    Any of you Tecova wearers have a narrow foot? Rios/Mercedes are the best fit for me.

    favorite model: https://riosofmercedes.com/boots/stock-collection/r9002

    Interdasting.  Wear a B width?  My feet aren't narrow per se, so much as "low volume," meaning top-to-bottom rather than side to side.  But I think with age I may have spread out toward a D, hard to tell.  Where do you buy them?

    Well, just make her attend Baylor then...

    As an "instagram model," I'm relatively certain she already pulls trains voluntarily.  They're kind of the epitome of "model/actress/whore" emphasis on the whore part.

    I don’t have any first hand experience, but I wonder if any criminal statutes pertaining to “official oppression” would ever apply.  They are rarely invoked in practice.

    Good question.

    It is, unfortunately, only a Class A misdemeanor.

    Sec. 39.03. OFFICIAL OPPRESSION. (a) A public servant acting under color of his office or employment commits an offense if he:

    (1) intentionally subjects another to mistreatment or to arrest, detention, search, seizure, dispossession, assessment, or lien that he knows is unlawful;

    (2) intentionally denies or impedes another in the exercise or enjoyment of any right, privilege, power, or immunity, knowing his conduct is unlawful; or

    (3) intentionally subjects another to sexual harassment.

    (b) For purposes of this section, a public servant acts under color of his office or employment if he acts or purports to act in an official capacity or takes advantage of such actual or purported capacity.

    (c) In this section, "sexual harassment" means unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature, submission to which is made a term or condition of a person's exercise or enjoyment of any right, privilege, power, or immunity, either explicitly or implicitly.

    (d) An offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor, except that an offense is a felony of the third degree if the public servant acted with the intent to impair the accuracy of data reported to the Texas Education Agency through the Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) described by Section 42.006, Education Code, under a law requiring that reporting.

    If I remember correctly, Dershowitz has been vocal for quite a while that Trump has every right to fire Mueller.   It's happening?

    Here's the deal.  The special counsel rule is only a rule of the Justice Department, it isn't a law passed by Congress.  The Justice Department has to follow its own rules or it violates the Administrative Procedure Act.  But the rules don't bind anyone else.  It's kind of a weird, gray area, 

     

    I don't find the reasoning of Hennen to be persuasive, as the issue before the Court was whether a district judge could remove the clerk of the court.  There's a whole shitpile of dicta in it that one might find somewhat persuasive, but it is dicta and in any event did not address removal of an "officer" appointed pursuant to administrative rule, because administrative rules didn't exist in 1839.  Most of the decision is dedicated to tearing apart the proposition that the power of appointment necessarily includes the power of dismissal.

  5. Upon further consideration of the "taint team" concept, while I believe it's necessary and a valid theory, I'm not convinced that there isn't something else at play with Cohen that is fairly outside the scope of the Special Counsel mandate.  Otherwise, I think Mueller could have obtained the warrant and left the broader FBI and any investigative group/legal team outside of his to be the taint team.  There wouldn't seem to be any need to have the SDNY obtain and execute the warrant otherwise.

    All things considered - and the main thing to consider being that we started a kid who wasn’t anywhere near ready to pitch - maybe we didn’t do all that badly. 

    Yeah it could easily have been humiliating if some other pitchers hadn't stood tall.  They're pretty much all capable of explosive diarrhea all over themselves.

  7. These turd announcers act like they're trying to foment a brawl with every HBP.  Talking about glaring and shit.  Surprised they haven't mentioned "chin music" and intimated that it was intentional.

    Is gomer Pyle fighting off demons on the mound?

    Rebuking them, imo.  He was dropping lots of f-bombs on them.
