Hardly a classic but reasonably entertaining.

RE: Hamilton vs Montreal Am rooting for Hamilton for several reasons: Evans' brave disclosure about his struggles and for the faithful TiCat fans who deserve a good team. They are one of the three teams I would not mind losing a game to, the others being the RedBlacks and the Beastly Lions.

Trump judge backtracks after court rebuke — legal experts say it may sink his chance to appeal District Judge Aileen Cannon on Thursday struck portions of her special master ruling barring the Justice Department from investigating former President Donald Trump just hours after the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ripped apart her decision to halt the criminal probe. The three-judge panel — which included two Trump appointees — said Cannon, a fellow Trump-appointee, "abused" her discretion by barring the DOJ from continuing to investigate the classified documents seized from Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence and allowed investigators to resume their probe. "For our part, we cannot discern why Plaintiff would have an individual interest in or need for any of the one-hundred documents with classification markings," the panel said. "Classified documents are marked to show they are classified, for instance, with their classification level." Cannon on Thursday issued a revised order stating that the special master in the case would review all documents "except the approximately one-hundred documents bearing classification markings." She also struck two portions from her original order preventing the DOJ from probing the classified documents during the special master review and requiring them to disclose the materials to the special master. https://www.salon.com/2022/09/23/backtracks-after-rebuke--legal-experts-say-it-may-sink-his-chance-to-appeal/

The "poll" is being conducted door to door by an armed squad that looks on as the person fills out the form.

Funny, that Scott Moe has been able to remain popular only by behaving like a non-conservative.

Apparently Trump has tasked his aides to follow him around reciting positive reviews that were posted on social media. What a fragile ego-strength.

Donald Trump Mansplains To Letitia James How To Do Her Job After She Sues Him Donald Trump on Thursday told New York Attorney General Letitia James how to do her job after she sued the ex-president and his three eldest children for allegedly wrongly valuing assets to cheat lenders and tax officials. James called the scope of fraud “astounding.” (Watch below.) The former president, in friendly territory with Sean Hannity on Fox News for part two of an interview, made a wild segue from claiming he intimidated the Taliban to attacking James. He said crime in New York has been “the worst we’ve ever had.” (NYPD stats show homicides are down 13% from the previous year, while rapes, robberies and assaults are up.) “Letitia James, she should focus on murder and crime in New York, where they walk into stores with axes and they start swinging the axes at people,” Trump said, perhaps referring to a man who destroyed furniture at a Manhattan McDonald’s last week with a hatchet. “That’s where she ought to be focused, not on how much is Mar-a-Lago worth,” he continued. James’ pursuit of Trump’s alleged scamming appears to fall squarely within her jurisdiction. “The Attorney General’s Office is charged with the statutory and common law powers to protect consumers and investors, charitable donors, the public health and environment, civil rights, and the rights of wage-earners and businesses across the State,” the AG’s website says. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-mansplains-letitia-james_n_632d7ab5e4b087fae6fec42e

Mike Lindell’s new attorney Alan Dershowitz suing DOJ demanding 'special master' to return his phone My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell‘s new attorney, Alan Dershowitz, is suing the U.S. Dept. of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to get his cell phone back, and he wants a “special master” appointed, just like Donald Trump has. https://www.alternet.org/2022/09/mike-lindell-doj-special-master/

Nope. They demanded and received a 3 million dollar retainer. Their financial butts are covered, but this lot are not the sharpest knives in the drawer.

And now Trumpers are saying that the FBI was really looking for Hillary Clinton's lost emails.

If history is any guide, Jones is not planning to be concerned about the salary cap. If he signed there for a bigger lump of money instead of a realistic shot at a ring and is prepared to float from loss to loss, then he's probably not a FIFO guy.

Trump-Backed House Candidate Argued Against Women's Right To Vote A Michigan GOP congressional nominee supported by former President Donald Trump once said the country would be better if women could not govern or vote, and argued that patriarchy “is the best model for the continued success of a society.” John Gibbs made the sexist arguments online in the early 2000s while he was a student at Stanford University, according to CNN’s KFile, which unearthed pages from his site via internet archive services. Gibbs, who worked in the Trump administration’s Department of Housing and Urban Development, won Michigan’s GOP primary against incumbent Rep. Peter Meijer, one of 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump over the Capitol riot. He faces Democrat Hillary Scholten in the November election. Gibbs founded what he called a “think tank” named the Society for the Critique of Feminism, which was hosted on his personal page at Stanford in 2000 and 2001. On that forum, he argued that the country would be better off if women could not vote or govern, asserted that women are not as capable as men at thinking logically “without relying upon emotional reasoning,” and contended it’s not a father’s “primary task” to raise children, “whereas it is the mother’s.” “Some argue that in a democratic society, it is hypocritical or unjust for women, who are 50% of the population, not to have the vote,” Gibbs argued. “This is obviously not true, since the founding fathers, who understood liberty and democracy better than anyone, did not believe so. In addition, all people under age 18 cannot vote, although they too comprise a significant portion of the population. So we cannot say that women should be able to vote simply because they are a large part of the population.” At the end of that argument, he wrote: “Thus, we conclude that increasing the size and scope of government is unequivocally bad. And since women’s suffrage has caused this to occur on a larger scale than any other cause in history, we conclude that the United States has suffered as a result of women’s suffrage.” https://www.huffpost.com/entry/john-gibbs-women-sexism-republican_n_632be3e1e4b0013f244da138 (Can you imagine what a precedent this would set?)

In a criminal proceeding, the onus is on the prosecution to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. In civil proceedings, it comes down to a preponderance of evidence (a simple majority of proof). With civil court, there is no threat of incarceration, except in a very rare circumstance, but a massive judgement stripping Trump of both his aura of invincibility and a great deal of his liquid wealth would both render him an object of pity and do more harm to his psyche than a jail would. Jailing him might give him the persona of a martyr, but a civil conviction would reveal him as he really is: a ego-inflated liar and thief, much, much poorer than he would have people believe.

Given the injury Richardson sustained and how long he has been out of action, when he returns he will not be up to speed for some time- good news for the Bombers should they meet the Lions in the playoffs.

Trump argues presidents have the power to declassify documents 'even by thinking about it' Former President Donald Trump recently suggested that presidents don't necessarily have to conduct a formal process when it comes to declassifying documents. In fact, the former president claimed documents can be declassified “even by thinking about it.” During a recent interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity, Trump offered his take on the top-secret documents taken from the White House and transported to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla. “There doesn’t have to be a process, as I understand it,” Trump told Hannity. “If you’re the president of the United States, you can declassify just by saying, ‘It’s declassified.’ Even by thinking about it.” The former president went on to offer more context to his unfounded claim. According to Trump, a president has the power to make any decision he desires even without a formal process. “There can be a process, but there doesn’t have to be. You’re the president. You make that decision. So when you send it, it’s declassified,” Trump added. “I declassified everything.” Trump Docs Probe: Court Lifts Hold On Mar-a-Lago Records WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal appeals panel has lifted a judge’s hold on the Justice Department’s ability to use classified records seized from former President Donald Trump’s Florida estate in its ongoing criminal investigation. The ruling from a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit is a victory for the Justice Department, clearing the way for it to immediately resume its use of the documents as it evaluates whether to bring criminal charges in its investigation into the presence of top-secret government records held at Mar-a-Lago after Trump left the White House.

This is only the beginning of the end for Trump and his rickety empire which has been held together with lies and bravado.

Ex-Putin Ally Plunges to His Death ‘From a Great Height’ at Moscow Aviation Institute An aviation expert has become the latest Russian official to fall to his death in mysterious circumstances. Anatoly Gerashchenko, the former head of Moscow’s Aviation Institute (MAI), died in a mysterious fall inside the institute’s headquarters in the Russian capital on Tuesday. The organization’s press office released a statement describing the 73-year-old’s death as “the result of an accident,” adding that his untimely demise was a “a colossal loss for the MAI and the scientific and pedagogical community.” Russian news outlet Izvestia, citing an unnamed source, reported that Gerashchenko “fell from a great height” and careened down several flights of stairs. He was reportedly pronounced dead at the scene.

But he is NOT the immovable object nose tackle we really need.

Disturbingly accurate.

More than 60 percent of Republicans want the United States of America declared a Christian nation: report A majority of Republican voters favor establishing a national religion in the United States of America, according to the results of a survey conducted by Politico and the University of Maryland that was published on Wednesday. The poll contained two key questions. The first asked respondents if they believed that the Constitution allows for an official state religion. Forty-three percent of Republicans said yes and fifty-seven percent said no. The second question was if those polled would "favor or oppose the United States officially declaring the United States to be a Christian nation?" Sixty-one percent of Republicans said they would, while only thirty-nine percent said that they would not. The First Amendment to the Constitution explicitly forbids such an action: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Politico nonetheless noted in its report that "appeals to Christian nationalism have a long tradition in American history, though they have usually operated on the fringes. But the increasingly mainstream appearance of this belief in GOP circles makes sense if you look at new public opinion surveys. Our new University of Maryland Critical Issues Poll suggests that declaring the United States a Christian nation is a message that could be broadly embraced by Republicans in the midterms and 2024 presidential race. But our findings also see limits to its appeal — and over the long-term, Christian nationalism could be a political loser." It added that "much of the support for declaring the U.S. a Christian nation comes from Republicans who identify themselves as Evangelical or born-again Christians: Seventy-eight percent of this group support the move compared to 48 percent of other Republicans. Among Democrats, a slight majority of those identifying themselves as Evangelical or born-again Christians also backed such a declaration (52 percent), compared to just 8 percent of other Democrats."
