Republican Debate Showed How Not to Pick a President

THE INDICTMENTS AGAINST ME SHOULD BE VIEWED AS A CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION TO CROOKED JOE BIDEN AND HIS RADICAL LEFT THUGS,"

I thought he said he was "Proud" to get indicted and it was a "Great Honor".

In his after-action report to Chief Curry dated December 3, 1963 , Detective Marvin Buhk wrote,

https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth339939/m1/1/?q=%22Marvin%20Buhk%22

Now, maybe Buhk meant to write that the men at the Library were from the Police Department’s Special Service Bureau, but, Marvin Buhk was a Detective in the DPD’s Forgery Bureau, along with John B. Toney. E.L. Cunningham was one of its Lieutenants.

https://www.history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh19/pdf/WH19_Batchelor_Ex_5002.pdf page 31 of the pdf file.

As a Detective, you would think that he would know the difference between the Special Service Bureau and the Secret Service; especially since E.E. Taylor, who was with him,  was a Detective in that same Special Service Bureau.

In addition, I don’t know who in the Special Service Bureau would have been at the Library sooner than Buhk and Cunningham.

DEFENDANT JEFFREY B. CLARK’S NOTICE OF REMOVAL TO

THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN

DISTRICT OF GEORGIA, ATLANTA DIVISION

“In its every dimension, the Action is a violation of the sacred principle of

enforcing the law on an evenhanded basis. It is not a good-faith prosecution; it is

instead a political “hit job” stretched out across 98 pages to convey the false

impression that it has heft and gravity. And for these reasons, it is certainly not a

matter that this Court—with its illustrious history as one of the original thirteen

courts established by the Judiciary Act of 1789—should have to sully itself with.”

The whole thing just makes me feel so dirty. I think I need a shower. I’ve been sullied.

Fox News is blaming Tropical Storm Hilary hitting California on President Joe Biden.

https://www.rawstory.com/fox-news-tells-viewers-they-let-tropical-storm-hilary-into-the-us-because-its-bidens-america-2664196166/

“In the first minute of the right-wing cable channel’s “The Big Weekend Show” Sunday evening, host Kennedy opened with a dramatic introduction.

“The big story tonight: The wrath of Tropical Storm Hilary. 42 million desperate souls in the path of the storm which made landfall in Mexico several hours ago. But they let it right into the country because it’s Biden’s America.

Kennedy then aired a clip of National Hurricane Center Deputy Director Jamie Rhome discussing the storm, saying there are “a lot of people in harm’s way” who are “probably being a little bit flippant in not taking the risk seriously.”

Yup/ "They" just let it right on in.

They didn't even have a crossing guard out with a Stop Sign or nothin.

Trump’s legal woes are part of his quasi-religious mythology of martyrdom

by Sidney Blumenthal

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/aug/21/trump-election-giuliani-sidney-blumenthal

“The trials are a continuous spectacle, featuring an all-star cast in far-flung locations. Political reporters are barely heard from, while legal analysts fill the airwaves. Every twist and turn, every motion, every argument is the breathless lead story. Everyone, from prosecutors to co-conspirators, named and unnamed, indicted and unindicted, are characters in Trump’s new reality show – part violent action movie (the insurrection), part sleazy porn flick (Stormy Daniels), part conspiracy thriller (Mar-a-Lago), and part mafia drama (the fake elector racket).

But the Trump trials are more than his means; they are his ends. The trials are not the sideshow, but the heart and soul of Trump’s campaign. They have become his essential fundraising tool to finance his defense, his platform for whipping up his followers into a constant state of excitement, and his instrument for dominating the media to make himself the center of attention and blot out coverage of anyone else.

The trials are the message. They are the drama around which Trump plays his role as the unjustly accused victim, whose rights are trampled and who is the martyr for his oppressed “deplorables”. He is taking the slings and arrows for them. The narcissist is the self-sacrificing saint. The criminal is the angel. The xxxx is the truth-teller. If any Republican lapses in faithfulness, they are more than a mere doubter or skeptic, but a betrayer and traitor. Trump’s trials are the rigorous trial of his followers’ faith. Rejection of temptation in an encounter with an impertinent fact that might raise a qualm shows purity of heart. Seduction by fact must be resisted. The siren song of critical thinking must be cast out as sin. Trump’s convictions are the supreme test of his followers’ strength of conviction.”

I never thought about it in those terms.

We are about to enter a religious war.

This could take a long time.

Thirty Year’s War anyone?

Conservatives lose it as Biden administration sells off Trump's border wall materials

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-wall/

"According to a report from Newsweek, GOP lawmakers weighed in on the sale of vertical tubes that were a central component of the wall that the former president insisted would be funded by the government of Mexico.

As the Post reported, "The Biden administration is quietly auctioning off millions of dollars’ worth of unused parts from former President Trump’s border wall for peanuts – in an apparent end-run around pending legislation in Congress," before adding, "Since April, GovPlanet, an online auction house specializing in military surplus, has sold 81 lots of steel “square structural tubes” — intended for use as vertical bollards in the border barrier’s 30-foot-tall panels — hauling in about $2 million.""

Gretchen Whitmer Is Taking Her Defense Of Abortion, LGBTQ+ Rights Directly To Red States

“It’s a pitch to lure employers and workers to Michigan ― and a pretty major bet about the public’s state of mind.”

By Jonathan Cohn August 20, 2023

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/gretchen-whitmer-michigan-abortion-lgbtq_n_64e0d973e4b0dd561030f596

“Last week, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) launched a digital ad

campaign touting the state’s commitment to inclusiveness and personal liberty. Its target is a half-dozen mostly Southern states where Republicans are in charge and have passed laws restricting abortion, LGBTQ+ rights or both.

MEDC is a public-private partnership that works with the governor’s office to boost in-state business ― in this case, by appealing to high-skilled workers who tend to cherish those personal freedoms, along with the companies that covet those workers as employees.

But this isn’t just another attempt to lure money and people into the state. This is also part of a broader attempt to mount an aggressive defense of abortion and LGBTQ+ rights by putting them together under the banner of “freedom.””

'Friday Night Lights' Author Torches ChatGPT-Assisted Iowa Book Ban

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/friday-night-lights-buzz-bissinger-chatgpt-book-ban_n_64df3f13e4b04a3ebc33da63

“The author of “Friday Night Lights” tore into a school district in Iowa that banned his book and 18 others from libraries after officials used ChatGPT to identify books that violated an extreme new state law.

H.G. “Buzz” Bissinger ― whose 1990 classic “Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream” chronicled high school football in a Texas town and inspired two TV series and a movie ― spoke with the Mason City Globe Gazette on Wednesday after the newspaper reported last week that the local school district had pulled the book from shelves before the upcoming school year.

The book is being “falsely depicted” as inappropriate for children, he said.”

“Bridgette Exman, the district’s assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction, tried to defend the use of ChatGPT.

“Frankly, we have more important things to do than spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to protect kids from books,” the official wrote in an email to PopSci. “At the same time, we do have a legal and ethical obligation to comply with the law.””

What's so amazing to me is that a Party that constantly harps on "personal freedom" is so willing to relinquish it if the "right" people tell them to.

America, Georgia's got this

By D. Earl Stephens

https://www.rawstory.com/america-georgia-s-got-this/

“Our peaceful transfer of power, a hallmark of America, was now being wrecked by the most anti-American president in U.S. history.

The son of a bitch had actually attacked us.

While law enforcement officers were beaten with flag poles and crushed by the stampede, and lowlifes like Hawley and Cruz hid, Trump sat back in the White House, and for hours and hours did nothing but root for the attack’s success.

We know how that day ended, and for more than two years most of us have been waiting for justice to begin.

The traitor, Trump, is now facing nearly 100 felony counts across four states for his never-ending attacks on decency and our democracy.”

Steve,

Thanks for posting both of J. Edgar Hoover 1964 letters to J. Lee Rankin that the suspect's description came from an unknown witness. What is so striking about this is that this "witness" claimed to have seen a suspect "running from the Texas School Book Depository immediately after the assassination" (presumably holding a .30 caliber rifle.)

 

Paul,

Neither the DPD transcript, nor either of J. Edgar Hoover's letters to Rankin say that the individual seen running from the TSBD was armed with a rifle.

Frankly, I don't know where that information came from. Somebody who did shoddy research conflated the two accounts and put them together.

Hoover's letters say that, based on information provided by the Dallas Police, a man was seen running from the TSBD, but there was no mention of a rifle.; but we already knew that from Roger Craig. Maybe the DPD was relaying Craig's info to the FBI.

Jen Psaki said that Donald Trump just threw his lawyers under the bus.

Trump was going to have this big press conference where he was going to prove how Georgia's election was rigged and crooked and fraudulent.

But now, he's called that off and said his lawyers are going to take care of that in their legal filings, and his lawyers are going, "Wait1 That's not my job. My job is to keep you out of jail." "It's not my job to repeat all the lies that you got arrested for in the first place!"
