There's a motion from Tina Peters …. a detailed timeline explaining how the situation unfolded
Key points:
I guess we will need to find out if DA Rubinstein will not object.
PETERS – “Oh, I didn’t know about the travel prohibition.”
RUBINSTEIN – “OK, I guess you’re free to go then”
What the fuck, if this is what happens. This is why these people REPEATEDLY BREAK THE LAW, and thumb their noses at law enforcement while doing it. There are just no consequences anymore.
Well, one consequence — Peters actually has to travel back to Grand Junction.
Court docket now has:

I guess we will see this afternoon John. There has to be a line drawn somewhere…
Answer is: according to the Colorado Sun:
Sounds like double probation now … and no sanctions for the absent-minded attorney, either.
.
We have a million problems at present. So I think it makes sense to step back and look at what really matters because otherwise we get bogged down in reacting to a different problem every week and nothing improves.
In my opinion the priority of the problems we face is:
Such a moving tribute from the newspaper of record in MAGA world …
Ivana Trump, ex-wife of former President Trump, dead at 73 (nypost.com)
I wonder if Sir Elton John will write a song about her.
I’m surprised that Ruppert Murdoch’s newspaper mentioned the rape allegation she made against the Donald followed by her recantation.
Sir Elton John has retired just this pass week.
DavidThi808 … I’d agree it is worth stepping back. I’d agree with what you are saying — but would probably phrase it a bit differently.
BBC Future had an article awhile ago that stuck with me. I went back to find it: Agents of Doom: Who is creating the apocalypse and why
Luke Kemp
As one Daily Kos commenter has taken to saying over and over …. the dirty hippies got it right:
That's a really good list – good points.
heard another apocalyptic scenario as I was driving home … CRISPR and the bio-modification it already could produce. Blake Crouch has a new book out, as described on Science Friday:
Blake joins Ira to discuss a future where gene editing is used to hack drugs, people, and animals, and how far off we are from the book’s climate disaster surveillance state."
Pretty scary when an author says he doesn't really think he's writing science fiction any more, and that his science consultant is saying "you have to go further with the threat" or something like that.
AND before I go away … I was pointed to a story
How did I miss it when it came out? I was focused on a small medical procedure, apparently, not paying attention to news OR the Daily Beast.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/lauren-boebert-denies-husband-jayson-flashed-his-penis-at-colorado-bowling-alley-book
Jayson's arrest report speaks for itself. Five witnesses, two adult males including the owner of the bowling alley, three teenaged girls including (then) Lauren Opal Roberts. Jayson Boebert definitely flashed his junk, was combative and drunk, and should have had the penalty of being listed as a sex offender.
– thanks to Anne Landman for original research.
HT and a shout out to Anne, "keeping 'em honest" Landman. Anne has been calling it like IT IS, for some time. Western Colorado owes her a ginormous debt of gratitude.
Thanks, Anne. And you, Kdub, for pointing it out.
