    Rural school districts have already been hit by the legislature fucking around.  Even I’m guilty of seeing them as stupid, but many are aware that if their schools suffer, the towns will suffer.

    Great, but they still won't do jack shit about it.

    Abbott, Patrick the nuts in the Legislature are actively pushing legislation that works against the rural counties.  This is relatively new, and is in spite of Democrats shooting themselves in the foot. 

    And rural counties are too fucking stupid to realize it and will continue to pull the lever for team (R) no matter how shitty their lives get.

    These days they’ll be thinking about book deals and trying to stay on the jury.

    Just like they did for the OJ trial.  They probably had people auditioning for jury duty like it was a background role in a Hollywood blockbuster.

  4. He says Dotard Social has over $200MM in cash that is very liquid, but look at the balance sheet and all that cash is below the current assets line, meaning it's locked up for over one year.

    The financial statements were signed off by a firm named Adeptus Partners, LLC.  Not exactly your PricewaterhouseCoopers / Deloitte & Touche / Ernst and Young / KPMG type of dudes.

    Trump Says He Intends to Testify in His Manhattan Criminal Case

    giphy.gif

    Donald J. Trump, having failed to fend off a criminal trial in Manhattan that begins on Monday, said that he planned to testify in the case stemming from a hush-money payment to a porn star.

    Taking questions Friday from reporters at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla., Mr. Trump, when asked whether he would take the stand, responded that he would.

    “I’m testifying. I tell the truth,” he said, standing just off a sunny patio of the private club with Speaker Mike Johnson behind him. “I mean, all I can do is tell the truth. And the truth is that there’s no case. They have no case.”

    A spokeswoman for the Manhattan district attorney’s office, which has charged Mr. Trump with 34 felonies, declined to comment on his remarks.

    Despite Mr. Trump’s comments, it is far from a sure thing that he will testify. Instead, his comments initiate a familiar two-step: It will not be clear whether the former president will take the stand until the moment he actually does.

    Mr. Trump will most likely wait to see whether the prosecution presents a strong case — and whether the judge presiding over the trial plans to restrict prosecutors’ efforts to cross-examine him, according to people with knowledge of his planning.

    In past cases, Mr. Trump has wavered after saying that he would testify, including during his civil fraud trial last year, when he canceled his defense testimony the day before he was scheduled to take the stand.

    When he was called to testify by the New York attorney general’s office, which filed the case, it did not go well. The judge in the case, who found Mr. Trump liable for conspiring to inflate his net worth, criticized the former president for not answering directly and questioned his credibility.

    Testifying in a criminal case would be even riskier. In the trial scheduled to start next week, Mr. Trump is for the first time facing the threat of criminal conviction. He will be at a disadvantage with a jury in Manhattan, a heavily Democratic county.

    “Jury selection is largely luck,” Mr. Trump said in his remarks on Friday. “It depends who you get.”

    The district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, accused Mr. Trump of coordinating the hush-money payment to the porn star, Stormy Daniels, during the 2016 election. The $130,000 payment bought her silence as she was shopping a story about a sexual encounter with Mr. Trump.

    Mr. Trump was charged with falsifying documents to cover up that payment.

    Mr. Trump denies the charges, and having had sex with Ms. Daniels. He has cast Mr. Bragg’s case as a politically motivated witch hunt.

    Jury selection is scheduled to begin Monday.

     

    He says that every time and never folliws through. Because he’s a big old pussy.

    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.
