Wilder was a very underrated leader in the Civil War. He saw very early the importance of repeating rifles. He didn't get much support from his superiors so he scrapped to raise the funds to buy his mounted infantry the repeating rifles. He even used his own savings and took out a loan to buy the repeaters but I think he was eventually reimbursed by the US Govt.
The repeating rifles immediately flipped the previous Confederate calvary superiority. He led the way on the Tullahoma campaign to kick the Confeds out of Western Tennessee and pretty much saved the Army's Northern flank before the battle of Chickamauga. At least that moron brought a little attention to a deserving leader even if it was for the wrong reason. |

I'm in Vegas for a couple days and man, the political ads in Nevada are something else. "My opponent advocated hanging another political opponent, said we should shoot certain people like rabid dogs, and ... [Ends with an anti-abortion position, which is certainly anticlimactic compared to the rest of the list]."

"Always" defend history. Japanese internment? Treatment of the mentally ill? Syphilis studies? Smallpox blankets? Slavery? (I mean, sort of implied above.)

The outcry and oversight on this went away much too quickly. I mean, I could understand it if it was too conspiracy theory but NPR was reporting on it - not somebody's Facebook page or tabloid. This is the type of thing the both-sides crowd seems to (often willfully) miss. There were no Democrats using an alphabet soup of willing agencies as a private police force in unmarked vans to whisk people off the street, ostensibly to "protect monuments". Or tear gas protesters to hold a Bible upside down. Or pushing a fake theory to the Supreme Court to allow for rigged elections because it's the only way they can win a popular national election - well, that and try to pull a bunch of legit voter registrations, break down any voter protection laws, and voter intimidation. But, again, tell me how this is a policy discussion like, say, how best to spend our tax money and not walking us down the road to brutal apartheid fascism? SI

Should I know who that is? I'm assuming a Newsmax host, which means she was too crappy even for Fox.

She's nuts, but I have a hard time going after her after she was raped. That really seems to have disconnected her from reality.

True (though some people look to have chimed in to the effect of "lots of us have been raped but we haven't all gone batshit insane.").

I seem to remember at the end of the Good Samaritan, when asked "who is my neighbor", Jesus said "Only people with the long form birth certificate from their country of origin. Everyone else can get fucked."

Bannon gets 4 months, which I'm sure he will appeal so he won't go to jail right away, but at least for now no Trump to pardon him.
I'm not sure I've seen a better example of contempt of congress than Bannon. He should be the poster boy for it. I really wish the minimum sentence was a year, a larger fine, not being able to vote in a federal election, fund raise for anyone there, or hold any position at the federal level anymore.

What exactly could a GOP house do to get Bannon out of jail at this point?

Trump officially subpaened by the Jan 6 committee and ordered to appear on my birthday Nov 14. Also Washington Post reports that Trump had classified documents on China and Iran at Mar-a-Lago

He has years of appeals ahead of him. Even after exhausting all those (and assuming he doesn't find a friendly Trump judge to overturn), he might have a Republican President ready to pardon. Or he'll claim some medical reason why he can't serve it (like Rick Gates). He'll never spend a day in prison. People like that have a different justice system from the rest of us. |

It is Bannon, so he might get to defer his reporting to BOP until after his appeal. But for most federal defendants--even those on pre-trial release--the strong expectation is that you start serving your sentence while your appeal is pending. And if your conviction gets overturned on appeal, do you get any credit for the time you wrongfully served. Ha Ha. LOL. No. |

In Arizona you also have armed people in tactical gear sitting just past 75 feet from drop boxes (75 feet is what the law requires) through the day and night. Then others are recording, following, and harassing people trying to drop ballots off at boxes. |

I saw Trump refused to provide DNA in the E Jean Carroll case, because you know, he is totally innocent, so Mary Trump gave hers instead.

And it begins: GA election officials investigating after suspected fake ballot discovered at early voting location – WSB-TV Channel 2 - Atlanta
Just as reference, Spalding is about an hour out of Atlanta and is a very Red county with a decent size black population in the county seat. My guess would be it was someone working the polls that slipped that in. There is at least one person (if not more) that watched over the machine as voters scan their ballots in, and someone scanning in two would stand out. I expect we will see more of this, probably in areas were the Q-people are able to get in to work the polls and try throw fake ballots everywhere they can to make the appearance of a compromised election. |

AG Garland and other DOJ bigwigs having a press conference at 1:30 today to discuss a "significant national security measure". I don't know if this is going to be about people stalking/observing ballot boxes in Arizona and elsewhere or something more. For a change, so far the media doesn't know either.

Clarence Thomas, acting alone, ordered that Lindsey Graham doesn't have to testify in GA. This court is so corrupt.

From my understanding, this does not freeze/end the case-it's a temporary stay so he can introduce it to the whole Court. Nevermind that he should have recused himself given his previous Jan 6 ruling and the activities of his wife before and after the 6th, which I'm sure he knew absoueletly nothing about...

This Twitter account, Palmer Report, says its a fake story and to ignore the headlines from the media and concentrate on the midterms so the likes of Graham don't get to be Chairman/woman of any committee that will wipe out any Jan 6 investigation.

It does look like a temporary stay while the Court determines whether to grant a stay pending appeal/cert.
Sort of a give us 5 minutes to decide whether you get 5 months. |

It's really fascinating how phrases and reasoning patterns that were once used to demonize leftist ideologies or Democratic causes have been grafted onto false-equivalents on the right. It's amazing to see how the both-sidesism is weaponized. Using one rhetorical claim and some simple false logic, it elevates some false claims on the right while making concerns on the left seem trivial. Having an efficient media apparatus is crazily effective.
