“I find it outrageous and out of touch that during this national pandemic, a judge, in a county that actually released hardened criminals for fear of contracting COVID-19, would jail a mother for operating her hair salon in an attempt to put food on her family’s table,” said Attorney General Paxton. “The trial judge did not need to lock up Shelley Luther. His order is a shameful abuse of judicial discretion, which seems like another political stunt in Dallas. He should release Ms. Luther immediately.”
We should not be jailing people for trying to work... even if you disagree with the decision of this particular small business owner, the act of jailing her makes her into little more than a martyr for the cause.
UPDATE: A GoFundMe page that was set up for Luther has, so far, raised just over $280,000. The goal was originally $250,000 but it has since increased to $500,000.
Suppose she can afford the attorney and the $500/day fines?

Abbot can commute the sentence or pardon her. I suggest he commutes it to a $50 fine. To pardon would make his EO toothless and to keep the excessive sentence would render his objection disingenuous.
House dems are going to what's possibly their oldest tactic. No matter how many billions and trillions of dollars are spent on something, they knew jerk to an it doesn't go far enough response. Now they're putting together another Stimulus bill that'll be multi trillion dollars. They're intolerable
Forget the polls propping up Biden. Betting odds have Trump +8.2.
Joe has been in his Basement Bunker.
It is his version of Hillary's apartment hideout.
Get the feeling gamblers aren't quite believing the polls.
And I suppose we have to have a memo to James:
Bookies don't set odds arbitrarily, they set odds in response to action they are getting, the goal being to get equal action on both sides of the bet.

And a new poll has Joe +20 with women nationally......geezus....can't understand why it is not higher.....sure seems like a lot of dumb cunts in this country still support the idiot in the WH!!!!!!
It won't get much higher and I even think it is overstated at best.
However the Democrats advantage among women and especially single women is a historic reality. They are the ones most like to vote for the party of Uncle Sugar.
the founders would be shooting by now.
the founders would be shooting by now.
Indeed they would. It's very similar to when the British decide it was too dangerous for those "terrorist" at Lexington and Concord to have guns.
Trump honors nurses at the Whitehouse today snd still, the media criticize. And the nurses all backed him up for it.
Screw the media. They are a big reason the country is do divided.
Kayleigh own them to today.
Just waiting the mime showing Acosta in a dog collar with Kayleigh holding the leash.
Yep.
A shout out to the Three Socialist Stooges of CHT , can you post some stories of the great work coming from the Clinton Foundation and the Same for the Obama Foundation.
Thanks.
3:40 My balls and Fn'Daddy seem to be claiming (and Fn'Daddy actually said it!) that the betting odds are better predictors of who will win the election than is the polling.
The day before the voting for Clinton Vs. Trump took place, the betting odds had Clinton with an 88% chance to win against Trump's 13% chance to win.

Oh NO Coumo.
"New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said Wednesday that most new patients hospitalized with the Chinse coronavirus have largely been sheltering at home, calling the preliminary data “shocking.”
Cuomo said during his daily press briefing that the early findings surveyed 100 New York hospitals involving approximately 1,000 patients. Sixty-six percent of new hospital admissions were patients who virtually remained in their home, while nursing homes ranked second for new admissions at 18 percent."
James, back then you supported the beating odds .
Trump Declares Victory Before the War Is Over
May 6, 2020 at 9:33 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
“Confronted with America’s worst public health crisis in generations, President Trump declared himself a wartime president. Now he has begun doing what past commanders have done when a war goes badly: Declare victory and go home,” the New York Times reports.
“The war, however, does not seem over. Outside New York, the coronavirus pandemic in the United States is still growing, not receding. The latest death toll estimates have more than doubled from what Mr. Trump predicted just weeks ago. And polls show the public is not ready to restore normal life.
“But Mr. Trump’s cure-can’t-be-worse-than-the-disease logic is clear: As bad as the virus may be, the cost of the virtual national lockdown has grown too high. With more than 30 million people out of work and businesses collapsing by the day, keeping the country at home seems unsustainable. With the virus still spreading and no vaccine available until next year at the earliest, though, the president has decided that for life to resume for many, some may have to die.”
____________
We have a President who may be willing to sacrifice untold numbers of our citizens in his meglomaniacal conviction that his reelection must be assured or is even divinely ordained.
What I said to the lying POS "pastor" was it was great that Trump was so far exceeding his polling and betting odds from 2016. Both had him losing then by a much larger margin. which he greatly over performed. Looking much better for 2020.
Guess butt buddy is affecting his iq.
Or maybe besides his constant plagiarism he is now also sharing Biden's dementia.
ROFLMFAO !!!
what a fucking mindless waterboy he constantly proves !!!

F'n can twist and turn and curse and make baseless charges all he wants-- (it really gets boring, doesn't it) -- but he DID say that the betting odds were a better indication than the polling. He made the claim twice.

Opinions
George Conway, contributing columnist:
Trump went ballistic at me on Twitter. Here’s why he reacts with such rage.
Americans died from covid-19 at the rate of about one every 42 seconds during the past month. That ought to keep any president awake at night.
Not Donald Trump.
Just days ago, the president flipped out at a detailed New York Times article that described how he watches television at all hours, obsessed about how he’s covered in the news. As though to prove the story’s thesis, Trump rage-tweeted that it was a “phony story” and that the media would say “Anything to demean!”
And then, as though to prove the point again, at 12:46 a.m. on Tuesday, Trump went ballistic on Twitter — at me.
In a four-tweet screed, he attacked me and my colleagues at the Lincoln Project as “LOSERS,” “loser types,” “crazed” and “a disgrace to Honest Abe.” About me, he said, “I don’t know what Kellyanne did to her deranged loser of a husband, Moonface, but it must have been really bad.” Ten hours later, on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews, Trump was still enraged, ranting about us for nearly two minutes in front of the media.
What triggered his ire was a 60-second online ad we released Monday. Entitled “Mourning in America,” it’s an inversion of President Ronald Reagan’s famous 1984 reelection campaign ad, “Morning in America.” Reagan’s ad took credit for the resurgence of the American economy. Our ad puts the blame for the government’s failures in responding to covid-19 right where it belongs — on Trump. He dithered for 10 weeks, from January to mid-March, misleading the public about the severity of the crisis, pretending that the virus would never take hold here. History will record that each day of delay cost American lives.
It may strike you as deranged that a sitting president facing a pandemic has busied himself attacking journalists, political opponents, television news hosts and late-night comedians — even deriding a former president who merely called for empathy and unity in response to the virus. It may strike you as nuts that Trump bragged about his supposed Facebook ranking in the middle of a virus task-force briefing, asserted that millions would have died were it not for him, boasted that “the ‘Ratings’ of my News Conferences etc.” were driving “the Lamestream Media . . . CRAZY,” and floated bogus miracle cures, including suggesting that scientists consider injecting humans with household disinfectants such as Clorox.
If so, you’re not alone. Tens of thousands of mental-health professionals, testing the bounds of professional ethics, have warned for years about Trump’s unfitness for office.
Some people listened; many, including myself, did not, until it was too late.
Now, it’s more obvious than ever. Trump’s narcissism deadens any ability he might otherwise have had to carry out the duties of a president in the manner the Constitution requires. He’s so self-obsessed, he can only act for himself, not for the nation. It’s why he was impeached, and why he should have been removed from office.
And it’s why he reacts with such rage. He fears the truth. He fears being revealed for what he truly is. Extreme narcissists exaggerate their achievements and talents, and so Trump has spent his life building up a false image of himself — not just for others, but for himself, to protect his deeply fragile ego. He lies endlessly, not just in the way sociopaths do, which is to con others, but also to delude himself. He claims to be a “genius,” even though he apparently can’t spell, can’t punctuate, can’t do math and lacks geographic literacy, and even though his own appointees have privately called him a “moron,” an “idiot,” a “dope,” and “dumb.” Now, God help us, he fancies himself an expert in virology and infectious diseases.
But the jig is up. When Trump lied and claimed credit for “the greatest economy in the history of our country,” even though it wasn’t, and even though he inherited a strong economy, and goosed it up with trillions of dollars in debt, it didn’t matter to most people. The economy was good — so what? The debt? That won’t come due for decades.
When he tried to obstruct the Mueller investigation, that didn’t move them either. The rule of law and the violation of a presidential oath are abstractions; the Dow Jones industrial average and the unemployment rate aren’t. And when he used his presidential power to try to extort a foreign ally into smearing a political opponent, not enough cared then, either.
Now it all matters, painfully and concretely. Trump’s lying, his self-regard, his self-soothing, his lack of empathy, his narcissistic rage, his contempt for norms, rules, laws, facts and simple truths — have all come home to roost. Now he sees his poll numbers fall accordingly, and lashes out with ever-increasing anger. For deep in his psyche he knows the truth. Because he fears being revealed as a fake or deranged, he’ll call others fake or deranged. Because he fears losing, he’ll call them losers instead.
Well written. The fake, deranged loser calls others fake, deranged, and losers.
Hey I KNOW what I said. And said again. You made a false charge, try and prove what you falsely claimed.
HINT:. You can't.
And nobody reads nor believes your FAKE NEWS WP and Conway Spam.
But what's a waterboy to do.
ROFLMFAO !!!
ROFL, ROFL, ROFL
I called your bluff, didn't I?
YOU are the liar.
The craven liar.
I am not even going to bother to look for them, but if you want us to see what you REALLY said, and prove to everyone that you are not a craven liar, YOU will provide them.
FROM EARLIER TODAY BUT WORTH REPEATING
Why Trump Should Worry About His Approval Rate
May 6, 2020 at 8:32 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 77 Comments
Jonathan Bernstein:
“Trump’s net approval is -8.1 (that is, 43.2 approval minus 51.3 disapproval). The three recent presidents who were easily re-elected had solid positive net approval at this point: Richard Nixon at +17.7, Bill Clinton at +16.1 and Ronald Reagan at +15.3. The two most recent presidents both won somewhat narrowly; at this point, Barack Obama was at +1.7 and George W. Bush at -0.3. And then there were the two most recent losers. George H.W. Bush had fallen from a then-record approval down to -6.8. Jimmy Carter was only at -2.7, but that was probably just a quirk of the data, since he had recently been at -10 and would soon sink even further underwater.
“Both Carter and the first Bush dipped lower by Election Day; the three easy winners all improved further. That suggests there’s still time for Trump to either rise to a level where he could win re-election — or to plunge low enough for former Vice President Joe Biden to win something around 400 electoral votes.
“The truth is that if voters react to the current recession the way they typically do in an election year, Trump will lose, and lose badly.”

EAT SHIT LOSER
YOU CAN'T EVEN BACK UP WHAT YOU POST. WE BOTH KNOW IT WAS A LIE.

JAMES'S FUCKING DADDY
you are kicking James ass lick it is a soccer ball.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Joe Biden’s advantage over President Donald Trump in popular support has eroded in recent weeks as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee struggles for visibility with voters during the coronavirus pandemic, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Tuesday.
The opinion poll conducted on Monday and Tuesday found that 43% of registered voters said they would support Biden in the Nov. 3 presidential election, while 41% said they would back Trump. That makes the contest essentially a toss-up, as the results are within the poll’s credibility interval.
Biden led by 6 percentage points in a similar poll last week and by 8 points in a poll that ran April 15 to 21.

it was a rhetorical question BWAA.
you fucking imbecile.
oh, and that imperial college "model" that fauci and birx bought into?
turns out it was complete bullshit, and the modeler has resigned in disgrace.
we stare into the abyss of global economic meltdown because of a cadre of "elites" whose ego's have outrun their intellect. these fuckers fail us on every topic every single time, yet we continue to defer to them.
Three main relevant groups have vied lately to influence pandemic policy: public, elites, and experts. Initially, public health experts dominated, even when they screwed up. But then they seemed to publicly assume that it was too late to contain Covid19, and the only viable option was “flattening the curve” to get herd immunity. At that point, elite opinion worldwide objected loudly, and insisted that containment be the official policy.
Experts and the public demurred, and elites got their way. Everywhere in the world, all at once, strong lockdown polices began, and containment became the official goal. But elites did not insist on any particular standard containment policy. Such as, for example, the packages of polices that seem to have worked initially in Wuhan or South Korea. Instead elites seemed satisfied to let the politicians and experts in each jurisdiction craft their own policy packages, as long as they seemed “strong”, involving much public sacrifice. And they allowed official public messages suggesting that relatively short durations would be sufficient.
A few months later, those duration periods are expiring. And in the different jurisdictions, the diverse policies now sit next to quite diverse outcomes. In some places, infections are low or declining, while in others they are flat or increasing. The public is feeling the accumulated pain, and itching to break out. If these flat or increasing trends continue, containment will fail, and lockdown harms will soon exceed plausible future gains from preventing medical system overload.
Elites are now loudly and consistently saying that this is not time to open; we must stay closed and try harder to contain. When confronted with the discouraging recent trends, elites respond with a blizzard of explanations for local failures, and point to a cacophony of prophets with plans and white papers declaring obvious solutions.
But, and this is the key point, they mostly point to different explanations and solutions.
[...]
Winning at politics requires more than just prestige, good ideas, and passion. It also requires compromise, to produce sufficient unity. At this game, elites are now failing, while the public is not.

Trump vows complete end of Obamacare law despite pandemic
By
Devlin Barrett
May 6, 2020 at 6:33 p.m. EDT
President Trump said Wednesday he will continue trying to toss out all of the Affordable Care Act, even as some in his administration, including Attorney General William P. Barr, have privately argued parts of the law should be preserved amid a pandemic.
“We want to terminate health care under Obamacare,” Trump told reporters Wednesday, the last day for his administration to change its position in a Supreme Court case challenging the law. “Obamacare, we run it really well. . . . But running it great, it’s still lousy health care.”
U.S. Curve Is Not Bending
May 7, 2020 at 7:42 am EDT
Axios:
“America’s daily rate climbed faster and higher (due in part to its larger population), but appears to have peaked at around 30,000 new cases per day in the first week of April.
“But rather than falling, the rate stagnated. Outside of New York (which has bent its curve) the rate is actually continuing to climb.
“The U.S. continues to record several times as many new cases each day as any other country has at any time during the pandemic.”
Trump is leading us to disaster with his OPEN UP THE COUNTRY propaganda. His selfish desire for self aggrandizement and reelection at all costs is becoming more and more criminal.
The shut down was to flatten the curve. Yes? We've done that. Yes? It concerns me that James thinks letting people back into their jobs do they can feed their families and keep their homes is criminal propaganda.
The two 9:40PM's above are a very good read.
Maybe balls better read 7:43AM above more carefully.
Your post is false. All this isolating has indeed flattened the curve.
And returning to a job to feed one's family is hardly criminal.
