"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?

Oh, Carvaggio is lovely.
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. Posted by: Bandersnatch at July 07, 2016 10:07 AM (1xUj/) 8

What's amazing is that all of the pundits and Republican politicians seem to be falling for the distraction Comey deceitfully crafted into his statement.
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. Posted by: Scalia's Ghost at July 07, 2016 10:32 AM (5xDis) 100

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.] Posted by: Simple Truths at July 07, 2016 10:37 AM (Jh20h) 133

Question for those who are still part of the "Order of the White Knights for Fields"....
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.

Comey added an intent requirement to a key criminal statute that only requires gross negligence. Now there's a libertarian argument that this should be the case, but others have been convicted before without this requirement of "mens rea."
But then Comey ignored that there was plenty of evidence that did show intent. Posted by: Ignoramus at July 07, 2016 10:43 AM (r1fLd) 158

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. Posted by: blaster at July 07, 2016 10:44 AM (0+824) 164

Here's my bad news for the week.....
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. Posted by: Tami at July 07, 2016 10:48 AM (Enq6K) 185

Comey: "nobody in the FBI leaked what I was going to do"
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 the fix was in was clear a year and a half ago.
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." Posted by: Scalia's Ghost at July 07, 2016 11:08 AM (5xDis) 311

Posted by: Jane D'oh at July 07, 2016 11:10 AM (1ZOkK) 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. Posted by: Scalia's Ghost at July 07, 2016 11:17 AM (5xDis) 368

New York Schools are teaching original sin. That some, through no fault or effort of their own, are guilty merely by being born.
http://tinyurl.com/j7awp2k 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. Posted by: Scalia's Ghost at July 07, 2016 11:27 AM (5xDis) 431

The reason the Dems can rant and ramble about total BS and turn the hearings into a greater circus than it is is they know what dolts the majority of Americans have become and the MSM will fully collaborate with them to make them look like the ones "speaking truth to power.".

The defense used by Hilldogger and her partisans at the FBI ("Deny, Attack, Reverse the Victim and the Offender") is very similar to other lefty cases. Stacy McCain elucidates a crazy sex assault case using the same "DARVO" defense. This is a weird pattern.

Defense lawyers across the country are cheering. Posted by: Our Country Is Screwed - Sorry Ben, we f*cked it up at July 07, 2016 11:48 AM (jxbfJ) 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. Posted by: Scalia's Ghost at July 07, 2016 11:55 AM (5xDis) 556

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. ---------- I get that but why should we assume a special counsel wouldn't have come to the same conclusion?

Posted by: SH at July 07, 2016 11:56 AM (gmeXX) 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.

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. Posted by: LurkinRuss at July 11, 2016 09:01 AM (pSoT7) Processing 0.09, elapsed 0.1069 seconds. |
