  1. This is probably related to the fact that the Federal Circuit stayed the ruling of the Court of International Trade pending appeal. However they set a schedule to have it argued July 31 and heard en banc to begin with.
  2. He leads a lot like this guy.
  3. But what is the actual context here? Russia and Ukraine? Here, is she just excuse-making for Trump to saddle Ukraine with the worst possible peace deal because he can't deal with Daddy Vlad? Other than that, which would be an unjustified unilateral act by Putin, or maybe IndoPak heating up again, we're nowhere near nuclear conflict. And we've been closer on multiple occasions.
  4. Closer than we've ever been before. Bitch.
  5. Can't help but think his experience attempting to integrate his UO and UT rosters and that turning into a shitshow, despite all the talent. has an influence on this.
  6. That doesn't mean they saw it. Or saw unedited video. Defendants have no right to present evidence to a GJ, it's not a trial. Sometimes, a defendant's attorney is permitted, by the US Attorney in order to be fair, to make some form of presentation to the GJ. But you know that shit didn't happen here.
  7. Keep in mind that this is Eric Coomer as the plaintiff, not Dominion, generally. So many of the statements at issue pertained directly to Coomer rather than broad "election rigging." But I suppose they get into all of it
  8. You forgot "der Vaterland."
  9. And how ebil Joe Biden was actively seeking to curb lies on social media. But without getting anyone fired? That was . . . concerning.
  10. That's a shitty political opinion? The line of demarcation between the military and the police? And an opinion that the police often cross it?
  11. Fun fact, some think tank took all of Texas' statutes, and those of every other state, and compiled a "freedom index" based on the number of uses/occurrences/recurrences of mandatory words like "shall" and "must." Texas had the lowest freedom index in the nation on that basis.
  12. I don't care if he's lying. That's the way you do it (money for nothing and your chicks for free).
  13. Health insurance is higher here, too. And that nasty lil 8% on everything you buy. I've seen several Californians that moved to Texas only to find out the overall tax burden is actually lower there.
  14. Make no mistake, my scorn isn't limited to this guy in particular. It's anyone and everyone (lawyers) that tries to try a case in the press. I suppose non-lawyer parties are entitled to do what they want, but I don't like it any better.
  15. I'll take pig all day every day over the tigahs. That said, go cleers.
  16. That's a great point. America is, or was fine. It didn't need to be made great. It could certainly be improved, but not in any of the ways these assholes are touting. None of these alleged crises, are actually crises. They're just made up bullshit to stoke people's fears. Possibly more importantly, though, there are a lot of "loopholes" in our legal schema that allow for unilateral executive power in emergencies. Thankfully, these crises and emergencies are so clearly neither that the courts aren't having problems cutting back the power.
  17. Or he could have left off the little political dig and given the rocket science opinion that was requested.
  18. One classical symptom of active addiction is "terminal uniqueness," the notion that the addict's problems are worse than those of other addicts, or people in general, for that matter. So, yeah you can combine that with general purpose political ennui and disengagement and get right here.
  19. These protests, and the Floyd protests, are not even remotely comparable to the Capitol invasion on January 6. Let me know when these protestors break into a government building, during working hours, and while the occupants of the building are engaged in an important, if mostly ceremonial, quasi-legislative session. Arresting, trying, and convicting lawbreakers is what "Biden" did, more accurately, those in his administration tasked to do those things on a daily basis. All lawbreaking protestors should be treated similarly. What Biden never did was mobilize a military force against American citizens. Sure, it's "just the national guard," but read what Trump writes. He truly wants the US military to crack down on civilians within the territorial United States. He verily wants Delta Force and Seal Team 6 to be unleashed on protestors. He won't get that, most likely, so he'll settle for the 76th BCT. How soon you forget that this is a man who asked his second Sec Def if the military couldn't just "shoot em in the legs or something"? This is a guy that wants to push the boundaries of his power in the most foolish and juvenile ways possible.
  20. Well, he has been called on it, including by SCOTUS, and before it could finish out and he could defy the courts outright, lo,TACO. The Congressional response has been horrifyingly negligible, but the courts are standing tall before the man.
  21. Yeah, he's/they're probably gonna try to keep his/they're powder dry for 2028.
  22. Yeah, it's becoming clear that the main criteria for deportation and visa revocation are a) brown, from somewhere south and b) not a citizen. And even b) is becoming debatable. Alleged political activity is just a cover from a) and b). At this point, Trump is just trying to pump up the deportation numbers, he doesn't give a fuck who he actually deports.
  23. Well, remember, these are Trumpco's fanciful interpretations of the laws and constitution that considerably err on the side of executive power.
  24. I guess I understand many or most things about various guard units. Some are weekend warriors, and that only, others are former active duty serving out a hitch or volunteering. What I don't understand, I guess, is the chain of command and when and how active duty officers command guard units. And I suppose Air National Guard units tend to have more former active duty than weekend warriors due to the skills required, and maybe require active duty command on a full-time basis, as opposed to during deployments only. Also, at least for national guard units, it seems it is a mistake to assume they are all or even mostly "gravy seals." It seems many may be regular-service veterans, and even the weekend warriors may be actual veterans of deployments, including in combat roles.
