“ted cruz out-slimes himself…” and other news of note
President Joe Biden is in Brussels for an emergency summit with our NATO allies, President Zelensky of Ukraine in inspiring people all over the world with his fashion sense, Putin products are all over Etsy, Donald Trump may have caught another lucky break thanks to a newly-elected District Attorney who appears to be backing off the case against him, Donny also filed a lawsuit against Hillary Clinton for conspiring to undermine his campaign, Mo Brooks of Alabama urged voters to move on from the 2020 election and is now getting dumped by Trump, Ted Cruz’s tirade at the Ketanji Brown Jackson hearings has inspired a spike in sales on Amazon, the nominees have been released for the “Awful People’s Choice Awards,” and a new edition of This Week in Unnecessary Censorship.
Randy R could do a song parody: I’ve got Sens in low places. Yeah, they talk some smack and hate chases good sense away.
Alternately: Things that make you go ew!
(That’s why Randy gets paid to do that.)
Typically, when someone puts on a show like Tedious and Joshy did, it’s because they are trying to hide their own proclivities. Lindsey just seems like he’s going completely off his nut.
when judge jackson becomes justice and she recuses herself (as she stated under oath she would) from the harvard case, will the other harvard grads (roberts, hagan & gorsuch) do so too? what happens if the remaining 5 aren’t unanimous in their decision?
Patd, she said that’s her plan. She is not bound to do that since her term on the board ends soon. I am pretty sure she will, but in light of Thomas’ refusal to recuse himself from election litigation based on his obvious conflict from his wife’s activities to overturn it, she could easily hold that up as a bar so high that mere past membership on the Harvard Board doesn’t rise to a level requiring her recusal.
Here’s a link to the WaPo piece on Ginni Thomas’ texts with Mark Meadows. It’s too long and too frustrating to post parts of it here to try and provide any meaningful portions. It’s a revealing read.
pogo, but if (and that’s unlikely) all 4 harvard-connected justices recuse, the left over 5 would be the deciders. will it only take 3 of them to decide the case?
That is such a remote possibility it doesn’t bear 30 seconds of thought. Going to Harvard and serving on the Board of Harvard are two entirely different animals when it comes to conflicts of interest.
Ms Brown-Jackson is a beautiful figure of elegance and grace. I couldn’t watch the hearings… I no longer want to throw up a little bit in my mouth voluntarily. I only saw snippets here and there on MSNBC.
Saw Sen. Cory Booker’s praise of her…. now THAT was worth watching!
Ha- BBC reports Russian Federation officially adjusts its goal in Ukraine to security and control of the Donbas region, despite Putin reportedly telling Macron, 3 weeks, ago, that his goal was “all of Ukraine”.
A month in and Russians are already fragging their officers From BBC
Two more senior Russian commanders have been killed – one of them apparently died after being attacked by his own men, a Western official has said.
The commanding officer of the 37th Motor Rifle Brigade, a colonel, was deliberately run over by his own troops as a result of the scale of losses taken by his brigade, the official said.
“That just gives an insight into perhaps some of the morale challenges that Russian forces are having,” they added.
However other reports suggested the colonel – named as Yuri Medvedev – had suffered leg injuries and had been evacuated to Belarus.
A seventh general (commander of the 49th Combined Arms Army) was also killed. The Kremlin has not yet responded to the claims.
The BBC has not been able to confirm this independently.
Jack – my first thought too. Using a tank is obviously safer for the troops than tossing a grenade around.
One thought about the pull back by KGB agent Putin is he may have seen the clip of a tank driver surrendering, with his tank, to collect money and safety in Ukraine, and decided to put a few clicks between Ukraine forces and his no morale troops to cut down on defections.
Morale is also going down sherply in the Truckers Cornvoy. They done spent all they money and now they just wanna go home. Wahhhh
Thogguts and prairies, me boyos.
Five updates on Ukraine by WaPo.
1. Looks like Putin may have blinked.
2. Does there come a point at which we (with or without NATO) say, ENOUGH and step in militarily?
3. Why in the name of god don’t we find a way to help Poland get the Soviet era jets to Ukraine as Putin ups the number of sorties being flown?
I’ve heard “nukes” as the reason. Not sure I buy that as Putin’s end game if the West intervenes.
Pogo
From my pov, Poland wanted the US to be the one to give Ukraine the jets as a test to see just how much we were willing to go to defend not just Ukraine but Poland and the rest of Eastern Europe.
They wanted us to have serious skin in the game just as they do.
It was a test that we failed
Jack
The first way to get one’s rear end out of trouble is to declare victory and go home. So far KGB agent Puttie has not gone home, but is real close to declaring victory.
I have had a few people ask how things are going with the Russians. About like before the invasion. Nothing important probably because what is going on is not in my former field. Also, they are probably experiencing a clamp down on what they can do, much is happening to take their focus away.
Jack, from what I can glean US was all set to covertly send those jets but Poland went public and screwed the pooch. Nothing nefarious on Poland’s part, just amateur hour stuff
Jack, I view the jet situation with Poland differently. I see it as Poland, being border buddies with Russia and Ukraine, was afraid to antagonize Putin even with the backing of NATO – and I really do understand that reluctance. MoFo is nutz. However, having Soviet era jets replaced with F35s or even F-18s? Helluva better plane to have to defend one’s homeland on Russia’s western border – with a platform that’s more modern by a few decades – at least the 35 is. Trying to have us launder the MIGs for Poland through a US base and replace them with new jets as well leaves the US taking all the risk rather than spreading it in the eastern Euro theatre. I don’t blame Biden for declining, however, just as I understand Poland’s squeamishness, I would also have supported Biden taking that deal and seeing if Putin would try to engage us in response. The way things are going in Ukraine with what is reported to be 75% of Russia’s operational ground forces exposed there I’m betting he wouldn’t have taken that risk.
Biden and Zelenskyy are each responsible for the security of their own states, respectively, and both get an A+ from me in those respects, i’m not trying to get nuked👍🇺🇸🇺🇦

Patd, a 4-4 tie means the appeal fails. It takes a plurality for an appeal to succeed.
pogo, but if (and that’s unlikely) all 4 harvard-connected justices recuse, the left over 5 would be the deciders. will it only take 3 of them to decide the case?

So, does Jackson have the votes, or not?
Nice, Biden in Poland, let’s see Putin try to visit Canada!💪🇺🇸

Even without a Senate conviction, impeaching Thomas for failure to recuse in Trump cases would be fun.
Well, Manchin just said he’ll vote to confirm, this article says Sinema will, also, so there it is

Looks like Russian troops retreating from Kyiv. And US Intel says Russia “running low” on missiles for attacking cities
Thinking about President Biden jetting around Poland I can guess there are more than two escort fighters with him.
