    Call me crazy, but it seems to be that it's at least equally possible that SCOTUS picked up the case to drive a final nail into the coffin of immunity, not to crown Trump King.

    Now the SC has decided to hear the Trump’s immunity case. I guess the three judge panel’s rendering left something to be desired.

    Zone of Interest was the most disappointing thing I have ever seen in my entire life. It was literally “guy that works at Auschwitz lives next to it with his family”. That’s the entire fucking movie. 105 minutes of watching grass grow would’ve been less boring. 

    So it's definitely gonna win the Oscar.

  4. Quote

    Richard Lewis, a stand-up comedian who first achieved fame in the 1980s with his trademark acerbic, dark sense of humor, and who later parlayed that quality into an acting career that included movies like “Robin Hood: Men in Tights” and a recurring role as himself on HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” died on Tuesday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 76.

    His publicist, Jeff Abraham, said the cause was a heart attack. Mr. Lewis announced last year that he had Parkinson’s disease.

    Mr. Lewis was among the best-known names in a generation of comedians who came of age during the 1970s and ’80s, marked by a world-weary, sarcastic wit that mapped well onto the urban malaise in which many of them plied their trade.

    He became a regular on late-night talk shows, favored as much for his tight act as for his casual, open affability as an interviewee. And he was at the forefront of the boom in stand-up comedy that came with the expansion of cable television in the late 1980s.

    Mr. Lewis later moved into acting. He starred on the sitcom “Anything but Love,” opposite Jamie Lee Curtis, from 1989 to 1992. Beginning in 1999, he had a regular, semi-fictionalized role on “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” playing a good friend and golf buddy of Larry David, the show’s star and creator.

    He did not appear in every episode, but he appeared regularly, including in the current season, the show’s last.

    A full obituary will appear soon.

    I swore I saw it earlier today, and now I can't find any confirmation.  He looks close to the end in this latest season of Curb.

    Just got a breaking news email notification from NYT.

  6. I happen to have some first hand experience with them of late, representing a couple of judgment debtors in attempted turnover/receiver actions.  The plaintiff attorneys apparently haven't bothered to read the Property Code, which makes opposing the motions much easier.

    That’s crazy. Why did Texas decide to treat LLC interests differently?

    I don't know for sure but I suspect it's because the nature of LLCs are that membership interests typically have restrictions on transfer.

    She's an unredeemable and vile person. She's a thief and anti-republic.

    The tiny little molecule of a favorable comment I can make about her is that she has done remarkable well losing weight.

    It's not easy to do. She looks okay.

    She should be in jail or on a gallows, but she'd be less strain on the rope now.

    Can they not seize the LLC interests held by the defendant directly?

    What they can do, if they can trace it, is take ownership of shares of LLCs or other entities that are in Donalds or one of the defendant entities names. 

     

    Not in Texas.  Only means of collecting judgment against LLC member/owner is via a charging order, which is limited to directing distributions to the judgment creditor.  Corporate stock can be seized and sold at public auction.

    You left out her previous work as a 'Sugar Baby' escort (has this been proven?), fleeing the scene of a side-by-side accident, leaving behind an injured family member, in order  to not catch a DUI, ruining a completely safe Republican district and carpetbagging to another, and feeling that it's appropriate to shout out during the State Of The Union of one of the greatest (and fucked up) countries in human history.

    Texas and Florida will lose soundly, 6-3 or even 7-2 (Gorsuch is the unknown).  The laws are horribly written and clearly unconstitutional. I guess I'm worried about what landmines Roberts leaves in a decision to exploit later, but I'm not sure he even will do that with this one. He'll probably just take some bullshit "Roberts shows the court can still be moderate!" stories and be happy.

    wait. how did this even happen?

    oh, a pet of Ginni Thomas. Ginni and Thomas - the field of psychiatry hasn't terms for this relationship.

    From Wiki:

    Following her departure from Turning Point USA, Clanton had worked for Ginni Thomas,[4] the Justice's wife, and had lived at the Thomas's house for a year. Ginni Thomas was a member of the Turning Point USA advisory council at the time of Clanton's departure.[5]

    That looks like a Domaine Romanee Conti Echezeaux.  Those go for about $3K a bottle these days (on release).  You know, the kind of wine that people of regular stock enjoy.

    "YOU KNOW, I DON’T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH GOING TO EUROPE, BUT I PREFER THE UNITED STATES, AND I PREFER SEEING THE REGULAR PARTS OF THE UNITED STATES. I PREFER GOING ACROSS THE RURAL AREAS. I PREFER THE RV PARKS, AND I PREFER THE WALMART PARKING LOTS TO THE BEACHES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. THERE’S SOMETHING NORMAL TO ME ABOUT IT. I COME FROM REGULAR STOCK, AND I PREFER THAT. I PREFER BEING AROUND THAT."

    We are already seeing a ramp up of hybrid activities in the Baltics.  I compare the Kremlin playbook to Leach’s Air Raid.  There are only a few actual plays and concepts they use, out of a huge mix of formations and camouflage. 
    In the Baltics, I think a lot about a modified Donbas play.  Suddenly a bunch of Russian speakers near a border  mysteriously begin whining about rights. Russia reinforces their border. Soon unmarked equipment and unacknowledged advisors turn up across the border, autonomy is declared.  Russia declares its interest but not involvement in this “internal crisis.”
