I had a hard time coming up with anyone who looked like A Democrat leader to do tit for tat. There really isn’t anyone is there? Whelp, that’s what you get when you keep paying up for the over The Hill free agents instead of growing the prospects on the farm team….
According to the interviews, Maxwell told investigators President Donald Trump was never involved with Epstein's sex trafficking enterprise and was "never inappropriate with anybody." Trump and Epstein were acquaintances in the early 2000s before Trump broke off the relationship 20 years ago.
“I never witnessed the President in any inappropriate setting in any way. The President was never inappropriate with anybody. In the times that I was with him, he was a gentleman in all respects,” Maxwell said.
Californians will be voting in November whether or not to accept the gerrymandered Congressional map. A Yes vote is a vote to end the independent redistricting commission.
Right now CA is 43D-9R. (D+34) The proposed map makes it 48D-4R (D+44)
CA is expected to lose four seats after the 2030 census.
To maintain D+44 the map has to be 46D-2R. No independent commission will approve that. The precedent to sidestep the commission has been set. CA's Senate & Assembly will again put forward maps to be voted on in 2031 for the 2032 election.
I watch a lot of geopolitical analysis, and I think that most of them use the old weatherman's rule to be right more often than not without having to think. "Today's weather is going to be just like yesterday's weather." Of course it misses trends like the seasons, or significant events that signal real change, but it is comforting for people to always believe that they are right, and no matter what happens, it can be made to fit into their worldview, into which they are heavily invested, until one day it no longer does.
I have no idea what Trump is doing in Ukraine, for example. One thing that worries me is his talk of "security guarantees" to Ukraine. How did the UK drag its population into WWI with Germany, which the elites wanted? By providing innocent sounding security guarantees to poor little Belgium, while telling its people that it would not agree to defend France in the war everybody could see coming, and when Germany attacked France through Belgium, the UK got the war with Germany, on France's side.
But I am sure that the British newspapers were full of reporting claiming that Britain had been innocently dragged into the war.
Decided to rewatch "marathon Man" starring Dustin Hoffman. One of my Teenage favorites. Cant remember if I saw it on TV or on VHS in the early 80s. But I was blown away. The evil Nazi. Hangdog Hoffman who a teenage boy could relate to. Woo, so dark and gritty. And that dentist drill!
And on re-watch. What a ridiculous mess. Plot holes you could march a regiment of SS camp guards through. Somehow a JFK-look alike CIA agent is in league with some Nazi who lives in South America. Both want to get a suitcase full of diamonds. And somehow "Babe" aka Dustin Hoffman is the only one who can stop them. He has a brother who's also in CIA, and a father who died because Joe McCarthy was mean to him, and there's a beautiful Euro babe whos with the Nazis but then Hoffman goes to bed with her, and ala James Bond she changes side.
Hey, if it works for sean Connery it can work for Dustin.
There's lot of running and double crossing and finally "Babe" shoots the nazis and leaves those "Dirty Diamonds" in the water. Guess the sewage plant had a slew of retirement the next day.
Good acting. Some nice action scenes. Love the 70s vibe. But the whole story makes zero sense.

Last comment. I often use the phrase "Killer-clown". Oh, you dont remember? Shocking. But I do.
And no one represents that more than John Bolten. Nobody loves war, killing people, and giving the green light to the Bombers more than John bolten. But what a fucking clown this guy is. Mr. Walrus man. He should be the Manager at Walgreens Drug store. Or running a Jiffey lube.
He's a clown. And a killer. And he did at one point have power. I'm wondering is it old age? Is that when you get older, suddenly all these politicans and "Great men" in charge just seem like morons or 12 year old kids playing with dynamite?
Reading about FDR and Eleanor, two people I used to think were "Great" (sunrise at Campbello and all that). And God, now I think what freaks they were. At the same level as Nancy Pelosi and Bill Clinton. Only with a little more class. Eleanor was a boring nag, who lonely and was manipulated by a bunch of lesbians and commies. FDR was a shallow narcissist who cared only about himself.
“Deadly Russian missile attack on Ukraine wipes out US-owned factory— as Poland scrambles to protect its airspace”
Russia launched one of its biggest missile attacks of the year on Ukraine overnight, killing at least one and injuring more than a dozen — with the deadly onslaught striking a US electronics manufacturer and sending Poland scrambling warplanes to protect its airspace.
The barrage of 574 drones and 40 ballistic and cruise missiles mostly targeted western regions of Ukraine, the Ukrainian air force said Thursday — just as the diplomatic push to stop the three-year war was trying to gain momentum.“
Trump says he doesn’t know what he will do, that maybe Ukraine and Russia should just fight some more. He said wait two weeks, the famous two weeks.
“Trump suggests Ukraine 'play offensive' as Russia downplays prospect of Putin-Zelenskyy summit
Amid Russian resistance to his peacemaking efforts, President Donald Trump on Thursday appeared to suggest Ukraine go on the offensive militarily.
In a post to his social media platform, Trump criticized former President Joe Biden's approach to the conflict, claiming Biden "would not let Ukraine FIGHT BACK, only DEFEND."
"It is very hard, if not impossible, to win a war without attacking an invaders country. It’s like a great team in sports that has a fantastic defense, but is not allowed to play offensive. There is no chance of winning!" Trump wrote.”
And Trump, if guilty of statutory rape, had a lot of reasons NOT to bring Bondi, Bongino, and Patel on board. Doesn't it make more sense to conclude that Trump himself is not guilty?
I don't think that conclusion extends to donors or other people of importance (whether political or intelligence). But I challenge anyone to show that, say, Obama, Biden, or Clinton would have outed their donors. I mean, obviously they haven't.
Talking about feeling old. Reading these comments make me feel like 100 years old. Remember when Althouse comment section had funny witty people? Not me, BTW. But you people are such Goddamn Bores. Oh, lets talk about tarriffs. Oh, what about attacking Trump for the 1 million time.
I'll bet someone will bring up climate change next. LOL. Good night all.
Number one reason might be to escape being Epsteined.
That's your #1 reason.

It's because Trump would have her killed were she to spill the beans.

Poor Little Dingabat- still digging for that pony in the big pile of Epstein Shit. Have fun digging, Inga- because you will never find it. I am just laughing my ass off at you.
So Igna admits that Maxwell had every reason to lie about Bill Clinton visiting Epstein Island, for fear of being Epsteined, more broadly known as Arkancide. Is that not correct Igna?

"I just watched "A Complete Unknown" three times over 3 days. What a great movie, really captured that era."
Believe it or not, I still haven't seen the movie. At this point, I think it would need to come up on one of the services I subscribe to. That's what I'd waited for and now I've had to wait so long, it doesn't have that current-movie feel to it that makes me feel I need to see it soon. It can be in there with "Apocalypse, Now" — I mean to get to it but possibly never will. My very strong interest in Bob Dylan doesn't make me want to see the movie. It's given me a bit of an aversion. But I was interested enough in the movie before it came out to read the book it was based on. At this point, I'm put off by the idea of watching the actor pretend to be Bob Dylan and by the prospect of many scenes in which what's important seems to be his interaction with women.
"by the prospect of many scenes in which what's important seems to be his interaction with women."
Ouch! And true. Fortunately for us guys, the woman they had playing Joan Baez was a certified hottie.
I just had a long discussion with AI over Apocalypse Now, and before you laugh, what you are really doing when you do this is running your ideas against what other people, mainly movie critics, but also people writing about Hollywood in general, think about the movie, and it was quite enlightening. I remember seeing it in a movie theater on its first run, and have watched it several times since, and it is an interesting movie, but I learned from AI why the ending sucked and seemed like a break from the rest of the movie. AI knows a lot about the making of the movie, for example.
The other behavior it has adopted is to ask you questions at the end of its answers to draw you further into the discussion in different directions.

You know what the most spoken languages in Vilnius were before Hitler handed it over to Lithuania? Yiddish and Polish. Try finding Yiddish speakers there now, or Polish speakers for that matter. This is the country that only celebrates the victory over Hitler because they were ordered to by NATO when they joined.
Was Ghislaine Maxwell Credible When She Said That Donald Trump Never Did Anything Wrong?
Well ... an even better question may be: What does a person completely lacking morals -- who recruited and trained children to have sex with pedophiles consider 'wrong'?
Interesting that Maxwell implied Epstein set up the Clinton Global Fund. If true, that’d be a significant source of Epstein’s wealth, and also make sense of the Clinton-Epstein bromance.

If we were gonna tit for tat the Democrats in a home raid they’d need a popular President to have been one-termed with voter fraud widespread enough to change the election outcome, gotten away with it, then the government would need to coordinate with corrupt federal and state le and judiciaries to invent a crime, then raid the house based on the invention. That’s a tough tit for tat lift…

"Seizing on a paperwork violation and over $500,000 in fines, DOL [Department of Labor] agents hounded a fourth-generation farm into collapse."
This happened in 2015. Reminds me of the Gibson Guitar raids.
Key quote: "Seizing on a paperwork violation and over $500,000 in fines, Department of Labor (DOL) agents hounded a fourth-generation farm into collapse, trapping brothers Joe and Russell Marino in nine years of bureaucratic hell.
Denied access to an outside court or jury, the Marinos were subjected to an in-house agency process from pillar to post. Pursuit by DOL agents, enforcement by DOL personnel, trial by DOL attorneys, decision by DOL judge, and approval by DOL appellate judges."
All you cynical experts: Was Maxwell under oath when she had her 9 hour interview? Come on: Impress us with your grasp of the actual acts, and try to not use your sardonic winks. Then tell us how her work release in the country club Federal prison camp is coming along.
Gavin Newsom holds mirror to Maga by trolling Trump ~ FT
Finally, an American discovers satire.
Ridicule is a powerful antidote to the ridiculous. Although it is hard to look more ridiculous thanTrump yesterday, using the Oval Office to announce the football World Cup draw date, while wearing an oversized red baseball cap emblazoned with a phrase suggesting his Popish infallibility.
Trump has cornered the market in looking ridiculous.
If there is a single person to be found, that is the reigning absolute expert on looking ridiculous and being consistently wrong, one may turn to these pages to find him.
Mad Town Guy, ref the Marino brothers: It is sort of poignant, but remember they were relying on imported ag visa workers. So one of the takeaways is once you take the Queen's shilling, you belong to her. Which includes her messed-up admin law kangaroo courts.
The Marinos might have kept their farm and spent less money had they built some dorms and bought some buses to bring American workers in from nearby cities at peak times.
Also, somebody bought their farm. I wonder what sort of workers the buyer is using to work that land? (non-rhetorical; are they headed down the same H2A garden path? Are they a Big Ag firm who doesn't mind taking the risk of some adverse labor rulings? Or do they have a totally different business model?)
Remember - not only does Inga still steep in the Russia Russia Russia lie - The Russia hacked the 2016 election/ Trump is a Russian asset LIE... She still thinks Jussie Smolliette was attacked by two white guys at 2AM in minus 15 degree winter - by dudes in MAGA hats. (Even tho the two men Jussie hired, have admitted their participation in the fake crime.)
"Mad Town Guy, ref the Marino brothers: It is sort of poignant, but remember they were relying on imported ag visa workers. So one of the takeaways is once you take the Queen's shilling, you belong to her. Which includes her messed-up admin law kangaroo courts."
That's true to a point, but the abuse of power, especially regarding a paperwork issue - not even an error on the part of the farm owners, according to the article - is astounding. Unelected bureaucrats transgressed the boundaries of decency, and their legitimate authority, to punish the farm owners for no good reason.

I'm wondering why Our Hostess is "put off by the acttor pretending to be Bob Dylan...". Isn't that what all actors do; pretend to be someone they're not?
...it doesn't have that current-movie feel to it that makes me feel I need to see it soon. It can be in there with "Apocalypse, Now" Possibly explains why Jimmy Buffett confessed : "I go for younger women..."
I don't think it's frivilous to highlight the importance of interactions Dylan had with women. To ignore the relationship he had with Baez would be to ignore the essence of Dylan.
He was fundamentally true to himself and not afraid of growth and change. You might as well have highlighted his relationships with Pete Seeger, fan bases, and various causes and movements that demanded him to be one of heir own.
A Rolling Stone's gotta roll.
I'm a long-time Dylan admirer and believe he's often misunderstood - by fans and critics alike. I didn't have high hopes for the movie but "had to" see it. As Pvt. Pyle would say, "Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!". It was a lot like the real Bob Dylan. My version, anyway.
"emblazoned with a phrase suggesting his Popish infallibility."
Really? That took some real sleight of hand to throw that piece of baseless insinuation in there. It's pretty funny, actually. How stupid do you think that the people you are trying to convince are?

Ouch! And true. Fortunately for us guys, the woman they had playing Joan Baez was a certified hottie.
I just had a long discussion with AI over Apocalypse Now, and before you laugh, what you are really doing when you do this is running your ideas against what other people, mainly movie critics, but also people writing about Hollywood in general, think about the movie, and it was quite enlightening. I remember seeing it in a movie theater on its first run, and have watched it several times since, and it is an interesting movie, but I learned from AI why the ending sucked and seemed like a break from the rest of the movie. AI knows a lot about the making of the movie, for example.
The other behavior it has adopted is to ask you questions at the end of its answers to draw you further into the discussion in different directions.

You know what the most spoken languages in Vilnius were before Hitler handed it over to Lithuania? Yiddish and Polish. Try finding Yiddish speakers there now, or Polish speakers for that matter. This is the country that only celebrates the victory over Hitler because they were ordered to by NATO when they joined.
YancyBoy, gullible, aren’t you? You’ll find no prize up Trump’s bum.
Maxwell has many reasons to lie and many powerful men to stay on the good side of.
Tonight on Fox News: Ghislaine Maxwell Exonerates Donald Trump

Was Ghislaine Maxwell Credible When She Said That Donald Trump Never Did Anything Wrong?
Well ... an even better question may be: What does a person completely lacking morals -- who recruited and trained children to have sex with pedophiles consider 'wrong'?
Inga, Dinky, Dau - Almost works. Trying to find some value in their presence.
Kak - Take you pills via enema.
Interesting that Maxwell implied Epstein set up the Clinton Global Fund. If true, that’d be a significant source of Epstein’s wealth, and also make sense of the Clinton-Epstein bromance.

Rock and Roll happens in bars when drinkers become dancers. Fame, Stadium Seating, Souvenir T-shirts, Amplifiers big as a house are commemorative fireworks celebrating War.
If we were gonna tit for tat the Democrats in a home raid they’d need a popular President to have been one-termed with voter fraud widespread enough to change the election outcome, gotten away with it, then the government would need to coordinate with corrupt federal and state le and judiciaries to invent a crime, then raid the house based on the invention. That’s a tough tit for tat lift…
…it’s once again all about the incentives. To do corrupt shit close to one side or other of the sedition line and get away with it, we’re gonna get more of it next time around…
Family Farm Wins Historic Case After Feds Violate Constitution and Ruin Business
"Seizing on a paperwork violation and over $500,000 in fines, DOL [Department of Labor] agents hounded a fourth-generation farm into collapse."
This happened in 2015. Reminds me of the Gibson Guitar raids.
Key quote:
"Seizing on a paperwork violation and over $500,000 in fines, Department of Labor (DOL) agents hounded a fourth-generation farm into collapse, trapping brothers Joe and Russell Marino in nine years of bureaucratic hell.
Denied access to an outside court or jury, the Marinos were subjected to an in-house agency process from pillar to post. Pursuit by DOL agents, enforcement by DOL personnel, trial by DOL attorneys, decision by DOL judge, and approval by DOL appellate judges."
I’m unimpressed by the ‘bore’ insult. I’m not here for your entertainment plus it just makes the accuser sound inappropriately self-centered…
" Remember when Althouse comment section had funny witty people?"
The joke. You're sitting on it.
How's this for a joke. Canada has removed all tariffs on US goods. Using tariffs as a negotiating tool works.
All you cynical experts: Was Maxwell under oath when she had her 9 hour interview? Come on: Impress us with your grasp of the actual acts, and try to not use your sardonic winks. Then tell us how her work release in the country club Federal prison camp is coming along.
Gavin Newsom holds mirror to Maga by trolling Trump ~ FT
Finally, an American discovers satire.
Ridicule is a powerful antidote to the ridiculous. Although it is hard to look more ridiculous thanTrump yesterday, using the Oval Office to announce the football World Cup draw date, while wearing an oversized red baseball cap emblazoned with a phrase suggesting his Popish infallibility.
Trump has cornered the market in looking ridiculous.
If there is a single person to be found, that is the reigning absolute expert on looking ridiculous and being consistently wrong, one may turn to these pages to find him.
Perhaps Leni Riefenstahl's “A Triumph of teh Will” would be more to your liking, Herr RCOCEAN.
Gavin Newsum(D) is an inept and embarrassing Biden ring-kissing mob-loyalist who hires people to write his moronic troll posts.
Mad Town Guy, ref the Marino brothers: It is sort of poignant, but remember they were relying on imported ag visa workers. So one of the takeaways is once you take the Queen's shilling, you belong to her. Which includes her messed-up admin law kangaroo courts.
The Marinos might have kept their farm and spent less money had they built some dorms and bought some buses to bring American workers in from nearby cities at peak times.
Also, somebody bought their farm. I wonder what sort of workers the buyer is using to work that land? (non-rhetorical; are they headed down the same H2A garden path? Are they a Big Ag firm who doesn't mind taking the risk of some adverse labor rulings? Or do they have a totally different business model?)

good luck!

She still thinks Jussie Smolliette was attacked by two white guys at 2AM in minus 15 degree winter - by dudes in MAGA hats. (Even tho the two men Jussie hired, have admitted their participation in the fake crime.)

That's true to a point, but the abuse of power, especially regarding a paperwork issue - not even an error on the part of the farm owners, according to the article - is astounding. Unelected bureaucrats transgressed the boundaries of decency, and their legitimate authority, to punish the farm owners for no good reason.
I think firings are in order.
Ya know. I coulda swore it said leave a comment on anything. You don't like receptor science? Ask a doctor. Prove me wrong.
Ask your doctor to use receptor science to explain how drugs cause addiction.

Receptor Science (100+ years old) says drugs fill receptors. What empties those receptors (injury, PTSD) causes a desire for pain relieving drugs. People take pain relievers to relieve pain.
I'm wondering why Our Hostess is "put off by the acttor pretending to be Bob Dylan...". Isn't that what all actors do; pretend to be someone they're not?
...it doesn't have that current-movie feel to it that makes me feel I need to see it soon. It can be in there with "Apocalypse, Now" Possibly explains why Jimmy Buffett confessed : "I go for younger women..."
I don't think it's frivilous to highlight the importance of interactions Dylan had with women. To ignore the relationship he had with Baez would be to ignore the essence of Dylan.
He was fundamentally true to himself and not afraid of growth and change. You might as well have highlighted his relationships with Pete Seeger, fan bases, and various causes and movements that demanded him to be one of heir own.
A Rolling Stone's gotta roll.
I'm a long-time Dylan admirer and believe he's often misunderstood - by fans and critics alike. I didn't have high hopes for the movie but "had to" see it. As Pvt. Pyle would say, "Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!". It was a lot like the real Bob Dylan. My version, anyway.

MadTownGuy, I read some of the other stories that were on the website your link led to. Sometimes you can't hate bureaucratic government enough.
"emblazoned with a phrase suggesting his Popish infallibility."
Really? That took some real sleight of hand to throw that piece of baseless insinuation in there. It's pretty funny, actually. How stupid do you think that the people you are trying to convince are?
"I just watched "A Complete Unknown" three times over 3 days. What a great movie, really captured that era."
I don’t want to watch it, I am afraid I would be triggered by Dylan’s Donovan abuse.

"You're kind of an asshole, Bob."
That was funny!
Haven't seen the movie yet. Just bought the DVD. Another fantasic Dylan movie, if you haven't seen it, is Scorsese's doc, No Direction Home.
