Mr. Nice! posted:the 11th circuit is likewise stacked with chudges. Yeah, this is why I tie myself into mental knots having to deal with this poo poo, because all of the below are true: - there is zero caselaw in favor of an executive privilege review and everything against it - the judge could just be spewing verbal diarrhea as they like to do, then rule for the government - the judge could just be spewing verbal diarrhea as they like to do, then back it up with that action - judges use motivated reasoning as much as political hacks, because they are political hacks in many cases - this really is a pretty novel case because no other president has been dumb enough to keep classified poo poo - law is fake when trump judges declare it so and there's no logic to it

ZombieApostate posted:Is there any legal argument to be made that a judge appointed by a defendant must recuse themselves from the trial? I'm guessing no, because that would actually require forethought, but I don't actually know anything. Probably not. Judges that are appointed by the POTUS are constantly ruling on motions on lawsuits against the POTUS's government, especially in the DC Circuit. The general idea is that a justice should recuse themselves if they feel conflicted about it, which is semi-common in Supreme Court cases. That's especially the case where the recusing justice was a previous arguing party. And an appointment to even the lowest district court is lifetime, so there's nothing an angry POTUS could do as punishment, short of not promoting them to the circuit/supreme court. Also, most of the time the criminal trial judge is chosen at random from all the district court judges, so there's very little judge-shopping, unlike civil actions. It's all bullshit, but that's the idea anyways. Egregious poo poo could always be appealed to the higher court on an emergency motion.

 OMICRON BOOSTERS ARE NOW APPROVED quote:Doses began shipping Wednesday to pharmacies, clinics and doctor’s offices after the FDA authorized the updated shots from Moderna and from Pfizer and its German partner, BioNTech. Like earlier coronavirus vaccines, the updated boosters will be free. Availability is pretty poo poo right now, but is ramping up: quote:CDC said doses should be available within the next few days. Pfizer has already shipped more than 100,000 doses to 62 locations across the United States and expects to have 3 million doses available at more than 3,300 sites by Tuesday, the end of the Labor Day holiday weekend.

That Works posted:It's a small thing but given that the imagery is already being latched onto heavily by the detractors I can't help but wonder what the imagery added to the speech in any positive way. https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1565524388384055296?t=sSvQM18gn1N7YqY5eJ46Gg&s=19 Democrats historically have a midterm turnout problem which was bucked back in 2018. Biden's trying to turn them out again because the threat never left (though he was dumb to say it would have earlier). The imagery works to say "hey, poo poo's not all roses Jack!" So he's tying all of the unpopular Republican positions (abortion, privacy, healthcare) to everyone running, then throwing a MAGA cherry right on top. Right now, a lot of the Republican primary winners are rapidly trying to moderate and scrub their sites of Trump endorsements and forced birth positions. And so the defensive reactions are exactly what he's going for - the "moderate" Republicans are getting mad, yelling, and defending their MAGAs, while the true MAGAs are putting Hitler mustaches on Terminal Centrist Joe Biden. And news commentators are going HOW DARE HE POLITICIZE THOSE MARINES and getting immediate snapbacks of gassed protestors and the 36372 times Donnie politicized the military to remind everyone about that too!

Giving pure positive Americana imagery for a speech like that in a country where only 30% think we're on the wrong track isn't going to work and Republicans will still accuse Biden of calling them Nazis.

Yeah my feed is more or less saying that it's all bullshit motivated reasoning the whole way through, and giving Donnie the benefit of half a world's worth of doubt, but ultimately doesn't matter and is just a shortish delay that the DOJ can appeal to the trumpy 11th circuit if they want to. https://twitter.com/renato_mariotti/status/1566822416088719360?t=mOV7GpHIQcYX4E4ZaevD_w&s=19 Popehat: quote:I don’t think the absolute freakout over this is warranted.

Looks like the pharmacy appointments for the bivalent COVID boosters are now online for both Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna. Check your pharmacy though, around here CVS is a bit weird in that it states it's just "offering" Moderna with lots of references to scheduling bivalent boosters now but nothing explicit. Walgreens is much clearer and specifically states that the appointment is for the updated booster. Get your 6G reception y'all! Edit: and vaccines.gov seems to be really poo poo at finding the proper locations, as there's no bivalent-only option that I'm seeing. So check through your local pharmacies. facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Sep 5, 2022 |

She called it “this horrible green statement.” I've been through three of these and it always takes half a day or so for a tech person with access to the mass email address to actually lock down the permissions.

DOJ's officially appealing the chudge's ruling on the Special Master: - Executive Privilege review is bullshit (the appeal) - Can't sever the National Security Risk Assessment like the chudge wants because the FBI is tied with DOJ's counterintel division and here's an FBI affidavit about it (requested stay on the 100 classified documents) - Need to know what was in those empty folders so FBI needs to investigate (stay request) - Go ahead and Special Master the unclassified poo poo, we really don't care https://twitter.com/charlie_savage/status/1567965654090760201 Makes a lot of sense, so they'll probably lose

LtCol J. Krusinski posted:I don’t have any idea where my vac records are, but it was 3 pages last time I looked at it circa 2014. Not sure your location, but around here, the county health department keeps the records. Mine were actually just recently digitized so I can log in through the county website and call it up, but they give me a record whenever I go to the county health department for a vaccine. Might be worth going there for your yearly flu shot to have them check your records. Most people apparently got their polio vaccines before they were 6 years old, so it's likely you've got them. But I'm sure the county/local place will gladly pull yours up and recommend whatever - like how I'm due for TDAP by the end of the year. They also noted that I never got a varicella (chicken pox) vaccine and had me order up a blood test to confirm that I had it as a kid (yep, victim of a chicken pox party).
