OTOH you aren't a Supreme Court justice and one of a cabal of six that are currently going wild setting binding policy for this country (probably for decades) based almost entirely upon political philosophy with only a thin veneer of attempted justification by very strained interpretations of...
They are pretty common. I've gotten more than a few from the Democratic Party or various subparts thereof. I view them as a constant reminder how our political system is built upon piles of cash.
Alito has a lot of wiggle room on this-traditionally flying the flag upside down means that there is dire distress. To do so otherwise is a crime under f the flag code which is federal law. So we have a case here of a Supreme Court Justice knowingly and intentionally violating federal law...
To an extent you make a point but I would contend what will be far more influential to independents (and true GOPers, not the MAGA cultists) is seeing a babbling mentally confused Trump head to head against a Biden who can still drill down deep for twenty minutes on any of a multitude of...
The point he was making (re Johnson) is not the legality of the matter, but the complete hypocrisy Johnson acts with when his purported sense of morality and ethics is supposedly paramount to who he purports to be.
The info was in a deposition taken in his divorce. Could have been leaked by his ex-wife (or just about anybody in the divorce process) and there is at least the possibility that the deposition (or this part of it at least) is part of the public record.
Two things really got to me: (1) the...
The actual fact is only 158,397,441 votes were cast in the 2020 election for anyone-Biden, Trump and all others included. I'm beginning to think that maybe Mr. Lindell is not a credible source.

I have absolute confidence that this Supreme Court's will be able to distinguish between Democratic and GOP corruption and always uphold any conviction of a Democrat.
That's essentially what they did for some of the Chicago 7 that were disruptive in their trial (back in 1969 or 70). I'm sure there are established procedures for this, especially in the post-covid era.
Trump-the guy that reversed decades of bilateral Presidential practice and greenlighted the move of the US Embassy to Jerusalem. Trump was so loved by the current right wing Israeli government that they plastered his picture all over public buses.
To "punish" Biden by voting in Trump is...
Except for the open bottle law I think you are confusing 1950's laws and police practices with the present. I practiced law from the mid-70s until a few years ago and never encountered a public intoxication case (or even heard of one). And IMO open bottle laws fit into the same category as...
When I first heard that story I thought back to Mitt Romney and all the crap he got for putting the family dog in a dog crate on the roof rack of the family station wagon because the car was too full. Nothing happened to his dog, He probably had no intention of cruelty (it was probably a bad...
China and it's mouthpieces are going to have a real tough time persuading me Tik Tok is pure and innocent when China (that paragon of free speech) bans it.
The DA certainly has a multitude of (alleged) victims here especially as compared to the normal rape case. And the witnesses against Weinstein are certainly determined.
This.
BTW my wife and I were watching a movie online a week or so ago and when the Weinstein Companies screen popped up at the beginning she groaned. No matters what happens with this case the best Harvey can hope for is that he gets out of prison before he dies.
That's not a noncompete agreement. I assume you aren't permanently barred from working for a regulated entity but are barred for x months from your employment as a regulator. Otherwise the "regulated" will control the regulators by buying out the personnel bothering them.
I certainly hope...
That's great news. I'm very nervous about Cohen who is a critical witness. Cohen always strikes me as a habitual liar (just like Trump) and I'm positive at least some of the jurors will get the same impression of him. Since the burden of proof is on the prosecution having a case hinge on...
My personal experience has been that I have never had (or been offered) a line of credit that is free, in fact I have noticed a whole lot of hidden/buried costs in the ones I've looked into. OTOH getting a totally free credit card is super simple and passes your heartbeat test. The trick is...
At least here in New England all the grocery stores were closed (by law) on Sundays. Part of our Puritan heritage. You'd have to go out to eat if you didn't have stuff at home. Blue laws of one form or another were very prevalent until roughly 1970, heck we prohibited liquor sales on Sunday...
This happened in Texas unfortunately. Otherwise I would ask why grandpa-who left a loaded pistol in (an apparently unlocked) glove box when a kid is around was not charged.
Possibly disco-Saturday Night Fever was released in 1977 but then again the whole disco thing didn't last more than a couple of years.
Stagflation perhaps?
Wasn't VIetnam-the USA had been heavily involved in it since at least 1965 and it wrapped up in the mid-seventies. Bell bottoms were...
The judge has not yet ruled on Trump's request re his son's graduation as far as I know. The graduation is May 17th. As far as I know the only thing that has happened so far is Trump's rant.
However it is proof of how self centered Trump is-complaining the judge who he has been personally...
Proof that I'm a cheap SOB-I saw this listing and was upset I replaced our broken 20 yo can opener last week-and the replacement will almost certainly outlive me.
I guess in Trumpworld he is entitled to "presidential immunity" before he was elected. I'm sure there was plenty of precedent to cite to support that fantasy.
That's 180 degrees opposite of what I said. And speaking of JFK Jr did you see the picture of the mass gathering of Kennedy offspring in support of Biden on the White House steps? Admittedly there are some people like RFK Jr always infatuated with the religion/politics that is trendy this...
What is your definition of "chunk" and how would the bet be decided? I would gladly take the opposite side. While an extremely small portion of the people I knew from then have since become libertarians or worse, the vast majority remain steadfast. Remember too that there was huge chunk of...
I saw it in upper Maine in an area that has an 81% cloudy history over the last ten years. Had absolutely clear skies-not even a trace of cloud all day long. Temperature near sixty but about six inches of snow/slush on the ground so as the eclipse progressed it got quite clear.
First totality...
Haiti is the west half of an island, the east half of which is the Dominican Republic. The people, original natural resources, colonization history of both countries are essentially the same. While the Dominican Republic has certainly had it's problems it is a paradise compared to Haiti...
If his attorneys are at all competent (and given how badly burned he has been on this case and how it goes to his very core being-his money- I strongly assume he now has the best he can hire on this case) this is IMO very big news. I doubt it was an oversight. It goes to the core issues of...
From my one minute google search the increased Kia/Hyundai thefts began in 2000 and the company recently agreed to a 200 million class action settlement (which I don't think had any EV manufacturers as defendants) The real facts are KIa/Hyundai thefts went up over 1000% between 2020 and 2023...
FelixDeCat: rather than this unfounded theory that because other people driving EVs somehow drives up your insurance rates theory I would suggest your real problem is owning a car that has high insurance rates because of excessively high theft rates provenly caused by a manufacturer's design...
Thanks-I think. I just did the Lexisnexis request for personal info/opt out/etc. They respond by snail mail "within the period allowed by law." Hopefully I didn't make a mistake by making this request-they required every significant bit of data-DOB, SSN, phone, address, etc.
BTW I have the...
