This really wasn’t my best idea. My Dutch buddy and I ran ourselves ragged yesterday, had dinner at SP’s and my favorite restaurant, too much wine, late night, and now this. And we’re trying to get out early today before it gets hot to see which gives out first, our cardiovascular system or our legs. Helluva way to detox. At least we don’t have to reset the fucking clocks like the rest of you assholes do. Our poor Euro has also gotten to listen to SP and me rant about the upcoming multitrillion dollar government spend spree to try to “fix” the “economic damage” to “selected industries” due to the coronashit.
Birthdays today include the Skipper (who also had a small role in the greatest baseball movie ever made); one of the biggest pieces of shit to ever serve on the Supreme Court; a shitty pitcher who wrote a funny damn book; a pretty damn good first baseman; a piece of shit politician– but I repeat myself; and a guy who really got to the core of the issue and was a truly decent human being.
On to the news, such as it is.
“…and $40 billion to bail out the lobster industry.”
On the bright side, the Euros will all have to bail out Italy.
Don’t say “die” to two guys this old and addled.

The Babe Ruth Story is a 1948 baseball film biography of Babe Ruth, the famed New York Yankees slugger. It stars William Bendix as the ballplayer and Claire Trevor as his wife. Critics faulted the film’s heavy-handedness and direction, and it is said by many to be one of the worst films ever made.Wikipedia
There’s room for debate about what’s the best baseball movie.
But there’s no room for “The Natural” in that debate.
Not just the worst baseball movie, but a contender for Worst Movie in Any Genre.
“Hey, look at me. I’m 17!”
-character who looks 30
::fade out::
::fade in::
“Hey, look at me. I’m 40!”
-character looking exactly the same
He identified as 17. Back off man.
He also identified as a decent actor rather than, you know, actually being a decent actor.
Redford might be more overrated than any other living actor.
Contender, but I’d nominate Meryl Streep.
I said actor, not actress.
Don’t let them change that.
God bless you sloopster.
That’s not even the worst part. The worst part is taking a brilliant surrealist novel whose message is “you can never redeem yourself” and turning it into a formula feel-good hero movie whose message is “you can always redeem yourself.”

What If the Court Saw Other Rights as Generously as Gun Rights?
Let’s see what we have as rights here…
“ And indeed, cities and states at the founding often restricted gun owners to practicing only at prescribed locations”
How telling that the link in this sentence leads to an error page
It is frightening that a law professor could make such a poor argument that you don’t have a right to train and transport guns because that is not explicitly stated.
Free speech doesn’t apply to the internet I guess
One with a Stanford JD no less.
And clerked for Sotomayor.
The latter explains this writer’s retarded-ass views.
You are making dangerous threats against a SCOTUS judge by suggesting this!
Always with the positive rights! Ever more and ever more specific until the diversity of special interest lobbying is all there is, and everyone is under boot!
There’s something missing in their cognitive faculties which would otherwise allow them to understand how painfully awful their strongly held convictions are, and of course they would think quite the same thing about libertarian arguments, but blind to fact that their arguments are continually a matter of faith and wilfull ignorance, always asserting “facts” not in evidence.
*steam whistles abruptly out of relief valve and JD calms himself once more*
In New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. New York, a major case argued in December, the Court appears poised to expand the Second Amendment to protect gun possession outside the home as well.
You mean people might be able to not only keep, but also bear arms?! End. Of. Days.
Re expand
But only in NYC and only if you already have a license.
Why am I unsurprised that a law professor cannot distinguish between a positive and negative right and between one that is explicitly mentioned in the Constitution and one that is not?
So they’re going to smash the government education monopoly since it’s inherently unequal?
My guess is they’ll call for nationalization and forbid any local school district from being funded better than a neighboring district that is in a shithole.
Also, if they’re having problems in Detroit public schools because people won’t teach there, do they plan on conscripting teachers? What’s their solution?
Nationalizing it would have horrible consequences for teachers in big cities whose pay will have to be pegged at the same number as those in rural areas since equal protection would force the per pupil expenditures to be the same regardless of geographical location.
Hell, it might be worth it winning just to see those heads explode.
Other way around. Relatively rich teachers in the rural areas. Or they’ll just do a COLA location adjustment similar to current fedgov employees.
So kneecap success and reward failure…sounds about par for the course.
The most lavishly-funded schools in New York are in the worst shitholes. We know this because each neighborhood is basically its own “district”.
The argument for a constitutional right to train at any shooting range is far from obvious. The Second Amendment speaks of a right to “keep” and “bear” arms, but says nothing about a right to train or practice.
Uh, hey dumbass, the right to bear arms means the individual is free to determine where they can bear them. You must bear them to train with them. And bear them while transporting them for that training.
Yeah, but see how the lawyers used the work IMPLIED? That means it’s totally like a right that isn’t explicitly enumerated in an Amendment or stuff. LERN TO LAW, BRO.
Funny how that same standard doesn’t apply to things like education in their book (see my quotation above)
Or getting a lawyer.
This guy should be under single-payer legal care, drawing up wills for little old ladies in East St. Louis.
Then they could go the NHS route and deny services to racists and icky people.
By this moron’s logic, they could simply make it illegal to transport a firearm from a store to one’s home. After all, there’s no right to transport.
And obviously there’s no right to self-defense outside your home.
Disarm cops?
That’s on Kings land. His men can protect you.
Keep and Bear does not include the words “load” or “shoot.”
This guy pretty clearly falls into the “Sophist” area of arguing, so he’ll put forward any argument no matter how facially trivial it is to say that there is no right to guns.
Apparently, the Founders meant for us to own guns and carry them around, but never actually, you know, use them.
No right to keep or bear ammo.
Make the joke, but people in power have literally made this argument when attempting to prohibitively tax ammunition.
I blame Chris Rock for giving them the idea.
“What If the Court Saw Other Rights as Generously as Gun Rights?”
generosity has nothing to do with it. What the question should be is what if the courts took the restrictions on government power as seriously as it does with the first amendment?
So. Much. Stupid.
No shit. That is what I would expect from Slate or Salon.
one of the biggest pieces of shit to ever serve on the Supreme Court

They should have trained those employees to not break coffee pots over customer heads.

To be fair, even though CV seems to be overblown it is actually killing people over here.
Absolutely true, but the Dems I know are suddenly concerned that our government is taking care of business when they weren’t before and vice versa.

I know, the Bernie Bots hate the Dem establishment (or so the story goes), but I do think that there is a possibility that Joe and Bernie come to an agreement and form a ticket together. Odds would be Joe picking Bernie as veep. Not saying I’d bet on it, but I do think that Bernie could sell out and take the spot if offered. One of the main reasons I think it’s possible is that Bernie and Joe have gone out of their ways not to be too vicious in there attacks on each other. It’s interesting that you never hear the pundits talking about this potential situation. That being said, I don’t think it would beat Trump, but it’s interesting to think about.
Would be interesting. Bernie perennially sells out his supporters. Not sure how that would play out in a general.
Let me cast some doubt on that
If I were the front runner, that would guarantee I don’t pick Klobuchar
I figure the deal has already been cut. Biden needs a woman on his ticket to sate the Clintonistas and Warreneers.
Stacey Abrams. Woman of Color, denied her rightful place as Governor of Georgia.
That is my bet too.
It will be Warren as was decided months ago by the party bosses.
Not vicious in their attacks? They’ve been pretty brutal on twitter toward each other.
Compared to what Warren did to Bloomberg or Trump did to Cruz? It could be worse.
I know predictions are hard, especially about the future, but I am gonna take a stab at it.
In a year or two we wont remember the names of any of the passengers of the clown car that is the democratic field. That is just my take….
These are the worst politicians I have seen in my life.
You forget that CNN and MSNBC will continue putting the younger ones at least on tv every day to talk about their brilliant ideas for a centrally-planned (insert segment of economy here) or how they’re gonna enact (insert civil right)-control.
These are the worst politicians I have seen in my life.
Please Clap would like a word.
Unfortunately Swalwell is my congressman, so I’ll keep hearing about him.
The running mate shall be from Kenosha
or something like that. CA, ME, GA, NJ, MA: they don’t move the needle; the VP can’t be from those places. Job 1 for Biden is undoing 70k in the right states, not winning California.
Or they can do something stupid . . . whatever.
I don’t see the democrats reversing the damage they did with flyover country voters regardless of who they pick. We should keep in mind that since Hillary’s regrettable ‘basket of deplorables’ comment, the media have been denigrating everyone who is not on top of their identity totem pole, and those as well if they dare cross the PC police in any way. They’ve been doing this 24/7 for the entire time Trump has been in the Whitehouse, as well as orchestrating a concerted effort to reverse the votes of all of those people. Now you have VA saying they are going to take people’s votes away by passing a law that guarantee’s the electoral vote to whoever wins the national popular vote, in effect, nullifying the votes of the people of their own state.
The chance of democrats winning back the Whitehouse in Nov is practically zero.
The midwest sat out on Clinton by a few rounding errors in exactly the right places; congrats to Trump.

“Italy in coronavirus lockdown chaos: Desperate scramble to flee quarantine zones in north as Italian PM shuts off 16 million citizens from rest of country – after 36 people die in single day bringing toll to 233”

yikes!
Somebody doesn’t believe hard enough.
How long until they’re setting up camps in Europe to “concentrate” people with the coronavirus for the protection of those with pure blood?
I’m still not sure where I’m landing on this. I think fears of a coronavirus pandemic are way overblown. On the other hand, it does seem much more dangerous than the flu. It looks like a 4% mortality rate in Italy. I calculated a 0.1% average mortality rate for the influenza in the US using the CDC numbers. So at least an order of magnitude more deadly than the flu.
I think I’m settling on this sucks, seems dangerous, but not dangerous enough to pay $100 for masks that won’t actually prevent it or stockpile one year of toilet paper for.
The major risk is to people in assisted living facilities and hospitals.
Children are going to carry it and infect everyone else.
Children are the worst.
It looks like a 4% mortality rate in Italy.
When there’s no possible way for them to identify every person who has caught a virus but they are able to identify every person who dies from it, mortality rates will always be grossly exaggerated.
They are not able to identify everyone killed by it either. If they don’t think that’s what the person had before they died, they’ll be recorded as natrual causes from the misdiagnosis.
Doubtful, seeing as they’re probably doing blood work on anybody that shows up with those symptoms for at least the last couple of months since it’s the cold and flu season.
Of course, we are talking about a nation with socialized medicine, so the care is probably substandard for anybody in a high risk group. So you may be right.
Bah! If it were the US where people have no healthcare, 500 million would already be dead!
That number seems low
This is true of the flu as well.
Threading fail. They can’t identify everyone with the flu either,and thus, mortality rates are also skewed.
On the other hand, the unfunded liabilities are going to get under control pretty soon.
China is sending up whatever else escaped the lab to pinch hit.
“Netflix’s Castlevania Has Alucard Engage In Gay Anal Sex
The scene starts with the twins kissing on Alucard’s chest and lips, both of them taking turns. Between the action sequences taking place throughout the episode, around the 8:45 mark they cut back to Alucard kissing and caressing the twins. It then sees the female twin going down on Alucard’s nether regions, implying oral sex. At around the 16:19 mark we see the female twin stimulating Alucard’s nether regions with her hand while her brother appears to be giving Alucard anilingus.
However, things take a turn for the worst at the 16:29 mark, as the male twin hoists Alucard’s legs on his shoulders like some poor, pallid maiden in a Blacked video.
He mounts Alucard in a missionary position while Alucard winces and cries, likely because there was no lubrication involved and the pain was too much for him to bear. This is also one of the leading causes of sexually transmitted diseases among gay men, since stretching the rectal linings without lubricant oftentimes creates tearing, which in turn causes bleeding. The transmission of bodily fluids through the urethra in an unclean region like the rectum can result in contracting a disease or giving the recipient an unwanted infection.
The Dhampir’s dung-hole was desecrated and systemically destroyed by Liberal Progressive propaganda; fueled on by everyone pushing for the gay agenda to take over every single aspect of media entertainment you enjoy…
His anus will never be the same.”

I’m afraid that turn of phrase is going to stick with me for the rest of the day.
An alliterative anal assault.
I see what you did there.
Just some gay dudes going at it? How pedestrian. If they wanted to be edgy and really celebrate the stunning and the brave, the least they could have done was write in some speciesqueer furries with power tools and a midget. Everyone who has had the displeasure of being exposed to even the smallest amount of vampire-themed literature knows that vampires* are the epitome of “so far out the closet they may as well be Tom Cruise” (excellent casting for that godawful “Interview with a
LiberaceVampire” movie).*Well, all of them except Spike, but even he took a couple of hundred years to find his cojones
What about Blade? No love for the first black Marvel Action Hero?
Oh he’s cool but I just haven’t given it a thought. First instinct says he swings from both sides of the plate, but in continuing that anal-ogy (hyuk hyuk) he’s definitely not the catcher – so uh, switch pitcher rather than switch hitter. MLB is downright intolerant, btw, in re-writing the rules to make it impossible for anyone to play as a switch pitcher, but back to Blade, I don’t think it matters either way. I think “Phase 4” onwards is supposed to be “LGBTQ+”-heavy to compensate for the lack of representation in the MCU thus far. Get ready for the most stunning and brave movies yet.
Yeah, I will be sure to catch that one.

So about that Olive Garden story, where the customers refused to have a black waiter serve them and then the manager got fired. In Evansville. *Looks at correct username*
HUH. I know exactly where that one is. I blame everyone in this story except for the waiter in question. And me. I’ve been out of pocket for over a decade! Sean blamed me!
Speaking of Eville—Gender Traitor spoke of a Schlottzky’s near where she got her hair done. Just reminded me–My first job was at McDonald’s when I was 14, and was there for a few months over the summer. But my first REAL job was at the deli where I was for about 2.5 years. It finished off my high school days and taught me more about how being at work functioned. My first day was February 1 or 2 in 2003…I was cleaning the floors (with no customers there) and the TV was on and barking about the Columbia space shuttle disaster. That burned in and I remember that fairly well.
I don’t have work this week! That’s both fun and frustrating. What a shitty time to return to Korea and try to get my life back up and running, when the entire country is absolutely terrified of this virus. My South African Lady doesn’t have the correct visa yet and she pretty much can’t do a visa run because the government won’t let people fly out to certain places.
I suppose, worst case Ontario, is that I don’t have classes start until the 16th, but most of my friends start a week later on the 23rd. We shall see.
Onwards!
Is there a link? Was it someone who didn’t want to be served by a particular, individual wait who happens to be black, or someone who is so doggon rayciss they won’t even have black folks wait on them? On the flipside was it someone so unimaginably woke that they refuse to have a black person serve them because they were uncomfortable with the dynamic?
Here we go!
As to your questions, I imagine that pretty much everything is dramatized in this story. Fun side fact: My father worked for the Courier for about 30 years—he had a 4 hour interview with them when I was about 6 months old and we moved to Eville so he could continue his journalistic career. My mom got a gig as a special education teacher and did that for about 15 years there. When she got her masters to teach other classes she had to do training…at my middle school while I was in my last year there. That went surprisingly well and I can’t recall anyone ever giving me shit about having my mom working at the school that I went to.
Now both of my parents are retired and continue to write. My father has written multiple books while my mom also performs as an actress for her own writing. Her last work was her playing Mary Todd Lincoln after Abe’s assassination but before her oldest son put her in a mental institution. Talented parents, though in very different ways. My brother owns his own business as a computer programer and I do my best to compete being an English teacher and seeing the world as best as I can!

Lol, I had to search that to know if it was really a thing. I was surprised to find it wasn’t.
Guess which product NYC literally enforces a “minimum price” on.
Hint: the “price” is about 80% taxes.
During the oil spikes in 2005 or so, a local gas station started posting what percent was taxes, and what percent was net income for Shell, and what percent was net income for the franchisor in the window.

It will work out one of two ways: heads, they win, or tails, we lose.

The best baseball movie ever stars an odd fellow with a big nose. It also includes one of my all time favorite ballplayers, the scrappy Tanner.
The baseball team was also inclusive. It had white, black, Chicano, female, fat, skinny, big, and little guys on the team.
And the movie was made before people were uptight about ballplayers smoking cigarettes and drinking beer at the ballpark.
Tanner Boyle : All we got on this team are a buncha Jews, spics, niggers, pansies, and a booger-eatin’ moron!
Ogilvie : Tanner, I think you need to be reminded from time to time that you are one of the few people on this team who is not a Jew, spic, nigger, pansy or a booger-eating moron. So you’d better cool it or we may be disposed to beat the crap out of you.

This reminds me of League of Their Own, which was (GASP!) filmed partially in Eville. Bosse Field is the 3rd oldest park in the US, which is legit amazing. A great place to watch a ballgame–A smallish towns version of Wrigley just downtown waiting for patrons.
Tom Hanks used to eat at the nearby Lic’s ice cream shop to gain weight for the role. That was one of the places we highschoolers would go to for lunch. Signature School (which is still one of the best H. schools in the nation) didn’t have a cafeteria and we got to just walk around downtown and grab grum where we could find it. Their chili was delicious. Haven’t been in a long while.
Best baseball movie: Clearly Major League over Bull Durham. Amazingly funny flick. And Charlie Sheen, juiced up, really COULD throw a ball in the mid 80s. That’s fucking impressive. I can throw a ball; I can juggle; I’m a good drummer. I can do all sorts of things. But god help me, I can’t throw darts worth a shit. Got my ass kicked last night. I can only throw if I get my hips involved, but that is against the rules. It was still better than fucking up the wall like I did with my projectiles. I’ll scoot back but I need to crow hop in to have my arm work like that. Irony: My hips are now made of titanium. Still work!

Between 1969 to 2003, these homeless boys aged between six and 14 were handed over to paedos — because it was thought the vulnerable kids might benefit from their attention.
Leading sexologist Helmut Kentler argued paedophilia could have ‘positive consequences’
The twisted logic behind behind the “Kentler experiment”— named after the leading sexologist Helmut Kentler who spearheaded it — was that paedophilia could have “positive consequences”.
Astonishingly, in the late 1960s Kentler managed to persuade West Berlin’s ruling Senate that homeless boys would leap at the opportunity to be fostered by paedophile dads.
It was successfully argued they would be “head over heels in love” with their new father figures.
About this time Kentler was publicly lobbying for decriminalisation sex between adults and children in West Germany.
The academic argued youngsters “almost always more seriously damaged” by their abusers being prosecuted than by the abuse itself.”

Just shoot everyone involved.

A little further research revealed this:
So no nuclear power, but more kid-fucking… Hell of a party platform there.

And no internal combustion engines fueled by debil fossil fuels.
“homeless boys would leap at the opportunity to be fostered by paedophile dads”
“rode the coat-tails of gay-rights groups and lobbied for the decriminalisation of consensual sex between adults and children”
Way to live down to the stereotype, activists.
I once heard something about letting a camel’s nose into the tent. Can’t remember what it was about.

Good lord.
France, too, had a bit of a pedo fetish starting, yep, “in the late 1960s”.
That’s crazy talk, Rhywun. I have it on good authority from links posted in the comments here that are just one degree of separation from the Daily Stormer that Europe never had a problem with this until world Jewry manipulated globalists elites to allow massive waves of Muslim rapefugees to defile their sacred motherlands.
Are you telling me they were wrong?!?

White women are a threat!

She’s a victim. They made her do it. Now lock her up!
I’m sorry, but if these were 17 year old boys, there is no crime here. Don’t our judicial system have anything else to do?
They ought to be banned from teaching for life for abusing their position of power. But, no prison.
This was middle school, so I doubt if the boys were 17. Although you never know.
Teaching jobs aren’t a dating service.
Abuse of power ftl.
I saw that Atlantic article about “gun rights” yesterday. What a dishonest hack. The right to keep and bear arms is laid out explicitly, in its very own Amendment. He conjures up a putative “right” to an education provided by the federal government after rummaging around in some sort of debris field at the fringe of the Fourteenth, and then dances around as if he has conclusively proven his point.
It’s not fair to refer to an “implied” right to transport your weapons (apparently, “bear” had some completely different and inscrutable meaning back then) unless you are willing to accept his “implied” right to a federally funded and qualitatively perfect and nondiscriminatory education.

Once they started ignoring ‘shall not be infringed’, the door was wide open. Just wait until we have the next democrat president. States like VA and CA will start going door to door confiscating guns because they’ll no longer fear that the feds will not back them up when people refuse to comply. VA apparently already has a bill on hold that allows them to do just that, they’re just waiting for bad orange man to go away.
Most Atlantic articles are at around the same level of intellect as the Guardian or Vox, or Salon.
Some are, but I wouldn’t say most.
They had a couple of the most foaming at the mouth totally unhinged TDS articles around right after SHE lost.
That video of Stone is pretty much the only thing that could cheer me up on today, the shittiest day of the year.

OK.
All of those femirage stories are making me wish she lost to Trump instead. The tears would be that much more delicious.
If I ever become that emotionally attached to any politician, please just shoot me.
What if you were emotionally attached to the person before they ran for office?
I’ve had relatives who almost ran.
They key is just to not have any relatives who don’t have closets full of skeletons. Problem solved.
I guess I could make an exception, though I’d probably begin to have serious doubts about their sanity. Happily, coming from a family largely comprised of introverts lessens the odds of this happening.
My wife ran. And won. (As county supervisor.) It took three times — the first two she ran as an independent, which ended up about as you would expect.
“They were mostly female, although trans men, gay men, and sensitive straight, cis men”

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects,
If you look at this from just the right angle, and squint a little, this implies a RIGHT to a house for all Americans. The federal government should provide a comfortable home and an income and all necessary papers and effects necessary for a happy and fulfilling life.

GET BACK TO STORMFRONT!
When these virtue signallers start demanding that foreigners pronounce American names with perfect American accents, my contempt for them will be diminished. A little.
Is there such an animal as “American” names though? I mean, most of our names come from the Bible or Anglo-Saxon, French, German, etc.. origins. Unless you are one of the proud Red Men of the indigenous soil, I guess.
Elizabeth Warren?
I stand corrected.
The original WASP names, like John Smith.
But those are British names.
Yes.
Now if we could just teach those damn lime suckers across the pond to speak real American.
Well, I didn’t fight a Bunker Hill (It was Breed’s Hill, actually) to call those “American” names.
The following names have been correctledly homesteaded by American settlers and are therefore genuine ‘merican names:
McDonald

Reagan
Rodriguez
Meyer

Well I just realised that there’s a new damn post so I’m pissing this comment out into the cold, dead universe.

Inductive reasoning based on the properties of a related strain of which we currently have n = 1 concerning outbreaks is exactly why Taleb achieved financial independence in his late 30s.
The biggest problem is that there is a 100% guarantee that the media will over hype it regardless of the real threat. If they can hurt the economy by doing so, that’s a feature, not a bug.
Good morning Old Man!
We had a late night, too (although it included sea bass over a sweet pee risotto, so I’m not gonna bitch). It bothers me how much a stupid hour screws me up, though.
Unbelievably nice here today. Sunny and a high of 64 – my kind of late winter day!
I always thought I was pretty good at depositions.

I’ve been deposed once and on the stand in court once.
Both were complete disasters for the other side. Flights missed, judges gaveling the court out of disorder, etc.
So, nothing to do with your performance on the stand?

Civil rights leader and former presidential candidate Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. on Sunday endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders for the Democratic presidential nomination.
“With the exception of Native Americans, African Americans are the people who are most behind socially and economically in the United States and our needs are not moderate. A people far behind cannot catch up choosing the most moderate path. The most progressive social and economic path gives us the best chance to catch up and Senator Bernie Sanders represents the most progressive path. That’s why I choose to endorse him today,” Jackson said in a statement.
——-
In an interview Sunday with CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union,” Sanders said he’s “proud” of the endorsement, and lauded Jackson as “one of the great civil rights leaders in our country.”
“What Rev. Jackson understands is that we have to move aggressively to wipe out all forms of racism in this country and we need an economic agenda that speaks to the needs of working people, not just the billionaire class,” he said. “I think with Rev. Jackson — I think we got a real boost in our campaign.”
Jackson said the Sanders campaign made a series of commitments to him, including the senator pushing for a right to vote constitutional amendment in Congress, supporting a wealth tax and allocating $50 billion to historically black colleges and universities. He also said Sanders committed to nominating an African American woman to the Supreme Court and endorsing a two-state solution in the Middle East.
I never saw that coming.
I was thinking that Biden might have an advantage in Michigan because of how well he did with black voters in SC, but this could make that more interesting. Not sure if Jesse still has the same clout he once did though.

The depo was me requiring a written waiver of attorney client privilege from my client, so we sat for two or three hours until it showed, followed by me saying for a couple more hours I had no specific recollection beyond what was in my letters and memos, which they already had. They had scheduled an hour, so, missed flights.
My court testimony ended when the other side’s lawyer asked if I was accusing him of being unethical, and I said no, I was accusing his client of being a liar and a thief. His client didn’t take that well, so, judges drops gavel.

Hillary Clinton reiterated that Sen. Bernie Sanders would not be “our strongest nominee against Donald Trump.”
But speaking in an interview that aired Sunday on CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS,” the 2016 Democratic nominee stopped short of endorsing former Vice President Joe Biden.
“I’m not endorsing,” she said before explaining why she thought Biden had broader appeal in what has become basically a two-person race for the Democratic presidential nomination.
“I think what Joe’s victories on Super Tuesday showed is that he is building the kind of coalition that I had basically,” she told Zakaria. “It’s a broad-based coalition. I finished, you know, most of the work I needed to do for the nomination on Super Tuesday, and then it kind of lingered on — and I think Joe is on track to doing exactly the same thing — putting together a coalition of voters who are energized.“
——-
Clinton also said she hoped that if Sanders doesn’t get the nomination that he and his supporters would back Biden.
“I hope so because his failure and the behavior of a lot of his top aides, and certainly many of his supporters — up to the convention, at the convention, and even up to Election Day was not helpful,“ she said of the 2016 race.
“I had thought we would unify, that’s what we’d always done before and that’s what I expected. I certainly tried to do that when I ran against Barack Obama and worked very hard for him.“
She can’t endorse Joe. She’s waiting for a call.
Her and Warren will both endorse Biden, sooner or later.
“I think what Joe’s victories on Super Tuesday showed is that he is building the kind of coalition that I had basically,”
Yep, the party elites choosing who’s turn it is.
They aren’t wrong in assuming that of all the candidate who ran, Biden has the best chance of beating Trump. Which means he will lose by less than the rest of them would have.
They probably should just focus on keeping the House by calling Trump a sexist, racist Nazi right up until November.

Meanwhile back at the cult
There was a forlorn mood the other night inside the headquarters of Brooklyn for Warren, a few sparsely furnished rooms in the Park Slope campaign offices of the New York City councilman Brad Lander, where a group of Elizabeth Warren’s campaign volunteers had assembled for a round of “sad and celebratory drinks.” The walls were still decorated with Warren paraphernalia: a poster that said “The Best Candidate Money Can’t Buy” and a cardboard cutout of the candidate as Superwoman; an enormous map displaying her policy platform (categories: Anti-Corruption, Systemic Reforms, Economic Equality, Climate Change); a “Lil Liberty” lending library; and a list of thoughtful community guidelines—“Use gender-neutral collective nouns. . . . Listen more than you speak. . . . Be generous with each other. . . . No trashing other candidates or their supporters!” A sign taped to the wall in one area said “This Room is for Reflection—Feel Free to Write a Postcard to Liz and the Campaign. We Will Send Them.”
Warren had failed to win any primary contests on Super Tuesday, and had placed third in her home state of Massachusetts. That morning, she’d informed staff on a conference call that she was ending her campaign, adding, “I will carry you in my heart for the rest of my life.” The volunteers drank boxed wine and I.P.A. beer, and nibbled on chocolate cake and tortilla chips. They posed for a picture with a cardboard cutout of Warren, draped in a rainbow feather boa, chanting “Dream big! Fight hard!” instead of “Cheese.” They were mostly female, although trans men, gay men, and sensitive straight, cis men were also represented: the group’s founder, an allergist and immunologist named Milo Vassallo, spoke about the importance of being a man who wears his Warren pin in public, and opined about what he saw as the covert sexism of the “Bernie bros” on his baseball team.
The women seemed especially dejected. “I did a lot of crying today,” Jennie Spector, a social worker, said.
“I feel a lot of rage,” Teresa Mayer, who has worked in nonprofits, said.
Whycome them deplorables no wanna redemption? Salvation awaits. Confess your sins. Beg forgiveness. Offer yourselves up to Her.
Maybe next time don’t choose a woman who is so mendacious that she lies just by breathing.
Almost eighty-year-old white men are the worst.
Will Warren have to bow her head and let Joe sniff her hair publicly, or will it be done quietly and out of the public eye?
The problem was not Warren’s résumé, or her skill set, or her appeal to voters, Olenick said. “Sixty per cent of my conversations were with people saying, ‘I love her! She’s so smart. She’s so tough. She would make the best President. But I’m voting for Biden.’ Or, ‘I’m voting for Bernie. Because I don’t think she can win.’ ” This, they felt, came from a kind of anticipatory sexism—a belief that a woman could never become the President, which became a self-fulfilling prophecy. They noted that women were some of the worst offenders. “I think a lot of them were really, truly traumatized by Hillary losing,” Olenick said. She’d spoken to many women who’d volunteered for Clinton or been precinct captains. “The majority of my phone conversations were working to convince women that they shouldn’t vote out of fear for an old white man.”
