He enjoys losing lawsuits, doesn’t he?

So, Robin Miller says the other bidder for IndyCar & IMS was Liberty Media. That brings up some more questions ...
What questions? LM buys The Indy series, rebrands it as Formula 1 America (or Americas if you want to include Canada), uses it as a farm league, and that’s that.

So if Star Wars isn't my bag I can just skip this right? I mean my kids would enjoy access to all the Disney movies but they've seen them all already, and we'd still catch new ones in theatre. I don't really know if I'd get any value unless it could replace Netflix.
You can get the PBS Kids App for free (using free login from your local PBS station) and get a lot of current PBS Kids content.
You can spend $5 on PBS Kids through Amazon Prime, and get a shit-ton of content, including old stuff (Mr. Rogers, Berenstain Bears, etc.). If you have little kids, I'd honestly stick to PBS Kids through Amazon (or Roku or whoever).
Noggin is all of the Nickelodeon stuff (Paw Patrol, Blaze, Peppa Pig, Bubble Guppies, etc.).

As I said in the 2020 senate thread, I am loving this messiness! Only helps out Jones.
Is Sessions going to go scorched earth on Trump? He is a proud Southerner, and Trump is a Yankee (librool). And it seems like Trump will resort to calling Sessions dumb, stupid, ignorant, a traitor, etc. on twitter, since that's his MO when dealing with people.

To piggy back off what DDD just said: can we focus for a moment on how monumentally dumb this whole plan was? It HAD to have come straight from DJT's brain. This dude seriously thought that blackmailing Ukraine to publicly announce that they were investigating the Bidens would somehow move the needle? Is there any scenario where every American with two brain cells to rub together wouldn't see that announcement and go "uh, wtf, why?" What honestly was the anticipated outcome here? I think a lot of people would have scratched their heads and wondered why now, why them.
And not to mention the fact that Biden likely won't be the nominee anyway.
He most likely got it stuck in his head, from the media, that Biden could beat him. Never mind that the field hadn't even solidified yet. This is a guy who doesn't have very flexible thinking when something gets stuck in his head.
Hell, he still won't let Hillary beating him in the popular vote go. He still won't let Obama go.

I know there's no logic to any of this, but what is the point of harassing the whistleblower at this point? Like if the firefighters are all working on putting out the fire, and a few assholes are going "so where is the son of a bitch that called 911! Coward!!".

That’s it. That’s the whole plan.A little bit of what Lurch said, but I'd toss in that if they could out the whistleblower and wreck his or her life, they almost 100% guarantee that no more whistleblowers come forward.
Their nightmare over the past few weeks has been a string of witnesses all backing each other up. Another whistleblower or two would take things to an even higher level.
Even worse: A whistleblower for a completely different scandal.
It's witness intimidation, plain and simple.

Lindsey Graham is a lawyer. He knows, at a base level, that ignorance is no defense. Intent of action trumps ignorance except in special instances.
"Are you aware that robbing a bank is a crime?"
"No, your honor."
"But you intended to rob the bank, and followed through?"
"Yes, your honor."
"OK, you're guilty."
He's a Southern dandy who has no discernible reason to defend Trump so strongly.

So they are a) aware that plenty will probably be boo him because they don't like him, and b) aware that plenty of college kids love to troll, and they know that trolling Trump will produce lots of laughs.
They would be dumb as shit to try and take seats away from people, drawing national attention to themselves, and hell, maybe the lawyers can chime in on whether there are any 1A issues, given that it's a state-owned facility and a state-run event.

I'm sure that #2 is a joke, but is #1? I realize that's an absurd question to ask, but it's not out of the realm of possibility for rand paul these days.
Head injuries from getting your ass thoroughly kicked by the neighbor are a helluva thing.

Doesn't appear to have an app on the LG WebOS, so I am going to either have to get a roku or 4k apple tv damnit.
Keep an eye out for Black Friday sales - Rokus are damned cheap these days.
And if you get a fancy 4K AppleTV, then you're going to get sucked into the Apple Arcade stuff.

This seems like a bizarre hill to die on. She had to move four times, hire private security, and still is unable to return to her prior job because of harassment, but she landed on her feet, so all good. I wasn't aware it was a contest between the whistleblower and Blasey Ford as to who can be treated worse. Hell, let's add in Anita Hill and the owners of Ping Pong Pizza while we're at it.
This treatment isn't okay whether it's a few months or a few years. And the trump era GOP seems hellbent on riling up its base to go after their "enemies," whether real or made up.
My comment was that the shitstorm she faced over those months will be nothing like the whistleblower's shitstorm, and I do think somebody will make a serious attempt at killing said whistleblower or somebody close to him.
Trump just has too large of a personality cult.

Who's got a Texags sock that can somehow credibly link the whistleblower and Randolph Duke? They would rage-jerk themselves off to the point of aneurysms.

I mean.. is there any point to Netflix for those of us with 2 under 5?
If they've already seen Orange is the New Black, then no.
Toss in the Hulu add-on as well.

Wait, what? Am I late to the reveal? Link please.
You serious Clark? They've been harassing people they think are @Randolph Duke for years, going back to probably before Shaggy. A lot of it's online, but if I recall, they were trying to mess with some people in real life.
If the whistleblower's name is leaked, TexAgs will probably ignore Randolph Duke for quite a long time while they go after the whistleblower.

I think this is what you're saying, but every state legislature that flips should make un-gerrymandering their very first priority. And I mean that in all sincerity. Don't just gerrymander it back the other way. Don't look at party affiliation, race, wealth, anything. Take your total population, determine what number makes a district "even," then put it in a computer that draws the lines based on population in as close to a square shape as possible. You may end up with some weird districts along the edges of big cities where they may extend relatively far into a rural area where the constituent base has significantly different interests, but that's better than the current bullshit. Then establish strong rules to make it really cumbersome to change districting in the future.
Redistricting will be on everybody's mind because of the census next year.

What's scary is the admission from Ed that the cartels are not "over there" - they are here. Have been for decades. In every state. In most large towns/cities. To spark a war with them would invoke domestic terrorism on a scale most can't really imagine.
The very last thing the cartels could ever want, would be an open war with the US. All those fancy estates, armored vehicles, planes, boats, etc.? Gone within days. Want the US border actually shut down? Would happen pretty quick.
These aren't dudes hiding out in cave complexes in the foothills of the Himalayas. And unlike the Taliban and Al Qaeda types, their followers aren't of the true believer type - they are bought and paid for. Their loyalty evaporates the moment the cartels can no longer pay them, provide them women, etc.

That would be a cool Netflix series. If the Mormons had a group like the Jews have the Mossad that went out and did black ops stuff for them. That is a hit show right there.
The CIA (and FBI) does have a disproportionate number of Mormons in its ranks (apparently their language skills, abstinence, and obedience to authority are A Big Deal). So the ingredients are there.

And I do think there is a very good chance somebody (several somebodies) makes a few runs at trying to kill the whistleblower and harm their family if they are revealed.
It won't be like Blasey-Ford's threats, or TexAgs posters harassing random people they think are Randolph Duke.
If they can identify their family, could easily see one of these nuts killing/injuring the whistleblower's parent(s) or sibling(s).

Man, this is waaay off. The right is still incensed over the Kavanaugh thing and Blasey Ford still gets death threats. She probably will for the rest of her life. A ton of people are still wholly committed to a white male patriarchy and she directly and very publicly challenged that.
3 hours ago, lemonlime said:She has not been able to go back to her job as a professor, and has to pay for private security because she's still receiving death threats. And she's had to move four times.
All of that happened to her prior to November 2018 (although I'm sure she occasionally gets harassed online, incels have a lot of free time). And she didn't lose her job - the university said it's a just a matter of when/if she decides to go back.
But where is she in 2019? And how long did her experience last?
Well, last week, she was giving a public speech after accepting an award at her local YMCA. She was accompanied by her massive security detail son.
And what did she say of her ordeal? Well, she mentioned it while paying tribute to civil rights activist Dolores Huerta:
"My experience lasted only a few months. Dolores, your entire life is an inspiration."
Now, I could be wrong, but I'm willing to bet that if the whistleblower is outted, a year from now they won't be publicly accepting an award from their fucking local YMCA, accompanied by their child.
And again, I could be wrong, but I'm willing to bet that the whistleblower is not going to parrot Blasey-Ford's comment of "My experience lasted only a few months."
Because Kavanaugh doesn't have a cult of personality around him like Trump does. Kavanaugh wasn't on twitter screaming "DO SOMETHING!". Kavanaugh still made it to the USSC.
But this? This is kind of leaving a bit of a mark on Trump. This is going to help see him get his ass kicked at the voting booth next year. This could see his family (and fortune) drastically affected. This is going to see him on twitter barking out orders to his legion of incels and MAGATs to do "DO SOMETHING!"

A lot. The Department of Justice ruling that the call was good. That we don’t have freedom of the press. Those two stand out.
