  1. Or the cat food. In your bank account.
  2. So, Rikki, is a pinky ring just too much?
  3. Fucking "Patriot" Awards, honoring only MAGA grifters, from an alleged news network. But MSM is biased!
  4. What's kind of amusing is that with steam and rifled cannon in turrets came the maneuverability and range to engage another ship or ships at range and somewhat independent of formation (battle lines no longer required). And then we had maybe a dozen of those kind of naval battles over the next 30-40 years and then nada. Right, and much more a dreadnought battleship than a sail-powered ship of the line.
  5. Yeah, why is Carville hiring W&C when the AD was libeled, if he was libeled. Bizarro. That said, if W&C files suit in Louisiana, they'll do everything in their power to neutralize the politics or tilt them in their favor.
  6. Bet he's glad that dress uniform includes gloves.
  7. One lie destroys credibility. Dozens or hundreds of lies don't.
  8. Exceptionally stupid. And bigoted.
  9. I won't call them flat bad. This year is flat bad. But for the reasons you cite, they were less than championship caliber, for sure, and were exposed when playing top-level defenses.
  10. But all politicians lie!
  11. If you're going to include sailing ships with broadside smoothbore/muzzle-loading cannon, then you have to include aircraft carriers. Although it may have been aspirational, longer-range naval artillery didn't really exist until rifled breech-loaders, which also roughly coincided with steam power and iron hulls.
  12. Oh they're super serious about making money.
  13. What's kind of interesting is that the tradition of battleships lasted only about 50 years. Even if you expand the classification to powered, iron/steel hulled warships, it's 75 years, 100 at the outside.
  14. Also a misdemeanor, which is uncommon in federal court and likely viewed by at least the judge and defense as a nuisance to be disposed of. And, in your typical, relatively complex federal prosecution, the prosecution has to do months or years of investigation, generating a bunch of evidence, most of which has to be given to the defendant and the defendant then has to have some time to go through it. Then you have your pretrial motions about whether the criminal statute really fits the offense and so on. Most federal crimes are not of the simple, common-law type like assault, burglary, rape, murder. Even in this case, though, it seems the defense did some pretty serious investigation to find that the agent had received gag gifts over it. Long story short, this has no business being in federal court and everyone knew it. What's interesting to me is that a DC jury took seven hours to acquit. That tells me that the jury took the case seriously despite being obviously political. It may have been a crazy holdout situation, but I think from the questions they sent the judge, they tried pretty hard to decide if the actions really fit the definition of the crime. Final note, everyone involved had some recognition that trial time in a US District Court is a rare and precious resource. The defense doesn't really care as long as it gets its trial sometime in the millennium, but the judge for sure and the prosecution, probably, care quite a bit that 2-4 days of precious trial time are taken up by unserious, political cases.
  15. You really ought to put some of this down in a pro-forma. I think it would be your intention for the investors to decide what to do, but that could get hairy real fast.
  16. Yeah, Mace appears to be actually deranged and combines that with a tendency toward cuntiness. Cruz is 100% cuntiness, no mental health "excuses."
  17. Well, originally, it would have been in the hands of criminal investigators and then lawyers, who have various motivations not to leak or disclose, which is why we generally don't get a lot of deets on a criminal case until and unless people are charged. They just don't leak. But apparently now it is in the hands of Congressional committees, who leak like a sieve.
  18. Her ex just filed a defamation suit. https://www.counton2.com/news/rep-nancy-maces-ex-fiance-files-defamation-suit-against-her/
  19. Klayman is famous for filing lawsuits and dropping them. He's an assclown.
  20. With all due respect to the Sammy's folks, and they are good folks, they serve a shit ton of brisket with large quantities of unrendered or partially rendered fat. That's a cardinal sin to me. I only really ever ate at the OG Dickeys on Central and the OG Sonny Bryans on Inwood, both locations of which smoke meat on-premises (as opposed to their franchise locations that might as well use foil pans and liquid smoke). Neither are particularly great in comparison to the new order, but they aren't boiled brisket, either, and I've never had huge globs of unrendered fat. And El Fenix on McKinney opened in 1918. It's even older than El Chico. So, no, Sammy's is not equivalent to El Fenix.
  21. Why is that dirty beaner running as a MAGAt? /s sorta
  22. Or the onion smell, apparently. From the exploded sandwich,fully wrapped on the ground.
