Ace, you've probably seen this, but there's a really good #walkaway video on YouTube, at the moment at least -- if you google "I was wrong about the Democratic Party, Georgia" you'll find it.
Georgia is the young woman's name, and she does a great job of explaining how they lost her. She started out in education, then went into nursing, and went from committed progressive to conservative. Posted by: Pastafarian at October 12, 2020 07:40 PM (sgHEm) 9

Libertarian party will probably get their usual number of votes, around 1 million. Johnson very much over performed, helped by being the place where people who didn't want to vote for Clinton or Trump parked their votes.
Some of those voters won't vote. But the majority of that 3 million or so will probably go to Trump. His antiwar actions have resonated pretty strongly with the libertarians. They all love Rand Paul, and Trump has adopted a lot of his policies. I would guess that Trump picks up 2 million votes nationwide just from that block.

Ace, you've probably seen this, but there's a really good #walkaway video on YouTube, at the moment at least -- if you google "I was wrong about the Democratic Party, Georgia" you'll find it.
Georgia is the young woman's name, and she does a great job of explaining how they lost her. She started out in education, then went into nursing, and went from committed progressive to conservative. Posted by: Pastafarian at October 12, 2020 07:40 PM (sgHEm) my uncle sent that vid to me. Verrrrry long, but very well thought out. Also, I noticed she's not wearing a ring... hmmmm...

For the most part, Biden's people don't want crowds at his appearances, do they? They must be actively keeping non-media people away to hide Joe's deterioration.

I've been wondering. If Trump wins, does Rush call it quits, and enjoy retirement?
Posted by: Swingin' for the downs at October 12, 2020 08:01 PM (Tyx6P) No, because he loves radio too much. Rush is the type that if you ever hear him say "I'm going to retire from radio", you can bet he won't live long afterwards. It's that important to him. I'd argue this is what is getting him through his treatments. Posted by: Catch Thirty-Thr33 at October 12, 2020 08:07 PM (3DJkT) 206

From James' side, maybe he'll pick up black votes by not identifying as Republican. From Peter's side, do you really want to identify as a Dem after what the governor is doing? I'm across the river in Canada, but Peters had some ads that made me think he was the Republican until I saw James ads. Posted by: Stateless Infidel at October 12, 2020 08:10 PM (v2c9/) 228

Lucky to spend a fair amount of time in Italy, though all in the central/Rome area - so lots to go do still. And of course had lots of amazing food.
But the funny thing, one of the items I remember best was a sandwich from a little deli attached to a gas station near Fiumicino (name of the Rome airport, and of a seaside town with decent beaches). It was incredible. We picked up the food quickly on the way to the beach on a beautiful September afternoon. Just a sandwich - but the ingredients.

Posted by: Moonbeam at October 12, 2020 08:32 PM (qe5CM) Exactly. It is not a difficult concept. I've explained it to dubious people this way: Congress had to make a decision -- if someone has a huge loss, should they have to take it all at once, or should they be able to spread it out? The practical implication is this: let's say you have a building that you bought for $1,000,000, and were super stoked to develop in to apartments. However, during the process, you discovered that the building is full of mold and is falling apart. It turned out to be a poor investment. Should Congress incentivize you to just write it off, and demolish the building and restart? Or, should you be incentivized to hold on to it, pay the taxes, and write off the losses every year? Keep in mind that one answer leads to economic efficiency, and new development, and will lower the cost of rent for everyone, and the other leads to economic inefficiency, waste, and urban blight, especially in communities that need affordable housing.

He said he couldn't vote for Ford because he pardoned Nixon. Fair enough. Much more cordial exchange than one would have nowadays. Posted by: Splunge Yeah, I voted for Carter in my first Presidential election. He seemed smarter than he actually was. Full of ideas, of which he really was able to do almost nothing.

But you would have to invert the propane tank to get liquid, not gas to flow out.

Posted by: Circa (Insert Year Here) at October 12, 2020 08:51 PM (JCrfD) What is going on is the same old tired crap that has gone on forever in the Church. People are sinning. Some of them are priests. But people, first. Satan only goes hard after that which he cannot have. Nothing pisses him off more than seeing a Church that still exists, after all this time, and calls him out every day. So, he goes after low hanging fruit (fruits?) who have found their way into the priesthood, and then shows them to everyone hoping the Church will fail. It doesn't. So, he tries again. Sometime read the history of the Borgias and the Church. Always the same garbage. Posted by: tcn in AK at October 12, 2020 08:55 PM (qQnCr) 448

It's a bad singing comedy act and they got their start on Jack Benny, if I read correctly. It takes to talent to sing badly and make it funny.

In the meantime, he killed ACORN and Robert Creemer had to quit in disgrace (try finding that anywhere). He's also gotten more than a few other staffers fired. He's made full videos available for years. He's gotten what, 350 retractions? And over a dozen law suits, all won. Now, he's going after the NYT for slandering his work on the ballot harvesting.

O'Keefe is one of the only true journalists out there, and a huge thorn in the side of the left.
Posted by: clutch cargo at October 12, 2020 09:08 PM (8B6Ng) Yes, he is that. This was the specific question about his influence, and in the course of an hour or so long discussion, it was the one point on which I think James was not really able to see his own weakness. And I think that's where I am with it. He releases stuff, and people get picked off one by one. It's not going to change anything like votes though. So I kind of look at these "this is about to drop" stories with a shrug. Posted by: BurtTC at October 12, 2020 09:12 PM (hku12) 536
Sorry to hear, Nip. There are few things harder than losing a beloved pet. When we lose a loved one the grief is so overwhelming that we go numb. I believe this is a mercy. That strange calm feeling is a sort of shield that our soul throws up to keep us from being utterly destroyed by the loss. There is no such shield of numbness when we lose a pet. When I lost my father, and much later, my mother I did not break down in uncontrollable weeping.
When I found my dear old Booger the Cat killed in the yard, I broke down like a three year old. Look up Rudyard Kipling's "The Power of the Dog". It will hurt bad, but it will also help. JWM Posted by: jwm at October 12, 2020 09:12 PM (HnUoF) 537

"if there was any chance Bobama might have won Missouri, I'd have probably pulled the lever for Mitt the Masshole."
I dutifully voted for both Bushes, Dole, McCain and Romney before it finally dawned on me that, duh, voting for a GOP presidential candidate in dark blue IL has about as much impact on the electoral outcome as spitting into a Category 5 hurricane has on its wind speed. So I saw no need to force myself to vote for Trump last time around given that the IL electoral vote was in the bag for Hillary regardless. However, now that the Left has made such a big deal out of the popular vote I'm determined to vote for him to show support even if it does ultimately make no difference in the electoral outcome.

"Roman law. " That's a hot one. Anyone here willing to live under it? We don't have Roman law, or the Hummurabic code, or Napoleonic law. Our system of laws is English. Only slaves lived under Roman law.
De Romani, fidem non habete. Romani ani sunt. Posted by: Way, Way Downriver at October 12, 2020 08:58 PM (zMFmR) Acually - Roman law culminated in the Code of Justinian, mid 6th Century. Justinian's code was mostly a compilation of existing Roman law, and with all of its business law and contract provisions, was actually far too advanced for the next 1000 years of European history. The Napoleonic Code was essentially an updated rewrite of Justinian's code, and replaced Feudal Law across Europe. In effect, most of the non-English speaking nations of Europe and the Americas now use an updated and modified version of old Roman law. Posted by: Tom Servo at October 12, 2020 09:20 PM (V2Yro) 593

They've been unlocking some of the secretes of Roman concrete. A big find was aluminum tobermorite, which is one of the magic ingredients. That's very difficult to make in the lab, but seawater would react with Roman concrete over time to form it, and this made it grow stronger with time, not weaker.

Roman law has significant influence on canon law which in turn has influenced English law by the concept of chancery (also known as equity). The English system had dueling court systems for part of its history--chancery and common law courts and some states actually had that bifurcation as well.
Common law was also altered by the passages of codes, etc. that led to a more civil law direction while civil law countries have adopted bits and pieces of common law jurisprudence. The link between Roman law and laws in Western Europe was through the Roman Catholic Church which gave lawyers its lingua franca (Latin) and literacy as well as preservation of Roman law in its churches, monasteries, and the Vatican.

Not sure how Louisianne exactly does things, but generally, if you're guilty, you want to be in a common law (jury) trial, if innocent, and in a place with a decent judiciary, civil trial's the way to go.

He also rejected Republicans' fears of voter fraud, saying it's possible but not proven likely.
"While Plaintiffs may not need to prove actual voter fraud, they must at least prove that such fraud is 'certainly impending.' They haven't met that burden. At most, they have pieced together a sequence of uncertain assumptions," Ranjan wrote in the 138-page opinion. What an imbecilic paragraph. So we take a chance that it might not happen, in spite of ballots being thrown away in ditches already this election season.

@658: "She appears to have this fantasy that if Biden wins somehow the 'reasonable' 'moderate' lib voices will be heard."
I know more than a few non-neo-Marxist academic types who have fallen under the same spell. It's a desperate need to believe that things can somehow "go back to normal" and Biden's election is the only way outta current troubles. I ask those people what they expect to happen when white cop shoots a black suspect three months into Biden's first term, but then I get accused of emotional ransom and pessimism.

I voted for Dukakis. By absentee ballot and paid for overnight mail. Only consolation is that it probably didnt get there on time. I was young and stooopid. I lived in MA when Dukakis was governor. He has the charisma of a doorknob. He was a good local machine Democrat but he inspired nobody. There was a very popular bumpersticker in MA after he announced that had a drawing of a guy laughing hysterically and the words "Dukakis for what?".

--------------- I, as a rule, hate to reveal my ignorance, but for me to understand, you will need to unpack that. Posted by: irright at October 12, 2020 09:32 PM (RVcmP) Sorry, that's my fault. All analogy without clear context. Weinstein's position with James O'Keefe is that James is doing some good things, exposing those who need to be exposed. The problem is, not just with the extreme left, but LOT of otherwise receptive people have decided James O'Keefe is poisoned waters. So they ignore anything James says. So it's like the ex-friend who won't listen to you. People who might OTHERWISE be willing to listen to the info that James is uncovering, won't listen because it's coming from him. So Eric Weinstein proposed, "why not give the info to someone else who can release it, and it won't be "tainted" by having come from you? James was pretty much unwilling to consider such a thing. Which I understand, but still, he is somewhat undermining his own work by not figuring out how to get this stuff out there some other way. Posted by: BurtTC at October 12, 2020 09:38 PM (hku12) 690
My first presidential vote was for Bill Clinton in 1992. I still maintain that if the Bill Clinton who got elected would have been the same guy as the Bill Clinton who had run for office, he would have been fine... but that was when I finally learned what "bait and switch" really meant. I voted for Perot in '96 because I knew we were doomed anyway, and because he was a proto-Trump, a finger in everybody's eye.

Posted by: Weaning is hard at October 12, 2020 09:48 PM (2DOZq) Not true. In 1990 when Boooosh was trying to get the Dems to vote for his Iraq war, they took to the House chamber and said they couldn't do it, without raising taxes. So he agreed to raise taxes. And two years later, when Dickie Gephardt was running for President, he said Boooosh was a scoundrel for raising taxes. Didn't do dick for Dickie, but it sure stuck with most voters that year.

Weinstein's position with James O'Keefe is that James is doing some good things, exposing those who need to be exposed. The problem is, not just with the extreme left, but LOT of otherwise receptive people have decided James O'Keefe is poisoned waters. So they ignore anything James says. So it's like the ex-friend who won't listen to you. People who might OTHERWISE be willing to listen to the info that James is uncovering, won't listen because it's coming from him. So Eric Weinstein proposed, "why not give the info to someone else who can release it, and it won't be "tainted" by having come from you? James was pretty much unwilling to consider such a thing. Which I understand, but still, he is somewhat undermining his own work by not figuring out how to get this stuff out there some other way. Posted by: BurtTC at October 12, 2020 09:38 PM (hku12) --------------------------- I must agree with Oldcat and argue (not with you, but Weinstein). I do not believe there is a "believable" source that would be accepted by Weinstien nor the audience he wishes to convince, that anything that originated with O'Keefe can be believed. I do not believe Weinstein understands the left, nor the gap that exists between them and anyone "not of the body". Posted by: irright at October 12, 2020 09:54 PM (RVcmP) 755

I think he's gone silent, last I checked. I think he's really struggling with the Trump thing. Everything in his life experience tells him to reject Trump, but reality is sure hitting him square in the face this year.
Posted by: BurtTC at October 12, 2020 09:20 PM (hku12) No respect at all. The system he made nearly had him killed by a mob of his mindless students, and he ended up driven out by threats of his family. He makes some worthless tut-tut talks on YouTube for a bit and that is supposed to cover for the decades where he and his ilk gave an inch after inch to the raving lunatics selling a system that has killed millions without even a mumur of protest. But somehow Trump is the bad one. This is the world you made Weinstein. Posted by: Oldcat at October 12, 2020 09:51 PM (eoQWY) Wrong Weinstein. That's his brother, Bret. Eric basically blasted his own brother to his face, trying to explain this to him, and Bret was too stubborn to even hear it. Posted by: BurtTC at October 12, 2020 09:55 PM (hku12) 760
Weinstein is the Intellectual, yet idiot, as Nik Taleb wrote about. And yet he's been mugged by his own side, so that made him realize that something was wrong with his thinking. But I'm sure he still believes Leftism is right, it's just being done wrong.

One way would be for me to ask somebody else to give it to you, since you don't trust it coming from me.
If that main purpose is to get you the info, then that's a wiser approach than me trying and trying to convince you to listen to me. Posted by: BurtTC at October 12, 2020 09:47 PM (hku12) O'Keefe isn't telling any one any thing. He is showing actual film of people bragging about legal and moral corruption. What is there to dispute for a sane person? They are rejecting the info because it is true, not because of the source. Posted by: Oldcat at October 12, 2020 09:57 PM (eoQWY) 768

He also rejected Republicans' fears of voter fraud, saying it's possible but not proven likely.
"While Plaintiffs may not need to prove actual voter fraud, they must at least prove that such fraud is 'certainly impending.' They haven't met that burden. At most, they have pieced together a sequence of uncertain assumptions," Ranjan wrote in the 138-page opinion. What an imbecilic paragraph. So we take a chance that it might not happen, in spite of ballots being thrown away in ditches already this election season. Not to mention: did the Pennsylvania legislature vote for mail-in ballots, or was this merely a unilateral decision from on high by Wolfe. Dear God, let this get to SCOTUS and quick, so ACB can drum some Constitutional law into the heads of these lower court judges. Posted by: Marybeth at October 12, 2020 09:34 PM (4pK1/) THIS YEAR, an election in Paterson NY, a stones throw from PA was rejected when well over 20 percent of the votes were fraudulent and massive numbers did not get their ballots.

766, Jonah, not quite right, an independent prosecutor was appointed to investigate Iran Contra in 1986, Lawrence Walsh. Apparently Lawrence was a nutjob and despite losing cases in appellate court versus Ollie North and John Poindexter, pursued the good guy, Caspar Weinberger who as SecDef opposed the whole Iran Contra trade in the first place. Walsh got his indictment but Bush pardoned him after the election.
Like usual, the special prosecutors were seeking process crimes of obstruction and lying to Congress. Posted by: whig at October 12, 2020 10:07 PM (OLiBJ) 804

Posted by: buzzion at October 12, 2020 10:05 PM (vMCab) There are several possibilities. One. The first Covid diagnosis was wrong, and patient had cold or flu, recovered, and then legitimately caught Covid in the "second" instance. Two. He had Covid the first time; second instance is cold or flu, with a false positive, or even a true positive from antibodies still in his system. Three: Neither instance was/is Covid. Four: He had Covid once, and caught it again, because it has now mutated enough to fool his immune system. Corollary to that is that the new strain is probably more infectious/less lethal, because that's how viruses roll. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at October 12, 2020 10:11 PM (G14Xb) 812
