If you can’t do the time don’t do the crime.
Certainly not Frist, but . . .
I’m not attempting to minimize mental illness here, but shouldn’t Tina Peters be considered to have some form of of mental illness with her words and actions before the judge in her case?
Peters was tearful at times during her sentencing but remained unapologetic, which further irritated the sentencing judge. “You cannot help but lie as easy as you breathe,” he told her.
In handing down Peters’ sentence, the judge said he considered her convictions serious and noted that prison is for “people who are a danger to all of us.”
They are doing it all wrong, tell Texans that it will only happen if they vote out Ted Cruz.
The DOE announces $1.5B for four transmission projects – including connecting the Texas grid to the rest of the US for the first time ever.
How long before Cruz, Cornyn and Abbott take credit?
In Asheville we got texts from our state rep with information on how to get help. etc. Not one word from Chuck Edwards, who had been busily sending campaign stuff the week before. I wondered if he went to Cancun with Ted.
Peters’ sentenced to 9 years.
Docks reopened.
Endorsements from Republicans grow. as those from high profile players do as well
Obamas hitting the campaign trail.
Gender and youth gaps growing in Dems favor.
Smith’s immunity brief will go unanswered until after the election.
Independent voters polled show 58% felt Walz won.
Scranton/Claymont Joe keeps successfully Presidenting, quietly and behind the scenes.
Jimmy makes it to 100 and will probably get to cast his vote for Kamala.
Monster jobs report and Dow jumps up.
Pretty good Friday and its only 10:00 in the am.
I’m sensing a theme here. Is this VA Senate candidate related to Tina Peters?
The guy is from the USN, too. Famously running up beaches and fighting hand to hand in the hedgerows, the Navy.
Jaysus.
Complete with a prison edition My Pillow and a matching prison jumpsuit.
Why is DOE paying and not Texas?
The GQP is very fond of saying that government decisions should be pushed to the most local level possible.
What could possibly be more local than allowing a woman to make those decision for herself?
I actually think it’s kind of brilliant. She makes it so the public can see Jack Smith’s filing before the election but probably won’t get to see IQ45‘s hate- and lie-filled response before the election. It’s not like she was gonna make a decision before the election anyway so…
As Bill Burr said, “All of them? Does that go for the psycho who keyed your car?”
I’d also ask if that goes for this psycho too?
All blanket statements like “Let the states decide” or “Let the women decide” are equally stupid, equally simplistic and equally dangerous. They expose a mindless subservience to an agenda and are attractive only because they let people off the hook from thinking. Stop it.
New in PN: Jack Smith’s bombshell immunity brief “In a sane world, this document would be Watergate-level news. In Trumplandia it was a Wednesday afternoon headline that was an afterthought by Thursday.”
Why would the god Sopona intervene?
I had actually been one of those initially resistant to Biden stepping down, because I believed it was improbable that Harris could pick up the ball and run with it so well, and also because stepping down would unleash a flood of “Democrats in disarray” stories from the ever-malicious media. But if this Reuters piece about his answers to questions about the Middle East is any gauge, it’s just as well things happened as they did:
‘Asked if he worried an Israeli strike on Iran’s oil facilities would raise oil prices, he said; “If a hurricane hits, prices are going to go up. I don’t know; who knows.”’
(Here on planet earth, spot crude prices spiked with news of the Iranian missile strike, as anyone could predict.)
‘Biden was also asked why he had not spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in recent days. He replied: “Because there’s no action going on right now.”’
WTF???
Keep dreaming. Ain’t happening even if he loses the election.
