“A New York grand jury will hear a final surprise witness on Monday and won’t vote on Trump indictment until it’s over”
Oooh, look a squirrel!
They need to prevent this guy from running cause they will have to blatantly steal another election to keep him out, and they are going to be in trouble either way. Fuck the globalists and their criminality.
Not really, they managed just fine while he was in office. Another 4 years wouldn’t change a damn thing. It isn’t like Trump’s administration showed a great capacity to change the trajectory we are on.
Yeah, the difference is that we don’t know how bad these agencies were back when. Now we all do. If Trump ordered full house cleaning, the angry reaction from the left would fall on deaf ears. Sure they might do a lot of “mostly peaceful protesting”, but this time around people would know kicking their ass for doing it was the right response too.
Who knows all that — This little bubble here? The 3-percenters and/or OathKeepers? The greater American electorate?
Without active support from Congress, no administration is going to raze any part of the federal behemoth.
For one, Trump will.
Pfft. He couldn’t even get the troops out of Syria.
You would think for a guy that likes to boss people around, he’d figure out how to actually issue an order.
If your assumption was people would obey your orders, why would you, busy dealing with a ton of shit, be checking up on them? At least, one would assume now that the corruption and criminality is no longer in doubt, Trump will be dissuaded from that belief people would just do what he says, and this time he would personally or trusted people, check what he says is done and if not, hold people accountable.
Just like he pardoned the 1/6 “insurgents”.
Alex, your way too optimistic.
Trump had 4 years to figure all that out, and didn’t learn or implement his learning.
I still think he’s way better than most the alternatives, but I see no reason to believe he will do any better than his first term.
2017/2018/2019 were great times.
2020, not so much. That’s when the commie rat fuckers kicked it into high gear.
2017/2018/2019 were great times
As soon as he accepted the royal scepter, the skies cleared. C’mon man. I’ll give him credit for what his administration did right; there just wasn’t that much.
Trump tax cuts were great. Generally slowing the advance of the progs I count as a good in and of itself, Afghan withdrawal would never have happened without him.
I think there is a lot of good there.
Spending of course was bad and bump stock ban was just????
COVID sucked, but could have been a lot worse, as evidenced immediately upon Biden taking the reins.
Yeah, most of the progs I know are still all in on bureaucracy. The new trend seems to be that, IF Fauci et al lied, they did so because Trump’s obstinance forced them into a noble lie.
They’d be much better off leaving him alone. Trump was happily shooting himself firmly in the foot trying to get DeSantis — and a whole lot of his former supporters haven’t forgotten he still loves Operation Warp Speed (because he initiated it, and his ego makes sure he can’t say anything he did was a terrible, horrible no-good idea). I seriously doubt he would have won the primary, much less the general (regardless of the Dems propping up their version of a taxidermy squirrel most likely) with those tactics.
If he gets indicted? Won’t change my mind personally… but the rumbling sure is that it would rile up enough “Frack you, Left” to get him at least through the primary. :shrug: We’ll see.
How many votes would DeSantis get by promising to pardon Trump from an obvious political hack job?
The conspiratorial view is that they’re trying to make sure Trump gets the nomination as they think they can beat him and not DeSantis.
That’s what they did when Hillary was running.
Ballots, not votes.
^
I’m going to start referring to the Democrats as “The Party of Trump”. They are far more obsessed with him than anyone else. He’s all they ever talk about.
But of course! It is a Banjos link day, and she always provides! 😉 (Morning, Banjos… morning, all!)
They are trying to distract us from all the Biden family corruption.
I don’t think Banjos is. 😉 (And what corruption? Most transparent, honest, wonderful unicorn administration in history! Just ask them!)
There’s so much corruption I can’t imagine trying to wade through it all.
I like this explanation.
Maybe that is what this is all about?
Prosecute Trump and after the huge uproar back off and establish a new “norm” that you can’t go after ex-presidents. Then Joe and his family will be able to point at that when more evidence surfaces about his grifting.
“Midsize U.S. banks reportedly ask the FDIC to insure all deposits for two years”
You know why us tax payers will be made to accept this? Because the people asking were forced by government to do woke shit government wanted. The same sort of woke fuckers that back when accepted government decrees they should give mortgages to people they knew couldn’t and wouldn’t pay them back – leading to the 2008 housing collapse that cost tax payers over a trillion dollars – again went along with fucking same group of scumbags now printing money like it was growing on trees. The fucking banks went and bought government securities that they clearly saw would tank in a time where interest were going to HAVE to be driven up, because said government said the rate hikes were transitory and these fucks went along with the liars.
So government will HAVE to protect the entities that do its dirty work and then are blamed for the fallout from said dirty work under the lie that they are saving the common man. They are not. they are saving their donor class.
I’ve already seen a couple of stories in my newsfeed from financial rags warning about staying in cash, and how dangerous it is now. So instead, here’s our top tips to invest that money.
My credit union sent out an email the other day saying “Don’t worry about us! We’re all good”.
The banking system, just like the money system underlying it, RELIES on people having confidence in it.
Someone should tell them that extreme royal fuck-ups (with little to no consequences to the morons in charge) every 7 or 8 years doesn’t help that.
Has anyone at the top admitted error? Then there have been no mistakes, so I can’t possibly know what you are talking about.
The Fifth Column podcast had economist Allison Schrager on and she dropped this tidbit:
The Fed’s stress-tests didn’t include a scenario where interest rates rose substantially.
Everyone was on the “low interest rates, forever” train.
People are crying for “moar regulation!” but what we had was laughably incompetent.
The fed zero-rates were just a temporary govt program!
Wait. So both the inflation and the zero-rate program are transitory? But they kept doing things they knew would destroy us all when the transitory thing happened….
With tests like that, your practically pushing banks into whatever risks you’re not accounting for. I’m this case the risks involved in rising rates is exactly what they would have incentivized banks to do.
Those emails never fill me with confidence. We’re just getting started. I have zero faith in the people in power.
A New York grand jury will hear a final surprise witness on Monday and won’t vote on Trump indictment until it’s over
I hope the Dems go through with this, even so far as to frog walk him. ///MakePoliticalPersecutionGreatAgain
We need to grow more bananas.
Thy could be grown in east Atlanta, or even Alabama.
We need a pool on the surprise witness. I say Michael Avenetti – hopefully in his prison togs.
Nah, according to NPR, it’s one of the lesser Trump lawyers… who is going to say that Cohen is a lying bitchweasel and his testimony shouldn’t be relied on.
That’s old news.
It’s all lying bitchweasels as far as the eye can see. There isn’t a single person involved in either side of this that should ever be trusted to do anything more than say whatever they need to say to get their way. Despite the fact that Trump is probably about as dishonest and backhanded as anyone here, it doesn’t change the fact that this entire shitshow is an obvious banana republic show trial.
“Biden DOJ Asks Supreme Court to Fast-Track Case That Could Reinstate Federal Gun Ban”
Somebody make sure one of the weaponized three letter agencies have not created a deep fake of conservatives – like Alito fucking rabbits wrapped in duct tape while screaming racial slurs – and are using that to skew the vote in favor of the gun grabbers!
“In the most famous case, Sen. John Edwards was criminally charged in 2011 with disguising payments from campaign donors to keep quiet during his 2008 presidential campaign the fact that he had a long-running affair with a mistress with whom he fathered a child in 2007 as his wife Elizabeth battled fatal breast cancer.”
That sounds way worse than banging some porn star.
Now do the Clintons paying off one of the many women Bill actually raped.
“The Disney cull begins: First wave of 4,000 employees set to be laid off within weeks”
The tragedy in this is that the people that really need to be thrown out on the street, Disney’s leadership, will still remain in place and able to do more evil shit that will turn off Americans that once might have paid them for their services. I for one avoid anything Disney like the plague and have been doing so for over a decade.
Didn’t the head of Disney get kicked out a month or two back in favor of the previous CEO?
Yes. But the new boss is the same as the old boss (i.e, he started Disney on this path prior)
Right, if anything he was more all in on the woke shit. Just pointing out that someone did in fact lose their job at the top.
I think he legit believed that the woke train would be a money train.
Some signs point towards him not really believing that anymore. The culling of obviously woke Star Wars shows was one move that signified this.
“We are also encouraged by the new functionality in the CBP One mobile application, which has provided migrants the ability to safely and easily schedule an appointment at a Port of Entry to request a humanitarian exception to the Title 42 public health order. The app cuts out the smugglers and decreases migrant exploitation. CBP continues to make improvements to the app to address feedback we have received from stakeholders.”

“Almost 200 US Banks Are at Risk of Silicon Valley Bank-Like Collapse”
I don’t know how many banks there are, but shouldn’t it be close to 100%?
Their whole business model is fractional reserve banking so that they can make loans and investments.
I’m sure BoA knows it has a fast track to the money printing presses, hence no risk. brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I think SVB was taken out, as was Signature, Silvergate, and FTX.
It’s not a coincidence that all four were heavy into crypto, particularly stablecoins, and very politically connected.
“very politically connected.”
If so, then who is taking them out?
The Fed, along with the big NY banks.
The key issue here is that up until Powell’s first interest rate hike, the Fed, the ECB, the BOJ, and the COE were all coordinating policy, as they had been since 2011. That’s over.
It’s now open warfare between the central banks. LIBOR is going away and the Fed’s draining the leveraged eurodollar markets.
Hold on gosh darn minute. You’re thinking of this place all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The, the money’s not here. Well, your money’s in Joe’s crypto. Joe, you had one of those Potter monkeys, didn’t you? Well, have you forgotten? Have you forgotten what he charged for that crummy cartoon ape??

“In 2019, there were 280 murders reported in Houston. That number increased in 2020, with 400 reported. In 2021, there were 465 murders reported in the city and in 2022 there were 435 murders reported.”

That’s a big jump, unless 2019 was unusually low.
You do have to be skeptical of cherry picking with any data presented.
Better to see a graph of the past 50 years and also to scale it to population.
I get the impression that you are more concerned with the total number than the headline case, you merciless bigot.
“The gun lobby saw Bruen as a landmark win, but it is a significant challenge for police, law enforcement, and the population of America when it comes to public safety,” Durbin said.

“Whether analyzed through the lens of Supreme Court precedent, or of the text, history, and tradition of the Second Amendment, that statute is constitutional. Accordingly, the Department will seek further review of the Fifth Circuit’s contrary decision.”
Because obviously denying a right without even so much as a conviction of a crime is perfectly constitutional…
Well, the government can seize other property without a conviction.
I wish a civil forfeiture case would get in front the current SCOTUS, since they seem to tend more toward what the constitution actually says.
One word – Kelo. That’s still precedent. I don’t trust this court any more than any other.

Dollar Tree has pulled eggs from store shelves over prices skyrocketing
I didn’t know they sold eggs.
For $1.25 it must have been a two pack.
The last dozen eggs I bought at a grocery store (last week) were $2.11. Are they still elevated everywhere else?
People would be lining up for prices like that.
Cheapest I see on the Wegman’s web site is $3.99/doz (and that’s a good price).
But that’s in large part because of “good intentions”:
https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/massachusetts-egg-prices-animal-welfare-law/
$3.60/dozen at CostCo last week.
Ok, damn.
*runs to grocery store to buy more eggs at $2.11*
The selection changes every week – yesterday they had Land ‘o’ Lakes (?!) eggs for 3.49.
Every other brand was over $4.50.
I just looked into adding a few more chicks to my upcoming poultry order. There doesn’t appear to be a single straight run or female chick still available for the rest of this year. At least from this hatchery, which is a very large one.
Been ordering there for years and have never seen anything like it. Reminds me of seeing the swept clean gun shelves right before the 2012 (re)election.
Bought by people who will soon realize that raising chickens for eggs is many orders of magnitude more expensive than buying even expensive eggs.

TW: Frum, Atlantic and what passes for thinking from him is almost as shambolic as Biden’s.
Yes David, they did, and so are you still.
Iraq does have elections, but the governments produced by those elections have been frail, unstable, and corrupt.
They need a stable, corrupt government like the US.
democracy != liberty
What Iraqis need is people to “fortify” their elections as well to make sure the right people win those…
I thought that’s what the thousands of well armed diplomats from Blackwater were for.
Besides being wholly untrue, it’s not even what the war was sold on. Frum can’t keep his lies consistent.
That was my first reaction. That was the aftermath justification when weapons of mead destruction stopped being a useful message.
I saw Weapons of Mead Destruction in concert in ’96.
Kinnath hit hardest.
I’ve been known as a weapon of mead destruction at several fests.
A major part of Frum’s role in the buildup to the Iraq War was to attack the dissident right.
https://www.nationalreview.com/2003/03/unpatriotic-conservatives-david-frum/
The whole thing is worth a read to remind yourself of how Frum is nothing more than a shit-flinging monkey.
In a just world, Frum would be hand delivered to ISIS.
At the very least he, Bill Krystal and the rest of their ilk shouldn’t be able to walk out in public without being spat on. Who listens to/reads these r-tards?
Ah, a golden oldie.

Trump doesn’t have Democrat/Establishment privilege.
Last year, the Federal Election Commission fined Hillary Clinton for misreporting payments made to a law firm during the 2016 campaign to hide spending. The law firm in question was Perkins Coie, which hired Fusion GPS to conduct research that resulted in the Steele Dossier, which was later used by Congress to impeach Trump. Clinton classified these expenses as “legal services” and was fined $113,000 for the misrepresentation.
“By intentionally obscuring their payments through Perkins Coie and failing to publicly disclose the true purpose of those payments,” Hillary’s presidential campaign and DNC “were able to avoid publicly reporting on their statutorily required FEC disclosure forms the fact that they were paying Fusion GPS to perform opposition research on Trump with the intent of influencing the outcome of the 2016 presidential election,” the initial complaint read per the Associated Press.
In contrast, Trump is currently facing potential felony charges for recording alleged payments made to his attorney, who then allegedly used the money to pay off porn star Stormy Daniels. These payments were originally classified as legal fees, and the legal fallout from them could be severe, despite the fact that both he and Clinton are essentially being accused of the same crime.
Some animals are more equal than others.
Something I was unaware of until this morning:
Traute Lafrenz, a member of the White Rose resistance to Germany’s Nazis, passed away at 103 years old. She was the last known living member of the doomed group of idealistic students.
In a world like our own it is important to remember that resistance to evil is possible — and essential. Traute Lafrenz imbued and exuded that spirit, risking everything in the fight against Nazi rule in Germany. She and her friends succeeded even as they appeared to fail, with many of them paying with their lives. Thankfully she survived. Decades ago she demonstrated uncommon courage. She deserves to be remembered for doing what so many other Germans did not: count the cost and take a stand.
“Many Soviets and Chinese died as a result of horrendous policies which caused, but may not have intended, mass starvation.”
The Soviets absolutely intended mass starvation. Get rid of the kulaks, ethnic cleansing to clear the way for mass re-settlement of Russians in good farmland (especially in Ukraine). The CCP? Couldn’t say.
It’s amazing how successful leftist apologetics for Communism has been.
When you control the medium, you control the message.
Apologetics is the right word. Communism is the most successful religion started in the 19th century. Their missionaries have been such a success that it makes other religions blush.
The Apologentsia.
Amazing and sickening.

On my last post, was there no featured image or was there a problem with it? I’ve noticed a couple of times that the image I thought I uploaded (in this case IFLA fish sticks.jpg) wasn’t there.
I don’t know if it’s a problem on my end or a problem with the image itself (each time it’s happened, it’s been with a file I edited).
The acrostic solution was 404 as well.
Presumably a different issue, but I’ll pass this on. Thanks.
That was probably on me (I draft these up during Wed Zoom time and thus was quite possibly drunk)
I opened your article in Block Editor yesterday morning to give it a final read-through and check the settings before scheduling it. The featured image section was blank, like you hadn’t set a featured image, so I set it to the default stock image for your column. I don’t know whether you didn’t save the article after adding the featured image, or whether the antiquated, highly customized WordPress template which Glibs runs on is squirrelly about featured images in the Block Editor. FYI, you are the only writer who uses the new, Block Editor which makes it harder for me to troubleshoot.
I’ve emailed you several weeks back about an adjacent issue with your articles / featured images / Block Editor before, but perhaps didn’t explain well why that was a BFD and not just a curiosity thing. I’ll resend that, along with some more details. Please work with me on this.

Dutch Elections See Tractor Protest Party Trounce Globalist Govt and EU Green Agenda
If we had a Tractor party on the ballots here in the U.S., they’d probably win too – until late mail-in ballots arrived at least.
Good to see some serious pushback on the insanity.
The buzz of racism.
Two dogs in McAllen, Texas died last week after getting attacked by the Africanized Bee, also known as killer bees, according to reports.
NBC station KVEO in Brownsville, Texas reported that the dogs died at a McAllen home after getting attacked by bees. …
Devon Johnson of R9 Hive & Honey told the news station the bees were Africanized honey bees, which are oftentimes misclassified as aggressive, though like regular honey bees, they only get aggressive when threatened.
She also said the bees have a three-day memory span, so if they get triggered by a lawn mower, they could get aggressive toward something else later.
Sounds like they are not misclassified.
Let me guess, calling Africanized bees “aggressive” is racist.
DUH! You are picking on marginalized Africans!
though like regular honey bees, they only get aggressive when threatened.
The africanized bees define “threatened” very differently than the tame bees. I’ve been stung for walking within 300 ft of an africanized swarm. OTOH, I’ve mowed right in front of regular hives without getting stung.
Plus they use ground level hives as opposed to raised hives. They might have a hive in grass and you won’t know.
There is a rock climb in Phoenix that is unclimbable because of a hive that set up near it. A number of years ago (10?) a climber died when he was swarm attacked and couldn’t escape mid pitch.
Just like sharks, they only bite when you touch their private parts.
And just like a stripper, don’t put your private parts in my face if you don’t want them touched.
From what I read, the witness ( a former legal adviser to Cohen) will testify as to evidence in his book, directly from Cohen, that has the potential to crush the case. Evidently no one knew about a published book that contains statements by Cohen that refute what he’s said before the Grand Jury recently?
https://nypost.com/2023/03/19/a-potential-trump-indictment-is-a-sideshow-gift-to-the-biden-family/
Oh man, I can’t wait for the Bragg press conference after that.
Why are we even listening to someone named after a totes racist Civil War confederate general? He should be forced to change his name.
It’s a political hit job so he should indict anyway. I mean why not? His potential voters will consider it a plus regardless and Absolute Immunity bitchezz. There’s zero negative consequences he’ll be met with.
That’s because prosecutors and their lackeys the cops aren’t looking for the truth. They are looking for evidence to convict somebody. Not the same thing.
+15-20 for a ham sandwich
It’s that time of year when the economic census harasses me until I submit answers to my interrogation.
Tell them there are FOUR LIGHTS
Damn inflation.
The damn GOP should stop griping about corruption and give Joe his money to hire 86K more census takers!
I got into it years ago with a census taker who kept coming back and harassing me to take the long form. I told her, I’d do the normal one but that was it. She told me that that was impossible because I was “selected” for the long form and it was my legal duty to fill it out.
She must have stopped by 10 times. I told her that the fine for not filling it out was a max of $500 and to just start the paperwork to prosecute me, but stop coming by. She eventually stopped but I think it was because she came by while I was on a business trip and my wife complied.
I’ve just filled out the number of adults and left the rest blank the last couple of times.
“Two people live here”
Repeat it enough times and they finally go away. I throw all the mail stuff in the wood stove, makes good fire starter.
I thought the fine was $250. One of my neighbors/friends was the census taker, came by, we discussed things and I told him he can fill the form out
himself, he lives across the road and has known me for 60 years. No idea what he did, never asked.
Live in a rural zip and the USDA farm survey wants their pound of flesh too.
I used to get that Community Survey thingy; I just ignored it and they eventually went away. (I did fill out the Nielsen journal assiduously. Five crisp dollar bills…)
My wife filled out a long form version once – I was furious. Last time, like slumbrew, they got what they are Constitutionally permitted.
I fought them tooth and nail the first time and got them to leave me alone.
Much of the information is publicly available, so I put in website links for the county assessors office and such.
I told them essentially the same thing. The school board, town board, the county, state and fed know those things, unless we count the orphans.

My “flight” from FNL to DEN is delayed due to mechanical problems. Heading to MEM for work, trying the United bus service out of Ft Collins. Better a bus than plane problem, I guess.
Headed out, nice that I dont have to put phone in bus mode.
I’ve done that trip a few times. In my experience, it’s very much a non-zero chance that you end up stranded on the side of the road or in traffic fretting about whether you are going to make your flight.
This is my first time on E470. I am too cheap to use it.

What “rights”, specifically, are being attacked? This part gets left unsaid.
I would also like to know who, specifically, is “attacking” these rights.
The right to be found attractive, the right to be told how brave and wonderful I am…
His tattoo artist should be prosecuted then. No way anyone is going to find xer attractive with that awful ink.
The right to be though of as stunning and brave. The right to mutilate and sexually groom children.
I believe it is the right of children to take cross-sex hormones and undergo surgery to remove their genitalia.

/ML King tosses and turns
Costello will cite evidence contained in the 2020 book “The Fixers: The Bottom-Feeders, Crooked Lawyers, Gossipmongers, and Porn Stars Who Created the 45th President” that Cohen keeps changing his story about the Stormy Daniels payments and can’t be trusted.
After that, they will introduce as evidence a series of grocery store gossip tabloid headlines.
This hush money scandal is one of those things that I truly don’t understand. Why is it illegal to pay off someone if you are running for office? I’m assuming that some rando could pay off a bar tramp to keep her from blabbing to his wife?
Also, does it have to be hush money for sex? Or are there other categories that are also illegal? For example, if I paid my idiot buddies to not tell the press how bad I am at basketball would I be in trouble?
It just seems crazy to me that it is illegal to make it a bit more difficult for the journalos to dig up dirt.
Also, is it illegal to pay off a doctor to say that everything is just fine? Seems to me that paying off Fetterman’s doctor (or a Biden doc) is worse than paying off a floozie.
It’s not illegal to do any of those things.
It’s illegal to use campaign cash to do it or to classify it as a legal expense when it isn’t.
Thanks. That at least makes a bit of sense. Of course, it is still bullshit.
Never give in to a blackmailer. You get more of what you reward.

Warning: it is an anime. It is also a cyberpunk anime, with all of the tropes contained therein. Aaaaand it is a computer-assisted animation cyberpunk anime.
On the animation — on one hand, the faces are video game-level animated. Not a fan. Otoh, the bodies are frankly spectacular. The positioning and movement of them is more expressive than the typical hand-drawn. And there are just so many little touches with them that I approve of. For example, the Prime minister of Japan is American (the geopolitical situation is complicated) and he’s always reaching out for a handshake, bringing the left hand up to touch the people he’s talking with, etc. and the animators do a great job of putting in hesitations and flinches on the part of the Japanese exposed to this.
The plot: this isn’t a sequel to Ghost in the Shell, but is that thing that the Japanese do that we don’t really have a word for, though I guess “reboot” comes closest to it. It’s a future cyberpunk dystopia caused by a global financial collapse resulting in the nations of the world consolidating (the G20 is now the G4) with the American Empire being the biggest swinging dick on the planet. The concept of “ghost hacking” (software being able to rewrite the human brain) along with self-aware AI from the original GitS, are in play with an AI merging with humans resulting in bizarre and ultraviolent behavior. The Section 9 team investigates as to the origin of this AI and the containment of these human-AI hybrids (“posthumans”) going deeper into the rabbit hole. The ending, while not as bizarre as is typical for this sort of thing (see also: Neon Genesis Evangelion, Revolutionary Girl UItena, The Prisoner, Mr. Robot, etc). is sufficiently ambiguous that the world may or may not have been destroyed in a nuclear/biological weapons exchange, and if the world does exist, the human race may or may not have been eradicated.) And all of this is the result of a traumatized middle schooler obsessing over and drawing the completely wrong lessons from 1984, the book which was given to him by an off-grid ex-soldier disillusioned by his government.
How does it related to the SAC series? I watched that on DVD years ago (and still have some Laughing Man stickers floating around here, someplace)
Typically with these you remove any actual history from previous versions but retain the same characters
At least that’s how it seems to me. I can never really wrap my mind around it.
Yeah, I would hope that some of the Nihon-adjacent glibs could tell us what the term is.
But it’s “take the same* characters, but tell a different** story.”
*sometimes the characters are also changed a bit
**sometimes the story is a variant of the original (like the Rebuild of Evangelion series).
I never saw that one, so dunno.
I’ve seen both and it’s hard to say exactly what’s going on, at least to some extent previous history was retconned. I think it’s best understood on it’s own as there are many inconsistencies otherwise.

That must be why there’s fresh snow on the ground.
This hush money scandal is one of those things that I truly don’t understand. Why is it illegal to pay off someone if you are running for office? I’m assuming that some rando could pay off a bar tramp to keep her from blabbing to his wife?
How is it functionally different from court ordered “restitution”?
For that matter, why isn’t it extortion on the part of the payee?
Telling the truth isn’t extortion, apparently telling lies is OK too, until you get caught.
Yeah, but Orang Man Bad.
In 2022, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg reduced 52% of all felony charges to a misdemeanor

Well no shit, after SVB. If you’re a depositor over $250k, would you leave it in a smaller bank or move it to a too big to fail guaranteed to be bailed out big bank?
They are going back to cheap money to bail out the banks. The problem is, nobody wants dollars any more so inflation is about to take off like a rocket.
We’ve been exporting our inflation for years – it’s why we weren’t getting what we should have been, even most recently. That hasn’t dampened the market for dollars overseas.
If monetary theory had any validity at all, we would be in hyper-inflation by now.
For how much longer?
Oh hell, I’m stunned that we haven’t had repercussions – yet.

Chinese President Xi Jinping is in Russia for 3-day visit, meetings with Putin
This is the kind of meeting – developing closer trade relations, BRICS currency, and probably a military alliance – that every western diplomat has tried to avoid for 30+ years. Instead, Biden and team couldn’t have tried harder to push them together.

Conservative judge abused at Stanford Law School say protesters told him they hoped his daughters would be RAPED, as it’s revealed they were angry at him for misgendering transgender pedophile
Fifth Circuit Judge Stuart Kyle Duncan, 51, was asked to give a speech at Stanford, but students and the DEI associate dean interrupted his speech
Associate Dean Tirien Steinbach asked to speak to students after Duncan requested an administrator and then gave a six-minute prepared speech
Stanford leaders later apologized to him, but students have since protested against the apology
Needs moar posters
“the judge eventually conceded, saying: ‘I guess I have to let her.’ ”
Eh, not really, bro.
“Martinez and Tessier-Lavinge admitted that staff ‘should have enforced university policies’ and had ‘failed’ to do so. They said Steinbach ‘intervened in inappropriate ways that are not aligned with the university’s commitment to free speech.’ ”
But since they didn’t fire the dean involved or really reprimand the students or professors teaching this, no lessons were learned, except to keep acting like shit flinging baboons at what is allegedly a top notch law school.
At this point if I was going to school there I would dox these fuckers just to make sure people that hire don’t decide to black ball all students because of these fucking evil marxist freaks and their tantrums…
‘I guess I have to let her.’”

Recycled tripe and treacle
The world is rapidly approaching catastrophic levels of heating with international climate goals set to slip out of reach unless immediate and radical action is taken, according to a new UN-backed report.
“The climate time-bomb is ticking,” said António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, in a statement to mark the launch of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s synthesis report on Monday. “Humanity is on thin ice – and that ice is melting fast,” he added.
The report draws on the findings of hundreds of scientists to provide a comprehensive assessment of how the climate crisis is unfolding.
The science is not new – the report pulls together what the IPCC has already set out in a cluster of other reports over the last few years – but it paints a very stark picture of where the world is heading.
Bow down. Appease the gods. Obey the priesthood.
Meh, if they’re right then I get closer too the beach. Sounds good.
Right or not, if this shit isn’t stopped dead in their tracks, we will, sooner than later, be back to cutting people’s beating hearts out of their chests on some temple altar to appease Gaia…
Horseshit. Every word of it.
Local news:
“Cleveland just had one of the mildest winters ever. Is it a fluke or climate change?:
Cleveland’s winter months have been getting warmer at a faster rate than other times of the year.”
Article is paywalled, but really, it’s that the lake hasn’t frozen over the past several years (It’s been 4-5 since it really froze over from memory). That’s when we get the really cold winters, with less snow.
I just got back from skiing in the Sierra Nevadas that is presently in one of the biggest snow years in recorded history. I’m old enough to remember when they said snow would soon be a thing of the past there. The ski resorts should be going until June this year.
Wait for it… one year doesn’t change the direction of climate!
It will be really fun if you get a second un-natural year; then the story will be see, see how climate changes!
Last year’s snow tore off the snow barrier on my house and the cement block chimney from my garage. The roofer said he never known that to happen. We had a lot of snow last winter but we have more this year. We’ll see what happens, more coming this week.
Respect muh pronouns, bigot.
The Biden administration is purposefully muddying the waters between mere speech and harassing conduct specifically to force the use of pronouns and gender-affirming language. Under the proposed rule, students and faculty can violate Title IX simply for refusing to use someone else’s “preferred” pronouns.
Ideally, investigations involving Title IX are mindful of First Amendment protections and proceed according to the American standard of due process that a person is innocent until proven guilty. Title IX has typically been reserved for incidents of sexual assault or harassment. Under the Biden administration, however, students and faculty could be reported for mere speech. By coercing and compelling speech, this administration will set legal precedent ablaze and steamroll arguably our nation’s most foundational principle.
Henceforth my pronouns shall be Supreme Leader, Sovereign, and Protector of the Realm.
So they want more Jordon Petersons?
Doesn’t sound very constitutional but maybe there will just be a penaltax for mispronouning someone.
Doesn’t sound very constitutional – give it 10 years
No mention that Title IX speaks to discrimination on the basis of sex, and says nothing about identified genders?

Oh yeah, I felt incredibly warm last week. As did most people. F*ck those hoes. I froze my ass of at a damn beach. Warm this. o^o.
We’re having a top 10 snowiest winter this year. I fully support those assholes who are cutting off catalytic converters. We need to warm this puppy up!
Someone messed up and sent all our snow to California this year.
Where it melted and ran into the ocean. Too bad Cali didn’t think about building any retainment ponds or reservoirs to capture that water. Oh, wait, they did approve building new reservoirs in 2014 but nothing has been done since.
High speed Choo-choos are sexier than water.
That’s so unfair, I mean only 65% of Californians voted for it, and anyway, that stuff takes about 6 years to build so it wouldn’t have fixed anything right away.
Where my democracy?
Well there would have been evidence, except known climate skeptic Greta deleted the proof.

My husband and I watched Nightmare Alley last night (remake, not the original) and I must say it was quite good. It was a noir film, a little light on the psychothriller part, but still good.
It’s been on my list. I need to block out some time to watch it. Finally got the girlfriend to sit down and finish Reacher season 1 yesterday. Once she got into it I wasn’t allowed to stop it this time (I think it was episode 4/5 that got her truly hooked).
I enjoyed it. But then again, I seem to have very similar tastes to the director, Guillermo Del Toro, as I have enjoyed most of the films he has made.
Only one that he’s made that I didn’t really care for (that I’ve seen) was The Shape of Water. I still need to watch his stop action Pinocchio movie as well.
I didn’t love the story of The Shape of Water, but I loved the visuals. I have not watched the Pinocchio.

I got 3. Paper checks were not a thing in Romania, not was AOL email. I do not think I ever had myspace
two
MySpace and AOL
Those were my two points as well. And not because I wasn’t around, but I had the good sense to miss both of those (CompuServe for the win).
CompuServe, now those were the good old days.
I feel like it’s missing having an ICQ account.
ICQ 21211618.
HMU yo
Ditto.
One. Myspace. Pretty sure I had an AOL account at some point — and my DSL was tied to yahoo at one point (some unholy AT&T merge) which owned AOL at that point (still?) and gave a default email I never used.
Same 2 for me.
I got 2. No MySpace or AOL.
2, no MySpace, no AOL
3
3
Would have had 1 but I just created a myspace account so I could be perfect.
I laughed… I’d even say you were First out of the gate on that.
I got one, no AOL email.
My family had some sort of off-brand encyclopedia when I was a kid, I think. If that counts, then I have… zero points. 😕
did you people actually use paper checks?
Yes
I still use them a few times per year.
I still use cowry shells.
Yap coins.
Still do from time to time.
I have a checkbook around here somewhere. More often used to provide a voided check to initiate ACH transactions than to actually pay for something. I and my kids receive paper checks on a regular basis from parents/grandparents on birthdays and holidays.
Tres Sr. still hands paper checks out, but with mobile depositing from a phone it takes the hassle out of a trip to a bank.
Yes
Every month. Landlord requires it.
Yes. I still have to pay my rent via check.
Same 2, no aol or myspace. Done at least 6 of those things in the last year.
Four in the last year – check, dictionary, map, CD
was the dictionary properly updated with the new meanings of words?
2, maybe 3 depending on the definition of boombox. I didn’t have a portable boombox because I had a Walkman.
Never had MySpace (too young), never had an AOL email (yahoo was my go-to).
3 – Walkman, MySpace, AOL
0 points.
How the heck did you pay for stuff like rent or utilities in the old days?
Skimming by the supe is easier with cash payments.
I actually had to pay in cash from ’97 to ’05. Worst house and landlord I’ve ever had. But we were poor and desperate so didn’t have much choice.
Cash. Some paper checks were used business to business for large expenses, outside the business world it was cash, until cards came about.
Rent was always cash so no taxes would be paid.
In the 90s the utility hired people to go house to house to get the money, and they were often targets for robbery as they had lots of cash.
Romanian politicians that got rich of corruption were notorious for being robbed when going abroad cause they carried like 10k US dollars in cash in a small bag with them.
Good lord. Yeah, I’m not comfortable handing cash over to some randos showing up at my door all the time.
If you missed the utility guy – not at home – you had to go to the headquarters and wait a few hours in line to pay. Still cash.
It was a great thing when they made a system with the post office and you could pay the utility bulls at the nearest post office. Still cash.
$2
Rat wants his $2
I have never used a fax machine, but I have handed papers to other people who then sent them through. Does that count or not? Or owned a dictionary or encyclopedia? My parents had both in our house, and I have both in my house now, but the books came with the house I don’t legally own the house…I live in a world of gray space
Not too long ago I faxed some medical stuff from my VA doc to my “real” doc, since I guess they still consider email not secure enough.
But I used some intertoobs free faxing thing. Not sure if that counts. I have a couple of multi-function doodads here that print/scan/fax but I dont know if the house VOIP line would deal with such.
0.
This means I’m more experienced, wiser, and more likely to be correct than you limited people.
I got 1
Never had AOL
Never sent a postcard or had an AOL address.
2. Never had a MySpace account or an AOL email addy. I did have a Yahoo addy for a long time that I kept as a garbage catcher/emergency address.
1, never had an AOL email.
1. Never had MySpace.
All due respect
Twitter’s communications team has been effectively silent since November, when it was reportedly decimated in the layoffs that CEO Elon Musk implemented after buying the company.
That means it hasn’t responded to journalists’ questions about any of the developments that have happened since — from the layoffs and mass resignations themselves to major changes to the user experience to a series of controversies involving Musk and his announcement that he will eventually step down.
Now the press email address is active again, at least to some extent.
Going forward it will automatically reply to journalist’s inquiries with a single poop emoji, Musk announced — via tweet, of course — on Sunday.
Splendid.
That is excellent.

No way that’s right. Way too low.

I’ll be on my meds till I die, and maybe even after that.
If I were slaving away out in a garden just to have food to eat for the day or the winter, I probably would just have to tough it out the way women have been doing for millennia. Survival gives you no time to (I won’t say “indulge”) dwell on what’s wrong with you. You just know it’s harder for you than for the lady next door, and you can’t figure out why, and you’re too busy hauling water to dig a well.
I’ve been in this position, although it wasn’t tending a garden and canning food. You gotta make your rent, make your bills, so you gotta do what you gotta do. For years I have never had just one job, and I don’t know what I’d do with myself now if I had just one job. And they were always wildly disparate. For most of this time, I was battling a very inconvenient health issue that intruded significantly upon my life. Anyhoo, I’m not sure how I got through all that without meds, without knowing I needed meds, and with having doctors who didn’t give a shit about my health issue because I was very obviously poor/broke.

Musk, who bought Twitter for $44 billion in October, describes himself as a “free speech absolutist” and framed the takeover in terms of protecting expression.
But many of his moves in that direction — from weakening its content moderation practices to reinstating accounts that had been suspended for rule violations — have fueled safety and misinformation concerns.
Musk’s stated commitment to free speech has also been called into question by his treatment of journalists.
Journalisming = legitimate speech.
Conspiratorial dogwhistling = hateful lies
When the Constitution was written they didn’t expect people to use free speech to say bad stuff.
This is a CLASSIC NPR construction.

“White ppl not seasoning their food actually rly is based in racism & classism lol.
The reason white ppl don’t season food is bc historically, rich white ppl began to think seasoning was for brown ppl who had to season their food bc they couldn’t afford better tasting meat. They also associated unseasoned food w cleanliness & moral purity, calling it “clean” or “simple” eating. In medieval Europe the rich felt that once spices became affordable for everyone instead of just the wealthy, they no longer wanted them.
So basically white ppl don’t season their food bc their ancestors thought seasoning was for poor ppl & brown ppl. Lol”

Let her who is without sin cast the first stone
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., slammed Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell in an interview Sunday on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” saying he “has failed” and shouldn’t be in his role.
“He has had two jobs. One is to deal with monetary policy. One is to deal with regulation. He has failed at both,” she said.
“Look, I don’t think he should be chairman of the Federal Reserve. I have said it as publicly as I know how to say it. I’ve said it to everyone,” said Warren, who is on the Senate Banking Committee.
——-
Warren, who has been pressing for stricter banking regulations, said Powell “took a flamethrower to the regulations” when Trump was in office, adding that Trump gave Congress the “authority to lighten the regulations even more.”
“And then the CEOs of the banks did exactly what we expected. They loaded up on risk that boosted their short-term profits. They gave themselves huge bonuses and salaries and exploded their banks,” Warren said.
——-
Warren urged Powell to recuse himself from an internal probe into SVB last week, saying his actions “directly contributed to these bank failures.”
“I’ve opposed him because of his views on regulation,” Warren said Sunday on “Meet the Press,” “and what he was already doing to weaken regulation.”
Wanton government spending played no role, nor did zero interest rate policy.
It were all that wild west unregulated banking what dunnit.
