The Morning Report — 5/30/24

Good morning, kids. Frankly it's kind of hard for anything to surprise and disgust me anymore insofar as the witnessing of the complete dissolution of the land and society that I had grown up in. Does this hack in black Juan Merchan's jury instructions really shock you given the fact that the charges against Donald Trump not just in this case but in every case he faces are at best spurious and in this case are nothing more than writs of attainder meant to destroy a political enemy who thtreatens the power of those who are in point of fact guilty of a multi-generational overthrow of our government and way of life that ">Trump, more than anyone if not derailed then for sure exposed to so many of us who suspected and feared it to be the case all along:

New York State Justice Juan Merchan, who is presiding over New York prosecutor Alvin Bragg's trial of President Trump over a bookkeeping issue is getting sleazier now that Bragg's case is starting to fall apart, giving the Red Queen of the Alice In Wonderland story a run for her money.
At issue now are his instructions to the 12-person jury as it goes into deliberations, telling them that they don't need to agree about what the supposed 'underlying' crime of Donald Trump was that would make his hush money payment to porn "star" Stormy Daniels a felony, which is the legal basis for turning the bookkeeping issue into a 34-count felony. They just need to think that Trump was thinking about commiting a crime when he signed off on the check and what that crime was can be anyone's guess.
But no matter: Sentence first, verdict later.
And he started this out with a doozy of bad behavior, going all Eddie Haskell on the jury to begin, as if in a bid to butter them up to do things in his biased way. Normally, juries are praised after they render their verdicts by judges.
But Merchan is special. . .
. . . Merchan instructed them to come up with any underlying crime they liked, and to be helpful, offered them a three-course smorgasbord of possibilities, though I am sure he wouldn't be bothered if one of them got creative and came up with a different one of his own.
. . . "Outrageous. In a normal criminal case every statutory crime has what we call elements of the offense. Like in a bank robbery case you have to rob – it has to be a financial institution, you have to show intent," said former prosecutor Andrew McCarthy. "Those are the things the jury has to agree on unanimously that they were proved beyond a reasonable doubt. Here what we’re doing is taking the element that actually makes this a felony, because remember falsification of records is normally a misdemeanor in New York. What makes it a felony is that you are concealing or committing another crime." "And here the judge is telling them they don’t have to agree about what the other crime is under circumstances where that not only is what makes this a felony, makes it a four-year potential prison penalty rather than a year or less, but it is also what gets us into the courtroom." "If this had been a misdemeanor, the time to bring this case would have lapsed in 2019. The only reason they are still able to bring this case is because it’s a felony allegedly and yet now the judge is saying you know, you don’t have to agree on what the felony is."
Trump, of course, was never told which of the underlying crimes he supposedly committed in the courtroom, so he was not able to defend himself from them, which according to some legal observers violates the equal protection clause.
His instructions actually were illegal, based on a recent Supreme Court case in an opinion written by left-leaning Justice Stephen Breyer that right-leaning Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas concurred with, regarding the critical need for unanimity regarding an underlying crime:
Yet he seemed to know that he gave illegal instructions because he insisted that no written instructions be given to the jury. That way, his hands would be clean when the jury attempted to explain its logic and the judicial regulators started looking in askance at his jughead grasp of the law. Who, me, give bad instructions? They must have heard me wrong.
Not surprisingly, the jury found this confusing. They sent a note asking him to repeat those instructions:
Even CNN's analyst found it skeevy. . .
. . . All of this comes on top of Merchan's other bad acts, such as gag orders, which are normally issued to protect defendants, not prosecutors; a refusal to allow President Trump to use an 'advice of council' defense after he was badly advised by former fixer Michael Cohen; and suppression of President Trump's most important witnesses, such as former FEC chief Brian Smith from testifying that they never prosecuted for these kinds of claimed "crimes."

This is all Lavrenty Beria insofar as it's a classic case of Show me the man and I'll show you the crime. There's a niggling (racist?) feeling I'm getting that perhaps the Junta fears there may be at least one or perhaps even more than one juror who might actually not vote the right way, i.e. to convict Trump. Meh, as a former New Yorker who needs jurors when you have the likes of BLM and ANtifa at your beck and call, along with perhaps the IRS and every other damned Stasi-gestapo government goon squad to do to you and yours what's being done to Trump. Hell, it's been done already to anyone who resists School indoctrination to being mugged on a subway train.
When they say by any means necessary, you better believe it. If by some miracle Trump somehow dodges this bullet, you better believe there will be real bullets he's going to have to dodge before November.
Anyway, there are a couple of things that at least give me a little bit of hope to cling to. First, is the unlikeliest of individuals that I thought I'd admire, and that is <the Senator from Pennsylvania

Sen. John Fetterman told Yeshiva University graduates Wednesday that he was “profoundly disappointed” in Harvard University’s inability to address antisemitism on campus before removing the ceremonial crimson academic hood representing his alma mater.
The Pennsylvania Democrat expressed his disapproval with the Ivy League school during his commencement address for the private Orthodox Jewish university, which bestowed him with its “Hero of Israel” award, the institution’s highest honor.
“I have been profoundly disappointed [in] Harvard’s inability to stand up for the Jewish community after Oct. 7,” Fetterman, 54, told the new grads at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens. . .
. . . Fetterman, a staunch supporter of Israel’s war against Hamas, received a standing ovation after the symbolic gesture.
“The Jewish community everywhere deserves our support,” he added.
“And I promise you will always have mine.”
Fetterman’s remarks were well received, and he was spotted dancing with students and school leaders after delivering his speech.
Here's one where the tea leaves are a bit murkier in some regards, but hopefully it's a glass half full and not haf empty:

The Democratic polling firm Blueprint got some disturbing results from an online poll of 943 18 to 30-year-old registered voters.
The poll found "49% agreed to some extent that elections in the country don’t represent people like them; 51% agreed to some extent that the political system in the US 'doesn’t work for people like me;' and 64% backed the statement that 'America is in decline.'”
... The poll also found that 65% agreed strongly or somewhat with the statement, "Nearly all politicians are corrupt." Only 7% disagreed.
Usually, I never get too riled about the younger generation's thoughts on America. I remember when I was 21 and believed the world would end before I was 30 and that America was going downhill fast.
Many of us older folk today look at the youth of America and worry about the future. But then I remember my grandparents fretting about my generation, which is just like their grandparents worrying about the future. It's a rite of passage.
Is this generation any different? Maybe.

THe fly in the ointment as it were is do they see America in decline because Socialism/Marxism and DEI have not supplanted colonialist racist capitalist America as founded, or because they understand that they've been lied to all their lives in school and the media and everywhere else?

Of all the things that are of primary importance will be the deprogramming of the past three generations of the American mind and the complete evisceration of the brainwashing/indoctrination complex that is Academia from K-post grad as well as the re-establishment of some sort of moral/ethical foundation that was and will always be the bedrock of a free and forward moving society and human condition.

24 Trump estimates the deportation of 15 million to 20 million illegal immigrants, so taking his highest estimate and Matthews' highest estimate (which is certainly suspect), the total cost will be $1 trillion over ten years.

However, according to David Zimmermann in a National Review article, illegal immigrants cost the U.S. taxpayers $450 billion each year. A report by the House House Committee on Homeland Security reports that figure. Let's see, $450 billion times ten years is $4.5 trillion.

"Mark, a Londoner in his 20s, has become increasingly interested in bug chasing, and engages in unprotected sex with HIV-positive partners. However, he normally feels remorseful the morning after and uses PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis). Another participant said he is aroused by the thought of being infected, and yet has enrolled on the PrEP Impact trial.

The use of PrEP and PEP reveals a contradiction between their fantasies and their realities. They are not entirely fantasists, as they engage in sex with a bug chasing intent, yet they are not entirely realistic about it either, for they take active steps to prevent HIV through PrEP and PEP."

62 I've never served on a petit jury, but when I served on a grand jury, all of us were issued a 3-ring binder that contained copies of all of the relevant state statutes that were being applied to the crimes we discussed. That way, as jurors, we had access to the actual statutes and could read them for ourselves. If we found any of them confusing, we could ask the prosecuting attorney to explain them to us so that we fully understood the context of the crime under discussion.

The fact that Merchan is going out of his way to deny the jurors key information (like a transcript of his instructions or prosecuting witness testimony) just shows how corrupt this piece of scum actually is.

65 Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is appealing a decision by the judge overseeing the Georgia election interference case dismissing some of the charges against former President Donald Trump.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee wrote in an order in March that six of the counts in the indictment must be quashed, including three against Trump.

"As written, these six counts contain all the essential elements of the crimes but fail to allege sufficient detail regarding the nature of their commission, i.e., the underlying felony solicited. Kimbrough, 300 Ga. at 884. They do not give the Defendants enough information to prepare their defenses intelligently, as the Defendants could have violated the Constitutions and thus the statute in dozens, if not hundreds, of distinct ways," McAfee wrote.

The fact that Merchan is going out of his way to deny the jurors key information (like a transcript of his instructions or prosecuting witness testimony) just shows how corrupt this piece of scum actually is.

Were I a juror in this trial:

I understand that the prosecution is going to play games, and present cherry picked evidence, leaving little details out that are exculpatory, and try to emotionally manipulate the jury. That's pretty much expected, and why the defense is there to help counter that. Adversarial system, after all.

But when the court itself starts playing playing this kind of prosecutorial gamesmanship, favouring an outcome of guilty, manipulating the jury, and hampering its ability to come to a just conclusion? That would cause me to remember (and keep strongly in mind) Blackstone's formulation: "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer."

And the nonsense of instructing the jury that they can find the defendant guilty for anything, even things not stated in the trial? That's enough to push me right over to a "jury nullification" mindset.

And that's why I'd get tossed during jury selection.

106 While the app’s terms of service claim the company “stand firmly against any form of exploitation, especially those involving minors or human trafficking,” this is essentially what it will be accomplishing. In what world will a wealthy man with access to a private jet and a sprawling suite with pool and dome views in Greece spend the time or money on an 18+ woman and not expect more than a smile when the sun goes down?

~~So, the issue wasn't that Trump said pussy, it's that he pointed out what the "elites" are stupid enough to believe is a secret.~~

>>More likely, the lawyer knows that it's his job to do what the client (in this case, the judge) wants and come up with justifications for doing so.

The jury has already accepted, ipso facto that there was business record fraud and an unspecified campaign finance violation, now all they are trying to convince themselves of is that there was a conspiracy and intent to cover up the unspecified election violation by falsifying the business record, based on the testimony they wanted read back.

This is more than likely being led by the two retard lawyers on the jury.

They'll probably get picked up by Perkin Coie and get a 7 figure book deal out of this.

As I said on the ONT, Dot was leased out to breeders in California so they could get a litter out of her, from which we were to get a pick puppy back.

They tried everything. Natural cover, artificial insemination, surgical implantation. Nothing took. They and we were ready to give up and return Dot to us to become Permanent House Dog at Schloss Hadrian. That's one of the reasons why Her Majesty is slogging up to Washington state right now.

If you want to hear God laugh, make plans. Dot was eventually bred, accidentally. Inattentive kennel help let her dig out of her pen and get it on with another Borzoi male there - it will require a DNA test to determine who the Daddy is - and yesterday she whelped.

She'll be 9 in September. We now can't get her back for months, apart from the logistics of doing so. Perhaps in December.

One really stuck in my craw yesterday…. Mark Davis interviewing Texas state rep Jeff Leach on Dallas radio yesterday. Leach barely survived his primary because GOP voters all over Texas are disgusted with the Ken Paxton impeachment (led by republicans of course) and disgusted that Dade Phelan decided to power share with Dems. Several GOP bums were primaried and thrown out on these 2 issues. Phelan survived by the skin of his teeth. So Davis asked Leach: Are you ready to admit that impeachment was a mistake? Leach answer (with arrogant hackles up): No way, I don’t regret a thing. This Leach guy doesn’t have the humility to admit what the voters of his own party told him…. LOUDLY. What an arrogant ass…. And I’d bet dollars to donuts he has an impressively “conservative” voting record. How dare the voters disagree with me!!

I don't believe polls. That said, this one more or less mirrors my assessment.

I've long said that only about half of Democrats, perhaps a quarter to a third of the total population, still believe in the regime.

The rest of Dems and """independents"''" are zombie voters like Republicans, voting for their preferred wing of the Uniparty practically as an autonomic nervous response, while they know at a conscious level that it does absolutely nothing.

I believe a large majority of American voters are effectively engaging in a cargo cult ritual, where they hope that the act of voting will create representative government. Like a deeply confused woman believing that tying a yellow ribbon around a tree will actually help bring her husband home from the war.

But there is the very real possibility that Bragg would expedite the case and then keep President Trump off the campaign trail for another two months.

In the event of a guilty verdict, I would not be surprised at all if Merchan remanded Trump to custody immediately. Remember, these are communists we are dealing with.

The only good outcome would be an acquittal. Then all we'd have to worry about are the society-destroying riots.

But I think hung jury will be the case. If they believe the propaganda about Trump supporters they may fear for their own lives by putting him in jail. I can't say I feel bad about that. I do believe there might be some people willing to do bad things.

263 Seventy-three percent of voters believe Biden’s America is “out of control, on wrong track,” topping the record high that George W. Bush set in 2008 — 70 percent. Barack Obama set the third-highest rating at 65 percent.

The poll noted several additional findings. It reported that Trump leads Biden in six of the six swing states, including Wisconsin, a state where other polls showed Biden leading Trump.

The survey also reported that non-white voters are trending away from Democrats, while the Republican Party is surging among the demographic. In four years, non-white voters shifted about 40 points in favor of Republicans.

Posted by: tubal at May 30, 2024 08:16 AM (PCK5/)

In this case, almost certainly. Normally, after a couple days, the jury could tell the judge that they're hopelessly deadlocked, he'd tell them keep at it, they'd go another day or so and say we're still deadlocked, asshole. Since he's ordered that Trump must remain in the court while the jury deliberates, however, I can see him being unwilling to let them say "we're outta here".

278 The Biden administration and the media are giving every indication that they understand this is a disaster of PR and the longer it goes on, the worse it goes for them. This is about winning an election, not a conviction. At the moment, Trump is winning the election battlefield for the case. They don't care if they win the appeal. It will be too late. They won't arrest him before a conviction because that would make people more angry. I do think he will be arrested immediately if there is a conviction and I do agree the risk to his life at that point will be very real.

344 What the hell does this mean? Did it release this *past* weekend and is thus now available, or will it be available on Monday after it releases this *upcoming* weekend? If it was the former, why did they wait until Thursday to announce it, and do so with an absence of clarity? If it is the latter (which I suspect, given the timing), why is it written in an incomprehensible amalgam of present and future tense?
Posted by: Joe Mannix (not a cop!) at May 30, 2024 08:41 AM (d04cU)

Which weekend is actually clear. And they announced it on Thursday because its been broken since they did the upgrade - over the weekend - and they just now got it working.

The lack of clarity is so that you will be all "hooray" about it being available rather than "you effers broke it for 5 days?"

386 Editorial in yesterday's WSJ detailed this -- EEOC changes law from protecting pregnant employees to pro-abortion law: The harassment guidance is not the only controversial statute recently put in force by the EEOC. Last month, the EEOC delivered its final rule that implements the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. The bipartisan (and U,S. Conference of Catholic Bishops-supported) PWFA requires employers to accommodate pregnant, post-partum, and infertile workers unless doing so would cause undue hardship to an employer. That’s an initiative we can all get on board with.

However, due to a surreptitious line of text appended by the EEOC in their final rule implementing the Act, companies will also have to accommodate time-off requests so female workers can access an abortion. Naturally, religious employers immediately decried this addition, stating that forced accommodation of abortion amounted to religious discrimination.

I blame Congress for its penchant for passing laws that are frameworks for bureaucrats to hast out the details (e.g. Obamacare giving HHS power to define the details).

I always find it a bit amusing when conservatives write-off entire states because they are majority blue. Leftists never do that. They realize that even the most red states have a significant number of leftists and they work to get more. You don't win by running away.

Why did Trump hold rallies in NJ and NY? Because he's going to flip them tomorrow? Doubtful. But he has made significant inroads and is going to force Democrats to pour resources into those places when they would rather spend them in swing states.

Texas almost removed their very effective AG because leftists never stop fighting. Maybe we shouldn't either. Yes, we will lose more fights than we win. Boo hoo. It's about winning the war not battles.

413 Cruz counted on incumbency and the bad advice of consultants (grassroots moves like block walking and door knocking make them no money).

Cruz is yet another Do Nothing Republican. He dishes out sick burns on X and mocks retarded Dem hacks during senate interrogations. Wow.

I think the only thing his feeble campaign talked about was how he was going to fix schools, which is odd thing since Texas has independent school districts, anything related to Texas teachers stops in Austin (not Babylon DC).

Furthermore, his consultants made it sound like he was a Big Statist advocate for moar government schools - a local issue. Not only did I not know what office Cruz was running for, but not even what Party.

421 Federal crimes are made up of factual elements, which are ordinarily listed in the statute that defines the crime. A (hypothetical) robbery statute, for example, that makes it a crime (1) to take (2) from a person (3) through force or the threat of force (4) property (5) belonging to a bank would have defined the crime of robbery in terms of the five elements just mentioned. Cf. 18 U. S. C. § 2113(a). Calling a particular kind of fact an "element" carries certain legal consequences. Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U. S. 224, 239 (199

; Fed. Rule Crim. Proc. 31(a).

So the Big Govt must lay a foundation, put up walls, and cover with a roof. None of this happened in NY.

449 Edited for space!

Justice Has Been Done. Trump has finally been subjected to the rule of law. We should appreciate this moment and understand that, whatever the outcome, the system worked.

people expressed a number of concerns. All of them have were allayed:
1- The case was weak. The prosecution presented a case so substantial, it is clear not charging Trump would have been contrary to the interests of justice.

2- This application of the law was too novel. The case survived pretrial motions and went the distance to the jury.

3- The timing was bad. Without Bragg’s indictment, there would have been no legal accountability for Trump prior to the 2024 election

4- The trial was about a porn star. Evidence presented made it clear it was about the commission of election fraud

5- The trial would be a circus. Juan Merchan kept control of the trial and never allowed the proceedings to devolve out of order.

6- Trump couldn’t get a fair trial. Both the prosecution and the defense are satisfied that they were able to impanel an impartial jury of Trump’s peers. The Biden administration stayed far away from the case and never gave even the appearance of interference.

Do I think NJ is going red this election? Probably not. However, there still is a possibility.

Democrats in NJ are largely concentrated in the cities like Newark, Trenton, Paterson, etc. and these cities are majority minority--the very people who are most hurt by Biden's policies. It is possible that they are dejected enough to stay home, while Trump voters are willing to crawl over glass shards to vote this year.

487 NASA papered over the astronaut rescue plan on the launch pad.

The reality was that there were not enough hatch tools to open and close the hatch.

One of Congress's findings resulted in about 50 hatch tools being fabricated.

There was also a problem with rescue being able to get to the hatch with the limited capacity of the Scott air packs.

And the fantasy of RTLS after it was launched.

NASA got caught with a whole bunch of BS going on when Challenger was lost.

And they never learned their lesson other than loosing a vehicle and crew got them more money and time.

Seems easy enough, doesn't it?

Except when you realize women are giving that stuff away casually now and have little to no respect for their bodies. Matter of fact, many make the *good* marriage-material guys wait while the friends-with-benefits get it whenever.

Add no-fault divorce to the mix, and that's where the question arises.

I have made the case before that Israel's political system is so chaotic and dysfunctional that only someone with Bibi's peculiar qualities could rise to the top and stay there for any length of time. Look at the history - Israel has had a long line of bad PM's, and not very many good ones. The system doesn't allow it.

508 455 This video explains how the Shuttle was designed -
youtu.be/MShnWhUGqHw
NaCly Dog had some good comments about it also.
If I'm interpreting this properly, Shuttle had abort procedures for when still on the ground (so Apollo 1 couldn't happen) but not when in the air.
Challenger might have been designed with better crew-escape options. Not Columbia though.

Posted by: youtube watcher at May 30, 2024 09:13 AM (gKWVE)

The Space Shuttle had several abort options during ascent:

https://tinyurl.com/h6bvwsz4

They did not cover the entire ascent phase. The RTLS (Return To Launch Site) option was high risk, but doable, and the only chance the crew had early in ascent. Water landing was rated non-survivable. All abort options were based on the Orbiter being intact and fully functional at abort initiation.

Trump supporters were nothing special - they were merely conservatives who had chosen Trump over him. He was their second choice, the idiot.
