What was happening in April that Trump was trying to distract from by locking her up, I wonder? Or do you think every so often he just remembers she exists and throws a tantrum?

no, it's far more likely to be linked to an animal fecal source than human. "workers forced to poo poo in the fields" is just the less racist version of "pedro don't wash his hands" when there's a far greater volume of uncontrolled cattle excrement in ag areas than human excrement


REminder that during this years hurricane season giant reservoirs of pig poo poo were a problem.

Maybe in addition to the carbon cost of raising livestock for meat maybe people should also reduce meat consumption so massive pools of animal poo poo isnt a thing?

Yeah, I don't think it's necessarily deliberate, it's just whenever his polls are (further) down or there's something especially unflattering about him in the news he tends to pull a NO U :mad:

So I used to work at a major food safety testing laboratory specializing in IDing e coli, listeria, campylobacter, salmonella and others in leafy greens, ground beef, nuts and other foods. It's been several years, but I did work through several of these sorts of outbreaks, including pistachios, peanut butter and a few others. Most of the day to day work was in early detection (satellite labs in food processing centers), reconfirmation of positive results, genetic tracing of outbreaks and consulting work to prevent further outbreaks.

It's amazing how stupid these issues sometimes are. Back when all the pistachios were taken off the shelves in the USA several years back, the outbreak was due to the fact that the main processing plant in Salinas have two buildings and an open air conveyor belt carrying the nuts from one side to the other. They didn't realize the birds were eating the nuts and making GBS threads all over the place.

Trump has submitted his answers to Mueller's questions.

How likely is it he perjured even with Whitiker trying to tip him off and having to write out his responses instead of an in-person interview?

I wouldn't bet against it at least. He apparently has a habit of lying (either directly or by omission) to his attorneys which means thy might not have been able to properly fact check his responses.

Deprogramming conservatives would be a good idea, it's just not what he's doing. What Blair is doing is more like maintaining a safari where he and his buddies can hurl personal abuse at easy targets. Fun for them I guess, but at the cost of spewing yet more mind poison out into the world.

Deprogramming conservatives requires a media fast to keep them from cult materials for for a period of at least half a year, and as such it's not worth the risk. While everyone can in fact be redeemed and won over, sometimes it's not worth the time.

"In its application to the IRS for status as a tax-exempt organization, the organizers reported that the group would study the impact of environmental regulations on businesses, records show. In that incarnation, the group took no action and “only existed on paper,” one man named in IRS filings as a board member told The Washington Post. Another named in a state filing as a board member said he never agreed to be on the board."

Just reading this now, but truly the most shocking accusation of the article:

quote:

Ms. Pirro told Mr. Trump in the Oval Office last November that the Justice Department should appoint a special counsel to investigate the Uranium One deal, two people briefed on the discussion have said. During that meeting, the White House chief of staff, John F. Kelly, told Ms. Pirro she was inflaming an already vexed president, the people said.

Shortly after, Mr. Sessions wrote to lawmakers, partly at the urging of the president’s allies in the House, to inform them that federal prosecutors in Utah were examining whether to appoint a special counsel to investigate Mrs. Clinton. A spokeswoman for the United States attorney for Utah declined to comment on Tuesday on the status of the investigation.

Motherfucking Jeanine Pirro is setting the agenda at the Justice Department.

IMDb says she's been appearing in movies since 2016 and had an uncredited role in Ocean's Eight. Considering that Jacob Wohl can barely fasten the velcro on his shoes, I think this one's probably genuine and Avenatti is a shitbag.

Youre right -- it was at best poorly-stated, and didn't add to the conversation meaningfully. Avenatti is savvy and slimy and probably is using the prior attempt to smear Mueller to cover his own abusive rear end. I had a post written up to clarify the difference between me hoping something and believing something, but ultimately you're right: it was a poo poo thing for me to say and I was wrong.
