So, are you telling me the engineers don't really believe in religion, but pretend to because it's measurably beneficial to do so?

I was surprised at the depth of the EIT.  Of course, none of the questions were PEng related so I was somewhat out of my depth. 99% pass rate is WOW.  We are not worthy!

I would have been the 1%. My last quarter in Chem Eng was taking 24 hours to get out and avoid summer school. Zero time to even think about EIT

But our history of Presidents is much more curious than most people realize.  But what I do know is that very, very soon...Donald Trump...the 45th President of the United States.  And perhaps the 47th (hopefully not, but history is a mad scientist).  He is going to die.  And for the first and only occurrence in every single lifetime of every poster on here...we will witness the celebration of a fallen President.  We all watched Presidents get voted out, impeached, even shot.  But we all rallied and wished them well because they were public servants, public leaders, public disciples.  But we get to watch Donald Trump die.  We get to celebrate it.  We get to watch the world embrace it.  We get to see his moronic followers weep over his casket in the Capitol while we wind them up to murder one another at the post-game tailgate. 

It'll be interesting to see if he will be allowed to lie in state.  I mean if he get convicted of the crimes of which he has been accused, do you let a traitor lie in state?

Maybe they'll just have him on display at MAL for the public to see, you know for a small fee of course.

Dunno where this should go, but this seems like the Trump thread now, so putting it here.

I was watching Drug Lords on Netflix about Pablo Escobar and I was struck by the parallels to Trump that I had not recognized before.  Like Trump is now, Escobar…

1. Was the head of a criminal empire

2. Was worshipped by the common man as a Robin Hood anti-hero

3.  Mixed crime and politics as a duly elected federal politician

4. Operated in plain sight

5. Avoided any real  consequences for his lawlessness for decades

6. Attacked and subverted the institutions set up to protect society from people like him

7. Waged a war against his nation’s federal government with a domestic terror campaign

8. Made it to where the Colombian government and he could not coexist; one of them was going to cease to be

Now Trump doesn’t have siccarrios on his payroll ready to go assassinate the attorney general at his direct order, but his followers are seemingly motivated to act in that capacity.  They are at the least conveying threats of murder to government officials targeting their crime lord in an attempt to get them to capitulate to Trump.

Here’s to the US proving to be as ready for its Trump test as Colombia ultimately proved to be for their Pablo Escobar test.

Just like his health care plan, it will be in a manila folder full of blank pages. Or a binder full of Ivanka’s nudes. 

If it was anything, he’d be taking it to a real court. Not the court of public opinion.

I’m in.  We are fond of animals in New Orleans, so instead of the Clydesdales, I recommend Marge and Ted and Josh pull him, who will be whipped through the streets by two Powerball raffle winners to ensure that the corpse is dragged quickly enough. For late night entertainment, those three will be put in a cage in Jackson Square  - and forced to fight over one well-done steak with catchup for their sustenance - and our amusement.

Oh no. If he has irrefutable proof of voter fraud that cost him the last election, he should definitely hold a press conference and show it to us. It would be irresponsible not to. I, for one, am really looking forward to it.

Don't make a shit what it was when he was sworn in.  When people VOTED for him, and he fucking WON, it was 34%.  Donald Trump has proven that he can win the White House with an approval rating of around 35%....which is exactly where it is now.

He was and remains an existential threat to the Republic.  Dismissing him as a loser who is no real threat is.....exactly what people did in 2016.  We shouldn't do that again.

got a link because I can't find anything that substantiates that.

edit - found a gallup poll with him at 36: https://news.gallup.com/poll/197231/trump-clinton-finish-historically-poor-images.aspx

that said, your fear mongering is getting old. Yes, he COULD win, but this isn't 2016.

In a macro sense, does it even matter that Trump will produce more evidence for the prosecution at his press conference?  As I see it Smith and Willis already have him dead to rights and he and the coup plotters are more focused on a post-conviction strategy that is based primarily on winning or a stollen election.  As well as a hail mary play to get some MAGAts on the juries somehow such that the actual lawyering and evidence don't matter.

In Trump's calculus, more media spotlight, lathering up the base electorally and insurrectionally, and assaulting confidence in our institutions is significantly more valuable than the downside of adding to Jack Smith's mountain of evidence.

His attorneys are just whining because it makes an already impossible job harder but they have no ability to change the course that has long been charted.  They are there just to bill and try not go to jail...and place their early bets to become the next Prigozhin in emperor Trump's America.

Exactly. Shrugging off his chances is precisely how we got where we are. He ought to be treated as the threat he is and destroyed. I strongly believe our Democracy cannot survive another Trump presidency. He has already shown how fragile it is with the shit he did get away with.

https://www.emptywheel.net/2023/08/17/as-xitters-lawyer-stalled-doj-elon-musk-met-with-jim-jordan-twice-and-kevin-mccarthy/

 

Quote

Elon Musk has been eerily quiet about being held in contempt by Beryl Howell since the DC Circuit opinion was first released on August 9.

It’s not like him to pass up the opportunity to make an obnoxious comment.

Which is why I’m interested in what Musk was doing during the period when Xitter’s counsel was stalling on the DOJ request — including a visit to Kevin McCarthy on January 26.

Beryl Howell approved the warrant on January 17. After several failed attempts, the government served it to the official portal on January 19. But then Xitter’s senior-most legal person stalled for 12 days, until she told DOJ that Xitter was going to make a First Amendment challenge so Trump could invoke executive privilege.

 

Quote

The government’s initial service attempts on Twitter filed twice, with the government’s receipt both times of an automated message indicating that Twitter’s “page [was] down.” Gov’t’s Mot. at 2 (alteration in original). On January 19, 2023, the government was finally able to serve Twitter through the company’s Legal Requests Submissions site. Id

Twitter, however, somehow did not know of the existence of the Warrant until January 25, 2023—two days before the Warrant returns were due. That day, the government contacted Twitter about the status of the company’s compliance with the Warrant, and Twitter’s Senior Director of Legal, JN [redacted], indicated she was not aware of the Warrant but would consider it a priority.” Id; see also Decl. of [redacted], Senior Director of Legal for Twitter (“[redacted] Decl”) 2 (SEALED), ECF No. 9-1. The government indicated that they were looking for an on time production in two days time” to which [J redacted] responded, “without knowing more or taking any position that would be a very tight turn around for us.” [Jl Decl. ¶ 2. The government sent the six pages of the Warrant and the NDO directly to [J redacted] later that evening Meanwhile, [J redacted] directed Twitter’s personnel to preserve data available in its production environment associated with the Target Account, and “have confirmed that the available data was preserved.” Id. ¶ 4.

Twitter notified the government in the evening of January 26, 2023, that the company “would not comply with the Warrant by the next day, “Id. 5, and responded to the government’s request for more specific compliance information, by indicating that “the company was prioritizing the matter and taking it very seriously” but that [redactedl had the Warrant and NDO only “for two days,” id. ¶ 8, even though the government had tried to submit the Warrant and NDO through Twitter’s Legal Requests Submissions site nine days earlier. The Warrants deadline for compliance makes no exception for the provider’s failure to have a fully operational and functioning system for the timely processing of court orders.

On January 31, 2023, Twitter indicated for the first time that the company would not comply with the Warrant without changes to the NDO, stressing as “essential to Twitter’ business model including [its] commitment to privacy, transparency, and neutrality) that [Twitter] communicate with users about law enforcement efforts to access their data.” 1d. 10.

 

Quote

The Legal Director’s declaration is more obnoxious than that. She made no mention of DOJ’s attempts to serve the warrant before she got involved and makes much of a claim that it took the AUSA two efforts to email a separate copy to her. Her assurances that everything was preserved — made as of January 25 — don’t rule out any deletions before that.

It wasn’t until February 1 that WilmerHale was officially involved.

And in the meantime, Elon Musk had made a widely covered trip to DC. He met with Jim Jordan on Thursday January 26, Kevin McCarthy that evening, and then Jordan (again) with James Comer the next day (Axios, NYT, CNN)

As of now, at least, Jordan and McCarthy are two of the just 51 people that Trump follows, who could have sent him DMs.

 

Spoiler

he next week, Comer formally announced his dick pics hearing, which (as Allison Gill observed yesterday) took place the day between two hearings on the warrant, as contempt fees started piling up. In that hearing, Republicans spun Musk’s willful violation of the consent decree against Xitter as an assault on the First Amendment.

As it was happening, Musk posted a tweet with nothing more but a period.

This was happening in the period when Xitter was doing more intensive searches to get — for example — the second preservation of Trump’s account from January 12, 2021 and all other accounts associated, via common device, cookie, or IP, with Trump’s own.

In the February 7 hearing, then-Chief Judge Beryl Howell questioned whether Xitter was stalling on this production because Musk “wants to cozy up with the former President, and that’s why you are here?”

But it may be more than that.

Musk is solidly part of the far right culture that might have been involved in any DM lists organizing the insurrection. One of the entire reasons he started considering buying Xitter is because of the efforts Xitter took in the aftermath to crack down on violence.

And in the lead-up to Musk’s purchase of Xitter, someone — there’s reason to believe it might be Stephen Miller, who had been interviewed by Jack Smith’s prosecutors in November, before he was interviewed in a privilege-waived interview in April — texted Musk personally to raise the sensitivities of restoring Trump to Xitter.

And one of Musk’s phone contacts appears to bring Trump up. However, unlike others in the filings, this individual’s information is redacted.

“It will be a delicate game of letting right wingers back on Twitter and how to navigate that (especially the boss himself, if you’re up for that),” the sender texted to Musk, referencing conservative personalities who have been banned for violating Twitter’s rules.

The anonymous texter then offers up a suggestion for “someone who has a savvy cultural/political view to be the VP of actual enforcement.” That suggestion: “A Blake Masters type.”

Any delays and obstruction may not just be an effort to protect Trump.

It could be Musk’s effort to protect his own network — and people in DC like Jim Jordan.

A huge part of the reason Trump won in 2016 is because a significant fraction of Clinton supporters didn't think there was any way he could win, and so they stayed home.  

Trump:  63.0M

Clinton:  65.8M

Other:  7.7M

Total:  136.5M

 

In 2020, those numbers were quite different, and there is no reason to believe the Democrats and independents are going to slide back into complacency about Trump's chances:

Trump:  74.2M

Biden:  81.3M

Other:  2.9M

Total:  158.4M

This.  You don't rest while the existential threat still breathes.

Here's what we did to the last even remotely "existential threat" we faced:

The threat isn't gone until the threat is completely and totally destroyed.  Until you have an unconditional surrender in Tokyo Bay, you fight, and crush, and burn.  And keep doing it.

Thing is, when you develop a very loud reputation of being “that guy” that stiffs his attorneys and asks them to do unethical shit to the point where it leads to their own disbarment, “interviewing attorneys” becomes Exhibit A of beggars being choosers.
