I once made the stereotypical mistake. Waiter told me to enjoy my meal and I said "you too."
When I got my drink refill, it tasted like spit, but I don't think that was related.

Better would be governor of Virginia or Arkansas.
We need putative pragmatists that support Trump in Congress, and esp. the Senate. Losing Vance may not yield a better replacement, because his governor is a RINO, slimy GOPe, squish.
Besides the Constitutionality, same logic leave DeSantos in Florida. We need strong governors also.

In that scenario, my preference would be for Youngkin in VA. Arkansas will be in the Republican camp regardless of who's in the governor's office there, but VA finally has a good slate of conservatives in the executive branch, so that it might not be too much of a blow for them to lose Youngkin.

Just small straws in the wind.
1) Trump, Jr., big Vance guy, scheduled to speak right before the VP nominee, next Wed at the RNC Convention.
2) Trump saying the restrictive abortion law which Burgum just signed in ND, "might be a little bit of a problem."
3) Trump saying that he & Rubio both residing in FL was a "concern," (words to that effect).
4) The rally tomorrow night in Butler County, PA-- speculation he might name Vance from next door OH at the rally. (There's only 4 days left before the VP nominee's acceptance speech on Wed.)
5) The betting markets have made a strong move toward Vance.

Trump needs to look beyond politically affiliated people for VP. They're more concerned with maintaining their "day job" once the term is over, Trump's impeached (again) or the government collapses (which is a non-zero chance.)
Somebody who has zero political fucks to give. Doesn't care about a political "after life" or has a single shred of fear from deep state operatives that will out them as being .... whatever.
Politicians are none of that. Anyone here on this blog would be a better choice than any current/past/wannabe politico.

The south end of the South Island has the only regional accent in New Zealand - a Scottish burr.
Posted by: The ARC of History!
I love maps, so my curiosity took over and I checked the South Island of NZ. There were a few small dots with Scottish names. Invercargill, Oban (I've been to the one in Scotland), Stewart Island, Dunedin, etc. Basically, the towns either have a Scottish name or Maori one. Or both.

There is a general principle of Commie armies.
Generally they are filled with backwards people, since Communism retards progress. When they are tasked to invade a more advanced country, the invading army sees the wonders they were denied, and the army becomes politically unreliable.
Communist armies invading more advanced countries is a bad idea, since 1920 and the Soviets in Poland. Plenty of other examples.

Rainer Zitelmann writes about development and how countries move from poverty to wealth, and how they don't.
He claimed that he was banned from speaking in Vietnam on his book lecture tour for his work In Defense of Capitalism, since Vietnam is still technically a Marxist-Leninist country, but he was welcomed to speak when he did another book called How Nations Escape Poverty: Vietnam, Poland, and the Origins of Prosperity, even though it was basically the same premise.

All of the 1940s-1970s Vietnamese Communists lived for a time under French cultural influence.

I doubt the guv would run.
I want the VP choice to be the one who brings the biggest dowry to the wedding. Other than that, I don't care very much.
Vance has proven his appeal to blue collar, non-college voters in OH. The big 3 swingers (PA;WI;MI) have a disproportionately large # of such voters. I still think Trump must win one of those 3 to get to 270, imo.
In 2022, which turned out to be a poor year for the GOP (the "red trickle" year), Vance won a seat that was considered a tossup by 6 points. Against Rep. Tim Ryan, who had been thought to be one of the DEMs' best candidates.
In theory, Trump could lose all 3 of those & still get to 270, of course, but to do so he'd have to carry other states which he's LESS likely to win, i.e., MN & NH. I know you likely know this already.
Plus, Vance is young-- 39, a nice contrast to Trump. I think he's awfully good on TV. He eats smug Karens alive.
Finally, Trump loves him some surprises, so who knows? Doc T is right to point that out. However, after the Pence fiasco, he probably wants someone who is "ideologically aligned," as they say. Vance fits that definition.

Good point.
Did you get a lot of damage? You said it rained a lot. At least you are doing better than Hadrian the Seventh.
Posted by: NaCly Dog at July 12, 2024 11:16 PM (u82oZ)
I had no significant damage. My patio gate needs repair after being pushed a bit inside-out by the wind. I had about 6 inches total of rain over 12 hours. No problem in my micro-neighborhood - it drains well. My power was out Monday only, from 5 AM to 4 PM. That was unexpected. Typically I do not lose power at all during tropical systems. The lines are buried in my area for this reason.
One of my friends living about 5 miles distant in a built-up area is unfortunate like Hadrian and is still w/o power. He usually does not lose power in tropical storms either. Something strange on the grid-side occurred to have such a widespread outage from a fairly weak storm. No more trees and tree limbs were downed in my area than in previous storms. Hopefully some heads will deservedly roll.

I warn you I have only heard him speak, but he lectures well.
If you are interested in economic development from an historical view, I am reading Joel Mokyr's The Lever of Riches. It is like James Burke's Connections with greater depth and footnotes.
Some of Mokyr's books are a bit densely written, and he loves to coin a concept in abstruse terms, but he is interesting when he gets going.

How to destroy a country in just four years
The Khmer Rouge was a brutal communist regime that ruled Cambodia for only four years, but in that brief period entirely destroyed its economy, wiped out its intellectual class, and horribly murdered a quarter of its population.
In this history episode we investigate one of the world's worst regimes, the depths of its depravity, and how it explains a specific type of terror present in other countries today

Embarrelling is the punishment for silly posting mistakes.
- Not closing your tags.
- Excessive quoting (though copying the whole blog into the comment box doesn't work anymore, since trolls were doing it intentionally.)
- Composing a reply in MS Word and posting all the microsoft formatting gibberish.
For some reason that predates my knowledge, blowing the margins doesn't seem to be a barrelling offense. Probably because being scolded by the CoBs is somehow even scarier.

Yowza! Sorry to hear that. I've learned neighborhood storm runoff drainage system capacity is the difference between no home flooding and home flooding.

I could care less about Baldwin or the case.
But that's a very unusual ruling. I don't see why the problem couldn't be easily cured in a second trial. (Again, I don't care one way or the other.)
All I can figure was that the NM judge must've thought the misconduct bordered on intentional-- which it didn't sound like it was.
My own policy was, "When in doubt, shovel it out." Immediately. If I got a piece of paper on Monday, the defense had it on Tuesday. That's why I didn't end up a civilian without a pension.
Btw, I like "the armorer's" chances of getting HER conviction reversed now too. Like her chances A LOT.

It can be done I suppose, but it looked like it shouldn;t

Au contraire! It was a noble act, he was a bad guy who got what he deserved. And worth noting, there was peace for the next 40 years. Apparently it was an object lesson, as there was peace for the next 40 years.

I watched the trial, including the pretrial motions.
The judge had enough of the lawyers, and ran a tight ship ( or tried to).
Defense complained about not getting evidence ( a batch of bullets). Turns out the prosecutor hid the evidence under a different number than the trial number. The prosecutor literally was in the meeting where it was decided to do this. This potentially made her a witness, and she offered to cal herself to the stand.
She took the stand, told her story, and was questioned by the defense. Turns out her 2nd chair, Erlinda Johnson, quit and walked out an hour before. After her testimony, Judge Mary declared the case dismissed with prejudice.

I think Baldwin is an asshole, and has some liability, but I would rather see fuckhead DAs and prosecutors be punished for bad behavior.

For many years I worked in a bank and every Thursday I had a customer named Mr. Filet, very nice guy, wore a beret and was very genteel. One evening I greeted him with "Hey, Mr. Fish", he was not amused.

As I understand matters, the Santa Fe cops received a bunch of ammo from the crime scene they missed during their investigation. When it came time to prosecute the armorer and Baldwin, the SF cops had listed them under a different case number so they would be missed during discovery and for extra credit the prosecutors did not disclose this evidence. The judge in both trials is the same and when Baldwin's attys discovered the judge was cool as ice but red hot livid. When this ammo finally showed up on court the Judge put on rubber gloves and examed every round with the shitty CSI person standing right there having to answer lots of ugly questions. Case was dismissed with prejudice
The armorer on appeal just might win because of this.

Depends on the issue, but always try neighbor to neighbor first. In my HOA we had a lot of Hill Rats that droned on about process. I had a short answer for those dweebs.
