More reassurance from someone who knows the turf (Obama vet Jim Messina)

Published by digby on September 6, 2023

THE KEY POINTS from the deck, titled “Off to the Races,” and our chat with Messina:
— The economic fundamentals are strong. The “misery index,” a bellwether economic measure that combines unemployment and inflation, is now lower than it was ahead of RONALD REAGAN, BILL CLINTON and Obama’s successful reelections. Messina also gives credit to Biden and team for consistently selling “Bidenomics” to voters, even as voter views remain stuck — likening it to the challenges Obama faced in 2012 as the economy slowly emerged from the Great Recession: “People thought we were crazy to go as early as we did with economic messaging.”
— Abortion is a major X factor. Democrats have long played defense on so-called culture war issues, but after the Dobbs ruling, Messina said, Democrats have an issue to rally voters around unlike anything he’s seen in modern politics. And its staying power, he added, is only buoyed by a Republican primary where a national abortion ban is continuingly put forward as a litmus test.
— The election is a choice, not a wish. Pressed on the dismal voter views of Biden, Messina said he is confident the qualms will wash away as the horse race takes shape. “It’s a choice between two parties, two ideologies, between two people,” he said. “And that choice matters. … People didn’t see the Democratic turnout in 2022 coming.” And while Messina assumes it’s a Biden-Trump rematch, he argues that even another GOP nominee can be painted as extreme and Trump-y.
AND THE BIG CAVEAT is whether that choice gets muddied: Messina is joining many other Democrats and some anti-Trump Republicans in fingering third-party candidates as a underappreciated threat to Biden.
“I don’t care what they do. I don’t care how much money they spend. I don’t care who their nominee is. They’re going to get zero electoral votes. The question is who do they take the votes from?” Messina said. “You just can’t split away votes if you want to beat Donald Trump. And I just cannot overstate how crucial it is to make sure that we don’t create a vehicle that takes enough votes up to elect Donald Trump.”

Ex-prosecutor Predicts What Proud Boy Prison Time May Mean For Trump
“Because that's what the rule of law would require," said Andrew Weissmann, who spelled out some not-so-good news for the former president.

Former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann has warned what kind of sentence may await Donald Trump if the former president is convicted in his election interference case.
After former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was sentenced Tuesday to 22 years in prison for his role in the violent Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, Weismann told MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell that Trump, if convicted in the trial that U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan has scheduled to start on March 4, would likely face just as much time behind bars.
“I think that the pressure that the judges will feel, who have seen so many people go to jail, rightly, for their participation on Jan. 6th, the idea that Donald Trump wouldn’t do at least as much time as the leaders of the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys, to me, seems unimaginable,” he explained. “Because that’s what the rule of law would require.”
“I think that this is a real sign of what’s to come if Donald Trump is convicted,” Weissmann added, noting Trump is “presumed innocent at this point.”

Jack Smith Is Done With Trump’s ‘Daily’ Social Media Posts
OVER IT

Donald Trump won’t stop posting about Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith and U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan–and now they fear those tirades will affect a jury pool. The posts, surrounding the Washington criminal case in which the former president is accused of attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, are now a “daily” occurrence and Judge Chutkan–who is presiding over the case–has previously warned the former president against making “inflammatory” statements that could taint a jury. Those warnings were ignored, however, and Trump continued on Tuesday, sharing a New York Post article on Chutkan: “Oh, I’m sure she will be very fair,” he wrote. He followed with a post about “deranged” Jack Smith with an “unchecked and insane aggression.” Tuesday’s complaint was noted in a filing by the Justice Department surrounding efforts to keep a motion under seal. The defense objected and asked for more time to review the documents. “Such a requirement would grind litigation in this case to a halt, which is particularly infeasible given the pressing matters before the Court—including the defendant’s daily extrajudicial statements that threaten to prejudice the jury pool in this case, as described in the Government’s motion,” Smith and his team wrote in response.

I'm so old...
I remember when politicians were admired for their age because that equated to knowledge and experience. Think McCain, Kennedy, Moynihan, the list goes on. What happened? Why is it such a sin for President Biden to be an elder statesman? I think he should be praised because he's learned a thing or three and has proved it, specifically irt diplomacy and temperment.
Maybe Dems need to change this disparaging framing of anyone who is older. And why is it ok for McConnell to keep doing what he's doing with obvious health issues, yet Biden needs to go? Doesn't make sense.

“War on Mexico”: Republicans Ramp Up Calls for Military Action As They Blast Democrats As Warmongers
by Heather Digby Parton | September 2, 2023 - 6:34am
— from Salon
Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Wednesday that the Democrats are going to drag the country into a full-scale war to "unite the country behind Biden." The Republican said it would "be horrific" and would infuriate the country "but make no mistake, they want war." Donald Trump was so pleased he actually re-posted her comment on his own social media platform Truth Social.
Greene trying to portray herself as some sort of peacenik is possibly even more hilarious than Trump doing it. They both like to position themselves as "anti-war" by calling Joe Biden a warmonger for supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russia's invasion. They claim to be "America First," or at the very least "non-interventionist," as if they just want to give peace a chance but they don't seem to realize that just doesn't scan as their faux pacifism is belied by their extreme bellicosity. Take for example this declaration from Greene just a few months ago:
As you can see, they've actually introduced legislation to "declare war" on the Mexican cartels. Trump is echoing this in his presidential campaign:
snip//
This talk is, to be blunt, batshit crazy. Mexico is a sovereign country and taking any of these actions unilaterally would be an act of war. Even such hawkish Republicans as former Ambassador John Negroponte are appalled at the idea. He points out that "Mexico is our largest trading partner, we share a 2,200 mile border and we have inter-relationships that are extensive and across an entire spectrum of issues such as migration, trade, people-to-people relations and environmental concerns." Needless to say, the Mexican government and its people would be outraged and defiant and the consequences would be dire.
The allegedly "isolationist" GOP of 2023 may love to call the Democrats warmongers. But just listen to that rhetoric and this rapidly evolving consensus that the U.S. should send troops into Mexico and it becomes obvious that the anger and hostility that animates their domestic policy extends to their foreign policy as well. They are the ones itching for a war. If I didn't know better I'd think they watched Russian President Vladimir Putin make his move against Ukraine and thought, "what a good idea!"

Fani Willis bares her teeth to keep the flock together.
Thursday, August 31, 2023 at 12:55:02p EDT
Beak
In her newest filling Fulton County DA Fani Willis has asked the court to advise the 19 defendants of the consequences a demand for a speedy trial would have for some of the rights they otherwise would have.
The wording of her motion suggests that she wants to show the defendants that she sees through their tactic of trying to get an expedited trial and then having evidence excluded because it was not disclosed in time.
That’s why she specifically asks the court to put them on the record.
What’s not really clear for me is what consequences the speedy trial date would have for the other defendants, as Willis obviously still wants to try them all together. Would they also loose the aforementioned rights even if they didn’t ask for a speedy trial for themselves? To my knowledge there hasn’t been a ruling on severing one or more cases up until now. Perhaps someone could comment on this issue (if anyone reads this diary at all).

The Defendants cannot now argue that they are entitled to the State’s discovery responses ten (10) days in advance of trial.
The Defendants cannot now argue that they are entitled to notice of the State’s similar transaction evidence ten (10) days in advance of trial.
The Defendants are now precluded from calling any witnesses whose statements were not provided to the State at least ten (10) days in advance of trial.
The Defendants cannot now complain that they received less than seven (7) days notice of the trial date in this case.

The State is entitled to a fair trial as well as the Defense. A defendant who does not possess discovery materials cannot file a statutory speedy trial demand and then claim that the State’s evidence should be excluded on the basis of this Court adhering to that same demand and scheduling accordingly. In other words, this Court should not be transformed into a forum for “Gotcha”.
That’s why she specifically asks the court to put them on the record.
Should the Defendants in this case desire to proceed to trial under these circumstances, then they should be required to confirm it, personally and on the record, prior to trial.

Jamie Raskin Asks Republicans To Subpoena Jared Kushner’s Investment Firm
A $2 billion Saudi investment "raises the significant possibility that there was a large quid pro quo" shaping Kushner's actions in the White House, per Raskin.
Arthur Delaney
Aug 31, 2023, 09:47 AM EDT
WASHINGTON — As Republicans search for evidence that Joe Biden abused his office to enrich his family, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) thinks maybe they should take a look at the Trumps.
In a letter to House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.), Raskin suggested the committee subpoena Jared Kushner’s investment firm for records related to the “extraordinary funding it received from foreign governments” in recent years.
Kushner, the son-in-law of former President Donald Trump, created the firm in 2021 immediately after leaving his job as a White House foreign policy adviser focused on the Middle East. Within six months, the company received a $2 billion investment from a fund overseen by the crown prince of Saudi Arabia.
The deal “raises the significant possibility that there was a large quid pro quo shaping Mr. Kushner’s official actions in the White House, where he helped dramatically recast U.S. foreign policy toward Saudi Arabia,” Raskin wrote Thursday.
snip//
Raskin’s letter on Thursday is a not-so-subtle suggestion by the Maryland Democrat that his Republican colleagues have been selective in their outrage over political families enriching themselves through public service.
Just as Comer and others complain that Hunter Biden had no obvious expertise in the Ukrainian energy sector, a panel that screens potential investments for the Saudi sovereign wealth fund judged Kushner’s firm lacking experience and charging excessive fees. The board overseeing the fund — led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, whom Kushner defended after he directed the assassination of a journalist ― overruled the panel.

Police in Norfolk, Nebraska, responding to calls of a man driving with a “cow” in his car were stunned to discover a local man with a huge Watusi bull riding shotgun in his vehicle.
“The officers received a call referencing a car driving into town that had a cow in it,” said police captain Chad Reiman told News Channel North-East Nebraska. “They thought that it was going to be a calf, something small or something that would actually fit inside the vehicle.”
In fact, the animal was a Watusi bull – a species of cattle famous in Africa with gigantic horns.
The driver was identified as Lee Meyer of nearby Neligh and police performed a traffic stop on his car. Meyer told them that the Watusi bull’s name was Howdy Doody.
“The officer wrote him some warnings,” Reiman told the TV channel. “There were some citable issues with that situation. The officer chose to write him a warning and ask him to take the animal back home and leave the city.”
Meyer – whose car appeared specially outfitted to have a bull as a passenger – promptly did.
