<\/p>\nYesterday,-I think I may have figured out how to prevent getting shorted in a grocery delivery order if there is one item you want a bunch of – six or more – and nothing else will do.\u00a0 The secret is to order however many you want of that one thing, and then, if necessary, add just enough to put your order over the minimum, so that if even one thing is not there, they will have to cancel the order.\u00a0 That’s what I did, and if I hadn’t, I would have gotten three at most, and maybe only two, when I wanted 8.\u00a0 They sent me eight – and on the receipt it was broken down to two, three, and three – in other words, they got 2 from hither, three from thither, and another three from yon.\u00a0 \u00a0And I received my eight.\u00a0 So I’m feeling a bit smug.<\/p>\n

\nQuote – HuffPost has been reporting on Peltier\u2019s imprisonment for months, and we emailed the Office of the Pardon Attorney late last month to see if a clemency petition filed in July by Peltier\u2019s attorney has moved along in the review process. The FBI unexpectedly wrote back. It sent over a statement saying it strongly opposes clemency for Peltier.
\nClick through for the bottom line<\/a>. Which is, if the FBI’s statements were factual, I can see their being so pigheaded\/ But the list of people who disbelieve the FBI’s statements, on the basis od what appears to be pretty solid evidence, is so long now I couldn’t reproduce it, and includes people as different as Mother Teresa, the Dalai Lama, and Senator Brian Schatz. Of course emotons run high. What is needed here is facts.<\/p>\n
\nQuote – So I naturally just wrote the entire story off as right-wing bullshit\/disinformation…. As it turns out, it was in fact right-wing bullshit\/disinformation. But I had no idea how extreme right-wing bullshit\/disinformation it actually is. Turns out, it is a pure dumpster fire on a train-wreck level of bullshit\/disinformation that only the stupidest, most gullible idiots would possibly believe has any merit.
\nClick through.<\/a> The Washington Post is his source, and I can’t get into it. but he has a helpful quote from it. And it really is dumb. So childish, I can’t imagine how the BS-ers managed to spell the long word correctly.<\/p>\n
\nQuote – Michael Cohen, the New York lawyer Trump used for years as his family company\u2019s trusted consigliere, told The Daily Beast he\u2019s already wasted too much of his time on a case that slowly and then suddenly doesn\u2019t seem to be going anywhere. Prosecutors only have until the current grand jury\u2019s term expires on April 30 to issue charges, at which point they must ask jurors who\u2019ve already done this for six months to continue hearing evidence\u2014or call the whole thing off and awkwardly make the entire presentation all over again in front of another 23 jurors.
