Dixcus said...: Let's see.

Turns out Doug Emhoff isn't just a babysitter impregnator and pregnancy terminator. He's also a chick beater.

RFK Jr. now has all his extra-marital activities on prime display such that his wife is now contemplating divorce since she's been made out to be the village idiot.

Donald Trump's wife has come out for abortion (the only issue that Democrats used to have). Now Republicans can campaign on that.

That should about wrap up the October surprises, no?

Guess they're just gonna have to murder him.; 10/2/24, 6:58 PM

Inga said...: “Make them riot. Do it” Trump campaign staffer, during 2020 vote count.

“The filing said that when the co-conspirator was told that a batch of votes appeared to be heavily in favor of Biden, he replied, ”find a reason it isn’t,” so as to “give me options to file litigation,” adding, “even if it [is].”

When a colleague suggested to the co-conspirator that this could risk creating a scene reminiscent of the so-called “Brooks Brothers Riot” — an infamous bid to interfere with Florida’s vote-counting effort in the 2000 presidential election — the co-conspirator “responded, ‘Make them riot’ and ‘Do it!!!,’” according to the filing.”

No wonder Trump is desperate to keep this stuff suppressed.; 10/2/24, 7:26 PM

Oh, it’s DeSantis, the uncharismatic, boring guy who’s too short to be president. He also happens to be the one who knows how to lead, organize, plan and stage for an emergency. Anyone who has had the opportunity to observe him during and after a hurricane has seen real leadership and competence in a dire situation. The doubting fools who frequent this website who slandered him owe the folks in GA, SC, NC and TN an apology. What utter effin fools!!; 10/2/24, 7:39 PM

"California's recent ban on election-related "misinformation," including political parody, is unconstitutional, a federal court has just ruled. Free speech, not censorship, is the solution to bad info. Wonderful repudiation of totalitarians @GavinNewsom @KamalaHarris & @Tim_Walz"; 10/2/24, 7:43 PM

Eva Marie said...: Is it my imagination or are there more August, September, and October surprises than normal. They seem to be coming from both sides of the aisle.
Rather than an election, are we witnessing a power struggle within our permanent bureaucracy? Is it a fight between the old guard and the younger crowd? I’m going to guess the old guard is Clintons, Bidens, Google, the Soviet/Iranian experts, teachers union. Trump is the change agent with support from the anti EU contingent. The new guard is Vance, Thiel, maybe the Arab experts. There has to be more to the new guard - factions in the FBI, CIA.; 10/2/24, 8:13 PM

When everything is upside down, bad reviews are the best kind.
I figure all the superlatives means it must be something nobody has seen, and therefore it's treated like an anathema, heresy.

Maybe we have been inured to the same movies for so long, we may have forgot what is like to see something new.; 10/2/24, 8:50 PM

As Althouse will advise you Sparky, an out of court statement made by a party is an admission-its an exception to the hearsay rule, and its admissible.

These are the kinds of post we have to deal with from graduates of Trump University Law school.; 10/2/24, 8:56 PM
The rule of Lemnity said...: Via X: "NEW: In a new, heavily redacted DHS Inspector General report, the IG finds that “CBP, ICE, and TSA did not fully assess risks associated w/ releasing noncitizens without ID into the U.S. and allowing them to travel on domestic flights.”

Key finding: “Under current processes, CBP and ICE cannot ensure they are keeping high-risk noncitizens without identification from entering the country. Additionally, TSA cannot ensure its vetting and screening procedures prevent high-risk noncitizens who may pose a threat to the flying public from boarding domestic flights.”"

Looks like "NEVER AGAIN" has been cancelled without even a peep from... anybody.; 10/2/24, 9:00 PM

MadTownGuy said...: Mayorkas warns FEMA doesn’t have enough funding to last through hurricane season (AP)

"The Federal Emergency Management Agency can meet immediate needs but does not have enough funding to make it through the hurricane season, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told reporters Wednesday.

The agency is being stretched as it works with states to assess damage from Hurricane Helene and delivers meals, water, generators and other critical supplies. The storm struck Florida last week, then plowed through several states in the Southeast, flooding towns and killing more than 160 people.

Mayorkas was not specific about how much additional money the agency may need, but his remarks on Air Force One underscored concerns voiced by President Joe Biden and some lawmakers earlier this week that Congress may need to pass a supplemental spending bill this fall to help states with recovery efforts.

“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting,” Mayorkas said. “FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.”

Hurricane season runs June 1 to Nov. 30, but most hurricanes typically occur in September and October."

Where has all the funding gone? Here's one program:
Emergency Food and Shelter Program

"The Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) National Board allocates funding to jurisdictions (counties and cities) around the country. These funds support local social service organizations dedicated to feeding, sheltering and providing critical resources to people experiencing, or at risk of experiencing, homelessness or hunger. These funds are for people with non-disaster related emergencies and can be used for a broad range of services."

$425 million went to this program last year.; 10/2/24, 9:19 PM

MadTownGuy said...: Here are allegations thst FEMA is confiscating donated supplies if they don't go through the proper channels. Allegations, mind you, but check out this post on X and follow it to see if it proves to be true.
American Archer (@CalenArcher)

"I have had nearly a dozen people tell me that I should only take donations to churches - why? Because they are CONFISCATING the donations and doing God knows what with them.

I am about to dig deep into the underbelly of this - why else would the federal government completely avoid referencing us other than there being an ulterior motive? "

Is it MAGA me or does the VP look more conformable talking out of the DE&I playbook than anything that sounds like America? Is this the real reason why she doesn't give interviews?

MadTownGuy said...: Jury's still out. Precious little information is getting out because the whole region is still chaotic from the disaster. I don't expect the news agencies are being allowed in at this point, so all we have is varying reports from the survivors. There are still people asserting that Federsl officials are 'diverting' supplies that didn't go through channels. I don't know, and neither do you. That's why I called them allegations.

Here's the definition of hearsay: "A non-judicial statement offered into court as evidence of the TRUTH of the matter asserted therein."

Tell us which exceptions to that definition apply here, allowing those statements to be admissible.; 10/2/24, 10:13 PM
FullMoon said...: LOL. Dinky and Muta are doing their best, but they will not live long enough to even be considered in the same class of shit-stirrers as Inga. Dinky amd Muta post paragraphs and pages hoping to get some attention. Inga can post two sentences and generate an avalanche of replies.
Go back and look at Althouse postings and comments for the past 15 years.
Love her, or hate her, Inga is the long term queen. While Dinky and Muta may be queens (who knows these days?) they will disappear after the election-unless Trump loses , in which they will gloat for a week or so and be gone.
Inga will persevere, as always, giving we men reason to be appreciative of our wives, no matter what minor faults they have.
