So, we decided to introduce our little chicks to the big Silkies, and so far, it’s going pretty well.
Possibly the best thing that’s happened in 2020
Also, there were dust baths
There was a little pecking, but I think this is going to work out just fine.

I am just digging into this now, but “tax avoidance” is typically a federal crime. Failure to pay can be a misdemeanor but lying about your income in forms you sign is a felony. OK, BRB. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
“They report that Mr. Trump owns 100s of millions of dollars in valuable assets, but they do not reveal his true wealth. Nor do they reveal any previously unreported connections to Russia”-this seems to significantly undercut expectations. Also, no specific misrepresentations.
But there is a strong suggestion Trump has dramatically inflated his income, at least in some years: In 2018..Trump announced in his disclosure that he had made at least $434.9 million. The tax records deliver a very different portrait of his bottom line: $47.4 million in losses.

This: the concern of Durham allies who believe he’s under pressure to produce “something” before the election “is that the Russia investigation group will be disbanded and its work lost if Trump loses” makes no sense because there are 2 more months (con’t) courant.com/news/connectic…
after the election to bring the case & no experienced prosecutor like Durham wants to bring a case before it’s ready, as though somehow all that matters is just getting it indicted & not the outcome at trial months down the road. Also, cases don’t disappear just because (con’t)
administrations change. The career prosecutors who work on cases see to that. One of the 1st cases tried in my office after I took over was a public corruption prosecution of Dem officials. Righteous cases don’t just disappear. There’s no legitimate reason for Durham to be rushed

1/ Husband just now: You’ve got a problem (said in THAT tone)

Me: wonders what one of “my” children has done now

Husband: The black chick is out of the coddler.
2/ The black chick, whose name is Poe, has greeted me from this interesting perch atop his water bottle the last few mornings. (Despite the sort of freaky lip smacking, the dogs have been very good about this)
It was only a matter of time.

1/ The stories about Post Office delay are nothing other than rank voter suppression. If people lose confidence in the PO’s ability to get their mail in/absentee ballots to them in a timely fashion, they won’t vote by mail. That’s the safest way to vote during a pandemic.
2/ So, if you’re sitting at home worried that your post office won’t get your ballot to you on time or won’t get your ballot back to be counted, you’re probably on the fence about signing up for a mail in ballot, right? You’ll delay the decision and think about voting in person.
3/ By installing a top fundraiser at the PO to do this damage, Trump is actively engaged in voter suppression, something no president should do, but of course, 3 1/2 years in, we know how Trump works. & Trump is hoping you’ll just stay home in November as the Covid ticks up.

1/ The statement accompanying Roger Stone's commutation is a piece of work, even for Trump. The full text is worth a read. Here are the final sentences, where Trump plays the role of a defense lawyer who has won an acquittal for his client. whitehouse.gov/briefings-stat…
2/ The opening of the statement is equally detestable. Presidents take an oath to uphold the Constitution, but Trump, as he has all along, dismisses Russia's interference in our 2016 election as a hoax. The FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation into it & rightly so.
3/ Forgive me, but who writes like this? It's ridiculous. Unfortunately, it also comes from the President's office. Of course, it's untrue & there was evidence of collusion altho Mueller concluded, not of criminal conspiracy.

Trump v. Mazars is also 7-2 with the same split. supremecourt.gov/opinions/19pdf…
The Court rehearses some context, but then says this case is different.
Essentially, the court rejects the approaches offered by both the President's lawyers & by the House, creating a 4 prong approach for lower courts to use in evaluating Congressional subpoenas to a POTUS to insure the separation of powers is preserved.
