  1. Sure, it seems dumb on its face. But, knowing what we know of Dotard's IQ and attention span, this will likely be the kind of briefing he gets on Ukraine, for example: ....accompanied by a senior official making "BOOM!" and "BOOSH!" noises for effect.
  2. That order will be violated in a timespan that can be measured in milliseconds. And there will be no consequences.
  3. I'm sure the shriveled vienna sausage deployment on their honeymoon will be everything his bride has dreamed of. By the way, did this timeline have to go full-on cartoonishly ridiculous with the overlapping of crooked fascist oligarchs and the kakistocracy? The fucking obsession the right has with nakedly corrupt Russian authoritarianism is fucking ridiculous.
  4. I fail to see how this involves Hall and Oates. Quit threadshitting. Also, fuck that fucking guy. I like him taking the L, but we need him to take a brutal, no-coming-back-from-this L, and right soon.
  5. If Orcas ever start doing this shit to us....shit's about to get real.
  6. Shit, after freezing our asses off in our house with no-power in 2021, when we got juice back, we went to Taco Cabana, which had a limited menu. We literally just ordered "a big bag of whatever you've got." Regular tacos, bean and cheese tacos, salsa and chips. Sat down in our warm house, with our warm food....and agreed it was perhaps one of the top 2-3 dinners of our entire lives. I've had a warm can of Campbell's chunky whatever soup after freezing in a duck blind, and it was life-changing. Context matters like a mofo.
  7. Is yanking it to Spectravision really an "altercation?"
  8. "The people have spoken - the bastards."
  9. You can elect competent DAs who are actually good at the job. Plenty of jurisdictions have over the years, including this one in the past. The problem is when it becomes a hyper-politicized job (in either direction, by the way -- plenty of shitty "WAR ON CRIME! I'LL GET EVERYONE LOCKED UP FOR LIFE!" DAs in Texas in recent decades). It used to be that in most cases, while it was a "political" job, it was usually run for and taken by someone who knew the ropes, and actually wanted to perform the job, which is hard and ministerial in large part.
  10. If his speechwriting team doesn't have him prepped with a handful of brutal responses to MTG heckling, they aren't doing their jobs.
  11. HRH Princess Sofia of Sweden, the Duchess of Värmland, will probably want to celebrate this event with me soon. I have some space in my Saturday.
  12. I'm a fan of Wayne Schiess. https://law.utexas.edu/faculty/wayne-schiess/ Attended a small presentation of his recently, and found myself nodding and saying "PREACH!" out loud several times, like it was Sunday at an AME church.
  13. Say what y'all want, Tito was a magnificent talent.
  14. Oh, we're just getting started. Wait till we start talking about the reversible error that happened during voir dire, and how the appellate panel fucked up, so we're looking to get the court to hear the appeal en banc. That's right, bitches....we gots us law FRENCH, too.
  15. I mean....he probably could have used some more votes. So, he didn't really have EVERYTHING he needed to win.
  16. This morning's NPR was interviewing some Trumpy voters on their thoughts on VP nominee. One of them suggested Tucker Carlson, because "it'd be funny to see everyone's heads explode." These are not serious people. Yet.....they may yet control this country. We are not a good country, we are not a good people.
  17. Don't we have amphibious ships (landing ships etc.) that could deliver smaller loads directly to the beach? I guess the security issues are too much for that, though: crowds would rush them, occupants might be attacked, and we sure don't want American forces firing at a crowd to get away. Just frustrating all the way around.
  18. I'm gonna presume some epic boobs. Because this is the internet.
  19. Don't make us take this thread where it was always meant to go......
  20. Did you offer the defendants a 7-10 split settlement?
  21. Yeah....in one of mine, we were on a break in the hearing where the judge had ordered us all into the jury room to see if we could work out a resolution. The party on the other side was a W. Texas oilpatch dude who was very used to getting his way, and was ripshit pissed that he wasn't getting it in that case. I was sitting in a chair, leaned back and offering our terms. He came at me, fists balled up and ready to go. I remember watching him and thinking "he's gonna punch me while I'm sitting here in this chair. That'll hurt.....but goddamned if we won't be in the driver's seat on this case after that." His attorney also grasped what was going on, and jumped to his feet to steer his client away. Not sure if I'm glad he did....woulda made for a cooler story if he followed through and left the court in handcuffs.
  22. Last night, while I was driving some clients from a client dinner, we drove by one of two courthouses in this state where I have come THIS close to getting into a fistfight. Didn't start either confrontation....but I was ready to finish 'em. It's Texas, that shit happens from time to time. I bet you lean heavily on "heretofore, "whereas," and "in the instant question." Supra.
