DINKY DAU 45 చెప్పారు...: I dont follow or am an avid fan of any football team,but as a perveyor of the gambling arts I always look for a wager where warranted. I think they said tomlin in his 19th year and he has been to 9-10 (playoffs ) and lost them all? It will be interesting to see if he calls it a day or management does. In any case he'll be able to choose his next adventure no matter what it is. Time defintely up for Rodgers from my perspective ,he looked really old and tired last nigh although he was getting bashed as they couldnt keep the opponents off of him..; 13-01-26 9:02 AM

DINKY DAU 45 చెప్పారు...: Mild handicapping of upcoming SCOTUS decision on tariffs ,the way I sees it! SCOTUS doesn’t decide economics.
SCOTUS decides authority.
And when authority looks stretched, they usually:
Rein it in but avoid blowing it up
Im seeing get rid of some, state it was an overblow of the powers but not make payback immediate or drastic. Talk about fixing it for upcoming use and after all prices will come down some, but slowly and it will still have the consumer paying the piper. The longer they take the less the decision wll wreak havoc, I haven't spent a lot of time on it, I have no control and a prime part of getting the best hand on handicapping an issue. THEY DO WHAT THEY WANT can't even agree on what's real and what isn't you know THE PARTY TELLS YOU TO REJECT THE EVIDENCE OF YOUR OWN EYES ETC ......; 13-01-26 9:13 AM

Beasts of England చెప్పారు...: ’There's a different standard for LEOs being attacked if they're being attacked by Trump supporters.’

Let’s talk about the due process rights, or lack thereof, of the J6 defendants. Does the Trump DOJ have a special office like the Capital Siege Section to prosecute the lefties who are impeding ICE? Different standard, my ass.; 13-01-26 9:39 AM
Old and slow చెప్పారు...: It is worth keeping mind that Ronald is Chuck.

I bought a bunch of stocks when Trump announced his wild tariffs and the market dipped. I was a bit worried for a while, but those stocks are now up over 120% since I bought. Some (RKLB) are up over 340%. Sure, I got lucky, but the movement up was easily predictable.; 13-01-26 9:42 AM

The monomania and (apparently) the IP address are the same, but I suspect they’re two different posters. Chuck was quick to anger and his posts were more tedious and verbose.; 13-01-26 9:47 AM
Yancey Ward చెప్పారు...: "Initially, I was inclined to side with the ICE officer because of his prior experience—"

Oh, Bich- do you really think any of us believe that claim? I think Good could have literally told Ross, "You try to pull me out of this car and I will run over as many of you as I can before you kill me," and you would have still blamed Ross and Trump for Good's death, only the argument would have been, "Well, she was clearly not seriously threatening to run them over and only a fascist would use her free speech rights against her in order to murder her."

Leland చెప్పారు...: It is useless to argue with people who only have ad hominem statements. However, ICE is enforcing laws of the United States for decades. The people they are attempting to deport have been tried and convicted in an US Court and have deportation orders. If enforcing old laws that have been adjudicated is a dictatorship, then either you don’t know the term, are cheapening the term, and/or don’t want laws enforced at all. Most likely, you have no real argument other than you hate not being in power yourself.; 13-01-26 10:52 AM
john mosby చెప్పారు...: Yeah, Noem was the wrong person to ask about the J6 pardons. She's not a lawyer. Maybe she did pardons as Governor, but not at this scale, and she certainly wasn't involved in the J6 deliberations.

Bondi, or even better Blanche or Ed Martin, would have just said "the J6 investigation was such a typical Biden clusterfuck that we had to pardon everybody, rather than wasting even more of their lives sorting through all the procedural violations by the legacy DOJ and distinguishing between active fighters and people who walked between the rope lines under Capitol Police supervision. With this immigration stuff, we're doing it right from the beginning. That's how we know the late Ms Good was an active resister and SA Ross was defending himself."

But Tapper wasn't interested in the truth - he just wants to turn Noem into the new Palin. CC, JSM; 13-01-26 11:23 AM
Kakistocracy చెప్పారు...: Speaker Johnson says no need for Trump to testify in Epstein probe.

Johnson says Clinton’s testimony refusal “definition” of contempt.; 13-01-26 11:31 AM
Yancey Ward చెప్పారు...: Mosby is right- there were so many civil rights violations in the Jan 6th prosecutions that pardoning all of them was probably the only rational solution. Almost none of the charged crimes would have resulted in a prison sentence of more than a couple of years in any normal circumstance and yet these defendants were held without bail as a regular course of action in many cases longer than that and sentences of 10-20 years were used to grind them down to reluctant pleas given they were going to be tried in D.C. where the jury pool is highly anti-MAGA.; 13-01-26 11:34 AM
Ronald J. Ward చెప్పారు...: Beasts of England said...
’…ran from my arguments and resorted to childish retorts.’

Absurd claims don’t earn a rational response.

I’m reasonably sure the Nazi message on DHS podium was real, that Trump did insinuate being “rude” to ICE officers warranted being shot, that they have absolute immunity, and that Trump’s arrests and deportations of hardened criminals are both a small fraction of who he’s targeting and way less than previous presidents.

But by all means, run rabbit run.; 13-01-26 11:42 AM

That is a more reasoned comment, Ronald - and one that merits a response. However, my response is that I’m not seriously concerned with any elements of said comment.; 13-01-26 11:49 AM
Ronald J. Ward చెప్పారు...: Understandable Beast.; 13-01-26 11:56 AM
Beasts of England చెప్పారు...: Glad you feel that way, Ronald, as I can’t find any proof that the phrase is in any way a Nazi message. The Lidice Memorial Museum is also unfamiliar with the phrase. Perhaps a little research is indicated before you continue with the Nazi slurs.; 13-01-26 12:30 PM
john mosby చెప్పారు...: One of ours - all of yours: isn’t that an Obama quote?

So I guess it is a Nazi phrase.

Ein Volk, Ein Reich (Robert), Ein Obama!!! CC, JSM; 13-01-26 12:37 PM
Ronald J. Ward చెప్పారు...: Earlier, you had no interest. Now that you say you can find no connection there’s a sudden interest. Interesting.

Not sure if you trust AI (unless it appeals to your interests) but here’s a quick copy & paste. There are other sources;

Meaning and Origin
Fascist Origin: The phrase originated in the 1930s with the Falange Española, the Spanish fascist movement. Its original Spanish meaning translates to "one of ours is worth many of yours," establishing a clear hierarchy and devaluation of the "other" group.
Collective Punishment: The slogan is associated with the practice of collective punishment, where an entire group of people is penalized for the actions of an individual within that group. This practice is explicitly forbidden under Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which states that "no protected person may be punished for an offense he or she has not personally committed".
Historical Context: It was used as a slogan during the Spanish Civil War and has been a recurring theme in various fascist and authoritarian movements throughout history, implying that if you harm one person from "our" side, "we" will take disproportionate action against "all of yours".
Modern Usage
The phrase has recently appeared in modern political discourse, most notably displayed on a podium used by South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem at a press briefing. This use has generated significant controversy and concern, with critics pointing out its historical, authoritarian connotations and interpreting it as a modern threat.; 13-01-26 12:40 PM
Beasts of England చెప్పారు...: I didn’t say I had no interest, Ronald - don’t lie. I said I wasn’t ‘seriously concerned’ - big difference. And, to the best of my knowledge, the Spanish fascist movement wasn’t comprised of Nazis.; 13-01-26 12:48 PM
Ronald J. Ward చెప్పారు...: Fair enough Beast, not seriously concerned doesn’t equate to a lack of interest. Man what was I thinking?

So, as long as fascist language and collective punishment suggestions wasn’t comprised of Nazis, fair game?; 13-01-26 12:57 PM
Kakistocracy చెప్పారు...: Six Prosecutors Quit Over Push to Investigate ICE Shooting Victim’s Widow ~ NYT
"Joseph H. Thompson, a career federal prosecutor who was the acting U.S. attorney for Minnesota last year, was among those who resigned as the Justice Department sought to examine the woman’s supposed ties to activist groups."

Profiles in courage..; 13-01-26 12:57 PM
Kakistocracy చెప్పారు...: Six recent resignations represent ~8.5% of the ~70-person office. The fraud investigation was proceeding effectively until the administration insisted on making it explicitly racial and a political weapon to attack political enemies. Add this to the Civil Rights Division resignations and many others that have been happening this year.

Soon, DOJ and U.S. Attorney’s Offices will be increasingly filled by people who accept these tactics—individuals who, respectfully, often appear more compliant than competent.; 13-01-26 1:10 PM
Iman చెప్పారు...: kak’s believability rating of his comments have nowhere to go but up from the basement.; 13-01-26 1:44 PM
Iman చెప్పారు...: I’ll do you a solid, kak. Don’t go away mad, go away educated:

Shipwreckedcrew
@shipwreckedcrew

Let me tell you the real reason why the four prosecutors in Civil Rights Criminal Section resigned.

It has to do with the death of Breonna Taylor.

Louisville PD Officer Brett Hankison was retried after a jury in his first federal trial ended 11-1 for acquittal. These four individuals were part of the leadership team that agitated to retry him.

Hankison had already been acquitted in state court trial.

Hankison did not fire the round that killed Taylor. No one was struck by any round Hankison fired.

Hankison was convicted in a second trial in Nov. 2024, with the verdict coming just prior to the election.

After the Trump Admin. took over DOJ and the Civil Rights Division, it asked to have the sentencing postponed so new leadership could examine the history of the case and the decision-making behind retrying a case that had ended 11-1 for acquittal after a 12-0 acquittal in state court.

The DOJ filed a Sentencing Memorandum that said it could find NO CASE EVER that had been prosecuted on the legal theory relied upon by the DOJ prosecutors and supervisors who were behind the Hankison case.

It as a "cause" to "get" one police officer.

The Civil Rights prosecutors who had handled the case were removed by AAG Dhillon, and both have since left the office.

In the Sentencing Memoranda, DOJ recommended a sentence of "Time Served" -- 1 day -- given the conduct of the Biden DOJ.

The judge was unhappy -- she had expressed a clear dislike of Hankison and was cowed by the protesters in and out of the courtroom.

She sentenced him to 33 months AND denied him bail pending appeal even though DOJ did not oppose and agreed there were significant legal issues with the conviction.

The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals AGREED with Hankison and DOJ, and ordered him released pending appeal just before Christmas.

DOJ is likely to concede error by the Biden Civil Rights Prosecutors -- who were supported by the now resigned leadership.

Now you know the rest of the story.

I have an article I'm working on re Hankison's case that mostly focuses on the outrageous conduct by the Judge -- a Trump appointee, but more important than that, a McConnell acolyte.; 13-01-26 1:50 PM
Beasts of England చెప్పారు...: ’So, as long as fascist language and collective punishment suggestions wasn’t [sic] comprised of Nazis, fair game?’

If you’re going to repeatedly deploy something as vulgar as a Nazi slur then you sure as hell best be accurate. You were wrong and now you’re being disingenuous.; 13-01-26 2:09 PM
Ronald J. Ward చెప్పారు...: You’re entitled to your opinions Beast but I don’t think I’m the one being disingenuous here.

I’ve laid out my arguments of the stench of Nazism coming from the Trump regime multiple times. I’ve pointed out the echoes of a Gestapo police that others are hearing as well. The quote proudly shown on the DHS podium is yet another parallel of an error that did not turn out well.

What I’m seeing here is not so much of not so much denying it but covering your ears to the reality, not wanting to talk about it, an inability to confront something that would conflict with your world view and render you “one of them”.

It as if you’re arguing that the sweat on your brow cannot be proof that the pot’s starting to boil.; 13-01-26 2:46 PM
Kakistocracy చెప్పారు...: "Mr. Thompson’s resignation came after senior DOJ officials pressed for a criminal investigation into the actions of the widow of Renee Nicole Good, the Minneapolis woman killed by an ICE agent" ~ NYT

Prosecutors across the country who are resigning to protest the illegal, unethical, and immoral actions of the DOJ are true heroes. These are dream jobs—highly coveted, career-defining positions that many spend years working toward. Yet these men and women are willingly walking away from them to do what’s right, even when so many others would choose to stay silent.

The DOJ could save a fortune in background checks and therapy bills if they’d just slap this one brutal question right at the top of the application:“Are you currently, or do you dream of someday becoming, a spineless, witless mook who’ll do literally anything for a paycheck?”

Check “Yes” and you’re hired on the spot.
Check “No” and enjoy your sudden wave of integrity.

Either way, we’d all know exactly what we’re getting—no more surprise mass resignations to ruin the vibe.; 13-01-26 2:50 PM
Ronald J. Ward చెప్పారు...: “You don’t want militarized people in the streets just roaming around, snatching up people — many of which turn out to be U.S. citizens that just don’t have their papers on them. Are we really gonna be the Gestapo, ‘Where’s your papers?’ Is that what we’ve come to?”
——Joe Rogan; 13-01-26 2:57 PM
Kakistocracy చెప్పారు...: The DOJ Civil Rights Division used to investigate and sometimes prosecute federal and local law enforcement alleged to have violated the civil rights and liberties of citizens. It is out of that business now. Today it investigates grievances from white individuals on social media claiming victimhood.

This represents a significant realignment in enforcement emphasis.; 13-01-26 3:06 PM
Ronald J. Ward చెప్పారు...: Now the DOJ, in an ICE recruiting ad says “We’ll Have Our Home Again”, a phrase found in the manifesto of Ryan Christopher Palmeter, the white supremacist who killed three Black people in a Jacksonville, FL Dollar General store in 2023 and has become part of the refrain of a white nationalist anthem.; 13-01-26 4:15 PM
