Tuesday Overnight Open Thread (3/12/24)

Quote I

Quote II

"And I’m so proud of all the women in the outdoors now who are making that more cool or popular. So proud of us, I think we’re doing great." Hannah Barron

Quote III

“Congressman, I have no such aspirations, I can assure you. And I can tell you that partisan politics had no such part what-so-ever in my work. It had no place in the investigative steps that I took. It had no place in the decision that I made. And it had no place in a single word of my report,” Special counsel Robert Hur

Quote IV

"A lot of times, a jury will nullify the law while thinking they followed it.... At the end of the day, the jury has to decide: Is this guy a criminal, or is he a good neighbor? I could see the jury saying, 'This guy is a good neighbor.' Clay Conrad, a partner at Looney, Smith & Conrad

No shit hole here. I'm hoping a seasoned political veteran such as Steven Colbert takes a leave of absence to assist.

Do you remember that Paris Climate treaty? I'm not the only one who has forgotten.

No big North Sea fossil fuel country has plan to stop drilling in time for 1.5C goal
UK, Germany, Netherlands, Norway and Denmark have failed to align oil and gas policies with Paris pledges, say campaigners

No word if John F-ing Kerry will fly over on his private jet to wag his cowardly finger at the guilty drilling parties.

Hate crime? Perhaps. But if you are going to run with the big dogs you better learn how to lift your leg, especially in this situation.

Cops: Man Beat Victim After Trans Discovery
Defendant thought his wrestling opponent "was a girl," police say

MARCH 11--A violent assault this morning occurred after an Iowa man--thinking that he was horsing around with a girl--learned that the individual was “a transgender person,” according to cops who say the victim was left covered in blood and required hospital treatment.

Investigators say that after Justin Farrior Lewis, 35, spent time last night at an American Legion hall in an Iowa City suburb, he invited people he met there to his home.

Based on Facebook postings, Lewis (seen above) appears to be a U.S. Army veteran.

While inside the residence, Lewis “engaged in a physical wrestling match” with an opponent “the defendant thought...was a girl,” according to criminal complaints which detail the 2:30 AM incident.
