  1. A great first effort C-Man, but a few touches can turn that A to an A+
  2. Bold is not correct. Fudge Nuggets is wrong. C-man must be remembering that Twice quite correctly pointed out that we did not know then if her initial mistakes were the result of Trump friendly shenanigans - or whether she was screwing up this case just like she had previously screwed up other non-Trump cases…..because she is completely inexperienced/unqualified and also apparently bigly dumb. IOW, the possibility remained back then that her initial rulings were a case of Hanlon's razor, an adage that states: “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.” Nobody said ‘all was well’, just that maybe a different reason remained that explained why her initial getting things wrong might be attributed to the same reasons she got the other non-Trump cases wrong - she was known to be unqualified and stupid. We now have a more complete record and it would be silly for anyone to conclude at this point that her fat ugly thumb was not firmly on the scale for Trump. I award you both cookies for your early, now-confirmed, certainty of her douchebaggery. But don’t create alternate facts in order to pat yourself on the back harder.
  3. Also - some 1975 Hustler magazine, but I can’t say I remember the name
  4. Wow! So time travel is a thing?
  5. Apropos to nothing - I just got back from the House of Blues in the French Quarter, watching Chris Isaak and his band with my son. Lots of boomers, naturally, but a surprising number of young people, including two smoking hot lipstick lesbians right in front of me, who were making out to Wicked Game. Turn off the TV people, and you non-Austin types go find some live music in your town.
  6. We have enough real world negative problems without you creating fictional new ones all the time. Also, you need to learn the difference between defending and explaining. I cannot say, if Trump will be guilty or not, but I can say that the system is working perfectly in this case, and that the judge and the prosecutor and the appellate courts and “the system” is so far working perfectly. There have been no bullshit rulings, and everything has been on the up and up. Of course, you will ignore the 100 correct rulings that have happened so far in this case and latch on to one if it’s not to your liking as an example of the corrupt system. That does not mean I don’t agree we should repeatedly keelhaul Alito using the Constitution….the frigate, I mean.
  7. I felt good for a moment because I remembered that the Althing was probably OK….. then I remembered the volcano.
  8. Spirit has a cheap direct flight from New Orleans to Cancun. I leave New Orleans mid morning and have lunch on Isla Mujeres. I normally pack dry wick type clothes and swimsuits in my carry-on (in a vacuum/deflated bag.) It makes for an easy cheap and fun four day weekend with no gouge fees. The in-air shenanigans have been minor, and I can put up with a whole bunch for just one hour. The fact that you need a passport seems to be a filter that removed some of the Walmart element.
  9. Several decades ago I was at Yellowstone and I watched some moron rip up some long grass into a kind of bouquet and then walk up to an elk with the grass as if he was going to feed it. The elk lowered his head and started stamping his hooves, and I thought the guy was dead. I screamed.”STOP! That elk will kill you!!!”. As the guy turned to look at me and dropped eye contact with the elk, the elk suddenly turned and trotted away. The guy’s wife yelled at me for “ruining the picture.”
  10. Yes. Every single one of the 50 states’ Bars act the exactvsame way. The bar associations of individual federal district courts act the same way, no matter where you are in the country. Even though they claim to actually follow different rules, you have correctly surmised that every single one is the same and will do nothing. That is why you are so wise.
  11. My dad always told me, “try to avoid getting into a bar fight with someone who looks like their nose has been broken several times.” if you extrapolate a soccer hooligan’s broken nose to Marge’s entire bad built butch body, you really need to walk away before she demonstrates why, genetically, Denisovans do not feel pain. It is both a superpower and the reason that they mostly died out as a species….they never learned to tap out.
  12. No President can be President without that…. Washington and Jefferson would’ve been convicted after leaving office - because they allowed micro plastics to be injected into their slave babies. Everybody knows that.
  13. Not hurt at all. And it was not my intent in any way to criticize your liking his music. My point was that Nugent has always been an asshole. Someone like Alice Cooper was just doing a shtick. I’ve always thought Nugent was the persona he portrayed on stage. And you are correct; Why would I need to comment on the wokeness of the lyricist who wrote “Wang Dang Sweet Poontang. “ ( Trivia: Nugent stiffed the cowriter out of writing credits and the money for Stranglehold )
  14. I hear you homes. But it seemed clear that Costello was trying to get Cohen to retain him for improper purposes. I do not think the bar would ignore a conviction for a hiring a hitman on the basis that the murder never occurred. The attempt is kind of the thing. I guess I am wrestling with the fact that he was trying to get Cohen on board with an avowed secret intent to have a non-waivable conflict of interest in that representation. Since the attempt was in writing, like an email to a potential hitman, I’m wondering if the lack of success of the attempted bad act will be defensible. Mostly, I’d like to see a grievance brought just to see what they’d say - and to have that shithead squirm a bit and have his reputation besmirched even more. No prosecutor will even have to say it, but the collection of smarmy, dishonest, reprehensible Trump confidants (like Costello, Giuliani and Cohen) paraded before them will be a thing that the jury cannot ignore - they all work for the lying shithead in orange and all behave in a way that his firm culture dictates - which would seem to support Trump‘s Stormy misdemeanoring/felony-ish behavior as a just another day at work in Trump World. It will not be a jury instruction and possibly not a direct point on close (not sure the propriety of that) but I think every juror will carry that perception with them into the jury room.
  15. i’m not sure about all that law stuff, but if Costello was either representing or attempting to represent Cohen - all the while secretly working for Giuliani and Trump to let them know what Cohen was up to - that seems to be an itsy-bitsey, teeny-weenie sort of, kinda ethics problem that someone needs to point out to Costello’s state bar grievance committee.
  16. As Deano sang: “Walking thru hot magma steam, Well you know you’re not dreaming, Maestro Scusami, but you see Back in old Napoli, that's volcano!”
  17. I have to say they killed it on Saturday Night Live.
  18. Meanwhile…. After school daycare is about to close.
  19. Don’t forget to offer Sherry with the soup.
