Weekend Open Thread

By a Thread Photograph by Kieron Nelson, National Geographic Your Shot In northern Pakistan’s Hunza region, travelers cross what’s often called the most dangerous bridge in the world: the Hussaini Hanging Bridge, which looks almost as unforgiving as the landscape around it. “[The bridge] is extremely old and very narrow,” photographer Kieron Nelson writes. “Situated high above [Borit Lake], it is missing many of the original wooden planks.”

In northern Pakistan’s Hunza region, travelers cross what’s often called the most dangerous bridge in the world: the Hussaini Hanging Bridge, which looks almost as unforgiving as the landscape around it. “[The bridge] is extremely old and very narrow,” photographer Kieron Nelson writes. “Situated high above [Borit Lake], it is missing many of the original wooden planks.”

So, here’s the best email I’ve read all week;

COMES NOW PLAINTIFF in pro per requesting as is my right that the Court schedule the Summary Judgment Motion regarding the Cause of Action in the First Amended Complaint regarding Negligence per se.

I have attempted to use the internet system to schedule hearings before you but was told by your clerk that a party who does not use a proxy to present the parties case may not use that system; only the proxies of parties may do so. In the past when I attempted to contact your clerk I have been unsuccessful. Due Process of Law requires that my petitions and motions be heard. Therefore, please instruct your clerk to schedule the Summary Judgment Motion immediately.

What in the wide wide world of sports is the PLAINTIFF saying? I ain’t no lawyer you know.

A Proud Infidel®™

Just out of curiosity, did *SLUUURRP!*41 QuEeFeRs wear his purple suit to court on Monday when he showed up to be BernASS’s lapdog?

Reb

Bernasty wore the TRIDENT… Dallas was escorted the hell out of court.His interpreter in POSER RAP…

Flagwaver

So, he wants the judge to recuse herself because she ruled against him?

Silentium Est Aureum

That seems to have been a major tactic of his in all the time I’ve been following this saga. Too bad for him being a petulant child gets old and the adults will give him a legal spanking.

Reb

Jonn, ladies and gents…I’m back after going undercover as DALLASSCLOWNS NEW LOVE INTEREST. I have so much bullshit, crying, pity party, I love you, opps, just puked..pictures since April. Only two people knew what I was doing. My crew are my sin and daughter who helped in getting the bastard to open up with his real deal poser ass. Dallas fell in love with a old Reb pictures hard. Dancing with the Golden Gate behind me..EWWW, him touching me gag bag PLEASE!
After the Friday verdict I was so thrilled (outed myself to our Navy Seal who said my evidence was Priceless I did a no no. Hiked alone without a partner. Yup, slipped and fell. Son found me via my boot prints (size 5 women’s first responders and I weigh under a buck) before the rangers. Yes, I carried emergency pack and waited.
Going to pre-op Tue and surgery on Wed. Jonn if you want all emails I’ll forward everything.
ASAMARINE..thanks for having my back about the widow blog, yeah it was me, but working undercover, I had to be careful not to forward anything to anyone. That’s how boo boos are made.
Enjoy your weekend and I hope Jonn writes a story…oh in 1979 Rickie Lee Jones wrote CHUCKIES IN LOVE…she rewrote it Dallas’s in Love….lmao and in pain…

A Proud Infidel®™

DallASS and BernASS sure like to let others know where they live, has anyone ever sent them say, a toaster to play with while they’re in the bathtub? I’ll even pitch in with an extension cord for it!!

Ditto. Wow! Look at those mountains!

I know there are places in Central Asia where that asinine crap to the south has never come. Some day, maybe it will be possible to visit them.

Frankie Cee "In the clear"

I have many friends who have “humped” those mountains, battling the heights, the elements, and the Muslims who live in them. They’ve told me stories about all three that make me wonder how anyone can live there.

Ex-PH2

Many, many generations have adapted to the heights, the elements and being dumb enough to follow muslims.

The Time/CNN story is why I no longer watch lamestream media. They will lie their asses off on purpose for their own agenda. That is not what freedom of the press is about.

I keep thinking that he really has too much money for his own good. Selling out his own people to the Nazis and now selling his own soul to get scum elected to office and stir up trouble. What a maroon!

68W58

Good on Bernath wearing a bike helmet. I mean, barn door, horse etc. WRT brain damage, but still it might prevent his cocoanut from messing up the state’s pavement in the event of a crash.

B Woodman

“cocoanut”. I see what you did there. hehe.

Silentium Est Aureum

What in the ever loving fuck did I just read?

ChipNASA

aka, Dafaq??

So he went to a government facility, dropped an unmarked package and just left.
He’s lucky they didn’t arrest him for creating a public threat.

Ex-PH2

I think there is now a trespass order against him at the airport.

Silentium Est Aureum

A fact for which pilots and cornfields everywhere are grateful, to say nothing of dogs with bald paws where they were once duct taped.

Hack Stone

As is a no trespass order against 200 yards from Sisters Airport.

Dropping off a unaddressed package and swear to Buddha that’s BERNASTY… THE LAW BE COMETH WITH THE ASSCLOWN. Its a FELONY

Bernath stinks so bad I can smell him through the screen.

UpNorth

This place really needs a “Like” button.

Frankie Cee "In the clear"

The steady stream of filings and attempted filings by his has been funny, but the best piece of e-mail yet was one that I think was formed by the Judge. That one really lays it out in common sense, plain English.

35 anniversary of “Stripes” if you can believe it. Folks at Fort Knox put on a show, recreating the graduation scene.
Boom shakalaka!

I’ll have to watch the remake at home. The company server is allowing the original video, but not the remake. Tsk.

Eden

Here’s the direct link to the live remake:

https://www.facebook.com/FortKnoxKY/videos/10153623229297231/

Trouble is, as a well-trained honor guard, they couldn’t help but get some of it “wrong”, i.e. the screwed-up drill timing of the original, but they did a great job recreating it otherwise.

Well for my money I hope you all have an awesome weekend doing whatever makes you happy, I intend to do a little sailing and consume adult beverages…and barbecue some beef at some point….

And I’m not unhappy to see that some of the whack a doodles are getting their just rewards at the moment….it’s almost as if Karma had a hand in directing these outcomes….

Frankie Cee "In the clear"

having thought about it for ahwile, I decided to leave several bait comments on a few Weekend Open Threads, knowing that there would be someone dumb enough to pick them up and run with them.
Yep, sure enough, I saw them copied and pasted into a court filing, claiming that I had been in a certain area of the country, and then this person chose to embellish them by claiming that I had a suspended driver’s license, and further that I was hauling goods for someone else with no authority to haul commercially. This same person has sworn, claiming to know of my travel habits, when in fact he barely knows his own name, and damned sure doesn’t know where I am at at any given time. He has even sworn that I am a felon, a totally untrue statement, that is further proven untrue by licensing that I carry. Y’all probably wouldn’t know who would do such stupid shit as that, would you?

Ex-PH2

No idea. Is it someone named Johnson?

Hondo

Or maybe named “A. Dumass”?

I’m again in a curious mood. What is the dumbest thing a non-GI government employee ever said to you?
I’ll start. I got chosen for a home visit by the US Census, the agent asked if I had any children, I said yes. The agent asked if they had children, I said no. The agent asked if I had any grandchildren.

sj

In May at the Mexican border CBP asked my wife if she was carrying any cocaine.

Graybeard

Script readers. Gotta love ’em.

OAE CPO USN Ret

Coming back into the US from a overseas TAD, the customs agent asked me my purpose for visiting the US.

nbcguy54ACTUAL

Flying into LAX a few months after 9/11. Had a layover so went out for a smoke. Coming back through security, showed Army ID, went through the metal detector. No problems. Mr. TSA steps up and in a low voice asks if I’m carrying any weapons. I look him square in the eye and say “I don’t know. Am I?” and walk off.

Given the airport and the timeframe, I thought that was quite incredulous. ..

Ex-PH2

Umpteenth again! Always glad to be umpteenth! Umpteenth simply cannot be beaten!

Here’s a simple way for you to have turtle cheesecake:

Go to the store. Buy the frozen cheesecake. Let it thaw. Pour warm caramel sauce over it, top with chopped nuts and mini chocolate chips. Eat very slowly, one bite at a time. Have a good book handy.

I think DB’s picture needs to be beside the dictionary entry “brain damage – self inflicted.”

“Pathetic” could also use an illustration.

Frankie Cee "In the clear"

That handwritten, report describing him dropping off the unmarked package, really doesn’t know the description of the word “Gentleman”.

Hondo

This just in: per the State Bar of California, Daniel A. Bernath is still Not Eligible to Practice Law!

If anyone is interested, the reason why may be found here.

Let’s just say that being “Not Eligible to Practice Law” doesn’t appear to have been a voluntary decision on Danni-boi’s part.

Moreover, reputedly that’s not the only court that has, shall we say, a less than stellar opinion of the individual.

Fastjack

That last link of yours needs fixing. Yours is [ http://valorguardians.com/blog/valorguardians.com/blog/?p=66785 ], and as such, it’s 404’ing.

Given the example of his wet-dream drivel filing above, “less than stellar” is far above what he deserves.

Well… My Mom’s CT scan on Wednesday came back today as no cancer visible. She has officially beaten breast cancer twice in the last twenty-one years. In that time, it has cost her a breast, a thyroid, and parts of her sternum and ribs. But, she is still here and still kicking ass. So today is a pretty good day

Same deal for the 3 PM old farts gang that would gather at the Skyline Café in Powell, WY. Brenda, the waitress, would always ask the old guys whether they wanted a male of female maple bar to go along with their coffee.

Brenda was a good waitress.

Bacon. We are eating bacon. Yum.

This “new” stuff they are calling “all natural” is mighty good stuff. Reminds me of what we used to get as kids before they started putting in all the unpronounceable additives and other things I’d really rather not consume.

Gotta go. Need. More. Bacon.

2/17 Air Cav

Bacon, you say? Hmmm. Here’s a very short video about bacon. You probably have seenm it before. If so, please don’t give away the punch line for those who haven’t seen it. It’s remarkable for its simplicity and staying power.

Mmmm, Bacon. That means it’s time for a farm report.

At the recently completed county fair back in West Hog Flats, Indiana, (Twist knows where this is) the 4-H Reserve Grand Champion barrow was purchased at $17 a pound for the 278 pound animal for a total of $4,726.00.

“Due Process of Law requires that my petitions and motions be heard.” Yeah, except that there are procedures that must be adhered to for the proper filing of petitions and motions, not to mention time limitations. That’s a really good reason to obtain competent legal counsel. Whoever this guy is, he has an idiot for a client.

Richard

And his client has an idiot for a lawyer. Something about DRC or circles or something.

UpNorth

This kid had an idiot for a client. http://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2016/07/teen_who_represented_himself_a.html
30 minutes for a jury to find him guilty of Felony Murder, 3 counts of armed robbery and CCW and a Felony Firearms charge. 30 minutes was just enough time for the jury to file out of the courtroom, go into their room, elect a foreman and tell the bailiff they had a verdict.
So, Mitchel Savickas is going to spend the rest of his life in prison. He might even get life without parole, which is mandatory, but 25 or 30 years for the armed robberies, just to make sure he stays put if some dumbass judge or parole board decides to get him out, sometime down the road.
Take a look at pictures of Mr. Savickas in the article, he’s going to just love prison.

Roger in Republic

Perhaps on of our lawyer types might be able to tell us if a nitwit represents himself and loses, can he appeal on the grounds of incompetent representation? I seem to remember a judge informing a defendant that acting as his own lawyer would result in the loss of his appeal rights.

Reb

Correct except in Small Claims…

2/17 Air Cav

“[C]an he appeal on the grounds of incompetent representation?” No. An appeal based upon ineffective assistance of counsel by a knucklehead who represented himself at trial is not available. The stupid act of representing oneself at criminal trial, however, does not automatically extinguish or nullify all appeal rights.

Ex-PH2

Well, but if he’s ordered to have representation if he chooses to continue to follow his chosen path, what then?

Old Danni-boi still at it, filing bogus briefs. The law school must be so damn proud that one of their alumni has gotten his ass kicked in court by defendants and judges so many times that he’s Hamilton Burger’s bytch!

Anyone want to guess how much money Bernasty has paid out in legal fees and money owed due to his legal misadventures?

Hey, CoCkSlUuUuRrRrPeTh41… still blowing truckers and hobos at the local Pacific Pride? Keep on giving Danni-boi ideas on getting back at people and sometime soon both of you will be enjoying cockmeat sammiches and tubesteak at the local poundyouintheass jail.

There’s a pair of handcuffs waiting for those two ballsack workers… it’s a matter of time before they’re wearing them.

Akpual

I don’t think Burger ever won. Howinhell did he and Trang keep their jobs?

2/17 Air Cav

Akpual. First, Hamilton Burger was a prosecutor, so he didn’t have to win. He got paid the same, c/o the taxpayers, whether he won or lost. (He should have taken a job with the VA. He would have rec’d bonuses for losing!) Second, we never heard about Burger’s other cases. Maybe he only lost to Perry, Paul, and Della.

Ex-PH2

Hamilton Burger did win one case against Perry Mason.

Akpual

Geez, I did not know that. Ya learn something new every day.

2/17 Air Cav

Actually, he “won” more than one but–and here’s the Big Butt–the client was later cleared. So, I guess you could say that Mason lost a couple of cases, temporarily. If so, then Burger lost all of his against Mason permanently.

Hondo

Wikipedia says two: episodes 1-38 and 7-4 (presumably, the 38th episode of season 1 and the 4th episode of season 7). However, that’s per Wikipedia – which isn’t always the most reliable source. And in this case, I can’t check their primary sources without buying a book I don’t want. So take the info above FWIW.

Silentium Est Aureum

He won once. The mail the network received over that episode was orders of magnitude greater than all the letters the network got whining that he never won a case.

In any event, it’s one more case than Danny-boi has ever won.

Devtun

Got a hard dose of reality about military retirement Delta Dental plan. Got some work done due to periodontal disease & will need bone grafts & implants. The recent bill was $1845, and I had to pay out of pocket $1717 – WTF. Read the policy carefully, and there is quite a bit of “plan does not cover” language. Really, outside annual routine cleanings there is just tons of out of pocket expenses military retirees have to swallow. Just garbage. Military retirement “benefits” – ok whatever man.

Green Thumb

Delta Dental is terrible plus no one takes it.

Ex-PH2

What about the MetLife version?

HMC Ret

The Mrs. and I pay more to Delta Dental than to TRICARE. Only reason I keep Delta is for Mrs. HMC’s peace of mind. I don’t think it’s worth the money.

Dear Danny,

Word of advice, if I may. Leaving packages with no return addresa, name, etc., does not endear you to security types.

Matter of fact, it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if you are put under the scrutiny of local or state LEOs, not to mention the friendly folks at DHS. Better check and see if you’re actually allowed on the plane before you buy that next ticket, dude.

Shots fired in Baltimore. BLM in 5, 4, 3….

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/07/15/man-dead-after-exchanging-gunfire-with-baltimore-police-officers.html

“While the officers were in plainclothes, they also were wearing outer tactical vests that were marked “police” on the front and back, he said.”

That’s some mighty fine reportinating, there, Zeke.

Ex-PH2

So, was that the Day of Rage for Baltimore?

2/17 Air Cav

No, it was yesterday. Although the FBI had just warned Baltimore Police that the drug gang Black Guerrilla Family had discussed attacking officers, the 33-year old black male who was firing a rifle when he was dropped by police was not a BGF member and the police commish says the timing of the warning was coincidence. The dead bad guy was earlier reported to be shouting that he hates (make that hated) police but that may have been bullshit. He was a criminal. He was committing a crime. He is dead. Happy ending.

HMC Ret

Into the realm of YGBSM, a Memphis newspaper, The Commercial Appeal, has apologized for their front page banner which stated ‘Gunman Targeted Whites’. Apparently people of color and others who are easily offended by facts are protesting. They feel the headline is offensive because 65% of those living in Memphis are people of color. Perhaps if people of color constituted only, say, 45% of the population, the headline would be acceptable. I’m thinking there would be no public outcry if a white person had shot 12 black police officers and the headline stated ‘Gunman Targeted Blacks’. Take your meds and read at your own peril.

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/07/15/memphis-newspaper-apologizes-for-accurate-yet-racist-headline.html

Green Thumb

Try about 80%.

HMC Ret

Newspaper article states 65%. Going by their numbers. I was stationed there (Millington) 77-81 and people of color were in the majority in Memphis proper if memory serves. Millington, if I recall, was predominately white with a large population of AD and retired military. It was my favorite duty station. Not my favorite tour of duty (Grunt Corpsman) but favorite duty station. There is/was a difference in my mind.

2/17 Air Cav

That is insane, HMC Ret. Absolutely insane.

Hondo

Are you really surprised at the local Memphis print press pandering to what few paying customers they have left, 2/17?

2/17 Air Cav

That’s just it. Those who found the headline truth to be so offensive and insensitive most likely don’t buy the paper. It’s blackmail (pun intended) when a newspaper retreats from truth or run the risk of having their advertisers boycotted and subject to idiotic and groundless accusations. But that’s life in these United States in 2016, I guess.

Hondo

Given the demographics of Memphis, I’d guess the headline likely offended a large portion of what little paying readership they have left. (Being the truth, it shouldn’t have – but that’s a different issue altogether.)

When there’s money involved, sometimes people do incredibly stupid, cowardly, and/or unethical things.

On another noted, Tammy ‘Whinette’ Duckworth is attacking Mark Kirk, her venerable opponent, for embellishing his service records.

I thought that was all settled some years ago when the SV doorkickers called him out on that.

Is it time to call her out and tell Her Holier-than-thou-ness to shut up and find something real to discuss?

Green Thumb

She is an idiot.

When she was “grilling” the FBI guy over the emails, she kept talking about her helping veterans issues and some unrelated veteran’s bill she was working to push through. Nothing to do with the reason why she was there. She also looked hungover as hell. Classy.

I respect her service, but she is a complete idiot. I also told her this more or less several years ago.

She did not take it well but, hey, what are you going to do? The answer: Nothing!

What this moron needs to do is stop whining, get off the pedestal because no one is looking up, and do her fucking job for her constituents.

WHAT-DA…?

Here’s a crowd of Pok-e-zombies going for a rare critter in some park. Like my Dad would say to types like that “Here’s a nickel, GET A LIFE!”

Well, according to what some reporters have found, some of the Pokeehunters are getting out of their basements for the first time in years and actually walking around in daylight.

It must feel strange to them – like a foreign planet.

It *is* a foreign planet, overlaid on a Google map on their phones.

So was that picture of scruffalupagus taken at the Ft Myers courthouse?

At the airport service desk.

Ex, you’re serious, I think? Airport?

Why would anyone drop off an unmarked package at an airport? And, it wasn’t dealt with by a bomb squad?

Ex-PH2

It was an unaddressed envelope. Now you know how to make yourself persona non grata at places like that. I am quite sure the full story will be told before long. Wait for it.

Am curious as well. Dropping an unmarked package at a airport? And nothing was done? Guess there is more to the story?

Ten Bears

Much more.

How are US-based criminal organizations dismantled? This isn’t a trick question. My answer is through meticulous and deep investigations, wiretaps, infiltrations, informants, and deals with those caught. These strategies and techniques allowed the KKK, the Mafia, and some major street drug importers and distributors, as well as various and sundry other illicit organizations, to be slowed or stopped.

The US has, for years now, tried the same approach to Islamo-terrorism with no lasting success. The oBaMa regime regards terrorism as crime and sees terrorists as criminals, misguided lambs who lost their way. Overseas, drones splat this terrorist leader or that one and it’s heralded as a win by the regime. A week or two later, scores are killed by a retaliatory suicide bomber. And this routine or some variation of it becomes, well, routine. The error, the assurance of overall failure of this strategy, is rooted in the belief that these Islamo-terrorist organizations can be dismantled piecemeal. They can’t. It’s a losing, deadly game of whack-a-mole. Hammer one and another pops up. Then there are the special terrorists who have succeeded in Europe and the US without benefit of any organizational structure at all. These, the so-called lone wolves, are sometimes caught in the prep stage of their planned deed by advertising themselves in some fashion on social media, which the FBI monitors. There is no structured organization to dismantle, no capi tuti capi, no grand wizard, and no drug lord. Individuals make the personal decision to kill innocents in furtherance of their religion. They can’t be caught if they don’t screw up and will get wiser as more and more of them refrain from social media statements and YouTube dissertations and just do what they intend without fanfare. I don’t have the answers. Unfortunately, neither does US leadership.

“Two of the founders of the Black Lives Matter network, Patrisse Cullors and Alicia Garza, are queer black women.” (Source: BlackLivesMatter.com) Either the third founder, also a woman, isn’t a black queer or she remains closeted. And make no mistake about it, the BlackLivesMatters group is largely about black LGBT. BLM is not about peaceful protests or effecting change through the ballot box. They see these things as playing whitey’s game. Thus, when the DNC endorsed BLM, guess what happened? BLM told the DNC to fuck off. Nevertheless, Wide Load and the idiot progressive/commie jerks can’t fawn enough over BLM. And if they stay true to the LGBT agenda, they will fade as more blacks, especially males, learn what BLM is really about.

68W58. Yep. The commie/marxists crud is evident in the BLM website content. I disagree with the author of that article regarding BLM’s outreach to Wide Load and Bernie, certainly neither of whom, especially Wide Load, is a revolutionary. Both may be useful idiots but BLM rebuffed the DNC. The construct of BLM as being a grassroots, black community aiming for anything remotely resembling fair and equal treatment for blacks is the media’s creation. BLM does not pretend to be that at all. BLM wants change–immediate change–w/o working through institutions. It is queer. It is commie. It is revolutionary. It is anathema to typical Americans of all races BUT the media are hiding all of that. And most people are too lazy or too stupid to have a look-see for themselves.
