To make allowances for the 50-year-old high school moron John Fetterman -- to "center" him -- Charles Schumer has ended the Senate's dress code.

So just rock up in your hoodie and sweats. 'S'all good.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) quietly has directed the Senate's Sergeant at Arms to no longer enforce the chamber's informal dress code for its members, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: The new directive will allow Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), who tends to favor gym shorts and hoodies over the business attire traditionally required in the chamber, to linger on the Senate floor before and after votes.

"Senators are able to choose what they wear on the Senate floor. I will continue to wear a suit," Schumer said in a statement to Axios.

Fetterman, who was elected last year, initially followed Senate tradition and wore suits. But since returning to the Senate after being treated for clinical depression earlier this year, he frequently has sported the casual look he was known for as Pennsylvania's lieutenant governor.

A court has ruled that a former Yale student, accused of r4pe by another student in the frenzy of #MeToo, may sue his accuser now that he's been acquitted of the charges by an actual jury.

Good. We need consequences.

The former Yale student who was acquitted of rape in 2018 -- but later ousted from the Ivy League institution -- can sue his accuser for defamation over statements she made during a school hearing, the Connecticut Supreme Court ruled this summer.

Saifullah Khan, 30, has had a $110 million defamation lawsuit pending against the Ivy League institution since 2019. Khan has been fighting to bring his accuser, a fellow student, into the suit over a 2018 university hearing that eventually resulted in his expulsion.

Connecticut's high court granted Khan's request in June. The court ruled that the accuser shouldn't receive "qualified immunity" from her school testimony that Khan raped her following a Halloween party in 2015.

Qualified immunity protects people from being sued for statements they make in judicial cases or "quasi judicial" cases.

But the high court said the university hearing wasn't a stand-in court proceeding, since Khan wasn't given the opportunity to cross-examine the accuser.

"For absolute immunity to apply under Connecticut law," the June decision says, "fundamental fairness requires meaningful cross-examination in proceedings like the one at issue."

During the hearing, Khan's team listened to the woman's testimony from a separate room and never got the opportunity to question her. The court ruling said this left his defense attorney to act as a "potted plant."

The court also said the Yale hearing couldn't be considered quasi-judicial because it didn't make the woman testify under oath and didn't provide Khan's side with a transcript of the testimony.

Some good consequences there -- if schools do not treat quasi-trials more like real trials, then the normal rules which would protect a complaining witness do not apply. So schools are incentivized to provide actual due process, or expose the complaining witnesses they're trying to protect to later legal exposure. In simpler terms: If there's no due process protection for the boy, then there's no qualified immunity for the girl. You choose, woke kangaroo courts.

New Mexico's tyrant, La Emperatiz Lujan-Gresham, has announced new unilateral, unconstitutional burdens on the right to carry arms because why not.

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-NM) announced a narrower public health order temporarily banning the carry of guns at parks and playgrounds in the Albuquerque, New Mexico, area after a broader suspension was struck down by a federal judge.

The new order comes a week after Lujan Grisham instituted an order that suspended the right to carry firearms in the greater Albuquerque area. The governor also announced the new order would be implemented as a replacement for the previous public health order.


"I'm going to continue pushing to make sure that all of us are using every resource available to put an end to this public health emergency with the urgency it deserves," Lujan Grisham said in a statement. "I will not accept the status quo -- enough is enough."

The health order suspended the right to carry firearms at parks and playgrounds in Albuquerque as well as Bernalillo County.

Alex Baldwin's motion to stay a lawsuit against him for his Rust killing has been denied.

The key gaffer on the indie-western film "Rust" has moved forward with the lawsuit against Alec Baldwin for the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Baldwin lost his attempt to stay a lawsuit as his legal team argued that the special prosecution in the case is actively considering filing new charges against the actor -- leaving him in possible criminal jeopardy.

Baldwin's lawyer noted that the court adjourned the scheduling conference in the case until November. The plaintiffs agreed not to serve discovery in the near term, and the court said that Baldwin's legal team is permitted to refile the motion if circumstances change.

15 Doug LaMalfa Delivers Epic Rant Against Gavin Newsom On The House Floor

Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-CA) spoke out against electric vehicle mandates and forest management regulations imposed by the state of California and Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA).

House approves bill against Calif. Clean Air Act waivers
https://tinyurl.com/39tszte2
The House approved Republican-backed legislation Thursday taking aim at efforts in California and other states to increase electric vehicle sales.
The “Preserving Choice in Vehicle Purchases Act,” H.R. 1435, from Rep. John Joyce (R-Pa.) would block EPA from giving California a waiver to “limit the sale or use of new motor vehicles with internal combustion engines.” It passed 222-190.
“It’s vital that we stop this effort to force an electric transition on America,” House Energy and Commerce Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) said during debate.
California wants to phase out the sale of new gasoline-powered cars by 2035. An EPA waiver would allow other states to follow the Golden State’s lead.

But nothing could have prepared them for the 150-foot blades now slicing up the deep blue sky above them.

82 I don't give a fuck if Fettermonster was a dock worker instead of a US GODDAM SENATOR, a middle aged man shouldn't dress like that if he's not heading into a gym at that moment. And it looks like Fetterman has been avoiding that place for a while now.

83 Read the thread below about Allen Media and Disney:

Two words -- "Protective Put" or, if you are so inclined "Collared Put."

You bought something for a certain price or got bought out at a price- it stays that price regardless (or around that price within reason) of what the dufus company or idiotic buyers do in the next year. Let's say the valuation is at $50/share - with a protective put, should the share price fall within a certain range within a certain time frame - the put is enforced and the buyers get their price.
Same goes for a collar - lower and upper end triggers the put.

171 Pilot bailed (no reason given that I've seen), transponder was off, with the plane on Autopilot. Autopilot took over after marine bailed, and kept the bird in the air for a while. (I don't know where the bailout was or how far from the BO the plane was found.)

Posted by: AZ deplorable moron at September 18, 2023 06:46 PM (evrRm)

you'll know it was a white pilot with no connections if he' brought up on charges for wrecking one of the few of those planes able to leave the ground.

In other cases, its the last you'll hear of it.

WAPO - Her students reported her for a lesson on race. Can she trust them again?

two of Wood's Advanced Placement English Language and Composition students had reported her to the school board for teaching about race. Wood had assigned her all-White class readings from Ta-Nehisi Coates's "Between the World and Me."
The students wrote in emails that the book - and accompanying videos that played about systemic racism - made them ashamed to be White, violating a South Carolina proviso that forbids teachers from making students "feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress" on account of their race.
Reading Coates's book felt like "reading hate propaganda towards white people," one student wrote.
Wood finished out the spring semester feeling defeated and betrayed - not only by her students, but by the school system that raised her. Wood believes trust is fundamental to the classroom.
Wood now worried anything, from the most provocative essay to the least interesting comment about her weekend, might be resisted, recorded and reported by the children she was supposed to be teaching.

185 Pilot gets a master caution or indicator of catastrophic failure leading to ejection. It was obviously a false warning which is why they are all grounded. Autopilot is standard in these situations, and if your transponder is off you're not finding that aircraft. Depending on what systems they were using it's a stealth aircraft and you may not even see it on radar. It crashed in a rural area. Kinda easy to understand.
