Got something pressing this morning, so I’m going to jump right to it.
Rafael Quintero, the infamous drug kingpin with a $20 million bounty for the murder of a DEA agent in 1985…finally captured by Mexican authorities! He will probably die before he is extradited.
But sitting in the Oval Office on Tuesday, President Biden seemed a bit out of practice. During a meeting with Mexico’s Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Biden at turns smirked, grimaced, fidgeted, and took notes as the Mexican president launched into remarks that went on for more than half an hour.
So…Mexico might actually pay for it?
I know how to fix this, but the wrong people might get rich.
At this point, a rock band with a hot chick singing has become cliché. This may as well be a country song. I leave it to you to decide if they’re any good.
“I found a new one.”
Good job.
France looks…odd
Looks like the Mexican has the least ass.
That fabric is struggling.
Gives new meaning to “Go USA!!!”
“Since he took office, there has been a record influx of migrants crossing into the US from its southern border with Mexico, with more than 2.8 million arrests made during his presidency.”
That’s some graph. Also some graft.
“President López Obrador in turn called on Mr Biden to allow more migrant workers to enter the US. “It’s essential that we… give certainty to migrants who for years have lived and worked in an honest way in this great nation,” he told Mr Biden. ”
That doesn’t make sense. If they’ve worked here for years, they already entered.
He’s asking for an amnesty. He said “honestly”, not “legally”.
But how is that calling to allow more migrant workers to enter if they are already here?
It creates an incentive for more illegal entries.
“Allow” would mean legal entries.
ESL, brah.
It’s not a quote though. So it could be a non-sequitur from the writer — that he asked for both separately.
Pretty sure those aren’t Mexicans either making that border crossing – funny how harsh Mexico is on THEIR Southern border (unless they are assured we’re just passing through).
If he means “migrant” literally, then he’s talking about people who come up and work during crop planting, growing, and harvesting (or just harvesting) and then return to Mexico in the off-season. They are true migrant workers.
If they move in and stay, they are immigrants.
I was tryna re-work Sir Mix-a-Lot’s lyrics for straight chicks, but I can’t think of anything on a man that I would like to be “Itty bitty”.

Has any other president in modern times been scolded in their own house? Lol
Well, if the stories are true, Clinton got an earful on the regular from Hillary. And had to dodge the crockery.
Well from their partners sure. I’m talking foreign parties coming in and dick slapping
Yup.
It’s ridiculous, he should have walked out and told him to save it for his voters.
Luckily the world respects us so much more now that we got rid of Trump.
Not walked out. Stood up, shook his hand, “I’m sorry Mr. President, but this meeting is over.”
You’re right, just walking out is very beta, when it is your place.
#FJB
Biden also got snubbed at the White House as a sitting president by a visiting former president. Which was a dick move on Obama’s part, but not a surprise.
That whole exchange spoke volumes. Protocol/etiquette among that crowd is scripted and analyzed down to the very minute details. Ol’ Joe is not in control. We’re being run by a shadow group. That episode cemented that conclusion in my mind.
“For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of Obama.”
“This may as well be a country song.”
Sounds like a country song to me, and the cadence sounds like something to jump rope by. Other than that, I wouldn’t change the station if that song came on during a long road trip.
Authentic Unlimited was at Station Inn last week. Some of the gospel got to the tedious end of the spectrum, but technically they are quite pleasant to hear.
One thing I don’t get about rock videos — what’s with all the abandoned warehouses with chains just hanging from the ceiling for no reason? Weird….
Seems weird to say, but this style of music video (as in lifted directly out of the 80s) actually benefitted from the low-res graininess of old CRT TV’s. Seeing this in HD kills the mystique and just makes it look corny as hell.
Watching an old episode of Kojak – he enters a dirty magazine store to question someone; and, thanks to DVD and upsampling, etc, you can clearly see all the magazine covers and nudity.
Also old sets look waaay cheaper.
Many TV shows were shot on film.
“While we’re waiting for prices or gasoline to go down in the United States,” López Obrador said at one point, “we have decided that it was necessary for us to allow Americans who live close to the border … to go and get their gasoline on the Mexican side at lower prices.”
Zing!
Wait… wasn’t this always allowed?
I recall seeing plenty of Canadians at US gas stations close to the border.
Yes, but crossing the border via car can take several hours so its not like you can just run over to fill up before work.
More than a dozen Democratic members of Congress were among those arrested by Capitol Police on Tuesday afternoon as part of an abortion rights protest in front of the Supreme Court.
I don’t get it. It’s a state issue now. Go to your state capitol.

Lol faking being in handcuffs….
pretends like she is in cuffs
If I was the cop walking her to the squad car, I would have whispered “Nice ass Congresswoman”.
After she “broke out” of her cuffs and slapped me, I’d be famous. Never have to buy a beer in any bar again.
Heh…
Think of being in the meeting where the Squad came up with this cunning plan.
They should have called those GOP “thugs” from the Virginia gov’s race to play the part of counter protesters.
I imagine it’d be like a HS yearbook committee meeting in SoCal in the 80s.
Help! I’m being repressed.
That’s the wrong reading. It’s not a state issue, it’s a free shoot for a re-election commercial. Also, many virtues signaled.
Yep with all the fake pictures of being ‘detained’…which really looked like officers engaging in the staging or escorting them away from the situation
“a free shoot for a re-election commercial”
Oh, look at Mr. Media-Savvy Person, here.

I’ll say you did. On behalf of the other Glibs, we all appreciate your effort.
Biden also touted cooperation between the two nations on targeting drugs — specifically fentanyl — as well as on tackling the root causes that lead people to migrate from Central and South America to Mexico and the United States.
Promising free shit and having an open border probably didn’t come up.
I’ll give him that one. Assuming most of them are coming for economic opportunity in the US versus their home country — he’s doing his level best to level *that* playing field….
Ding ding, Biden’s only plausible contribution to fighting immigration. Let’s see if there an effect in the next year…
Draconian drug policies?
A few more decades of jabbering about “root causes” ought to do the trick.
“AOC is among Democrat members of Congress including fellow Squad members ARRESTED outside the Supreme Court during Roe v. Wade protest (and pretends like she is in cuffs)
Other members seen being detained by officers include include Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., Nydia Velazquez, D-N.Y., Jackie Speier, D-Calif., Sarah Jacobs, D-Calif., Katherine Clark, D-Mass., Andy Levin, D-Mich., Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., Madeleine Dean, D-Pa., Jan Schakowksy, D-Ill., and Bonnie Watson Coleman, D-Calif.”

I’m sure they’ll be treated just like the 1/6 protestors.
That was nothing more than a PR stunt.
So there won’t be a prison sex tape?
I’m sure you can find a deep-fake artist that would accommodate your request. Make sure you specify her Cori Bush is her name and not a shot you’re trying to get.
Those brave Democrats, fighting against all odds against the vast right-wing majority, sticking it to the man.
Can they keep Pressley in jail as long as the J6 protesters? I’ll feel more comfortable outside knowing that I won’t bump into her. All right, she lives in the other part of the district.
So lawmakers are protesting the court that they want abolished to make a law? Am I following this?
Forget about it OBE, it’s Squadtown
Seems to me that somewhere ought to really ban abortion just so these LARP’ers can incorporate a bit of reality into their play.
King Walz is running around trying to convince us Minnesodans that he is the only thing stopping the evil GOP patriarchy from snatching away abortions.
I think most GOPers have figured out that a total ban is a losing issue. Not that the Dems aren’t desperately trying to pretend that the GOP is hell bent on it.
“I think most GOPers have figured out that a total ban is a losing issue. Not that the Dems aren’t desperately trying to pretend that the GOP is hell bent on it.”

Everyone has their own definition of racism. Ironic, really.
There is a video, but it doesn’t mean it was because of race.
There’s a video. The mascot is high-fiving kids until they get to these two little girls and then kind of waves them off. Their could be about 10,000 explanations. I would say good luck proving it in court, but they already issued an apology and basically admitted fault. Are there still people that are dumb enough to think that bending the knee will save them?
“Anti-racism trainer” is a new – and shocking! – detail to me.
That’s a great euphemism for “shameless grifter”. I’ll bet you money this isn’t her first lawsuit for feeling like the victim of the razisms. I wouldn’t take that money.

Legal, shmegal. If it’s anything like the last “emergency”, it will allow them to do whatever they want for as long as they want.
*taps nose*
Something nation of men something nation of laws
Look, we need to declare an emergency, because the climate. The legislature hadn’t had enough time to act, 14 billion years just isn’t enough time and so the executive needs to take unilateral action.
They know it will take at least a year to find someone who can manage to be granted standing, and for the case to be heard, ruled on, and appealed (at least once).
Then at the last moment the Biden administration will cancel the “state of emergency” and the courts will declare the issue moot.
FYTW?
Legal? Like that has ever mattered to either side of the same coin.
It’d be interesting to see how any actions taken by Executive Branch agencies will be viewed in light of the recent EPA SCOTUS decision.
FAA is delegated to provide safety to aircraft…an EO can just say “don’t make it a focus for blah blah”. It isn’t making new sweeping regulations like the EPA did.

A gunman shot and killed 3 people and injured 2 others at a mall in Greenwood, Indiana.
This tragedy comes after Indiana repealed its requirement for a permit to carry a handgun in public, which went into effect July 1.
More guns in public spaces do not make us safer.
…are dishonest.
Here’s what we’re not going to do: continue to uplift the NRA myth of a “good guy with a gun.”
Let me be clear: If more guns made us safer, America would be the safest country in the WORLD.

Children at risk of Monkeypox by end of the year unless 4 times the amount of vaccinations are rolled out in Britain to halt the spread.
Public health experts have estimated that 200,000 vaccine doses will be necessary in order to control the spread of the virus. This is 4 times the 50,000 vaccine doses currently on order.
The UK has already seen almost 2000 cases of monkeypox in recent weeks and months, and cases are believed to be doubling every 2 weeks.

Nein wood for you.
As natural gas and oil for heating skyrockets, many Germans are now turning to firewood as a way to keep warm this coming winter. But now firewood is getting rare too, and prices are skyrocketing. The German online Merkur reports of “exploding demand”.
According to firewood dealer Konrad Kötterl. “Some people are panicking about not being able to get any more wood.” As a result, they’re stockpiling. Normally, he has three to four orders a day in the summer. “Right now, it’s 20 to 30.”
Personally, I called a local firewood dealer earlier in the week. They told me they have none left and that they could put me down on a waiting list.
For a high school project I interviewed my uncle about his experience in the Great Depression. He said they used to break up a box car and use it for firewood. Maybe they can do the same to Klaus Schwab’s private jet.

I heard once that the Germans don’t take kindly to going from a first world country to a third-world shithole virtually overnight. Apparently last time that happened, when they tried to turn things around, it didn’t go so well for their neighbors.
I know Nuke plants take time to get back online, but couldn’t these idiots starting working on that right now? They turned 4 of them off earlier this year right? Even if it takes 4 months, the nuke plants would be back online by mid-November. Are the pols in Germany this fucking stupid?
These are all rhetorical questions, right?

Life would be so much easier if I was capable of being this delusional.
I remember this issue coming up in Con Law. Technically, it’s an open question whether a treaty can supersede the Constitution.
This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding
That’s horrifying. I’m frankly shocked that this little loophole doesn’t get exploited more often.
IANAL
I think the catch is that most treaties aren’t treaties: they aren’t ratified by 2/3 of the Senate. There are executive orders, congressional proclamations, and even duly-passed bills signed into law on simple majority that are spoken of in the tone of treaty that aren’t treaty.
How a treaty works example: consider all the migratory bird treaties (with the UK and Mexico and cetera). Arkansas can’t create a season or limit or allow harvesting techniques that are forbidden by those treaties even if federal law were otherwise silent. The treaties are supreme the same way federal laws are.
The open question is whether an international treaty (duly entered into by the US) that, say, forbade online hate speech or banned civilian ownership of semiautomatic firearms would be trumped by the 1A or 2A respectively.
of course: twas understood
there’s inconsistency in the constitution without looking to treaty: 9A and 10A are so vague that the people can claim rights that the states insist they can regulate with their powers; immovable rock and irresistible force
hell, I’m sure there were several FF who were part of writing and ratifying the Aliens and Sedition Act
people are messy: telling other people what they can’t do is walking tightrope
Holmes of course for the court.
Which Holmes immediately and trivially decides isn’t relevant. The man had a unique capacity to insult the Founder’s structures.
The upshot being Congress was granted the power to act BY THE TREATY, whereas previously it had no power to do so. Fucking OWHIII.

Any suggestions for a good wireless headset for work from home?
I use Bose, and while they’re pricey they do allow me to get up and take a piss during meetings.
I have a Steelseries Arctis 9. The sound is so much better than my old wired headset and way better than the wired headset corporate issued. The wireless range is decent. I can go from the basement office up to the kitchen only losing connection on the stairs (2.4 doesn’t go through concrete and clay so well). The adjustable and retractable microphone is nice. The volume and mute on the headset are easy to feel while wearing. The driver automatically reverts to speakers when the headset goes to sleep. I wish it had wireless charging, but I only plug it in at the end of the day.
I like the over-the-ear headsets, so I have a wired Jabra Evolve 80.
Theres a couple wireless alternatives from Jabra (Evolve2 85, and I can’t remember the other), but they’re expensive new. I paid much less grabbing a used one off eBay.
I have the same Jabra. It’s good, but I would like the option of being untethered. However my workplace won’t permit wireless accessories (mouse, keyboard, headset).
Thanks. I was aware of Bose and Jabra. I will check out the Steelseries too.
It’s all shit /audiophile
Yes. I am not getting wireless headphones to listen to music. I have studio-quality headphones for that.
What I need is to stop getting the fucking wired headset wrapped around my chair during business meetings.
Yeah, dying at work is really bad, but dying at work of autoasphyxiation is worse.
Not exactly the concern. I get the wire wrapped around the arm of the chair. Then, when I push back, I pull headset off the table when I am not wearing. And one time, I pulled my laptop halfway across the table before I figure out I was caught on my chair. Fuck wires.
got it; just messing with you
Another benefit is being able to mute and go to the restroom during a meeting while still listening.

Old English dēor, also originally denoting any quadruped, used in the (now archaic) phrase small deer meaning ‘small creatures collectively’; of Germanic origin; related to Dutch dier, German Tier .
They did that for stupid woke reasons, but words are defined by usage.

Now he has to put in the catheter again for weeeeeks….uuuuuuuugh….he asked for more pain pills of mine. I told him I would but I’m out. My dad is a huuuuuge anti-drug guy. You know the kind of drugs. But I offered an edible…and he accepted. Told him what was what and gave him a 2.5mg gummy.
He went out for a walk…and he’s still out…this is marvelous. If what I think is happening really is, and I’m fairly confident, then this is a fantastic development. I hope it worked the way that we all know it does.

He’s seeing a hooker?
I think he’s getting high for possibly the first time ever….Mom says that he tried once or something but I’m guessing bullshit. He HATES drugs, but he especially hates smoking cuz of his parents.
His walk has been at least an hour now. Before this new treatment strategy, this has not been in any realm possible. This might be revelatory for him and us.
“I learned from you, all right?!? I LEARNED IT FROM WATCHING YOU, SON!”
Ho hum. Well. He was out walking for quite a while. Now he’s back and hasn’t said anything. But he hasn’t complained about anything either. Seems like he does feel much better. His commentary during the All Star game is a bit more cheerful and lively than normal. Nothing too extreme, just like the dosage prescribed, but a noticeably upward tic in his spirit.
Dr Evan…flies again.
Rick Beato listens to last week’s Spotify Top 10.
Now I admit I don’t listen to recent pop music, but I was totally unprepared to hear some of the most monochromatic, uncreative, repetitive garbage I’ve heard in, well, ever. What the fuck is going on with popular music?
It’s been that way for years. IIRC, it’s a very small group of producers, etc. who have the right algorithms that will sell.
Complete shit.
The #3 song sounds like a thinly veiled rip-off of A-Ha
#2 isn’t bad, singer has some talent, and it’s well written
1 and 10 are good. Autotune is a crutch for bad singers.
10 is of course my favorite.
Three words: Junior High Girls.
Seriously, this is the group with the greatest pecking order in western civilization. What the queen bees say is good is all that there is in that world. Once they break out of it, tastes go all over the map and there isn’t enough of one solid choice to make the top ten.
… 🙁 Somehow my living room is 6 degrees warmer than the outside. The air simply isn’t moving through the house.
