North Dakota troublemakers still making trouble Some good news for the ol' First Amendment Monday, as a judge dismissed charges of participating in a riot against Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman for covering protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline. Goodman and her video crew, you'll recall, recorded
I laid pipe. The best pipe. Bigly pipe. Some people say, so unfair, small pipe. That's why we need reform. About pipe. My pipe. To sue. Over pipe. Tremendous pipe. Make America greatly piped again. - The Pied Piper of Hamagain.
What? Amy Goodman walks and our beloved Shailene Woodley will have to suffer the horrors of oppression as if she were living in some knockoff of the Hunger Games?
We have a well-known birther judge here, Gary Kreep, who, according today's legal paper, the Daily Transcript, is in hot water for procedural violations, campaign finance "misreporting" and being a generally great guy who has said things like: "We got all kinds of very attractive, young [public defenders] around here.β And βSpeaking of prostitution, hereβs Ms. Westfallβ referring to a deputy city attorney. And he once asked a woman accused of prostitution: βIs it you like the money? Or you just like the action.β Sadly, his term isnβt up for 2 more years but formal charges have been brought by the Commission on Judicial Performance.
people are complicated, apparently ladd erickson is a big fan of matt taibi and knew about amy goodman from his interviews with her. how is this guy a fan of matt taibi? that's like paul ryan being a rage against the machine fan. his article on this is pretty funny
I could be wrong, but from what I read it looks like Goodman was charged later, after the fact, not at the scene, on the basis of her having been there at at the time, and then a warrant was issued for her arrest.

I'll believe that when one of them starts bleeding from its wherevers.

Where is the justice?
Dogs biting protesters doesn't get prosecuted because it would violate the dogs' rights of, I dunno, free association or something.
538 is favoring the Cubs to win the pennant, 59 to 41 percent. But the Dodgers are probably winning all the online polls. Bigly.
Are they cold? Perhaps the oil company could hand out nice warm blankets. You know, like the ones they gave the Cherokee back in the day.

So many upfists β in spirit, at least.
That'll work ....
Why is no one being prosecuted for sicking dogs on human beings? This is not the 60s.

If the Senate doesn't confirm Garland out of spite after you win, Baconz should be your nominee.
"Sikhs PAC." "Sikhs PAC."
Trix, this man deserves a position with Teh Wonket.
That's enough now, Ladd.
What do you expect from people so oblivious that they once referred to themselves as "Teabaggers"?
