    And an antiseptic

    My blood should be pretty hostile.  Spent Sat/Sun doing landscape work in the AM and then chilling in the pool with Vodka/Topo Chico & Pineapple...  that stuff is dangerous.  Last night I thought I was just a little sun burnt and slept like shit.   Felt worse and worse all day, had the test sitting around, so figured what the hell...  Positive right off the bat.

    Ricola & Tylenol are all I'm using.   

     

    I wonder if there are cheap flights to NY?   Just kidding I'm hunkering down at home

    She has publicly described what his junk looks like, if he's going to deny sexual relations with her, it seems pretty obvious to me how to prove whether she's telling the truth, but please, please, please, no.

    We have GE and they are the basic ones we bought 20+ years ago. Three speeds, three water levels (washer); several dry features and (best of all) the timer can be silenced (dryer). We've had them serviced a couple of times when spouse couldn't do the repair and the tech was like this is going to be almost as much as the machine is worth. I gave him the 'look,' and shrugged because it really is worth it. I mean, $75 to cross the threshold and then maybe $100 for a fix and given some of the newer machines with the weird agitators and digital displays and I'm good as long as they can find parts.

    The house I bought in 2003 had an old simple washer and dryer pair from the 90's.  I thought to myself that I would replace them once they broke.  Well the joke was on me because they both ran for another 18yrs. (washer still worked fine)   I was temped to repair again, but stuff was starting to rust underneath.

    Looked at the Speed Queen stuff... simple and durable, but we rolled the dice on modern stuff.  I am not optimistic at all.

  5. Fuck this...

    UPDATE | Petty Officer First Class David Elizalde gets 30 days home detention — and chance to save his career in the Navy. "Not because it's my job to ensure he doesn't lose his job," Judge Nichols said, "but because he has served our nation honorably."

    hang his ass from the yard arm. 

    Do they still do that? If not, this would be the perfect time to bring the practice back. 

     

    He's Navy, so they have to dust off the plank. Or perhaps the jet catapult?

    Your Honor, I feel I'm not being heard. It seems you don't quite understand the consequences of my actions are going to have a significant negative impact on my life. Honestly, sort of a big fail on your part.

    Yup, and he is not even remorseful.

    This is as good as it gets from him. It’s actually cover to allow people to vote for it and then make angry noises at Europe.  He doesn’t say “this aid package is bad” and in fact he says Ukraine survival is important to us. 
     

    Don’t get me wrong, it’s terrible but it’s not as terrible as it could be and gives just enough to Johnson. 

    He only said that because he knows the aid package is going to go through despite his resistance, so now he's trying to line up like it's what he wanted all along.  Fuckin prick

    Stupid is as stupid types.  "everything else was demonstrably correct".  Your words.  What was demonstrably correct about "they couldn't find the body because there were cannibals for real in that part of new guinea"  Yes they couldn't find the body and yes there were cannibals in that part of new guinea.  Those two statements are demonstrably correct.  But "they couldn't find the body BECAUSE there were cannibals" is demonstrably incorrect. 

    Lets play this out a bit.  Do you think Biden has told that story before and been corrected by his staff or do you think that was the first time he ever told the story publicly?

    Do you have to turn down the radio to tie your shoes?

  12. Island Nations sometimes developed tribal cannibalism...  Even jolly ole' England probably had cannibals back in the day.

    The cannibals of Gough's Cave

    Scholars have deduced that cannibalism had deleterious effects.  Skin tightening, growth inhibition, increased facial symmetry, and boost to sexual pheromone production.  Explorers who encountered these tribes have noted that the populations looked young for their age and are strangely attractive.

  13. Trump has an unusual request on trial Day 1

     

    A trial as described by those in the room. Without live or even taped audio or video, the play-by-play was relayed to the outside world by those few reporters actually inside the courtroom.

    CNN’s Kara Scannell and Jeremy Herb fed information from the court that ultimately made its way to the rest of us.

    The first order of business in state court in Manhattan is to begin jury selection, a process anticipated to take as long as two weeks. The trial itself, which will take place on weekdays except Wednesdays, could stretch to two full months.

    Of the first group of 96 potential jurors who crammed into the courtroom, more than half were immediately excused for saying they could not be fair and impartial.

    Trump wants to take part in sidebars, which could put him very close to jurors. According to Scannell, defendants rarely get involved in sidebars with judges during jury selection, but Trump’s attorneys have indicated he will want to be involved, either approaching the bench or in a side room. This is a rare request.

    “I have covered about two dozen trials, and I can’t remember one time the defendant opted to go up to the bench as the judge and the attorneys are asking questions of the potential juror,” Scannell said on CNN during a midday courtroom break. “So, this is really remarkable to me that he is choosing to do that, and he will be eye-to-eye with these potential jurors in close proximity as they answer questions.”

    Searching for 18 impartial people. Ultimately, the field of jurors needs to be winnowed down to 12 jurors and six alternates. Around 500 jurors are expected to be called during each day of jury selection, and Scannell said the court would begin vetting about 100 potential jurors at a time in the courtroom.

    They will be asked some general questions like whether they have an unbreakable commitment, need a religious exemption or don’t feel they can be impartial.

    What does impartial mean? It’s ridiculous to think jurors would not have heard of Trump or even have opinions about him. He is, after all, one of the most famous people in the world.

    Anybody so ignorant of world events so as to not have an impression of Trump would probably not be fit to serve on a jury anyway, writes Jeffrey Abramson, author of “We, The Jury: The Jury System and the Ideal of Democracy.”

    “An open mind does not require an empty mind,” Abramson argues in a piece for CNN Opinion as he explains the process known as “voir dire.”

    “We can find fair jurors who understand the difference between law and politics,” Abramson adds, noting that Trump has already faced New York juries who found him liable in civil cases related to defamation and sexual abuse of E. Jean Carroll, a former magazine columnist who said Trump raped her in a department store in 1996, although Trump denies the claim.

    A Manhattan jury also found Trump’s business, the Trump Organization, guilty of tax evasion, although Trump was not personally named in that case.

    The jurors will remain anonymous, but Abramson argues both sides in the case need to “sketch a personality profile of each potential juror.” A person with military training, for instance, who values loyalty might be a better juror for Trump, whereas someone who admires whistleblowers might be a better juror for the government, he writes.

    What will jurors hear? At one point, Judge Juan Merchan read off the names of more than 40 people who could feature in the trial. Potential witnesses range from former Trump aides like Kellyanne Conway and Rudy Giuliani to the women who allege they had affairs with Trump: Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal.

    CNN’s Kaanita Iyer has a rundown of the key players.

    And here is an excellent visual timeline of the entire hush money scandal.

    Much of the morning centered on questions about what evidence Merchan will allow jurors to hear.

    The judge, per Scannell and Herb’s feeds, will allow:

    ►Testimony from McDougal – She’s the former Playboy Playmate whose story of her alleged affair with Trump was bought by the National Enquirer with the intention of killing it before the 2016 election. But Merchan will not allow testimony about McDougal’s allegation that the affair was conducted while Trump’s wife, Melania, was pregnant and after she gave birth to their son Barron. That kind of testimony, Merchan said, could prejudice the jury against Trump.

    ►National Enquirer stories attacking Trump’s opponents – Prosecutors say Trump was involved in approving these stories.

    Merchan will not allow:

    ►The infamous “Access Hollywood” tape – It included vulgar language from Trump, and the prosecution says its release just before the 2016 election helped lead to the hush money payment. It cannot be played to jurors, but it can be discussed.

    ►Testimony from Carroll – Separate civil juries found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation of Carroll, but her deposition cannot be shown.

    What about Michael Cohen? There was also much discussion about what jurors can hear from or about Michael Cohen, Trump’s former fixer and the key witness in the case. It was Cohen who orchestrated the hush money payments and who pleaded guilty to federal charges of violating campaign finance law, for which he served time in prison.

    Trump is accused by New York of falsifying business records when he paid Cohen back for the hush money scheme. Merchan has a nuanced set of guidelines for how to include the key elements of Cohen’s side of the story without making jurors think Trump is guilty of the crimes Cohen admitted committing.

    New York Times reporter and CNN political analyst Maggie Haberman noted that Trump had to sit and watch while all of these uncomfortable subjects were discussed in court.

    “This trial is going to be filled with personal discomfort for Donald Trump, who has often been able to just attack and then walk away,” she told CNN’s Jake Tapper. “This is going to be much harder for him here.”
