The judge in Trump’s hush money trial is finding it hard to keep personal information about jurors from leaking out, a new poll shows President Biden trailing his rival by double digits in a hot dog eating contest, and workers at a Connecticut bird sanctuary rescued two vultures who got intoxicated after dumpster diving.
Trump Supporters Gettin” Fired Up Y’all……..
A man just set himself on fire outside the Trump courthouse, apparently 50 feet from an MSNBC reporter who reported it live.
Merchan had it right - trial will start Monday with opening statements. Tuesday will be sanctions hearing. Prosecutors will begin their case in chief on Wednesday. All times are estimated.

#breaking: Full jury has just been selected in #TrumpTrial, 12 and all six alternates after several downplayed social media posts. Inner City Press live tweeted it - omitting places of employment, etc- stories on https://patreon.com/MatthewRussellLee and https://matthewrussellleeicp.substack.com
Oh, and in that stunt appearance at a Harlem bodega? Guess how the drive up/down to that bodega went?
It went exactly as well as you’d think:
So, this is what it really looked like when Trump drove through a part of Harlem.pic.twitter.com/Uib7vhKcOF

re: #4 jaunte
Someone in the replies asked, “Mike Lindell?”
If it’s the case that this was a Trump supporter, I can’t imagine the depths of depression and self-abnegation that would lead anyone to make a fatal pointless sacrifice in service of what is likely the least deserving person on earth.

We have entirely fake news outlets that report on Trump’s narcissistic inner-world as if it represents reality. They’ll have driven a lot of idiots off the deep end.
Fire outside the Trump courthouse is satan himself spitting fireballs in anger that one of his favorite demons is in the process of being held accountable.

re: #4 jaunte
I suppose we should be thankful, that if this was indeed a MAGAt, that he lit himself on fire instead of trying to firebomb innocent person(s) he perceived as being as being against the Don.
Mental illness knows no political affiliation. Anyone can have issues, and the fact that everyone knew cameras would be there means that it’s a great spot to attract attention for any kind of cause - whether it’s to protest the trial, the ongoing war in Gaza, or anything else that comes to mind.
re: #18 jaunte
Exactly. A high-profile event like Trump’s trial is naturally going to draw an army of media and it’s a perfect opportunity for someone to make some kind of political or social statement. In this case, by immolating himself. But we don’t know his political persuasion or what motivated him to do that.
re: #18 jaunte
We don’t actually know what the motivation was, though.
One of MSNBC’s “contributors” (ex-ATF agent) was opining that it was probably *just* a suicide attempt, and the location was likely chosen (for whatever, and as-yet undetermined reason) for its publicity value/presence of cameras; though as the clip in no. 15 illustrates, it’s hard, in 2024, to find anyplace where somebody won’t be able to video it - for whatever “it” it is….
ADD: The courthouse (and now, open-air crematorium) is about a three-minute amble from my house: I probably should get out from behind the keyboard and go over there as LGF’s on-site reporter….

It wasn’t that long ago that someone immolated themselves to protest the war in Gaza. I guess we’ll eventually find out what cause this person was protesting. He is almost certainly going to die though.
re: #29 Dave In Austin
I’m curious to see whether being forced to be in a courtroom where they have to see, hear and smell him will affect a Trump supporter’s view of the man.

Andrew C Laufer, Esq
@lauferlawPeople have to get over themselves if they believe they’ll be widespread violence if Trump is held in contempt resulting in incarceration for the pendency of trial. Trump did nothing for #January6th defendants even though he had two weeks to pardon them all. Everyone knows he only cares for himself. He’s also a coward.
Local win for water and air and health quality.
Key words: “CHEMICLY RECYCLES”.
WTF that?
A company from Texas, and that in itself is an alarm, wanted to put a plastics recycling plant in a township not far from me, which would use my drinking water to wash and draw chemicals out of plastics through high heat and then ship the product out by rail.
Would have had a hundred trucks a day, used a ton of water every day, and derived chemicals such as benzene, toluene and xylene in liquid form and the whole thing stunk to high heaven.
They jerked around, mumbled and refused to act in a timely manner, to the point the permits were revoked.
Couldn’t even come up with a storm water plan. By a major river, that provides drinking water for hundreds of thousands.
They announced the were taking their magnificently rotten plant somewhere else.
And the stooges here are gargling about Biden and liberals and Democrats and on and on.
They hid behind “proprietary” and “trade secrets” BS. Thankfully the DEP stood up along with the sane citizens and jammed these jackals.
Of course the coverage around here is very sparse, and all we hear is how much money and jobs are lost and the same old shit.
Find a small town.
Buy a few people.
Present a lie as truth.
Then screw them people into the ground.
One DEP statement for length.
Good good good

New Device Can Detect Covid in the Air Within Five Minutes

The whole “Trump farting” thing is comedy gold, but just bear in mind that this is based on sources that are unsubstantiated to us. Essentially, it’s an arbitrary third party telling us, “A source I trust told me this.” Not that I don’t think it’s possible, or even likely; it sounds exactly like what would happen when a 77-year-old man on a strict diet of garbage food falls asleep. Just bear in mind, we don’t even necessarily have reason to trust the primary source, let alone the hearsay source.

It’s just gossip, of course, but it’s still humorous and not outside the realm of possibility, especially given Trump’s taste for junk food.
But maybe, when he has his autobiography written, he can call it “The Shart of the Deal”.

Lindsay Beyerstein
@beyersteinThe overarching theme in the manifesto is a conspiracy theory that that the US government has been taken over by a Ponzi scheme to hide illicit crypto profits. Shades of Sovereign Citizen, but none of the classic SovCit tics.
Seems that conspiracy theories (and their themes) have splintered into so many different variations that it’s hard to classify this one.

We have a variant of the SovCit thing here in Czech Republic. They insist that Czechoslovakia is still a thing, that they can write special letters to the courts to “reclaim their Czechoslovak identity” and believe they don’t need license plates, driver’s licenses, etc., and that any fines/penalties stemming from their crimes are “illegitimate”.
This ideology has definitely borrowed from the American Sovereign Citizen movement.

Things escalated wildly in 1988 when former CIA Director George H.W. Bush got the White House, but this plan had been in action long prior:
Why is Stanley Kubrick’s comedy about mutually assured destruction called Dr. Strangelove: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb? Because he was a cocky secret fascist who was getting us to stop worrying and love the bomb. Why did he make A Clockwork Orange? So we’d rejoice at ultra-violence designed to desensitize us to the horrors of the world.
Why were the Manson Family murders crawling with cover-ups and intelligence agents? Because our government wanted to make us fear for our lives and believe that hippies are deranged psychopaths.
Why did Walt Disney produce a fraudulent documentary that told us Lemmings follow each other off cliffs? So we would believe it.
Why did The Beatles tell us to fear the taxman, to scoff at revolution, chase nonsense conspiracy theories, and that happiness is a warm gun? So we would believe it.
Why did Easy Rider tell us that the hippie movement was dead? So we would believe it.
Why did Chinatown end with defeatism in the face of massive corruption? So we would believe it.
Why did George Orwell tell us of a hellish future of totalitarian control that we are powerless to stop? So we would believe it.
Why did Wall Street tell us “greed is good”? So we would believe it.
Why did Do The Right Thing tell us we’re all racially tribalized? So we would believe it.
Why did Simpsons creator Matt Groening make a comic strip called Life in Hell? So we would believe it.
And on, and on, and on, and on. When it comes to any popular media, if you ask yourself the question, “Why would secret doomsday cult kleptocrats want the public to consume this?”, you will find your answers.

re: #124 gocart mozart
Mental illness is never pretty.
Bennett Braun, psychiatrist who inflamed a ‘satanic panic,’ dies at 83Bennett Braun, a psychiatrist who inflamed the 1980s “satanic panic” with his controversial treatment of multiple personality disorder, including in patients who alleged that he misused drugs and hypnosis while spawning false memories of devil worship, human sacrifice and child sex abuse, died March 20. He was 83 and lived in Butte, Mont.
His family announced the death in an obituary published by a funeral home in North Miami Beach, Fla. The obituary did not share details, but one of his former wives, Jane Braun, told the New York Times last week that he died of complications from a fall while on vacation in Lauderhill, Fla. She did not return messages seeking comment.
A charismatic psychiatrist who was often cited by the press, Dr. Braun rose to prominence while treating multiple personality disorder, now known as dissociative identity disorder. The condition, in which patients are found to have two or more distinct identities, was considered extremely rare before diagnoses mushroomed in the early 1980s, amid a wave of growing clinical interest that Dr. Braun helped stimulate.
He co-founded a professional organization, the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation; trained thousands of practitioners at annual conferences; and launched a first-of-its-kind hospital unit at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke’s Medical Center in Chicago, now known as Rush University Medical Center.The unit treated “the worst of the worst,” Dr. Braun said, taking in multiple personality disorder patients referred by doctors from across the country. Virtually all of the patients had been sexually abused as children, according to Dr. Braun, who aimed to treat the condition by excavating repressed memories of childhood trauma, at times with help from hypnosis and medications.
While Dr. Braun had several high-profile allies, many experts considered his therapeutic ideas dangerous and unscientific.
“The recovered-memory epidemic is the psychological quackery of the 20th century,” sociologist Richard Ofshe told the Chicago Tribune in 1994. Richard J. McNally, a Harvard psychology professor, described recovered-memory therapy as “the worst catastrophe to befall the mental health field since the lobotomy era.”

I’ve heard of this before. The theory goes that because the Simpsons accurately predicted so many things (including Trumps eventual Presidency), that it is actually a subversive tool used by the deep state/NSA/illuminati/Bilderberg group etc. to condition us to what’s coming down the line to better keep us under control.

Israel is increasingly worried by the prospect of the International Criminal Court in The Hague issuing arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli political and military leaders for alleged breaches of international law in Gaza, Israeli television reported Thursday.
According to Channel 12 news, three ministers and several government legal experts held an “emergency discussion” at the Prime Minister’s Office on Tuesday about how to fend off the potential warrants.
The meeting was convened after Jerusalem received messages indicating that such warrants could be issued in the near future, the report said, without citing any sources.
Foreign Minister Israel Katz’s office confirmed to The Times of Israel that the meeting took place and said there were also discussions about the possibility that warrants could be issued against IDF officers.

Gay furry hackers leak data of transphobic pastor & far-right news network
The group claims to have targeted numerous anti-LGBTQ+ political entities over the last year.
A self-described hacker group of gay furries called SiegedSec claims to have leaked data from the far-right media outlet Real America’s Voice and publicly released the cell phone number of a transphobic pastor.
The hack of Real America’s Voice allegedly included the names and phone numbers of over 1,200 users of the outlet’s phone app as well as information about the network’s top shows, including ones hosted by anti-LGBTQ+ Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and other far-right figures.
Real America’s Voice has broadcasted numerous segments accusing the LGBTQ+ community of “targeting” and “grooming” children. The outlet has also platformed the views of anti-LGBTQ+ religious leader Bryan Fischer.
Earlier this year, SiegedSec claimed to have hacked the River Valley Church of Burnsville, Minnesota — and to have spent $6,200 in church funds to purchase 100 inflatable sea lions — after its lead pastor, Rob Ketterling, allegedly made transphobic remarks. In the past, Ketterling said the legalization of gay marriage would lead to the legalization of pedophilia, polygamy, and bestiality.
The group also claimed to have doxxed politicians who supported North Carolina’s new age verification law, a law that categorizes LGBTQ+ content as explicit adult material.

The hack of Real America’s Voice allegedly included the names and phone numbers of over 1,200 users of the outlet’s phone app as well as information about the network’s top shows, including ones hosted by anti-LGBTQ+ Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and other far-right figures.
Real America’s Voice has broadcasted numerous segments accusing the LGBTQ+ community of “targeting” and “grooming” children. The outlet has also platformed the views of anti-LGBTQ+ religious leader Bryan Fischer.
Earlier this year, SiegedSec claimed to have hacked the River Valley Church of Burnsville, Minnesota — and to have spent $6,200 in church funds to purchase 100 inflatable sea lions — after its lead pastor, Rob Ketterling, allegedly made transphobic remarks. In the past, Ketterling said the legalization of gay marriage would lead to the legalization of pedophilia, polygamy, and bestiality.
The group also claimed to have doxxed politicians who supported North Carolina’s new age verification law, a law that categorizes LGBTQ+ content as explicit adult material.
Wow, this is the weirdest episode of Superfriends ever…

I can’t think of a reason that a subset of app users would have their data leak, so I assume that 1,200 is the user count.

Quite a majority that.

Ugh, I feel really bad for this guy, regardless of how off-the-rails he is.
I’ve mentioned this before, but there use to be a woman who would regularly roller skate on the plaza in front of the Philly Art Museum while waving a giant flag. It was some kind of protest for peace. I used to end my Fairmount Park bike rides there and and just hang out.
Eventually I stopped seeing her. Found out later she committed suicide by setting herself on fire. Really sad that whatever she was going through, she felt that was the only answer.

There is not enough dilaudid in the world to not make that anything but horrific pain.
A few weeks ago, the editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Chris Quinn, became an instant hero to the legion of news consumers who are fed up with the media’s refusal to call Donald Trump what he is.
In his weekly “letter from the editor,” under the headline “Our Trump reporting upsets some readers, but there aren’t two sides to facts,” Quinn wrote:
The north star here is truth. We tell the truth, even when it offends some of the people who pay us for information.
The truth is that Donald Trump undermined faith in our elections in his false bid to retain the presidency. He sparked an insurrection intended to overthrow our government and keep himself in power. No president in our history has done worse.
As for those who equate Trump and Joe Biden, that’s false equivalency. Biden has done nothing remotely close to the egregious, anti-American acts of Trump…
… There’s a lot of anger with the national media, the New York Times and the Washington Post in particular. People feel that they have allowed the Fox News kind of media to set the agenda..,
Dear right wing pocasters/influencers, now you know how to get headlines during the Trump felony trial. GO FOR THE LIKES & LISTENERS!!!

Strong hoppy start.
Some sweetness creeping in.
A bit fruity finish, and no bitterness.
Some mild berry undertones.
No pour, straight from the can as I like as I hate to do dishes.
Not bad overall.
A hotter day will be the test.

re: #218 Patricia Kayden
Yikes!! I can’t imagine the pain he’s in right now.
He’s probably been anesthetized completely: and depending on the extent of the burn damage, it’s probably better if he doesn’t come out of it.
If Donald J. Trump takes the stand at his criminal trial in Manhattan, prosecutors want to cross-examine him about recent lawsuits he’s lost, attacks he’s made on women and a judge’s opinion that his sworn statements in a civil case rang “hollow and untrue.”
The proceeding, known as a Sandoval hearing, was a high-stakes affair for all the parties: the prosecutors, the defense team, Mr. Trump and Justice Merchan himself. Whatever the judge decides will inform whether the former president decides to testify and, if he does, what prosecutors can ask him.
Though Mr. Trump has said he would testify in his own defense, there have been plenty of signs that he is not fully committed to. This week, his lawyers asked prospective jurors to assure them that they wouldn’t hold a failure to testify against Mr. Trump.
