  3. Cocks blew their load and then assumed the position for the second half./Now This.]
  4. He beat the shit out of his best friend at a frat party. Got a medshirt for alcoholism.
  5. The cocks suck.
  6. SC secondary sucks out loud.
  7. Quite the premature ejaculation. Lets see if the cocks can reload.
  8. Gaaaad Damn.
  9. Goddam yellow shoes, keep thinking I see a hold called.
  10. Woof.
  11. That's 10-straight incomplete for Reed. Arch-like. But I give Arch tons of credit for not being a turnover machine.
  12. Holy shit. This is pure comedy!
  13. Lulz.
  14. Bahaha holy fuck.
  15. Not gonna get my hopes up yet, but what an unlikely and perfectly Aggy upset.
  16. Goddamn, every photo of the Oval Office includes more fucking gold.
  17. As mentioned above, from a purely analytical standpoint, the Federal Tort Claims Act precludes or does not waive sovereign immunity for malicious prosecution or defamation claims, except where the bad acts giving rise to them are those of law enforcement officials, which in this instance means cops. It would require, then, that cops fabricate or suppress evidence, resulting in the dismissal of a criminal case, or something of that nature. Pardoned people should have no claim for malicious prosecution, whether law enforcement officials are involved or not. As noted elsewhere, a pardon implies guilt and certainly does not actually resolve a conviction other than to relieve the consequences of it.
  18. In the interest of full-on pedantry, I think rent-seeking and regulatory capture are symptoms or features of capitalism, whereas the competition and efficient markets features of capitalism are supposed to foreclose or eliminate those things.
  19. The other problem with running a government agency entity as a business is "putting the public first." Sure, private businesses are decentish, better than government, at squeezing a penny until it screams. But they fucking suck at serving any constituency but shareholders, and the customers/public gets the shaft. Take shareholders out of it, with a non-profit, and they start serving themselves.
  20. Addendum to the above. When Pacino first entered the scene as Hoffa, doing his best scenery-chewing Devil's Advocate schtick, I was like "uh oh." But by most accounts, Hoffa was a bombastic, blustery character and agree with the above that Pacino played him with more nuance and "empathy-generation" than did Nicholson.
  21. One thing, I think monopoly or monopolization, at least defined somewhat economically (the power to set/control prices), only touches on the dangers of capitalism and corporate power. Maybe it's just more regulation in general/particular, environmental, workplace safety, worker security, customer privacy, etc. that's needed or necessary. But it also seems that "corporate" power needs to be viewed from another lens, entirely. I'm not 100% sure what that is.
  22. Really late to the party. I knew the backstory somewhat and had seen it on Netflix for ages, and could have sworn I watched it. If I did, I didn't remember hardly a damn thing about it. Except the actual Hoffa "climax." Is there another recentish film that depicts that? Sopranos prequel? It is in the back of my head that I have seen that scene, but with other actors. Maybe I'm just getting senile. I did notice the "aging" discrepancy, but for whatever reason it didn't much interfere with the film for me. I am somewhat extra fascinated with mob permeation of unions because I disdained unions for many years, but now see their abosolute necessity. Teamsters involvement with the mob seems somewhat inevitable, one way or another, because the mob has seemingly always had it's fingers in transportation/trucking. Are/were other unions as notoriously mobbed up as Teamsters?
  23. It will probably be cited as a reason not to release them, yes. The law, such as it is (meaning there's not a whole lot of law on this subject after grand jury secrecy), favors non-disclosure of investigation materials other than by using them to try people in criminal or civil cases. That's whether an investigation is ongoing or concluded. The case for non-disclosure gets stronger if there is an active investigation. This is law "by analogy" to the policies of the DOJ with regard to investigation materials, and things like FOIA that permit the government resist disclosure of investigation materials. There's also probably a pretty strong argument that any investigation is a pretext and unlikely to result in criminal charges because of the statute of limitations. For actual sex crimes, limitations is long or non-existent. For any sort of "material support of sex offenders," it's probably five years.
  24. But yeah, not all blocks are created equal. Sometimes it's more the hitter's fault, other times, it's a great block. Could score it like errors in baseball. Haha.
  25. You could argue that hitting into a block is an attack error.
