David With The head of Goliath
Caravaggio
"after a fortnight's work he will swagger about for a month or two with a sword at his side and a servant following him, from one ball-court to the next, ever ready to engage in a fight or an argument, so that it is most awkward to get along with him."He was probably a Moron.
There is something about Caravaggio's work that is incredibly pleasing. He is technically amazing...everything looks so real. But he seems to be able to add even more life. Did his brushes go to 11?
Crowning With Thorns
Caravaggio And one more, because he is awesome....

In the middle drawing is that Jesus getting beaten with flutes and if so why does he get his own flute? Also, how did the guy on the left get medieval armor?
And I hope to be the first Moron to point out that there's a 70 year old guy getting breast fed in the bottom drawing.

Now.. you say, "Steve.. what do I say to the tax man when he comes to my door and says, 'You.. have never paid taxes'?" Two simple words. Two simple words in the English language: "I forgot!" How many times do we let ourselves get into terrible situations because we don't say "I forgot"? Let's say you're on trial for armed robbery. You say to the judge, "I forgot armed robbery was illegal."

And that is that Hillary was "extremely careless". And then he claimed that no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute for carelessness.
And then the pundits and Republican politicians take the bait by pointing to there being no difference between "extreme carelessness" and "gross negligence" and that Comey should have recommended prosecution for gross negligence.
But for a lot of LIVs, they will say to themselves, wait - should someone go to prison for negligence? If I, a LIV, cause a car accident through my negligence, should I go to prison? So why should Hillary? (Yeah, I know it's not the same, but bear with me, I'm talking about LIVs.)
But the point is that this is NOT a negligence case.
Maybe Hillary might convince a jury that the first time she did it in her very first week on the job, it was negligence.
But after seeing obvious national secrets pass through and be stored on her personal emal server time and time again, for weeks and months and then years into the thousands of instances, information like identities of CIA agents and upcoming drone strikes and US spy satellite info - this was done knowingly, not negligently, for years. Comey intentionally and deceitfully skirted this obvious truth.
What a sham, on the part of all parties.

1. Jeb Bush will not be President because his last name is Bush. As simple as that. No chance whatsoever, no matter how much money he spends. [OUTCOME: CORRECT.]
2. Hillary will never get indicted for her email scandal. Doesn't matter what they find, how many times she broke the law, or how many lies she told about it, there is zero chance that the corrupt Obama Administration will ever hold the Democrats' presumptive Presidential nominee accountable for her criminal actions. [OUTCOME: CORRECT.]
3. A Republican who has a history of calling women "pigs" and "fat slobs" will never under any circumstances be elected President by the current electorate. [OUTCOME: TBD.]

How do you feel that your favorite HuffPo reporter, Michelle Fields, is now claiming that Ailes is basically Bill Cosby. I wonder how long before she claims to have been "grabbed" by Ailes.
Now I admit I don't like Ailes much either, BUT I don't like Carlson either, and I really don't like Fields because she has proven to be a Drama Queen of the first order.

MP4, The woman breast feeding the starving man is one of the acts: feed the hungry. Wiki says that image derives from Roman tradition. It wouldn't be considered salacious at that time. I think Steinbeck used the same image at the end of 'Grapes of Wrath'.

Ryan, if he had any balls (I know) should call a vote of expulsion for Eleanor Holmes Norton.
Bad enough that she was breaking house rules by sitting in but now she is saying that he dare not punish her for it.
He needs to demonstrate that she isn't the boss of him. Otherwise she will be.
Alternatively, he should call her in and make her apologize on the floor for 1) breaking the rules (as she admitted), 2) for calling for further breaking of the rules, and 3) for denigrating the power of the Speaker.
But, no. Now he is Eleanor's bitch. She can do what she wants, and he will do what she wants.

We had a hellacious storm here yesterday. Straight line winds (or a small toronado). Picked up an outside umbrella out of a table, flew it over the house and driveway (where 3 cars were parked) and landed it in the neighbors yard. The power went out but we had a backup generator that kicks in when the power goes out.
So it kicked in....then it kicked out....then it kicked in...then it had a hissy fit and died. Taking with it one of our AC units for the 1st floor, a brand new coffee maker, a fan/light in one room and our well pump (or so we thought...the pump seems to have fixed itself).
They're here to install the new generator (last one was apparently 12 years old...we moved here 3 years ago)....at the low, low price of $4500. AC guys will be here today or tomorrow, so don't know the bill for that yet. Keeping our fingers crossed that the well pump is ok.
Last year we had a hail storm that required us to get a new roof and damaged our cars. Year before that our hot water heater sh!t the bed and flooded our finished basement. Our insurance company hates us.
We didn't have this much damage living in Connecticut for 14 years with all the hurricanes we lived through.

Why would they even read Curious George - don't they accuse jews of being monkeys (i.e. see them as being as 'unclean' as dogs and pigs?).
I recall reading that one of the major publishers had created a new imprint for Muslim children's books, so this is obviously the cool, new, 'look how tolerant we are!' thing to do. Because most editors look like the HuffPost editorial board: young, white women.

I call bullshit. The lawyers at the DOJ and the senior personnel at the FBI have been working closely together on this investigation for months. The lawyers at the DOJ are overwhelmingly supporters of Hillary and left-wing radicals.
Undoubtedly in conversations of FBI personnel with DOJ lawyers it was discussed whether "no reasonable prosecutor" would bring this case.
Anything known by the leftwing DOJ lawyers would quickly get back to Hillary's advisors and Obama's.
This statement would have been worked on and circulated in various drafts for at least a week, and can anyone really doubt that the contents of what Comey and his colleagues intended to do were known by all since before the meeting between Slick and Loretta?

That's when everyone knew that Hillary was running her own secret data server in her closet for all of her government email business.
And the Republicans in Congress allowed Obama's AG to investigate Obama's Secretary of the State. This same person who is running to be the AG's new boss. This same person whose husband as president appointed Obama's AG to her first position as US Attorney for EDNY. And Obama himself communicated through email with Obama's Secretary of State on her secret server which was then investigated by Obama's AG.
The Republicans pretended that there is no conflict of interest in this situation. They never insisted or used their leverage to require the appointment of a special counsel free of conflicts of interest to head up the investigation and decide whether to prosecute.
Lawyers are subject to requirements as to ethical standards and rules of professional conduct. Some of these address conflicts of interest. A lawyer is not allowed to handle a matter where the lawyer's own interest is affected by the matter. There is a provision in the law today for the appointment of a special counsel for cases in the DOJ in which there is a conflict of interest.
That the Republicans never insisted on a special counsel back at a time when it could have mattered in this case is a "tell."

Blacks are a superior category of race under law. Blacks get preference in hiring, contracting, admissions and other matters by virtue of their membership in their racial group. If more blacks than are proportional to the population happen to be in prison, then the federal government will seek to release blacks from prison. If blacks are involved in an altercation with police, the federal government will step in against the local police because of the involvement of a member of the superior category of race.
Blacks receive these superior racial legal rights in exchange for their >90% support of the Democrat Party. Democrats claim to justify the granting of racial benefits to blacks with the assertion that whites are racially suppressing blacks.
Democrat politicians understand their job is to work this angle whenever they can. That's what he was doing with his yammering.

White people, of course. Born racist. One parent describes the schools:
"One hundred percent of the [Racial Justice and Advocacy] curriculum is what whites have done to other races. They offer nothing that would balance the story."
The indoctrination into this new faith is having the intended results:
Some kids come home in tears, saying, "I'm a bad person."
They say white kids are being brainwashed into thinking any success they achieve is unearned. Indeed, a young white girl is seen confessing on a Bank Street video: "I feel guilty for having a privilege I don't deserve."
Naturally it never occurs to the parents to take their kids out of the school....

Mirror universe Sulu trying to tap Uhura for one. Had a daughter in the movies, for two.

Eh - special counsel is just a way to avoid accountability. Special counsel still reports to the President. No difference.
Posted by: SH at July 07, 2016 11:21 AM (gmeXX)
Under these provisions, the special counsel has control over all decisions in the case. The special counsel controls his own budget and is given his own staff of FBI agents to work the case.
The only way the president can alter the handling of the case is by publicly firing the special counsel.
For corrupt Ruling Class types, it is far better to smother inconvenient legal matters by having them killed quietly within the bureaucracy by their own people than having to so openly show their corruption by publicly firing an independent prosecutor.
This is an important difference.

Comey was on the board of HSBC when they got busted for laundering cartel money. HSBC got prosecutorial deferment from the US Attorney's office overseeing the case when a deal was cut. That US Attorney was Loretta Lynch. Shortly thereafter, Comey was nominated to be FBI Director.
HSBC had also been accused of laundering/handling money of terrorist organizations. I wonder how much Clinton Crime Family Fund cash passed through them as well?

-the Democrats want to attack Republicans, and Donald Trump in particular.

The evidence of intent is overwhelming. She could only get by with the "careless" excuse once or twice. She did this thousands of times, and it went on for years. The big charade is pretending that she did not knowingly mishandle government secrets.
Hillary was in the White House for eight years, and bizarrely as unelected First Lady was even given a major policy portfolio, health care. She was a Senator for years and was on the Foreign Relations committee, where she participated in both open hearings and classified matters hearings. And she was Secretary of State for years.
She knows what a government secret is. No honest person can possibly claim that Hillary did not understand that the type of information passing through her secret communication system was often confidential government information. This is not a negligence case.
It is a cham and a charade.

The only way the president can alter the handling of the case is by publicly firing the special counsel.
For corrupt Ruling Class types, it is far better to smother inconvenient legal matters by having them killed quietly within the bureaucracy by their own people than having to so openly show their corruption by publicly firing an independent prosecutor.
This is an important difference.

I get that but why should we assume a special counsel wouldn't have come to the same conclusion? And if he had, why should we not suspect the same "corruption" that happened to Comey.

Pretty much the same situation WRT any government employee. And that goes for the armed forces, too. If the SHTF, they will not step up to leadership. They will follow orders, too.
We have a quaint belief that oaths to protect the citizenry and the Constitution will supersede corruption and abuse during times of crisis. Mere, utterly useless words.

Because legally this case is a slam dunk as to numerous offenses.
Congress could have insisted that they will not fund the government or will not approve Obama's appointees or whatever unless both sides agree on which person is to be special counsel. They could have insisted that the special counsel be Ace's pal Andy McCarthy, for example.
The Republicans CONTROL Congress. They have leverage. They choose to not use it.
Yes, I agree with you that perhaps the Clinton/Obama crime family could threaten someone like Andy McCarthy with an assisted suicide in a civil war park or threaten members of his family.
But this country throughout our history has produced persons of amazing personal courage, which we have witnessed in every American war. Surely some courageous American could be found willing to do the job.

Are you kidding me? Are you effing kidding me? We go through so much security training to get those TS clearances, and training on how to handle classified material, and then have to pass tests every six months on how to handle classified material. There is no way that woman did not know what classified material was, and how to handle it, unless she demanded to be exempted from the training because she was a former Flotus and Senator.
Which would make sense, because of entitlement, and thus give her the future out of not knowing what to do. And the poor schmuck DS guy who had to sign off on her training to maintain her clearance would be the fall guy.
so, I guess it was a brilliant move.

Just got back from Italy and learned a lot about Carravaggio. He was a member in good standing of the Moron Horde ca. "a long time ago". He painted ...Goliath as an apology to the pope for murdering someone in a bar fight. In fact, he was coming back to be forgiven and HE was murdered on the way.
That is actually his face on Goliath's head. He shows up in many of his paintings this way.
