The Bee: Lizards eat bugs, don't they?

In the Trump case, the "hand-picked" corrupt judge is ruling on the wording of his instructions to the jury. He's basically siding with Alvin Bragg's prosecutor (who is of course straight from the Biden Administration) on every issue.

He claims he wants to make it "as simple for the jury as possible" -- as simple as possible to convict, he means.

The Supreme Court has refused to hear an appeal of Maryland's "assault weapons" ban.

The Supreme Court on Monday refused to hear a challenge to a Maryland law that bans the sale of assault weapons such as AR-15s in the state.
The ban also applies to large capacity magazines.
Gun rights groups sued to challenge the ban, arguing that it violates the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
The high court typically does not provide the reasoning for declining a case.

A lower court is still considering the case.

The Supreme Court also refused to consider Maryland's policy of transing children behind parents' backs.

The Supreme Court declined on Monday to hear a case challenging a Maryland public school policy on gender identity as a violation of parental rights.
Part the guidelines includes a "Parental Preclusion Policy," which allows gender identity information to be hidden from parents.
In August, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the parents in Montgomery County, Md. who challenged the policy in the John and Jane Parents 1 v. Montgomery County Board of Education case had lacked legal standing for the lawsuit.

They had no standing to object to a policy explicitly about denying them information about their children. I assume these monsters mean that they don't have standing because the harm is (so far) hypothetical.

So we'll just have to wait for Maryland to trans a child behind her parents' back before we find out if the state is permitted to groom your children into irreversible transgenderism.

A federal judge, assumedly from Hawaii, has tossed a lawsuit that sought to block "gender confused men" from being put into the Sex Penitentiary with actual women.

This is not a ruling on the merits. The 11th Amendment makes states immune to lawsuit in federal courts, unless they choose to allow themselves to be sued. (It's a little f***ed-up.) The judge argues here that the state did not consent to suit.

U.S. District Judge Jennifer Thurston has shocked the female inmates suing the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation concerning a state law that allows men who identify as women in their prisons by dismissing their lawsuit on an argument neither party raised.
"As a state agency, it is a long-established principle that the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is immune from suit in federal court under the Eleventh Amendment," the President Biden appointee wrote in her ruling last week.
"While not fully briefed by CDCR, the Court cannot conclude that CDCR has unequivocally waived immunity and consented to federal jurisdiction," Thurston said. "Though CDCR has appeared and defended this action through the filing of a motion to dismiss, these actions do not constitute unequivocally expressing a waiver of immunity or consent to suit."

Bernie Sanders that we must start taking climate change seriously before it kills us all. And here's Bernie Sanders boarding a routine, everyday private jet to save himself a coupe of hours on the train back to Vermont.

I don't know if this is as big as it sounds: a defense filing says that the FBI was authorized to use deadly force against Trump in the stupid, trivial documents op.

I say it might not be as big as it sounds because the defense may be saying that it is typical that FBI employees are authorized to use deadly force in executing a warrant, and so they were putting the president's life at risk in doing this.

That's pretty bad. But it's not as bad as what I assume will be people's first impression, that the FBI specifically told its agents they were free to kill Trump if he interfered.

Tons of new unsealed filings on classified docs case--I will try to post as much as I can (there goes the workout) but this is mind-blowing.

An exhibit filed today by Donald Trump in a motion to suppress evidence seized during the FBI’s August 2022 raid of Mar-a-Lago revealed shocking new details about the bureau’s plans to use deadly force and even engage the former president and his security detail that day if necessary. The document is just one of many court filings recently ordered unsealed by Judge Aileen Cannon, who is presiding over the matter in southern Florida.

35 >>> I don't know if this is as big as it sounds: a defense filing says that the FBI was authorized to use deadly force against Trump in the stupid, trivial documents op.

In most jurisdictions anyone can use lethal force to protect themselves. LEOs can use lethal force to protect themselves and the rules are fairly loosey-goosey.
Explicit authorization to use deadly force would be the very sniper taking a kill shot on someone holding and threatening to kill a hostage (an imminent threat).

The bland authorization to use deadly force simply means to go in shooting. Maybe soften up the target with mortars, artillery, or some air-to-ground ordnance. Typical military assault when expecting resistence.

Urging plain clothes on top of it is old school coup Junta killing off political opposition when convenient.

73 Anyone Else Here Think That These Biden/Tr**p Debates Won't Happen? He'll find a way to con his way out and blame Biden for it.

I can just hear him: "The Clinton News Network - so unfair to Trump..."

Trump won't debate Biden and his followers will accept any excuse he makes up.

I'm certain it'll go on as scheduled. If there's any consistency in Trump's erratic behavior, it's that he loves any opportunity to speak his mind, and he always overestimates his skill at persuasion since it works so easily on his cult drones. He's guaranteed to show up.

trump's handlers will never let him get near a debate stage. HIs cognitive acuity is too far gone. He loese his train of thought contunuously...drifts off on tangents completely unrelated to what he was talking about. That won't play well when debate moderators ask questions of the participants.

They debated before, they will debate again. For the last 9 years every prediction of he will flee/quit/drop out/avoid has been wrong. I don't expect such predictions to change anytime soon.

The major thing everybody was concerned with, Billy Jeff was getting hummers by subordinates in the Oval office.

Therefore, everybody in the military had to listen to a bunch of lectures. “We Fucked Up, Therefore You Must Pay”.

For their part, all the chicks soon reveled in the fact they could fuck up anybody’s career by a mere accusation. This is entertainment.

Segregation by sex is pretty important, both in school and the military. No way around it. There is no way 18 - 45 year old males and females be placed in close quarters in remote areas without everything going to hell real quick.

Well, that, and because, it's a misnomer to say Trump possessed documents, he possessed copies of the original documents.

All administrative and executive documents are electronic documents and each copy is numbered and sequenced, so they knew every document Trump had before hand.

Pretty much assassination since Trumps lawyers were trying to arrange a peaceful meeting to transfer the documents and were blown off by the FBI.
They didn't need to do the raid, they wanted to do the raid. Had assumed that it was for the propaganda value (like Roger Stone's arrest) and sheer harassment.

Even if the clause is standard FBI tactics the fact the DOJ would authorize it for the former POTUS is outrageous. Prior to Trump we at least offered our former presidents with a level of respect no matter their politics.

Nobody would dream of raiding their house for anything short of a murder/hostage situation. This would never have happened to Obama and it sure didn't happen to Biden who was given time for his lawyers to search for documents, remove what they wanted and attend the DOJ search.

We somehow accept that Trump and only Trump can be treated like a common criminal because he wasn't a real president or something. It's indefensible.

184 The FBI got permission for lethal force because they expected armed MAGA protesters to be ready for a fight when they showed up at Mar A Lago.

Well, here's the thing, had a couple hundred armed men showed up at Mar A Lago, like the FBI was hoping, they'd have been outnumbered by a wide margin.

The Junta was hoping to martyr a few FBI agents along with killing a few more American citizens along with planting evidence PDT is a nefarious scoundrel of a dictator. The Junta would have been crying for joy if they'd have had a gun fight in which, oops,

DT was killed during a battle with right wing extremists.

That movie was awesome - so many good bits, and it never gets the recognition that other Zucker Brothers films do. Lines like "My uncle was born in America. But he was one of the lucky ones. He managed to escape in a balloon during the Jimmy Carter presidency" and bits like the underwater saloon fight.

199 Former top State Department official Victoria Nuland is back, and she's joining the stepped-up Ukrainian government efforts to convince Western allies, including the United States, to deepen their involvement in the war with Russia.

Nuland said a recent appearance on ABC News that the Biden administration should allow Ukraine forces to mount attacks directly on Russian territory with US-supplied missiles and weapons systems. "They need to be able to stop these Russian attacks that are coming from bases inside Russia," she said in the Sunday interview. "The United States and our allies ought to give them more help in hitting Russian bases, which heretofore we have not been willing to do."

200 * adjusts tin foil hat*

I'm thinking that the reason the polls are showing Trump in a landslide is just so they can soon to be shown cratering once the kangaroo court guilty verdict comes in.

And I also think the two lawyers on the jury were deliberately placed there to help direct the jury to a guilty verdict. They are experts in the 'law' after all.
