    I was coming to blast Pierce for starting fucking starting Bryce Elder on Friday of the most important series of he year to date. Guess I won't now....but fuck Nolan Kingham 

    Eh, Kingham has been super shitty lately, regardless.  There's always hope he'll show up, but I'm kind of glad he decided for us.

    Anderson Bean is good for flatter feet, but they are all square toed.

    Feet aren't flat.  I have a substantial arch, but the distance between the bottom of my foot and the top is relatively small.  Don't think I've ever seen AB boots in a B.  They are Rios, or same owner and probably made in the same shop.  Same with Olathe.

     

    I've never had any trouble with just B width.  Tony Lama, Nocona, Hecho, Justin, all fine in B.  But I haven't bought a pair of boots in 10 years or more and I feel pretty strongly that my foot has splayed out some and I either need an 11 or a C or maybe even a D (10.5 B was my go to from 16 to 40 something).

  3. Boon, try wiping cache from the recovery menu. 

     

    Edit.  Power off, hold bixby and volume up buttons, then power on.  Eventually the "dos-looking" text menu comes up, use volume down to scroll down to "wipe cache" (not wipe fone), hit it, confirm, reboot.  I'm told that cache functions differently than it did many versions ago.  Nevertheless, short of a factory reset, wiping that cache solves all sorts of problems.

    Again, it's not a matter of one extreme or the other.  Comey isn't a scumbag. He's not even in Trump's ballpark.  That doesn't mean he's a hero, either.  Or that he didn't massively mishandle the situation.  I'm glad he's speaking out about Trump now, but he owns a share of the blame for putting Trump where he is to begin with. 

    Yeah, I think this is right.  He way out kicked his coverage from a political standpoint.  I'm not sure he's been fully candid about his motivations, either.  Not that they are that insidious, but embarrassingly self-centered.

    Really, I don't understand how anyone can defend Comey's actions.  The head of the FBI has no business holding a press conference to browbeat the subject of an investigation — much less a presidential candidate — for conduct that he has determined to be non-criminal.  Everything that followed happened because he tried to play King Solomon and let Hillary off while making clear to the public how guilty she really was. 

    (And Comey was right in what he said about her, but he shouldn't have been the one saying it.  Either recommend charging her or don't.  Save your disapproval for private conversations). 

    He shouldn't have allowed himself to be interjected into the process at all.  He apparently saw it as either an opportunity to curry favor with the existing or future administration or an opportunity to raise his profile or both.

     

    About the most he should have had to say on the topic was "we have concluded the investigation and recommended to the AG/USA that she not be charged."  His later comment about the reopening of the investigation is pretty indefensible.  It was, at that point, an ongoing investigation about which he should have said "no comment."

    ^^^^^^^^ Okay, but where is it coming from? I would agree that the US Attorney team are unlikely leakers. I just don't get  why the flood and why this is so different than what has happened before.? 

    I think maybe it's just subpoenas to others (AMI?) and not directly Cohen-related.  They kind of make it seem like the subject of the Cohen warrants, but judicial reporting is terrible.

     

    Also, subpoenas to third parties like AMI tend to be less likely to be under seal and the "witness" (the person/entity to whom the subpoena is directed), can disclose whatever they wish about the subpoena, so it's not really leaky in the same way that a search warrant under seal might be.

    They were both super shitty. Can we all just agree on that and move on? I'm about as socially liberal as they get and I think that woman is terrible. I'm not party over country. I just want sanity and a modicum of fair representation restored. Citizens United is a fucking travesty for our democracy/republic. I wish we could all agree in that.

    Oh indeed.  We do agree.

    Nice to know you don’t give a shit.

    I think a valid and broad distinction can be drawn between giving a shit (and its corollary doing something about it) and letting yourself fall into mental illness over the state of the government.

     

    For example, Trump is an assclown.  I know this (I have actually believed this for nearly three decades).  I don't need journalists and reporters constantly, obsessively digging up more evidence that he is, in fact, an assclown and devoting the equivalent of column feet of text to it on a daily basis.
