Judge not lest you be judged. But we have to make judgments, (I right now am listening to Holy Wars/The Punishment Due, as in my later discussion of needing due process), to back our decisions, like for statewide or local or federal judge votes, much partisan rather for or against a man or woman. (Yes both sexes are allowed that these days, although some people would probably take a reverse on that.) But go beyond mere abortion and getting a handle on it, allegedly letting the ugly and bad guys go, and how you get to that point, (and the “verdicts” chosen go both ways including by the good.) So at least for a while, in how long you keep them in a cold cell. As the bell begins to chime, and for whom it tolls.
Commence Susan Crawford, and her kinda common-folkish ilk running at the local level, vs. that Trumpish token and allegedly for-pay (at least once and so sorry) lead Republican, Brad Schimel. And beyond the county circuits, reach this decision will, our 72 counties, as they’ll all, each and every one, be hit by the ramifications sooner if not later.
OK, as I evaluate the claims of letting the bad goons go way too easy, on which much of this election is based, so easy to find (but it can at times be justified), these days. It’s been said, and this time it’s true, that if it sounds too good (or should I say unrealistic) to be fact, it probably is not. Truth be damned. Yes, I want to let loose a child killer, it is central to my platform?!? OK … Tell the tale, it is central to no one’s agenda, regardless of gender or even party mostly, unless there is money to be donated. And it may or may not have to be big bucks. That is universal politics, though not to get partisan, but one party is far more beholden then the other. So if you hear BS, turn the other ear.
I have told this (lectured them) to others who blindly just believe whatever they want to hear, and to them I would say cross-check it, and not like a hockey player, across say, more than one news outlet, and God forbid don’t just rest your case on Fox News. MS-NBC maybe.
Crawford has just let vile people go? Check out the facts behind the BS. And here is what you just might find. You can’t just hold people forever, and keep them more than say a stay overnight from posting bail, without enough evidence to charge. (And when drugs and deals are involved, there is big money well behind it to get people out, making the task harder.) Or you eventually lose the case, and that helps nothing. And because of, read this truism first, staff cuts, the staff is very short handed anyway. Even if you think in your own heart and mind and soul they are the next coming of a Hitler/Dahmer, there is the rule of law that hear this, our country is based on. Due process, too, much neglected today for most. You know, that follow the constitution thang, much touted. Minus Jan. 6. Sorry Trump, in a Democracy you can’t just do whatever the hell you want.
Contrary candidate Brad’s band of beholden brothers argues that also, candidate Crawford is rejecting a bit of alleged natural scientific evidence that there are only the two sexes, and replacing it with mere ideology. Real science, not weird science, itself actually says far differently.
And it is said, (by a Brad PAC?), that Crawford wants to redefine what it means to be a woman in statutes, when they also want to do the same. In reverse effect.
It is of interest — and I’ve heard Musk gets around 27 percent so that’s millions a day — that liberal prosecutors have been criticized for not getting around to gathering enough evidence quickly to put away alleged gang members, when the ones beholden to Trump have been guilty of the same laxity involving lateness when not uncovering info on a similar plain, to deport by flights on a plane 200 people of questionable guilt to Venezuela. I guess getting the facts when you go well into the triple digits of alleged offenders …
Why do I say questionable? One is a pro soccer player from that country who was alleged to not have run illicit arms but have on his arm a gang tattoo. It was actually the logo of a favorite soccer club. Guess it’s gotta be a country club. One thing U.S. officials did know was that he would likely be tortured, again, once arriving back home. Asylum anyone? This would seem to merit. (Back to the scope of that in a minute — the computer tells me how long a read takes.)
But beware. Will we fall just like an empire, as alt music has warned, of old? Even the eternal Hammer of the Gods of the Immigrant Song had its Achilles Last Stand. Always new are your then old overlords.
All this chaotic activity, and to a lesser degree the Wisconsin justice jam, have attracted attention of the national news media, even days before the election, as again the presence of Elon seems to have pushed us back eons. His pay-you-to-vote $100 rate (for whom it tolls) scheme is I thought, something that if I run up a gas tab too big covering elections, I might bite on if bearing a-what-Musk-makes interest level, that could push it a Benjamin higher, selling your soul with putting miles on my soles. But with the markets his stock is likely plummeting like all the rest, or maybe not, and there could be a big bump with X being sold to XAI. Billions beget billions. (All these figures offered are not guaranteed like the FDIC would pledge to incorporate.)
Back to the pro soccer players. He should be vexed via being vanquished without valid reason back to his viral Venezuela. A judge or judgment chiming in said that the Trump response to why it was taking so long to produce evidence and them blowing off a deadline for such, and when it finally came: “Woefully inadequate.” Kick the proverbial can forward, and easily get it past a bad goalie. Their team further said, they will not freely in any way give out information involving a “counter terrorism operation.”
Apparently it’s terroristic to even challenge, say, the US in a World Cup competition. What else has he done wrong? Ditch due process. For foreigners.
A return from the lower Americas, aside the newly named Gulf: Our local mayor, and this is not a southern town where the mayor rules as law, is running for re-election, and one of his flyers stated he was “humbled” by the opportunity to serve. (Not as with Boss Hogg.) We could use more of that.
But a group touting his re-election bid is not so humble.
The Forward Freedom Alliance gives the same tired old tack that the alternative to Rich O’Connor, “Liberal Liz” as in Malanaphy, will increase taxes “on families,” not to mention electric vehicles, and touting DEI initiatives. Are we talking an automotive union rep here? The group in such a way mentions neighborhood watch and shows a picture of the foe of O’Connor that looks like a jail mug shot and says what she’d do would be “criminal.” If you look closely you will see that what she’s standing in front of is actually a standard height chart for if you stand tall, so it is unclear if what was implied was taken in jail or … wherever.
