 Durbin calls for Alito recusal from Jan. 6 cases over upside-down flag that flew at his home
by Al Weaver - 05/17/24 12:27 PM ET

Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) called on Justice Samuel Alito to recuse himself from all cases related to the 2020 election and Jan. 6, 2021, after it was reported an upside-down American flag was flown outside his home in the days surrounding the attack.

According to The New York Times, an upside-down version of the flag was flown outside the Alitos’ home in Alexandria, Va., on Jan. 17, 2021, and potentially for several days during that time. The justice said in a statement that he has “no involvement whatsoever in flying the flag” and said his wife, Martha-Ann, hung the flag as part of a dispute with neighbors.

However, the news comes as the court is set to rule on two key Jan. 6-related cases, including whether former President Trump has immunity from prosecution. Durbin said Alito should step back during those cases and play no role in those rulings.

“Flying an upside-down American flag — a symbol of the so-called ‘Stop the Steal’ movement — clearly creates the appearance of bias,” Durbin said.

Oh here we go:

1. Conspiracy theory nonsense.

2. That classified info he read was from 20 years ago. It has been published all over the net since then.

3. Like coal?   

China is rapidly moving into renewable energy-more than all countries in the world combined.. Yes they are building coal plants left and right but many are not used rm use very little. Due to past droughts they lost their huge source of  hydro power They know they have a serious pollution problem.
Coal is also very expensive to China because of shipping from US and Australia. They also do not want to be dependent on us when war comes between our countries.
Here is something that isn't 'theory'. Twice in my career I experienced weather where the official NWS temperatures were given at -54 degrees Fahrenheit. For some time you could look up those temperatures in North Dakota and Wyoming, but now, they are gone. warmed up by 7 or eight degrees and the record temps are given as being in the 1930s.

It dawns on me that when screwing with data to make the curve hotter, that messing at the coldest temperatures might be the way to increase the temperatures for that year without raising the highs beyond what people recall. It's a classic 'watch one hand while the other one pulls off the trick' deception.

So, as far as I am concerned, your dataset is seriously and officially corrupted.

None of those 'adjustments' made the data any colder. Warming and cooling are part of the planet's normal cycle, and the critters that cannot adapt or move die off. I find it incredibly stupid that in this situation, humans would divest themselves of energy supplies that have worked and which might enable them to adapt to changing circumstances, just when they might need them most. That's ELS (Extinction Level Stupidity).
 
Climate runs in cycles, and even given that the cycle may be on the thermal uptick, who is to say that is a bad thing besides some real estate developers in coastal areas and insurance companies?
There is no owner's manual to lay out the status quo as the 'right temperature', only the howling of those who want to preserve a planet wide dynamic system in stasis. That is insanity. It is the delusions of power and grandeur of a few translated into Mass Formation Psychosis, and if allowed to proceed unchallenged, could conceivably lead to the extinction of humans, starving and shivering in the dark.

I'm from North Dakota, and I'm all for global warming, especially since the folks in charge declared war on anything but sunshine and wind as the means to derive energy warm a house--which just won't work here in the winter, and because it's just as easy to freeze to death at 25 below as it is at 30 below. If I wanted to live in some sunbelt hive I would be there. I don't.

It was a typo....   I swear.    :rolling:

AOC is more likely to scratch, bite or pull hair.

So, it was hot in Florida in May 15 years ago?

Climate Change happens - adapt or perish.

Mother Gaia does not have a thermostat that Man can use to manage the climate.

CO2 contributes to Global warming.  O2 and SO2 contribute to Global Cooling.

12,000 years ago - before Christopher Columbus and the Industrial Revolution - where I am sitting was covered by the Laurentide Ice Sheet.  It also retreated before Christopher Columbus and the Industrial Revolution.

Public resources should be allocated to adapting to Climate Change, while reducing pollution.

At best, Global Climate Change theory is an international anti-American Communist and Socialist conspiracy to destroy American Exceptionalism.

At worst, Global Climate Change theory is cover for elites to carry out mass extinction to achieve their ideal of utopia.

The Al Gore's of the world rail against cow farts as an excuse to remove meat from the human diet, yet, you know what else farts? - Elephants, Whales, Polar Bears, etc.  Where is Al Gore's plan to exterminate them?

As a deplorable, my needs are simple - leave me alone and stop trying to take away my stuff, commies.

I'll think of John Kerry the next time I'm taking a whiz at the airport before or after I fly coach; or when a private jet flies above my house as I'm taking a whiz at home.

MTG is more likely to fight dirty.  Check her boxing gloves for brass knuckles or horseshoes every round.

AOC is more likely to cry "foul" to the ref and appeal to the judges.

MTG will kneecap the ref or beat him uncounscious in the parking lot if she loses on points or TKO.

Don’t neglect to take fingernails into consideration. Who has those pointed acrylic nails?
AOC is more likely to scratch, bite or pull hair.

Tale of the Tape......

MTG

Height- 5'3"
Weight- 124 pounds
Reach- Est. 59"
Nut Job Factor- 10.0

AOC-

Height- 5'5"
Weight-  132 pounds
Reach- Eat. 61"
Nut Job Factor- 10.0

As far as the match,  I am thinking they are pretty evenly matched, though AOC does have the physical advantage.  MTG does appear to have more lower body strength and sharper knuckles.

AOC has that Latin temper, while MTG has that intangible of never pissing off a southern woman to the point of rage. Tenacity points should be pretty close.

Prediction?  MTG in the 14th round.

Probably a good thing I re-wrote this post before responding.   I'll just leave it as you sure have a lot of hyprocritic gall considering how you and your lackeys treated us in '16. 

Short memory, huh?
Comment deleted as after reading I decided it wouldn't be worth the drama (no matter how entertaining) :whistle:

That looks like boots on the ground ... or, are they wearing sandals?

WTF isn't this a UN or Arab League relief operation?

If there are too many Americans on the ground for too long, Gaza will be come another Mogadishu.
