Morning, Banjos.
Corporate America’s sharp left turn prompts unprecedented backlash
Initially I was a little uneasy about the nakedly political aims of targeting the mouse. Then I had another thought. The left political creatures deserve opponents who are as ruthless as they are. Whatever the National Review has to say about this I support the opposite.
If you refuse to play to win, ruthlessly, like they do, you will lose. Fantasyland don’t work.
I got stuck on the Peter Pan ride this morning, so you are correct.
It would seem that they are violating their fiduciary duty by deliberately alienating half of their potential customers.
stakeholders > shareholders
I hope that eventually shareholder lawsuits fix this in court… Through hefty payouts and members of the board of directors that incentivized this shit becoming permanently unemployed and directly financially liable.
Funny isn’t it – how Marx said the capitalist system was incapable of anything but dog-eat-dog competition, a race to the bottom by all capitalists regardless of their morals because of the voracious appetite for profit.
Seems that Mussolini had a much better grasp on corporate behavior.
I like to tell people that, if you look at post war America, you’ll notice that the Italians actually won WW2
Fascists were all marxists that realized marxism simply was never going to work in the long run because when government ran everything, made any and all decisions, and the primary qualification for being in government was loyalty to the masters, not competency, eventually they would stack bodies like cordwood. That and the fact that they realized internationalism meant that you would have to convince people with different cultural norms, beliefs, and practices all to accept a single system that might completely undermine their own values.
Not that that doesn’t make the fascists the good guys. They simply were opportunists that were a bit smarter than your average dumb rock. Their idea to ignore the idiotic globalist shit and buffer government from the consequences of failure in their economy by pretending to have a private sector capable of making decisions (as long as those decisions benefited and were approved by the government, of course, and or else) kept the body count lower than that of the marxists, but being socialism, it had to be totalitarian and dehumanizing in nature.
What saddens me is that all the people running around today fighting fascism tend to be marxists serving cabals with/of fascists causes/goals and virulently attack any system where freedom – real freedom, not the “freedom is slavery” variety – is central. The masters want to keep their spoils – for their kids and grandkids, despite the fact that these kids and grandkids make inbred morons look like Mensa candidates – and really dislike any meritocratic system that puts that at risk. Hence the hard drive towards the dumbing down of the population and the devolution of any sort of sane shit.
Where are the guillotines when you really need them?
“Not that that
doesn’tmakes the fascists the good guys.“all the people running around today fighting fascism tend to be marxists serving cabals with/of fascists causes/goals
That sums it up nicely.
Fascist masters manipulating their willfully ignorant Marxist useful idiots.
It is revoking special privileges for a corporation. Shouldn’t the left be cheering?
If they were consistent, yes.

Nah. They got themselves a “special district” created fifty years ago because the land was unbuilt.
They don’t need it any more. It should have been dissolved decades ago.
In a purely practical terms that special district should have had a time limit. Even if it was a 99 year Hong Kong deal it would be fine. As such, it’s just play stupid games, win stupid prizes I guess.
There are 1,800 special districts in Florida.
Just sayin.
Are they all special carve-outs for private entities?
And they should all expire and/or end immediately.
I think it would be better if they at least took out the Villages along with Disney.
I hate it when there are an onerous set of laws forcing all would-be developers to go in front of zoning and planning commissions hat in hand begging for an exemption. The result is that connected people get exemptions, Bad government.
The Blackrock portion of the article exposed the other side of the plan. If they don’t have enough representatives on the board and in the c-suite, they’ll just buy up a ton of shares and force their candidates onto the board. Going public is a mistake these days for any company that wants to avoid this ESG shit.
I didn’t read the article, but I will now. ESG seems like a scam. I hope to have my biases confirmed,
It’s one of the vilest scams you can think of. It makes those fucking commercials where they torture animals to make them look hurt & sad, so they can guilt you into sending money to entities that do nothing but torture & kill more animals for follow on commercials to get more money, look like noble things.

Larry Fink is a major proponent of that bullshit, and the Fed is underwriting his objectives with easy money.
And lest anyone think that the WEF doesn’t have much influence, Mein Fuhrer Schwab is the one who came up with the term “stakeholder capitalism.”
Karl Schwab might be the most evil man on the planet.
His understudy Yuval Noah Harari might be more evil and eventually eclipse his mentor, but, damn, that dude is evil, as in, Hollywood might have rejected the dialog as too heavy-handed.
He would be rejected in a Bond film as too much of a parody to play the villain. It’s like watching a non-funny version of Dr. Evil.
Jeezus. A gay Israelí leftist who skipped out of his military service and got his impetus from Jared Diamond.
Part of me wonders (without proof, mind you) if old Liz Warren and the Obama Admin shenanigans opened the doors to this somewhere no one has reported one. It fits right in with her “Consumer Financial Protection Board” crap that was really just a way to shoehorn an unaccountable Fed agency into every aspect of big companies… funneling Reserve unlimited credit at “Stakeholders” who could buy all the boards would seem a logical add on to the plan.
Yet another reason to abolish the Fed.
“DeSantis’ Office Releases Examples Of Rejected CRT-Inspired Math Textbooks”
Watch the lefty media start a “Don’t do math!” campaign, blaming DeSantis for fighting math….
I love the left’s contention that “CRT isn’t being taught in schools!” combined with “We can’t allow a ban on teaching CRT in schools!”
Ask the people telling this idiot lie: “If it is not being thought, why all the angst and anger about basically saying it shouldn’t be though?”…
Then stand back and look at the bullshit you get.
It that happens, Alex, I’m blaming you.
Meh, an English teacher’s org already declared that kids need to stop reading so many books.

Former Intelligence Officials, Citing Russia, Say Big Tech Monopoly Power is Vital to National Security

Any of these companies going under would represent a significant hit to U.S. intelligence gathering capability and could easily expose sources and methods through uncontrolled sales/losses of corporate assets and documents.
Refreshing honesty. One wonders what, if anything, might change if the American people had a clue what we’re really doing out there.
It is rare to find a communist who realizes or is willing to admit that the U.S. has toppled at least as many right-wing regimes as left-wing ones. The collapse of the Estado Novo, Francoist Spain, Rhodesia, and Apartheid South Africa all have American and British fingerprints on them.
Go back to the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s. See how the government resisted breaking up AT&T for decades. Then read Raven Rock.
Then ask yourself if you think there might be any parallels as to why intelligence officials might resist breaking up other tech monopolies.
The US didn’t intend to break up the Bell System. They wanted AT&T to limit or spin off Western Electric. Divestiture was AT&T’s idea to jettison what they thought was the deadweight local operating companies and focus on the sexy computer industry and lucrative login distance business.
That’s where the part about reading Raven Rock comes in. There were people yelling about breaking up AT&T for a long time before it happened. The government resisted taking any real action until the utility of AT&T’s ground-based communications was obsolete for the purpose of providing survivable and secret communications in the event of a nuclear war/cataclysm. The USG was paying AT&T tons of money to maintain that system that was covered up by AT&T’s normal commercial networks.
A few years ago, an old AT&T microwave tower installation sold nearby here. Above ground it looked like a simple relay tower with a garage for maintenance trucks and tools. Below ground it was a 30,000 square foot bunker with blast doors, air purification system, emergency generators, two wells, and a redundant sewage treatment plant to support an emergency staff in the event of nuclear attack. There are likely hundreds more of these around the country, once part of the emergency comms systems that AT&T ran secretly for the USG.
That’s a very muddled interpretation of what happened and why. The Modification of Final Judgment that enacted Divestiture was a modification of the 1956 consent decree (from a lawsuit filed in 1949). Again, DOJ wasn’t interested in breaking up the Bell System. It wanted to hive off the equipment business.
Hmm, ok. I guess I’m not so much saying that the government wanted to break up the system, but that it had reasons to avoid doing so.
In 1992, our family took a trip to Disney World for the first time.
It was amazing. I was so taken in by the Disney mystique. I enjoyed every part of it.
A small anecdote explaining why it was so fun: we were in what was then called “Disney-MGM Studios”, in the front part of the park. Like Main Street, USA in the Magic Kingdom represents a mythical small-town America, this section represented the fantasy of Golden Age Hollywood. There were Disney employees sitting at a table, playing cards. Three of the players were obviously cheating a fourth player. It was mildly amusing. At this point, a Disney employee dressed as a burglar (black clothes and a mask over his eyes) was running full tilt down the sidewalk, being chased by another employee dressed as a Keystone cop. My brother yells at the cop, who stops and turns and yells back “What??”
“I think they’re cheating this guy,” my brother said. The “cop” wanders over to the table, saying “What’s going on here?” The players at the table mumble something. “Are you cheating this guy without giving me my cut?” He asks. The players are, like, “Oh, right!” And hand him some of the giant dollar bills; the cop wanders off.
It was a magic moment, for me.
Years later, I went back with my wife and child.
The park had been turned into a Disney Store, but with rides. It was very disappointing.
That’s pretty great improv from that employee
That was before Eisner ruined the parks. We went around 1996 and it had already turned into a dump. My wife and I decided we wouldn’t go back until they cleaned it up. Eisner started feeling the heat in the 2000s, especially when Roy Disney resigned in 2003, and by the time we went back in 2005, it was much improved. But some of the old character of the park you’re talking about was gone, and never really came back.
I, for one, enjoyed the spectacle of Florida Dem legislators having a hissy fit over stripping Disney’s special legal status.
They used to be the ones that wanted to strip Disney of protection less thana decade ago before Disney went full woke.
Gender fluidity doesn’t stand a chance against ideologic-fluidity.

Now that the lunatics are discovering Hispanics are disgusted with the crazy shit peddled by team blue (people that ran away from the evils of socialism to make a living are not gonna go woke despite all the pretend free shit you tell them you will give them for their vote, and doubly so in bad times), to the point that support for them keeps dropping and will soon be below 40%, will we soon see them decide they need to shut the southern border and open the northern one to import more woke asshatery?

Two birds, one
planestone.When we were working with Samsung, I learned the Korean version is “catch two rabbits with one dog.”
Both dogs and stones are reusable, so it’s not as difficult a task to achieve. In fact, a rabbit-hunting dog that didn’t catch more than two rabbits is a failed rabbit-hunting dog.
With a spaniel and a .22, you can get a LOT of rabbits.
The pimp version is “Ho-out two bitchez, after one pimp slap”…
Then you make dog and rabbit stew?
You are doing a Korean stereotype thing there brah…
I was worried people wouldn’t get the joke.
On behalf of Oklahomans, I protest you BOTH for ani- okie stereotypes!
*shakes fist*
*Crawls back into hole*
I’ve always took that saying to mean killing two birds with one throw of a rock, as in achieving two goals with the effort of one goal. The reusability of the dog or stone didn’t matter.

Some stakeholders are more equal than others.
And don’t you forget it.
I don’t see how non-shareholders are “stakeholders”, but that’s just me.
So that was introduced way back when I was in grad school (non-MBA but had some class requirements in the business school). It wasn’t what it is now, but it was part of the curriculum.
As with everything else, they took a nugget of truth and slathered on a cubic mile of bullshit.
Should companies have a broader view than just maximizing profit in the next 2 quarters? Of course. Should they consider the impact their practices have on the communities around them, both directly and reputationally? Of course. Do a climate activist, a gender studies major, a modern slavery activist, and a sociologist deserve a seat at the table? Hell no!
I am all for companies making decisions to help the stockholder and the company long term instead of in the next 2 quarters, but I want nothing to do with decisions that prop up a racket making a lot of other people than the stakeholders rich peddling bullshit that has emotional appeal to low intelligence highly education credentialed morons.

Oregon’s Department of Education insisted that asking students to show their work was a form of “white supremacy.”
Next step, have the class determine the answer by taking a vote.
I always thought showing your work was retarded.
If I can do it in my head, and get the correct answer, why should I waste time writing it down?
When my son had the same problem and I got into an argument with his teacher about it and her to him answer was “You will comply”, I might have been a little angry.
After that my wife decided I didn’t need to go to parent teacher conferences.
Shortly after that we started homeschooling.
Have I mentioned how much I hate teachers?
“If I can do it in my head, and get the correct answer, why should I waste time writing it down?”
Because when that calculation impacts something like a bridge or building that could come crashing down, an airplane that falls out of the sky or s a ship tat becomes a reef, and so on, letting others check how you got there is a good thing to avoid wasted time?
^^^
I’ll give an anecdote. We had an automated grading system in place for our processor design course. It took the design file, ran it through a simulator, and checked whether it could input certain data and receive the correct output. At its simplest, it would input something like [sum, 4, 5] , and check that the output was 9. The final for the course was something like 40% of the grade, and the test cases were provided to us in advance. Some subset of the test cases were required to pass in order to pass the class, and I was stuck on the hardest one of those test cases. It was supposed to be passing info between two cores of the processor and determining the answer to a math problem. I spent a solid two days trying to debug the system because my output for that test case was off by 2. It would be off by a different amount if I used different inputs, but the test case was off by 2. Up against the deadline, I got scrappy. I flipped the 2s bit to get the right answer even though the bug was still present. They never checked how we did it, they only checked that we had the right answer.
Showing work is a discipline that should be learned on the easy stuff so that it comes natural for the hard stuff. Both in engineering school and in law school, I had exams where the right answer was provided in the prompt. The value was in getting to the answer.
Did you ever find the actual cause of the problem?
IIRC, It was a timing issue caused by a poor pipeline design on my part. A value was propagating through a portion of circuitry so quickly that the relatively low clock cycle of the simulator (in the MHz range) would cause the new value to move to the next step in the pipeline rather than the old value. The “right” fix would’ve been to undo 3 weeks of work, fix the flaw in the pipeline and rebuild the rest of the technology on top. I simply didn’t have enough time to do that once I found out what the issue was.
If he did, he deserves some accolades — you know, a 2’s compliment.
I don’t know if it’s worse that I got the joke or that I laughed.
The must be a third option
Depends on your intended profession, engineers have to show their work.
And for teaching, it’s good to understand where the error occurs
Because when and if you get it wrong, your teacher can 1) Give partial credit if you had the right formula / process and made a stupid mistake as kids are wont to do. and 2) Can pinpoint exactly *where* stupid mistake is or where you got the concept wrong.
I’m pretty adamant about this because my son is trying to just do the answer. But he’s also being lazy about actually studying or doing the work to get there, so he just comes up with answers that are frequently wrong — and walking back through *why* they’re wrong is a lot easier if I know what his process was.
Yep. Still a struggle though with my teens. But they is the same exact reasoning I have told them.
I’m at that exact point with my 2nd grader son.
But I didn’t get it wrong, I remember being bored out of my mind having to repeat the same type of problems over and over.
I still get pissed off talking about it.
I think school messed up any interest I had in learning.
I was able to do that into highschool, and then the problems got hard enough I couldn’t do them in my head anymore -but I kept trying- and it became a problem.
I high school, I didn’t care any more and failed trig.
I slept thru trig. Woke up took a test and squeeked out the C. I wish I paid more attention of course
There was something in there about circular reasoning. Or was it reasoning from circles?
It was something about parallel construction.
I thought that was just a tangent
Trig was right after lunch.
Almost everyday at lunch, my friends and I would smoke some weed in Dave’s van.
Trig had a circular graph on the wall, that if I stared at long enough, it would seem to move.
I didn’t learn a thing in that class.
Geometric proofs are the very definition of “show your work” because you must, line by line, cite which law or theorem justifies the changes you’re making to the equation.
That was probably my favorite part of formal mathematics of my whole “educational career”.
It’s my understanding that some law schools require a course in geometric proofs in order to hone logical skills through unemotional proofs.
I guess CRT will end that practice.
I only remember the geometric proofs because I put a lot of effort into trying to prove that you could use one angle, and the lengths of and adjacent and opposite side to prove two triangles equivalent, because it worked for right angles. I concluded you needed a fourth piece of information – ie, that the angle was a right angle, or that the opposite side was longer than the adjacent, etc. Which really just proved that you couldn’t use only those three data points.
The best part about geometric proofs is that they are extremely intuitive and eventually obvious demonstrations of the concept of objective reality. Or, more succinctly, for geometric truth, you need only secant you will find.
Or you can sin against maths and cosine yourself to the damnation of ignorance.
We, however, are integral to reality.
You really want to wander off on an infinite set of tangents?
That would be too derivative, and get exponentially more boring.
ASA, SAS, AAS = yes
ASS = no
You are correct. In the end I concluded that I am not an ASS man.
I dunno about geometric proofs, but the Law School I went to (U. of Alberta Faculty of Law) looked favourably upon students who had completed at least one undergrad course in Formal/Symbolic Logic.
My Algebra I class was taught by Mr. Cha who had such a heavy accent that nobody could understand him. It turned into madness and he was removed from his position after three months. Kids were literally throwing balled up papers at him. Libertarianism works, sometimes. Maybe it was anarchy? I always felt bad for the way he was treated but he shouldn’t have been at the front of of a classroom, trying to teach a bunch of squareheads. Good Lord, the way we used to act on the bus would make your toe nails curl. Stinky, pimply denim army.
Being an expert at something, even if you are a genius, doesn’t qualify you automatically as a good teacher… Teaching people is in and of itself a skillset that requires you to be able to figure out what the process of learning is for each individual so as to best help them absorb the material you present. Unfortunately really smart/gifted people tend to also lack the ability to understand how others might be limited and how to help them overcome those limits because they tend to lack people skills.
It isn’t nice to make a young substitute teacher cry and leave the room and having the principal come and finish the hour.

Providing the correct answer is also white supremacy, but you are still required to give a “correct” answer.

RJ- good movie!
Thanks!
The children are our future
Aren’t the youngest Baby Boomers about 60?
The youngest “Baby Boomers” aren’t really Baby Boomers.
Piles of horseshit.
Really, how so? Because I am part of that demographic, and that article is true for me and my contemporaries.
9 years does not a generation make – not for the ‘front end’ (46-55) of the Boomers or the back end.
Generations and cultural cohorts are often conflated, but are very different. A millennial who grew up without cable is more like an early Gen Xer than a late Gen Xer who grew up watching MTV is like an early Gen Xer.

Marry her — that should cut it down to once a month if he’s lucky.
Thinking outside the box like this has consequences…
Don’t go home, hang out in a bar with your buddies, pass out in the car. It’s the only way she’ll learn
I want to laugh at this, but I’m worried that if my wife found out she’d take away my one-per-month.
GAH!

Malefactors gravitate towards job that enable their desires. Sadists become cops. Control freaks become politicians. Pedophiles become teachers, scoutmasters, youth ministers and UNICEF workers
When there is no accountability, there will be bad actors.
If I had to pick why there seems to be an uptick in this kind of behavior, I’d say it’s because that as a society we have ceded all justice to the State and in doing so, created an opportunity for bad actors to control the system which judges them.
Is there an up tick or is it more exposed?
The Brits at least have a long history of it in their boarding schools. I’d say it’s a combination.
Well this isn’t good and I shall be enforcing a Big Tech Censorship ban on this story.
Why? When my wife was learning American slang, she asked why guys who chased women were called wolfs. Anyhow, as part of that discussion she said she was a cute little doe, but I countered with calling her a moose. So it has been an inside joke with us for decades that I’m the wolf and she’s the moose.
This story would have been funny back at the start of the joke. Now it will be met with severe disapproval.
“Wolves on the island showed a strong preference for elderly moose”
Wait, they are cross breeding Cougars with Moose now?
Now, a new study by Isle Royale researchers from Michigan Technological University has documented that assumption as fact, and found that wolves play a key role in keeping moose populations healthy on the big Lake Superior island.
Now they should take a crack at verifying that rumor about the sun always coming up in the east.
A Møøse once bit my sister… No realli!

You’re having a birthday party. As you are cutting the cake, your neighbor comes to the door and demands a piece. What do you do?
a) Cut the cake into smaller pieces
b) Cut the cake into bigger pieces
c) Call doordash and order another cake on your credit card
d) Slam the door in his goddam face
D — don’t care what my relationship to said neighbor is prior to this point. Unannounced and “demands”. Screw off.
E) Look for the camera in the room with the cake
^^PRANKED^^
e) Release the hounds
A neighbor was trespassing on my property when I first moved in. I was friendly, introduced myself and my Doberman who was loose with me, and asked that he not come on my property anymore without permission because my dog would attack him if I wasn’t there. He said oh that’s no problem, I keep on a gun on me in case a dog attacks.
I smiled and said certainly, I keep a gun on me for in case someone shoots my dog. He immediately left and never trespassed again. Though it did sour neighborly relations a bit. And then I found out that half of my closest neighbors are his kin, but fortunately don’t care much for him either. Mountain folk can be strange.
He didn’t comment about you having a “Purdy mouth”, I hope…
At our old place one of the neighbors used to stray onto our property. I let him know that I really enjoyed target shooting and that the spot he liked to cross onto our property was also where my bullets crossed to get to the target plates and that he should be very careful and consider it an active shooting range. I made a point of shooting frequently in the backyard for a week or so to make sure he got the point.
Cut the cake with the door machete, all the while looking straight into his eyes.
e) eat some cake, take a shit, give to neighbor
Didn’t realize Amber Heard was invited to the party
Is this a new version of the trolley problem?
E) strap his family to the train tracks and force him to decide whether to run his family or his slice of cake over with a train.

*picks up train engine, picks up cake*
“Come on, get up off that track. We’re going home, these people are crazy,”
Mission accomplished.
But now they know they can get both cake and model train parts from your house!

Minnesoda liquor industry buys legislator and the results are fantastic!
I’m sure the bill also includes a budget to let the booze industry run their council in style.
Who doesn’t want AB-InBev and Diageo deciding your state liquor laws?
How much worse could they do than the VABC?
They could be the PA alcohol control board?
Back when the legislature here was debating about removing the 12% ABV limit for beer, AB-InBev and MillerCoors both loudly protested it “for the children”. When the bill passed, the next day both were advertising their higher ABV beers on billboards throughout the state. Fred from Hoppin’ Frog was a very loud voice in getting rid of the cap, and released the first (legal) 12%+ ABV beer in the state (named Gavel Slammer). He also has the gavel from the legislative session that removed the ABV cap mounted on the wall of the tasting room.
Yep. Everyone of them will have a lazy susan of high end whisky close to hand. Fucking cuntes.
Not mentioned in that list – consumers.
You’ll take what you’re given, peasant.
… run their council in style.
Are you suggesting they’d be some sort of style council?
The Florida governor has become adept at making some of his more discriminatory and anti-science policies sound innocuous, underscoring what a formidable challenger he could be to future Democratic opponents at a time when disinformation is flourishing.
Their worst nightmare. Somebody who isn’t a raving lunatic.
I love the disinformation canard which is simply code for “ban him from social media.” All the criticism shows he’s the one they’re the most worried about and he’s definitely over the target. I never thought the target would be the right to groom children though. Go figure…
I happened to listen to a podcast yesterday that was discussing the Johnny Depp divorce, and I heard that chick he was married to not only regularly beat his skinny ass, but she had a habit of taking a shit on his side of the bed when she was pissed with him. WTF kind of cuck do you have to be to let that happen? or is Depp a German guy and into that Sheisse porn?
The first shit on my side of the bed would be the last shit on my side of the bed. Who does that?
That, especially. What is she, 4 years old?
Ex-wife’s cat, Oscar, used to regularly shit on my pillow. He was one of the only cats I didn’t like.
I might let the first one go – its an animal, after all.
After the second one, the cat would be gone.
It’s a vision through the looking glass of broken people with outsized funds to never grow up and learn how to be adults. She is a terrible person and Depp has some really deep issues.
Best outcome is the jury says ‘you both lose’
I used to think that Amber Heard was one of the most attractive actresses out there. Now I might need to adjust that. #Amberturd and #Mepoo are trending. Don’t stick it in crazy, no matter how crazy hot she seems.
I’ve no love for Johnny Depp, either.
I’ve got some respect for him. His first movie role was in Nightmare on Elm Street. When Wes Craven was doing A New Nightmare (set in the real world, with the actors playing themselves), he was afraid to ask Johnny Depp to play a role, as Craven figured Depp had gotten too big. When word of that got to Depp after the movie was released, he said he was hurt, and would have loved to have been in New Nightmare as his career was dependent on the first one.
#Amberturd
My inner middle schooler laughed heartily at this.
She is physically attractive. Get her a personality transplant and I’d be game. No, and I mean no, bedshitting allowed though.
Party pooper…
Save it for the hotel honey.
… that is a perfect euphemism for dookie…hotel honey.
Not even in Cleveland?
Not in my house at least.
I’ll bet she was incredible in the sack (when she wasn’t shitting it). A case of deciding it was all worth it to stick it in crazy regularly.
Based on some of those texts…she was a kinky gal. Loved the one about having something for her throat that won’t involve pain next time.
The case seems so extreme. I am hoping to catch up on it, just to see what has actually been put into court records. My assumption is that most of the things people say she did must be exaggerated. Otherwise I agree with you. Why would Johnny stay?
Just watch on Fox…cause for some reason they are running it gavel to gavel everyday.
I can’t wait for the movie.
/S
That is the movie, starring the two…Get a really big bag of popcorn and await the jury’s verdict
I can’t wait for the jury to ask for a real life demonstration of the bed shitting event so they can better understand what was gong on in their discussions…
Smells like sedition
A potentially precedent-setting disqualification hearing will kick off Friday in an Atlanta courtroom to determine if Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia is constitutionally barred from running for reelection because of her role in the January 6 insurrection.
Greene is expected to be called as a witness during the marathon hearing — making her the first lawmaker to testify under oath about their involvement in the insurrection. The outcome will reverberate beyond Georgia, because similar challenges are pending against other Republican officials and could be lodged against former President Donald Trump if he runs again in 2024.
The case resolves around a Civil War-era provision of the Fourteenth Amendment, which says any American official who takes an oath to uphold the Constitution is disqualified from holding any future office if they “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.” But how this applies to today is a hotly debated legal question.
Several of Greene’s constituents in her northwest Georgia district initiated the challenge last month with backing from a coalition of liberal activists and constitutional scholars. They claim Greene aided the insurrection by promoting voter fraud myths, posting videos before January 6 railing against the peaceful transfer of power, and allegedly coordinating with protest organizers.
Everybody hates her. As awful as she is, you’d think they’d be confident of defeating her at the polls.
But for some reason, they are desperate to get her off the ballot.
The insurrection that didn’t happen just keeps on giving.
Greene is smarter than most think. And one of the few to call out our actions in the Ukraine as illegitimate.
Well, that’s damning with faint praise.
This opens up a whole can of worms. I welcome it
There’s definitely not a cold civil war going on, but also we’re going to prosecute people as though there is.
The case resolves around a Civil War-era provision of the Fourteenth Amendment, which says any American official who takes an oath to uphold the Constitution is disqualified from holding any future office if they “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”
One would think a conviction on any of those charges would be required first.
One would have thought the judge who ok’d this to proceed would have said that too
Nope, I’d expect that judge knows this will be taken care of at higher levels…but not until after the election and she has actually been excluded from the ballot. The process is the punishment.
Do they really want to open up this Pandora’s Box?
Think of how much fun the GOP will have with it in the fall.
Not one iota. The old worms are still in charge, with less backbone than even that appellation implies.
*wipes tears of laughter away*
The idiot Roperites will never consider how this will be used against them in the future.
One possible future has little in the way legal niceties as lipstick on the pig of power. They should be wary of that future. Very wary.
Ya’ll are both thinking these people can, and will, think. No by god, they want action without thought!

Twitter needs to be worried about a lot more than a toothless Congressional demand. They are looking down the barrel of shareholder lawsuits, where all of that will be fair game. And they are on notice, so destroying it is “spoliation” of evidence, which pisses off judges and gives the other side the right to assume that whatever you destroyed is full of the worst they can impute to you.
I’m not privy to the finer details of the Disney carve out, but I think it’s pretty sweet that the government gives private entities that much freedom to run their affairs. That said, it would be nice if that same courtesy was extended to people without billions to spend on lobbying

I’ll go out on a high note. #Amberturd is a borrowed meme.
Should have went out on the brown note.
From Alex’s link:
It’s not the first time Twitter has caught the attention of Republican lawmakers.
The platform has become a focal point for some conservative members who’ve charged that Twitter unfairly removes or moderates posts on ideological grounds. Twitter has denied doing so and says it enforces standards based on its community guidelines.
Us? Censorship on political grounds?
Perish the thought. We merely want what’s best for you.

I’m not much into yard signage, but could see an exception for that one.
I was paging through movies the other night, “The Rum Diaries” popped up. Starring… dun dun DUUUUNNNNH! Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. I might have to watch it, if I can find it again.
I posted this last night but it really is worth seeing again, I think.
If you’re looking for an ironic chuckle, check out this synopsis [Wikipedia] of Nine Inch Nails’ 2007 album, Year Zero:
Trent Reznor was from the Cleveland area. Several of my friends used to run into him at the clubs on a regular basis. They all said he was a short asshole.
He went to Pitt–I have a friend who knew him there and he confirms that Trent was an asshole.
LOL. Now I have to call my buddy from Cleveland who’s been playing in local bands for decades and find out if Trent is an asshole.
I dunno, being willing to play tambourine is not an asshole move.
Why? You’ve already got a story read to go: “Multiple Sources Confirm Trent Reznor is an Asshole.”
Wait, is his real name John McCrea?
I’m easily amused today.
I moved a regularly scheduled meeting to avoid a conflict, and they went and cancelled the meeting it was conflicting with mere minutes after I rescheduled mine.
I somehow find this funny.
If you are amused by meeting schedules, you really are management material.
Or I’ve been on a messed up sleep schedule and cognitively impaired as a result.
Management material confirmed!
