Will The DC Circuit Order Sullivan To Dismiss Flynn's Case? It All Comes Down To One Judge: Today's oral arguments suggest the court is hesitant to order Sullivan to dismiss the Flynn case. How the court will rule likely rests in the hands of Judge Karen Henderson.

This is still going on?  As hard as it is to believe, there is some doubt about how this will go.

Weedeater

Update:

More weedeating, so to speak. This lot is a large area to be using a weedeater as a lawnmower. Anyway, it kicks my butt. I spent an hour and a half on it this morning. The weather has been cool and dry in the mornings lately, so it is a perfect time to whack some weeds.

Another reason I'm still at work at it is that I was experimenting with home made line. But that doesn't work too well, so I bought some line yesterday. Since I am a city feller, I haven't had much experience with these gadgets. Part of it is experimentation, another part is that I don't know what the bleep I'm doing.

It is good to get some exercise. This is exercise for me. Better than exercise, actually. It is better because I need to do it, and exercising is just too boring. It may help when exercising to have someone with you. When I exercise alone, it seems that I'd rather be doing almost anything else but this. Having someone with me helps me to forget how boring it all is.

I used to play golf. Like everything else, it is too rich for me now. Maybe I can make my own golf course when I go out west. Forty acres is enough for a few holes. Ooops! I forgot that I got rid of my clubs when I came out here. Never mind.

There are a few places that I could join, but there's the money issue again.

There are other options too, but frankly, I don't like to exercise. Lots of mosquitoes out there in the mornings. And it is too hot in the afternoons and evenings.

Weedeating will do.

Spent some time with the weedeater trimming down this jungle growing around here. The weeds grow like weeds. Afterwards, I felt good about it. I'm spending too much time indoors, it seems.

Hi-tech, ain't it great?

That is what you call sarcasm.

I've just spent a half-gig for this thing to tell me it won't post a video.

Why have the thing if you can't use it?

Is it dumb, or am I?

Some things about the Xbox seem beyond the pale of user unfriendliness.

If you got to shoot shoot, don't talk

Civil disorder is not about cops nor racism

It's about who controls the Democrat Party. Will it be the radicals or will it be the more "centrist" and "moderate" faction that has up to now. The civil disorder is a way to force these people "to their knees", and to give them something in exchange for their fealty. If not outright control, they want to influence. The George Floyd death was not the cause, but the excuse for launching this uprising. It has been in the plan all along.

The hard left wants control over the whole show. The "moderates" and "centrists" know very well that their goose is cooked if they allow this. This uprising works for them because they can pose as a restraining hand to these hard leftists, while at the same time, winking at them and letting them cause disorder and mayhem without really cracking down on it. They cannot crack down on them if they want to win in November- because to do so would cost them the election.

The Democrat Party is at war with itself and the rest of the nation.

The GOP has its own little war going on. As with the Democrats, it will be about who controls the GOP going forward. The Never-Trumpers and the Trumpers are the antagonists, and neither like each other, but they need each other---just like what's going on in the Democrat Party.

Hence you have the RINOS who won't support their own President in lending some political support to a crackdown. The RINOS are coming down on the side of the "moderate" and "centrist" faction amongst the Dems.

You have fractures on both sides of the aisle. The current struggle is about who controls each party going forward. It has nothing to do with George Floyd. It has everything to do with Party politics.

People talk about a Second Civil War. How does the current situation compare? The national parties also had seismic shifts just prior to the historical Civil War. The Kansas-Nebraska Act ended all basis for a Whig Party, so the Whigs went away. In their place, the modern GOP was born.

The Democrats in that era also had their split. There were the Cotton Democrats and the Northern Democrats. Each fielded their own candidate in 1860 and split their vote. Abe Lincoln won with less than a majority of the vote, but all the northern states, while the South threatened secession if he won. He did and the war was on.

It hasn't gotten that far in the modern time, but the party splits are similar. The thing that is different this time is not the states. There are blue states and red states, but within even the blue states, there are large areas that are red. Basically, the blue areas are islands within a sea of red. The blues control the cities and the reds control the countryside.

As for a modern civil war, the blues have no national basis for a shooting war. Not like the nineteenth- century South. You cannot run a country of city-states. The cities must control the countryside. Can they do it? The countryside favors things as they have been, and are by nature, a conservative force.

Therefore, this is a struggle for control over the parties and ultimately control over the country.

It isn't about race nor the police. It is about control.

Is this for real?

Rasmussen has Trump losing a bit of ground.  That is the poll I watch, and it is an approval/disapproval type poll.  I don't pay attention to matchups just yet.  Maybe I won't at all.

But for heaven's sake, why blame Trump for any of this in that Rasmussen poll?  What the hell is he supposed to do?  Maybe people expect him to "take a knee"?  I'm tempted to say "get the f*** out of here".

Have people lost their minds, or is there something else going on that polls don't pick up?

Violent Protesters Follow Cops Home, Start Fires: Report

Will there be accountability for this?

 Instead of "taking a knee", I can tell you where they can put it.

These politicians on the so-called conservative side need to start saying "no" to everything the left wants.

Every.  Single.  Thing.

Xbox and Truck Driver Sim

Howdy, truckers!

Just kidding. I can't back that up. Or can I? As a driver of a pickup or van, yes. As a driver of an 18-wheeler, no.

But that is what it is for. I might get sidetracked just playing this as a game. I'm supposed to learn how this works. To that end, I am noticing the physics of the thing and how it moves. That is, with respect to the trailer and when it is hooked up.

It should help somewhat, but at the same time, it can be distracting to start getting into the game itself.

I won't get into those details. Leave that to the gamers.
