Apparently part of the witness tampering/intimidation charges are because he's been sending credible death threats. To add to that, Stone was almost always surrounded by various right wing militia/proud boy types for private security. There was a non-zero chance that Stone would have armed guards in his house at the time of the raid. Further, Stone was at extreme risk of destroying evidence, ala Michael Cohen, if he had been given notice and allowed to turn himself in.

Every bit of that adds up to the raid happening the way it did.

2019: Kavanaugh is who we thought he was and Roberts is suddenly not completely awful (sometimes) (only because he's going along with a past supreme court decision).

https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/status/1093699912204722179

Kavanaugh did a dissent with some bullshit about "providers should wait 45 days to get the privileges, then reapply for a stay" and none of the three conservatives even joined the dissent.

poo poo's weird now.

He said that the law won't go into effect until 45 days have passed, so instead of putting a stay on the law, the law should go in effect while the doctors have 45 days to get admitting privileges. If they can't in those 45 days, the clinics will shut down, and then they can sue because the state concedes that at that point the law would be unconstitutional.

His issue is they're seeking remedy before the harm the law will cause has had a chance to actually happen.

Yeah, for a period of time people are going to retain technology, but much is going to be lost and will continue to degrade over the next millennia. Without worldwide trade and our modern infrastructure to support it, things are going to collapse hard.

Trump is ordering the military to take over full jurisdiction at the southern border. He's authorizing IRR recalls to do so.

Section 1. The Secretary of Defense, or the Secretary of each relevant military department, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, shall order as many units or members of the Ready Reserve to active duty as the Secretary concerned, in the Secretary's discretion, determines to be appropriate to assist and support the activities of the Secretary of Homeland Security at the southern border.

Sec. 2. The Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and, subject to the discretion of the Secretary of Defense, the Secretaries of the military departments, shall take all appropriate actions, consistent with applicable law, to use or support the use of the authorities herein invoked, including, if necessary, the transfer and acceptance of jurisdiction over border lands.

Sec. 3. This proclamation is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

Also, if you haven't looked at the declaration of emergency proclamation - https://publicpool.kinja.com/subject-presidential-proclamation-on-declaring-a-natio-1832656353

There's a less than zero chance that the entire declaration is faulty on it's face, but it's basically given the military full authority to secure the border including taking jurisdiction over land. Hope you're not still in the IRR because you're going to get recalled to go man the sand tower in the big bend section of the wall.

Prosecutors listed Roger Stone's case as a related case to the one against the 11 russian hackers that broke into the DNC, Podesta's emails, and the Clinton server. Stone's attorneys filed a motion stating the cases were unrelated and he should be assigned a different judge.

The special counsel's office and prosecutors in a short 6 page filing allege that they found direct communication between the hackers, wikileaks, and Roger Stone. In fact, the investigation into the hacks is what led them to Stone in the first place.

Sounding rods. It's a take on an old nautical term. Maffew buildings used to initiate people into his gang of cool people by showing them a sounding video. I ate a probation for making a joke about the old "kids in the sandbox" sounding video a while back. If you weren't on the internet 15-20 years ago, kids in the sandbox is a clip from a porno where a chick sticks a 4-5" vibrator down the urethra of an erect penis. The man had a meatatomy (I think that's the name of the procedure where they increase your dickhole opening by snipping it down the frenulum) to allow for it.

Such are the wages of the party culling anyone left of center for two generations - when the voters move left, they don't have much to hold on to. No one with Bernie's views could have survived the party.

Blarg.

A lot, and I mean a lot, of gen-x and baby boomer democrats were republicans prior to George W. Bush. A good number of them voted for Clinton and began to migrate over, but the democratic party of the 00s through present is chock full of people who were republicans prior. The PPACA is almost a lift of Bob Dole's 1996 healthcare plan and was almost identical to Romney's healthcare plan as governor.

Generally speaking, the Democratic Party is not liberal when compared to the rest of the world. It's been good to finally drag it to the left, but they've been "republican-lite" for most of my adult life.


e: I grew up in rural rear end west texas and believed a lot of republican talking points (because it's the only ones I heard) up until I actually got to grow up and experience the world.
