  1. Because the people on facing book that are actual people (as opposed to bots) have no idea who Pedro Pascal is, because they're dustfarts fwd; fwd; fwd;ing pearl clutchers about immigrants and trans.
  2. Not sure if serious. Are you aware of how Trump treats the Department of Justice, the courts of the United States of America, and the Attorney General, among other institutions?
  3. It's not though. It's more like a curiosity, provoked and tended by a bunch of insane MAGAts into a conspiracy theory that people like you are buying into now. If there were legit, convictable evidence that Trump committed child sexual abuse, he would have been prosecuted. There's not. There's just going to be a bunch of people with various connections to Epstein, and a bunch of really dubious witnesses and accounts and it's just going to be an endless shitstorm of conspiracy theories involving Trump, Clinton, Gates and God knows who else.
  4. And after the defendant is long dead and most of the participants. That's not a part of the rule, per se, but is as a practical matter.
  5. So, our back and side yards are well enclosed and we let our boys roam them mostly at will. Their murderous tendencies, if any, are thus restrained. Last night, I was trying to coax Wheezer to come in the house so we could go to bed. In the course of that "negotiation," I looked down to the far end of the side yard and saw something moving. Turned out to be an opossum that beat a hasty retreat under the fence. Wheezer ran toward it, but stopped about halfway. And at that point, Wheezer did not want to come in, so I let him play for a bit. After about 15 minutes, I went back out and Wheezer was acting like he had caught something, usually a bug, that he had pinned with his paws and he was looking down at it. As I got closer, I saw some dark fur, and I was like oh shit and it was a fairly big patch of fur so I thought it was a pretty hefty rat. Then I saw the tail and realized it was a young opossum that seemed to be, well, playing possum. I didn't see any injuries or blood so I distracted Wheezer and was kind of chasing him a few steps here and there and I looked back and the young opossum had stood up and I guess was preparing to flee. I managed to herd Wheezer into the house and hopefully saved the young marsupial. It seems that playing possum was the perfect move because Wheezer is young enough that hunting and playing are the same thing (as if they ever really grow out of it) and by not reacting to his actions, Wheeze was just kind of looking at it instead of swatting and biting. Seems maybe the first opossum I saw might have been Mama chasing after a youngun that Wheezer subsequently found.
  6. According to this docket sheet, which should be accurate, there was no motion to dismiss, and Bond moved, alone (not jointly), to dismiss with prejudice. https://www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/57676123/Bond_v_Roe The one motion was that Bond asked that the returned summons be sealed. The suit is styled Bond v. Roe to protect her identity. But a summons would have to have her actual name and address on it and the executed or returned summons would state where, how, and who was served with the suit. So that was for her benefit, not his. Curiously, however, the docket states that the motion to seal was opposed. That don't make no sense. The parties had agreed a couple of times to push off the joint scheduling conference and the defendant had not answered. That tends to mean they're actively talking. A settlement is most likely because he dismissed it with prejudice, meaning he can't bring it again if circumstances change. Before a defendant answers, the plaintiff has the unilateral right to dismiss a suit and to choose whether to do it with or without prejudice. By doing it with prejudice, the high likelihood is that some form of accommodation was reached. Even if the lawsuit had been shown to be a frivolous, sanctionable, flaming piece of shit, you'd still dismiss it without prejudice absent a settlement.
  7. Couple of points of order. This is a civil defamation suit, so there isn't a guilty client, and if anyone in this ends up "guilty," it will be the defendant, ie the chick. Of course, Bond might be guilty in the criminal case, but that's not the matter in question here. I'm not a big fan of using the term "guilty" in connection with civil suits. Given that the burden of proof in most of them is more likely than not, and the plaintiff is a private party rather than the government, the term "guilty" or "guilt" carries an implication that doesn't really belong in a civil suit. And, although you jest, it's probably worth remembering that even the guilty deserve and are entitled to a defense. The current regime should be a stark reminder that the government is not always a benign entity and it is at its most powerful against the individual in the context of a criminal proceeding.
  8. Estimates are $2-4K per hour for a Blackhawk. A Shithook is about $11k per hour.
  9. Do you think DNI Gabbard is or will actually do anything to restrain misbehavior before FISC?
  10. Guy is crazy as a shithouse rat. https://x.com/FeelsGuy2003
  11. Enjoyed the first book. Little ways into the second and I have this nagging fear that it's gonna be a little too MMPORGy for me.
  12. These things are supposed to be quite good. https://www.amazon.com/Thermacell-Rechargeable-Protection-DEET-Free-Alternative/dp/B09LXCSSVR/ref=asc_df_B09LXCSSVR?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80814230791523&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=77266&hvtargid=pla-4584413753569036&th=1 The catch is that a 12-hour refill is about $20.
  13. I had truly excellent English teachers in high school. And I didn't take AP. But DaN was part of the curriculum. I need to re-read it. Ms. Fish, Mrs. Troutman, Mr. Smith (later a baseball coach), and Mrs. Glover.
  14. He's not gonna do it. More shit advocacy from Blondi and Trump DOJ. But the idea here I think is to blame it on the judge.
  15. Stupid fat motherfucker has been in full flight from reality since I dunno when. The problem is his ability to take others with him. That seems to be diminishing, slightly.
  16. Yes, like others, I see that as calling out the hypocrisy as opposed to demanding that real Christianity dictate the outcome. As soon as he starts using Jesus or Christian arguments of a certain strain to support legislation, then I'm right with ya.
  17. See how stupid you look when you call things that aren't treason treason? Told y'all. It's not RICO and its not treason, dammit.
  18. Yeah, I'm not sure who we're indicating here, AI or management consultants. Why not both?
  19. Yep, complete political hacks and kind of sleeper cells. Like the whole AG/SG deal.
  20. Also, I might guess that the suit was filed in the Miami Division (rather than WPB/Fort Pierce) because his hack lawyer, Brito, is in Miami. Likely as not, Brito filed it in Miami because convenient/lazy/in a hurry. Given the judicial assignment, I'm guessing Brito is getting roasted by Trump.
  21. You raise a good point. Do note, however, that the Talarico oration immediately above is made in a church and not in a political context. When Talarico speaks in a political context, at least as far as I am aware, he does not invoke Christ or Christianity.
  22. Shocking, really. Their hypocrisy apparently only does go so far. Edit: it appears that Booker and Kim won't consent to the nomination so they can't even hold a vote for Republican Senators to debase themselves in.
  23. And Naive Bukkake admitted that the Venezuelans were always the responsibility of the US. And now the government admits that it can and will faclititate return of Venezuelans to the US.
  24. Oh for sure. Also unsurprising.
  25. Some district judge is going to go off on them given the AP precedent and the lack of even that flimsy excuse.
