https://www.foxnews.com/politics/wisconsin-judge-orders-election-commission-to-purge-up-to-209k-names-from-rolls-in-battleground-state
“A Wisconsin judge on Monday found the state’s Elections Commission and three of its members in contempt of court and ordered the commission to remove up to 209,000 names from the state’s voter rolls, in a case that could have major implications later this year in a key battleground state.
Saying in his ruling that “time is of the essence,” Judge Paul Malloy said that there is no time to wait for the case to make its way to the Wisconsin Supreme Court and ordered that the state pay $50 a day until it starts removing people from the voter rolls.
Malloy also ordered that the three Democrats on the commission – Ann Jacobs, Julie Glancy and Mark Thomsen – pay $250 a day each. The state Justice Department asked Malloy to stay his order of contempt pending an appeal of his ruling, but the judge denied the request.”
But we will do it “after the election”.
“The commission wanted to wait until after the November 2020 presidential election before it removed anyone because of inaccuracies with a previous round of data identifying voters who had potentially moved”
You gotta love this excuse

Pelosi dodged a question about whether she supported the Iranian protesters during an interview with ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos, suggesting that they were only protesting the Ukrainian civilian flight that was mistakenly shot down by Iranian forces.

“They’re calling out the regime for lying. They’re saying death to Khomeini as well,” Stephanopoulos noted, referring to the protesters.

Vocabulary word of the day, from
https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/sedition-in-real-time/
“It is a wonder of these incendiary times that even as impeachment of a president moves to its ripest phase, trial in the Senate, the acts of sedition that prompted it still go on behind the scenes with no intervention — an epic failure of authority, if there ever was one. And further irony, if ever there was a trial that cried for witnesses, the impeachment case being brought by Mrs. Pelosi is such a hash of fraud, incompetence, and chicanery, that it begs for summary dismissal — so that these seditious caitiffs will not have to answer to the nation.”
‘Caitiff’ a base, despicable person. (Dictionary.com)
more:
“An additional insult to the public interest went down on Friday when FISA court presiding judge James Boasberg picked one Davids Kris, former DOJ National Security Division chief (preceding John Carlin under President Obama), to “assist” in reforming FISA court procedures lately discredited by multiple acts of fraud and seditious abuse. Mr. Kris’s conflicts of interest in this endeavor are so rich and dark that they would embarrass a Gestapo Gruppenführer.”

New Frisco DA:
First, the purges: Comrade Chesa Boudin fires prosecutors for … prosecuting
“Bottom line: Chesa has no use for such prosecutors who prosecute, and the only thing he wants prosecuted is “the system,” the idea of there being laws against crimes. “
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/01/first_the_purges_comrade_chesa_boudin_fires_prosecutors_for__prosecuting_.html
“ Vyshinsky recommended that investigators and judges consider “the wider social perspective” of each individual case in the context of class struggle. As a result, an actual commission of a crime was not required for conviction: people could have been convicted for being perceived as bourgeois (“class responsibility”) or simply if that was considered to be beneficial for the Communist Party, for example in the “educational” role of the judicial system (thus, the importance of show trials, even with completely false).
See, you don’t even have to do something wrong to get fired by San Fran Vyshinsky — just thinking the wrong thing will be sufficient. Which will pretty well put a chill on office cooler conversation for starters, it will also lead to a lot of cover-your-keister and records destruction as minions attempt to stay one step ahead of the ideological enforcers.
Stalin’s society was all about keeping secrets, too, especially ideological secrets. San Francisco will now be the same. That must be some atmosphere they’ve got going in the San Francisco DA’s office right now. Imagine being too afraid to express your thoughts as is no doubt the situation now with Chesa at the helm, that you refuse to say anything.
Now that word is out that prosecuting crooks and targeting gangsters is a firing offense, San Francisco is all set for a great crime wave. Apparently it takes an iron-fisted Stalin or a Chavez to create that much chaos.”

More on “criminal justice”
SMOLLETT [NON] PROSECUTOR FACES TOUGH REELECTION FIGHT
There’s good news and bad news about Kim Foxx, the Cook County state’s attorney who dropped all charges against actor Jussie Smollett after he staged a fake racist/homophobic attack against himself. The good news is that, according to the Washington Post, Foxx is facing vigorous challenges to her reelection. The bad news is that her main challenger agrees with Foxx on criminal justice policy.
Foxx is part of the wave of new ultra-leftist prosecutors who are, in effect, decriminalizing crime. In fact, she was at the vanguard of that movement, which stands for cutting criminals loose without bail, lenient sentences for “non-violent” offenders (broadly defined), non-enforcement of criminal laws deemed insufficiently woke, and making life difficult for police officers.
Thus, it’s heartening to learn that she may be in political difficulty. It’s disheartening, though, to learn that her “decriminalization of crime” policies are not under fire.
Foxx’s opponents in the Democratic primary are all over her for the Smollett case. However, they cast their critique in leftist terms — Foxx’s handling of the case demonstrates that she “caters to the rich and famous.”
Well, yes, that’s part of it — and typical of the left. But Smollett isn’t just rich and famous. He’s a “fourfer” — black, gay, Hollywood, and connected to the Obamas (through Tina Tchen, Michelle Obama’s former chief of staff).
Thus Foxx’s rivals are probably off base when they infer from her treatment of Smollett that she can’t be counted on to prosecute white-collar crime and public corruption. She can be counted on to prosecute such offenses with a vengeance if the alleged offenders fall on the wrong side of the political spectrum and/or identity politics continuum. If they fall on the right side, their chances of skating, or at leniency, will be excellent.
I strongly suspect that the same is true of the candidates who are trying to replace Foxx.
Even so, I hope one of them succeeds. Foxx’s is a scalp worth taking on general principles.
