I would be beguiled as well. Although Merlin looks stoned.
The girl is super hot up to the hips and then there's more torso than makes physical sense before we get to the rib cage, boobs, face, and arms and she's hot again. It's got an almost-Deco feel to it, I'm not sure it's technically beaux arts. I'm going to guess 1890. Also, why is her hat made out of snakes?

An arrest has been made in connection to a shooting at a gas station in Northeast Columbia.
Antar Daralhaj, 20, is facing a number of charges including assault and battery of high and aggravated nature. The shooting happened on Saturday at the Obama gas station on Farrow Road. Daralhaj was an employee at the Obama gas station at the time of the incident. Police say he and a male customer were arguing about an overcharge for a gas purchase. - Obama, is there nothing he can't do? I mean, I knew he was an emetic but I didn't know about the gas.

On the 'Trump Cult' narrative:
I applaud what Trump does. I applaud the sensibilities he offends (because they need to be offended). I applaud the applecarts he upends. I do not worship the man. Unlike Presdint Peace Prize, I do not ascribe any divinity or saintliness to Trump, or any mystical powers, because he walks the Earth. Fuck the 'Trump Cult' nonsense.

I had the master brake cylinder leak on my mazda tribute at 4 years, and that was the only repair on it. it lasted 11 years and 175k miles before I got rid of it. the mazda 3 lasted 6 years and 186k miles before the flooding got it. only had to change the rear brake disks at 120k - front was still good when it died, I LOVE a stick shift... not sure if I was lucky or not, but 2 totally different models separated by 11 years seems like a good track record.

"Mistakes were made" is true, only in the context of
"we covered up a lot of Hillary crimes, and we made a few mistakes in letting the public find out we were dirty cops" As noted earlier, the real investigators don't get advanced, it is the lawyers that cover up the tracks (of the cover ups) that get advanced. Comey ... just a lawyer, never a "Law Man". In a Louis L'Amour book, Comey would be the villain, taken down by the hero with the fast hand and quick thinking. But Comey extols himself as on a mission from gawd (wrong god). No Jimmy, you're just a lying schmuck advancing by humping Hillary's leg.

In the class and price range of the Mazda 6, there is also the Honda Accord.
The previous generation Accord, a 2013 example of which sits in the driveway, is frankly a revelation in handling dynamics. I'd put it to the test in a rapidly decreasing radius turn, decelerating from 75 mph to 5 mph in the process. This turn causes most other cars into the typical front-wheel drive "understeer", or "push", which is a loss of traction at the front wheels....the car will scuff wide of the turn, even with the steering wheel put over to full right lock. But not the Accord. It's also a 185 hp unit, but the power flows through a Constant Variable Transmission, which I didn't think I'd like, but I do. I've since learned that Formula One outlawed the CVT... because it worked too well, and gave an "unfair" advantage to the cars that used it. Though I haven't yet driven one myself, both Car & Driver and Road & Track magazines give rave reviews as to the handling and driveablity of the the new 2018 Accord. I'd have to drive on in a head-to-head match against a Mazda 6, but it'd be a worthwhile effort. Both are fine, fun cars. The Honda though, reigns supreme in terms of resale value. As an aside, it'd be worth looking at a 2018 Camry, too. Seems Toyota has rediscovered the concept of a "driver's car", and is making them with a bit of zing these days, compared to the "dependable, excitement-less mobile appliance" nature of all previous Camrys. But if you want to go to the sexy end of the spectrum....everything that Alfa is making these days is just smoking hot automotive beautifulness. And Alfa's wee roadster is nothing less than a Miata with some styling changes and a bit of Alfa engineering thrown into the mix. Best of both worlds?

>> If JackStraw is reading this: apologies if you've addressed this already but last night, as he was going through the details of the report, Levin said the only way the corruption in the FBI/DOJ can be addressed is by a special counsel with a very specific mandate of what to investigate. My question is do you think he's overlooking Huber's role and is it possible for him to accomplish setting the organization in order?
I think eventually we will end up with a Special Counsel although I'm not convinced that's a good thing. Sessions even indicated yesterday it's on the table. The IG report did result in 5 criminal referrals to Huber as well as potentially other criminal investigations but there are limits to what Huber can do. A SC has a lot more flexibility to go beyond just the DOJ to include other agencies and departments. Posted by: JackStraw at June 15, 2018 10:14 AM (/tuJf) 294

the advantages of Huber over another special counsel (which could take years, and would it be any better?) have been discussed. IF Huber is not DeepState (which can be almost an official position, or can just be a political disposition to not rock the boat) ... then he will have the power to act on a lot of this coming out.
There seem to be advantages to dealing with judges in Utah (and Arkansas) ... but I'm foggy on what gets brought forward there as opposed to dealing with DC DeepState judges. Posted by: illiniwek at June 15, 2018 10:16 AM (bT8Z4) 300

I would totally not hit it, because violence is wrong.
I would give her a firm, loving, full body massage. I'd use a scented oil, probably lavender at this time of day. While working on her back side I'd work deep, really exploring the bone structure and relaxing her as she's never been relaxed before. Working her upper thighs and buttocks I'd make enough incidental contact with her vulvic area that she'd know it wasn't incidental, but she'd be at a point where she's just given herself over to trust and she's loving it. When I rolled her over, after carefully paying respect to every inch of her naked oiled body I would massage each labia individually until the snakes ran away. Definitely would not hit it.

IG's can only interrogate employees of the organization they are overseeing. Trump fired Comey so he hasn't been an employee in over a year. Huber can't do much about Comey. Federal prosecutors aren't bound by those rules. The real question is what is Huber and his team doing and unfortunately or fortunately depending on your point of view he doesn't leak. The choice is either wait and see if he is doing something and if do what he turns up or just assume he isn't doing anything at all. Posted by: JackStraw at June 15, 2018 10:28 AM (/tuJf) 348

"Why are there not 50 agents in jail at this point?, you might ask" If Trump is managing it like a reality show, then we are still building toward the climax, which will be a month before the election. Or maybe phase one climax this October (surprise), then the real arrests happen as we roll into 2020. I'm not confidant that is happening, but there is a lot of evidence rolling out, more reports to come, and then the follow up prosecutions and another special counsel ... and finally arrests of the coup plotters. After 80 years of infiltration by enemies of all sorts, it is pretty awesome we are still standing, and they are being exposed. I have some hope.

--- In an exchange on August 6, 2016, Page forwarded Strzok a news article relating to Trump insulting the Kahns. Page: Jesus. You should read this. And Trump should go f himself. Strzok responded favorably to the article and added "And F Trump" Page: So. This is not to take away from the unfairness of it all, but we are both deeply fortunate people. Page: And maybe you're meant to stay where you are because you are meant to protect the country from that menace. To that end, read this: [link to a David Brooks column, about Trump's "enablers", who do not oppose him.] Strzok: Thanks. It's absolutely true that we're both very fortunate. And of course I'll try and approach it that way. I just know it will be tough at times. I can protect our country at many levels,... Posted by: Axeman at June 15, 2018 10:31 AM (vDqXW) 360

337 Jackson was an excellent tactician who made Lee better but Lee knew how to use him - interestingly Grant's strength was deploying good commanders to full effect as well.

If it's intermittent, they can be extremely hard to locate. Had a 73 Mustang that the rear lights would sometimes just go out. After several weeks of trying to nail it down, I happened to be walking past the rear of the car with the engine running, and the lights on. Heard a very faint arcing noise, and after spending several minutes, found the hot wire to the license plate bulb was chafed, and would vibrate up against the chrome bumper. Weeks of hunting down.

- I don't know but I do know that on one of the few occasions that Lee addressed the war, he wrote in to criticize a paper who had given Jackson all the credit for the famous flanking march at Chancellorsville, not because he himself sought credit, but because he considered it an insult to Jackson' professionalism to suggest that he would perform such a risky strategy, splitting his forces in the face of a superior enemy, without his superior's sanction.

362 337 Jackson was an excellent tactician who made Lee better but Lee knew how to use him - interestingly Grant's strength was deploying good commanders to full effect as well.

A question for the Historical Horde... Was Lee a great general because of Jackson, or did Jackson enhance Lee's greatness?
Posted by: Kris Both men were good commanders in tat they were smart enough to seize and retain the initiative, especially when they were at a disadvantage in most other categories. Both were incredibly stupid in not grasping the need of their cause, in that they repeatedly threw away their forces (Lee in the Seven Days battles, Pickett's charge). They needed to maintain a competent defense. They could never afford a war of attrition, to lose at the rate they did. Posted by: Blue Hen at June 15, 2018 10:44 AM (rDwsX) 405

I know this was brought up earlier, but Ingraham had an interesting panel last night. Retired career FBI field agent. for one.
He said that once an agent gets promoted into management, they end up losing their edge and understanding of how to interrogate individuals. He said it was obvious when he read the IG report as to how interrogations of the IT guy and others, including Hillary were done. He pointed out that all the interviews were conducted by management, people who are not field agents, who conduct interviews every day. And they not only didn't follow protocol, they were completely amateurish. It was obvious to him that the entire investigation was politically set up to shield Hillary Clinton, which is why no field agents were allowed to interview the principals. They also remarked about the immunity that was immediately granted to numerous principals, which helped to destroy any case building. A retired agent called into Levin last night and said Wray's plan to conduct training of all the FBI in bias was insulting. He said the agents already KNOW what is right and wrong when they conduct themselves on the job, apparently its only administration that needs the training.

@votermom,
CR can be useful info, but as others have said, don't over rely on it. Find a forum for the vehicles you're looking at, and research there. Sometimes it's a brand forum, sometimes a branch of the brand (e.g. Toyota trucks), and (probably for the more 'performance' oriented models) sometimes a model-specific forum (e.g. Ford Lightning) (These often have sub-forums that are more generalized.) Lastly, despite a certain reputation here, you might consider Subaru. Posted by: Duncanthrax at June 15, 2018 10:50 AM (ctuyM) 432

Posted by: rammajamma There was no reason to believe that an army superior in numbers could be broken by a painfully obvious frontal assault. That could be flanked.

For three of the four day battle the Confederates won. They retreated after Pickets charge due the amount of Union forces moving towards them from the North, West and East. The sad part was whether or not Lee won the British decision was made by Egypt having a bumper crop of cotton that year which ended any discussion of bringing the British Navy into the fray.

The Union army at Gettysburg was the only major force between Lee's army and Washington. If Lee could have smashed through it or flanked it, he would have had a clear path to Washington DC. A Confederate army capturing Washington would have been a major blow to the North, maybe a knockout blow.

Posted by: Agent Cooper If. By then, even the most deluded person knew that the Union army outnumbered the army of N Virginia. And for both armies, their best days were behind them. There were still massive regiments stationed in DC, units that Grant would successfully roust out the next year. On July 1st, Lee had no clear notion where his opponent was, and his army was still uniting.The chances of turning that into decisive victory were extremely long.

But they almost did win a war of attrition, tho. If the South had won Getttysburg, that would have been three major Southern victories in a row: Fredricksburg, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg--all against three different commanders. Richmond had a letter ready asking for surrender terms from Washington. Would Lincoln have been forced to accept it? After a Gettysburg victory, would Britain and France been convinced to recognize the Confederacy? Because of slavery, they probably still would have relented. This biography has me thinking about a lot of what-if scenarios. But then Grant and Sherman in the West are still winning, so... who knows. Interesting topic, tho.

The point of Gettysburg was to demonstrate to the British that the South could invade and win a major battle. For three of the four day battle the Confederates won. They retreated after Pickets charge due the amount of Union forces moving towards them from the North, West and East. The sad part was whether or not Lee won the British decision was made by Egypt having a bumper crop of cotton that year which ended any discussion of bringing the British Navy into the fray. Lee need the British Navy as Washington needed the French Navy to win a decisive victory.

404 Actually the assaults on Culp Hill and Cemetery Ridge could be viewed as a go for broke move by a commander (Lee) that realized he couldn't fight a war of attrition either in offense or defense. The fact that it was so poorly executed by Longstreet didn't help. Posted by: rammajamma To be fair, Longstreet did not think any of this was a good idea and he tried to tell Lee that. Longstreet didn't want to pick a fight with Meade at Gettysburg at all, because the Union had been quick in the first phases and positioned themselves on all the good ground. And hindsight says he was right. The irony is that Lee was very good at making his enemy fight on ground that he chose. Gettysburg was one notable time that he did not choose the field, and it did not go well for him. Posted by: Agent Cooper at June 15, 2018 11:00 AM (oyCqX) 465

I didn't read it, but yes, someone on the internet did the most devastating review of that book or movie. I laughed a lot, and anyway I'm sure you could write something better. Despite my irritability I think you could. I had a friend who insisted he could write romance novels; He'd just use a feminine nom de plume; I don't know if he ever did. And anyway, people think romance novels are the same thing as bodice rippers. They aren't necessarily. I read Georgette Heyer, They are romances. They is no sex (because she wrote from the 4O's to the 70's I think) and people are clearly attracted to each other. and intelligent I think what differentiates them (aside from not being soft porn) Heyer from people like whats her name-Grey author? is that Heyer is clever and has a lot of humor. I guess if people could write about sex and the humor involved in it I might be more tolerable. I sort of got the impression from reviews that "Grey" books are completely humorless and the characters are sterotypes. Posted by: FenelonSpoke at June 15, 2018 11:04 AM (0/+vJ) 478

It's like the ol' saying, unless you're talking horse shoes or hand grenades, close ain't good enough. Or, it's like a football game, where you outscore your opponents in three of four quarters. The final score is what matters. And.... as with ALL battles of the eastern front of that war, Lee knew damn well, it really didn't even matter if he won territory. His army was being bled dry, and he couldn't keep trading punches with the North. The forlorn hope, that the British would save them, it was never really ever more than a fantasy. Realistically, there was never much more than a 0% chance the British were coming. They played the South like a banjo. Posted by: BurtTC at June 15, 2018 11:07 AM (9chmE) 488

Posted by: Agent Cooper This. he also realized that the Union army was growing stronger (forces were still arriving), AND that they were in territory where they were hated AND that the Union army could cut them off from the South. And the casualties from the first two days were horrific for both sides. But the South could not afford to lose at the same or greater rate than the North. Longstreet knew the actual casualty figures from the first two days, and knew the limitations of Confederate artillery, firing uphill, against fortified positions. Any of these factors should have ruled out Picketts charge. Lee ignored all of them. Posted by: Blue Hen at June 15, 2018 11:09 AM (rDwsX) 497

Just remember, Napoleon achieved much more using only practical effects.
Pfft. Napoleon couldn't even sink the Graf Spee, he just cornered it in the River Platte until its captain came out and scuttled it.

Nunez last night said that there were emails and texts in that IG report that they have had subpoenaed for months.
Does anybody think state secrets were divulged in that report--or just the type of "state secrets" where the FIB looks bad? Posted by: Axeman at June 15, 2018 11:12 AM (vDqXW) 510
So ... are we somewhat in agreement that, as of today, nobody has been referred for anything criminal ?

One of the things that kept coming up in Jackson's biography was how many times he was underestimated by the enemy. During his Valley Campaign for example, the Federals were poo-pooing the idea that anyone could move an army of that size, that fast, without anyone noticing. And again with the long march at Chancellorsville, Hooker was convinced the massive army he saw in moving the clearings was retreating. By this time, Jackson was a legend who was known for his surprise attacks and foot cavalry. But Hooker was confident.

I know this was brought up earlier, but Ingraham had an interesting panel last night. Retired career FBI field agent. for one. He said that once an agent gets promoted into management, they end up losing their edge and understanding of how to interrogate individuals. He said it was obvious when he read the IG report as to how interrogations of the IT guy and others, including Hillary were done. He pointed out that all the interviews were conducted by management, people who are not field agents, who conduct interviews every day. And they not only didn't follow protocol, they were completely amateurish. It was obvious to him that the entire investigation was politically set up to shield Hillary Clinton, which is why no field agents were allowed to interview the principals. They also remarked about the immunity that was immediately granted to numerous principals, which helped to destroy any case building. A retired agent called into Levin last night and said Wray's plan to conduct training of all the FBI in bias was insulting. He said the agents already KNOW what is right and wrong when they conduct themselves on the job, apparently its only administration that needs the training.

just about $500 total parts & labor to replace the alternator is not bad, right? (old Honda Odyssey)
Posted by: @votermom @vm pimping great books usually free or sale at June 15, 2018 11:07 AM (hMwEB) Sounds high to me. Unless the Oddity is very strangely put together, re and re on the alternator should be one hour, tops. So, $120 labor, plus the cost of the part. Look it up on Rock Auto .com.

To the idiots who are propagating the "FBI Scum" distortion, this is what Trump said:
--- "If you took a poll at the FBI, [I would win]," Trump told Doocy. "I mean the real FBI, not the scum on top." --- Check every quote that is "relayed" by libs of Trump. They are nearly 100% wrong on *every* quote. Scum. at. the. TOP. So you can put those necklaces back together for another day of clutching. Posted by: Axeman at June 15, 2018 11:19 AM (vDqXW) 532
My initial volcanic apocalyptic reaction to the IG report has grown ...... worse.
Not due to any new info entering the picture. Not really even because Dir. Wray's performance at his presser was so jaw-dropping. Not even because Trump - disastrously and inexplicably - remains in rah-rah mode about Wray, per a tweet today. Just because the absurdity of the IG's findings becomes more spectacular with more reflection. Massive, systematic, obvious, ipso facto violations of serious laws occurred - nobody even pretends to deny this. Yet, in this vast tableau of criminal mishandling of classified information, violation of public records laws, destruction of evidence, the IG could find nothing irregular or dubious. Huber could still produce some sanity and justice here. But the cowardice and/or delusion of the IG effort darkens an already dark picture. Posted by: rhomboid at June 15, 2018 11:21 AM (QDnY+) 533
"It's an incredible place to visit and learn about a pivotal few days in 1863."
July 4, 1863. The last day of the battle at Gettysburg was also the last day the confedacy had any control over Vicksburg, Mississippi. That day, after a 10 day or so siege, about 24,000 confederate troops surrendered. The Union now had total control of the Mississippi River from start to finish.Union Gunboats could and did for the rest of the war control who crossed that river. The confederacy was cut in two. Even by quirk of fate had the Lee somehow managed to win at Gettysburg, the days of confederacy were numbered. Posted by: Tim in Illinois at June 15, 2018 11:22 AM (Ir8Pa) 534
