Trump Verdict Live Blog: GUILTY [...] Now that the verdict has come in, Trump's legal team can finally appeal the entire process in both state and federal courts, although an appeal in New York is the most likely starting point. Needless to say, there are any number of grounds on which this verdict could be appealed. Anticipating this verdict, former federal prosecutor William Otis laid out why he is convinced this verdict will not survive scrutiny on appeal: [...] https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2024/05/30/trump-verdict-n3789352

Scintillating Thursday repartee, yawn man. ------- Thrilling Thursday report, see man: It somehow did not monsoon at all today, amazing man. Mini-B. actually went along on Mama T-B.'s doc caucus, all descendants of senior she man present man. Afterward, we took Mini-B. to Taco Bell as promised, probably why wee man came along man. Lunch was bought not WUOC, financially profligate we man. Mini-B. got Many (2+2) enlarged tacos, ingest wee man. We got Many (2+2+2) regular tacos, ingest we man. These cost $Many ($[2 Manyzen]) -- si man, $Many ($[2 Manyzen]) -- out- - rageous man! This was more than the cost of an XL 'za, si man! Never again will we stoop to the pattern of the common man and lunch not WUOC, swear we man. An attempted siesta was interrupted by a call from our electric co. with an offered renewal plan, man. We put them off for an hour until we could research competitors' offers, si man. Co.'s offers were not competitive, point out we man. Salesdude offered another, also not competitive man. We finally got one that was only fractionally higher than the lowest available offer, financially savvy we man. Din-din was nuked beef kabobs (Costco), air-fried tater tots (Aldi), and canned barbecue beans (supermarket's closeout/dent bin), ingest Two Guys man. Mini-B. didn't want a movie night until too late to start one, zero sense of time wee man man. Quiescent miu roused her furry self to be thoroughly brushed twice, demanding miu man. Neighbor's miu made it back inside last night and wasn't seen today, absent invasive miu man. We have itineraried 2 ESs for Friday, hedge bets on basis of weather we man. Party with the rubias imminent, cavort we man.

Verdict can't be appealed in NY state until after that date. Needs to be slapped down by Appeals Court or Supreme Court. Unless it's appealed directly to the Supreme Court, no way the appeals will occur before November. The sentence will be to Rikers, or, if not (to appear "magnanimous"), house arrest in Trump Tower or Mar-a-Lago without the chance to travel or maybe even campaign remotely. Guaranteed.

To Save Time, Biden To Drop Next $320 Million Cash Directly Into Ocean WASHINGTON, DC — In a recent press conference, President Biden has confirmed that, rather than going to the trouble of building another temporary pier to provide humanitarian aid to Hamas, he will simply instruct the US military to dump $320 million of taxpayers' dollars into the ocean just off the coast of Gaza. https://babylonbee.com/news/to-save-time-biden-to-drop-next-320-million-cash-directly-into-ocean

Hamas Announces Pride Month Kick-Off Party On Roof Of Very Tall Hotel GAZA — Hamas leadership proudly announced Wednesday that their Pride Month festivities would soon start with a wild party where anything goes. The location? The roof of a very tall hotel where they can do the best kicking-off.

IDF: 'Small' Munitions Used in Deadly Rafah Strike Could Not Have Caused Such Devastation by Themselves Amid world outcry against an Israeli airstrike that took out two Hamas terrorist leaders but also reportedly killed dozens of Palestinian civilians, Israel Defense Forces said Tuesday that the "small munitions" used in the attack simply could not have caused the fire that caused such devastation.

Bidementia's brilliance strikes again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ $320 Million Gaza Pier in Shambles After 'Heavy Seas' Nearly Destroy It [...] The pier opened on May 17. It was shut down for several days because no one thought to provide security for the trucks rolling off the causeway. More than 70% of the aid was stolen before it even got to the warehouse. Don't worry, America. The pier will be towed to the Israeli port of Ashdod where it will be reassembled and towed back to its location so that the trickle of aid to Gazan civilians will continue. That is, at least until it experiences "heavy seas" again or, God forbid, a storm just blows it away. This is the perfect metaphor for the Biden presidency: poorly planned, poorly executed, and incompetently managed.

They're stuck with Bidementia now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Convention? What Convention? Dems Kill Biden Escape Hatch [...] the net result of this new strategy all but eliminates any convention switcheroo for a failing Biden. Before this plan, the possibility existed (unlikely as it was) that the DNC could change the rules to release all delegates on the first ballot and have a real open convention for the nomination. This "virtual vote" of delegates necessitated by Ohio's ballot-access deadline makes the convention entirely irrelevant, even more so than usual. It's now just a huge anti-climax signifying nothing at all, not even the pro-forma elevation of the nominee. They will have done that in a smoke-filled back room, or maybe more accurately, a vape-filled back Zoom.

Jeez!

DNC to Nominate Biden/Harris Virtually and Early Perhaps a better title for this article might have been, "The DNC's Convention is Now Utterly Meaningless." We previously discussed the convoluted mess in Ohio, where Joe Biden was in danger of not making it onto the ballot because of state election laws declaring that the names of all presidential candidates appearing on the ballot must be submitted prior to August 7. With the convention scheduled for August 19, they would have missed the deadline. The legislature in Ohio put forward two separate bills that would have allowed the Democrats to submit Biden's name later, but the proposal stalled because of disagreements over the details. Now the DNC has apparently thrown in the towel. They will "virtually nominate" Joe Biden and Kamala Harris prior to August 7 and submit their names to Ohio to ensure they appear on the ballot. So why bother having a convention in Chicago? [...] https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2024/05/29/dnc-to-nominate-bidenharris-virtually-and-early-n3789228

Correction can't come a moment too soon. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Justices on Both Sides Reject Modern Civil Asset Forfeiture The Supreme Court recently decided Culley v. Marshall, a case challenging the constitutionality of laws that deny owners prompt hearings when their possessions are seized through civil asset forfeiture. Civil asset forfeiture allows the government, usually law enforcement, to seize personal property that they suspect has been used in the commission of a crime. The onus is then on the property owner, even if innocent, to navigate the legal system to retrieve it. This is the Supreme Court's first ideological split of the term, with the six Republican-appointed justices in the majority and three Democratic-appointed justices in dissent, but explaining Culley this way misses an underlying consensus: Justices on both sides see constitutional flaws in modern civil asset forfeiture.
