Eschaton: "Denounced The Impeachment Inquiry In Scathing Terms" - That's one way to describe Trump's letter. The way the poets at the New York Times chose to go with you. -- Can't believe you people still give them money.
Eschaton: Objectitudinal - It isn't the most important thing, but it does provide a simple illustration. Describing that letter as "scathing" was a choice. It could have been described in plenty of other ways. More generally, a reader stationed on one of Saturn's moons who only knew about Our Big Wet President from what he or she read in the New York Times would not have a good sense of just what the soppy wet fella was really like, or what was really happening in the country. And if they aren't there to inform readers... what are they for?
Eschaton: Your Liberal Media - The story of politics in America is ultimately the story of Republican Man. Sometimes he's up, sometimes he's down, sometimes he gets arrested, sometimes a black guy from Kenya takes his job, but still it's all about him ... Bush was a freak, too. He really was. Dumb guy who said dumb things all the time, if not quite as much of a rageaholic. Covering Bush as noble President-King was quite ridiculous, but they did it anyway. The Bush era was completely bonkers! Most people just didn't pay that much attention. -- Anyway, the point I'm trying to make here is that this is just political coverage in the US. As applied to Trump it seems more absurd, but the basic model is what it has been for 20 years.
Media fail: The press keeps covering impeachment through the eyes of the Republican Party
Hundreds of 'pink slime' local news outlets are distributing algorithmic stories and conservative talking points ... at least 450 websites in a network of local and business news organizations, each distributing thousands of algorithmically generated articles and a smaller number of reported stories. Of the 450 sites we discovered, at least 189 were set up as local news networks across ten states within the last twelve months by an organization called Metric Media. (and, hello, NYT)

Eschaton: Process - There's nothing corrupt about keeping the House impeachment process open.

The religious and nonreligious conservative views aren't so different. The former leans more towards "go back to Israel, so Jesus can come and kill you all." The latter is more "go to Israel and have a lovely ethnonationalist state and then we can do the same here, once everybody "nonwhite" goes back to wherever the hell they should go back to." I do not think these views are good for The Jews or for anyone.

Eschaton: Brain Worms - Certainly not an expert in such things, but people who have dealt with parents with such issues have told me that some people get very nice and sweet, reverting to gentle if difficult children, and some get really angry and mean
Eschaton: Better Things Aren't Possible - I continue to be amazed about how much that is the explicit message from some of the Dem candidates. Arguably it's more their *message* than their *platform*. As in you can probably make the case that their expressed policy desires are pretty "Left" in comparison to previous Dem campaigns, but then they come out and are like "Oh no, we just can't do that, it's crazy. What if rich people could drive on roads for free, too? Free libraries? What if Jared Kushner wanted to check out a book?!?!"
Eschaton: Joe and Vicky - really can't believe 20 years later I am still hearing about Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing. Agree or disagree about whether there should be a mandatory retirement age, I am still surprised that the behind the scenes architects of Republican evil mostly have not changed.
Waiting for Obama - POLITICO - The Democratic establishment is counting on him to stop Trump and, perhaps, stave off Bernie as well. But can his cerebral politics still galvanize voters in an age of extremes? (center right Barry is floating above it all and warning Dems to be civil)
Why Bloomberg doesn't care about skipping the Democratic debates -- The billionaire could spend tens of millions of dollars on his campaign without ever directly confronting his rivals on stage.
If Michael Bloomberg Wants to Run for President, He Should Sell Bloomberg News. -- No other option really makes sense.

Millions of Latinos are Trump supporters. Here's what they're thinking. -- Despite his harmful rhetoric, President Trump's policies and fierce attitude have attracted a certain subset of those in the Latino community - 1 in 4 American Latinos would vote to re-elect him ... many Latinos are willing to look past Trumps anti-Latino bigotry. After all, they tell themselves, the president is not talking about people like them.
They Wanted to Save Their 119-Year-Old Village. So They Got Rid of It. - The New York Times - A feud over local taxes turned into a referendum on government itself. But Election Day left residents as divided as ever ... residents of Amelia, just outside of Cincinnati, have been consumed by a fiery debate over a proposal to impose a new local tax of just 1 percent. This month, voters found a way around the problem by getting rid of their 119-year-old village altogether ... shows what can happen when polarized voters decide that their government is so broken that it simply shouldnt exist.

Eschaton: Squirrel - A mistake too many make is thinking Republicans - elected, voters, all of them - actually care about the things they claim to care about. Arguably a big chunk of Democrats aren't much different, but I'm not interested in having that argument. Regardless the difference is that Republican concerns are treated in our discourse as genuine and serious while concerns of The Left, defined so broadly, are not ... The MAGA base basically needs to feel like they're Owning The Libs with a healthy dose of racism. Medicare for Everyone But Black People would poll at 700% favorable. "Donald Trump supports Medicare for All, do you?" would get a strong majority.

White Matter Sexual Dimorphism of the Adult Human Brain (2017) ... In the VBM analysis, we found males to have larger WM, compared to females, in occipital, temporal, insular, parietal, and frontal brain regions. In contrast, females showed only one WM region to be significantly larger than males: the right postcentral gyrus in the parietal lobe region. Although, on average, males showed larger global WM volume, we did not find any significant difference in global WM volume between males and females ... We found regional brain white matter sexual dimorphism, but we did not find any evidence of such dimorphism for global brain white matter. Although sex differences in brain structure may explain differences in behavior, conditions, and psychophysiology, studies that showed regional brain volume differences have been less consistent.
Frontiers | Brain Differences Between Men and Women: Evidence From Deep Learning | Neuroscience (2019) ... These mean that men appear to have more gray matter, made up of active neurons, while women may have more white matter for the neuronal communication between different areas of the brain ... men's brains likely have more complex features as reflected by significantly higher entropy. These results indicated that the gender-related differences likely exist in the whole-brain range including both white and gray matters ... The gender-related morphological difference at the corpus callosum has been previously reported, which may be associated with interhemispheric interaction ... Thus, there is very likely a gender-related difference in the cerebellar-thalamic-cortical circuitry. This difference may also be related to the reported gender differences in neurological degenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease ... the gender-related difference in the limbic-thalamo-cortical circuitry may explain the gender differences in thalamic activation during the processing of emotional stimuli or unpleasant linguistic information concerning interpersonal difficulties ...

And their performance accuracy correlated with the degree of activation in some of these language areas. ...

Dominant or Submissive? Paradox of Power in Sexual Relations | Psychology Today ... sexual submission sites for straight males are even more popular than domination sites ndicates that flipping to the other side may offer its own satisfaction precisely because it's such a stark variant ... "The desire of the man is for the woman; the desire of the woman is for the desire of the man" ... her "magic hoo-hoo" ... whereas the innocent, submissive heroine may earlier have been sexually deflowered by the alpha hero, now he's emotionally deflowered by her. Her Magic Hoo Hoo has, after all, both tamed and conquered him; at last, he may become the strong, steady, safe and protective mate of the heroine's dreams ... (so basically, women make men human)

The likelihood is that they revealed a far longer and more incriminating series of contacts between Edward and the Germans dating from before he actually became king.

Eleven percent said they had only vaped nicotine ... The vast majority reported using illicit THC-containing prefilled vape cartridges and bought them from informal sources. ... Some patients have said they vaped only nicotine products, even though urine tests have showed the presence of THC, authorities said.

But we must be ready to identify other kinds of Newspeak, even if they take the apparently innocent form of a popular talk show.

The answer is obvious." / Twitter

Trump has awarded next years G-7 summit of world leaders to his Miami-area resort, the White House said ... That decision is without precedent in modern American history: The president used his public office to direct a massive contract to himself.

The point is to steal everything that isnt nailed down, and to do it right out in the open, with total impunity, because this is basically a banana republic now.

"I want to give a reality check to Elizabeth," she said huffily.... (get.the.fuck.out.Amy Klulessbacher)

There are ways to make rural areas attractive for employers other than "free money for JAAYYUUUB CREATORS" but that's the best we can do because capitalism means government does nothing but give tax money to corporations.

China, Political Order, and International Order - Lawyers, Guns & Money - China is a highly authoritarian state with an extremely poor record on human rights. During the 2000s, it seemed like the country was very slowly and tentatively liberalizing. This is no longer the case. The cumulative weight of the color revolutions and the Arab spring seems to have convinced Beijing, like many other authoritarian regimes, that the possibility of revolutionary surprises is both real and dangerous

Last year, tech companies reported over 45 million online photos and videos of children being sexually abused -- more than double what they found the previous year -- The Internet Is Overrun With Images of Child Sexual Abuse. What Went Wrong? Online predators create and share the illegal material, which is increasingly cloaked by technology. Tech companies, the government and the authorities are no match.
Preying on Children: The Emerging Psychology of Pedophiles - The New York Times ... A majority of convicted offenders are men who prey on children ages 6 to 17. But women also commit hands-on offenses; rough estimates put the rate of pedophilic attraction at 1 to 4 percent in both men and women. Studies suggest that a small subset of male and female pedophiles have an interest in toddlers, or even infants. As scientists seek to understand how the disorder develops, there is growing consensus that the origin is largely biological. This view is based in part on studies pointing to subtle physical traits that have a higher incidence among pedophiles. ... "These are not genetic; they can be traced to specific periods of development in the womb." ... By contrast, the common presumption that pedophiles were themselves abused as children now has less support. Child victims are at far greater risk of future substance abuse, depression, persistent traumatic stress or criminal aggression than of becoming molesters. The vast majority of offenders deny any sex abuse in their childhood, even though they could garner sympathy in court by doing so ... 85 percent of convicted online offenders acknowledged in therapy that they had raped or otherwise sexually abused children
Child sexual offenders show prenatal and epigenetic alterations of the androgen system ... The findings support theories of testosterone-linked abnormalities in early brain development in delinquent behavior and suggest possible interactions of testosterone receptor gene methylation and plasma testosterone with environmental factors. (problem with their distinction between CSO and P, see above)
Minor Physical Anomalies as a Window into the Prenatal Origins of Pedophilia. - PubMed - NCBI - Evidence is steadily accumulating to support a neurodevelopmental basis for pedophilia ... Moreover, greater sexual attraction to children was associated with an elevated craniofacial-to-peripheral anomalies ratio (Epstein's face)
Pedophiles more likely to have physical irregularities -- ScienceDaily ... left-handed, undetached earlobs, malformed ears, or a high or steepled palate ... For years, it was thought that child molestation was somewhat of a learned behavior, potentially from the abusers having been sexually abused themselves as children. While this may be a factor in some cases, this is not the case in those with genuine pedophilia.

NPR will drum these into our heads until the end of days. The talent there makes a shitload of money, too. And the reason for impeachment isn't to shave a few more points off of Trump's approval rating ... The point is to highlight all the things that are unacceptable in our too powerful executive and, to the extent that this Congress can, draw some lines ... The man has spent years doing obvious crimes and bragging about them. Sternly worded tweets and pleas for Republican Daddies to save us were never going to be enough. Gotta use the power. Limiting it to one thing and getting off the table as fast as possible isn't going to be enough.
Eschaton: What's It For - Things change by the minute, but there's still a sense that enough Dems just want us to get past this bit of narrow ugliness and move on -- In lieu of justice, what I would like is answers. I would like the full story, a complete and detailed account of everyone's involvement in everything ... The whistleblower's complaint is in large part an explanation of how dedicated the White House is to avoiding public disclosure of malfeasance. The fact that we are able to read it today is proof that impeachment is not a goal in and of itself, but a tool for ferreting out the truth. It should convince any skeptic that an impeachment inquiry should be wide-ranging and inclusive of all the presidens most serious scandals, from his apparent family history of tax fraud, to his ongoing abuse of office for self-enrichment, to his well-documented attempts at obstruction of justice. ...

Several officals tracedtheir initial concerns about the path of U.S.- Ukrainian relations to news reports granted by Giuliani in which he began to espouse views and concerns that did not appear connected to U.S. priorities or policy. -- The former New York mayor appears to have seen Zelensky, a political neophyte elected president of Ukraine in April and sworn in in May, as a potential ally on two political fronts: punishing those Giuliani suspected of playing a role in exposing the Ukraine-related corruption of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, and delivering political ammunition against Biden.
Eschaton: PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT - I find this to be Trump's funniest regular tweet. I get that the nurturing of outrage about constant victimhood is a key appeal for segments of the conservative movement, but that has to be a little inclusive. WHITE MALE CHRISTIANS ARE HARASSED. "WE" ARE HARASSED. Even DONALD TRUMP IS HARASSED as MAGAs identify with Trump, the man. -- But PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT is, well, it's the president.

Eschaton: Totally Normal President - Gotta wait to see what all the facts are -- President Trump told his acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, to hold back almost $400 million in military aid for Ukraine at least a week before a phone call in which Trump is said to have pressured the Ukrainian president to investigate the son of former vice president Joe Biden, according to three senior administration officials.

Trump Asked Ukraine To Meddle In Our Elections. The GOP Blames Everyone But Him. : politics
I still find it hard to believe that a minority of American voters, located in just the right places to activate flaws in our electoral system, gave the awesome power of the U.S. government over to a failing grifter with no vision beyond his immediate self-interest. But here we are, enjoying another round of idiot's kleptocracy ... Apparently, all of this might prove a bridge too far for the House leadership and moderate Democrats. Too bad FOX News and its political wing (that is, the Republican party) would rather drown the Republic in a gold-plated bathtub than oust a dangerously corrupt and lawless president.
The president and his allies, from Peter Schweizer to Frank Gaffney, want to open a new front on the former VPs son even as their Ukraine gambit appears to have backfired ... trying to spread dirt on Hunter Bidens work in China

New York prosecutors reject Trump's immunity claim in tax returns case
Eschaton: Only Realistic Path - I don't what the Democrats are going to do, but their failure to come out of the box running in January, or at least the second the Mueller report dropped, due to I think general lack organization and laziness in the first instance and cable news brain in the second (or, simply, we thought Mueller would save us but he didn't convince the NYT and CNN so shruggy), has made impeachment the only sensible option ... The answer to "what're you going to do about it?" was, too many times, "absolutely nothing." (Rancid Nancy and her little group of "moderate" dems fucked their country)
Donald Trump Mocks Mitt Romney For Losing To Barack Obama | HuffPost - The president took a dig at the Utah senator on Twitter after he expressed mild criticism of Trumps Ukraine phone call ("If, maybe, he kinda-sorta did something vaguely resembling treason it might be something to consider but probbably not" Mittster said)

The absurdity of Joe Biden - Lawyers, Guns & Money - Another day, another Paleolithic Biden moment ... This video of Biden captures one aspect of the sheer absurdity of the idea of nominating him to oppose Trump in next year's election ... This is a creepy dominance ritual by a man who is well aware of what hs doing. The idea that Democratic voters would choose this man, of all people, to run against Donald Trump is truly one of the bizarre possibilities of this very bizarre time. ... (#OldJoe #DementedJoe #CorporateJoe #DumbJoe)
Another day, another Paleolithic Biden moment. - A young woman is asking him a serious, critical question.- He grabs her hands. Why? - As she persists, he pats them patronizingly and says "Thank you for admiring me so much" - This is a man from another time. (2020 BC) ... You are running against one of the greatest misogynists and racists ever occupy the White House, and you're going to send a guy who can't help but grab women all the time and says black people can't raise their kids? (and the stupid twitter girls: "he's the candidate best suited for bridging the divide between Democrats and Republicans and defeating Trump in 2020." - gotta love that "bridge that divide shit)
Dem Primary in Flux | Monmouth University Polling Institute - Many see no need to choose between electability and issue alignment ... Compared to Monmouth's prior New Hampshire poll, which was in May, Warren's support has grown by 19 points (from 8%) while Biden's has dropped by 11 points (from 36%) ... "Warren continues to look stronger with every new poll. She seems to be picking up support across the spectrum with gains coming at the expense of both Biden and Sanders"
Mr. Sanders is embracing an idea at the center of Elizabeth Warrens presidential campaign. His proposal goes further in who would be taxed and how much money would be raised.

Holder Is Wrong: Trump Must Be Prosecuted After Leaving Office : politics -- If our divided politics means we cannot hold an openly criminal president accountable while they are in office, and we fail to prosecute an openly criminal president once they leave, then the president is functionally free of all accountability. That is a guaranteed path to a criminal dictatorship. (Eric Holder supports turning America into a criminal dictatorship, thanks, Barry)
Our Gang - Lawyers, Guns & Money - This interview with former Attorney General Eric Holder is a beautiful illustration of the extent to which American elites define something bad happening to America as being identical to something bad happening to any of them. Holder makes the astonishing claim that it might well be a good thing for a future Attorney General not to prosecute Donald Trump for crimes Trump committed even before he became president, because of the "cost to the nation" of holding such a trial! ... The precedent here is of course Ford pardoning Nixon. Holder, again with no explanation, concludes that "looking back, I tend to think that that was probably the right thing to do" (Holder is an idiot, and also, see Hillary's love affair with Kissinger: no "moral compass" or vision)

Eschaton: If Only People Just Stop Saying Mean Things - In that contrast resides something that deserves more attention about the Biden age issue. The question isn merely whether Biden has the stamina for a grueling campaign, or whether Biden will be able to handle debates with Trump. It's also whether Biden or indeed other Democrats are prepared for the massive onslaught of absolutely brutal and distortive attacks that Trump and his propaganda apparatus will wage on this particular frontattacks that you can be certain will include all sorts of shamelessly propagandistic media manipulation and outright disinformation tactics.

Eschaton: Playing to Win - Joe Biden loves Barack Obama. His best friend. I believe that. It's also a bit weird, but I'll let that go. He also truly believes that the reason that Republicans wouldn't work with him, the reason Republicans were mean to him, was because he was black. It is true that the election of a black president caused brains to snap a bit more than usual than whenever a Democrat is elected president, but only a little bit. I remember the Clinton years. Neoliberal sellout Jimmy Carter is history'greatest monster ... Joe Biden believes that he is the only candidate who will be treated "fairly," that his good friends, those fine people in the Republican party, wouldn't possibly be mean to kindly old white Uncle Joe.

Andrew McCabe Asks Justice Dept. Whether Grand Jury Rejected Charges - The New York Times
On the Mystery of the McCabe Grand Jury - Lawfare (not really, Barr is running the Trump DOJ show) ... No media organization has reported that this is what happened Thursday, but something clearly happened when the grand jury met -- and that something wasnt the McCabe indictment that everyone was expecting ... The possibility of a criminal case against McCabe has smelled bad for a while. As one of us has spelled out in detail, this is not the kind of case that normally ends up as a criminal matter ... What makes McCabe's situation distinctive, rather, is the public campaign against him by the president of the United States, who has tweeted and spoken repeatedly about McCabe and publicly called for his prosecution ... there are good reasons to be anxious about a case that both seems far from the sort normally prosecuted and involves someone the president has singled out for persecution ...

Eschaton: Crazy Ideas - Not so sure I'm on board. Seems nuts. -- Warren's plan goes quite a bit further. It includes the cost-of-living adjustment, the minimum monthly benefit, and an across-the-board benefit hike. But that across-the-board jump comes to $200 a month immediately for every current and future recipient, along with several other changes focused on women, caregivers, people with disabilities, and people of color. The $2,400 a year extra for everyone is nearly double what the Larson/Sanders plan gives to its poorest beneficiaries. the Warren Social Security plan would increase average benefits by almost 25 percent for the lower half of income earners. It would lift 4.9 million seniors out of poverty, slashing the senior poverty rate by over two-thirds. And once it kicks in, it would steadily and modestly grow the economy by putting more money in the hands of seniors who are likely to spend it. "The plan results in a much more progressive Social Security system." (and we can't let that happen said the predatory racist nazi capitialist fuckers as their heads explode)

Rice was one of the prime architects of the invasion of Iraq, which resulted in the murder of hundreds of thousands of human beings, because the George W. Bush administration lied to the American people about the non-existent threat that the Saddam Hussein regime supposedly posed to our national safety. I realize it's still considered highly uncivil to mention this, but Bush, Rice, Cheney, Rumsfeld, University of California law school professor John Yoo (2017 compensation: $406,080), federal judge Jay Bybee, and the other prime architects of the invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq are, as a matter of international law, major war criminals.

Rick Scott had us on lockdown: how Florida said no to $70m for HIV crisis -- investigation shows state rejected federal funds available to help tackle a serious health epidemic -- Coupled with the fact that Scott refused to expand Medicaid in Florida, this new revelation helps explain why the state's HIV epidemic became almost peerlessly severe during Scott's time in office ... For Scott, refusing federal money was a bedrock principle. Fierce opposition to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was a signature issue of his 2010 campaign. In one of his first acts in office, he rejected more than $2bn for high-speed rail. He would turn away scores of millions of dollars in ACA grants.

Trump's mental decline is perfectly clear for those with eyes to see and ears to hear ... "I mean, the guy would be worth 13 billion if he had just taken the money he inherited and put it in an S&P index fund. As it is, with nobody able to see his books and see his debts he MIGHT be worth 2 billion. More likely he owes billions and is effectively broke.

Anyway, I have no criticism of it all, except to just make a comment, which is that Native history continues to be completely isolated in our discussions of the past, including on the left ... "Between 2.5 million and 5 million Native Americans were enslaved throughout the Western Hemisphere in the centuries between the arrival of Columbus and the late 19th century ... In contrast to the enslavement of Africans, which included a large percentage of adult males, the majority of enslaved Native Americans were women and children ... "

Bret Stephens Compares David Karpf's Bedbug Joke to Holocaust ... That's right, jokingly tweeting that Stephens is a (metaphorical) bedbug is just like the LITERAL HOLOCAUST. This man has a Pulitzer Prize. It's hard to know if this sort of overreach is more embarrassing or disturbing, but whatever it is, it's apocalyptically nuts.

The Megyn Kelly Syndrome Strikes Bret Stephens | The Nation - The Times columnist is just the latest example of a right-winger who flounders outside his ideological bubble ... To understand why Stephens reacted with such fury to what was in fact a mild rebuke, we must first recognize that the columnist has spent most of his adult life pampered in a right-wing cocoon, so he's not used to the rough-and-tumble of political debate. Prior to being hired by The New York Times, Stephens had two major employers, The Jerusalem Post and The Wall Street Journal. During Stephen's tenure at the Post, the paper was owned by Hollinger, run by disgraced press baron Conrad Black ... securely ensconced in a right-wing cone of silence ... Stephens has spent his entire career in one of the most insular safe spaces in America: the intellectual gated community of the right. (oh shit worse than we thought, and speaking of ideological bubbles of stupid idiocy, fuck you Dean Baguet, you knew exactly what kind of asshole you were hiring)
Eschaton: Bret's Safe Spaces -- People have said most of what I would've said about Bretbug, except maybe one thing. There's a reason Bret went after Karpf, a professor, and not some random shit talker. Karpf is lower in the hierarchy than Stephens, which is why Stephens tried to assert his AUTHORITAH, but he's still in the hierarchy. Karpf is supposed to know the rules. The peasants outside the castle are allowed to get drunk and talk shit because who cares about the peasants? Well unless they get too annoying and then you just shoot some arrows at them. But Karpf was violating the rules of the court.

But she's updated the formula somewhat: in a recent piece for Reason, Yoffe instead concludes that two women who accused the former Beijing bureau chief for the Los Angeles Times of assault were still wrong, but splits the blame evenly between their behavior and the excesses of the MeToo movement ... The facts, briefly, are that Jonathan Kaiman, formerly of the Los Angeles Times, resigned in September 2018 after he was publicly accused of sexual misconduct by two women ... Yoffe's idea that women enjoy making accusations of abuse -- that it's an "ecstatic experience" ... sexpats ...

And then tries to get a guy in trouble with the boss for calling him a bedbug on the internet. What a shitty person.

Accusations Against Placido Domingo Divide the Opera World - The New York Times -- Reports of sexual harassment against one of opera's most revered stars have brought opposing reactions from singers, and continents ...

Eschaton: Why Can't Good People And Bad People Find A Compromise? - Of course there are good and bad people across the political spectrum (well, bad people, at least) but so much of our mainstream political discourse is like this. Should we put poor people in the chipper or not? [Serious Centrist Voice]: How about just some of the poor people? For a long time there was this myth that people on the Left and Right (mainstream Ds and Rs anyway) mostly agreed about the ends we were just fighting about the means of getting there. Or, at most, the Ds were a bit more inclined to smooth of the rough edges, but basically "we" "all" wanted equality of opportunity! And prosperity! And justice! And ponies! ... But, really, the conservative political movement, if not all conservative voters, are quite happy to put all the poors into the chipper. "We" should stop pretending otherwise.

Attorney General Bill Barr says there were 'serious irregularities' at jail where Jeffrey Epstein killed himself : politics ("he wasn't supposed to hang himself with the Trump tie we gave him") Irregularities like when William Barr recused himself from the Epstein case for obvious conflicts on July 8th, then on July 9th announced that he was not recused from the Epstein case, and that he was only recused from the Florida case, which makes no fucking sense because it's the same fucking case, and then one month later Epstein is dead on his watch?
Eschaton: Shouting And Shrieking - Initial reports said he hung himself. In this context (not being dropped from a height) this means strangulation, not neck snapping. Dying from strangulation takes a long time. 4 minutes minimum if everything "goes right" which means no intervening wheeze. Needless to say if he was shrieking and shouting (this report does not make clear who was shrieking and shouting)...
Shrieking heard from Jeffrey Epsteins jail cell the morning he died

The Day Jeffrey Epstein Told Me He Had Dirt on Powerful People - The New York Times - The overriding impression I took away from our roughly 90-minute conversation was that Mr. Epstein knew an astonishing number of rich, famous and powerful people, and had photos to prove it. He also claimed to know a great deal about these people, some of it potentially damaging or embarrassing, including details about their supposed sexual proclivities and recreational drug use ... I had contacted him because my colleagues and I had heard a rumor that he was advising Tesla's embattled chief executive, Elon Musk (so, what "dirt" on Elongated Musk?) ... After I rang, the door was opened by a young woman, her blond hair pulled back in a chignon, who greeted me with what sounded like an Eastern European accent ... late teens or perhaps 20 (or maybe 13) ... referring to Mohammed bin Salman, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia. The crown prince had visited him many times, and they spoke often, Mr. Epstein said. (Bonesaw, of course) ... more photographs. I noticed one of Mr. Epstein with former President Bill Clinton, and another of him with the director Woody Allen. Displaying photos of celebrities who had been caught up in sex scandals of their own also struck me as odd ... He said that criminalizing sex with teenage girls was a cultural aberration and that at times in history it was perfectly acceptable ... a widely circulated photo shows Mr. Musk with Ghislaine Maxwell ... lunch with Woody Allen ... Michael Wolff ... Steve Bannon ...

Biden Misdates 2018 Parkland Shooting in His Latest Blunder - Bloomberg
Another day in paradise - Lawyers, Guns & Money ... Asking whether Trump "believes" the Clintons murdered Epstein is a meaningless question, because Donald Trump doesn't have beliefs, at least not in the way that an even minimally psychologically healthy person does. He has desires, impulses, and an instinctual talent for the worst sort of demagoguery. His election as president, and even more so the complete inability of the system to remove him from office, are both compelling evidence that the American political system is in the process of failing in a radical way. That this thought is literally unthinkable for almost all of our elites does not make it less true ... . This happened literally the day after Biden made a couple of similarly disturbing and symptomatic blunders. This is happening several months before the presidential campaign is in full swing, when Biden is relatively rested and unburdened by the demands of a full campaign schedule. And it's happening 17 months before he would take the oath of office. (The sort of cognitive deterioration associated with advancing age tends to be exponential not linear, so when an old person is slipping mentally, 17 months is a long time). ... Both things represent complete and total failures of a system that seems on the verge of entering a historical death spiral, it it isn't in one already.

Why Are You Still Doing Bikram Yoga? | HuffPost - While disgraced yoga guru Bikram Choudhury hides out in Mexico amid allegations of rape and harassment, women all over the world are still giving him their money ... Acapulco is a convenient place for Choudhury he decamped there following several lawsuits, an arrest warrant and allegations of rape and harassment against him. This raises the question of why so many people worldwide continue to give him their money. For many, it appears to still be the highlight of their yoga careers. For others, those nine weeks with Bikram Choudhury were the most horrific experiences of their lives ... the majority of his students are women, and the bulk of his wealth has come from them, despite his alleged predation ... At the height of the Bikram craze, there were 650 studios in America alone, and as the franchise expanded, so did Choudhury's wallet ... "Why would I have to harass women? People spend 1 million dollars for a drop of my sperm." ... Nevertheless, the yoga community (marketed to and driven predominantly by women) continues to enjoy his practice ... It comes down to the internalized misogyny and rape culture that the American style yoga community has always been about .., (he tried to patent "yoga")

Eschaton - CAP's VP of Health Policy saying it's absurd to focus on... health policy (resign then, bitch!)... is just part of the "whatever The Left happens to think is important that day must be shouted down" and the more general "anything which sounds like it's criticizing Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton, even obliquely, must not be tolerated, at least if the wrong people are saying it" and also, too, "Biden 2020!" ... The argument against Democrats and the left criticizing and distancing themselves from Obama is an argument against evolution and progress. Practically speaking, it's also an argument against the left, which is the real crux of the argument that Obama's defenders are making. The underlying reason why the Obama criticism stings so much is that it equally serves as an indictment of these defenders, and of their politics over the past decade."

Eschaton: Bad Men And The Bad Men Who Protect Them - I'm not going to argue that everyone who was aware of, for example, Charlie Rose's behavior had an obligation to come forward with it. I think we understand that not everyone who tried would even be heard, and attempting would be a career-destroying move. Some people have the luxury of taking such risks. Other people gotta eat and put food on their families ... But Charlie Rose? Matt Fucking Lauer? Lauer was a thing maybe in 1995 but we know there's no way he was actually pulling in his salary in added ratings and advertising bucks. Old, bald, and creepy is no way to bring in the ratings, I say as someone increasingly old, bald, and hopefully not as creepy.

The same Cumulus Media who blocks country radio stations from airing the Pete Buttigieg interview. Imagine that.
The Assassination of Al Franken by the Coward Kirsten Gillibrand, The Myth That Never Dies - Lawyers, Guns & Money
Nate Silver on Twitter: "Those "due process" arguments look WORSE in light of this story. Despite it presenting the evidence in a fairly sympathetic light for Franken, it doesn't really offer any reason to disbelieve his several accusers, and his own defenses are pretty half-hearted." / Twitter
Nate Silver on Twitter: "The whole thing is manipulative as hell. All the material on senators recanting their views primes readers to think Franken is the subject of a grave injustice. But the actual reporting gives us little reason to doubt Tweeden and barely mentions the many other accusers." / Twitter
What drove the New Yorker's Jane Mayer into Al Franken denialism? -- In a startling turn, the ordinarily terrific reporter Jane Mayer veers deep into Al Franken truther territory ... The accusers were, in order: A fan of Franken's who said he grabbed her butt during a photo, two women who say Franken groped them at fundraising events, a soldier who says Franken groped her during a USO event, another progressive politician who says he forcibly kissed her, a Democratic aide who says he tried to kiss her, and an Atlantic writer who objected to the way Franken grabbed her waist. ... That almost certainly would have meant Franken sitting on the Senate Judiciary Committee during Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court confirmation hearings, giving Republicans a neat and, frankly, irrefutable piece of evidence that Democrats only take credible allegations from multiple women seriously if it benefits them politically.
Amanda Terkel on Twitter: "But it was those other allegations that made more of an impression on many of the senators who called on him to resign. They didn't call on him to do so right after Tweeden. They waited, when there were far more.
Al Franken did the right thing by resigning - If he could remember that, everyone would be better off.

Eschaton: Trump and Pelosi And The House Democrats Agree - The Squad" should just shut up and go away. -- This is unfair, of course, but Pelosi has been foaming the runway for this stuff by singling out these 4 women while letting a bunch of "centrist" white guys get away with much "worse" if "shit talking the party" is how we define "bad." So-called moderates have been running against the party forever. It's why they are called "moderates." When they tried to unseat Pelosi, the lefties stood up for her.
Voters Don't Want Democrats to Be Moderates. Pelosi Should Take the Hint ... Pelosi appears to believe the voters elected a Democratic majority to the House in order to be moderate and safe. She is entirely protective of the conservative Democrats within the caucus who tried to thwart her speakership before it even began, and who vote with the Republicans much of the time ... When a chance came to fight for legislation to address the execrable concentration camps at the border, Pelosi instead supported the far crueler Senate Republican version of the bill, again in deference to those conservative House Democrats.

Eschaton: Proved Fucking Right - One underappreciated thing is that almost no prominent supporters of the Iraq war think they were actually wrong to support it. There are a couple of exceptions. But about as far as most of them ever went with their mea culpas was "I should've known George Bush would fuck it up." The execution was bad, not the premise, even though acknowledging that there was a decent chance the execution could be fucked up should have undermined the premise (which was something to do with WMDs and spreading peeance and freeance, or something, I still don't know). My favorite was Will Saletan's mea culpa, in which he basically wrote "the problem with supporting the Iraq war is now it's going to be harder to go to war with Iran." War is the thing, is the thing.

Visiting the Concentration Camps - Lawyers, Guns & Money ... A lot of leftists make the claim that these issues were just as bad under Obama. But that claim is pretty disconnected from reality. This is not to take blame away from Obama, who made a horrible mistake by believing that if he toughened enforcement on the border that Republicans would make a deal for comprehensive immigration reform. This sort of thing was always Obama's greatest weakness. He never understood, until maybe 2015 or so, just how much Republicans hated him.

A minority position - Lawyers, Guns & Money - Masha Gessen on the curious logic by which if something is bad enough that must mean it's not happening: ... "It is the choice between thinking that whatever is happening in reality is, by definition, acceptable, and thinking that some actual events in our current reality are fundamentally incompatible with our concept of ourselves -- not just as Americans but as human beings -- and therefore unimaginable. The latter position is immeasurably more difficult to hold -- not so much because it is contentious and politically risky, as attacks on Ocasio-Cortez continue to demonstrate, but because it is cognitively strenuous. It makes one's brain brain implode. It will always be a minority position." -- Kevin Drum makes a related point, after arguing convincingly that no number of credible accusations by women that Trump raped them will make any practical political difference: ... This is how normalization takes place. (evil is the Republican normal, and ...)

I guess that's the standard we're working with now? ... what matters in this situation where children are dying and being mistreated is whether it matches up to what Meghan McCain's childhood was like.

Eschaton: Steve Dunleavy Is Dead - For reasons I don't understand there's a weird respect given to the worst of the worst reporters at the worst of the worst of outlets in America, the New York Post. Maybe not everyone is tainted by their association with that place, but Dunleavy himself was the taint .. "national journalist" behind the successful release of Wayne DuMond, a rapist and child molester who, after release, went on to rape another woman and murder her. Clinton conspiracy theories in the 90s made Benghazi look reasonable. Basically DuMond's victim was a distant relative of Bill Clinton. After his arrest, DuMond was castrated, though it's quite likely he did it to himself. The right wing conspiracy theory was that Bill Clinton sent his goons to do this, and also that DuMond was actually innocent because reasons. It became one of those weird right wing causes that most people were unaware of in the 90s, egged on by Dunleavy, eventually leading to DuMond's early parole under the great leadership of America's favorite nice governor, Mike Huckabee. And then he raped and murdered a woman and, well, bygones. (welcome to hell, evil fucker)

Sure there's a bit of both, and I think it's more true with Facebook, but certainly as Google got bigger its "do no evil" mantra disappeared, and as they became even larger it was increasingly "do evil."

"Perpetuation of racial entitlement" indeed - Lawyers, Guns & Money - logic was clear: The 1965 law, which guaranteed black Americans' right to the franchise in the South for the first time in 100 years, was a "racial entitlement" that Congress itself would never remove, and so the high court was duty-bound to remove it. (bc blacks aren't actually people in the evil racist asshole's so-called "mind") ... If the Court rules to allow the Trump administration to use illegal procedures to add a census question about citizenship for illegal purposes, this would be an equally stark demonstration of the Court's commitment to white democracy and opposition to the values of the landmark statutes it considers "racial entitlements" ... conservatives on the Roberts Court appear to believe that government remedies for racial discrimination are worse than racial discrimination itself ...

Confirming previous studies, relatives of individuals with a diagnosis of BPD had a higher risk of receiving a BPD-diagnosis than those without familial vulnerability ... Heritability of clinically diagnosed BPD was estimated at 46% ... little or no role for shared familial environmental factors. Thus, the pattern of familial aggregation of BPD across different types of relatives indicates that genetic factors play a significant role in the risk of developing BPD, and explain the familial clustering of the disorder ... Traumatic life events, such as sexual or physical abuse and parental divorce or illness, are more frequently reported by individuals with BPD compared to healthy controls or patients with other personality disorders ...In conclusion, BPD aggregates in families and the heritability was estimated at 46%, with the remaining variance explained by non-shared environmental factors. (women 4-5 times more likely to be BPD)

In Defeat for Netanyahu, Israel Moves to Hold New Election - The New York Times - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suffered a stunning defeat on Thursday after he failed to meet a midnight deadline to form a new government, casting a cloud over his future as prime minister and thrusting Israel into the chaos of a new election ... But after weeks of negotiations, his plans ran aground on a power struggle between two blocs of his potential right-wing coalition --- the secular ultranationalist and ultra-Orthodox factions -- who refused to compromise on proposed legislation on military service ... Israelis will return to the ballot box in elections tentatively set for Sept. 17, the first time in the country's history that it has been forced to hold a new national election because of the failure to form a government after the previous election ... The issue of unequal conscription has long roiled Israeli society and politics. Most Jewish 18-year-olds are drafted for more than two years. But Mr. Lieberman has said that the military draft law is just a "symptom" of a broader battle over the character of the country.

Maggie Haberman Reacts to Criticism of Her Reporting: 'The Tenor Has Gotten Extremely Personal'
Eschaton: The New York Times Defense Force - One of the more amusing yet horrifying things is how the New York Times Defense Force springs into action on twitter every time there's some legitimate criticism of something published in that hell 'zine. The defense force consists of other New York Times people and most other elite journalists. It's always easy to nutpick Twitter, as with blogs or the internet generally, and find mean and unfair (not the same!) criticisms among the serious and thoughtful ones, but rarely is the substance of the criticism addressed ... No one needs a newsless misleading puff piece about your friend Hope Hicks, Maggie. Literally no one in the country cares except your future book publishers. We get it. It's a beat sweetener. PR in exchange for information for your book. The tragic story of poor Hope Hicks who has to face a Congressional subpoena which is interrupting all the time she spends rolling around in her money while collecting her Murdoch salary. Truly Shakespearean.

It's kind of a big story that the president lies so much that it's difficult to keep track, at least as big of a story as John Kerry switched his positions on a couple of issues. Also, I think, something Donald Trump has done.

Jeff Session's Grave Conflict of Interest - Last year, in March 2018, then Attorney General Jeff Sessions enlisted his subordinates to lie on his behalf that he did not know he was under federal investigation when he fired then Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe - an investigation initiated by McCabe and overseen by him until it was taken over by Special Counsel Robert Mueller. By doing so, Sessions and his allies succeeded in shutting down a major controversy. If it had been made public that the attorney general had knowingly fired the deputy FBI director (and later, acting director) who'd opened and supervised that criminal investigation, the resulting scandal would have engulfed Sessions and would likely have even more seriously threatened his already tumultuous tenure as attorney general.

Why did the Australian Aboriginals never progress past hunter/gatherer tribes? : AskHistorians
Why didn't Aborigines build cities? ... the Australian continent lacked a high-yield agricultural crop. In North and South America, civilisations were built around corn. In Asia, they were built around rice. In Europe and North Africa, they were built around wheat. In the Pacific, smaller communities were built around sweet potatoes and yams ... northern Australia is fire-prone during the dry season and its soils suffers nutrient leaching during the wet season ... Kangaroos, wombats and possums would have decimated small gardens and wiped the crops out. Unlike animals of other continents, the Australian animals are difficult to exclude using fences because they can go over the top or underneath ... thylacines (Tasmanian Tiger), marsupial lions (Thylacoleo carnifex) and tasmanian devils ... 80 per cent of Australia's agricultural profits are derived from less than 0.8 per cent of its agricultural land. To put it another way, 99 per cent of Australia's agricultural land makes little contribution to Australia's economy ... everybody lives in cities ...

Opinion | The Danger in Not Impeaching Trump - The New York Times - It may be risky politically, but Congress has a responsibility to act.
No quarter - Lawyers, Guns & Money - In my view, Donald Trump's decision to simply defy all attempts by Congress to investigate, among other things, the extent to which he blocked attempts to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election tips the scales decisively in favor of initiating impeachment proceedings against him, if not immediately, then in due course, as his defiance makes it clear that Congress is being deprived of its lawful investigative powers.

After Kavanaugh, that number has sunk by 21 points ... The problem is that this minority of sexist dudes is substantially overrepresented in our political institutions ...

It was total bullshit and you didn't need the follow up "whoa, hold on, maybe not" to know that. The first article is a big deal and sets the narrative. The second article is a big deal and also sets the narrative. Because people are dumb or choose to be and authoritative news sources still determine "truth" based on obvious spin.

The immigrant song - Lawyers, Guns & Money - Another day, another bit of authoritarianism from The Five Horsemen of the Fascist Apocalypse: -- Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have the power to arrest people who aren't US citizens and detain them for months or years, based on past convictions, with no chance of release on bond.

That's what the Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in the case Preap v. Nielsen. In a 5-4 ruling along ideological lines, the Court's conservative majority overruled a Ninth Circuit ruling that tried to limit which immigrants would be subject to mandatory detention without bond (Gorsuch and Kavafuck and Republicans being Republicans)

You didn't think we would have only one Chinese sex trafficking and Donald Trump story today did you? - Lawyers, Guns & Money - "The 38 trademarks include [...] massage parlors" ... "When Trump is profiting from these valuable Chinese benefits ... how can we be sure he will advance US interests in his engagements with that country, for example by staunching the flow of American jobs out from the US to China?" -- There is no bottom
Neoliberalism Has Finally Been Defeated - Lawyers, Guns & Money - Donald Trump continues to pay off for the American working class, this time gutting Obama's overtime expansion plan ... If there's one thing this nation needs, it's more employer-friendly policies! Job creators after all. Have this job and work 70 hours a week without overtime! What a world.

Bill Shine Resigns as White House Message Chief - The New York Times
Shine out, shine on - Lawyers, Guns & Money - Yes, the DNC's refusal to let Fox "News" host one of its presidential debates sure is puzzling.
Noah Berlatsky on Twitter: "professional supposedly sober journalists rallying to fox is a big part of the problem here. Fox is not a normal network, and treating it as such legitimizes it and empowers right wing conspiratorial racist assholes. You can stop doing that any time. https://t.co/VhbYwhjrIU" (Haberputz is preparing for herjob at Fox)
Maggie Haberman on Twitter: "Interesting points you're making. Do you think those weren't visible prior to the New Yorker article, which the DNC cited as its rationale for abandoning a debate it had agreed to with said network? https://t.co/Dhxna81GKv"
phil h on Twitter: "Maggie 'But Her Emails' Haberman Backs Trump On Stormy Payoffs | @crooksandliars https://t.co/L7LEWKb9w0" (doin' PR for Dumpster)
Eschaton: There Are Some Excellent Journalists At Fox - But even if there are decent reporters at Fox (this is basically bullshit, but ok), they're just there to give the rest of the operation the sheen of respectability that amazingly convinces all of those other hard-hitting reporters so concerned with the reputation of their sister network.
Eli Lake's Serial Defense of Bibi Netanyahu's Clandestine Tampering Makes Him the Poster Child Proving Ilhan Omar Right -- From anyone else, this would just be a stupid racist attack. But coming from Lake it is parody that nevertheless proves Omar's point better than almost anything else could. (is Eli Lake a dual citizen? or just a traitor?)
emptywheel on Twitter: "Remember when Eli Lake was the chief scribe for Members of Congress claiming Bibi Netanyahu's efforts to undermine the policy of the President of the United States was not a legit target for foreign intelligence surveillance? https://t.co/FE2TCtnv6Z" (their "outrage" is just calling attention to their corrupt genocidal policies)

Campus P.C. Doesn't Get Much More Out of Control Than This - Lawyers, Guns & Money - I am beginning to wonder if Donald Trump's vocal support for "free speech" on campus is entirely sincere: Customs and Border Protection has compiled a list of 59 mostly American reporters, attorneys and activists for border agents to stop for questioning when crossing the U.S-Mexican border at San Diego-area checkpoints, and agents have questioned or arrested at least 21 of them, ... ("arrested" for being an America reporter) ... Not as bad as a sophomore at Reed College calling Taco Tuesday "cultural appropriation," I grant you, but pretty bad.

Nadler and Others Look at Trump's Business Dealings - Bloomberg - Scrutiny of his business dealings is just the start of a long and possibly harrowing experience for the president and his entourage.
Trump's defenders are telling a very big lie. Don't let them get away with it -- That big lie is this: Democrats in Congress who have launched a new round of hearings and other oversight efforts on Trump are abusing their power, because they lack evidence or reasonable suspicion of crimes before conducting investigations.

Most Republicans Wouldn't Support Donald Trump's Impeachment Even If Mueller Proves He Accepted Russian Assistance or Obstructed Justice, Poll Shows ... 62% of Republicans would not support impeachment even if they knew he was guilty. Which is another way of saying that 62% of Republicans do not support democracy, the Constitution, or the rule of law. The majority of Republicans represent an immediate, mortal threat to the country, and we had better not forget it. (there's your problem)

(bc "cellphones")
Marking the unmarked category - Lawyers, Guns & Money - This story about somebody calling the cops on a black man because he was picking up trash on the patio of the apartment building where he lives is all too common ... An unmarked category is present when the category is considered so normal or ordinary in a particular context that it goes unnoticed ... What "identity politics" so-called, has done is to slowly and painfully and partially transform being a white man in America into a marked category ... and then they vote for Donald Trump
Corrosion of Conformity - Lawyers, Guns & Money ... "the guy who'd threatened to sue us for misusing his image wasn't the one in the photo. He'd misidentified himself.

I don't know what "the best we could do" was, but I do know that much of Obamacare wasn't simply some sort of pragmatic attempt to court the 60th vote. It was baked into the design philosophy.

Nancy Pelosi Gets All The Facts Wrong on Medicare for All - Yesterday, Rolling Stone published an interview with Nancy Pelosi in which she was asked about Medicare for All. Her answers were bad. A Hill article highlighted one of her worst lines, in which she wondered "how do you pay for" single-payer. This makes no sense. The United States already spends almost twice what other countries do as a proportion of their GDP on healthcare; we are already paying for it, dearly. Single-payer wouldn't make healthcare more expensive, it would just change how it's paid for (rich people babble bubble is pretty disturbing, Nancy)

Erik Visits an American Grave, Part 424 - Lawyers, Guns & Money - Graham was a very difficult man and a pretty awful husband. He suffered from mental illness as well and was pretty mean to Katharine. In late 1962, Katharine discovered that Philip was having an affair with someone who worked for Newsweek. He responded by announcing he would divorce her. But at a newspaper conference shortly after, he had a nervous breakdown. He was hospitalized, but committed suicide later in 1963, at the age of 48. When Philip died, Katharine took over the Post. This made her the second female publisher of a major American newspaper ... "We live in a dirty and dangerous world. There are some things the general public does not need to know, and shouldn't I believe democracy flourishes when the government can take legitimate steps to keep its secrets and when the press can decide whether to print what it knows." (WaPo history)

In the beginning was the word, and the word was embodied | Aeon Essays - A special class of vivid, textural words defies linguistic theory: could 'ideophones' unlock the secrets of human's first utterances? -- One of the founding axioms of linguistic theory, articulated by Ferdinand de Saussure in the early 19th century, is that any particular linguistic sign -- a sound, a mark on the page, a gesture -- is arbitrary, and dictated solely by social convention ... language as an embodied process can illuminate the marvel of language acquisition during infancy ... English has relatively few; by comparison, more than 4,000 Japanese words are classed as ideophones ... "Eurocentrism" ... early origins of language at least 40,000 years ago. The emergence of speech is a longstanding mystery for evolutionary theorists ... Ideophones move us a little closer to understanding how, through sounds alone, two individuals can share sensual experiences across time and space. They should remind us that language is deeply rooted in the body; that each word is, in some small way, a performance-piece that deploys many of our senses. Poetry ...

LGM Review of Books: Geoffrey B. Robinson, The Killing Season: A History of the Indonesian Massacres, 1965-66 - Lawyers, Guns & Money - Of all the horrifying violence that defines the twentieth century, possibly no event gets less public attention than what happened in Indonesia after the military, led by Suharto and with support from western governments, overthrew the government of Sukarno in 1965 and then engaged in an orgy of mass and organized killing over the subsequent six months. During that time, probably about 500,000 suspected leftists were rounded up and slaughtered and about another million were placed in prison, sometimes for up to thirty years. One of the worst acts of violence, arguably genocide, in the post-World War II era, it is nearly forgotten about on an international scale.

The real reason for the controversy over Ilhan Omar's tweets -- Paul Waldman ...

Huchabee ... Palin ... are Israel's strongest advocates (so they god can kill all the Jews before he sand the fundies to heaven ... none of this can be remembered, or said)) The groups is not "the Israel lobby" ... it's the Likud lobby ... right wing ... Netanyahu (so whwat they are really saying is you can't criticize rightwing criminal racist authoritarians like you know who) Less influential lobbies wish members of Congress feared them the way they do AIPAC and the NRA.

Eschaton: Glass Houses - I'm a bit of a softy on plagiarism charges generally because sometimes it gets into "is this enough of a paraphrasing" territory. I guess I buy the sloppy defense a bit more than some do. But especially when you're a journalist writing a book about how all the new journalism is bad unlike the good old days of journalism and the good old journalists like yourself, and you screw up that badly (bad enough that even I don't think the sloppy defense is applicable), you have a bit of a problem and a little bit of remorse and shame would be appropriate.. But New York Times journalists and alums are not known for their sense of shame, as by definition they can do no wrong. They never get it wrong -- Jill Abramson can't eriously be a plagiarist, because plagiarism isn't a serious offense when people like Jill Abramson do it. Fareed Zakaria, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Stephen Ambrose, Juan Williams -- above a certain level, a public figure is immune to any real career consequences for stealing work from the lower castes.

Eschaton: OWNED - We all get sucked in sometimes, but the theater of politics is just entertainment even though it's a bit hard to forget that when a reality show star is the president. Sure the theater sadly matters, some, for appealing to voters, but elections are pretty far away right now.
Eschaton: ACA Was A Failure - No, really, a total failure. Yes there were some good regulatory changes. Yes the exchanges make it possible for some people to buy on the individual market (though that insurance is mostly...not good). Yes the Medicaid expansion was great. But the important thing to remember about the Medicaid expansion was that it was a last minute *fix* to keep the price tag down. Think about that ... The failure was the exchanges. Now we're supposed to talk about all of the other good things in ACA, but remember back in 2009, the exchanges *were* Obamacare. They were the plan. Everything else was tinkering ... Nobody involved wants you to remember this. And the same people are going to bullshit you in 2020 and beyond.

Democrats demand investigation after report that Trump ordered Michael Cohen to lie to Congress - The Washington Post - Democratic leaders reacted with fury late Thursday and demanded an investigation following a new report that President Trump personally directed his then-attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about the president's push for a lucrative condo project in Moscow in the lead-up to the 2016 election.
Cohen bombshell could significantly change Mueller debate
Mueller might finally have a smoking gun - The Washington Post ... A conspiracy can be complicated, hard to prove. "Suborning perjury," a phrase known to anyone who's watched "Law & Order" is specific and simple ... None other than Graham told us in the Bill Clinton impeachment proceedings in the House that we simply cannot allow a perjurer to remain in office:
(((Rep. Nadler))) on Twitter: "We know that the President has engaged in a long pattern of obstruction. Directing a subordinate to lie to Congress is a federal crime. The @HouseJudiciary Committee's job is to get to the bottom of it, and we will do that work. (what commie ratrucker Nunes was covering up)
Why Trump's Directing Cohen, Others to Lie Would Be Far Worse Than Watergate = it exposed any U.S. officials who were involved in orchestrating his false testimony to blackmail by Russia.
Compromise: Before Trump Won His First Primary, Putin Collected His First Receipt | emptywheel ... Even before the GRU hacked John Podesta, even before Don Jr told his June 9 visitors that his dad would consider lifting sanctions if he got elected, Michael Cohen let a key Putin deputy know that Trump would be happy to discuss real estate deals that involved both partnering with the GRU and with sanctioned banks. -- And Putin has been sitting on that receipt ever since.

Larisa Alexandrovna on Twitter: "1. It is entirely appropriate to question and discuss the veracity of any story and weigh that information against already well established facts, the types of sourcing, etc. Common sense suggests restraint until additional confirmation is available. This applies to any story."
Five big takeaways from the stunning report that Trump told Cohen to lie - The Washington Post ... 1) his children Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr. received regular, detailed updates about the real estate development from Cohen, whom they put in charge of the project ... 4) The new story suggests Donald Trump Jr. may have committed perjury ... 5) What if there are tapes?
Congress to probe report that Trump directed lawyer to lie
Eschaton: Impeach - What choice do they have? -- Trump also supported a plan, set up by Cohen, to visit Russia during the presidential campaign, in order to personally meet President Vladimir Putin and jump-start the tower negotiations. "Make it happen," the sources said Trump told Cohen.
Donald Trump's Presidency Is Legally Over, Pending Mitch McConnell's Acknowledgement Of His Constitutional Duties (Mitch Bitch is deep in the Russian ditch)

He's selling out his country, and he's doing it in real-time and out in the open. This is worse than McCarthy or McCarran ever were. Mitch McConnell is the the thief of the nation's soul
The really scandalous part of Michael Cohen's poll-fixing efforts - the scandal here is less that Cohen tried to manipulate online popularity contests, and more that such surveys get away with masquerading as polls in the first place.

Trump White House reportedly sought to put Pelosi 'in her place' - The president and his team were bothered that the California Democrat had raised security concerns about the upcoming State of the Union address.

Michigan State president resigns after saying abuse victims were 'enjoying' the 'spotlight' ... In fact, he'd been forced on the university in appalling fashion. After Sim's departure, the board had considered two candidates: Engler, and another former governor, Democrat Jim Blanchard, whom Engler had unseated in 1990, but Republicans in the state legislature threatened to yank millions in funding from the school if Engler didn't get the nod .. But Engler's cloak of protection was stripped from him in November, when Democrat Gretchen Whitmer won the job he'd once had: the governorship. That meant Republican lawmakers could no longer hold MSU's funding hostage. In addition, Democrats flipped two seats on the school's board, giving them a 6-2 majority.

The bill was created specifically in response to the Nassar scandal and to fix existing flaws that it had exposed. In the end the only time Mary Lou ever took a stand on anything, was to advocate against protecting children from sexual predators. And as a result people stopped holding back on criticizing her for the way she won in 1984.

Our man in Moscow - Lawyers, Guns & Money - The basic insanity of the present political situation in America is captured by the question of the moment, which is whether the president of the United States is an asset of the Russian government. That is, is Donald Trump in some sort of compromised situation that allows Vladimir Putin and his merry band of oligarchs to manipulate Trump because of that situation? ... In my view, the odds that Trump is in a compromised position in regard to Russia are vastly higher than 5%, but even if they were only 5%, the idea of voting for him for president would be obviously crazy, even if I thought he was a splendid candidate in every other respect. But I suspect about 37% of the country continues, and will continue, to think otherwise.

She is if you are a charter school hack like Jonathan Chait, whose wife is a professional charter advocate. He doesn't mention this of course in his eye-rolling concern tolling post about Elizabeth Warren selling out -- Charters exist to bust teacher unions and move educational funding into the pockets of highly-paid administrators, using the rhetoric of "saving our students" while often not accepting troubled students and placing huge burdens on teachers without the collective bargaining they need to ensure they teach in acceptable conditions ... his beloved Question 2 had a $1.8 million donation from the Walton family of Walmart and $240,000 from Michael Bloomberg. Yeah, it's clearly Elizabeth Warren and her teacher union allies that are the problem.

Both sides: The never ending story - Lawyers, Guns & Money - Consider just how lazy you have to be to write something like this: (Charlie Savage's brain has been rotted by the NYT prion disease) Yes the Democrats can "save face" by not having to acknowledge that they have simply forced Donald Trump to engage in what even Charlie Savage characterizes as "an extraordinary violation of constitutional norms." But the president using the Constitution as toilet paper is a small price to pay if the alternative is forcing reporters to be a little more honest and tiny bit more hardworking, instead of hitting the bothsides macro for the eleventyzillionth time.

There Is No Question Anymore Whether the Trump Campaign Was in Cahoots With the Russians : politics
New York Times Makes Major Correction to Report on Manafort and Russian Oligarch
The Times' Oligarch Switcheroo (doesn't really change anything)
Why the latest Paul Manafort news is a very big deal - CNNPolitics (b/c you know, "Collusion") What we learned on Tuesday puts Manafort back at the very center of all of this. Which is a very big deal given not only his prominent place in the Trump campaign but the fact that he was one of three top Trump aides in that June 2016 Trump Tower meeting in which Russians had promised dirt on Clinton.
One more Russian contact: Here's why it matters ... You will recall that while Manafort was in charge of the Trump campaign in summer 2016 the Republican National Committee platform was changed to remove support for weapons for Ukraine, a dramatic about-face for Republicans and a position that would please Russia and its Ukrainian puppets ... The revelation is noteworthy on many levels, beyond further evidence of the abject incompetence of the lawyers serving the Trump circle ... "The most innocent possible explanation here is that Trump hired an international criminal who was trying to give campaign information to a Russian oligarch in exchange for debt relief, and using a Russian intelligence asset as his go between" ("I don't know Russia. I have nothing to do with Russia") ... "97 contacts between Trump's team and Russia linked operatives, including at least 28 meetings. And we know that at least 28 high-ranking campaign officials and Trump advisers were aware of contacts with Russia-linked operatives during the campaign and transition. None of these contacts were ever reported to the proper authorities. Instead, the Trump team tried to cover up every single one of them." (let that sink in)

Eschaton - As I've said before, too many people love putting assholes in charge because they think the right people will get kicked. Even if you think people (your lazy coworkers, black people on the secret welfare system, whoever) deserve to be kicked, this is dumb because assholes generally don't have any good sense of who really deserves to get kicked, and probably just kick everybody but the most extreme sycophants -- The shutdown on top of the hurricane has caused Ms. Minton to rethink a lot of things ...
