Wuhan virus: Rats and live wolf pups on the menu at China food market
SHANGHAI (AFP) – The food market where China’s deadly virus surfaced was a smorgasbord of exotic wildlife ranging from wolf pups to species linked to previous pandemics such as civets, according to vendor information and a Chinese media report.
The Huanan Seafood Market in the central city of Wuhan came under greater scrutiny on Wednesday (Jan 22) as Chinese officials said that the virus which has so far killed nine people and infected hundreds may have originated in a wild animal sold at the food emporium.
Past deadly epidemics have been blamed on wild animals – severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) was linked to Chinese consumption of civet meat – setting the Chinese authorities up for potential embarrassment if lax supervision of wildlife trafficking is found at fault in the latest outbreak.
A price list circulating on China’s Internet for a business at the Wuhan market lists a menagerie of animals or animal-based products, including live foxes, crocodiles, wolf puppies, giant salamanders, snakes, rats, peacocks, porcupines, camel meat and other game – 112 items in all.
Going by Fallout 4, wolf meat gives you excellent night vision, so I could see eating wolf puppy flambé.

Ocasio-Cortez: ‘Democratic Party is a center or center-conservative party’
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) returned to her criticism of the Democratic Party’s establishment on Monday, declaring the Democrats a “center or center-conservative party.”
In an interview at MLK Now 2020 in New York, the freshman congresswoman lamented the unwillingness of party leaders, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), to allow progressive priorities such as “Medicare For All” to reach the floor for a vote.
“We don’t have a left party in the United States,” the congresswoman said. “The Democratic Party is not a left party. The Democratic Party is a center or center-conservative party.”

Gabbard sues Hillary Clinton over ‘Russian asset’ smear
Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard on Wednesday sued former secretary of state and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton for defamation, the latest salvo in a public feud following Clinton’s suggestion that Gabbard is a “Russian asset.”
In the lawsuit, filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, Gabbard alleges that Clinton’s suggestion that she is favored by Russians is “retribution” for Gabbard backing Clinton’s rival Bernie Sanders in the 2016 primary.
Story Continued Below
“Whether out of personal animus, political enmity, or fear of real change within a political party Clinton and her allies have long dominated,” the lawsuit states, “Clinton lied about her perceived rival Tulsi Gabbard.”

Judge deals blow to woman charged for being topless at home
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A judge refused to overturn part of Utah’s lewdness law Tuesday in a blow to a woman who’s fighting criminal charges after her stepchildren saw her topless in her own home.
Judge Kara Pettit sided with prosecutors who argued that lewdness is commonly understood to include women’s breasts in American society, the Salt Lake Tribune reported. Judges should not second-guess what lawmakers have decided is lewd conduct, she wrote.
It wasn’t immediately clear whether Tilli Buchanan would appeal the ruling. If she does not, her misdemeanor charges would move toward trial. If convicted, she could face jail time and be forced to register as a sex offender for 10 years.
Yay! I knew I saw afternoon links.
[REDACTED]
I’m also pretty sure the customers aren’t getting authentic wolf pups, just chinese knockoffs.
They’ll still wolf it down.
I guess Duran-Duran’s lyrics didn’t make it through google translate.
Judge deals blow to woman charged for being topless at home
Is he dealing hookers too?
Oh, no that’s over in Traffic.
She’s a lucky lady, getting that stuff delivered to her at home.
Disclaimer/I have no idea what blow is other than John Belosi apparently did know/
Blow is apparently a gold digger. Because it loses the job as soon as it is married.
“hanging drywall” seems like a pretty obscure euphemism but I’ll roll with it.
They was ‘splatterin’ plaster’!
According to the photo, she has no soul, so she doesn’t have to worry about going to hell.
But the picture was not good enough for me to make complete judgement on the case.
IYKWISAITYD.
Do you know who else could really deal a blow?
Why do I suspect a spike in people responding to summons for jury duty?
Seriously, I have no idea what world I’m stuck in where this case made it as far as it did. No one ever thought “WTF? Kids saw a sweaty dust covered tit? Yeah, that isn’t worth our time”
No, just Chinese knockups.
Witchfinder General Warren
Democratic presidential contender Elizabeth Warren said Tuesday she would create an independent task force in the Justice Department to investigate corruption by government officials during the Trump administration.
The Massachusetts senator said her goal is to restore “integrity and competence” to the federal government after President Donald Trump leaves office.
“If we are to move forward to restore public confidence in government and deter future wrongdoing, we cannot simply sweep this corruption under the rug in a new administration,” Warren wrote in the plan.
The progressive Democrat cited a report by a nonpartisan good government group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, which found “unprecedented” corruption in the Trump administration, as well as other reports of self-dealing among administration officials and the president’s family members.
Maybe Hillary will establish a cabinet level Department of Corruption, and let Lizzie go on the warpath.
Department to investigate corruption by government officials during the Trump administration.
I think that is an impeachable offense.
“an impeachable offense”
A peach of an offense.
I was going to post a link to some tasty Witchfinder General links, but all the ut ube videos have their cover art, which is NSFW because it has bewbs, which are known to the state of UT to be lewd.
Here’s some crunchy Celtic Frost rifts instead
If this were an objective body, I might even support it. But they won’t go after the corruption done by Obama hold over officials in the current administration.
Yeah, that’s not totally banana republic or anything. And be careful of the precedent that would set.
What precedent? Investigating Democrats’ corruption is an impeachable offense. Investigating Republicans’ corruption never stops even when the DOJ is nominally controlled by Republicans.
We all know who the deep state likes best.
“Mom always liked you better!” – Tommy Smothers
That is the way I read it too. She’s proposing to do exactly what Trump is being impeached for. Investigating rumors of corruption in the previous administration. She’s just farming out the arm twisting to the DOJ.
It must have been quite a spectacle when all the reporters shouted questions at her about how was this any different than what Trump did. What? Complete silence from the press you say? That sure sounds strange.
Is this Warrens way of saying she is going to vote to Acquit?
Sounds like she’s already planning out the next five years.
Corruption like when Warren plotted a leadership coup at the CFPB?
She lacks any sense of irony.
She lacks any sense.
Well she is a praying mantis in humanoid form so it stands to reason.
Maybe she sees that the Republican is just the Democratic party moving slower, and thinks “They must both be conservative.”
But clearly anyone who thinks the democrats are not conservative enough are reactionaries.
I would expect Utah to be the 57th state to liberalize their lewdness laws, and that’s only because there aren’t 58 states.
hehe. I thought we were in the 10th circuit. Didn’t they just legalize being topless in public?
AFAIK, the 10th Circuit ruled that a female-only topless ban in Fort Collins, Colorado, likely violates the equal protection clause. AFAIK, the same issue of discrimination was at issue in the case SCOTUS refused to hear about a New Hampshire ban on public exposure of female papillum that keeps male legal.
Well it IS about time they got serious about lewdness.
Suggestive condom wrappers prompt Utah health officials to destroy them all
That’s ridiculous, why would they do that?
Ugh. Destroy them. Destroy them all.

topless at home
The first thing I do when I get home is undress. What’s the problem?
*covers eyes*
Put it back on!
That’s not the problem, the problem is you’re not supposed to stand in the window rubbing lotion on your skin as people outside run away screaming.
The pole in your living room?
OFFS. Ten dollar fine and “don’t do it again”.
But no… this can only be decided by extremists from both sides entering Thunderdome.
Like every other fucking battle in America today.
Fine the state and disbar the prosecutor. Absolute nonsense to punish parents for parading around nude in front of their kids. Is it creepy? Sure. None of anyone’s business, though. If you want to pay for your kid’s therapy down the line, that’s on you.
Is sex dirty?
Woody Allen: If you do it right
Judge Kara Pettit sided with prosecutors who argued that lewdness is commonly understood to include women’s breasts in American society, the Salt Lake Tribune reported. Judges should not second-guess what lawmakers have decided is lewd conduct, she wrote.
pettit? Petite? I think we know the real reason why Kara didn’t overturn…
“SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A judge refused to overturn part of Utah’s lewdness law Tuesday in a blow to a woman who’s fighting criminal charges after her stepchildren saw her topless in her own home.

What a crock of shit. She was in her home, with her children.
If anyone should have been slapped with indecent exposure in front of their kids it would have been my old man plopping down in front of the TV in his tighty whities. No one wants to see that shit.
Stepchildren FWIW, and IIRC that makes a difference for the purposes of this law. But I can’t be assed to look it up. I’m too busy trying to figure out how to use more four letter acronyms.
That said, it does sound like a good case for jury nullification barring evidence not already publicly known. Is not like not step parent has never acted on urges about their step kid.
Sure and the step child thing makes it a little different. But, still they’re just accusing her of being topless in front of them.
Right, which is why I said it sounds like a good candidate for jury nullification.
(Again, on the assumption that we don’t know what evidence the prosecutor is sitting on. This is still in the preliminary stage, where everything the defendant says is assumed to be true and we haven’t seen the prosecutor’s evidence.)
The prosecutor is furiously clicking on Pornhub stepmom videos looking for evidence.
Him too?
Yeah, like the judges in Utah are going to sit idly by while some yahoos engage in jury nullification.
I got yelled at by a judge when I was called for jury duty for just mentioning jury nullification. The defense lawyer was asking us potential jurors about our opinions and when he got to me, we started going down “would you …” and it was clear he was asking if I was down for jury nullification. I asked him if that is what he was talking about and the judge when high and to the right.
She gave everyone a lecture about how she (the judge) decided matters of the law and we (the jury) only decided on the facts. And there was no way the jury could fail to find against the defendant even if they disagreed with the law. At the end of the lecture I she asked me if I would violate an oath to be a faithful juror. I said I wouldn’t take an oath that would make me violate my own conscious. She had me escorted out of the room right away.
I did get picked for another jury later. My name must have been on a list because the DA asked me if I had any problems with murder laws (that was what the charge was).
“You sound a little full of yourself, judge citizen. Due to your inability to be objective, I accept your resignation from the bench.”
There was a bill in the State Legislature a few years back that would require a judge to inform the jury of the jury’s right to render a non guilty verdict even if the facts of the case were against the accused.
Then step parents can’t discipline their step kids?
“You’re not my Mom!”
Fourscore, if you made it through multiple kids and none of them announced you must not be their real father some time between ages 14 and 19, well, just let me assure you that that doesn’t prevent the punishment from being doled out…
“Judges should not second-guess what lawmakers have decided is lewd conduct, she wrote.”
She’ll never get promoted with that attitude.
This paragraph was near the end of the article and provides some interesting context:
“The charges against her were filed after the children’s mother reported the incident to child welfare officials working on a separate investigation involving the kids.”
“We don’t have a left party in the United States,” the congresswoman said. “The Democratic Party is not a left party. The Democratic Party is a center or center-conservative party.”
The United States is not a People’s Democratic Republic, either, you loopy bint.
Your “ideas” are stupid and dangerous and nobody with any sense wants to watch you and your Stalinist LARPers destroy this long running successful national experiment.
“The charges against her were filed after the children’s mother reported the incident to child welfare officials working on a separate investigation involving the kids.”

Yes I asked this question in the last post but I really don’t know how a real trial works having avoided the court system in this country.
Maybe one of the legal eagles around here can answer this.
If this were a normal trial, could the prosecutors call witnesses not called at a grand jury?
And can the prosecutors ask for documents during the trial that were not put into evidence ahead of the trial itself?
The answer to both questions is yes.
I’m not a trial lawyer so this is based on book larnin’ not experience, but in real court the question is not whether you can call witnesses not called before the Grand Jury, but whether you gave the defense the witness list and notice of/access to the exhibits in advance.
This, the prosecution can’t bring in surprise evidence/witnesses unless the defense brings up something that they need to contradict in cross-examination.
VA is in play
“I think Virginia is crazy where they want to take away guns,” Trump outlined. “You have a governor that’s — I just can’t believe it — but Virginia is very much in play. I think we are going to win state of Virginia. They want to take everyone’s gun away in Virginia. You can’t do it. You can’t do it. People need that for safety. They need it for hunting and … but many people need it for safety, they need it for safety.”
He continued, “They’re playing with our Second Amendment. Frankly, they’d get rid of it. I watched him in the interview. He would get rid of the Second Amendment if it was up to him. And you have many Democrats saying the same thing. They’re saying it quietly, but if they win these elections, they’re going to try to get rid of the Second Amendment. It will never happen as long as I’m here.”
Look you don’t want the average person to have guns in a crowded place.
– Bloomberg. Surrounded by armed guards.
“Bloomberg, who was surrounded by armed guards, ” should be part of the AP style guide to be used anytime he is mentioned as being in a public place.
And “OK, Bloomer” should be the standard response to anything he says.
Alol
This should play every time he enters a room
I very much doubt VA is in play, considering it went Clinton by 5 points. I guess there could be a VA-specific swing, but a nationwide 5-point swing in favor of Trump is not happening (it would bring along not only VA but also ME, NH, MN, CO, & NV). But it is a smart play for Trump to be playing offense, as that’s what helped him break the Blue Wall last time.
The state could be in play, because Gov Blackface has energized the gun crowd.
That reminds me – has he ever finally admitted to which one he is in the photo?
IIRC, we don’t know which one. And after he admitted to being one of them, he later denied it.
He said he does not recall. So the running joke is that he can be either.
I believe he has awakened a sleeping giant.
But is there really 5 points of pro-gun voters who didn’t vote Trump but would now? That’s where my doubt enters the picture, as I don’t think this group is that large.
It may improve voter turnout, which is typically below 50%.
Sorry, looking it up, turnout tends to ride between 50-60% during Presidential elections.
A price list circulating on China’s Internet for a business at the Wuhan market lists a menagerie of animals or animal-based products, including live foxes, crocodiles, wolf puppies, giant salamanders, snakes, rats, peacocks, porcupines, camel meat and other game – 112 items in all.
The real question is when is Impossible Foods going to get around to making their plant-based substitutes for these meats? I might try an Impossible Wolf Whopper.
I’m kinda interested in the Camel Chops
Our delineation about what animals are OK to eat and which are yucky are 50% irrational anyway.
1) Does it eat shit or dead things? If yes, do not eat (that’s the rational half).
2) Does a full grown member of the species have eyes, nose, and mouth is about the same proportions as an infant human? If yes, do not eat (that’s the irrational half).
We had a Save the Dolphin campaign when dolphin meat started showing up in canned tuna, but there was no Save the Dead-Eye, Alien-Faced Tuna movement.
Your 1st criterion eliminates most seafood, pork, and chicken.
Chickens eat everything, including chickens.
And bear 🙁
To the rational side, I’d add genetic relationship to humans, usability to humans beyond a food source, and relative intelligence as part of a scale. Humans are just another animal species after all.
I had ground camel once.
It was overpowered the the sauce they put on it. So I can’t tell you what it tastes like.
Probably tastes awful then.

“Listen ladies, I’m in a real bind,” UncivilServant say, surveying the damage to his car. It was a disaster. The bumper was in four pieces, the hood was crumpled, one of the tires was tilted at a weird angle, and there were shreds of kid leather glove strewn across the freeway.
“I know my, ah, axle’s a little bent” he said, pulling at his collar for a little ventilation. “But.. maybe there’s some way I could convince you ladies from Camel Towing and Collision to do me a favor.” He stayed silent just long enough to take an inventory of the breath mints and floss he kept in his center console. There’d be just enough.
“If you can see your way to straightening out my axle.. I’d be happy to… reciprocate in some way…”
He said it was saucy!
No dining gloves no love?
“I wear three love gloves, but it’s not what you think”
I was thinking the same thing, but you name any delicious, commonly-eaten meat and you can find a dozen dishes that cover it in overpowering sauce.
This was a burger, so I suspect they thought “neat, ground camel” got it, did some cooking tests, and went “we have to cover that up.”
I peed in a horse once.

If that is not a typo SugarFree needs to interview you.

I’ve not had camel, but I’ve eaten donkey, cow heart, cow stomach (2 ways: Schezuan style (spicy, good) and 5 spice (not-so-good)), rocky mountain oysters, ostrich, alligator, elk, deer, crayfish, snails, frog…
Camel was dry and gamey, with a LOT of gristle
Alligator is good
Ostrich is a bit dry but ok, as is kangaroo
Deer is tasty
Snails are a medium for eating garlic butter or garlic cream sauce
Crayfish are tasty
frog is rubber chicken
I do not eat testicles, tongues or stomachs
I have not had donkey
Heart is tough
Elk is what they serve the greatest heroes in Valhalla.
Oooh I forgot about tongue tacos from a taco truck in Long Beach. Yum!
Whale is also delicious…kinda like “Elk of the sea”
Yak, despite the name, is very good.
I’d try an Impossible Elephant Whopper but I’d need a take home box too, in all likelihood.

When her husband’s three children, ages 9 through 13, walked in, she “explained she considers herself a feminist and wanted to make a point that everybody should be fine with walking around their house or elsewhere with skin showing,” her lawyers said in court documents.
Pssst- that “feminist” stuff is probably not helpful. The part about not being ashamed or afraid of your body is okay.
My read. So the parents were about to get jiggy and the kids were probably dropped off early by the ex-wife and rather than try to explain the birds and the bees decided to make it a learning moment about being o.k. with nudity.
My guess is the step kids and step mom are not on good terms in the first place. The kids probably bitched at her about being topless and she mouthed off back to them. Then ex-wife gets involved.
What a shit show. Like I said above, I can’t believe someone involved didn’t just tell everyone to grow up.

Co-host John King said, “The Republicans had been in charge of the Senate from 2015 until today. If they wanted to call Hunter Biden for some oversight hearing, they had the right in the House for six years, and they didn’t do it, and they had the right in the Senate right now.”
Tapper said. “That’s because in order to defend the President’s conduct, a lot of these individuals since they are not willing to say, ‘Look, what the President did was wrong, I just don’t think it’s impeachable, I just don’t think it should rise to the level,’ they are not willing to say that for whatever reason, they have to create this alternate reality. This alternate reality where President Trump is truly concerned about corruption, even though this is the only instance that we know of where he has ever asked about corruption, even though in the rough transcript, the word ‘corruption’ does not come up. You have to create this alternate reality, and that’s one of the things we see from these Republican senators.”

What’s beyond me is that no one on CNN’s panels every points out things that Glibs discern in a few moments, like Rhywun just did. Are they all far too partisan, stupid or incompetent, or are they just afraid of not being invited back?
I have noticed, though, that if their token panelist from the Right ever makes a good point, the other hyenas start cackling on cue, with laughs that say “you realize only a moron would think that way, right?” So maybe to avoid humiliation they just do as they’re told and just hand the other panelists simple strawmen ostensibly from the Right.
, even though in the rough transcript, the word ‘corruption’ does not come up.
You know what else doesn’t come up in the transcript…
Another little nugget of Witchfinder General Warren’s wisdom:
The plan also calls for a diverse Cabinet and senior leadership team. Warren committed in the plan to have at least half of her Cabinet positions filled by women and people who are “non binary,” or who do not identify as male or female.
Maybe she can get the crazy trannie who runs around suing beauty salons for not waxing his balls to be Secretary of the Treasury. just as long as he’s not a white heterosexual male, who cares if he knows anything about money or banking?
So what is the appropriate ratio of women and non-binary people? And what about the Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, Native Americans, Indians, Muslims. etc.?
More Cabinet posts.
So it’s not enough that women have to fight trannies for a place in athletics?
Tranny fights are more entertaining than bum fights.
Related anecdote – One fine New Orleans early AM, after working my graveyard shift at the bar, I was relaxing on my French Quarter balcony when I hear a commotion. Down the block I spy a very statuesque tranny engaged in rather spirited tug-‘o-war over a purse with one of New Orleans’ Finest. The lady is shrieking “Give me back my bag! Give me back my bag!” while the cop is shouting “Stop resisting!”. Suddenly, the tranny lets go of her purse, causing the rotund, wee cop to stumble backwards. The tranny follows up with a wicked haymaker that sends the cop ass over teakettle onto the sidewalk. the tranny whipped off her shoes and bolted off towards Armstrong Park. The cop gets up runs to his prowl car and starts hollering “Officer down! Officer needs assistance!” into his radio. He climbs into his car and slams the door. Apparently, not realizing in time that he failed to bring his left leg into the auto. He was still rocking back and forth, screaming and clutching his (likely broken) ankle in his seat when 3 other cars rolled up and took off in the direction he indicated. I kinda doubt they ever caught her.
There was a time the constabulary would have been embarrassed by having a tranny get the better of them and just let it go rather than earn a well deserved ribbing from his fellow officers.
I wonder what DoD would look like under her. Lord knows she wouldn’t surround herself with generals/admirals that actually know anything and happen to be white because muh diversity.

If you’re waiting for someone high on meth to finish masturbating, you might be waiting several hours. The drug keeps you at plateau stage (the heightened stage just prior to ejaculation/orgasm) for a long, long time, it’s the main reason people use the drug.
That sounds miserable.
It was.
And sorry, C, but heightened sexual gratification from meth was never the reason I or anybody in the culture that I was aware of. Not saying that might be the primary cause for some, but I very much doubt that’s the reason for the vast majority.
Meth instills confidence, it dispels guilt, it brings an odd sense of hyper-focused Zen, and yeah, it can make one horny. But for most of us, men and women, sex on meth was too difficult to sustain for more than a few minutes at a time. Whiskey dick ain’t got shit on Meth dick. And girls dry out rather quickly after hours on meth and not nearly enough hydration. The whole experience is a hassle.

Every single American—even Trump supporters though they may not realize it—is incredibly lucky that Adam Schiff happens to be in office now, prepared as he is, to perform this skilled, righteous defense of our Republic.
How brave!
More serious:
This breakfast sandwich wants you to believe that Adam Schiff is doing this because he just loves the country so much, and that he would never ever ever just be doing this because he hates Trump. Note that the piece of plastic egg and imitation meat stuffed between two stale buns also worked for the CIA, and it pushed the Russia conspiracy theory for 2 years.
So is this impeachment thing supposed to be done anytime soon?
I think I heard on the news – Saturday. But I’m sure they can change the rules too…
Good. The derp is mindnumbing.
As soon as they agree on the shape of the table.
I thought it was the number of lights they were arguing over.
During the trial, for six days a week, all 100 US Senators have to be present. They have to surrender their electronics,. They have to pass through a metal detector to make sure they are not hiding any. They are only allowed to speak when they have the floor, not even talking to aides, and so on. The words were used “under penalty of imprisonment”.
Will the thought of that help you get through the coming days of the trial?
Also, apparently, the rules state that the only liquids that can be drunk on the Senate floor during the “trial” are milk and water.

Well, you can’t have the senators becoming too comfortable – it may lead to them drawing out the process.
They already did. The 24 hours each for the prosecution and defense were changed from two days each to three days each. The hours during the phase where the rules are debated do not count towards the 24.
I thought it was still the same 24 hours, just stretched out over 3 days instead of 2.
It is. But the trial is stretched out over more days. And AlmightyJB will have to put up with impeachment news coverage for longer.
What a great day to be a Senate page. I’m sure they are all in the back room rolling around on the floor laughing as they compare all the sexts that their bosses have on their phones.

Is this Xi Jinping’s autobiography?
AOC. That’s preposterously retarded even by her own standards.
AFAIK, to the US far left, conservative = Republican = racist as generic terms for ‘bad’. White nationalist, white supremacist, and others are still reserved for special occasions, the equivalent of what profanity used to be. AOC is fundraising for primary challengers to Establishment Ds. Nancy Pelosi refuses to have a floor vote on Medicare for All and AOC’s own Green New Deal bill. The GND vote was in the Senate, not the House, and even then AOC complained that Mitch M was somehow sabotaging the bill by having the vote on the Senate companion to her bill that AFAIK contained the exact same language.
“preposterously retarded” or just trying to redefine?
preposterously retarded

WTF? Are people this ignorant?

The answer is no.
They are even more ignorant.
And this worries me. As DNT notes on top, she’s trying to redefine terms and it’s fooling those idiots.
This is problematic. She’s gonna run a gulag and claim to be libertarian.

The District of Columbia is suing President Trump’s inaugural committee, the Trump Organization and the Trump International Hotel in Washington, accusing them of “grossly overpaying” for event space at the hotel to enrich the president’s family during the 2017 inauguration.
The funds to rent the hotel space came from the inaugural committee. As a nonprofit, the committee was not legally allowed to use “any portion of its funds to be spent in a way that are designed to benefit private persons or companies,” according to the lawsuit. The committee spent more than a million dollars to rent the hotel space, a cost that D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine says is far above market rate.
“We are seeking to recover the nonprofit funds that were improperly funneled directly to the Trump family business,” Racine said in a statement about the lawsuit filed Wednesday. He wants those funds, if they are recovered, to be funneled to a nonprofit promoting U.S. civic engagement.
——-
Trump’s inaugural committee raised a record $107 million for official events, as The Wall Street Journal reported in 2018, and spent almost all of that money. That’s about double what President Barack Obama raised and spent on his 2009 inauguration, according to the newspaper.
The Trump International Hotel has been at the center of many questions about whether the president is improperly profiting from his position. Critics of the president say it is inappropriate for him to profit from state and foreign guests staying at the hotel.
“He wants those funds, if they are recovered, to be funneled to a nonprofit promoting U.S. civic engagement.”
Of course he does. Funneling those extortion payments to “civic minded non-profits” is totally on the up and up. Not like them filthy moneygrubbers in the private sector.
“We are seeking to recover the nonprofit funds that were improperly funneled directly to the Trump family business,” Racine said in a statement about the lawsuit filed Wednesday. He wants those funds, if they are recovered, to be funneled to a nonprofit promoting U.S. civic engagement.
So not only do they not have proper standing (since they were not the allegedly harmed party) they are also not seeking to make restitution, but rather to do exactly what they are alleging Trump did. Honorable public servants.
That woman’s tits in the home story is something else. Who gives a damn if a woman takes out her jugs in front of her kids as long as it isn’t sexual?
Why would it matter if it was sexual? Are you telling people how to raise their kids?
I meant sexual to the kids, if she’s wanting to get her husband or whoever revved up that’s their business.
Yeah I got that, my point remains – so what if the parents want to sexy time up with the kids what business of yours is that?
Sometimes being a contrarian is taking things too far. This is one of those times.
You are all ignoring the essential question here! Q, please explain to them what we should base our ruling on in this case.
One man’s contrarianism is another’s consistent application of the NAP and other libertarian principles.

It is interesting how prosperity, urbanization and University education are apparently driving statism which is the opposite of what libertarians thought was going to happen.

Rothbard wrote this in 1965 implying that a non-Fundamentalist, big-city, urban Non-WASP America was going to be more libertarian.
“… for he feels that the longer he waits the worse things will ineluctably become…” I think I just learned a new “real” word for the first time in decades.
<after all, we see similar trends in non-beltway adjacent red states such as Texas, Florida, and Tennessee, where companies are relocating for better tax environments.
Is Tennessee really trending progressive? We were considering Tennessee and South Carolina as alternatives if the Dems end up turning VA into south Jersey.
Damn, messed the tags up.
I have lived in Nashville for 30 years and the city has certainly trended in that direction. The rest of the state? A definite “NO”. Drive 20 minutes in any direction and you can shoot your guns and talk redneck all day long. There is a lot to like about Tennessee…good climate, reasonable taxes…and people leave you alone. Come and check it out. I would be glad to give you a tour. Email me at dontreadonme11@gmail.com if you want more info.
Winston, our exchange the other evening drew some comment today and I suggested it would be interesting for all of us, and would lead to the discussion you seem to want, if you would write an article setting out the history of this proposition by those you are arguing against, and your arguments, in longer form against it, and submit it here.
I saw that exchange. I think Tarran is misinterpreting some of what I saying here. I actually do like a lot of what Jeff Tucker writes (his attacks on the Regulatory state and identity politics aren’t going to earn him cocktail party invites) though I do have some issues with him: what is this “modernity” and how he liked Big Tech censorship after Charlottesville though he seems to have changed his mind. I recall Tarran accused me of lying about Tucker when I posted an article of his about the EU. I wasn’t ridiculing Tucker’s arguments but how I was skeptical that the Eurocrats would listen to him. And other writers do write good stuff though I have issues with them which is what I post about sometimes.
And I bring up Spencer’s New Toryism article not because I think he was wrong but how he was right! He clearly saw the decline of English Liberalism long before others did.
As for me being a Nazi well I don’t believe in the inherent libertarianness of white people, “native” or not, rural or urban and like to point out how the classical liberals created the public school system to save us from supposedly illiberal immigrants which didn’t backfire at all now did it? And Eugenicists where a key part of the Progressive movement. And modern progs definitely lean eugenicist with their hatred of the poor white men.
And any attempt to control demographics or teach immigrants the Right Things would require TOP MEN to do this let alone define what those Right Things and Right People are so I oppose those for that reasons.
Not to mention that Progressivism, modern and old, are basically White Supremacy in action. Only the Rich Educated Scientific White Men have finally figured out the solution to the problems of humanity so their ideology ought to be imposed on the whole planet, whether their lessers like it or not.
Interesting possibility. There is a lengthy history of the supposed wretchedness of the city versus the supposed virtue of the countryside or the supposed virtue of the city and the supposed wretchedness of the countryside and classical liberalism and modern libertarians have been neck deep in those arguments for a long time.
I think I will write that article. It may take a while though, there is a lot to write about!
Please do. I would be quite interested in reading it.
Seconded.
I liked your earlier remarks, btw.

This 1970 914/6 GT actually failed to meet its estimated price of $1-1.3 million, but it’s now the most valuable 914 ever. That’s because this is one of just 16 works 914/6 GTs built specifically by Porsche’s racing division for competition.
——-
This example, chassis 914 043 1017, first raced at the 24 Hours of Daytona at the hands of Porsche collector and racer Jacques Duval. There, it won its class and finished seventh overall. It would go on to achieve a fourth-in-class finish at the 12 Hours of Sebring, overall victory at the Six Hours of St. Croix, and another class victory in the Carnival at the Three Rivers sprint race, the final event in its racing career. Even with its short competitive stint, 1017’s collection of wins and podiums has made it one of the most successful 914s ever campaigned. According to Hagerty, this is the main reason for its tremendous value, coupled with its originality and rarity.
A surprisingly short racing career. I would have expected that car to have been at Le Mans multiple time. A Porsche factory car is a big deal.
You have a 914, don’t you?
Even if you’ve got Jay Leno kind of money and his collection – I’d spend that kind of cash for another car or different Porsche.
You might be surprised how much fun a lightweight mid engine car can be.
You have a 914, don’t you?
I do. I like it. I don’t drive it nearly enough.
Neighbor has one. They are cool cars.

“Study Finds That Male Voters Find Representative Ocasio-Cortez’s Figure to Be Her Best Quality”
FTA:
“In the Era of MeToo, a disturbing new study finds that 72% of male voters contend that progressive Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s figure is her best quality. According to the findings of the study, commissioned by the University of Missouri, when male voters are presented with Representative Ocasio-Cortez’s policy positions and statements, only 23% of men find them to be “good” or “very good”. In contrast, a whooping 72% of men find her physique to be “good” or “very good”.
“This study highlights the impact of misogyny on the male voting public,” said lead researcher Julianne Margolis. “That is the only explanation we could find for male voters taking a general negative view toward Representative Ocasio-Cortez’s policy positions.”
As an example, Margolis showed that in response to an Ocasio-Cortez quote stating that “socialism is about people” only 20% of men agreed, however when the same participants were shown a picture of the congresswoman’s bust 83% of men found the picture to be “good”.
“It’s distressing, for sure” Margolis lamented. “These men have obviously been indoctrinated to believe that socialism is bad somehow.”
Some of the additional comments provided by the study’s participants were even more distressing to Margolis. In one example, a participant wrote as an additional comment “She needs to talk less and take that top off”. In another, the participant’s sole comment was a crude drawing of a phallus.”
Forgot the link.
unfortunately the NY Times is paywalled anyway.
In another, the participant’s sole comment was a crude drawing of a phallus.
I didn’t do it, so which one of you did?
Crude drawing? That was some fine ass tracing is what I done. How dare they denigrate my work?
It was me okay. I have a thing. It’s like phallic graffiti tourettes.
I was actually expecting this.
Mama said if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing. 72% of male respondents were able to find something nice to say instead of nothing.

Former Reason writer.
No of course not – some people vote Democrat quite deliberately, even from beyond the grave.
TOS has a precedent of former writers (e.g. David Weigel) later revealing their libertarian inclinations were about an inch deep. Who do folks think will be the next to basically come out as a progressive? My bet is either Nolan-Brown or Dalmia.
I’m not sure Shikha has even pretended. ENB and TOS just have a symbiotic relationship; TOS has someone on point to take care of all the SEX! stuff (and some of her work on debunking all the “trafficking” hysteria is pretty good), and ENB has a platform to build a solid resume deep-diving into a contentious issue.
Can you imagine Suder-man being the one writing all the sex work stuff?
I met ENB at a Reason event, and she told people joining our discussion circle there that I have “a wicked sense of humor”. She’s always going to be ok in my book for that. Plus she’s cute, and has the same voice as Tank Girl. So I vote for Dalmia too.
Did she know you were a surgeon? She did try to be a Sugar Baby once.
Dead deer update: just got back and it was still there; a female muntjac (about the size of a large dog). Ambient temps been around 47 (that’s dungarees Frankenstein). I just watched this video on field dressing a deer, and also their video on skinning, and thought “that doesn’t look so hard”. Aside from feeling pretty squeamish initially what with cutting out the anus, I could getter done. I had considered keeping some kit in the car for field dressing if I ever hit a deer, but most of the year round I think I’d need some ice and to rush it straight home. Around here it’s not really if, but when you hit a deer unfortunately. There’s a fancy eatery that serves them up for a tidy profit. Anyway, this time she’s just carrion, but I’m interested now. Thanks for all y’alls replies to my thread on the Hat and Hair post. There are at least three species round here. We have red deer but when you hit one of them it would likely write off your car.
“it’s not really if, but when”
I hit my first deer (a white tail) this past October. AFTER 35 YEARS OF DRIVING WITHOUT HITTING A DEER! The thing totalled my wife’s minivan.
Well I haven’t hit one yet (jinxed!), but it’s slightly unnerving when you suddenly see a little deer face poking out from a hedge as you roll past. They have the road sense of those stacked cardboard boxes from Starksy & Hutch.
I haven’t hit a deer yet but a coworker’s ex-husband had an interesting day once. He hit a deer with his truck on the interstate and after the cop got done writing up the accident, the cop asked if he wanted the deer, and the ex-husband said yes, my uncle likes deer meat. So he went to his uncles. A little while later her ex called her and (she could hear his uncle laughing maniacally in the background), honey you are not going to believe what happened — I hit another deer.
2 deer in one day. Second one totaled the car.
My cousin totaled her Chevy Beretta in a run in with a bear between Florisant and Pike’s Peak one night. It rolled over the hood, dropping the engine block down several inches and smashing the windshield. The cops called Fish & Game, they showed up, then the wrecker showed up, then the Fish & Game guys and the wrecker driver broke down that bear and parceled up the meat for anyone on scene who wanted some.
Watching that video, it’s really the sloshy sounds and the urge to drain out the pool of blood from the body cavity that gets to me. I just want to tip the carcass and get the blood out of it.
I just want to tip the carcass and get the blood out of it.
You know before the stupid progressives ruined this country and banned straws, you didn’t have to tip the carcass at all.
UCS, after I get the deer cleaned out I try to roll it over to let it drain. If its not freezing I’ll bring it back to the house and hose the cavity out with cold water. (Can’t do it if the hose is frozen). Then tilt it up to drain out the water. Cools the deer off faster.
Field dressing a deer isn’t too bad. As long as you are careful not to nick anything in the paunch, everything is OK. As long as you get everything out , you are fine.
The real work is when you bone out the deer. You don’t want to keep any fat on it. Deer fat isn’t like beef fat, it doesn’t taste good. So you need to trim all of that off.
I know some guys who use their ATV’s to bring deer back to their camp and hang them before field dressing them. They say that it is way easier to let gravity help than it is to dress them while they are laying on the ground. I don’t think it is all that hard to field dress a deer on the ground, so I’ve never tried it.
I try to drag the deer to a spot where the front 1/2 is higher than the back half and let gravity be my friend. You ‘re gonna get bloody. You need to go high up into the chest cavity and carefully remove the lungs with out removing any of your fingers. I like to remove the windpipe as well. Open the neck, sever the wind pipe, remove through the chest cavity. A lot of folks use plastic gloves, I don’t but carry a dozen squares of paper towels, clean off my hands and knife.

Did any of the reporters listening to this drivel bring up her past statements?
“The threat of violence in Richmond—and arrest of neo-Nazis—sent other groups into hiding.”
https://twitter.com/GQMagazine/status/1220093060153053190
“No one was shot—a frankly extraordinary turn of events given the sheer amount of weaponry, the density of the crowd, and the weapons stuffed casually into backpacks or held loosely in the crooks of pale arms. This happy vicissitude of fate led right-wing groups to declare the event a triumph—in the words of fringe-right publications Gateway Pundit and InfoWars, a “peaceful protest.” Mainstream media, too, bought into this analysis: “Pro-gun rally by thousands in Virginia ends peacefully,” was the assessment of the Washington Post. Having made Northam the butt of their rhetorical ire during the rally, conservative groups further condemned his choice to declare a state of emergency in the state’s capital: “Gov. Northam fantasizes he saved Virginia from volatile situation,” crowed a headline at Breitbart.
All this confidence belied the fact that bloodshed—great and heavy and perhaps unprecedented on American soil—was narrowly averted. A federal motion for detention released Tuesday revealed that three members of neo-Nazi terror group The Base had planned to attend Monday’s rally in Virginia, kitted out with a home-built, functioning fully-automatic rifle capable of firing several rounds at a time; survival gear; and 1,500 rounds of ammunition. They had planned to open fire into the crowd.”

I was somewhat skeptical of this claim when i first heard it.
really? they wanted to commit suicide while damaging their own cause?
Assuming this is true then well it wouldn’t be the first time that terrorists want to cause violence to cause a backlash in the hopes that this will sway the fence sitters that will lead to more violence.
it sounds like they were idiots arrested for another crime and they “discussed” this idea.
Law enforcement are full of shit as often as they are not. I’ll believe they have proof of that when I see it.
true
Questions:
1. So some Nazis were planning on firing on a crowd of 2A supporters? Isn’t that friendly fire, according to the thought process of lofty outlets like GQ?
2. What exactly is the target audience of GQ these days? It seems too declasse for self-satisfied metrosexual hipsters, and it doesn’t seem like the Axe body spray crowd would be attracted to its editorial content. Note: I’m old as fuck, so my perception may be off.
2. It has always been gay dudes.
I dunno but their editorial content has been far-left for a few years now. I don’t believe a word they say.
Ha!!!! I knew this was the tack they were going to take. All hail Gov. Northam!
…held loosely in the crooks of pale arms.
Some of those arms weren’t so pale there, racist.
They know their intended audience won’t bother to look up the truth so that doesn’t matter.

Pssst…that’s not marinara.
Then … what is it?
Spaghetti sauce.
I guess my spaghetti sauce will have to continue to bear the indignity of being referred to as marinara.
So the problem is the hamburger?
*nods*
To me, marinara is tomatoes, onions, garlic and seasonings.
No, it’s not a problem. It’s perfect.
Who gives a shit what you call it? My full-blooded Italian grandmother never made sauce without meat. And she was awesome!
Nice work, Mo!
Thank you!!! ?
He’s just sucking up.
What if she called it vegan white sauce? Would that be a problem?
Yes, Te:d”S. Calling a tomato sauce a white sauce would be a problem.
Mostly. Marinara refers to sailing the sea. So it can have seafood, but never meat. It also generally doesn’t have onions.
My recipe for marinara is olive oil, garlic, tomato, salt & pepper, red wine, one spice (almost always hot red pepper flakes), and one herb.
Um … Wikipedia and Spud say yes to onions. I’d trust Spud over Wikipedia.
Now that the food geeks have chimed in, how does it taste?
Same as usual: excellent.
I don’t measure anything. I just throw stuff in.
I did, however, cook my pasta too long by accident. ?
You could add onions, just like you could add some other vegetable, but not if adding clams, mussels, shrimp, pulpo, etc. Capisce?
It’s not a problem and no one is critiquing the sauce, just pointing out that Marinara by definition does not have meat. (alla marinara means sailor style)
I figured that out after a quick google search. ?
It’s a bugger of a sauce.
Bolognese.
Oh no, it’s DEFINITELY not that.
Why not?
No wine, no milk.
Milk? I get why wine. I do not get why milk.
Well, for starters, Bolognese requires white wine in the sauce, as well as milk. The milk is added first, and the residual acid from the other ingredients plus the heat of the simmer curdles the milk proteins, making finely-distributed fresh cheese, and once the milk’s boiled down, you add the white wine and simmer that down, too.
Then you have Heaven, Ladled Over Pasta.
Just to clarify: the fresh cheese changes the mouth-feel of the sauce quite a bit — it becomes silky and smooth. Dammit, now I’m hungry. Oh well, meatballs in the oven right now.
Mo, I agree the milk is weird. But it’s a non-trivial part of tenderizing/moisturizing the meat. The trick, such as it is, is to cook the meat just until it loses the pink color, add the milk, and cook it down until there’s nothing left but the butterfat, no milky residue. Then the wine if you use it, again cooking down to nothing left but fats, then tomatoes and slowest possible simmer for 4 to 5 hours.
Not enough meat for a bolognese.
My bolognese has a first name…
It’s o, s, c, a, r.
You called? I can’t read that weird furriner word, but it looks like you want my “balogna”
Wasn’t that Jeff Dahmer’s theme song?
Indeed. There should be tomatoes, but Bolognese is all about the meat.
No treble?
D00d. Bolognese isn’t “thicc.”
But it is meaty, which is kind of similar.
Please, sir. I want some more. ///jk
Chili.
It does not have one shred of chili spices in it.
Also, no beans.
Minestrone?
Stew?
>beans
Them’s fightin’ words, lady.
I like beans in chili.
What I made is not chili in part because it has no beans. In other part, because it has Italian herbs and not chili seasonings.
Ragu. Possibly gravy.
THE FUCK?! Ragu, are you SERIOUS?!
The sauce, not the brand.
…yes?
It’s definitely gravy, if you’re Italian.
No. They need to stop that.
Some old Italian immigrant didn’t understand what that word really means and now we have to hear it from them forever? No.
I’ve heard many a NOLA Yat call macaroni and cheese “spaghetti with cheese gravy”. It makes want to cut out their tongues.
Occasionally we will get a #10 can of country/sausage gravy at Sam’s. We call it gravy paint.
Maybe the sailor was from Bologna?

So I’d wins in November it is because of corruption. They are pretty close to admitting that any election Democrats don’t win is either fraudulent or racist or both.
*If he*
I’d wager a fair amount of elections that they win are fraudulent.
Just finished watching Caddyshack for about the 100th time. It never gets old.
“They say for Italians this is skilled labor, you know that?”
I still miss Rodney.
The number of cultural references that came from that movie are amazing.
In fairness it didn’t want to but It felt it owed it to us.
Be the ball, Hype.
+1 Cinderella story
When I was about 8 years old my grandma put me and my brother down in front of the TV and put Caddyshack on while she was making dinner. Apparently she thought it was family friendly. Anyways Cindy Morgan…

Toobin said, “I thought it was dazzling. I thought the way he wove through both the facts of the case and the historical context was really remarkable. It was the second-best courtroom address, since it’s like a courtroom, that I ever heard after a prosecutor named Jonathan Benedict in the Michael Skakel case in Connecticut, was the best I ever heard, and still the best, but that was — when you consider the volume of information he covered using the video, as I think Jake mentioned earlier, the — you know, the witness testimony, the documents, it’s very persuasive stuff, and you know, if people are listening, it’s very hard to imagine that they will think that the Democrats and the House managers are just making this up.”
I understand that Pencil-neck wanted to be a screenwriter. This is his story.
Schiff’s so full of shit it’s pushing his eyes out of their sockets. The Dems couldn’t have picked a worse pointman.

Scenes from the Senate floor:
Sen Mike Lee was fiercely taking notes through Schiff’s remarks, at one point having to stop to massage the palm of his writing hand
Sen Rand Paul, extremely focused as well.. but on a crossword puzzle, hidden not so discretely between his papers
Paul is just giving the proceeding the respect it deserves.
After a couple of hours yesterday, I didn’t watch a single minute today.
I’ve not watched a second of it. I’m approaching it like GoT.
Bitch about all the changes they made from the books?
I got tired of the books, too.
He still hasn’t answered the question, “where do whores go?”
Yeah this one’s totally going to be an exciting binge watch for me later. Won’t be able to put it down I’m sure.
LOL good for him
Paul has said 45 senators would vote to dismiss now, but there are too many Republicans that want to see a little more.
What? A well-turned ankle? Fuck those cuntes.
Grrrrrr I sent a release and satisfaction to a private lender with the final payment on a mortgage and they sent it back with the acknowledgement blanks not filled in and an illegible signature by the Manager of the company. The person in question is an attorney!
Sounds like a feature rather than a bug. Side-eye Commence!
My kid is doing a paper on Congress’s spending issues. She’s using Rand Paul’s Airing of Grievances as a source.
You’ve taught her well.
That is so cool. My step-kids did just enough to escape high school and their disfunctional families. Boy-howdy did the girls turn out great!
My grand daughters are doing well in spite of their parents. I’ll take any credit but truthfully they done every thing on their own.
I taught them skepticism. If that’s the only lesson that they learned from me I consider it a job well done.
All except for the boy. He was beyond my ken. He’s doing alright.
“I’ve got a lot of problems with you people”?
“And that’s why I love Xmas”
I am disappointed with Dewar’s 15 yr. I am also disappointed with Rome apples. Supposedly the latter are better cooked.
This cheddar OTOH is the bee’s knees.
I’m not a fan of Dewar’s in any form.
It was a bribe, and was in a fancy metal box. That, plus the age and the subtitle “The Monarch” made me get my hopes up. But yes, Dewars is the Old Crow of Scotch.
Haven’t “Scotched” since I was a youngling but it always seemed to result in me ending up in someone’s spare bedroom fully clothed from the night before. My uncle was a longshoreman and scotch enthusiast that seemed to live mysteriously above his means. The other times were the “rusty nails incidents” that I won’t share here (Family Friendly rating).
Scotch is the drink of Philosophers.
I Philosophied as hard as I could! Wasn’t much but it was something.

They need to make hotter salsa.
To be fair, it is Tennessee.

““This is what you get when you give an 89 cents tip for an almost 30-minute drive.””
He actually had a point but he took it too far. Also, felony charges seem a bit much.
So I got in trouble for drinking beer and doing stuff. Darn it Woman, if you want me to laze about like a cat you should have bought me more beer! Made a cheese sauce today, shoveled out the back of the truck (gingerly) and now I’m off to play with fire. Burn, cardboard boxes, burn!
FIRE! FIRE!
Hehhehheh! Fire!
The Steel Challenge matches my club has on Sundays are basically very much like being in high school again, but with no booze. Someone always decides it’s cold enough to need a fire. Which of course thaws out the ground enough to become 3″ of mud.
Lemme guess. There are five guys with five different opinions about how the fire should be set and ten ways about maintenance of said fire.
The fire is where the beer is required.
Who needs to talk when you can stand around a campfire? Think of Hank and his buddies in the alley.
Standing around a fire and drinking in silence is nirvana.
Should be on the frontispiece of the “Everyboy Almanac”.
I hate this Gravatar thing, It won’t take changes, and is an unintuitive POS…
It is that.
I only used it briefly during the recent Troubles here and dropped my account after SP fixed Glibs so I no longer needed Gravitar. I just manually add my pic wherever I need it – no so hard.
Gravatar is the bubonic plague of avatar apps. Avoid.
