My understanding is Gavin McInnes has an alter ego that he uses to generate content where he basically goes and makes fun of liberals/progressives/whatever, like the Good Liars basically, except in the other direction politically. He's not there in solidarity.

Guest on C-SPAN just mentioned something I totally forgot, which is that Jack Smith asked the court to take this up way earlier.

I used to love all of those bands too and now I don't listen to a ton of it but I think Bon Jovi (from that time period) is legit good. Livin on a Prayer is a top 5 tune for me. I love it. Runaway is aweome too. And I can't believe someone has never leveraged the typo I just made, bong jovi

I agree it's amazing how you can't see the other eagle the AI removed from his shoulder

Some observations: 1) Apparently Trump is going to argue that "ensuring election integrity" was part of his official presidential duties, and he shouldn't be prosecuted for carrying out his official presidential duties. Problem is, ensuring election integrity is a STATE matter, STATES administer elections, not the Federal Government and certainly not the President. 2) The SCOTFS and SCOTUS historically have been aggressive in seizing power in relation to the other branches of government, main example being when the court granted itself powers not in the constitution to strike down laws passed by legislatures. Would the SCOTFS *really* give the President the authority to flout the SCOTFS if they so desired?

Today the Supreme Court of the Federalist Society will hear arguments and then disregard them, and then decide 250 years of people reading the text of the constitution just didn't see that president's are immune because reasons Audio will be live on CSpan. If she is arguing today, Solicitor General Prelogar is very impressive.

The eagle really ties it together

I don't recall Alan Alda but Toby wouldn't surprise me. I know I rocked Auntie Nancy for a Lil while after Obamacare passed

yeah that's the blog that dude w/ the mini cannon used to write for.

Meadows, Giuliani and other Trump allies charged in Arizona 2020 election probe https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/04/24/arizona-2020-election-charges-meadows-giuliani-ellis/

I think so. I remember he'd fight like a logic professor

Another dude that I miss that really used to bring the heat was billms I remember some pretty good fights w/ him and Oblong

Those guys were awesome. I fought hard core with them but theu brought heat, it was good fighting. Omf made me a moderator on a board he started and that was as awesome as you'd predict

Or if guns are a right why do I only get one if I have enough money to buy it?

I recall his argument against health care as a right was that would force people to have to be doctors and I never understood how that same logic didn't force people to be gun makers

I don't want to speak for him and I'll apologize again if necessary but I recall his argument was basically you don't have a right to vote if there's no election going on

Lol gateway pundit is bankrupt

Shabba would argue about not having a right to vote too. My apologies to him if I'm misremembering

Chas I saw that they added a folder to the site for evidence and it had those pdfs in it but I hadn't looked yet. Those are hilarious. I love how Mr Everyone else is fake news literally had his own fake news generator

I also wonder what it was like when you're trying to filter bad polls out, or weigh them very low, and there's bad actors out there intentionally conducting bad polls and others can try to battle you with that fake crap. That's not to mention that clearly even good faith pollsters are really struggling with sampling these days.

Also, I think he's wise to not stake his career on averaging polls given the time tested principle of GIGO.

I think Nate Silver either could not or chose not to evolve with the field of data analysis. He gained prominence in a time period when data science was in it's infancy and by data science I mean the application of AI to data analysis which had been the industry standard before then. Now, there are free Python libraries that can automatically produce thousands and thousands of models like Nate made, test them all, rank them, add remove/remove all sorts of variables, automatically test which regression models best fit the data (poisson, LSS, etc) all automatically. Plus why wouldn't anyone just chose to be a pundit given that choice? Punditry is one of the least accountable, most upwardly failing jobs you can get. If he's known for predicting elections otherwise, you can get those wrong and look uncredible in your primary goal. As a pundit you might get a bunch of "this you" tweets when you're wrong bfd people don't look to pundits for right and wrong. they look to pundits for reassurance.

I'm really looking forward to the transcript from yesterday, it sounds like it will be a good read.

It is. Some folks were predicting jury selection could take 2 weeks!
