mcgeo52 comments on Jan 31, 2021:

My understanding is that they had worked out a defense based on questioning the Constitutionality of trying Trump since he had already left office. He insisted on basing his defense on his claim that the election was stolen. They refused to go along with that particular insanity and quit. BTW, not only is there historical precedent for impeaching and trying someone after they are out of office, the Constitution gives the Senate the right to bar Trump from office if he is convicted. That requires a trial, and to say he cannot be tried is to put him above the law. The Supreme Court ruled twice so far that Trump is not above the law.

mcgeo52 comments on Jan 30, 2021:

Regarding the first one: Prosecutors are standing by. At this point the line looks something like: • SDNY for cases handed off by Mueller. • EDVa for cases handed off by Mueller. • US Atty DC for cases handed off by Mueller. • NY AG for financial crimes (e.g., bank fraud, tax fraud, insurance fraud, money laundering). • NY County DA batting cleanup on the overflow from Tish James (NY AG). • Fulton County, Georgia DA for election interference (find 11,780 votes). In light of January 6, DC may get to cut to the front of the line. So, what is everyone waiting on? I suspect they are waiting for the Senate to confirm the AG so he can green light the prosecutions and help decide the proper order for the cases. The states are apparently deferring to the feds for now.

My impression is that any single member of Biden's cabinet has an IQ greater that the total IQ of Trump's cabinet. Once again, it's good to see Biden raising the bar. As for diversity, its like comparing the color choices for traditional wedding gowns to a Pantone® sample book.

Decent analysis except for the last 15 seconds. Saying the Democrats ran on nothing but bet Trump and don't know what to do now that they have united control of government is really absurd. They've had control of the committees in the Senate for less than two days.Bills are clearing the House already, and will clear the Senate soon. By the time they reach the White House Biden should be able to find time to sign them, in between the Executive Orders that he is working his way through. I would be willing to wager that 100 days in to this administration they will have a record to match or beat any administrations first 100 days, with the possible exception of FDR.

mcgeo52 comments on Jan 24, 2021:

Just to be clear on what really happened regarding the January 6 rally and the attack on the Capitol: • The rally itself was planned by the organizers as a legitimate political rally. They had acquired the proper permits for a legit and peaceful rally. • They were never issued a permit to extend the rally beyond the original site. There was no permit for a march on the Capitol, and they were aware of and ok with this. • Before he spoke, Donald Trump was informed at least twice that there was no permit for a match to the Capitol. • Donald Trump ignored the advice, warnings, and pleas of the organizers when he sent the mob to the Capitol. Failure to secure a permit for the march on the Capitol may well be one of the least charges that Trump faces, but it is a very telling one.

mcgeo52 comments on Jan 23, 2021:

Some state AG or local DA needs to file manslaughter charges against Fox (i.e., Murdoch and the top half dozen on air personalities) for the deaths they caused by knowingly spreading lies about COVID. The fact that Rupert Murdoch canceled his 89th birthday party in March of 2020 proves that they knew of the danger at least that early. Once the jury returns a guilty verdict, the FCC will have to, as a matter of public safety, pull the Fox licenses. If anybody even tries to argue that pulling the licenses was political, they can explain why they are ok with licensing a company to kill Americans.

What a sick fuck! And more fodder for his impeachment and jail time. [bloomberg.com]

mcgeo52 comments on Jan 22, 2021:

It’s a lot more interesting than what was published here. The people who planned the official rally were putting together a legal and peaceful protest. They had a permit for exactly that. The permit was for just the rally, not a march, and definitely nothing at the Capitol. They told Trump this before he spoke and emphasized that they did not have a permit for a march so he should not encourage one. You know the rest of the story.

It would have taken a whole lot more than this and much, much sooner to even begin to qualify for too little, too late.

This was obviously done for the benefit of the Republicans in the Senate. I hope they see through the hypocrisy, and are as offended as most of us are. Now, if you will pardon me, I have a barf bag to dispose of.

mcgeo52 comments on Jan 16, 2021:

While it is nice to have an adult in charge, and Biden is obviously a major improvement over Trump, I am not sure he realizes what he really needs to do. Biden has his work cut out for him. Stop the Pandemic. Stop (or significantly slow) climate change. Restore the economy. Ease racial tensions. Restore faith in government. Any one of those five would be a serious challenge in its own right, but I don't see it as an exaggeration to say that each of these five represent an existential threat to our country. We are at a moment in our nation's history not unlike when FDR took office in 1932. We came perilously close to becoming a fascist country at that time. If Gen. Smedley Butler had been any less of a patriot, there would have been a coup staged against FDR, and it probably would have succeeded. The people supporting Trump are hurting, in many cases to the point of desperation. They have not only seen the middle class decimated by Reaganomics and neoliberalism, in many cases they are the no-longer-middle-class-victims of those policies. The good news for Biden is that if he does the right thing in restoring the economy, it will go a long way toward easing racial tensions and restoring faith in government. The bad news for Biden is that it means he will have to show the same kind of courage and leadership that FDR showed when he turned his back on "his people" (i.e., the Oligarchs) and did what was right for the greatest number of Americans. Biden is going to have to stop being a centrist, corporatist, neoliberal, and become a populist working for the people. If he doesn't do that we will in all likelihood end up with someone in four years who is smart enough to pull off a coup.

By the time we got them separated, our dog was covered in blood, and I didn't see any blood on the other dog. When we washed our dog off we couldn't find so much as a scratch. Turns out the reason we didn't see the blood on the dachsie was that the blood was the same color as its fur. According to the neighbor our little rat terrier did quite a number on their dog. The statement is also true on a metaphorical level.

The Article of Impeachment will pass this week. I am hearing Wednesday. But the Senate is in recess until the 19th and it would take a unanimous agreement to bring them back before then. Once the Article is delivered to the Senate they have to notify the White House so Trump can send someone to present his defense (I don't think insanity is allowable as a defense in an impeachment trial). That means the earliest the trial can start is Wednesday afternoon the 20th. Since it really won't make a difference at that point, I am hearing that Pelosi may choose to wait to deliver the Article until after more pressing matters are taken care of.

It just so happens that Fulton County, Georgia (i.e., Atlanta) has a brand new DA, Fani T. Willis. She is a Democrat, and will be the person responsible for the prosecution if (more likely when) charges are brought under Georgia law. The tape should make it easy to get a conviction for violation of Georgia Code 21-2-604. 2016 Georgia Code Title 21 - Elections Chapter 2 - Elections and Primaries Generally Article 15 - Miscellaneous Offenses § 21-2-604. Criminal solicitation to commit election fraud; penalties Universal Citation: GA Code § 21-2-604 (2016) (a) (1) **A person commits the offense of criminal solicitation to commit election fraud in the first degree when**, with intent that another person engage in conduct constituting a felony under this article, **he or she solicits, requests**, commands, importunes, or otherwise attempts to cause **the other person to engage in such conduct**. ... ( b ) (1) A person convicted of the offense of criminal solicitation to commit election fraud in the first degree shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than one nor more than three years. *So, what was the felony conduct that Donald Trump was soliciting?* § 21-2-562. Fraudulent entries; unlawful alteration or destruction of entries; unlawful removal of documents; neglect or refusal to deliver documents (a) **Any person who willfully**: (1) Inserts or permits to be inserted any fictitious name, false figure, false statement, or other fraudulent entry on or in any registration card, electors list, voter's certificate, affidavit, tally paper, general or duplicate return sheet, statement, certificate, oath, voucher, account, ballot, or other record or document authorized or required to be made, used, signed, returned, or preserved for any public purpose in connection with any primary or election; (2) **Alters materially **or intentionally destroys **any entry which has been lawfully made therein**; or (3) Takes or removes any book, affidavit, return, account, ballot, or other document or record from the custody of any person having lawful charge thereof, in order to prevent the same from being used or inspected or copied as required or permitted by this chapter shall be guilty of a felony and, upon conviction thereof, shall be sentenced to imprisonment for not less than one nor more than **ten years** or to pay a fine not to exceed $100,000.00, or both. ( b ) Any person who willfully neglects or refuses, within the time and in the manner required by this chapter, to deliver any such document described in subsection (a) of this Code section into the custody of the officers who are required by this chapter to use or keep the same shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.

What do you expect to be achieved by this week's pro-Trump DC rally?

I think that this pretty much addresses the question starting at about 3:15. The first part is worth a chuckle. https://youtu.be/q-6eEGFgBvc
