This was a great read, with its focus on trying to explain how Nazi control over Germany extended until the very end, even when it was clear they had lost the war. Americans would enter a village where 15 minutes earlier residence had put up white flags in an effort to prevent their village from being destroyed, only to find those citizens dead, executed for treason by fleeing Nazi officials and SS. While a fascinating read, I don’t think that is applicable to the current situation in Russia. I’m guessing, but it strikes me that loyalty in Russia exists only in so far as it allows an opportunity to steal or to be employed by oligarchs who steal. I don’t see unquestioned loyalty to Mother Russia, or unquestioned loyalty to Putin. Unlike Germany, that Russian loyalty is transactional and temporary, and will be discarded as soon as a Russian receives no benefit from that loyalty. Unlike Germany, when Russia folds, I think it will almost completely fold, and fold quickly. We will see.

Westlaw legal research now has an AI assisted aspect. So I asked a legal question the other day, and it gave me an answer that was absolutely wrong and guided by a Supreme Court decision in our state that had been specificallylegislatively overturned. So I told the AI “ you dumb fuck, a statute overturned that decision”. It then gave an answer that was directly opposite from the answer it gave me five minutes before. Even though there’s a disclaimer saying, “don’t rely on what I told you”, there has to be a vast army of dumb shits who won’t do that and will submit briefs full of nonsense. As it is, people have submitted briefs where AI completely fabricated case cites and holdings. I mean, it made up legal shit that never existed. We know this because judges have been sanctioning the shit out of lawyers for using AI and not checking. For a society that has already pretty much abandoned critical thinking, AI should be the nail in the coffin on that issue -
That got me too. One of my favorite comics who did not masturbate in front of his staff.

Christian murdering Negroes to be killed? Evangelicals will be walking around with erections for the next week or two. This will be an excellent litmus test to see if personal family financial hardship will trump attacking Nigeria - or if obliterating Nigeria will win. If Trump’s political or economic news gets worse, it’s gonna be a bad day for Greenland when we invade.

Yeah, The Turtle absolutely meant to make that comparison. But here’s another thing: saying that Trump is acting like Biden is not meant for you or me, but as a comment meant to hurt Trump‘s relationship with the MAGA base. Maybe….

Looks like lows in 30s, highs low 50s this week. Still, we all know how much fun it is not to have electricity, no matter what the temperature. Food over 40° spoils. Frozen food thaws. You have no lights, you can’t do laundry, you can’t have your operation or medical treatment, your kids can’t go to school. Work is closed, and if you don’t go to work, you don’t get paid. The gas pumps don’t work, assuming they have gas to sell. Nothing makes an unhappy person angrier than someone telling them. Everything is fine. Putin likes to tell them everything‘s fine. He should do more of that. if anyone has found some site that tracks energy outages in Russia, that would let us know how many people are involved in how long the outage has been, that would be interesting. Moscow looks about 10-15 degrees colder than that.

I agree. It’s why they say you don’t wanna watch legislation or sausage being made. I’ve never practiced criminal law and know nothing about it. I am unclear about that whole three count indictment being followed by the two count indictment. If the original indictment contained three counts, with the the grand jury not finding count one, but blessing count two and three, would that mean that the second and third counts were valid, and therefore did not need a redo? Because one could argue that the first indictment was legit as far as the two counts the grand jury did find, with the crazy second indictment being brought after speaking to only two grand jury members being a superfluous moot process. And if two of the three counts were true-billed by the grand jury before the staff of limitations, then you would have six more months. Normally, I could assume the fact that Halligan made the effort to get a second indictment was proof that the first indictment was rendered invalid when one of the three counts was not true billed. But she is such an inexperienced incompetent dumb fuck, that assumption would be a mistake. if Halligan’s alleged fourth and fifth amendment violations (using privileged evidence between Comey and his attorney that was illegally put before the grand jury - and improperly telling the grand jury that it was up to Comey to give testimony about his innocence) are found to have occurred, then the first indictment is null for different reasons, and potentially not a legitimate indictment within the statute of limitations for that separate reason - regardless of whether the entire grand jury read the second indictment and voted. Finally, if Miss Colorado is not a duly appointed interim attorney general, she had no authority to sign the indictment, or any indictment, and that nullity would also seem to prevent the six extra months provision. I admit to being fascinated by all of this.

https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.vaed.582135/gov.uscourts.vaed.582135.212.0.pdf Team Comey’s legal team filed this Motion to Dismiss last night, and while not a quick read, is a great explanation of the various problems facing Halligan and Bondi - and his explanation why that criminal indictment should be dismissed with prejudice, forever precluding the government’s ability to charge him criminally for those same acts.
