It's a new world. Cup.

Citizenship question not on the 2020 census form.

Eddie Gallagher not guilty on charge of killing ISIS fighter.

Yang is the only Dem candidate other than Tulsi that I can tolerate.

[henry]

Yes offsides, lame red card.

[Captain Hate]

Well I'm glad to know that somebody's getting arrested. The 2nd sine qua non is whether or they are actually being charged and standing trial.

2017 Inauguration

Gallagher found not guilty.

[Old Lurker]

Wonder if this is true?

Fox News "The New York attorney general’s office said Tuesday the Justice Department has decided to print the 2020 Census without the citizenship question sought by the Trump administration, ending a contentious legal dispute over an issue that could soon affect the makeup of Congress and the Electoral College."

[clarice]

Apparently it is OL--Census said delaying it would bollix up the works.

[henry]

OK, that was on CNBC as well

[Captain Hate]

JMH,

I think DC's rioting law makes it really difficult to get a conviction; maybe clarice can weigh in on that. Plus DC juries.

[Buckeye]

Mrs. Buckeye is going to buy a Betsy Ross flag for Thursday.

I said it the other day. DoJ/FBI, many state governments and pretty much every big city government is on the side of the thugs/progs/"resistance" and against us.

We've seen this demonstrated time after time after time since the 2016 election.

So Roberts waits till the last day and effectively Pocket Veto an Executive Action of which he was not fond.

Cute.

[Captain Hate]

Why is the New York Attorney General announcing DOJ matters? Do I have to start with Sleepy Bob?

[JM Hanes]

Yo, you folks up north, you might want to get working on that wall:

Ontario's top court has ruled that the federal carbon price law is constitutional.

In other news:

House committee files lawsuit seeking Trump’s tax returns

Tentatively scheduled for a full SCOTUS hearing in October 2027.

[Threadkiller]

No citizenship question equals me sitting out the 2020 election.

It's a California vote so it won't make a difference. Hopefully his flyover state "lock her up" charade works out for him.

I had a bet with someone on how well Trump would do in California. If the Citizenship cave-in is true, I have no chance.

Please prepare an IV cocktail for me, OL. It is nap time on The Ledge and I don't want to be sober in my slumber.

[JM Hanes]

I swear I had not read Instapundit today before I used the unsurprised phrase. Maybe there's pretty much nothing surprising left.

[henry]

So Roberts wasn’t satisfied with destroying healthcare, he had to destroy sovereignty too. Must have a portrait of Benedict Arnold in his office.

[clarice]

That's it, CH.

[D]

I broke the story about the citizenship question and the Eddie Gallagher acquittal.

[anonamom]

Rapinoe should be the latest Trumpenfreunde List addition.

To stay on topic- How about the USA Team win in the World Cup!

[peter]

Any word on the Gallagher verdict?

[cathyf]

Stupid. They should have printed the census with the citizenship question, and sent black sharpies to delete if necessary. (And with the computerized version it's easy to delete the question later, easy to just leave the database column blank, etc.) As long as you supply the sharpies, it's left open for the future court ruling on the question.

[D]

We are 50/50 on good news and bad news these days:
Good: Acquittal of Eddie Gallagher
Bad: No citizenship question on census
Good: President Trump’s successful G-20 experience
Bad: House suing him for tax returns
Good:
Great 4th of July celebration in Washington courtesy of Trump administration
Bad: No Horowitz report or indictments from Dirham yet.

[Gentlejim]

I agree re: lack of citizenship question on census. The squish Roberts believes the reasoning for the question is dubious, but it’s ok to ask how many shitters I have in my house.

Maryrose,
I thought you knew better than to post on topic. :)

[Threadkiller]

From Clarice's link:

The whole study is extremely interesting because it blows apart lots of leftist myths.  The U.S. media scene is smogged by phony "narratives" about migrants, all contorted to benefit Democrat interests.  This report provides clarity. 

Clarity to whom? The people who care already know it and the people who don't care won't report it.

Maybe Trump can tweet about it.

I would love to be in D.C. for the 4th celebration. My husband proposed to me on the 4th of July 1987 on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial! Even that year, the fireworks were amazing so I can only imagine how they will be this year.

[Threadkiller]

Sorry. I'm really sour about the citizenship question. Until I hear it directly from the Dept of Commerce I will hang onto hope, though.

Back to lurking.

[Momto2]

Yes, cathyf - Why is the default position always the worst one for our country?

[henry]

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, in a statement provided to Government Executive, said “I respect the Supreme Court but strongly disagree with its ruling regarding my decision to reinstate a citizenship question on the 2020 Census. The Census Bureau has started the process of printing the decennial questionnaires without the question. My focus, and that of the Bureau and the entire department is to conduct a complete and accurate census.”

[Comanche Voter]

Rapinoe supposedly had a hamstring problem. Christen Press subbed in for her and she is no slouch. Got a goal. The US Women's Team (as cocky as Donald Trump) said that their team--starters and reserves --were the two best teams in the World Cup. They just might be right.

But it was a hard fought game on both sides, and highly entertaining. I'm wondering just how black and blue Alex Morgan will be when the final game is played. The other teams have been using her for a punching bag. And Tobin Heath has had a magnificent tournament, but she finally wore out today.

Can't they print a separate page with the citizenship question, after this gets settled?

[Threadkiller]

Thanks, henry.

What a bunch of gutless fags.

Print the f-n question on a separate page!

This is a huge fail.

I haven't been posting much due to having limited hand/ wrist/arm movement but after having 7 casts I finally have graduated to a soft brace. My next mode of treatment is a bone stimulator. Has anyone else had experience with such a device?

[henry]

Maybe the citizenship question ends up on the in depth survey... where they send someone from the government to harass you for an hour at your home.

You got it right. I have no idea why these guys read Tom and then post nasty stuff in return.

Not swearing this is true. Showed up on Twitter.

I think they could, MM. But the pansies weren't prepared to defend their position even after Roberts gave them a chance.

This was a scam to get votes. Now that it failed the new scam will be "we need Trump now more than ever so this doesn't happen again!"

[Jane]

Gallagher found not guilty.

I'm thrilled!

Good luck, TLG. I am sorry the healing has taken so long. I don't have an answer on the simulator .

Yes they are effective. Take a look at this. It explains it pretty well.

http://bonestimulation.com/how-it-works/

Glad you are making progress.

[MissMarple2]

TK,

Perhaps there are other things going on we don't know about.

For example, if they changed the reasoning do you think that it wouldn't have been challenged? We are dealing here with nut cases which have armies of lawyers to tie things up, anyway.

However, I am not going to get in an argument with you. You hold your opinion, and I will keep my opinion to myself. Neither of us has any control over this, anyway.

I would like to see Roberts retire early.

[D]

Add an additional page to the census.
Not like Trump to give up the fight so easily.
Jane:
We have to show the truth and enlighten not only posters here but those who lurk here as well.
We can’t let fiction prevail.
We have enough of that with fake news and 4D garbage.

[D]

MM:
Roberts retire early?
That is so not going to happen.Why would he?
I know I am by myself in not believing he is being blackmailed.

[D]

TLG:
Sorry about your experience
Hope healing continues.

[Narciso79]

Thate not going to happen, hes grown in the parlance of American spectators Tom Bethell

[bubarooni]

The Brit press was complaining pre match that the American gals were a bit to celebratory in their wins and exhibiting poor sportsmanship.

I heard on the radio today that one of our lasses, after scoring a goal, lifted her hand up to her mouth as to take a sip of tea with her pinky extended.

Unlikely to tamp down the Brit's distress at the Ami's unruly behavior.

I personally find it quite amusing.

[Threadkiller]

However, I am not going to get in an argument with you.

And I will not get in an argument with you, but I will answer your question that came before your pledge.

For example, if they changed the reasoning do you think that it wouldn't have been challenged?

I am certain that they didn't change their reasoning and attempt to get to a point where it could have been challenged. They chumped American Sovereignty with that bit of cowardice.

[Threadkiller]

Trump's only out is to run effective ICE raids and remove the non-citizens.

Change my mind.

[Momto2]

TLG - Hope all of this works quickly! I know having mobility restrictions is not fun. Research bone broth and consider adding it to your diet. The first choice is homemade but if you are not able to do that, I like the brand Kettle and Fire.

[bubarooni]

I can't wait to see the tanks on the Mall on the Fourth.

I read in comments on a blog today they presage the opening moves of a coup by the Unelected One. The rounding up of The Resistance.

One can only hope it leads to the inclusion of the citizenship question on the census.

[Narciso79]

Good news buckeye and tlg.

[Narciso79]

That was fujimoris strategy when dealing with the shining path, which was a much more existential threat than so called antifa.

Ice raids coming after the 4th, according to the President. Maybe that is why.

Also, do we know who was in charge of the SC case?

[JM Hanes]

Trouble for Team Mueller? As if. People light candles to his sainted name. And even if Republicans actually bestir themselves to ask him damning questions when he testifies, which is doubtful, he won’t answer them. He says he’s going to stick to the report — or some such formulation — which means he doesn’t plan to expand upon any subject not already covered in the document his team produced. Dems will pontificate, instead of asking meaningful questions, and GOPe, in full virtue signalling mode, will praise his measured approach in refusing to besmirch the President outright. I’ll be having cocktails on the Ledge when that hearing takes place, ‘cause I’ve been disappointed by our side too many times. It will be a pleasant surprise if anybody even manages to leave a mark. I still hold out hope when it comes to perp walking Comey, but I don’t think there’s a chance in hell of Mueller going down with the ship.

[Narciso79]

Yes, Robert Mueller deserves the fate of a guest star on the blacklist,
