Subsequent GTD reflections

Hello there fellow DFO’er.  Hope you’re well today.  And thanks for coming back to see last weeks comments of the week as decided by my brain.  There’s no reason as to why some comments make it and others don’t. Seriously. There isn’t.

Today is the start of my 50th trip around the big burning fusion thingy in our sky that turns Hydrogen into Helium. So yay me. My work gives us our birthday off, so I also, humble brag, took yesterday off for a 4 day weekend and a short week. And it’s even shorter with Easter and Good Friday, so hurray for 2 day weeks. Today’s plan is to sleep in, colon and wonky body willing, and then to hang out with my lovely wife and then go out for a dinner somewhere.

This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:

Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, ‘It might have been [in bed]’.
John Greenleaf Whittier

There’s a pill for that.

As a reminder, Sunday comments stand alone and Monday comments will go on the next week’s post.

Note that during the offseason, I’ll probably look at the Sunday posts.

Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.


Last day, going out in style:

Hey, El Segundo is Brick-adjacent!

Look at the aerial photo of Top Golf. Go to the center-top, and then down a little. At the top of a flagpole you’ll see a black square with a white dot in the middle.

Is this the golfing flag? No, it’s a target! The property behind Top Golf is Raytheon Space Systems, and they make satellites and sensors. It used to be Hughes (as in Howard Hughes) so they do all sorts of crazy shit there. The target is a giant billboard and they focus on it from all sorts of different Raytheon facilities.

The other property there, that looks like a shopping center, is a plant that makes potable water from sewer water, and then sells it to the masses after adding brain-control chemicals developed by – you guessed it – Raytheon Technologies! The brain-control chemicals are manufactured across the street at – you guessed right again – the gigantic Chevron/Standard Oil refinery controlled by the Rockefellers! The sewer water comes from the Hyperion plant down the road, which was the filming location of – this is no surprise – Soylent Green!

Enjoy your “golfing” folks.

Ok – Today’s hate…

The fuckers that breed dogs for puppy mills.

I was taking my son to a swim lesson at the end of last week and the pool is next to a Target. I parked my car and in jumped an amazing female black lab who was extremely emaciated.

I got the dog in my car, gave it my dinner (we were eating tacos before his lesson) dropped my son at this lesson, then went to Target to buy it Kibble, a water bowl, collar and leash. I set up a crate for it that evening in our basement (until I could get it checked for diseases so it wouldn’t hurt our other dogs). I got up early the next morning, called my vet at 7:00 so that I could show up before the vet opened, and got the dog checked out. $300 later, she has a fully clean bill of health.

The humorous part was when I got to the vet, the vet tech said, “I’m going to check her for a microchip.” I responded, “Sure, I know that you need to for your job, but if you find the owner that would do this to her, just give me the address, and let me take care of it. Have you seen the John Wick movies?”

The vet estimated that she had had four litters of puppies, and was only 5 years old. She was 47 pounds, and should be 65.

I’ve been making her ground beef every day, and now she is up to 51 pounds in two weeks (I’m very careful to keep the weight gain at a healthy pace). But seriously, who the fuck can do this to a dog and live with themself?

So, now we have a third dog, and everyone is happy, but I’m very much hoping that some day I find the asshole that breeds dogs, doesn’t feed them, and discards them in Target parking lots. I have a decent nest egg from working, etc. so I’ll be happy to pay for the attorney I will need following the encounter.

Poppy (our new dog) is shown here.

I need to hear the evidence before I celebrate.

Also why is the next court hearing in December? I know it’s not as fast as it is on Law and Order where it’s all figured out in a week or so, but can’t we at least give the lawyers a month. If they can’t figure out how to make their case by then, they’re not going to figure it out

WCS

He’ll continue to rally and bilk his cult for his defense fund, with MTG and Boebs in Colorado along for the ride.

Horatio Cornblower

Yeah, anyone thinking this is going to happen any time soon is going to be sorely disappointed.

Also, as I understand it, the State of NY is trying to turn what are ordinarily misdemeanors into felonies by attaching the falsifying of business records (a state misdemeanor), to an intent to commit electoral finance/elections in general fraud, which State law would then convert the misdemeanor to a felony.

The problem with that, and it’s one most experts, (and I’m not, to be clear), on both sides seem to agree on is that elections are strictly federal in terms of jurisdiction and New York probably doesn’t have grounds to enforce those laws, which means the felony conversion won’t work. And probably shouldn’t, and I say that loathing Trump.

Redshirt

Yeah. This case is the weakest one. If anything, it gets GA and the Special Prosecutor seven months to find a smoking gun. If we go into 2024 with this being the only active case, it plays into their hands as calling it an unfounded witch hunt.

Horatio Cornblower

Georgia is much more of a problem for Trump, and I think that the Mar-A-Lago document fiasco is also a serious problem, but that one requires Merrick Garland to start acting like a prosecutor and that doesn’t seem likely to happen any time soon.

Garland got screwed on the Supreme Court nomination, but quite honestly he’s a shit AG and if there’s a second Biden term he needs to move the fuck on.

Also, as I understand it, the State of NY is trying to turn what are ordinarily misdemeanors into felonies by attaching the falsifying of business records (a state misdemeanor), to an intent to commit electoral finance/elections in general fraud, which State law would then convert the misdemeanor to a felony.

Has it not already been established that the crime connection occurred, since Cohen was prosecuted for that crime and pled guilty to it?

Horatio Cornblower

It’s not that a crime has been established, it’s whether New York has jurisdiction over that crime. They, of course, will claim that they do; the defense will file motions seeking to dismiss the charges as not properly before the Court, and we’ll see who wins.

Since I keep seeing the State’s approach described as a “novel legal approach” I’m not wildly optimistic. I also keep hearing that it’s similar to the charges brought against John Edwards, and since he walked away from those I am, again, not wildly optimistic.

The Statement of Facts is the more interesting read:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fyqd0PFgHDLaDmPAYGahIbWuxWiIhjjW/view

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

A couple of things I found pretty interesting:

1. Trump initially wanted to make the payment in cash. I’m guessing Cohen (as a lawyer) advised him against this because it would have then become a tax fraud issue?

2. One of the potential defenses to his actions is that he didn’t want his *wife* to find out about the affair. But that gets blown to pieces given that he was hoping to delay payment until after the election, and then not pay at all because at that point it wouldn’t have mattered to him.

Redshirt

Trump is smart to suggest money, though. The paper trail is what got him. You give the lawyer the cash and start being overly generous by over tipping people by tens of thousands to plausibly explain why that much money went away, and that reasonable doubt right there.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

There would be a paper trail with cash, too, though. The way they tried to do it was at least an *attempt* to make it look legitimate.

Not to mention that if they found a way to pay Stormy in cash that *didn’t* leave a paper trail, she could just turn around and say that they never fulfilled their side of the agreement (i.e. paying her) and sell her story to someone else. And there would be fuck-all they could do to stop her.

Okay, I just spoke like a MAGA. I’m going to go throw up now.

Redshirt

Better. Defense strategy is probably either “Trump didn’t know Lawyer A actions were illegal”, “Trumps actions are wrong but don’t rise to the level of a crime”

So Jury Nullification or Hung Jury.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That’s the best the defense can hope for, but the jury will be very clearly instructed of the fact that “ignorance of the law is not a defense”. And I don’t think the prosecution will have a hard time explaining that a) Trump did X and b) X is against the law. “Right” or “wrong” is not something for the jury to consider.

It can be both, and in this case appears to be.

One of the things about working at home and having the TV on constantly is the barrage of ads aimed at people swimming in the shallower end of the gene pool. Car Shield is currently employing, in one commercial, Ice-T, Allan Iverson, and Ric Flair where they’re in a barber shop telling people how much Car Shield can help them with repairs without mentioning that what they’ll pay in premiums and deductibles could likely buy them a car to replace that old beater with the transmission that keeps falling out.

If those commercials were set up at SVU clips where Ice-T explains to the others (who are detectives, I guess?) how popular Car Shield is with the kids these days (“they call it ‘Holiday Road’…”) they would be fantastic.

Hey, Longtime Lions Loser, if you do happen to find the guy who dropped the dog off at the parking lot I will be unable to assist you as an attorney.

Because I expect you to call me so that I can be an accessory to whatever you have planned. I have access to a lot of land and earth-moving equipment, so you likely won’t need an attorney anyway.

With the dogs.

“Officer, Horatio’s pet little person [appropriate term for little person used during this questioning] can vouch for our whereabouts during the time that the ‘victim’ you mention went missing.”

I won absolutely nothing. I sincerely doubt anyone else in the pool even paid attention once the Elite Eight round ended.
