  1. I saw a piece discussing the new plans for the military to ignore threats abroad and focus on more local and even internal problems. It noted that there is always dissent among command staffs when these things are proposed and discussed, but that this was drawing unusual controversy.
  2. That's PA-Jefferson, the Dodge-Moerschell connection.
  3. One thing, though, are there any dissenters in the Trump Organization DC?
  4. Quite a cripple fight, there, though. The Soviet Union didn't have any aircraft even as competent as the Buffalo until about 1944.
  5. Yeah, those "Christians" running things these days aren't exactly known for their tolerance of other sects. It's amazing the motley Trump coalition hasn't turned on itself sooner.
  6. True enough, but I'd wager Rex would never wear MAGA stuff in public, not least because he claims to be anti-Trump and I believe him. A big part of that crowd is the assumption that those around them are like them without the need to advertise for the most part. But Ewers' thing kind of matches up with that. He wasn't wearing a MAGA hat, just thoughtlessly donned a country club golf shirt with a Trump logo. A lot of the HP crowd would avoid such a logo shirt, though, going for the more subtle DCC, Royal Oaks, or Brook Hollow shirt. But Ewers is exurb trash.
  7. Puts the massive combover in kinda a new light, don't it?
  8. 22 currently, apparently. A proud 25 graduate of Liberty U. And he does love him some Karoline.
  9. All those piston engines are incredibly loud. For some reason, for me at least, the radial engines seem the loudest and they produce some frequency that resonates in my chest.
  10. The real names are just as good/better. Clockwise from left: Brilyn Hollyhand; Darren Dershem; Nick Fuentes. Brilyn and Nick we know. A bit more Darren:
  11. Them: The lefties (who used to vote R) are highly triggered by this, and that's the point. Right?! Riiight!!!?
  12. I have dealt with some "cannabis lawyers" on trademark issues, but not her specifically. It goes about like you'd expect.
  13. That black men nobly and willingly served their/this country despite the majority's efforts to prevent them continues to mystify me. Maybe there's a pony in here somewhere after all.
  14. Correct. https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcrmp/rule_6 sub f
  15. Well, what underlay (notice past tense), the federal conviction rate was generally the quality of investigation, evidence preparation, and litigation skills of the civil servants that made up the FBI and DOJ. The federal conviction rate is probably going to plummet under Trump and for a few years thereafter, if there is a thereafter.
  16. And the OL's and the RB's.
  17. Probable cause is a very low standard, but there needs to be something signaling that the crime occurred. The problem here is more one for proof at trial. To prove this type of perjury, there needs to be something very unequivocal and contemporaneous that flat contradicts what the perjurer said. Otherwise, it's a he-said she-said that is extremely unlikely to meet the reasonable doubt standard. And even the known background information doesn't contradict what Comey said.
  18. It is highly unusual for a US Attorney to be the sole lawyer representing the government in a criminal case. Usually, there are three or four or more Assistant US Attorneys, sometimes even a couple more from Main Justice special units like national security or public corruption or what-have-you. It's a sign that no one else was willing to be associated with the case.
  19. None for fact checking, complete freedom on her part. Of course, after the fact, a defendant can challenge the indictment for lack of probable cause and examine the transcripts for lies and mischaracterizations.
  20. Fun and unusual fact. As of now, Lindsey Halligan is the only attorney from USAO ED Va that has appeared in Comey's case.
  21. A post on Popehat notes that, because the event is scheduled for 9/30, the last day of the fiscal year, US command staff could be stuck in Virginia for an indeterminate period by a shutdown.
  22. h/t popehat
  23. Mental health and too easy availability of guns are mostly independent variables in the mass shooting question. Addressing either one has great potential to reduce the problem until we actually attempt to address them.
  24. Thankfully, though, that kind of shit only works for teh Donald.
  25. Also, why is a cabinet official down amongst the hoi polloi in a football stadium? In whiskey Pete's case, I'm all for it. Maybe some short Mexicans in jean shorts (h/t Charlie Kirk) take care of that problem for us.
