Pretty rational, gets into the prosecution's Bill of Attainder problem early on.

Molly Hemingway's article in the Federalist today offers some additional points:

Chuck Schumer Used Violent Rhetoric To Sic A Mob On Two Supreme Court Justices

One year ago, Schumer incited a mob on the steps of the Supreme Court in order to bully justices to rule in Democrats' favor.

"...Schumer’s threats came just 17 months after the Supreme Court had been besieged and attacked by abortion activists upset at Kavanaugh’s confirmation. Like the Jan. 6 event, the October 2018 siege also involved Vice President Mike Pence being condemned by protesters. As he walked down the steps of the U.S. Senate following the vote to confirm Kavanaugh, the crowd greeted him with chants of “shame!”

Across the street, hordes of protesters broke through a police barricade and attempted to beat down the 13-ton bronze doors of the court. Protesters included a topless woman with a Hitler mustache and another woman who scaled the Contemplation of Justice statue in front of the court and sat in her lap to the cheers of other protesters.

Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan, who attended Kavanaugh’s immediate swearing in, were hit with water bottles and tomatoes when their car left the court afterward. Some 164 people were arrested in that protest.'

Darkisland said...: "Who is Donald Trump?"

Oops! I mean "Who is John Galt?"

I've read Atlas Shrugged probably 20 times since I first read it by accident in 1969, thinking it was a science Fiction novel. I used it as a text in a B-school class I taught 5-6 times in the 80s and 90s. I always found it both scary, because I could see a lot of the book happening around me. And hopeful because it offered some solutions.

Making a movie out of the book had always seemed to be an impossible task but someone did about 10 years ago. Not just 1 movie, but 3 movies. Sort of like taking the concept of a mini-series and standing it on its head. Each movie has a completely different cast which can be somewhat disconcerting. Sets are different and, in general, continuity between the 3 movies is like it was done by Jen Psaki or someone equally dizzy.

On the other hand, the movie(s) are more faithful to the spirit and ideas of the novel than pretty much any other movie I have ever seen based on a novel I love. (Sometimes a Great Notion is another) It leaves out a lot, of course.

I saw it on Netflix when it came out 10 years ago and liked it then. Then when I posted Hank Reardon's non-defense at trial sunday in an Impreachment thread, I knew I needed to watch again. Speech here, for those who missed it. https://youtu.be/_iHRJ4s9EtY I like to imagine President Trump watching it in his impeachment prep work. But then, I'm a dreamer (but I'm not the only one).

I just finished watching the AS3, having watched 1&2 on previous nights. Way better than I remembered.

And I had forgotten that Ron Paul was in the movie. A bit part but there are bit parts and there are bt parts. Alec Baldwin won an oscar for a Bit part in Glengarry. Paul should have gotten one too for this. Unfortunately, not on YouTube.

Watch it on Prime.

Michael K said...: It is such a shame that the nuts and trolls dominate comments here and there is no room for topics like this.

Two environmental-education courses with national reach—the College Board’s Advanced Placement Environmental Science and the International Baccalaureate’s Environmental Systems and Society—exhibit the usual biases and add some new ones. IB dethrones the scientific method as a prime source of knowledge and replaces it with “eight ways of knowing.” Along with sense perception and reason, these include faith, emotion, imagination, intuition, language, and memory. Students are expected to use inductive and deductive reasoning and to appreciate the importance of evidence, but they must also “use other methods traditionally associated with the human sciences” such as “history, the arts, ethics, religious knowledge systems and indigenous knowledge systems.”

Darkisland said...: I signed up for Mastodon perhaps 4 years ago. It is sort of like a United States of Twitter. Lots of separate "federated" nodes such as noagendasocial.com each is it's own social network like Twitter with its own rules, focus and membership. It is federated so that each node can talk to any other node. Format is much like Twitter.

I was interested in the concept when the No Agenda boys started talking about it so signed up. Fooled with it a bit, as I had done with Twitter and would later do with Gab and Parler. Never did much with any of them.

When Thomas Wictor got booted from Twitter, I followed him to Gab, then back to social.quodverum.com then to Twitter. Then when he got booted from Twitter again, I lost track of him.

Dr Weevil mentioned he is back on QV so I dusted off my password and yup, there he is. Feisty and interesting (and a bit weird) as ever. Weird is good.

I am @johnhenry on Mastodon. Or at least on NoAgenda and QV. Not sure how it works with other nodes.

One of the things that intrigued me about Mastodon was that each node is individual. So QV does not reside on anyone else's servers. They reside on Saul's servers. emails of all QV followers reside on his servers. The only one that can shut QV down is him.

Thinking about it today, it seems like it might be an alternative to Facebook. Set up your own node, invite friends and family to chat, share pictures and videos and so on. I don't know what it would cost to set up a node but probably less than $100 per year. Split that among 20 people in a family and it's $5, if that.

I'm going to see about setting up a node myself when I get back home.

Hubby and I actually went to the theater (something we have rarely done in last 20 0r so years) to watch the movie(s). I'm afraid we gave up after the 2nd one - Dagny's "scream" after one of her cohorts disappeared was simply too awful.

320Busdriver said...: Per Dan O’Donnell show and Wisconsin election commission report on the 2020 election.

In Oct 2019 WEC refused to remove flagged voters who did not respond within 30 days to say that they were still voters at that address. They wanted to wait/ delay for 12-24 months to comply with state law.

This number of flagged voter/addresses was 230,000. WEC was sued and circuit judge found in plaintiffs favor and then began to levy fines for the WEC members who still refused to remove these records. Court of Appeals(kloppenburg et al) steps in and stays the lower courts order.

Per the WEC report: of the 230,000 flagged records, 70,471 voted in Nov 2020. Of that group....19,086 were from voters that did not respond to the notification and were therefore votes that would have been removed from the rolls.

And they say the election was legitimate...hahahaha; 2/3/21, 10:07 PM

wildswan said...: Haven't heard a word from my provider about possible vaccinations. About half the people vaccinated so far are under 65, an age group that's very low risk. But those people don't realize that. They're afraid; they're grabbing at chances to get vaccinated. The problem is that this means the death rate won't drop as fast as it would if the group (65-80+) in which deaths are concentrated was getting vaccinated so the blue state lockdowns will continue, so the socio-economic damage will continue.
Yet listening to 'burb burble I realize that maybe if the suburbs jump the line and get vaccinated, they'll lose their fear and then force Evers to open the state even though the covid situation might be the same as it was when the suburbs were insisting the state had to close. It's all being handled in an irrational way, anyhow.
500,000 have been vaccinated and 500,000 have had covid so 1 in 5 in Wisconsin are immune. But still everyone has to wear a mask. Irrational.; 2/3/21, 10:28 PM

I love the book and I've tried a number of times but I always get 5-10 pages into it, my head starts to hurt and I skip the rest. The one time I did read it, I really had to force myself.

The movie condensed it into about 4 minutes and did a very good job too.

If they did the whole speech, they'd need an Atlas Shrugged 4.

The speech is 80-90 pages in the book.

I have. My health care provider sent out texts about two weeks ago saying that the vaccine is now available to those over age 65 and they will contact you when they get the order to “invite” you to get the vaccine, then you set up a time and date. I called the provider hotline number and they said that they invite their over age 65 patients to get the vaccine based on their supply from week to week. Also in Wisconsin, Walgreens is taking registrations to get the vaccine and when you try to register for an appointment, it seems that the site is overloaded and you get the circles of death, waiting, waiting, waiting.; 2/3/21, 10:49 PM

William said...: At the recommendation of some here, I saw The Dig on Netflix. It's a pretty good period drama about an archeological dig in England just before the onset of WWII. The period details are spot on. It shows what the English called dinner back then. Overcooked vegetables and something that looks like boiled fish. I wouldn't put it past them to think about boiling fish.....There's a controversy about the film. Carey Mulligan who's only in her thirties plays Edith Pretty, the sponsor of the dig, who was actually in her fifties. Younger women, according to the new rules, should not be playing older women....Well and good. I don't think Helen Mirren and Olivia Colman lack for parts, but they perhaps get sick of playing queens....In the movie, Carey walked with a cane and looked sick, but that's like playing Othello in blackface. Only older women should play older women....On the plus side, Lily James, who's months past her thirtieth birthday played a woman in her mid twenties. I suppose it's okay for a younger woman to play older parts. Lily James despite being thirty could easily pass for a young woman. With proper exercise and nutrition, a naturally beautiful woman can remain attractive and youthful well into her late twenties and early thirties....Lily James is not blessed with the soft, luxuriant eyebrows of Lily Collins but they're reasonably thick and quite attractive.; 2/3/21, 10:55 PM
