  1. I suspect that's based on mouth-breathers at IT.
  2. As a general proposition, it is legal for state authorities to arrest federal agents/officers for commission of crimes, subject to the usual strictures of arrest/indictment. That's where the criminal removal thing that Trump tried to use comes into play. That's so the federal officer can get a federal hearing of whatever immunity defenses s/he has. I think what might be a more interesting scenario is if home state guards, deployed legimately by the governor, attempt to block the "entry" of non-native guards deployed without gubernatorial consent and under dubious federal control. Doesn't even have to be shooting, just a good ol standoff.
  3. Glad and somewhat surprised. Outside of the context of her and pedos more broadly, it presented a fairly interesting question on how pleas and non-prosecution agreements are interpreted.
  4. Well, I think the sense that we have lost community, and along with it family, values is real, and to the extent that it isn't it's a very real perception. Where the notion goes wrong is that cis-het couples in traditional marriages, and traditional institutions like churches or non-woke Boy/Girl Scouts are the only solutions to those problems.
  5. That too many position coaches are inputting in the game plan and making a mess of it. I suspect he suspects Akina, because: "You typically do this with 3 or 4 men against a mobile QB and then run zone behind it, trying to force a pick. Sometimes with a late zone blitzer/spy. Competent defenses don’t do this with five DL and then run man behind it against an immobile, injured QB. One of many examples of the pitfalls of a defensive game plan by committee where the various participants are determined to get their stuff in, irrespective of the larger whole." If you don't recall the lowdown on Akina, he's a good to great teacher of coverage skills, but a pretty lousy teacher of zone and is hostile to employing his DB in zones. Scipio is saying that we should have run zone behind our front, but didn't because too many coaches got their say in the plan. That's my read between the lines, YMMV.
  6. Not really a surprise. This guy is CEO of Meta and he's one of these bizarre Jew Hitler Youth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Kaplan
  7. Here’s the book’s single mention of bin Laden, in a section criticizing US foreign policy: “Instead of one looming crisis hanging over us, we face a bewildering series of smaller crises, flash points, standoffs, and hot spots. We’re not playing the chess game to end all chess games anymore. We’re playing tournament chess – one master against many rivals. One day we’re all assured that Iraq is under control, the UN inspectors have done their work, everything’s fine, not to worry. The next day the bombing begins. One day we’re told that a shadowy figure with no fixed address named Osama bin-Laden is public enemy number one, and U.S. jetfighters lay waste to his camp in Afghanistan. He escapes back under some rock, and a few news cycles later it’s on to a new enemy and new crisis.” That is clearly not any advice to anyone about bin Laden. And it contains an acknowledgment that bin Laden had already been targeted by then-President Bill Clinton (after the 1998 terror attacks on US embassies in Tanzania and Kenya).
  8. So, I read zone problems and dissension among the defensive staff. Akina?
  9. Silk is a very worthwhile watch. The British barrister spin on a lawyer/crime show adds a lot of dimension to the whole thing.
  10. Don't get me wrong, I don't question that it was self-defense or that he feared for his life. It's just a knife is a pretty intimate way to defend yourself.
  11. Finally found what they were applauding. "I support across the board pay raises . . . ." There was not a peep from the audience for the remaining political screed.
  12. Is it clear to anyone how the old fella got the gash in his face? I agree that he was clearly the victim, but his pulling the knife does kind of give me pause.
  13. I dunno, I sensed/sense that a lot of Bernie types were in that sort of groyper/edgelord/4chan/anon group that we recently explored relating to Taylor Robinson. It may be bigger than you think.
  14. Also, here's harmeethead's criticism. https://therightscoop.com/breaking-harmeet-dhillon-responds-after-sc-judge-blocked-her-access-to-voter-roles/ The gist: This @TheJusticeDept’s @CivilRights will not stand for a state court judge’s hasty nullification of our federal voting laws. I will allow nothing to stand in the way of our mandate to maintain clean voter rolls. One Citizen, One Vote! That is a complete load of shit. It is entirely the state's responsibility, to the exclusion of the federal government, to maintain and police its voter rolls. Federal law comes into play only if there is evidence that the states are doing so in a way that violates civil rights.
  15. Oh no doubt. Totally inappropriate in any event. Especially so in current circumstances. I just was interested in the sailors' reactions.
  16. A speech at Norfolk Naval base. Skimming the whole thing, got a lot of applause for the rah rah stuff and a lot of shrugs for the political stuff.
  17. I think it's fair to point out that they were applauding whatever he said before that. What is the occasion there? I assume something to do with the Navy birthday.
  18. Judging by his x, his ass is out most of the time. Also, regarding Sanchez, that's bizarre as hell. He's either got a pretty serious drinking problem or there were some drugs (including prescription) involved in that.
  19. Judging by his x, his ass is out most of the time.
  20. I wouldn't say they figured out we were fraudulent. They made a safe gamble that the OL they pretty much bitched last year wasn't any better and probably a good deal worse and they could make our rookie QB suffer some. That safe gamble turned into a big win when our OL pretty much sucked and so did Arch. But they knew neither of those things in advance.
  21. The conventional wisdom, I believe, is that OL are the most likely to bust and that individualized evaluation is the best tactic. So stars tell less of the tale than usual. Regardless, whatever we've been doing doesn't seem to be working out.
  22. Interesting to note that none of those people outright assaulted either of the "officers." Pretty non-violent considering what could have happened.
  23. More on the fired ED Va national security prosecutor, Michael Ben'Ary. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/letter-left-fired-federal-prosecutors-office-door-warns-americans-are-rcna235566
  24. Injecting more recovery-speak/thought, which may be completely gratuitous. Trying to control people, places, and things is something those in recovery learn is impossible and only leads to frustration. The flip side of that is that sometimes people in recovery take too much responsibility for things that aren't theirs. Both aspects are hard to manage and get right, so the mantra "progress not perfection." I suspect his intervention with PK followed the pattern I described above. He may not have come to clarity on the offensive struggles, but hopefully he can. And maybe he's had an intervention with Flood but can now see it just isn't working out.
