Slightly Willowed:
So, I need to make a prayer request. My brother was admitted to the hospital over the weekend. It seems he's had some internal bleeding along with some other self-induced issues. The initial tests revealed some significant ulcers on his esophagus and a possible tumor. They've played hell trying to get his blood numbers corrected and he required a transfusion Saturday due to the blood loss. They're not 100% sure where the blood is coming from, but the upper GI and CT scans didn't reveal anything definitive. He had a biopsy and scope this morning and we're waiting on the results from that. He ate solid food today, which had a bit of a negative reaction, but was short term. They need him to poop to see if there's blood to see if they need to do a lower scope. Initial reaction from the esophagus was not thrilling as the Dr. said the tumor has them concerned. All this a day after he found out he'd finally got a job after 4 months of 'funemployment.' Posted by: Sponge - China is Asshoe! at January 18, 2021 12:17 PM (Zz0t1) 13

I walk around the corner, a man walks up, hit me in my chest, right. I fall on the ground, right. And I look up and it's Dr. Martin Luther King.

The Enforcement Bureau (Bureau) of the Federal Communications Commission issues this Enforcement Advisory to remind licensees in the Amateur Radio Service, as well as licensees and operators in the Personal Radio Services, that the Commission prohibits the use of radios in those services to commit or facilitate criminal acts. The Bureau has become aware of discussions on social media platforms suggesting that certain radio services regulated by the Commission may be an alternative to social media platforms for groups to communicate and coordinate future activities. The Bureau recognizes that these services can be used for a wide range of permitted purposes, including speech that is protected under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Amateur and Personal Radio Services, however, may not be used to commit or facilitate crimes. Specifically, the Bureau reminds amateur licensees that they are prohibited from transmitting "communications intended to facilitate a criminal act" or "messages encoded for the purpose of obscuring their meaning."

Willowed:
I've been thinking about this a bit. Trump's greatest strength is that he was a businessman. In business, you get things done or, you know, "You're fired." Trump's greatest weakness is that he was a businessman. The expectation in business is that you will do your job to the best of your ability and that is how you succeed. In politics, it's something akin to "get in line, follow the guy who's been in line longer than you, hold out your rice bowl and eventually you'll get bigger and bigger portions", but "if you don't follow the orders of the rice givers, you can get kicked out of line forever" Trump hire's were never his men or women except of a few. He would've done much better to have brought in his own people in managerial positions and run the whole thing like a business. Politicians are all shitweasels.

It'd be great if the Capitol stayed on this state of high alert and with tons of soldiers around. Having to constantly evacuate and the full security apparatus would begin to wear on the nerves.

Here is my dream scenario.The day after the inauguration, Trump in Florida announces a new political party dedicated to America First, free speech, 2nd amendment etc. Immediately 72 million americans change their voter registration and join the new party. The media which can never get enough Trump as he makes their ratings, immediately shoves the new administration into the background as they spend all their time bashing the new Party and Trump.

Perfect example of a good movie to remake: Judge Dredd. Campy and bad but entertaining - can, and was, done better as a straight action movie.
Posted by: Broseidon at January 18, 2021 01:02 PM (icI8A) I think in the case of Dredd, the fact it existed long before the movies as a comic helped. A lot of material and canon to draw from. Robocop on the other hand had perfect timing, and tapped into a zeitgeist of the time. Or heck, Escape from NY, Running Man, Die Hard, any number of 80's & 90's flicks that were actually creative and pitch-perfect. I just watched They Live last night, forgot how good it is, all the way up until it sort of falls apart at the end. It's also funny and quaint to see the dystopian futures of cops run amuck and cities/people in squalor. Thinking how nice and clean and organized it all seems.

Posted by: Wonkish Rogue at January 18, 2021 01:09 PM (FDiG/) 359
I am not aware that SS protection for former presidents has anything to do with impeachment/conviction. Would be insane if it did. The protection is based either on statute or EO, I don't remember. Pretty sure it doesn't change if a president is removed from office.
Security clearance for elected principals like the president is automatic, but I don't think it carries on after office. For years, there was an informal policy of informing living former presidents of US military action just before it was taken. This was done in a secure manner, so I think former presidents at least have access to confidential info/manner of receiving it. But they're not on any distribution for it, day to day.

The thing is, they aren't bashing Trump as much lately in the news, that I've seen at least. They are showering creepy police state type hate at his supporters and doing a nasty Soviet style show trial to impeach him, neither of which sits well with anyone but hardcore true believer leftists. He's kind of the anti-Obama. The more coverage he got in the news, the less people liked him because they liked the concept of "Cool Historic First Black President" a lot more than the obnoxious, egotistical blowhard reality. The less Trump is bashed in the press, the more people like him because they basically agree with what he said and did, but were convinced he was terrible anyway by the establishment.

Related to nothing, I've become interested in Bobby Fischer. I don't play chess but his story and eccentricity intrigue me. I was watching an old clip of his interview by Mike Wallace and was struck by how Wallace seemed to be trying to hurt him, stick it to him. There was absolutely zero curiosity or empathy in his approach. How odd, as Fischer was clearly a soul who provoked curiosity. Meanwhile, Fischer was just trying to answer questions honestly and decently. There was even a kind of oddball sweetness to him.
It occurred to me, in general, how much the media hates differentness, unorthodoxy, and must find some way to de-normalize and embarrass it.

So I'm wrong, benefits post-presidency *can* be denied, per the statute Grump quoted? That's fairly shocking. Post-presidency protection and certain perks had been customary for decades, and I don't think even the concept of a punitive denial of benefits arose prior to today's pathetic conditions. Must be discretionary, and probably based on threat assessment and practical considerations, not impeachment or the like. If a former prez decided to live outside the US, the burden of protection could be seen as excessive, and denied or limited, I would think. But that would be discretionary.

Agents weren't known as agents. They were called Operatives. And they operated in secrecy as pseudo spies- hence, "Secret" as part of the name.

General Waverly's housekeeper is a fat, sassy black woman and his granddaughter is a trannie who hates him because he's trying to teach her to be happy being a biological girl. Oh, and Betty Haynes dumps Bob at the end because she needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle. And all of the music is dumped in favor of ghetto trash.

If I were Trump, and Joe Biden cut off my SS protection, I'd hire the most brutal thugs in the world to be my personal bodyguard. Hire heavy-hitters from mafias, convicted human-rights violators, coked-up child soldiers, radio advertising copywriters, etc.
Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at January 18, 2021 01:18 PM (Bvn1K) I thought that one complaint was Trump had a lot of his own security in place as it was. It wouldn't surprise me a bit if he waved his SS detail after 1/20. I'd certainly be suspicious AF if I were him. And yeah, get the guys that were too brutal for the UN to keep on.

Related to nothing, I've become interested in Bobby Fischer. I don't play chess but his story and eccentricity intrigue me. I was watching an old clip of his interview by Mike Wallace and was struck by how Wallace seemed to be trying to hurt him, stick it to him. There was absolutely zero curiosity or empathy in his approach. How odd, as Fischer was clearly a soul who provoked curiosity. Meanwhile, Fischer was just trying to answer questions honestly and decently. There was even a kind of oddball sweetness to him.
I was no fan of Mike Wallace at all but Bobby Fischer was very weird. Posted by: Captain Hate Won't Forget Ashli Babbitt at January 18, 2021 01:22 PM (y7DUB) 436

The idea of dissolving the inferior courts, which isn't gonna happen, could be educational, as that move would be entirely within Congress' power, as they created those courts.

Of course Congress' power with respect to defining and limiting jurisdiction of the courts it created has been flouted in the current festival of judicial lawlessness, just to emphasize how collapsed Congress is in terms of its intended constitutional role.
A fairly important asylum case, the "ruling" involved elements from which the courts were expressly denied jurisdiction (basically, second-guessing any policy elements, which seems like it shouldn't even have to specified, but there we are). But a judge did it anyway! Pretty much pure, histrionic law-breaking by a court. Of course, the dictatorial Trump regime meekly complied (while appealing with high probability of prevailing), and Congress said bupkis. Do *not* expect to see even outlandishly dubious acts by the new "administration" blocked or slowed by such judicial moves. Posted by: rhomboid at January 18, 2021 01:34 PM (OTzUX) 490

House locks - much harder.
Convicts taught me when I was a prison guard. Posted by: rickb223 at January 18, 2021 01:37 PM (CigxG) My locksmith guy is really down on how bad some house locks have gotten lately. He loves showing me the difference on old and new stuff. They're just getting cheap and lazy. And showed me one of my tenants changed out the door locks on my condo to some sort of horrific Kwikset thing that you're supposed to be able to re-key yourself. Any idiot with the little tool can be inside in seconds. Posted by: clutch cargo - processed in a facility that may contain lead at January 18, 2021 01:43 PM (L8ADy) 513

It's being reported Biden plans to dissolve the current federal court system and redo it with only biden appointed judges. I am going to have to disconnect from all news and social media apps going forward in order to keep from getting actually sick....I guess I'll just watch the steady increase in gas and consumer goods to see how things are going.

If are now going to Hell in a handbasket, does anyone know the best basket manufacturer? Preferrably with a kitchen, bathroom and king size bed.

At this point if Aliens landed and announced they were our new overlords, most people would weep for joy and welcome them. How much worse could they be?

The Aliens watched some Springer and skipped Earth. Put us on some weird Galactic Internet Top Ten List.
