    So this is the thread for people who watched a shitload of SNL in the 90s, right?

    I'm pretty sure they all are.

    I was just invited to play at Whisper Rock in Scottsdale by one of the members so I'm trying to make that happen in April.  Then again, I may quit altogether as my game during the winter conditions (tight lies) has gone to shit.  I am dying with my short game which is causing me to shoot low 90's versus mid 80's and it's really pissing me off.  What a frustrating game. 

    On tight lies into the grain or on soft turf around the green I go with a putter, hybrid or drop loft (PW or 7iron). And I’m pretty good with a lob wedge. 
     

    It’s nearly impossible to make consistent contact in such conditions unless you’re a tour level player (and even then still probably a crap shoot).

    So I’m also partially to blame for this country going to shit.  

    Yes, this country has gone to shit in the last 3 years.  Totally gone to shit.  How's your 401K doing?  Wait, don't tell me.  I don't really want to know.

    Raucous Clitoris, slaps and goes hard?  

    I love two things in this world.  80's overly-caffeinated second-tier colas because we couldn't afford Coke or Pepsi.  And the vagina.  Unlike Trump though, I don't grab either unless I've  been given consent.  In both cases, by a popping sound.  

    Wait, what were we talking about again?  

    Furious jumping!

    What actually makes me laugh is that there are only two explanations here.  This poster is either really that dumb or he's a full on cultist.  There are no other options.

    Interesting that Trump wasn't targeted in any of these four jurisdictions criminally and two jurisdictions civilly until he announced his run for president, isn't it?

    Not really.

    Is GRUHorn?  I have found the use of "IOLTA," which is afaik a uniquely Texas term describing lawyer trust accounts, to indicate more than a passing familiarity with lawdogdom.

    IOLTA is not uniquely a Texas term.  I actually did some work for the NAIP (National Association of IOLTA Programs) when I practiced in Florida many years ago (although to be fair in FL it's referred to as IOTA).

    That’s what happens with mob justice/partisan lawfare in a rush to convict a political candidate. The thirst for blood supplants any consideration of the victim’s Constitutional rights, let alone whether he/she is guilty, let alone if any crime was actually committed.

    If Nathan Wade and Fani Willis’ conduct and lies in affidavits and interrogatories (civil and criminal), abuse of IOLTAs, and undisclosed trips to the White House as revealed in the past three weeks should have resonated quite loudly, these ignorant and arrogant oafs are political pawns of Biden’s White House and Jeff DeSantis.

    The White House puppet masters are well aware this case is doomed on appeal as a violation of the defendant’s right to petition the government for a redress of grievances. The goal is simply to get media coverage from the indictments, a six-week show trial during the campaign, a conviction by a partisan jury, and the opportunity for pundits to ask out loud if Trump will be watching election returns from jail.

    so is this an instance where the prosecution wanted to levy as many charges as possible and see what sticks?

    Hard to say.  Possibly but more likely they thought the indictment they presented met the legal requirements, and the judge simply disagreed.

    Quote

    would it have not been better to just focus on the low-hanging fruit?

    Again, hard to say.  It all would depend on what they chose to present to the jury.  Having it dismissed before the trial potentially limits the evidence that the prosecutors can present (if, for example, the alleged conduct supporting those charges doesn't relate to the remaining charges), but the jury never hears about those charges and so if the other charges that remain are strong they could convict on those (and then sentencing would be based on the remaining charges).  For sentencing purposes it wouldn't really matter unless the jury or court (whoever is doing the sentencing in GA state court) decides to impose sentences of consecutive jail time versus concurrent.

    Quote

    was this a mistake? oversight? oopsie? how big of a deal is this?

    Again, hard to say on all of this.  I don't know what the remaining charges are and what the potential sentences are for them.  It might be a big nothingburger or it could be significant.

    i didn't realize there was an opportunity to do this before the trial started. thanks for the learnin'

    that wasn't my question, but you do you.

    guess I sorta assumed all the t's had been crossed and i's dotted in this instance considering who the defendant was

    There are lots of opportunities for pretrial motions in both criminal and civil proceedings.  If you watch "Law & Order" the defense lawyer always dramatically hands a blue packet of papers to the prosecutor and says, "motion to dismiss" or "motion to suppress", etc., with an argument that charges should be dismissed for one or another reason (such as an insufficiently detailed indictment or information, or that evidence a confession should be suppressed or excluded).

    So judges can just throw out charges? Then what use is the grand jury?

    Yes.  To indict.

    If the indictment doesn't meet the the law's requirements, the judge can (and should) dismiss it.  Here, that means they'd need to go back to that grand jury (if they haven't already been dismissed) or empanel a new one to issue a new indictment.

    I’m in Barcelona so I can admit to too much wine and tapas when posting. However, my point remains—college athletes would go to Fresno if Fresno was a good program. If Fresno was like a Gonzaga and you got an offer to go Fresno or Oregon State (who is shit in basketball), which are you choosing? Same for Beard at Mississippi. He has a name but that program is shit and has always been shit. I’m not sure if his name alone is enough to get recruits to go there, which is another reason I could see Louisville taking a hard look at him. 

    Humblebrag duly noted.

    Yeah I think that's probably a valid interpretation. Especially now that congress has effectively punted declaring wars. 

    Or, the Supreme Court may just decide "treason" is a dead letter.

    Probably what Twice says but the name of the law firm (Akerman) immediately jumped out at me. At first, I assumed it was talking about The Ackerman, who is a HUGE partner with Chubb. Ackerman is basically their crisis management firm who handles investigations, deep, deep, deep background checks, high risk security situations (guarding against K&R and other shit like that). Then I realized that there's also a law firm that is spelled a little differently so who knows?

    Akerman is what used to be known as Akermen, Senterfitt & Eidson.  I think they were originally based in Orlando, Florida but have grown to be a large national firm.  I interviewed with them when I was in law school and have a couple of former classmate friends who I think are still there.

    Yet there is no mechanism for accountability on something this bad. Like how the fuck does the FCC not need to put out a statement correcting a public official who intentionally lies like this over public airwaves. I get that inaccuracies and whatever are hard, but this is straight up a lie from a sitting elected official on nationally broadcast television. There should be some type of accountability otherwise anyone can just go on tv and say whatever they want. 

    What was the point she was trying to make anyway?
