Where Are They Now?

Big news this last week about two past visitors to Green Eagle's pages.

First, we hear that two members of one of the far right's premier families have been (once again) arrested.  Cheyne Kehoe and his father Kirby, both members of the Christian Identity movement and (of course) violent Aryan supremacists, were held on charges that they were felons in possession of a large quantity of guns.  Cheyne and his brother Chevie have been implicated in a number of murders and other crimes in connection with their plan to establish an Aryan homeland in the northwest.  Chevie, the worst of the lot, is where he belongs, safely ensconced in prison, where he will soon be joined (again) by his brother and father.  Here, if you are interested, is a bit of history of this miserable family.
Chevie in all his glory.

And also, news of Phill Kline, the former attorney general of Kansas, and one of the nation's most vicious persecutors of abortion providers:

"Citing “clear and convincing evidence” of professional misconduct, the Kansas Supreme Court on Friday indefinitely suspended the law license of former Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline.

The disciplinary action that led to Friday’s order arose from Kline’s investigation of abortion clinics while he was attorney general, and from his handling of a grand jury proceeding while Johnson County’s district attorney."

And Kline's response?

"Thomas Condit, a Cincinnati lawyer who represents Kline in the case, said Friday’s action was based on a “cherry picking” of oral and written comments over a period of many years..."

Yeah, cherry picking his comments for crimes.  They left out the things that didn't prove that he was a criminal.  How unfair.

Well, small victories, but at least it's nice to see a couple of long-time right wing jerks get at least a small measure of the consequences they deserve.

Thanks for the link to the Kehoe chronology. I had not heard of them.
If only they were Muslims… then they’d be more well covered by the media.

As a long suffering Klansan I can tell you Kline did much more than what he was dis-barred for. He leaked papers to Fox news from his ad-hoc snooping at abortion clinics, including names of women. His own investigation couldn't find out how Fox got the info. He also decided as AG he should have a driver, hired his nephew with a record of drunk driving to be the states first chauffeur for a sitting AG. Our beloved AG became so unpopular in his own RED state that he is now a professor of law at Liberty University. At least this last item is what he and his supporters deserve, a nut teaching zealots the law.

That song-and show-has nothing to do with people like the Kehoes. Its actually about some rather rebellious but also harmeless boys dealing with crooked lawmakers.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination ...

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go...
