    That's like one of those "Sexy Darth Vader" costumes they sell around Halloween. 

    The 13 year-old version of me would have stolen that from my sister's room within minutes if she had ever received such a thing as a gift.

    Introducing Boba Fett into the show this early would take away from Mando.

    Boba ain't coming back.  Filoni is extremely close with Lucas, has even had him on the set of Mandalorian and he and Favreau got permission to work with the Yoda race, and Lucas made it clear that Boba is dead, multiple times.

    Plus, it would completely cheapen the Mandalorian series, and the Mandalorian doesn't have JJ Abrams or Rian as show-runners.

    It's going to be Gus Fring's character, Bill Burr's character, or possibly Gina's character.

    If Trump gets hotels to replace shower heads that dribble out a stream like an octogenarian with bladder cancer with some normal shower heads, that may go down as the most significant accomplishment of his reign of terror. 

    Wait, you think they want to spend money on new shower heads, and therefore more money on more water?

    Miami-Dade Police Director Juan Perez on Friday defended his officers’ actions, saying they “tried the best they could and showed incredible courage” in the firefight — even though a hostage and bystander wound up dead in the crossfire.

    “We as an agency mourn the loss of these two innocent victims,” Perez said. “We’re obviously sympathetic with the family members. It’s heart-breaking for us.”

    Perez insisted that the suspected robbers, Alexander and Hill, were to blame because they opened fire on the officers.

    I'd be curious to know who fired the shots that killed UPS driver and old guy.  Because in the middle of all of that shit, I doubt the robbers are thinking "oh shit, we gotta cap the UPS driver in case he identifies us!".

    The brother thinks he knows:

    my brother frank ordonez was killed by police officers  on 12/5/2019, when two robbers hijacked the USP truck he was driving.  They kidnapped my brother and took him on a high speed chase, when they came to a stop he was gun down like a criminal by the Florida police.

    During the chase’s violent finale on Miramar Parkway, a cluster of cars stopped in peak rush-hour traffic became shields for police. Officers ran and ducked around pedestrians, who witnessed over 100 rounds of gunfire that looked like small bursts of light and smoke in the daylight. 

    At the end, 20 officers descended on three men lying next to the UPS truck that had been hijacked by two armed robbery suspects in Coral Gables, where the driver of the truck was taken hostage.

    “I said, ‘Honey, don’t worry about it because he’s in Coconut Grove,’” Merino told the Miami Herald. “He drives a 24-footer in Coconut Grove, and this is in Coral Gables and it’s a P-500, which is a small-size truck.”

    Minutes later, the son called again. To his horror, he recognized his brother on the television screen, crawling out of the carjacked UPS truck before he died in the gunfight.

    The five or six officers from the Miramar and Pembroke Pines police departments who opened fire are on administrative leave, per department policies, Broward County Police Benevolent Association President Rod Skirvin said Friday. Eleven Miami-Dade officers also opened fire and have been placed on leave. An officer from the Florida Highway Patrol fired shots, as well.

    The FBI, which is leading the investigation into the incident, has offered little information about what happened, including whether Ordonez was killed by police bullets or exactly how Cutshaw was shot.

    It is a symptom of the illness of being a Texas fan that I googled this to see if "ttt" means anything.

    I'm guessing it's not "Trouble In Terrorist Town" but one never knows.

    Tom's Taste-Tester

    Some Longhorn fans have taken things a little too far, and so Tom had to make a new hire.

    The Razorbacks wanted to make a splash with their hire, someone the fan base could rally around, and Kiffin certainly checked both those boxes.

    I keep forgetting about Kiffin's deep ties to Arkansas and the surrounding states, and the network of high school coaches he can tap into.

    "I sometimes see where these horrible dishonest reporters will say that 'Oh jeez, the farmers are upset.' Well, they can't be too upset, because I gave them $12 billion and I gave them $16 billion this year," Trump said in a phone-in to Illinois farmers in late August, adding, "I hope you like me even better than you did in '16."

    "I would like you to do us a favor though."

    Also, after reading the tweet thread about Derkach, my respect for Ambassador Taylor, and former ambassadors, Yovanovich, Pyatt, and Tefft has increased. Nasty characters chumming around the city of Kyiv.

    Wonder if Rudy has some kind of security protection, because wow, there's some really shady characters there, and if they think he was going to flip, it seems like he'd be foolish not to have some kind of protection.

    What I can't wait for is when Biden doesn't get the nomination and suddenly they don't care about him anymore.  Suddenly Warren or whomever will be "under investigation".  It's just such blatant bullshit.

    I hope they do it.  I hope the Republicans pull out all the stops.   Going after Warren will do wonders with getting women out to vote for her.

    How can he stop Deutsche Bank and Capital One from following the ruling?  Trump could surely get away without complying but I don't think they could. Regardless of what the GOP allows, the banks would be completely fucked if they told Congress and the SCOTUS to fuck off. 

    He can't.  He could try and order Barr to try and force a confrontation with those dealing with the subpoenas (both the court officers and the recipients), but if things reach that point, you will see some serious shit.  Hell, even Lindsey Graham told the House Republicans to fuck off when they started trying to get Schiff's phone records.
