OK, one last tune this evening, and then I'll go away quietly.... :)

@#28 ... I'm seeing neither election interference nor bending rules. I'm seeing a trial court doing what the boss said consistent with typical criminal due process principles ...

Yeah.

What you said.

Somewhat similar to my non-legal-educated opine of #6.

:)

@#3

Wow.

Nothing but [crickets]?

So, I presume everyone here agrees with the #3 comment?

@#3 ... Dr. Dinger... Dr. Dinger... defection required stat! ...

Sometimes I think the concept of time zones, and that some folk may be located a few hours west of me is A Good Thing.

I do especially like Bloomberg TV's following the stock markets around the world as they open and start trading. Evenings here I learn a lot about Asia news because of that.

But I digress. :)

@#7 ... but 2028 will likely be an open primary, so anything is possible. ...

2024 was an open GOP primary also.

Look what happened.

@#7 ... I don't understand why thinking individual would have confidence in these numbers. ...

Is that, grammatically flawed comment, indicative of a problem with the numbers or your current alias' apparent inability to understand the numbers?

@#1 ... "Anything the MAGA Republicans don't like, they call fake, anything," Biden said from behind the podium. ...

While I have no disagreement with that comment (based upon what I see posted here on this most august site), I have to say...

Wow.

It is amazing to hear POTUS state that.

More from the article...

... The big picture: The president's surprise appearance came after Axios reported earlier Friday that he's been increasingly less visible in public since suspending his bid for re-election.

- - - The president hasn't scheduled public events in 43 of the 75 days since he dropped his bid in July, Axios' Alex Thompson and Neal Rothschild found.

What he's saying: Biden applauded the strong jobs report out earlier on Friday, saying: "The past two days, we've gotten some very good news about the American economy."

- - - He also criticized Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fl.) for writing on X today that the jobs report is "fake."

- - - "Anything the MAGA Republicans don't like, they call fake, anything," Biden said from behind the podium. "The job numbers are what the job numbers are. They're real. They're sincere." ...

@#6 ... Happiness ...

OK, let's go with that for a couple three tunes ...

@#2

...and, fwiw, I saw Aztec Camera perform at Toads Place back in the day ....

... The justices denied emergency requests by the states, as well as power and mining, oil and gas companies, to halt the Environmental Protection Agency rules while litigation continues in lower courts.

The regulations, issued under the landmark Clean Air Act anti-pollution law, aim to cut mercury and other metals from coal-fired power plants emissions, as well methane and other gases known as volatile organic compounds from oil and gas production.

The mercury rule tightened limits on emissions of toxic metals for all coal plants by 67% and tightened limits on mercury emissions from lignite coal plants by 70%.

The methane rule restricted flaring -- the burning of excess methane during oil and gas production -- and required oil companies to monitor for leaks from well sites and compressor stations. It also created a new program for detecting and reporting large methane releases from so-called "super emitters." ...

@#6 ... If so, they'll soon learn that Trump is not morally capable of upholding the high standards we expect of a president. ...

As a person exposed to the NYC news media for decades, I knew that back in 2016.

And I gave a warning back then on this most august site.

What else can I say?

You get what you ask for.

@#4 ... as someone with an daughter its nice to know, keep track of my girl. ...

Does your current alias also track her online activity with a similar vengeance?

That aside...

Just came up on a playlist here...

@#2 ... Trump also said that while mail-in ballots contributed to the election being stolen from him in 2020, ...

Did he proffer any evidence of that assertion?

Or was it just his usual addled babbling?

And, if the latter, why is anyone taking him seriously?

@#67 ... Democrats appear to want to create radical partisan government where everything from disaster help to healthcare is based on politics. ...

Got evidence for that assertion?

OK, you went there.

Imagine an Elvis impersonator singing Led Zep tunes to a reggae theme ...

@#2 ... This is News because?? ...

Yeah, I wondered the same thing.

Oh, not good.

... The report recommended "appropriate action, up to and including dismissal."

The Council of the Inspectors General On Integrity and Efficiency, known as the Integrity Committee, wrote the report

A redacted version was released by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee.

The report stated, "After thoroughly reviewing the evidence and carefully considering the subject responses, the IC finds by a preponderance of the evidence that IG Cuffari engaged in conduct undermining the independence or integrity reasonably expected of his position."

The IC report alleges that Cuffari abused his authority and "engaged in substantial misconduct in the form of a gross waste of funds" when he spent $$1.393 million of taxpayer funds to hire a private law firm to investigate three former senior members of his staff.

The IC found that was most likely done for his "personal" interest and to retaliate against them. One of the staffers got a $1.17 million settlement paid with additional taxpayer funds, according to the IC report.

The IC alleges that Cuffari provided inaccurate and misleading answers to questions regarding possible misconduct in his federal employment history as a sworn law enforcement officer, and as an IG, misrepresented his reasons for hiring a private law firm to investigate three former DHS OIG senior executives and his influence over that investigation.

In a partially redacted paragraph, the IC report said Cuffari personally attempted to influence that independent investigation. ...

@#21 ... I've said Trump is not my choice for Republican candidate but I have no choice since he is the nominee. ...

Fmr Pres Trump is not the only nominee.

So, why do you think you have no choice?
