I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

So I haven't seen it discussed here, but the UK had a large leak of diplomatic cables from our Ambassador to the US - cables which provided confidential assessments of the current administration, which I am sure you can guess weren't too positive.

Despite this being the job of every ambassador everywhere (no doubt the US Ambassador is sending back assessments of the ongoing brexit shitshow) because Donnie has paper thin skin he has thrown a bitch fit on Twitter and claimed "we will no longer deal with him"

There is literally a possibility you are going to declare our diplomat persona non grata because he said some mean things privately while doing his loving job. Jesus Christ :smugdon:

You can get 6$ pizzas at the Fresh Market (across from Market Basket) on Thursday. Sausage and/or Cheese.

There's a Subway at 4th floor, corridor C. It's faster by a country mile compared to the one on the main food court.

edit: lmao hosed up my directions. Go to Apex 3-4, 4th floor, and look down corridor 4. You can't miss it.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/07/08/twins-ivf-birth-lawsuit/

A couple in New York is suing a fertility clinic over the results of their in vitro fertilization.

The clinic reported to the couple that they'd successfully implanted one male and one female embryo. Yay!

A subsequent ultrasound revealed that the wife was carrying two boys. Well, maybe the ultrasound was wrong. It happens sometimes.

After delivery the Asian couple found themselves holding two non-Asian boys.

A DNA test revealed that the boys are not related to either parent.

The DNA test also revealed that the boys are not related to each other.

The couple had to relinquish custody of the boys.

I wish this couple all the best as they become the new owners of a fertility clinic.

A scene from the Epstein arraignment.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/jeffrey-epstein-case-billionaire-pleads-not-guilty-to-sex-trafficking-charges?ref=home

quote:

Defense lawyer Reid Weingarten argued the flight risk was exaggerated and noted that the feds had previously investigated Epstein—a 2005 probe that ended in a sweetheart plea on state prostitution charges.

“There was no violence, no coercion, no intimidation, no deception,” Weingarten said, prompting the judge to ask if the girls were under 18, wouldn’t the sexual contact constitute rape.

Weingarten said that would make it “statutory rape”—then backtracked, said he was having a “senior moment,” and declared that it would not constitute rape at all because the charges don’t include penetration.

Even supposing Palestinians are just Arabs, then they've still been in Israel for 1,300 years. And it's a little late to demand they leave just because your dumb fairy tale says so.

Quick Census update/primer.

https://twitter.com/marty_lederman/status/1148358851378524160

AG Barr has been bullshitting that they found a "legal" path for the citizenship question. The problem is that it likely involves an executive order with a bullshit legal theory, or some type of claim that there's more time. The problem is that the *current* team of DOJ employees basically said that there was no time and the Voting Rights Act was the main justification for it.

So the current team got hosed by Donnie's stunt. Essentially, they lied to the court (due to the upcoming new legal justification) to get the case to the Supreme Court faster. That team can't continue to argue the case without getting sanctioned to gently caress for lying to the court. So, AG Barr put together a bunch of rando political DOJ people and rando trial lawyers to continue this thing. AG Barr literally had to ask for volunteers.

Meanwhile, the plaintiffs (good guys) are not only proceeding on their Equal Protection claim, but they want the judge to *deny* the DOJ's request to change the legal team. They also filed a motion for estoppel, a HEY, YOU DON'T GET TO CHANGE ARGUMENTS, YOU FUCKS motion. I bet that whatever Executive Order they cook up gets pretty rapidly halted for violating Congress's Article I power to mandate the Census.

Should be more legal fun!

On this one, you can't listen to twitter. The administration isn't in violation of any court order and still wouldn't be. The Roberts ruling was basically a "hey, your justification was complete bullshit and against the Administrative Procedures Act and you basically lied, *but if you had a good reason, we could potentially revisit it.*"

The likely game plan is a Trump direction/executive order, then immediately the administration pings the Supreme Court for its legality. The Supreme Court gave them like 25 days to allow for a re-hearing of the issue if the administration could get its act together.

The problem for the administration is that this has been a complete clownshow and they don't give a poo poo about the law. The Roberts Court is partisan as all gently caress, but Roberts is one of those ~~decorum~~ assholes who likely won't just go along with Trump's very-clear nonsense on this one. Not to mention that Trump even said out loud I'M DOING THIS FOR HOUSE REDISTRICTING, which is the administration's 4th/5th/6th/Nth new justification.

Now if they get shot down *again*, that's when the Contempt of Court starts and administrative-level peons start getting locked up. Think they're willing to go to jail for Trump?

Prediction: Trump does the dumb thing, it gets immediately halted, administration petitions Roberts, Roberts says "lol no fast track, start in the lower courts" and it all dies a slow death.

And Dems are back up to 20 candidates

quote:

Tom Steyer, the billionaire investor and activist, said Tuesday he's joining the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, reversing course after deciding earlier this year that he would forgo a run.

Steyer, 62, is one of the most visible and deep-pocketed liberals advocating for President Donald Trump's impeachment. He surprised many Democrats in January when he traveled to Iowa, home to the nation's first presidential caucus, to declare that he would focus entirely on the impeachment effort instead of seeking the White House.

Since then, Steyer, of California, has said he's grown frustrated at the pace at which the Democratic-controlled House is approaching Trump. Roughly half of the Democratic presidential contenders, seeking to appeal to the party's progressive base, have called on House Democrats to start an impeachment inquiry. But Speaker Nancy Pelosi has resisted, warning that Democrats need to collect the facts and that a rush to impeachment could ultimately help Trump politically.
