 | | perfidious: GOP cause catching a break, at long last? We shall see: <ATLANTA — A federal appeals court temporarily blocked Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, on Sunday from testifying in the investigation into efforts by President Donald J. Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia. The appeals court instructed a lower court to determine whether Mr. Graham should be exempt from answering certain kinds of questions, given his status as a federal lawmaker.A federal appeals court temporarily blocked Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, on Sunday from having to testify before a special grand jury in Atlanta. The ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit gives a temporary reprieve to Mr. Graham, who has been fighting prosecutors’ efforts to bring him before a special grand jury. After a protracted bout of legal sparring, Mr. Graham, at the end of last week, appeared to have failed in his efforts to remain above the matter and had been expected to testify behind closed doors on Tuesday in a downtown Atlanta courthouse. Mr. Graham has argued, among other things, that he should be exempt from testifying under the U.S. Constitution’s speech and debate clause, which prohibits asking lawmakers about their legitimate legislative functions. The appeals court laid out further steps on Sunday that must be taken before Mr. Graham gives any testimony. First, the court ruled, a Federal District Court must determine whether Mr. Graham is “entitled to a partial quashal or modification of the subpoena to appear before the special purpose grand jury” based on the speech and debate clause issue. After that, the appeals court said, it will take up the issue “for further consideration.” Lawyers for Mr. Graham have said that he was informed by Fulton County prosecutors that he was a witness, not a target, in the case. Even so, prosecutors want Mr. Graham’s testimony for a number of reasons. Among them are two phone calls that he made just after the 2020 election to Brad Raffensperger, Georgia’s secretary of state, in which Mr. Graham inquired about ways to help Mr. Trump by invalidating certain mail-in votes. They also want him to answer other questions about what they have called “the multistate, coordinated efforts to influence the results of the November 2020 election in Georgia and elsewhere.” Prosecutors have said in court documents that they expect Mr. Graham’s testimony “to reveal additional sources of information” related to their investigation.> https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli... |

 | | perfidious: <spammer and liar extraordinaire: <chancho: <20 So my heart began to despair over all my toilsome labor under the sun.>
Despairing about not getting to troll the other posters on the Rogoff page is actually a most unproductive waste of time, Wallace.> That post, which was censored, was not as you falsely portray it, as despair over not being able to troll the rogoff libs. And for <Susan> to support that lie is, I think, shameful and disappointing. The excerpt you quoted was from Ecclesiastes, and the writer was in despair over the meaninglessness of life. He was, perhaps, the first ever existentialist. One of the grievous evils he counted, was how someone can put all of their blood, sweat and tears into their life's work, and then when they are gone, someone else gets a hold of it who doesn't preserve the spirit of it, and thus it is a terrible shame. <Daniel> had a free speech zone here at CG, and wouldn't let the cry babies take it over. But <Daniel> was a strong man. The admins have made it clear to me. I'll paraphrase: "Look, <GW>, we are intolerant of your political and religious views, so we are going to brazenly abuse our authority in the most visible and unfair way conceivable, and we don't care because we have no shame anymore. We are done pretending to be fair and all about free speech. Done. We are pro-sodomy here, anti-American, anti-free speech, and anti-Christian values all the way. You see, <GW>, nearly everyone else has far left views and we like this echo chamber, so we want to censor your posts, because just one noisy dissenter like you is one too many. It's not enough to have almost everyone saying the same thing. No.
We need <everyone> to have the same views, and no one is allowed to speak otherwise."> More projection from le grand maitre, who is now getting a taste of bottom rail on top. |

(Remember the Georgia Senate elections.)> As in, the two races which featured meddling by Der Fuehrer, the losses of which cost the GOP a majority in the Senate? Those the ones y'all are talking about? |

Those days are done with and I propose to disregard his effluvium as far as possible. If he turns a new leaf, I am more'n okay with that. |

<perfidious/chancho> <AJ's> only "offense" was bragging about his chess play and chess analysis. I'm not sure that was ever an offense to begin with? The problem intensitfied when detractors followed him around on every post and mocked him for bragging. Then even worse problems began when detractors began logging untrue "copyright infringement" notices on <AJ's> youtube channel. |

 | | perfidious: <jess....Then even worse problems began when detractors began logging untrue "copyright infringement" notices on <AJ's> youtube channel.> Never knew he had a channel Over There.
Seems to me YouTube could, at the very least, have investigated those accusations to determine whether they had any merit. |

<perfidious>
Yes well that was one of the main problems- <youtube's> "shoot first ask questions later (if we get around to it)" copywrong policy. The notion that <AJ> would be violating someone's copyright with a chess video of all things is laughable. Even if he did I'd be shocked if it were an intentional violation. On Youtube once you are accused, the verdict is defaulted to a violation. It is then up to the uploader to file a complaint, which is never addressed. If it is, it is never in favor of the complainant. |

 | | jessicafischerqueen:
The cg.com members who filed false copyright claims against <AJ> were fully aware that under the "Safe Harbor" Digital Millenium Copryight Agreement the video would automatically be deleted- this mainly to protect youtube (google) from an actual copyright violation, for which youtube could be financially liable. So by repeatedly filing violations against <AJ's> videos, cg.com members could keep a large number of <AJ's> videos off air simply by falsely filling out an online complaint box. |

|
Aug-28-22
 | | perfidious: <jess>, it would be imprudent, to put it mildly, to mess about with copyvio type stuff. If <AJ>--or anyone else--screwed up, seems to me a private warning to cease and desist in most instances should do the trick. The offender keeps it up, they get banned. |

<perfidious> Bit of a miscommunication here, I think? I am speaking only of Google corporation, who owns and runs <youtube>. Since no youtube material can be published at cg.com- only linked- the copyright issue I'm talking about has nothing to do with cg.com. Cg.com could only be held liable for copyright infringement if they published a photo or a video. So if you provide a link to a photo, you are not publishing anything. But if you publish an actual photo, such as a picture of a player on a player page, then cg.com could be held liable for copyright infringement. <AJ's> youtube chess videos were only ever linked at cg.com- none were ever published here. Cg.com had nothing to do with any of this.
The dectractors merely exploited a feature of the DMCA, which again has nothing specifically to do with cg.com- it is a legal agreement that covers all American intellectual properties published online. Google does not send out warnings for copyright infringement. They just delete the material first, then send you a notice that your material has been deleted. It's up to you to get your published material re-published on youtube. Again, Google owns youtube eh? The glitch is that youtube does not care about your deleted material. They never reinstate the material they deleted. Ever. So you can see why this was such a problem for <AJ>. Niether he nor cg.com had any control over google/youtube deleting his youtube chess videos based on false copyright claims levied by cg.com members to google/youtube. Apologies in advance if you already knew all this... |

 | | perfidious: <jess>, that sounds like a lovely star chamber--y'all don't like the bugger, dig their ditch for good and all by knowingly making accusations with no basis in fact, possibly in full knowledge of the consequences. As I mentioned, I had no idea till now that <AJ> had YouTube videos; despite our one-time personal animus, I would not waste time over slagging them. Do not believe I have ever watched any video on chess Over There--music and poker are of far greater interest to me. |

 | | jessicafischerqueen:
Your over there regimen sounds salubrious!
Interestingly, in Canada we save time by spelling "music and poker" as "moker." Initially we spelled it "poomus" but that sounded a little too declasse, even for us... |

 | | chancho: Someone on Twitter astutely noticed the hard right's shift from calling the rioters "tourists" to now mentioning them as a threat to the nation if Trump is indicted. The "Law and Order" Pretzeldent is allowing all this talk of violence. He even wants to be reinstated, madness! |
