Sound the bell for Round One. One hundred, that is - we've begun a new chapter in the Judicial Neverending War, Judicial Subdivision.

And don't forget the power of the lurkers; when we assisted on voting for someone's dog recently, the pooch got about a million votes.

From Rocco, last thread:

Then he told me he's really more of a Republican than a Democrat because he's fiscally conservative and socially liberal.

I’ll bet he’s not the former because there are none anymore. Anyhoo, I sure as hell wouldn’t be trying to antagonize a dude who’s sticking a needle in my eye. ::shudder::

[Jane]

Just posted a long rant on the last thread about a conversation with my 95 year old mother who thinks Biden is brilliant and cognitive as hell and laughed when I suggested otherwise.

She scolded me for being so uninformed, and suggested I spend more time on The NY Times and Washington Post.

Then it got worse. I told her I didn't want to talk politics with her and she laughed at me, saying that was because I was so uninformed.

The woman loves to fight.

Likely Trump SCOTUS Pick Worked To Overturn 2000 Election
Trump says he expects the high court to decide the 2020 election — and if Barrett is appointed, the court will have 3 justices who worked directly on Bush v. Gore

When I clerked for Barrett she tried to adopt me twice against my will, called regular wine cis-substantiated, had a yellow phone with a secure line to the Vatican, and made me read all the memos out loud in Latin while facing away from her. Please Democrats, you must stop her.

She hopes Trump didn't destroy our wonderful relationship with China, and thinks having a conservative court is awful and can't believe what we did to Merrick Garland.

welcome to my world.

Jane, that's my world too. Had dinner with her last night and she raised this allegation about Trump saying "Jews are only in it for themselves." I presume that has about as much confirmation as the "veterans are suckers" claim. Usually she at least tries to avoid politics with me, but sometimes she can't help herself. Plus I get all the group emails to me and my crazy siblings.

Jimmy,

It’s mind blowing. She also said she was the most tolerant person on earth I find it surreal that 1. Anyone can believe that stuff, and 2. Actually thinks they are well informed. This is what we are up against!

[Rocco]

Thanks for all the well wishes friends.

[MissMarple2]

I bet this is one of the times President Trump is on time. Amy could give him that stern mother look if he's late.

[GUS]

MEL, this is Biden in a nut shell. He was TOLD what to say by his juvenile staff. He couldn't remember what they told him.

He will not be on stage with TRUMP. He wouldn't stand a chance.

[clarice]

Jane, ask her for an example of her tolerance.

[Momto2]

Wasn't someone wondering how the media/leftists/dems would find anything evil to say about Amy's children?

Ibram X. Kendi
@DrIbram

Some White colonizers "adopted" Black children. They "civilized" these "savage" children in the "superior" ways of White people, while using them as props in their lifelong pictures of denial, while cutting the biological parents of these children out of the picture of humanity.

[MissMarple2]

GUS,

That is what one of my sisters said this morning. She thinks his deterioration is getting worse by the day - visibly worse. (She's a nurse.)

I think that most of his staff doesn't recognize it so they just keep plodding along collecting their checks from the campaign or the DNC. Pelosi and other Democrat players don't want to pull him, because it will absolutely tank his chances and they do not have anyone to replace him, nor a mechanism to do so. Ballots have already gone out for absentees and some early voting. Plus Jill isn't going to say a damn thing.

I think Biden WILL participate, and will stumble around without making sense. I think originally Trump was going to be courteous and kind, but that insulting and ridiculous attack that he called fallen WWI soldiers suckers and losers infuriated him, and he as much as said he could go after Biden without worrying.

I think the standing on stage with Trump will be his undoing, though, before he even says a word. Trump's high energy is going to make him look feeble and sick.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

--Ibram X. Kendi--

This is the grinning peabrained genius we're supposed to listen to on race and "anti-racism".
Just another Marxist POS that might, MIGHT, be qualified to dig ditches, but was just smart and lucky enough to get on board the race hustler gravy train.
Sha Na Na Na Coates must be ticked he stole his mojo with the pony tail and the big teeth.

[GUS]

These bLACK CLOWNS are taking themselves seriously.
The SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY from KENTUCKY needs to do some serious time in Prison. This is not what MLK envisioned. Why does the left ignore STATISTICS with regard to black achievement or lake thereof, and criminal behavior.

SCIENCE!!!

[Momto2]

She has since deleted her tweet but someone saved it.

Can you read it? For those with various temporary eye issues "Ruth Ben-Ghiat tweeted - Building on @DrIbram, many authoritarians seized children of color for adoption by White Christians. Pinochet's regime did this with indigenous kids and Nazis took Aryan-looking Poles for German families. Trump takes migrant kids for adoption by Evangelicals."

DEAR IBRAM XXX KENDI, millions of black children don't have fathers. Those fathers rutted and then split the scene man. Clean up your filthy house, than come and talk to me about whitey from 400 years ago. Can you do that TRIPLE X???

[Jane]

Clarice,

She already told me: allowing me to have my own opinion. She’s a rampant narcissist, so even at 95 there is no winning. When it’s your mother, you always lose.

[bubarooni]

"And don't forget the power of the lurkers; when we assisted on voting for someone's dog recently, the pooch got about a million votes."

Not exactly a lurker but, I voted so I'm 1/1,000,000 of that vote total.

[jimmyk]

Though I'm down for tomorrow morning in the Biden debate drop-out pool, if he does debate my prediction is that he'll do better than the low bar he's set. He'll have Chris Wallace coaching and protecting him, and have lots of memorized lines ready to use if they're even vaguely related to the question. And he'll make up for lack of substance and coherence by saying whatever he says very FORCEFULLY and at times ANGRILY.

Meanwhile the media will be all over Trump if he says "who" when "whom" is grammatically correct.

[MissMarple2]

bubarooni,

I voted, too! I'm a sucker for a dog!

Jimmy,

I totally agree.

20 minutes til the announcement!

[GUS]

ADOPTING CHILDREN BY WHITEY BAD.
MURDERING black children in the womb or worse good.

[henry]

Jimmyk, plus the best uppers Hunter can score.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

What can you do with imbeciles like this?
Ibram X Kendi.

Kendi was born in the Jamaica neighborhood of the New York City borough of Queens, to Larry Rogers, a tax accountant and then hospital chaplain, and Carol Rogers, a former health care business analyst for a health-care organization. Both of his parents are now retired and work as Methodist ministers.

From third to eighth grade, Kendi attended private Christian schools in Queens. After attending John Bowne High School as a freshman, at age 15, Kendi moved with his family to Manassas, Virginia in 1997 and attended Stonewall Jackson High School for his final three years of high school, graduating in 2000.

In 2005, Kendi received dual Bachelor of Science degrees in African American Studies and magazine production from Florida A&M University. In 2007, Kendi earned an M.A. and in 2010 a PhD in African American Studies from Temple University. Kendi's dissertation was titled "The Black Campus Movement: An Afrocentric Narrative History of the Struggle to Diversify Higher Education, 1965-1972.”
In 2013, Kendi married Sadiqa Kendi, a pediatric emergency medicine doctor, in Jamaica in a ceremony officiated by Kendi's parents.

This guy is the living disproof of his life's work.
The vast, vast majority of white hillbillies I grew up with out here in whiteass rural CA grew up a lot less privileged than him and didn't have accountants and health care analysts for parents and they didn't marry doctors or write gawdawful bestsellers.

The best news in his bio is he had to attend Stonewall Jackson High School.
The bad news is he had colon cancer which had spread to his liver. If true then he is almost certainly not 'cancer free' as the wiki article states, but more probably terminal and just doesn't know it yet. I hope not for his and his family's sake but if we follow the science as the left always says...

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

Smoke has been vastly better if not absent the last few days, ever since we had that little sprinkle. And no new big fires have popped up. However, for the next three days we will be under Red Flag Warnings which basically means warm temps and high winds.
Might stir the existing fires up and will give any new ones a helping hand.
Praying neither occurs.

[GUS]

Jimmy, so you are suggesting that BIDEN will do his usual. Dishonest, loud and pretend.

[henry]

About all that corporate BLM cash...

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

I've been saying pretty much the same thing for months, jimmy.
Cagey morons set the bar nice and low. Low enough even a moron can clear it.

[Old Lurker]

Henry "About all that corporate BLM cash..."

Go read Jimmy's link earlier and note how rich people and businesses - circa 1915 Russia - contributed money to the BLM's and Anitfa's of their day who would soon murder them all.

[jimmyk]

Ha, Crazy Lawrence Tribe finds a clip of ACB purportedly arguing in 2016 that a president shouldn't appoint a SC justice in an election year if it will "dramatically flip the balance of power."

https://twitter.com/tribelaw/status/1309647930681446405

Unfortunately for him, someone found the full interview and the part Tribe clipped was of course wrenched out of context. (She was specifically looking at examples where the Senate and President were in different parties, as with Garland.) Overall she says nothing of the sort.

https://twitter.com/omarslopezarce/status/1309722816519049217

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

Anybody that gave money to that pasty faced, ginger, honky on behalf of black lives deserved to get swindled.

Are you suggesting TRIBE is a lying motherfucker???

[Porchlight]

Hello, JOM! I like the "Traditional ACB Open Thread", TM. :)

[lyle]

contributed money to the BLM's and Anitfa's of their day who would soon murder them all.

With nary the slightest whit of regret nor remorse but in righteous fury and dedication to the cause, man.

And these fools think that this time it will be different...

[Porchlight]

The left continues to wilfully misunderstand the Biden rule. Surprise.

[henry]

Trump live

[Old Lurker]

Gus, you did that all on a single line at 5:03. And half of it ("Are you suggesting") was not even germane to the central truth.

There it is, folks. What a timeline.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

--And these fools think that this time it will be different...--

It won't be noticeably different for the vapid fellow travelers, but it will be for the country because the Russians come from an unbroken history of invasion, domination, servitude, quiescence and silent suffering under the yoke of thousands of years of strongmen [and women].
We do not.

[Jack Lillywhite]

You mean there is some thing on TV other than Cincy v Atrmy?

[Extraneus]

Trump likes good-looking competent women, and isn't afraid of a fight. During their meeting ACB must have assured him that she isn't either. Surely they promised each other to fight to the finish no matter what.

[anonamom]

Trump likes good-looking competent women,

I've yet to meet a straight man who doesn't.

[JM Hanes]

henry:

The story about so-called "democracy events" you linked at 5:24 contributes to my unease about this election. Democrats don't seem to be campaigning for their actual candidates much at all. My mailbox is stuffed with Republican messages, letters, flyers and negative adverts about Democrat contenders, and I get almost nothing from Democrats. It's as though they already know they can't win in a "free and fair" election, because they've got nothing to sell. The suspicion that Democrats are spending their time figuring out how to manufacture votes on an epic scale instead of trying to win them has me pretty spooked.

[Another Bob]

I share those concerns JMH.

[clarice]

Project veritas promises they have an inside expose of the ballot gathering scam. Remember what a great job they did on Creamer last time around?

[henry]

JMH, agree. Keep an eye out for these games. Especially in your area as the two Republicans on the elections commission resigned in NC due to lying by the threeDems and MarkElias.

Back from the dog park where Teddy was well behaved with a Pug and met an Airedale doodle, Princees Leia, who was almost entirely black except a bare tinge of brown on the muzzle, but from the owner's description of raising her, she's definitely Airedale in disposition. Anyway, Trump yard signs are increasing by the day.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

I still regret Janice Rogers Brown never got to serve on SCOTUS but a succession of inferiors were appointed instead by Rep presidents.

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
I will oppose the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett, as I would any nominee proposed as part of this illegitimate sham process, barely one month before an election as Americans are already casting their votes. Americans deserve a voice in this hugely consequential decision.

https://twitter.com/RichardGrenell/status/1309984654145933312

[henry]

Is that a sham process, or a sham sham like your Vietnam tour?

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

--Has Sully branched out from gynecology to oncology?--

That was my editorializing on Kendi's reported cancer. If it spread from his colon to his liver it's metastatic. Metastatic cancer is also known as Stage IV cancer which is often also called incurable or terminal cancer because it usually is, though there are often periods after chemo or other treatments when people are described as 'cancer free'.

[MissMarple2]

My daughter just attacked me because I am voting for Trump, and said she is "sickened" that I support him.

To prove how evil he is I got the list from the Washington Post!! On You Tube with those weasel smug reporters, to even infuriate me more.

She didn't believe he got 2 Nobel nominations from Europeans and thought he had made it up, thinks he is destroying our country, thinks it's terrible Obamacare has been removed, thinks he has an unnatural attraction to Ivanka (that HAD to come from a leftist web site), does NOT believe Joe Biden has any form of dementia or mental incapacity, blah, blah.

I am here in my bedroom at the computer with a bottle of wine. I am trying to figure out why when I was a liberal and my dad decided he was going to vote for George Wallace because he couldn't stand George McGovern, I somehow still managed to get along with him and not be sickened.

I think in the spring I will look for an apartment, now that Maggie is gone.

I was very irritated today to see that Science magazine published an editorial by its editor, Holden Thorp, called something like "The Trump Lies." The shamelessness with which academics use their positions to push their politics appalls me.
