1. The uncensored 911 call from former @DallasPD officer Amber Guyger has just been released. The call takes place immediately after she shot unarmed Botham Jean in his own apartment.

A few immediate thoughts come to mind.
2. It's heartwrenching to listen to. A lot of folks are going to key on Guyger's seeming concern for her own job. Wouldn't focus on that too much. Poorly trained people under extreme duress say weird stuff. She clearly regrets shooting Jean. However . . . .
3. What's most clear to me is that Guyger had no business being a police officer. She sounds completely overwhelmed by events. Absolutely untrained and unprepared. You simply cannot be the type of person making this call while also being a cop.
4. It's also not clear whether she was even rendering first aid. It sounds like she wasn't. I could be wrong.

Rotating habitats are cool, but has he thought about spending it on, say, cancer research or endowments for universities that serve underprivileged students or a malaria vaccine
Or on climate change
Or this, the best idea: Take his money and spend it on the genuinely useful and civilizationally important things above

She also spent a lot of time explaining why the best strategy is to do nothing about it.
Pelosi is saying A) the President may not leave office peacefully if he loses.

But she also assumes B) it will be a free and fair election.

If you believe A, then you should not assume B.
Pelosi is quite literally abdicating her responsibility to conduct proper oversight of the presidency. That's the job of Congress. She's Speaker of the House.

The #MAGA crowd got @mistermegative suspended for calling Robert E. Lee (who died 149 years ago) a traitor.

This is ridiculous @Twitter, so you should fix it. @TwitterSupport @jack
Now @Twitter has rejected @mistermegative's appeal and threatened to permanently suspend his account -- for insulting Robert E. Lee.

While @mistermegative remains in Twitter jail, @jack allows Donald Trump's truly destructive account to remain. Absurd. @TwitterSupport
Here's another example of trolls mass reporting something innocuous and Twitter suspending the account. Pretty ugly.

April is MYTHBUSTING month
It seems that a large number of myths have developed about what is involved in being defence counsel. The judges and others have been confused into believing them, so (helpful as ever) let me bust a few:
1. In the morning, before a hearing, the pre-trial con with the client is actually very important. When the cells say “not before 9.30 or after 4.30
2. Moreover, if the defendant has been stuck in a bus for ages and arrived a few minutes to pee or gather thoughts
3. It takes time to get in and out of the cells and, often, they don’t fetch the client until you have booked in. That’s why I need 25 mins for a 10 minute conversation
4. Clients are not passive receptacles of my wisdom - they have questions, concerns or just need support.

Let me better explain this to you.

Hours after a stranger shot #BothamJean IN HIS APARTMENT, police got a search warrant to search HIS APARTMENT.

They began their investigation into HIS MURDER by searching through HIS belongings.
American Police are fundamentally INCAPABLE of policing and investigating themselves.
In his 26 years on earth, Botham Jean NEVER had a single ticket, a single arrest, a single conviction, or even a single behavioral note in college.

Not one. Ever.

How dare police and the media attempt to insult his character and integrity today.

1) Bruce Ohr’s relationship with Christopher Steele via texts and emails has been thrust into the spotlight recently.

The texts and emails are between Ohr and Steele but involve other parties as well.
themarketswork.com/2018/08/12/the…
2) Ohr is a long-time friend of Steele w/relationship going back to at least 2006 (includes Ohr’s wife Nellie).

Adam Waldman represented Oleg Deripaska & Sergey Lavrov.

Waldman also represented Christopher Steele & Julian Assange.
3) Steele appears to be lobbying on behalf of Oleg Deripaska – raising questions of Deripaska’s role in the Dossier.

It’s not clear if Steele was employed by Deripaska – but it feels that way.

This question was first raised by Grassley in February 2018.

I am embarking on rewatching all MCU movies in order, ready for Infinity War. Prepare for me to once again begrudgingly acknowledge Cap 1 is actually a good movie. I will attempt to keep live tweeting to a minimum but cannot promise anything.

Wish me luck, friends.
