][3]
Payne-Gallwey died at the age of 74, as a result of severe internal injuries sustained after falling upon a turnip while out shooting in the parish of Bagby.[4]

Of course, with the benefits of using Trumpian mathematics, such as that used when declaring the value of his properties while applying for a loan or when declaring to the taxman, the value of his properties, he’ll claim the $83M to be equivalent $137 and change.

I deleted Truth Social a long time ago, but I would bet he already has.

They’re not going to be his to sell, after Judge Engoron throws the book at him.
I would love nothing more than the first story on Monday morning to be Engoron ruling in favor of NYC to the tune of $370M and taking away the Trump Org’s business license for no less than 3 years.
Okay so what happens if fat bastard can’t come up with the money to put into escrow? Can he not appeal if so?

Tim Pool had two guys on his show to debunk the “man-made climate change cult narrative”, and the conversation went off the rails so much they ended up talking about how scientists are trying to open “spiritual portals” and summon literal demons using particle accelerators.
Sound to me like the results of any conversation amongst 2 or more MAGAidiots.

I bet she would pay Trump at least $500 at a Nevada Brothel to grab her.

AW HELL YEAH
JOE BIDEN IS MR. CLEAN!
Except, of course, to the dedicated MAGAt crowd: who are positively convinced that Crooked Joe is the Crookedest President EVER, and that he (and his son Crooked Hunter) have only stayed out of jail because his decades in public office (and, BTW, are you aware Joe Biden is *OLD*?) have let him manipulate the Deep State System to avoid any retribution for his Unprecedented Massive Corruption…. whatever it might be.

Trump’s super PAC raised $46 million in 6 months
politico.comSo in a year he should be ready to pay?
If Trump uses super PAC money to pay civil judgement someone will have to pay taxes on the money at the “gift rate”, and given that $83 million vastly exceeds the annual ($17 K in 2023) AND lifetime $12.92 million in 2023) exclusion value the max 40% rate would likely apply to most of the funds

He’s going to sell Tiffany, isn’t he.
If her husband’s a Republican, only he can sell her. If not, it’s less clear, and Donald may be able to sell her.
re: #71 🐈 Crush White Christian Nationalism 🐈
My wife and I still don’t own a ‘smart’phone and really have no need for one. We don’t really travel much and never needed one when we did. I’m at home most of the time and my wife is very happy to not have one because her work can’t bother her on her weekends like they do everyone else at her job. Her fellow workers are a bit jealous as their weekends are frequently disturbed by the head boss and his latest idea(s).
I have a Surface Pro that I carry when I am out and about and expect to be waiting somewhere for a bit (new tires, doc, etc) and it’s a lot easier on the eyes than a phone. My wife hauls her knitting around for the same purpose…lol
