Too many Deplorables ...

The NY Times - Georgia Panel Recommended Charging Dozens in Trump Case

08 September 2023

A special grand jury that investigated election interference allegations in Georgia last year recommended indicting more than twice as many Trump allies as prosecutors eventually sought to charge, including Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, the former senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler of Georgia, and Michael Flynn, a former national security adviser.

In its final report, which a judge unsealed on Friday, the panel also recommended charges against [several Trump-aligned lawyers] ...

(The courtroom probably wasn't big enough for all of them) 🙄

The NY Times - Judge Denies Meadows’ Request to Move Georgia Case to Federal Court

breaking

Georgia prosecutors leading the criminal election interference case against former President Donald J. Trump and 18 of his allies notched a victory on Friday when a judge rejected an effort by Mark Meadows, Mr. Trump’s former White House chief of staff, to move his case from state court to federal court.

Mr. Meadows would have faced the same state felony charges had his case been heard by a federal judge and jury ... But removal to federal court would have given him one key advantage: a jury pool that was more favorable to Mr. Trump.

The setback for Mr. Meadows is the first of many rulings that are expected for the Georgia defendants who are seeking to have their cases removed.

Mr. Trump has not filed for a removal to federal court, but he is widely expected to do so.

However, the ruling, by Judge Steve C. Jones of the Northern District of Georgia, does not bode well for those efforts.

“There is no federal jurisdiction over the criminal case,” Judge Jones, who was appointed by President Barack Obama, wrote in his ruling. “The outcome of this case will be for a Fulton County judge and trier of fact to ultimately decide.”

This decision will probably be appealed. 🙄

Even though the senior United States senator from Alabama never served in the military, he was a football coach so basically the same thing. His bachelor's degree in physical education does mean he's a deep thinker.

Everyone in Alabama knows God looks upon in scorn anyone facing death who reflects on it, and writes a reembrace poem to their loved ones.

I know that the Library of Congress has stacks of poems written by confederate soldiers of Alabama during the civil war, but that was a fluke.

Don't they know the modern soldiers are there till they can be replaced by robots, drones, and smart-missile?

I like how the article notes that even Gen George S. Patton wrote - and published - a book of poems.

You know Mike Lindell is like the winner of an ugly dog competition.

Sure he's ugly, but in an ugly dog pack winds up unintentionally endearing.

In case you don't know, Mike Lindell was very very successful in selling pillow in the US, until his antics got him drop from most stores, like Walmart.

Here's a just made public deposition where Mike Lindell loses his sh*t in particular when the opposing lawyer mention a hypothetical lumpy pillow.

The Hill: Mike Lindell blasts ‘frivolous’ and ‘evil’ lawyers in heated deposition
...
The deposition came just over a month after Lindell unsuccessfully ran to be the chair of the Republican National Committee. Dominion Voting Systems employee Eric Coome Coomer filed the defamation suit against Lindell in May 2022.
...
In a line of questioning, the attorney asked Lindell about the company’s customer service protocols. The attorney asked what happens when he receives “lumpy pillow calls.”

“No, they’re not lumpy pillows, that’s not what they call on,” Lindell said. “When you say lumpy pillows, now you’re an a***hole, you got that? You’re an a**hole is what you are!”

Lindell’s attorney attempted to stop his client before being interrupted. “No, he’s an a**hole, he’s an ambulance-chasing a**hole!” Lindell continued.

“That’s what you are,” Lindell told Coomer’s attorney. “Lumpy pillows, kiss my a**! Put that in your book… Nobody calls because of a lumpy pillow.

Complaints about media coverage of Posie Parker Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull visit dismissed:

Newshub: The Media Council found it was accurate to report on Nazis supporting her at a rally in Melbourne before the Auckland visit, to note Nazi salutes from some at Albert Park, and the BSA ruled it did not breach standards to say neo-Nazis 'supported' Parker at a previous rally.

What a surprise, Kevin McCarthy has no backbone: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/09/12/politics/biden-impeachment-house-gop/index.html

I hope this turns up with absolutely nothing. Biden's son? He has done some dodgy stuff, for sure - but where are the investigations into Ivanka, Jared, etc? Oh wait, they're aligned to Trump, so Republicans won't lift a finger 🙄

The NY Times - McCarthy, Facing an Ouster and a Shutdown, Orders an Impeachment Inquiry

breaking

Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Tuesday opened an impeachment inquiry into President Biden, working to appease far-right lawmakers who have threatened to oust him if he fails to accede to their demands for deep spending cuts that would force a government shutdown at the end of the month.

Mr. McCarthy’s decision to unilaterally announce an impeachment investigation with no formal House vote entwined the Republican investigations into Mr. Biden with the funding fight that is rattling the Capitol.

It appeared to be a bid to quell a brewing rebellion among ultraconservative critics who have accused the speaker of not taking a hard enough line on spending, by complying with their demands to more aggressively pursue the president.

Mr. McCarthy said he would task three committees - Oversight, Judiciary, and Ways and Means - with carrying out the inquiry into the president and his family as Republicans hunt for evidence of financial wrongdoing or corruption.

After months of digging, Republicans have found no such proof, though they argue they have enough information to warrant more investigation.

Mr. McCarthy’s announcement appeared to clear the way for House investigators to issue subpoenas for the bank records of Mr. Biden and his family members.
