  1. Let’s try this again. If one of the 161 counts was an action that falls within the course of his duties, and one of the 161 counts was shooting Brad in the face, is that murder charge getting kicked to the federal court?
  2. I have lived through several hurricanes; I evacuated for some and stayed for others. I also manned shelters for Katrina evacuees at our church and provided free healthcare for them at Ford Arena for the 4 weeks or so before we got slammed by Rita. Being in a common room with hundreds of strangers on cots with no place to secure your belongings and no way to care for your animals is a tougher proposition than you might think I will say my dad never evacuated for a single one (worked at one of the refineries so was either obligated to be on site or had to be in town on call), but after Rita he said he’d never stay for another. Hit land at Cat 4 and the outer bands had hurricane force winds. 12+ hours of wind > 60 mph with sustained winds > 120 mph for several hours. Their house was built in the 50’s and had withstood numerous storms. He said when the winds were at their worst he could see the internal walls and ceiling flexing in and out like the house was breathing Mother Nature is a bad bitch

    Getting old sucks

    Stephen Esses is probably the best in Houston if he’s still in practice. Not the best bedside manner but super smart and great technically and doesn’t operate on everything that walks in his door. I’ll shoot you a PM
  4. You ever stay at a shelter? Or volunteer at a shelter?
  5. You’re going to have to walk me through how the acts he is alleged to have committed, which by the very fact of their being indictable acts are criminal in nature, could be construed as having been done legitimately in the course of his official governmental duties and therefore fall under federal jurisdiction. It strains credulity. put it this way: if this meeting had taken place in Raffensperger’s office, and when he told Trump no Meadows had shot him in the face, would he be able move his murder trial to federal court based on his role as WH chief of staff?

    LBGTQ

    It could lodge under the skin and cause a bad infection
  7. Does a nondisparagement agreement mean you can’t make true statements about the party if they are damaging?
  8. No. Hospitals require a flu shot for employees

    LBGTQ

    Imagine coming to a thread where people are talking about fighting for their right simply to exist, where personal stories of abuse and discrimination have been shared, and where people share stories of relatives and loved ones committing suicide because of how difficult their lives were simply for being different. Now imagine someone posts a graph showing that when social mores regarding a trait considered a stigma changed, there was a sharp increase in the prevalence that trait, and thinking it was clever to post this?
  10. Hoover had such a hardon for MLK not because of the what he was doing to advance rights for blacks but rather because his speeches on poverty were gaining traction amongst poor whites. That would have been real trouble
  11. Looks like the peninsula is going to get the dirty side of the storm for > 24 hours
  12. The lady in the green looks like my geometry teacher. She could be writing a proof on the chalk board, hear you talking behind her, turn and peg you with an eraser, and go right back to the proof without missing a beat
  13. Even the dude in the sunglasses looking straight at him is giving him side-eye
  14. I just looked on Wunderground they are projecting cat 3 by 1 am Wednesday. It’s a TS currently so a little over 24 hours to strengthen that much. Damn the Gulf is hot
  15. Idalia is just a TS correct? Is it projected to dump massive amounts of rainfall? Because storm surge and wind should be manageable even if it makes cat I before landfall.
