    Your command of English must be as good as it is of Economics. 

    The verb agreement choice depends on context and/or region. Here’s UT Law faculty Wayne Schiess who “teaches legal writing, legal drafting, and plain English“:

    English is my 2nd language (out of 4).  What’s your excuse?

    You just proved his point, dumbass.

    yeah, scout buddy I know and those I’ve talked to connected to him have been warning about this for a while now.


     

    It will but I, for one, look forward to not having to pay $180 for third row seats like I did for tonight’s game.

    It does really, really suck that both of my kids are just now getting to the prime age of kid fandom and we’re too young to really experience/remember most of this window.

     

    Sucks for the kids, but they can wait 40+ years like most of us did.  Makes you appreciate shit a lot more.

    No, he’s going to jail for lying under oath.  All of the other stuff doesn’t count against him, whether alleged, proven, or admitted to. 

    Well that instills shit loads of confidence in the justice system.

    To be fair it’s like 2/3 of that generation, but yes.  There are some good ones. My parents. The @RomaVicta types, etc. 

    My parents are pretty hardcore lib, my mom still clings to some churchy stuff but keeps it to herself.  My old man makes Bernie Sanders look like Richard Nixon.

    That Alan Ritchson article is a good read. Took me half an hour. But a good read.

    The MAGA nation likely will still be going strong even if Trump is long dead and gone by 2028, and the Republican hopefuls still have to grovel to that base.

    Tell me more about the bolded part.  It sounds nice.

    This hits close to home because I murdered my ex-wife and a waiter this morning.

    Do you offer discounts on your services if someone just needs an ex-wife "taken care of"?  The waiter at the restaurant last week was shit, but he wasn't bad enough to get kilt.

    Hand to hand combat with cops for hours. 

    Cops/secret service guys called their loved ones to say goodbye because they didn't know if they would make it through the day alive.

    And we’ve done fuck all to prevent it from happening again because there’s no law that says you can’t incite an insurrection if your rich and white enough.

    That's weird. I've seen hundreds of lowly, everyday people perjure themselves on the stand and not once have I seen one even charged with perjury, much less convicted

    one of our local legal experts is going to need to explain why the system seems to be only working against the wealthy.

    I’ve never seen it before so obviously it has never happened in the history of the earth.

    Come on man.

    This is just my wild ass guess, but I think a lot of the old institutionalists thought it impossible that Trump could come back as a viable political candidate after J6.   A failure of imagination as to how much of a cult it actually was. 

    The old institutionalists are dumb af.  Most everyone on this here board knew he would come back like a roach.

    It is an inherently pay-for-play system.  I'm not sure how we escape that.  Public defenders are getting better in the criminal arena because of the spotlight you mention.  There are other areas, such as contingent-fee litigation, where little or smaller guys are getting top-notch, vigorous representation, but that's in pretty limited circumstances in civil cases.

    Trumpco is milking available procedures for all they are worth, but it's not working very well outside of Cannon's court, as you note, even in the pretty short term.

    One thing we have to acknowledge is that Trump is unprecedented in virtually every area that pertains to government institution and his abuse of same.  The institutions were unprepared for the likes of him.

    In the courts, that lack of preparation takes the form of novel legal questions, so-called "issues of first impression."  As a corrupt former President, Trump has presented those in spades unfortunately.  But the judicial system has dealt with them better than other institutions of government.  As has been noted, courts are a fundamentally fact-based forum, where Trump's bullshit is far less likely to work than other fora.

     

    My biggest gripe is everyone knows dotard’s strategy is delay, delay, delay by any means necessary. That said, why did Garland wait two fucking years to get going on this shit?  I’m not saying he had to have the investigation, trial and sentencing wrapped up in six months, but how long after Jan 6 was it before Smith got appointed?
