Did someone sneak into the NYT and start writing proper headlines without them noticing?
Article about the grifters involved in gifting Kodak all that money to "find something new".
The DFC is an institution that, per its mission statement and Congressional charter via the 2018 Better Utilization of Investments Leading to Development (BUILD) Act, is "focused on promoting inclusive economic growth in the world's least developed countries."
I mean … I knew things were bad in Rochester, but I didn't know they were that bad.
------------------
Based on yesterday's closing price of $33.20 for the stock, I figure Jim and George and Philippe have made about $400 million over the past 48 hours.
------------------
I'd be remiss if I didn't acknowledge the effort of the small-fry Kodak grifters who covered their tracks and tipped their buddies about the deal, sparking 1.65 million Kodak shares trading for $2 and change on Monday, about 25 times the average trading volume of the prior week, in advance of the Tuesday announcement.
I would hope that lots of people in the Rochester area are about to get a crash course in what constitutes material non-public information and what their responsibilities are in this regard, whether they are the tipper OR the tippee.
But with the current priorities of the SEC and the Justice Department, I'm not holding my breath.
------------------
On the government-grift side, it's Donald Trump, who gets a press conference and a talking point.
It's Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who sit on the DFC board of directors and approved this deal, each pocketing a favor.
It's Larry Kudlow, University of Rochester alum and friend of Kodak, who pockets a BIG favor.

The Grifters, chapter 1 – Kodak
We've been assaulted by three brutal grifts in just the past week ... three smacks from Bobo and his bag of oranges ... each deserving

Truly we simply crossed into some freakishly bizarre timeline. Dude is absolute trash, I'm sure the intent is the man wants to follow through with knocking the state's ability to enforce any kind of the law against him, but all the same... wild times we live in.
The live chat reactions though...
Sad thing about the Herman Cain news is that it won't matter to Republicans. Not until a prominent white Republican dies from the virus will they take it seriously.

Senate Intel Chairman Marco Rubio tells us that he wishes Trump wouldn't have suggested delaying the election.
Senate Intel's reports on election security have emphasized that POTUS and other admin officials should not undermine trust in U.S. elections.
"I wish he hadn't said that. But it's not going to change — we're going to have an election in November. And it's going to be one people should have confidence in," Rubio told me

This Justice Department loves writing unsolicited memos. I'm guessing Billy Barr has one ready to go about this. Jesus fucking Christ.
Hilarious how the anti-science, anti-expert party suddenly appeals to authority of "they're DOCTORS, doctors are always right!" for these quacks.
This one may seem weird but: I've recently seen at least some people in the survivalist/cowboy community start to actually say (drumroll please) black people have a point and have been brutalized by state enforcers for generations.
Maybe it's just because they've seen white people finally being beat down by the police and state power, and are wondering if they're next.
For sure, but also it goes without saying that the Bundy types are more for simply monopolizing state owned land and avoiding enforcement all together, you might walk the same road as some of the hardline libertarians before they get on the offramp towards weird ethnostate highways or other bonkers fringe right wing stuff.
He has to do so. He risks his constituents being confused and thinking the Election is delayed or illegitimate therefore why go and vote.
I wonder if Trump assumed the GOP would be open to his bullshit here, since a.) they've been caving to his dumb shit for three and a half years now, and b.) it all looks bad for them, too, so they should want to delay the election to save their seats. That he can't do that actually mattering would be a shock to him.
Rick Wilson has said many times that voting by mail was their secret sauce in Florida. The GOP failing to stand up for it is going to completely fuck them over and I love it.
VBM was a large part of why we ended up with Cory Gardner. Republicans really pushed a GOTV effort focused on rural CO and the expanded VBM and he squeaked in under the radar.
It won't matter even then. There's no empathy in the modern GOP.
"Where is the virus not raging out of control right now? Let's go there and help it resurge."
God put a warning if you're going to post a tweet with a big image of his face in it
"Y'know the thing about a turtle , he's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes..."
At the very least, this seems like something (FINALLY) congressional republicans are willing to go hard in the paint against.
So what's McConnell going to do when Trump has Barr release a statement that due to the civil unrest across the country and the virus, the election must be delayed (or suspended) for the safety of the American people?
The full DC circuit is going to hear the appeal to Flynn's dismissal. They should just punt this out to February and let Biden's DoJ take over.
We all know that, but when has that stopped this administration from doing whatever it wants?
He doesn't have to do anything because Barr doesn't have the authority to do so.
No I mean, if she's not in the senate, subpoenaing witnesses and grilling them in committee hearings would not be her job anymore lol
Barr can't do anything so what does it matter.
Unless Barr is going to arrest every Congress person until they agree to delay the election there isn't anything he can do.
Joseph ignored Donald's shitty tweet and went straight to the economy and ui reports:

Trump's election tweet is to distract from John Lewis' funeral since Trump can't have someone better than him be the focus of the news. At the same time he could probably delay the election and get away with it with help from Barr, because he's broken the supposed law multiple times before and he continually gets away with it.

Neither Barr nor Trump has the authority to postpone the election single-handedly. Trump and Barr could claim its postponed all they want it wouldn't matter. Polls will open on Election Day regardless and Dems and Moderates are still gonna show up on and cast their votes. Hell maybe Trump saying the election is postponed (when it's actually not) might get half of his base to stay home :P
