Ta, Marcie. Dishonorable doesn't begin to cover it. What a fraud, as well as a POS.

Aaaand Trump's lawyers have already filed their first motion. They are dishonorable people.

Any lawyer who agrees to work for him should be automatically disbarred.

So, could Washington or California sue to keep Texas’ electoral votes from being counted? Sounds like it based on this guy’s “logic”.

no, see, you're thinking of supremacy clauses, but you specifically need to consider white supremacy clauses.

That's almost exactly what they tried

It sure seems like there's a deep alternate state at work here. Whole thing seems like a swamp.

Mark Martin is "...a member of the Judicial Advisory Member to the ABA Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility." Huh. I guess his role is devil's advocate: 'Why Ethics and Professional Responsibility harm the course of justice"

Somebody needs to get his ass fired, disbarred, and thrown miles away from anything having anything to do with "ethics."

OT, but I keep seeing insane posts claiming that Hurricane Helene was a man-made event, put together so that the government can get access to lithium deposits in eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina. I need to start taking better drugs, because I’m a relatively creative person who ingests a lot of THC, and even in my most incredible moments of being stoned I’ve never been able to come up with something that wacky. I wonder if these conspiracy theories are meth-based?

Everyone's known about this for months. We had a betting pool going on about which hurricane they were going to use for the scheme.

I didn't win.

Why would the government want access to lithium? They haven't got any mechanisms in place to extract it or refine it or use it. Might as well just let the existing owners extract it.

DoD signed an agreement a year ago. It would seem Hurricane Helene's horrific effects are going to enable extremely fast changes in the patterns of land use and ownership in the region for generations. https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/3522657/

It's quartz. Not lithium. They need lithium if they believe that crap.

Snake venom 'n battery acid, the old snake-handler standbys. That's popular up in them hills.

(And my uncle used to drive an ambulance, and had to handle those guys all the time, so don't @ me about it. Them'r my people!)

I'm going with hallucinogens. Opioids just make me sit and mumble. Alcohol leads to a nice long sleep.

OT. Weird science.

"Scientists create flies that stop when exposed to red light"

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/10/241002123015.htm

Well, it worked on that one scientist in "Andromeda Strain," so should work here. And now, flies will finally be able to obey traffic lights.

Now create flies that excel at "Simon Says."

Is that a photo of a future Mike Johnson learning of all the porn his wife watched?

Expand full comment

As we know from movies, college deans are stiff, authoritarian figures who don't want students to have any fun.

I say we prank his ass.

If I was going to caption that photo, the guy in the middle and the guy on the right would both be thinking: "Why are we standing here dressed alike?"
