Trump Says He’ll Protect Women, ‘Like It or Not,’ Evoking His History of Misogyny
  • It's not even taken out of context. He literally said, “I said, well, I’m going to do it whether the women like it or not. I am going to protect them.”

    Supreme Court’s conservative justices leave in place Virginia’s purge of voter registrations
  • the Supreme Court didn’t explain the reason for the decision

    What could they say, though? "We know you're breaking federal law and all that but carry on. Those votes won't suppress themselves."

    What we know about the voter roll purge in Virginia
  • He says the fact that the court got involved on a case like this at the last minute means they don’t plan to be sitting on the sidelines. It shows they’re willing to be involved in some of the minutia of running an election. And we know a lot of litigation is headed their way this election season.

    I have long been saying that the plan is for SCOTUS to step in and declare the winner after Trump and his agents sew enough chaos, so it's frankly terrifying to hear this comment from an election law expert. I've really been hoping I am wrong.

    Elon Musk’s ironic voter fraud obsession
  • Considering the apparently unbreakable rule that every conservative accusation is really a confession, does this mean Musk voted when he was still an illegal immigrant in the USA?

    Arnold Schwarzenegger endorses Kamala Harris: ‘I will always be an American before I am a Republican’
  • This is a very good point. That line of my post above was a visceral reaction to the whole both-sides are the same argument he's using, but as you say, whatever it takes to get people to feel okay about vote=ing for Harris is worth it.

    Arnold Schwarzenegger endorses Kamala Harris: ‘I will always be an American before I am a Republican’
  • Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

    Spoken like a true republican.

    Democratic administrations are better with the economy than republican administrations in virtually every case for the last 75 years. Plus, don't forget that Clinton not only balanced the budget during his term, he left office with a projected budget surplus that Gee Dubya threw away with his tax cuts for the rich and unfunded wars.

    As for crime, crime rates have been steadily dropping for decades and continued to drop under the Biden administration. In fact, violent crime rates are near a 50-year low!

    Teri Garr Dead: 'Young Frankenstein' and 'Tootsie' Star Was 79
  • I was thinking of the main cast, really, but I honestly thought Gene Hackman was gone. Happy to be wrong about that.

    Sadly, most of the players of the bit parts are gone too, including Danny Goldman, who played the medical student with a line. The little girl is still alive as if the shoe-shine boy and the other credited medical student. I guess I shouldn't be surprised considering the movie is now 50 years old. Damn, I'm old. :(

  • I think that she was the last surviving actor from Young Frankenstein. Everyone else in that movie is gone now except the director. Mel Brooks is still kicking around at 98 years old.

    dailyboulder.com ‘Nail It’: Trump Riddled With Mockery After Saying ‘a Criminal is a Criminal And Stays a Criminal’ at Minnesota Rally

    Donald Trump, the first former U.S. president ever convicted on 34 felony counts, faced a torrent of scorn and ridicule after he declared, “A criminal is a criminal, they generally stay a criminal,” during a rally in St. Cloud, Minnesota on Saturday.

    Alternative headline: Trump finally tells the truth about something.

    Republicans, in one of the more moronic takes of the election season, say that if Biden is too old to run for office, then he's too old to hold the office and should resign.

    Fulton County prosecutors filed an emergency request for a protective order in the Georgia election subversion case on Tuesday after recorded statements made by multiple defendants as part of their plea deals were made public.

    On Monday, ABC News and The Washington Post published footage of the proffer sessions, which showed the four defendants who pleaded guilty being questioned by prosecutors about their involvement in various efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.

    Prosecutors said the footage was turned over to the remaining defendants as part of discovery, urging the court to impose restrictions on how the defendants can disclose the materials.

    “The release of these confidential video recordings is clearly intended to intimidate witnesses in this case, subjecting them to harassment and threats prior to trial, constitutes indirect communication about the facts of this case with codefendants and witnesses, and obstructs the administration of justice, in violation of the conditions of release imposed on each defendant,” prosecutors wrote in their motion.

    To prevent further disclosure, prosecutors said they will not provide videos of any proffer sessions to defendants moving forward.

    “Instead, defendants must come to the District Attorney’s Office to view confidential video recordings of proffers. They may take notes, but they will be prohibited from creating any recordings or reproductions,” prosecutors wrote in the filing.

    www.newsweek.com Donald Trump may have just broken the law

    Trump has come under scrutiny after a gun was auctioned off at a fundraiser held in his Mar-a-Lago, Florida, home.

    Last weekend, an auction held at his Florida home saw the item, described as "a one of a kind Trump Glock from the 45th President of the United States Donald J. Trump," go up for bidding during a charity event. Pictures circulating on social media show the gun being presented at the auction, with news website Meidas Touch saying that bidding for the item began at $10,000.

    However, the transaction could land the former U.S. president in considerable trouble, given that federal law prohibits those under indictment from transacting firearms. Trump is embroiled in active legal proceedings, having testified at a civil trial over the New York investigation into financial fraud at the Trump Organization. The former president has denied all wrongdoing and repeatedly said that the ongoing federal and civil cases against him are part of a political witch hunt.
