The Morning Rant
"So for the past couple of months, hair-on-fire progressives have been running around with their hair on fire because of some abortion restrictions that were passed, but they're getting upset over nothing, really. The legislation was only passed by statute in Georgia. And Iowa. And Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky, Ohio, and some other states. Like South Carolina, and North Dakota. Look, we're not coming after your abortion. All we want is some common sense abortion control. Like a one-year waiting period. And an exhaustive background check with mental health evaluation. Also, the purchase of a $200 tax stamp should be required. That's only fair. And doctors who do abortions should be licensed by the federal government, also with exhaustive background and mental health checks, and in addition they should have to pay a whopping big annual license fee. And the names of all abortionists and their patients should go into a national registry. But that's nothing anybody has to worry about. Rest assured, we would not presume to deny anyone the constitutional right to abortion. If you want your abortions, you can keep your abortions."

Yes, it's very tasty. Probably second only to that once-in-a-lifetime cotton honey overall, which says a lot for something available commercially.
There used to be a little restaurant in Asheville by that name, too. It was tasty a couple of decades ago. I don't even know if it's still there or worth going to anymore.

Constitution-wise, how do you secure your papers when other people hold your papers?"
You get another court order (injunction) telling them that they can't release them. Or in other words, you don't. You're right that Wells Fargo has no choice here. The Constitution provides that no one can be forced to testify against themselves, but there's no similar protection for a 3rd party who holds information that a court refuses to protect.

I had some movie thoughts.
https://tinyurl.com/y3skvt2o
"On top of all of this is some of the most incredibly impressive action I've ever seen. The key to elongated action sequences is finding ways to change the action around while keeping the pace going. You'd think that with a car chase, there'd only be so many combinations one could come up with, but this is where the weirdness of the Max universe really turns into an asset. It's not two cars in pursuit. It's a war rig followed by a variety of different vehicles with different weapons, speeds, and abilities. My favorite of them all is the pole cats, which the movie saves for the ending and uses to great effect. "

A writer to our fish wrap informs us she's taking her tourism dollars elsewhere because muh abortion.
"New Orleans and Savannah are two of my favorite American cities. My husband and I have recently visited them twice, with every intention of returning. We also enjoyed Macon when we were there a couple of years ago, and we've both traveled to Atlanta extensively. If and when Louisiana and Georgia decide to return basic human health and reproductive rights to half your population, we'll happily visit again. In the meantime, our tourist dollars will be spent elsewhere."

Posted by: navybrat, sometime commentater at May 24, 2019 11:26 AM (w7KSn)
I understand being furious, but Wells Fargo had no choice. They had no legitimate constitutional or legal ground for refusing, and the Execs could have been jailed by the Court if they had refused to comply. No client is worth going to jail for, not in any business.
This is the entire reason the Left decided to go after Business entities and not Trump directly. All they needed was a couple of judges on their payroll and they had it made.

A writer to our fish wrap informs us she's taking her tourism dollars elsewhere because muh abortion.
"New Orleans and Savannah are two of my favorite American cities. My husband and I have recently visited them twice, with every intention of returning. We also enjoyed Macon when we were there a couple of years ago, and we've both traveled to Atlanta extensively. If and when Louisiana and Georgia decide to return basic human health and reproductive rights to half your population, we'll happily visit again. In the meantime, our tourist dollars will be spent elsewhere."

This is from the last thread. Thanks OM, you are correct, it was PA. And your observation is spot on.
There have been several states no longer require MD's to perform abortions. They can be done by others, and I don't know if they require them to be licensed health care providers or not. In VA, a judge reversed his decision just a couple of weeks ago that forced the state to permit non MD's (with training, right) to perform abortions, including RN's, PA's and midwives.
How you can be a midwife, and perform an abortion truly floors me.
Imagine going to a hospital for a D&C and never seeing a MD. Including no MD for anesthesia, etc.
But hey, women's rights.

It's hard to forget women that wear pussy hats. Or glue their tits to the ground. Or slap (I would say punch, but only transgender women do that) someone for not calling them by their preferred pronoun. Or take a picture with Trump's severed head. Or walk around naked to protest the sexualization of the female body. These are all warning labels. Even more so than red hair.

Tom, Mark Levin disagrees with you and he has a point. He said that WF didn't even attempt to fight the congressional subpoena in court. They did NOTHING to protect their client's accounts and records. This was a congressional subpoena, not a court ordered one until the ruling this week.
Levin said he is closing all his accounts with WF because he now knows they have zero interest in their clients. (Gee, Mark a little late to the party. Wells Fargo has been fined, etc. for allowing their client's records to be hacked via the internet, and their employees were rewarded with bonuses for making up accounts. I wouldn't have left anything with them)

Furiousa was terrible at everything she did. Max did get her out of virtually everything.
She was about to just drive off into the desert when Max had the idea of going back to Immortan Joe's home and taking it from him.
The subtext of the movie is that women are terrible at everything and need men to fix things.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, Read Some Movie Thoughts Updated Daily at May 24, 2019 11:37 AM (9cans)
Yes, Furiosa fails and needs Max to...do anything, pretty much. But Max has no goal, has no purpose except to help her. He's a sidekick in the movie, as much as the pale failboy who gets turned by the power of high-end trim.

Uhhhh. . . .wasn't it written by a feminist screenwriter? They made a big deal about that, IIRC.
Posted by: Lizzy at May 24, 2019 11:39 AM (W+vEI)
==========
No, they brought in a feminist to consult on some language around the women characters.
Screenplay is credited to George Miller (the director), Brendan McCarthy (a British comics guy who worked on Judge Dredd), and Nico Lathouris (someone Miller knew from Australia and helped on the first Mad Max movie).
Eve Ensler (the feminist) was an on-set adviser.
But, seriously, Furiosa fails at everything, and Max is the one who fixes everything.

They didn't turn them over until it became a court ordered one, this week.
Levin is fun to listen to, but legally he's way off base most of the time, and just spits out whatever feels good to him. Now he's on the right wing, but in his own way he's just as legally incompetent as Judge Nappy. If you think any corporate entity is ever going to take your side when Government comes calling.... well that just ain't ever gonna happen.
He's closing his Wells account, fine, I got no love for WF. But what banking institution does he think would do even the slightest thing differently than what Wells just did? Not a single one of them will ever take a legal risk for a client.

No. She *said* she would step down June 7th.
She also said Brexit would be in March. Daily-mail had an article on her husband yesterday. He may persuade her to hang on a bit longer.
She has had this inexplicable habit of announcing something one day and doing the opposite the next. Recently, it's been literally the next day.
The June 7th date is so she can have dinner with Trump and the Queen ...

Kind of funny, started off with clips from a "Deutsche Wochenschau", the German propaganda newsreel series that was produced right up to nearly the surrender. I've watched dozens of those online, for historical interest and a [mostly futile] effort to revive my krautish comprehension.
Basically, restored/enhanced footage from 8th Air Force missions, shot for the movie "Memphis Belle", interspersed with veteran interviews. And a good "making of" extra after.
I'd recommend people see it ..... but it was a one-time event. Assume it will be available via online/cable sources, but not sure.
