If she’s got BMDs backing her, she may stay in it for quite a while to build up a war chest and a network for 2028. She’s already damaged in the eyes of MAGA, so then she stays in it to engage the never-Trumper Republicans and get them enthused for 2028.  If she comes out of the gate in 2027/2028 with a decent war chest, and a network of people in most of the states, she’s automatically ahead of any other Republican.

She won’t beat trump in 2028 either.

Looks like I'm ready to pass my 4th semester of US history exam.

Where do I sign up?

Seriously though, US history can't be just 2 semesters anymore... is it?

 

It took me 3 semesters.

"my wife thinks she might have covid" has gotten me out of plane tickets, hotel reservations, dinner reservations, birthday parties, baby showers, get-togethers with annoying people.  it's insanely useful.

Wait. Are you married?

I just wish it worked for airlines, accommodations, and Epic pass tickets. I just ate $900 on the latter.

Bunch of fucking white supremest pill heads ….
 

When you realize the parallels between the MAGAs and the Nazis are almost perfect. Yep, the Nazi leadership was also pill-popping drug-addled dead-end losers who just happened to ride a wave of dissatisfaction and a xenophobic blame game to power.
Godwin’s law has been completely and totally repealed. These fuckheads are Nazis 2.0, and anyone who is not a white evangelical male who votes for them is like a fucking keep voting for the Nazis and saying “oh, that’s just bluster, they won’t ever come for ME, and besides, there ARE some bad elements out there we probably outta go after.” Words that would end up being extinguished and scattered like the ashes of the person who was dumb enough to utter them.

Just once I want him to be asked “why do you shit on everyone you hired when you were in office? Doesn’t that speak to having poor leadership skills in selecting people for positions?”

They refused to give me a reason or any details about why they were kicking me out.

I was invited to this event, RSVP’ed, and had tickets to the event.

I saw my two former bosses Trevor Naglieri and Steve Stepanek then moments later was removed from the venue.

Trevor formerly worked for Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz but somehow he is in charge of the NH Trump campaign.

——

wow, good to see that Trump hires The Swamp.

So, will anything happen about Habba lying right to the court's face, or is there some ridiculous reasoning about how it's not actually worth it to punish proven liars because something something

Serious answer.  How do you prove she wasn't "feeling feverish" at the time she represented that to the court?  Does the photo above conclusively prove that she was not feeling feverish hours, or a day, earlier?  She also told the court in the same breath that she had tested negative for Covid.**

Do we all rightly suspect that she was utterly full of shit?  Yes.  

But in the law, we mostly don't go by "rightly suspected."  Also, I'm not sure if anything was gained by Trumpco.

Also, what you fail to realize I guess is that judges see witnesses, and even attorneys, being disingenuous (read lying their asses off) all the time, unless it's pretty material to something, they take no action.  It's going to have to be a more bald-faced lie than that to receive sanctions.

ETAA:  Also note that, ala Arthur Engoron, a judge, especially a federal judge, is empowered to make his own credibility determinations in dressing down or sanctioning an attorney for misrepresentations or other bad behavior.  However, Kaplan, like Engoron, is being somewhat judicious about spanking Trump attorneys and that is a good thing for any appellate prospects.  Lord knows he has spanked her pretty good.

A juror fell ill on Monday (I believe), so Kaplan canceled court on Tuesday for that reason.  For unknown reasons, possibly the NH primary, possibly the ill juror, he canceled Wednesday, too, and maybe Thursday, as well, not sure.  I rather doubt Habba dabba do's assertion affected anything.  Especially because Kaplan probably gave it the credibility it deserved.

**ETA:  before this pecadillo arose, the reporting said that Kaplan had adjourned court because of the juror, before Habba said anything, as sort of an addendum and also asked that court be adjourned on Wednesday because of NH.  The current reporting differs a bit.  I don't know which is most accurate.

Habba saying it after the juror was declared sick is like when your coworker has the flu and you start coughing and complaining about your throat so you can stay home a few extra days

Seriously, why didn’t she do this?  It’s exactly what Trump would have done in her position.  It’s partially how he got the nomination in 2016.

I do not care who it is, what the hat says, or what the context is. It could be a picture of the late Fred Rogers wearing a hat that says "Vince Young = GOAT". But wearing a ballcap with a suit will ALWAYS make you look like a cunt.

Fred Rogers in a suit wearing a VY=GOAT hat would be fucking awesome.

no because not doing anything will actually protect your rights when you are accused of rape, insurrection, defamation, and stealing top secret documents.

I think we all assume correctly that there will not be a 1:1 punishment for an obvious deception.  How these things ordinarily shake out is that she won't get the benefit of the doubt for some discretionary ask from the court in the future.  That's how this stuff tends to work.  And it works well in cases where the attorney gives half a shit about their reputation in a particular court where that attorney regularly practices.  Obviously, this isn't that and, as T/H points out, that picture probably doesn't prove enough to sanction her for being deceptive, even though it's pretty clear that that's the case.

God I wish I could get away with as much shit at my job as lawyers do. Holy shit. I'm such a chump for becoming a nurse

Saying that all lawyers get away with this level of fuckery is like saying all nurses are like the ones on reddit.

I will spank ms habba.
 

Alternately, I will supervise, with judicious suggestions, as @safe sex spanks ms habba. 

that will show her not to mess with the court.
