  1. The semicolon talk is almost exhausted
  2. The Louisiana governor signed the law that says that every drunk, dumb angry Boudreaux in the state can now conceal carry without a license. It goes into effect July 4. What a wonderful sensible idea to let people go to Academy and buy a firearm with no training whatsoever, no range time or practicing, and carry that gun anywhere they want. The better news is that these new concealed carry people will not have spent a minute looking at all the numerous exclusions that prohibit concealed carry contained in the statute. I have a concealed carry license, close to a dozen handguns, and this stupid shit drives me crazy. I expect a lot of deaths involving bad seafood and LSU losses
  3. Probably enough GOP gravy seals have shot themselves at the range that this may swing the vote in his favor? “He’s just like me!”
  4. Maybe the part where he planned it, picked the target, picked the time, provided the weapons and transportation to the home played some minor part in that. There was also that thing instead of telling his followers to “be there, it will be wild”, he said, “go kill these people”. Most states follow the felony murder doctrine. Each state can adopt its own flavor. Which means you can be convicted of first-degree murder in some states, and avoid a murder conviction entirely in other states for the same conduct. It is almost like the actual state laws play a part in the criminal trial.

  6. All I see today in Maga world is roostering around crowing about the alleged 50 million Trump brought in in his fundraiser. There are two things about this: the first is that Trump always lies, and so no one can know the actual number. There is a difference between pledged and cash on hand in any fundraiser. The second thing is that Reuters shares this tiny tidbit with us. ”The dinner, hosted at billionaire hedge fund manager John Paulson's Palm Beach home, will allocate a portion of the money to be raised to a fund that has spent tens of millions of dollars on Trump's legal fees.” lol. The Trump campaign is not gonna see much of that money. It is going to his legal fees. By saying “a portion” instead of a percentage that makes stealing 99% for his legal fees non-fraudulent. Because a shit ton portion is still a portion. And in any event, this, plus the money sucked out of the RNC will not be for down ballot races, or in state organization. it looks like Trump’s get out the vote efforts will be him sitting in Florida telling people not to send in mail in ballots, but be sure to show up to the polls on election day.
  7. Semicologuard will detect early onset.
  8. Co-sign. Back in the early 80s there was some dive diner where all the taxi cab drivers went after shift that served the best Hangtown Fry you’ve ever had. It was my drunk go-to late a.m. food requirement. Love that city. From funky Chinatown eats where nobody speaks English To the Dada-esqe Pike Street stuff To the touristy Space Needle that a fuck’n love.
  9. Counterpoint: I don’t think anybody has ever accused Surly of being sentient.
  10. I may, or may not be under the influence of herbal medication, but is there a way you could present some sort of bastardize motion to suppress/ with the thing you want to suppress the use of the improper presidential records, act defense? Then you file a motion in limine on essentially the same subject. It seems like she would quickly bite on denying the motion to suppress. In Louisiana practice, a court will look at whatever counsel calls it and disregard that if need be - and look at the substance of the request and redesignate the motion to the proper procedural vehicle. if we don’t know what the hell to call it, then file it and call it something else and let the appeals court decide what to do with it.
  11. it is certainly a more than worrisome dilemma. However, the easier response above is often worse for everybody. Following the rule of law despite the public says we should ignore it just this one time is a sound way to go. Having said that, If the election result is not attributed to democracy, but to Trump’s clear illegality, corruption and manipulation of the system, then there is a good faith argument for a different response.
  12. ??? The only thing my comment was directed to was the speed with which SCOTUS took up the Colorado 14th amendment case. if he wins because of clearly illegal manipulation of the system, that is one thing. If he wins because the majority of the voting populous is so stupid they will vote for him no matter what the truth - or the clear lies and hate pouring out of his mouth - then the reason would be “democracy”. if the latter, then people opposing that election would be the insurrectionists.
  13. let us not rashly rule out rogue orcas
  14. This would put Trump and his minions on the actual moral and correct side of the law if they were to engage in a Civil War after this happened. Lincoln also did the equivalent of putting the Fox News organization in jail, or at least shutting down their operations during the war. Lincoln absolutely violated the constitution in a number of fundamental and abhorrent ways. We can’t devolve to a scenario where we are doing things just as constitutionally inappropriate as he did, or Trump does now, because, “our team.”. “Because it helps my side” is not a reason to do unconstitutional things. I am not a serious student of Lincoln, but I have never run across anything that led me to believe that Lincoln’s several unconstitutional executive orders during the Civil War was key to our winning that war. It certainly drove some Lincoln supporters into Lincoln opponents because of him doing that I don’t think those are options we need to consider. Every one of us sitting here bitching about this needs to track down 10 non-registered people and get them to vote - and have each of them track down people and get them to register to vote. And then we all vote the fuck stick away from politics for the rest of his life, and his followers will give up and go away without him as a figurehead. If not, in another 10 or 15 years, most of them will be dead.
  15. It is more like the case where a violent, abusive husband says he is going to kill his wife and she runs out of the house towards you standing there, carrying your loaded 45. If you stand there and do nothing, and watch her be beaten to death, that is not a crime. At least I’m not aware of any crime that would fit the bill. I am aware of cases that say that law-enforcement is not criminally liable for failing to stop a crime. And that is their job. It is universally a crime to do something illegal - not to watch others do something illegal and not act. The closest criminal circumstance I can think of would be misprision of a felony, where you have a duty to report a crime you know of, and fail to do so. Which is different from failing to prevent the crime itself and after the fact.
  16. i’m saying I agree with you, but I’m the opposite of the good posters if categories were considered
  17. I agree with this. When you’ve lost the absolutely Not best posters on this board demographic…
  18. Plus, they were actually at a date where they had to issue ballots, and once they made them, they could not retract it so it was paramount that the decision be decided before that event,
  19. I believe he represents mostly Jihadist Universities.
