Joe is failing history 101 this morning claiming Columbia U didn’t learn from the protests of the 60s & 70s – who lets students occupy buildings? If this happened at Alabama it would be over in 5 minutes. Etc. Well, fine but that’s an untested hypothesis. He forgets, or never knew, that May, 1970 saw 2 weeks of protest of the Kent State shootings, the Vietnam War, civil rights and women’s rights. The protests included teach-ins, the burning of an abandoned building on campus, the occupation of the student union building helmeted State Troopers, etc. Tuscaloosa News.
TUSCALOOSA | On May 6, 1970, University of Alabama students set fire to an abandoned building on the UA campus, touching off nearly two weeks of unprecedented unrest at the Capstone.
The protest against the deaths of four students killed in an anti-war rally at Kent State University led to the arrest of dozens of students by UA police, Tuscaloosa police and the Alabama National Guard.
The events of May 6-19, 1970, during which the university was locked down and under virtual martial law, will be remembered from 1-4:30 p.m. Friday as part of “Days of Rage: A 40 Years’ Perspective” mini-conference at the Hotel Capstone.
The building set on fire was the abandoned Dressler Hall, where the Ferguson Center now stands. The building had served as the ROTC headquarters on campus and was scheduled for demolition. Details of the chaos of that night, which included student occupation of two buildings on campus, slowly unraveled in court during the next year. Charlie Grimm, at the time a member of the Crimson Tide wrestling team, was alleged to be an FBI informant and an agent provocateur in the torching of Dressler.
***
Jerry Rubin, one of the Chicago Seven acquitted of conspiracy and incitement to riot charges at the 1968 Democratic National Convention, spoke at Foster Auditorium on the UA campus on May 3. His speech is remembered as a call to arms just one day before National Guard troops opened fire on student protesters at Kent State in Ohio, killing four of them.
On Wednesday, Republicans repeatedly denounced characterizing the riot as an “insurrection.” Congressman Andrew Clyde said “there was an undisciplined mob,” but argued that “to call it an insurrection in my opinion is a bold-faced lie.”
“Watching the TV footage of those who entered the Capitol and walked through Statuary Hall, showed people in an orderly fashion in between the stanchions and ropes taking pictures. If you didn’t know the footage was from January 6, you would actually think it was a normal tourist visit,” Clyde said.

South Dakota governor Kristi Noem admitted to murdering her 14-month-old puppy, the former president is suspected of passing gas while snoozing in court, and there are new revelations from National Enquirer publisher David Pecker’s testimony in Donald Trump’s hush money trial.
Hi DaveB!
Glad you picked a horse… and yes… the Yankees still suck!
It’s Bring Your Son To Court Day. Eric just got in the car at Trump Tower.
First post of the day from his vehicle on the way to court.
See? EVERYBODY hates Clarence Thomas.
Moron. WTF is that supposed to mean? That Merchan should recuse himself because Dumbass doesn’t think he likes him?
“Mr. Trump views himself as own best legal strategist. Since becoming president, he has cast about for lawyers who would do exactly what he wanted, including helping him stay in office after he lost the 2020 election. He has vented to others that he does not have “a Roy Cohn,” a reference to his notoriously ruthless former lawyer. Mr. Cohn, who represented Mr. Trump in his formative business years, was repeatedly indicted and ultimately disbarred.”
Mr. Trump measures all lawyers against the two he prized most. One was Mr. Cohn, the mentor who gave him access to Manhattan elites and taught him how to use the court system as a blunt instrument. The other was Jay Goldberg, who before he died in 2022 handled various issues for Mr. Trump, including his divorce from his first wife.
Both Mr. Cohn and Mr. Goldberg also represented mobsters, and both were known for showmanship.
Mr. Cohn wowed Mr. Trump after the Justice Department filed a housing discrimination suit against him and his father in 1973. Mr. Cohn accused the federal government of “Gestapo-like tactics.” He delayed the case for months, settling it with a consent decree in 1975. Mr. Trump claimed victory.
To his biographer Timothy L. O’Brien, Mr. Trump was blunt about what he most admired about Mr. Cohn.
“He brutalized for you,” Mr. Trump said.
Judge Merchan imposes gag order fines, says, “While $1,000 may suffice in most instances to protect the dignity of the judicial system…it unfortunately will not achieve the desired result in those instances where the contemnor can easily afford such a fine.” Because he can’t impose a fine of $2,500 or $150,000, “jail may be a necessary punishment.”
Isaac Arnsdorf (WaPo) reported that Dumbass elaborated on the “Truth” you reported Poobah.”…he[Dumbass] criticized the judge in the hallway outside the courtroom. “I’ve never seen a judge so conflicted, and giving us virtually no rulings,” Trump said. “It’s the most recusable judge. It’s called recusal abuse. … But really, more importantly than the recusal, he should terminate the case today.”
Can’t wait to see whether her removes the 9 violations of the gag order from “Truth” Social and his campaign website.
Craig – I would expect stupid to be in a cell for at least a few hours by the end of next Monday. Hopefully not the court holding cell, but a nice one on Rikers Island. It is still open.
It has been a while so I am a little time hazed on this, Contempt of Court is not something that can be appealed. So there is no way to delay an order to incarcerate the fat slob.
Prosecutors now asking judge to let them show to the jury Trump’s posts attacking them and the witnesses. Prosecutor: “This is evidence of defendant’s consciousness of guilt”.
If judge goes for it that’s a punishment far worse than $1,000.
I would like to see the judge add jail days in increments for each continuing violation and then lock him up at the end of the trial irrespective of the verdict.
“What emerged in two interviews with Trump, and conversations with more than a dozen of his closest advisers and confidants, were the outlines of an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world.”
*Imperial
“To carry out a deportation operation designed to remove more than 11 million people from the country, Trump told me, he would be willing to build migrant detention camps and deploy the U.S. military, both at the border and inland.”
“He would let red states monitor women’s pregnancies and prosecute those who violate abortion bans. He would, at his personal discretion, withhold funds appropriated by Congress, according to top advisers.”
“He would be willing to fire a U.S. Attorney who doesn’t carry out his order to prosecute someone, breaking with a tradition of independent law enforcement that dates from America’s founding. He is weighing pardons for every one of his supporters accused of attacking the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, more than 800 of whom have pleaded guilty or been convicted by a jury.”
“He might not come to the aid of an attacked ally in Europe or Asia if he felt that country wasn’t paying enough for its own defense. He would gut the U.S. civil service, deploy the National Guard to American cities as he sees fit, close the White House pandemic-preparedness office, and staff his Administration with acolytes who back his false assertion that the 2020 election was stolen.”
“Trump has also vowed to appoint a “real special prosecutor” to go after Biden. “I wouldn’t want to hurt Biden,” he tells me. “I have too much respect for the office.” Seconds later, though, he suggests Biden’s fate may be tied to an upcoming Supreme Court ruling on whether Presidents can face criminal prosecution for acts committed in office. “If they said that a President doesn’t get immunity,” says Trump, “then Biden, I am sure, will be prosecuted for all of his crimes.” (Biden has not been charged with any, and a House Republican effort to impeach him has failed to unearth evidence of any crimes or misdemeanors, high or low.)”
“For an operation of that scale, Trump says he would rely mostly on the National Guard to round up and remove undocumented migrants throughout the country. “If they weren’t able to, then I’d use [other parts of] the military,” he says. When I ask if that means he would override the Posse Comitatus Act—an 1878 law that prohibits the use of military force on civilians—Trump seems unmoved by the weight of the statute. “Well, these aren’t civilians,” he says. “These are people that aren’t legally in our country.” He would also seek help from local police and says he would deny funding for jurisdictions that decline to adopt his policies.”
“Transactional isolationism may be the main strain of Trump’s foreign policy, but there are limits. Trump says he would join Israel’s side in a confrontation with Iran. “If they attack Israel, yes, we would be there,” he tells me.
“On the campaign trail, Trump uses crime as a cudgel, painting urban America as a savage hell-scape even though violent crime has declined in recent years, with homicides sinking 6% in 2022 and 13% in 2023, according to the FBI. When I point this out, Trump tells me he thinks the data, which is collected by state and local police departments, is rigged. “It’s a lie,” he says.
“There is a definite antiwhite feeling in the country,” he tells TIME, “and that can’t be allowed either.” In a second term, advisers say, a Trump Administration would rescind Biden’s Executive Orders designed to boost diversity and racial equity.”
“I think the enemy from within, in many cases, is much more dangerous for our country than the outside enemies of China, Russia, and various others,” he tells me.
*Unitary executive theory
“Whether or not he was kidding about bringing a tyrannical end to our 248-year experiment in democracy, I ask him, Don’t you see why many Americans see such talk of dictatorship as contrary to our most cherished principles? Trump says no. Quite the opposite, he insists. “I think a lot of people like it.”
For the love of democracy, I hope he eat s a pork chop smothered in gravy with a giant order of cheese fries for every meal. Cholesterol, do your job!
I hope he chokes on a pretzel and has no dog there to save him.

Is there any reason to worry about tRUMPsky in a jail cell?
Sure, he’d look like a victim to his followers, but not to the other 65-70% of the country.
Why do his followers want a wanna be dictator who’s a loser and whines about being victimized at every turn? They sure have a taste for sh/+.
I can understand intelligent conservatives, even the ones siding with Trump for their own selfish reasons i.e. McConnell.
I can’t stomach the unbelievably ignorant MAGAts with no knowledge of history or issues. I know they vote because that’s Democracy, but that fact scares the hell out of me.
Renee – Totally agree about the Yankees but must confess to having 2 Yankees on my fantasy team (Alex Verdugo, Aaron Judge) and only one Red Sox (had to have Kutter CRAWFORD)
I hope that Time article where tRUMPsky says the quiet part out loud really scared folks out of complacency.

Your hummus cartoon is amusing but not in the way the cartoonist thinks.
the joke is on the cartoonist.
What the cartoonist doesn’t realize is that the sign is entirely appropriate. The identity of hummus is part of the struggle. A little history
Jack
Isaac Arnsdorf (WaPo) reported that:
Former president Donald Trump posted on Truth Social on Tuesday afternoon about being unable to speak.
“This is a total Witch Hunt. Hours of sitting down and listening to nothing except EXONERATION AND LIES. The Trial is going like a speeding bullet, because the Judge is working hard to make all of his friends happy. Merchan is Rigged, Crooked, and, above all, and without question, CONFLICTED. It’s a disgrace to our Country — They’ve taken away my Right to Free Speech. ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!!”
And Michael Gold (NYT) reported that
Outside the courtroom, Trump once again called the gag order unconstitutional and repeated his claims that Justice Merchan was biased against him. And Trump, who will be back on the campaign trail tomorrow, complained that the trial was keeping him from campaigning.
Sounds like a guy who sees his criminal trial going in the wrong (right) direction. For a guy whose right to free speech has been taken away he sure can’t seem to shut the fuck up.
Former Trump aide Alyssa Farah Griffin on The View: “I read this TIME interview with Trump. He’s admitting he’s going to stack the government with loyalists and election deniers. He’s going to stack the White House with liars and lunatics. There will be no guardrails this time. It’s devastating to me, this is a party I’ve been a member of my whole life. It’s time that people start taking Donald Trump much more literally at his word.” — The View.. https://twitter.com/BidenHQ/status/1785399319450796286?t=20y8IjFunHafCNBWh1geRg&s=19
Trump tells Time he doesn’t rule out political violence if he loses election: “I don’t think we’re going to have that. I think we’re going to win. And if we don’t win, you know, it depends. It always depends on the fairness of an election.”
Maryland governor Wes Moore has a briefing every couple days covering the destroyed Key Bridge removal and Port of Baltimore reopening. Today he said “Biden-Harris” several times. No more “Biden”. I heard or read a headline about how VP Harris has been revived and is becoming a public side of the campaign.
I am not sure how significant this is, or the White House wants to emphasis her as part of the administration.
Considering that the briefings are 40 miles from the WH, Pentagon, and very important, Congress, I am thinking making sure to say both names is also strategic. The cost of recovery and a new bridge is not cheap.
Read between the lines.
What does he think, that he’s General Trump and will be leading an attack on … hmmm, there’s a problem. Does he call for another J6? Do you think he believes the gov’t won’t be anticipating it this time? And I’m sure his fat ass won’t be anywhere near where the crazies he’ll unleash on the Capitol will be causing mayhem – and likely be meeting uniformed soldiers rather than Capitol cops.
Why did tRUMPsky use the words “speeding bullet” in his post? IMO, he’s doing it to send a message to his followers, hoping one of them loves him enough/is nuts enough to do the deed.
Every word is “loaded.”
Looks like cannibis or whatever acronym, antonym or who cares, is going to be reclassified. Will the Congress agree? Of course not. But, the law enforcer says make it equivalent to the hormone testosterone. Watch for the screaming crying and rending of cloth from the magats – even though they are growers and consumers.
“President Biden’s reelection campaign trolled former President Trump for golfing on his day off from court Wednesday.
“We found out where Trump was. He was golfing. Not campaigning. Golfing,” Biden campaign spokesperson Ammar Moussa said in a statement, citing a CNN report that he was at his New Jersey golf club Bedminster.
But, when your entire campaign is about enacting revenge and retribution for yourself and doing nothing to make Americans’ lives better, it makes sense you wouldn’t feel the need to actually speak to voters,” Moussa added.
The Biden campaign released a statement Wednesday night, ahead of the reports of Trump golfing, with the subject line “Statement on Trump’s Campaign Events Today” and it read, “he had none.”
BB – Areas that became non-smoking (cigarettes) decades ago now smell like weed. I realize there are other ways to partake, but the smoke is everywhere. Not just in Times Square and Union Square Park, but my entire neighborhood in Texas now smells like pot. It’s gotten so bad that my apartment complex had to put out a notice reminding everyone that common areas are non-smoking, and new leases and renewals will require an agreement that the apartment/all units are non-smoking. Good luck with that. Smoke inhalation is bad for you, no matter what kind of smoke. Lungs don’t like smoke.
SFB violated his gag order, again, after being fined for violating his gag order.
Maybe 48 hours in the clink, in a cell by himself, eating whatever they decide to to serve for meals, and with no phone might just send him completely over the edge.
If he’s in solitary, the Secret Service can be outside guarding the door.
Plumpty is still permitted to trash the judge, is he not? Judge M did not place himself within the scope of the gag order, unless I missed a beat. Which is entirely possible.
Plumpty dozing again in his chair. I bet he still hears every word. If he one day slumps to the floor we can speculate otherwise. In the meantime, we get to imagine him in peaceful repose.
“In 2016, Kavanaugh reported in a financial disclosure owing between $60,004 and $200,000 in credit card and loan debt. But, as reported by Mother Jones, when he was nominated to the Supreme Court that debt had gone.”
“As reported by Mother Jones, while Kavanaugh did not spell out exactly how all the debt was paid off, his considerable family wealth was a relevant factor that may explain how at least some of the debts were addressed.”
“Most of the speculation about how this debt was settled hinges on the fact that Kavanaugh hasn’t clarified all of the specifics, apart from the friends who paid him back for baseball tickets.”
Mmm. Why doesn’t MAGAt Mike Johnson have a bank account?
“If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.”

The campus newspaper later interviewed folks involved. Crimson White. (https://thecrimsonwhite.com/2912/news/alumni-recount-past-ua-protests/). The protests lasted 2 weeks, led to cancellation of finals and closing the campus for the summer. Joe must have missed that.
so what’s a few broken windows and hanging on the building a gigantic sign calling for an intifada?

SFB violated his gag order, again, after being fined for violating his gag order.
Maybe 48 hours in the clink, in a cell by himself, eating whatever they decide to to serve for meals, and with no phone might just send him completely over the edge.
If he’s in solitary, the Secret Service can be outside guarding the door.
Plumpty is still permitted to trash the judge, is he not? Judge M did not place himself within the scope of the gag order, unless I missed a beat. Which is entirely possible.
Plumpty dozing again in his chair. I bet he still hears every word. If he one day slumps to the floor we can speculate otherwise. In the meantime, we get to imagine him in peaceful repose.
Cannabis……….Tobacco.
A weed is a weed is a weed.
Shit going down in NYC.

…an inspired 1st segment on Olbermann, today
It was. Calling certain members of SCOTUS on the carpet. Who did pay off Brett Kavanaugh’s debt and why?
https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-did-supreme-court-judge-brett-kavanaughs-100k-debt-disappear-1785043
“In 2016, Kavanaugh reported in a financial disclosure owing between $60,004 and $200,000 in credit card and loan debt. But, as reported by Mother Jones, when he was nominated to the Supreme Court that debt had gone.”
“As reported by Mother Jones, while Kavanaugh did not spell out exactly how all the debt was paid off, his considerable family wealth was a relevant factor that may explain how at least some of the debts were addressed.”
“Most of the speculation about how this debt was settled hinges on the fact that Kavanaugh hasn’t clarified all of the specifics, apart from the friends who paid him back for baseball tickets.”
Mmm. Why doesn’t MAGAt Mike Johnson have a bank account?
