  1. Break this bitch open.
  2. To me, it’s a matter of degree. If you have a core belief that business and our economy doing well as what’s best for the country and the source of the continued health of our democracy and nation, then you can reconcile yourself with GOP policies that may have hurt the little guy to some extent if it led to a robust economy. If you view a good economy as the key to all good things in our country, you can surely overlook individual instances where people on the low economic end of the spectrum (here, read minorities ) take a hit from some of the policies. That is completely different to seeing millions of undocumented immigrants who are good neighbors contributing to the economy and helping that precious economy being treated like criminals, regardless of their being in the country for decades, not causing any harm, but helping out established businesses in many industries that require undocumented labor because citizen white people don’t want to do it - then the combination of the assault on the economy and the destruction of many industries, combined with horrific human suffering on a bunch of people in a scale exceeding what you were willing to put up with previously would lead a rock rib,old school republican to turn on the current guys. I always consider myself the last Rockefeller Republican on earth, and thought that conservative business models combined with progressive social issues was the way to go. As long as that business model was not bullshit trickle down. Which is all to say - I could see how those guys came from where they were to where they are.
  3. Kavan! Out fucking standing Horns.
  4. How do you say “rude” in Italian?
  5. The team that is a <checks notes> baseball team? Last year we needed the final season series to get to .500 to accept a bid. Which took us to the semifinals in Omaha. Tournament time is always interesting because everyone is usually starting their ace and can be a one game Superman. Sucky teams like ‘24 Florida can beat better teams to win a regional and super regional. There is nothing about ‘25 Florida that says a suckier team can’t beat us. We were 1-11 in conference to start the year. i’m just happy we got a bid and some tournament experience to help us in future years. And I’m not sure how many people there are in your “we”. There aren’t that many people that usually jump on the Helobious opinion train.
  6. I think Trump is mixing them up with Japan - you know - since they all look alike.
  7. i’m fighting a dismissal of a case that one of our younger lawyers botched at the trial court . On appeal, the other side’s opposition brief contained multiple statements of fact that were just completely false. And by that I mean, not the normal spinning true facts to the point of breaking stuff that lawyers do, but just flat out false stuff. On one point I was making they told the court I failed to cite any cases for my proposition. Actually, I had cited three cases - and a fourth case in our particular appellate jurisdiction commenting with favor on one of the three cases from another appellate court. We are fighting about an affidavit being excluded, and their brief said that I had never explained which of the individual averments in the affidavit I thought were improperly excluded. WTF?? In reality, I pointed out several of them and discussed why I thought they were improperly excluded. They also made a statement about basic hornbook law on comparative fault that was so incredibly stupid and wrong that no lawyer would’ve asserted that stupidity. It then dawned on me that maybe some associate used AI to draft it - and that the partner who filed it had not reviewed it. I pointed out in my reply brief how all of that was false, and suggested that it was an unintentional misrepresentation caused by the use of AI. Well, that will not make me friends with opposing council, but I don’t think I should have to respond to absolute bullshit falsehoods just because an associate is too lazy to write their own brief. I have used the AI feature on Westlaw for legal research, and while it is helpful, it gets all kinds of things wrong and can’t really get the procedural posture of all the parties right all of the time. There is a warning to check your work because they cannot guarantee the AI response is correct. And yet there is always some dumb son of a bitch who will cut and paste it into their work and send it on. It looks like a real problem.
  8. "I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.”
  9. Nonsense. They knew they were black when they came over here.
  10. This is reason eleventy-billion why I love Surly.
  11. Weird, but as much as I did not want Oklahoma to win, it is extremely satisfying knowing that so many Tennessee fans are suffering after an excruciating loss. I can never really feel bad about that. Fuck everything associated with that school.

  13. Plaintiffs have a week to say why the stay is bullshit, Trump has until June 9 to explain why the three Satan worshiping child abusing judicial activists were wrong and should be hung. Trump told the appellate court that they were going to run to daddy in the Supreme Court by Friday to make the bad people in the lower courts go away. So I’m assuming that they will not ask the Supreme Court to do anything until after June 9 now - whenever the circuit court rules on the request for a stay pending resolution of the appeal. If the circuit court doesn’t grant a stay, I assume they run to the Supreme Court then. And it looks like the circuit court has stayed Trump from changing any currently implemented tariff positions until it’s all figured out. But at least business interests have the clarity on tariffs that they so deeply desire.
  14. Interesting group. A large bucket of current Biden and Obama appointees, and a whole bunch of Reagan and Bush judges on senior status. I guess they will hear that second case invalidating Trump‘s tariff authority as well.
  15. Yeah, the “Godly inspired act to prevent black and brown men from whistling at white women” is probably being drafted by Stephen Miller as we speak. It probably wasn’t filed yet because they are trying to find the right verbiage to allow the death penalty.
  16. if you go by that theory, you should pencil in a loss to Oklahoma for Texas. I hope you are wrong, because I don’t want Oklahoma to win another one, and I don’t wanna keep losing to Texas in softball.
  17. ewe think your sum smart, butt voice softwear nos best
  18. This does not jive with part of the decision that says that Congress can only delegate the tariff authority if direction and limitations accompany that grant of authority. This, of course, ignores the ancient common law exception of Clarence needing a newer, nicer RV.

    You’d have to address this to someone who has lived and voted in Florida since the 80s Which ain’t me.
  20. I’m unfortunately working today with some deadlines, so I did not see the game. Congrats on the win. I hope you win the rest of your games ……unless you play us again.
