AOC -- fake charity.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/par...2nFN_j_PIvh6mI Participants in AOC's 'fun run' didn’t know they were donating to her campaignRep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez held a 5k in Queens Saturday that she billed as “a Family Fun Run supporting U.S. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal on the Saturday following Earth Day.”
But many of the 400 runners didn’t realize their $30 registration fees were going directly into the lawmaker’s campaign coffers. “We’re getting together for our own health, for our planet’s health … and to fight for the Green New Deal together,” the freshman Democrat told the participants before they set off.... |
That's actually kind of the opposite of satisfying. |

Seems about the same. Maybe a tad offensive to residents of the village of Cheddar, in Somerset, England. Also Florida, but then Florida kind of deserves it... |

https://www.stereogum.com/2041605/mo...VJUVMlcyrwcZ1E Moby Says He Once Rubbed His Dick On Donald Trump Moby and Donald Trump have quite a history together. Moby has claimed that he turned down an offer to play one of Trump’s inaugural balls. He also once said that he had knowledge of a secret Republican plan to remove Trump from office. In 2017, he tweeted that Trump should “just resign, OK?” rather than be impeached, adding that Trump had committed “TREASON.” And now Moby is also saying that he once rubbed his dick on Trump at a New York party. Moby is about to follow his 2016 memoir Porcelain with a new one called Then It Fell Apart. The UK newspaper The Times published an excerpt yesterday. The bit in the book is mostly about how Moby spent the post-9/11 days drunk and high, and as the Daily Beast points out, it includes this a bit about an escapade that took place at “a generic product launch party”: I was dared to brush my drunken, flaccid penis up against Donald Trump’s suit jacket. Although, in the spirit of alcoholic disclosure, my caveat is this: as I was very drunk and high at the time I’m still not 100% sure it actually happened. But even though this happened almost 20 years ago, I’m still perpetually stunned by the fact that Americans elected as president a dimwitted con man whose only claim to fame is that he once hosted a mediocre reality-TV show. |

I can't say that I learned anything startling or new. The content seemed mostly to consist of: • Mandatory minimum sentences are a tool which aid prosecutors in moving criminals efficiently through the court system, by allowing them to offer pleas to lesser charges, thus avoiding the cost of a jury trial. • The likelihood of being caught is of greater significance than the severity of the resulting punishment in the "shall I commit this crime?" decision-making process. • Police officers are incentivized to make arrests and testify in court. • Jail sucks. I didn't hear anything at all about charges or evidence being fabricated to implicate innocent people. And while I acknowledge that this does happen, I maintain that it is exceedingly rare in practice. And such cases typically do go to trial, and thus gain public attention, which differentiates them from the vast majority of cases in which the defendant is in fact guilty of the charge (or something very much like it.) Ditto the frequency with which people who are truly innocent are arrested and subjected to pre-trial detention but then later released without charge. Again, exceedingly rare. Again, I'll fully agree that many people are incarcerated for things which ought not to be crimes, or at least felonies punishable by imprisonment. The old "No victim? No crime." school of thought. But that's a legislative problem, not one for the police or the courts*. Things get labeled as crimes when elected officials in the relevant cabinet pass bills saying that they are. * = Not one for trial courts. This podcast did not really delve into the appellate courts, which is where unjust laws get nullified. My point is this: The conversation we were having was about the conduct of prosecutors in court, and I didn't hear anything which addressed that. The whole podcast was about issues in the lawmaking process, which is well upstream of the courts. I've listened to many podcasts lately on the subject of our justice system and how it has changed since inception. Perhaps my thoughts on that podcast were more cumulative of the total volume of work I had been exposed to over the last months. The idea of coercive plea bargaining making up 95% of convictions in our country and plea bargaining never being envisioned as part of our system is somewhat disturbing. Here is a good panel discussion. https://www.cato.org/multimedia/even...lea-bargaining |

Massachusetts judge CRIES as she leaves court after being charged with helping an undocumented immigrant evade ICE as supporters blast her prosecution for being part of Trump's 'anti-immigrant agenda'A Massachusetts judge has left court in tears after being indicted on obstruction of justice charges for allegedly helping an illegal immigrant evade immigration officials. Judge Shelley M Richmond Joseph and trial court officer Wesley MacGregor are accused of conspiring to prevent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from taking an undocumented immigrant into custody at Newton District Court on April 2, 2018. Joseph had allegedly ordered the courtroom recording device to be turned off for 52 seconds while she and the defendant Jose Medina-Perez's lawyer had a conversation about getting him out of the courthouse instead of handing him over to an ICE officer, according to the indictment. MacGregor allegedly used his access badge to release Medina-Perez through a rear door. Joseph was seen crying when she left federal court in Boston Thursday. ... |
