@Kinnison I am hearing (and reading) multiple accounts and they're all different.

Someone in law enforcement that I trust says the story is true, but as you pointed out, others are saying otherwise.

What is true is that he was served within an hour of taunting the AZ Atty. General's office on White Twitter.

The rest is just bread and circuses.

Even better still, it appears that the Marshall was in the room when they all sang "Happy Birthday".

I've taken a look at the timeline of events, and near as I can tell Rudy taunted the authorities on White Twitter and was served his indictment paperwork within an hour.

AN HOUR.

What a fuckup Rudy is.

@Museek No one would ever believe it.

Or much worse, they would.

Jean-Luc Ponty's out-of-print album "Life Enigma" is now finally available for streaming! It was the first album he released on his own label.

The link below is for Spotify but it's available anywhere.

It's pretty good in my opinion. It still has some of the excesses of his "computer age" music, but there's some real jazz fusion there as well, and Ponty is still one of the pioneers of jazz violin.

If you like this sort of thing, you should check it out.

Chart Position!

It's arbitrary and won't last, but I'm still going to take it.

@publickovacs It would, from multiple points of view. But, alas, it isn't going to happen.

It also means that when Kamala runs in 4 years she can't pick Governor Newsom.

Constitution, 12th amendment, excerpt: "The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves"

i.e. The President and Vice President cannot be from the same state. So...

Trump can't pick any of the Florida assholes who have been coming to New York to kiss the ring, including but not limited to Geatz, Rubio and Rick Scott.

As promised, here is the blog version of Radio Free California, Episode 2420. No real cheap shots this week other than once I've already taken in my previous post. Still great music though, plus a video I always enjoy seeing.

I note that on the wire transfer to reimburse Cohen that the Trump Org. paid the Wire Transfer Fee. In accounting circles that’s an acknowledgement that Trump Org. is the “Responsible Party” in this whoe affair — in other words if Cohen had to pay the fee he wouldn’t have been made whole for the reimbursement, or would be stating that he had a share of responsibility for the origin of the expense.

That’s the ballgame IMHO.

Pro tip for any gfuitarists who want to play Cory's part in this song - he has tuned the low E string down to drop D.

In August 2020 there was a terrible explosion in Beirut. I'm sure most of you remember it.

I was today years old when I discovered a Youtube channel of different videos just of the event itself.

It's both fascinating and horrible to watch - there are hundreds of videos. This won't be for everyone. I'm not even sure it's for me. I am however fascinated by the mere existance of the channel.

Um, holy fuck.

Actual transcript from Trump's speech just now: "Silence of the Lambs. Has anyone ever seen The Silence of the Lambs? The late, great Hannibal Lecter is a wonderful man. He oftentimes would have a friend for dinner. Remember the last scene? "Excuse me. I'm about to have a friend for dinner," as this poor doctor walked by. "I'm about to have a friend for dinner." But Hannibal Lecter. Congratulations. The late, great Hannibal Lecter..."

Soo it appears that he was made a delegate without asking him first. The whole "he's a delegate" was actually "he's been ASKED to be a delegate". He has declined.

So again, we wait.

I'm going to disagree with everyone and say that is not "fair game".

Not yet.

To the best of my knowledge, he hasn't said a single word publicly about positions and other things all of his other siblings have done.

So we wait. We wait until this young man does something of his own volition.

I don't think I will happen, but it would be nice to be surprised and learn that maybe he's not like the rest of them.

But the countdown has begun.
