Daily Beast: Trump in Denial Over Disastrous Latino-Bashing MSG Rally
> Donald Trump insists his Latino-trashing rally in New York—which sparked growing outrage, even among Republicans—went “great” and was “filled up.”

“Last night, we had a great rally at Madison Square Garden,” Trump told faith leaders Monday in Powder Springs, Georgia, where one attendee praised the GOP presidential nominee for turning the venue into “MAGA Square Garden.”

Raw Story: MAGA pastor who wants to end female voting rights compares women to pigs
> Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon is a rising star in the GOP, and recently had some interesting things to say about American women. First, he claimed they’re far too pampered: “Pigs with gold nose rings.” Then he claimed it’s time to overturn the 19th Amendment and revoke women’s right to vote because that’s “the Christian thing to do.”
> Finally, to top it all off, the GOP’s top Christian guru argued women who claim rape but can’t prove it should be publicly executed to put an end to the Me Too movement. “If you perjure yourself by bearing false witness accusing somebody else,” the minister told his followers, “whatever the penalty would have been for that person had they been found guilty, then that penalty should fall on your head for falsely accusing them.

Daily Beast: Why This Woman Took a Harris-Walz Sign to Trump’s MSG Rally
> A lone figure stood holding a blue HARRIS WALZ 2024 sign amidst an incoming sea of Trump supporters as the doors opened for the MAGA rally at Madison Square Garden at 2 pm Sunday.

“New Yorker, American woman,” Shannon Curry-Hartmann said of herself.
> It is not the first time she has expressed her convictions. In 2017, she was one of 200,000 at the Women’s March on Washington, and she has participated in occasional protests.

But she had never done anything like standing as a solo sentinel outside Sunday’s rally.

“I just felt like I wanted to go and show a sign,” she said.

She opened her tan jacket to show she was wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with 1973, the year of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision.

Newsweek: Kamala Harris Holds Lead Over Donald Trump in New National Poll
> Preliminary data from the Cooperative Election Study (CES) was released on Monday and shows Harris leading Trump by 4 percentage points among 48,732 likely voters, with 51 percent of those surveyed backing the vice president and 47 percent backing the former president.

The CES is the largest academic U.S. election survey, with a total of 78,247 adults participating. Harris was leading Trump by 51 percent to 46 percent among all adults surveyed and by 52 percent to 46 percent among respondents who said that they already voted or would "definitely" vote.

@Nzall I believe so.
That could be the last straw.
yesterday, by User1865345
> From a political perspective the strategy is pure suicide. The rally will almost certainly alienate more voters who might have voted for Trump and it is hard to imagine it has earned him one single new vote. It was a play to the base when the biggest problem Trump has in this election is breaking through his rock solid ceiling of around 47 percent of the electorate.
yesterday, by User1865345
> That is why Trump’s Sunday rally at Madison Square Garden was, as it turned out, far more ominous than its predecessor. It should chill Americans to the bone. But, I expect it will do more than that. I believe it will mobilize more voters to take action on Nov. 5 to stop the 21st-century fascism of Trump and MAGA.

Vox: Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally showed how racism is the beating heart of election denial
> What drives Donald Trump and his movement’s belief in voter fraud and election denialism?
> research and political theorists (including my colleague Zack Beauchamp) argue, there’s an outright sense of racism and bigotry — the reactionary animus of a conservative white majority that is losing its grip on power, is radicalizing against democracy in a bid to hold on, and leverages voter fraud as a way to explain this change.
> These remarks don’t just echo the far-right “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory; they update the GOP’s stolen election narrative with a new villain. While in 2020 it was “urban” voters who were coded as the primary perpetrators of voter fraud, in 2024 it’s immigrants and noncitizens who are the avatars for fraud and would be blamed for another Trump loss.
> They found that predominantly Black cities were the focal point of right-wing voter fraud discourse in 2020, as opposed to multicultural or majority white cities; that electoral confidence declined the most among “racially resentful whites” after 2020; and that these “racially resentful white Americans” were especially likely to believe in voter fraud now.
> They argue that dynamic exists because these racialized accusations of fraud serve a function for these Americans: They allow them to preserve their sense of superiority over nonwhite Americans and continue to support democracy in theory, while still rejecting electoral outcomes that they don’t agree with. In this way, racialized talk of voter fraud serves a purpose for elites as well.

One does not preclude the other, but I don't know about this particular case. I'll look into it.
Double jeopardy does not include Court martials. You can be court-martialed for the same offense after you serve time in a civilian prison.
stripes.com/branches/army/2024-10-21/…
> There are five victims, according to the Army Office of Special Trial Counsel, which is prosecuting the case. Clarke pleaded not guilty Monday and delayed selecting a court-martial with a jury or only a judge.
> Military Judge Col. Maureen Kohn presided over the arraignment at Fort Cavazos, where Clarke is assigned to the 74th Multi-Role Bridge Company, 62nd Engineer Battalion, 36th Engineer Brigade. His next court hearing is scheduled for Dec. 10.
He has been in pretrial confinement at the Bell County Justice Center since Oct. 3, 2022, the day after the last attack.
So apparently he is being court-martialed and he has been held in a civilian jail since October 2022.
The UCMJ punishes attempted acts the same as if the act succeeded except that the death penalty cannot be applied. So if he's found guilty of the attempted murder, he'll never get out of prison.

Since all of the victims that we know about were soldiers, it's unlikely that Texas will prosecute. But if one of the victims is also a Texas resident, all bets are off.

> A service member who faces trial in civilian criminal court, whether a state court or a foreign court, can also face trial in a court-martial for the same incident, even if he or she were acquitted in the civilian court.

Eastburn family murders
The Eastburn family murders were the murders of Kathryn "Katie" Eastburn and her daughters, Kara and Erin, which occurred in Fayetteville, North Carolina, in May 1985. In 1986, United States Army Sergeant Timothy Hennis was tried and convicted for the three murders. In 1988, Hennis's conviction was overturned on appeal, and he was acquitted the following year. In 2006, the Cumberland County Sherriff's Office obtained DNA evidence linking Hennis to the crime. Despite the Fifth Amendment's Double Jeopardy Clause prohibiting retrials after acquittals, the United States Army was able to initiat...
