After Trump emerges victorious from the primary season, and is subsequently tried and convicted of something, what happens at that point? Do the Democrats really want to convict the guy or is this entire lawfare exercise being conducted to ensure he's the nominee by making him a martyr of sorts? If that's their game plan, what's the endgame?
Seems a bit early for him to quit.
Here's hoping that the yuuge loser of 2018, 2020, and 2022, the guy who lost the GOP the Senate, the Fauci/Birx fanboy, the Biden enabler, will stay out of prison and get it together enough to stage a solid campaign. He owes us a wall, at the very least.
Exit timed to do maximum damage to Hayley. Sweet.
DeSantis 2028!
I keep forgetting to acknowledge the new subtitle. Nice.
Got above freezing here for the first time in about a week; we still have low water pressure and need to boil it for consumption. (That's a bad cough you have--consumption be done about it? Hardehar. I'll be here until I spot the process-server.)
DeSantis dropped out of the race? That can't be right. He had his ticket punched in Iowa.
All the diminutive nicknames for Republicans should be retired. At this point, no good can come of antagonizing the other candidates’ supporters.
I’d rather enjoy the Detroit Lions and their fans than think about Donald Trump. Truth be told, I could end up voting for him again. In a primary and in a general election. I doesn’t make me happy. DeSantis has been a disappointment. Our country is broken.
Best line yet on the Big Fani saga:
“It appears to be the accuser has more legal issues than the accused,” longtime Georgia state lawmaker Vernon Jones, a Democrat, told The Post about Willis. “It ain’t no fun when the rabbit got the gun." (NY Post)
Elsewhere on the intertubes, I was told by someone that in 1974, one could raise a family of four (including a non-working stay-at-home partner) on minimum wage.
MW in 1974 = $2.00/hr., a 40 hr. work week grosses $80, after taxes more like $55. House, clothe and feed a family of four on $220/month? It is astounding that anyone could actually believe that sort of nonsense.
In that very year, I was looking to move out of my parent's home. At the time, I was earning 2 1/2x MW and a one bedroom apartment was just barely within my reach. There's no way I could have supported FIVE more people.
It's hard to be optimistic about the future when da yoots lack so much understanding of the past.
I hope you Biden supporters are enjoying living on the brink of WW3; it was your boy who led us here.
DeSantis: Middle aged. Kid from a working-class family who got into the Ivy League on his own merit. Still married to the only wife he has ever had and apparently completely faithful. Volunteered for the Navy and served a tour of duty in Iraq. Served in the House of Representatives before narrowly winning election as governor of Florida. As governor, increased Republican majorities in the state legislature. Effectively implemented a conservative legislative and executive agenda. Presided over balanced budgets. One of the first governors to reopen the public sector and to remove restrictions on private sector activity during COVID. Accelerated Florida’s status a magnet for economic growth. Won re-election by a large margin.
Trump: Old. Rich kid who got into the Ivy League because of his father’s wealth. Dodged the military draft with a phony claim of bone spurs; called avoiding diseases from engaging in extramarital sex his “personal Vietnam.” Married three times; cheated on all three wives. No political experience before narrowly winning election as president. Saw control of Congress swing from Republicans to Democrats during his presidency. Despite some important successes, failed to articulate and implement a coherent policy agenda. Notoriously poor manager as president. Oversaw big budget deficits and rising federal debt. Unwisely followed advisers advocating locking down the country during COVID. First president since Herbert Hoover to leave the U.S. economy with fewer jobs at the end of his term than at the start. So widely disliked that he lost re-election to an opponent who mostly stayed at home during the campaign.
Republican voters: Give us Trump!
I was going to post at half time "Take me now Lord!" because Josh Allen was playing so great, and everything was going so well. Now Josh Allen is out with a neck injury. Son of a freekin beotch.
False alarm! Why did they say that?
"I care as much about every frame as [Christopher Nolan] does, but I would sacrifice in a heartbeat all of the work that I put into the way the thing looks: every decision of every pillow, every flower, every move of the camera, my lighting, my sound ….. I would sacrifice it all for you to see the film, not get those aesthetic virtues, and hear what I'm trying to say rather than looking at the way that I'm saying it." - Ava DuVernay in the New Yorker.
That explains a lot.
To steal a line from Futurama, "Good news everyone!" I am checking out of social media for a month, well, until mid Feb, anyway. Last break I took, I finished the third draft of the first act of my novel. So here goes the third draft of the second act.
Hoping for a Bills v. Lions in Superbowl.
Com'n Bills -scalp the Chiefs!
I am disappointed to see that Peyton Manning is hawking Bud Light in TV commercials now.
I'm tired of Trump's childish nicknames. Spend some time criticizing Democrats, why don't you?
It is foolish to support Trump politically; he will turn on you in the end.
Out: Ron DeSantis
In: Detroit Lions
gspencer: If it happens, it is a sure sign of the End of Times.

Fascinating (if true) story via TwitterX: Doctors at a hospital in Texas informed George Pickering that his son was in a state of brain death. They explained that his son showed "no brain activity" and the decision had been made to remove life support.
Pickering, however, was unconvinced by their assessment and resorted to extreme measures by drawing a firearm. He demanded that the doctors continue their efforts to save his son's life, threatening to use the gun if they refused.
This situation escalated into a tense standoff lasting three hours, during which Pickering faced off against the police while the medical team performed additional tests on his son.
The hospital was secured under lockdown as police negotiators tried to reason with Pickering, who remained adamant. In a pivotal moment, Pickering's son, previously declared braindead, responded to his father's request to squeeze his hand, indicating cognitive presence. Following this revelation, Pickering peacefully surrendered to the authorities.
George Pickering II subsequently served a prison sentence of 11 months. Remarkably, his son experienced a complete recovery.
Elsewhere on the intertubes, I was told by someone that in 1974, one could raise a family of four (including a non-working stay-at-home partner) on minimum wage.
It is foolish to say that a family of 4 could live on minimum wage. It is a useless comparison as almost no one who would make minimum wage would have a family of four. Most of the time, by the time you are old enough to have 2 kids, you probably have risen up a rung or two on the ladder. An interesting comparison is that at Yale the total cost of attendance in 1974 was $5,000, which you could cover with a $2.50 an hour job. Median income was $5.50 an hour, so you didn't have to be rich, just a little industrious to go to Yale. The "they" say that at $5.50 an hour job would be comfortably middle class for a family.
Republican voters: Give us Trump!
Republican voters vote for the person who they think will best advance the agenda they like. They are sort of weird that way, not choosing someone based on demographic qualities and stuff.
The only interesting question remaining is who Trump will name as his VP. Tim Scott? Elise Stefanik? J.D. Vance? I woke up suddenly last night, with the thought that it could even be...RFK Jr.!

BREAKING: Ron DeSantis Suspends Presidential Campaign, Makes Endorsement
"It’s clear to me that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance. They watched his presidency get stymied by relentless resistance and they see Democrats using lawfare to this day to attack him. While I have had disagreements with Donald Trump, such as on the coronavirus pandemic and his elevation of Anthony Fauci, Trump is superior to the current incumbent, Joe Biden. That is clear. I signed a pledge to support the Republican nominee and I will honor that pledge."

There is hope. You gotta have hope to be a Trump supporter.
After Trump emerges victorious from the primary season, and is subsequently tried and convicted of something, what happens at that point? Do the Democrats really want to convict the guy or is this entire lawfare exercise being conducted to ensure he's the nominee by making him a martyr of sorts? If that's their game plan, what's the endgame?
After he's convicted I expect them to try more lawfare to keep him off the ballot, including Secretaries of State simply announcing that they won't put him on it. I don't think that this is 3-D chess by the Dems; they simply promised their base for years that they'd get Trump for something, and now they have to deliver.

Huge if true: HACKING ELECTION VOTES EASIER THAN YOU THINK
"Atlanta, Georgia, computer science and engineering professor J. Alex Halderman was able to hack a Dominion voting tabulator in front of U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg using only a pen to change the vote totals this week.
Professor J. Alex Halderman has made a career studying electronic voting security. His research has changed the concept of stolen elections from theory to reality.
“I know America’s voting machines are vulnerable,” J. Alex Halderman firmly stated, pausing to lift his head from the page he read to look up at a phalanx of U.S. senators, “because my colleagues and I have hacked them—repeatedly—as part of a decade of research studying the technology that operates elections and learning how to make it stronger.”"
Democrats are so far gone it takes a stroke to snap out of it.
The two state solution
The only solution to the Palestinian problem is the two state solution in which the Palestinians accept Israel's right to exist. Could that happen? Germany is standing strongly by Israel at the Hague and elsewhere. Who would have thought that possible 90 years ago. But it's happening.
Hamas does not accept Israel's right to exist so it could not be a partner in a two state solution. They chant "from the river to the sea" meaning they do not support a two state solution. And the PA is internally dominated by Hamas in that 70 to 80 per cent of its members would prefer Hamas. So there are no major partners on the Palestinian side who believe in a two state solution at present. It could only be a one state and a sham state solution. But still, honoring Germany's change, it's possible to support a two state solution as the end point to aim at.
Gaza, for instance, could start to develop an economy, a basic state element, rather than living off aid money which is mostly poured into a system of underground hideouts, like a kingdom of worms.
And Gaza should start to do this because the attack on Israel on October 7 violated so many Islamic rules on warfare that "October 7" will become a curse unless it comes to signal time for a change. You cannot attack women, children, old people and surrendered soldiers in warfare under Islamic law but all this was done on October 7 and Hamas intends to do the same again, again in the name of Islam. Behaving in a manner so far removed from one's religious law while invoking the sanction of that same religion twists the conscience and never has a good outcome. That's universal.

"If it said it in the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times, then that was a fact. Nowadays, people can go to all sorts of different sources for the news, and they're much more questioning about what we're saying."
That's what happens when people find out that you report lies as the truth.
The one thing that the Obama years showed us is that white people can have anything they want. When white people demand a nice well spoken half black president to entertain and emotionally validate them, that’s what they get.
It will be interesting when Michelle runs in the late summer, she is edgier and more confrontational. White people may want a Republican period to tone down the wars and build the economy a bit before they go back to a feel good president.
There are two ways to stop a war, accept defeat, or win. According to an old movie, the only way to win is to not play, but historically being very strong is the only way to avoid playing.

They don't care. It won't be their sons and daughters getting killed or injured.
There has been talk about the concern, among Democrats, that, if elected President, Donald Trump might seek "revenge". A fundamental rule of politics, is to reward your friends, and punish your enemies, that you might come to have more of the former, and fewer of the latter. This can take mild forms, such as favoring your allies for lucrative contracts, or rather more aggressive forms, like throwing your opponents from helicopters. You might say, it's a spectrum.
So what can the Democrats expect after Trump's coming re-election? Well. It is satisfying to attack your enemies, and destroy them. But in doing so, all too often, you make new enemies of their children. And helicopters use a lot of fuel. My hope is that the second Trump administration will take an Eradicationist approach to Democrats; increased public funding for contraception and abortion, and for the sexual mutilation of their children. As well as for aggressive promotion of homosexuality in the public schools. Let's get serious. Let's wipe the fucking Democrats right off the face of the planet. America for Americans!
People like Kurt Schuler (7:09pm) who accuse Trump of dodging the draft "with a phony claim of bone spurs" should know that:
1. Bone spurs are a real thing that shows up clearly on x-rays. We know that Trump's father dragged him around New York learning the business, so foot problems are very plausible, as well as easily checked and therefore not a good excuse to offer the draft doctors.
2. Asthma, on the other hand, is very difficult to disprove. Joe Biden had as many deferments as Trump, because of his asthma (or "asthma"), though he had played multiple sports in high school and has had no known problems with his breath before or after the period of his Vietnam War eligibility.
3. Ergo, anyone who accuses Trump of dodging the draft without adding "just like his opponent Biden" is a liar or a fool or some mixture of the two.

I’ve always been skeptical of the Einstein “quote” about the definition of insanity.
Turns out I was right.
“5. “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”
There is no evidence Einstein ever said this. The likely origin of this quote is from the Basic Texts of Narcotics Anonymous, which is the first known source of this quote. The Basic Texts were first drafted to members in 1981 and published in 1983.“
I hear by propose that we ban the use of this fake Einstein quote here at Althouse forever.

I thought I saw a Sunday night open thread. Not a pussy cat. Karma is a cat. Or says quote extrordinare Taylor Swift.
Seeing is believing. So seeing what we want to see is in a way a survival strategery. Ask Steve Wonder and Ray Charles.
But as it is written:
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
I’m tempted to change the big G for the big T in that quote. But I won’t because I don’t see how anybody here could possibly rejoice in that kind of blaspheme.
I may be a Trump supporter but I’m not crazy 😜
Oh. The cafe is back. Now I don’t know what I’m seeing.

@Kurt Schuler wrote: Trump...So widely disliked that he lost re-election to an opponent who mostly stayed at home during the campaign.
Your negative characterizations of Trump are not untrue. Trump is/was deeply flawed in many ways. The sad reality is that Biden is dramatically WORSE than Trump in every way. In misreading Trump's populist appeal, the Democratic Party came to foolish conclusions (per abject humiliation by Trump), and they responded to Trump with broadly incoherent failures.
Never in living memory has the USA had such an obvious weak puppet in power. Biden's mush brain can do nothing without his regent handlers, and his business team will do nothing without his palm being greased by donors who then feel entitled to pull his strings. And he doesn't even hide it. He's a direct copy of a late Roman emperor installed by and controlled by the (FBI/CIA) Praetorian Guard.
Enjoying your DEI-managed BLM-peaceful immigrant-bankrupt Sanctuary Cities much? As dollars are squandered by insane COVID policies that destroyed education, by fighting an unwinnable war against Russia, and as China eats the USA economically and technologically from inside out?

"Elsewhere on the intertubes, I was told by someone that in 1974, one could raise a family of four (including a non-working stay-at-home partner) on minimum wage.
MW in 1974 = $2.00/hr., a 40 hr. work week grosses $80, after taxes more like $55. House, clothe and feed a family of four on $220/month? It is astounding that anyone could actually believe that sort of nonsense."
Which proves that the minimum wage has been too low for decades, if not always. It's purpose was to provide the minimum income necessary to allow one to pay for "basic necessities." It may be debated as to what "basic necessities" encompasses, but food and shelter would seem to be the most basic of basic necessities.
The median income of all families in the United States was $12,840 in 1974, according to results of the Current Population Survey (CPS) which was conducted in March 1975 by the Bureau of the Census.
Without any mechanisms in place to automatically adjust it for rising prices, the real value of the federal minimum wage has gradually declined, reaching a 66-year low in 2023, where it is now worth 42% less than its highest point in 1968. Moreover, the federal minimum wage is worth 30% less today than when it was last raised 14 years ago. This significant loss in purchasing power means that the federal minimum wage today is nowhere close to a living wage.

"I thought I saw a Sunday night open thread...."
Yeah, I mistakenly thought I was looking at an empty window and wrote a new post where I already had this post.
This is a very annoying mistake, which I've done a few times over the years and try quite hard to avoid making again. I thought I was being careful, but apparently, not careful enough.
Anyway, I moved the new material and reconstructed this old one.
Meanwhile, in Oakland CA:
After 76 years, In-N-Out announces...
"There was a time not too long ago when people who wanted to play a practical joke in a decent-size city in the eastern United States could follow this playbook:
Find a vacant storefront.
Print a professional-looking sign that reads something like: "In-N-Out Burger Is Coming Soon!" and hang it in the window.
Count the expat Californians who walked by, taking photos, posting to social media, and wistfully wondering whether it could possibly be true.
Fortunately, we're all a bit wiser and more experienced than we were a few years ago, and people are less likely to fall for this now.
But it does reflect that the opening of an In-N-Out, the California-based cult favorite burger restaurant, is an event, and people running other businesses would love to duplicate it.
Heck, when the family-owned company opened its first two restaurants in Colorado a few years ago, the lines to check it out stretched for miles, and the local sheriff begged people to stay away.
But now, In-N-Out is making headlines for the opposite reason: It's closing one of its beloved and highly profitable restaurants -- and for a heartbreaking reason. Here's Denny Warnick, the chief operating officer at In-N-Out:
---------------------------------
We have made the decision to close our In-N-Out Burger location in Oakland, California, due to ongoing issues with crime.
Despite taking repeated steps to create safer conditions, our Customers and Associates are regularly victimized by car break-ins, property damage, theft, and armed robberies.
---------------------------------
The location will close as of March 24, Warnick said.
This is a sad thing to think about, especially the explanation. In-N-Out launched in 1948, and at least one outlet, The National Review, reports that the company has never permanently closed a restaurant before in its entire history.
I reached out to In-N-Out late Sunday to confirm that, and I'll update when I hear back. It's a rarity at the least, and possibly unprecedented.
The restaurant that is set to close is the only one in Oakland, and it's close to the Oakland International Airport. I'm pretty certain I've been there, as I'm one of those California expats I mentioned above who tends to stop by for a burger when I can if I'm flying in and out of the state.
Also, I'm not in a position to comment first-hand on the scale of crime at this specific location, but earlier this month, The San Francisco Standard wrote that security guards near the In-N-Out reported seeing multiple car break-ins at the location daily.
Across Oakland, other media report that between 2022 and 2023 across the entire city, the number of robberies in Oakland rose 38 percent, and burglaries rose 23 percent.
Spend a few minutes searching and you can easily find some distressing social media reports of crime in progress."

"The minimum necessary to pay for basic necessities? Why so stingy? Don't people deserve better? Let's raise the minimum wage to $1000/hr. Then everyone will have plenty of money. Right?
"Even you can see the flaw in this plan. Right?"
What plan? Raising the minimum wage to $1,000/hr? Who has suggested such a thing, other than you, being snarky? "Minimum wage" is defined in its name: it is the minimum wage necessary to provide sufficient income for a person working full time to meet the minimum costs of feeding themselves and paying for shelter. There is no suggestion in that definition that a minimum wage must provide lavish wages sufficient to allow the working person to buy lavish homes and cars or to eat at expensive restaurants.
If we are going to have a legal minimum wage--and we do--it should guarantee that a person working full time (35-40 hours per week) will be paid enough that he or she can afford to feed and shelter themselves, however modestly. Minimum wage was not created simply to set a wage scale for teenagers working 5-10 hours a week after school, as many seem to think. However, given that we have let the minimum wage remain frozen for years, dramatically diminishing its purchasing power, that is essentially that is what it has become.
Do you see no problem in people working full time (at menial or unskilled jobs, granted) who cannot, still, feed themselves and find stable shelter? The Walton family is one well-known example of employers reaping billions in profit while their paid employees often must also seek public assistance, (and are encouraged to do so by Walmart management, which means Walmart's profits are partly being generated by the taxpayers, who offset Walmart's costs of doing business).
As has always been true, the rich get richer and the poor eat shit.
