  1. Wasn’t a fan of the last episode. Might be worth a second viewing to reevaluate but I won’t be in a rush. Context: I’ve read the book a dozen times.
  2. He is right that there is no reason to use the dating apps from you’ve written about him. At least he is aware of his lack of chances.
  3. Farro reminded the jurors but the jury box was empty? Very confusing that no one noticed that jurors were not in attendance.
  4. Even if most of Trump voters don't care about this trial, Trump has very few voters that he can lose and not impact his chances. It's not like this trial will gain him voters, except with the old guy crowd who pay off hookers. In other words, the trial may gain Trump a few Surly votes.
  5. The cops 100% used too much force. The professor could see that, and she chose to get up on cops who were using too much force. They were wrong but she choose poorly. Even when you're right, there can be consequences. I'm not faulting her for trying to help the situation but the post, that I quoted, seemed to imply that her status as a professor somehow should be taken into account.
  6. The cops are being thugs but she got into the middle of their arrest. It's doubtful that they knew she was a professor and I'm uncertain how her job title would impact their orders.
  7. If a letter or payment is important enough, walk it into a USPS location. Outdoor, standalone drop boxes are targets. And not just with checks. Thieves take everything and most likely discard letters that offer them zero value. for the OP, if you think the theft occurred at a postal box/site, you need to file the complaint with the US postal inspection service. I would be surprised if local cops care or will follow up with letter theft even when it involves money. This situation happened to me, and the bank refunded all of the money, maybe because the thief deposited the check into another bank. Local cops didn't even care that I could tell them the bank account # of the thief. Seemed like an open and shut case to me.
  8. Police need to be more Andy Griffith and less Robo Cop. Not one of them should be armed at this point. Have a nearby vehicle with weapons, in case it's needed. Also tactical gear should not come in Extra Short XXL.
  9. That's strange. None of the 5 blurred photos look like Boebert.
  10. Out of curiosity, would the complexion of the Latino, saying this word, impact your reaction. Some Latinos have dark skin and others lighter. Comedians like Tom Segura and Louis CK are both Latino but look like they’re Irish due to mixed heritage. as a white guy, I stay far far away from any non-African American using the word. Honesty I’m not a fan of hearing anyone use it. If I was at a happy hour with my African American friends or co-workers and it was used more than once, I’m quietly moving away from the conversation. Zero benefit, and potentially harm, in me being there. Ultimately it becomes impossible to universally decide who does and doesn’t get to use the n word.
  11. Hidalgo long tied herself to SJL which probably helped Hidalgo at that time, including in Hidalgo’s last election but there is a price to pay when you pick the losing side.
  12. Would someone pay off an extorter who was completely lying about an incident? It's possible to create a scenario where this would occur but it's far more likely to believe the opposite. I'm not close to the facts of this case, but isn't the entire case going to depend on Cohen's testimony and what Trump knew and arranged? Whether Trump had sex with Daniels just seems like salacious details but almost immaterial. I assume the defense isn't going to disagree that Daniels was paid off by Cohen, who may or may not have acted on Trump's explicit directions. If I'm the prosecutor, I would hate to have Cohen as one of my main witnesses. Sleazy, convicted lawyer who likes to go on TV slamming Trump but previously loved Trump when Trump was paying him. In almost every situation, Cohen has zero credibility.
  13. I used to be a regular palazzo visitor but was never treated well by my casino host. Felt like I would have to beg for comps which I refused to do. Obviously I wasn’t gambling enough to get his attention so I switched to another casino where the host would take care of me.
  14. Had great luck at Caesars craps tables this week that will pay for the next few trips. Kept pressing a hard 8. If only it had hit a 5th time.
  15. The lectern "cost" reimbursed her friend who paid for a girls' trip to Paris. However I doubt that anything comes out of this because I assume it would require a local prosecutor to go after her.
