What they’re doing is obstruction of justice, which gets you to the same place as perjury if you have honest people conducting the process.
It’s not actually some clever loophole they’ve discovered or anything. The laws account for this. It’s just that the laws don’t matter if the people administering them are corrupt enough to ignore them.
You are being kind when you write that they are "ignoring them (laws)", implying that they are running around independently attempting to save their own skins and just happen to have a similar mode of doing so that happens to somehow coincide with everybody else's. This is an orchestrated and deliberate effort where their is actual collusion among the participants.

Highland Electronics had some good ones back in the 80's. When the commander says "slovar" =surface at :17..I had a Russian speaking friend tell me that "Slovar" =dictionary. 50 watts per channel baby cakes.

This stuff works.
I typically eat one meal a day during the week (late dinner). During the week, the only workouts I have are two days of of 1.5 hours of indoor bouldering followed by one hour of yoga. On the weekend I might do some nominal body weight stuff restricted to some air squats, push ups pull up and planks or go climbing outdoors, but only if I feel like it.
Just like everybody else I am prone to over drinking or eating too late or having an occasional injury which interrupts things.
I can (age 53 next week) maintain a weight of 185lbs at 5'11" pretty easily and can get to the mid 170's with some alcohol cessation and a little more attention to the diet, but it is not easy. As I have gotten more into rock climbing (my youngest kids are nationally competitive climbers) I find myself really wanting to get lighter as the sport places high demands on the feet with tiny footholds that penalize you greatly over those that weigh less since you get the same number of square inches to establish a foothold without necessarily giving you any reward for any additional upper body strength or reach.
Fasting is no magic bullet, though, especially once you get down to a weight where you have ~15% or less body fat.
From my own research, the main benefits are from giving your body a break from producing insulin. When I work out or climb I usually do it in a fasted sate and it does not bother me at all.
Alas, the holidays have not been kind, so this thread hits close to home as they say.

I still can't believe we're getting a "Space Force."
Despite the ridiculous name, this is something that was in the works and desired by DoD and NASA for awhile, at least according to the NPR story I heard. Of course this is right up Trumps alley and its almost impossible to believe that this is not something he cooked up.

I ride my Sondors electric bike in bathrobe and slippers to get coffee on weekends. Often pass a group of spandex warriors going up hill On the way back. You can smell the hate.
I kind of get the same looks when at the deer lease and I don't bother to get out of my pajamas and slippers when I go to the blind. Meanwhile everybody else is all camouflaged up like they are are going to be tracking Caribou across the Northwest Territory instead of shooting corn trained whitetails from a commercial blind at 30 paces.

Headed back to "The Red" in Spring 2020 for family spring break trip. It will be interesting to see how much the kids have grown as climbers since two years ago.
The 13 yo went back to the "red" in summer 2019 and sent a 5.12d on lead and we have friend whose 11 yo has done a 5.13a on lead but that was in Spain(will also be on red trip). Should be an interesting trip with 11 year olds duking it out. I bet all three get 5.13a or better on lead.
The old man will be trying for a 5.10a on lead. Damn kids.
Also, my kids just advanced to the Divsional round of bouldering where they will compete to go to the national competition in Oregon.

Why would anyone wage war on a fake holiday attributing the springtime birth of a human to the date of the Roman solstice holiday "Saturnalia" as a way of assimilating conquered and brutalized natives to yet another new religion with new dieties sometime around the 4th century?
Should we also be waging war on the Athenian holidays of Anthesteria, Apaturia, Dionysia, and just to follow with our mysoginistic society Thesmophoria too? Why not? Let's wage war on it all.
Years ago my pastor, a monsignor in the catholic church, laid out this very history on the exact origins of the Christmas Holiday, in a sermon no less.

As opposed to all those other masses that are so upbeat and boisterous, we gotta be solemn this one time in Church? Anyway, wife wants the whole family to go, but I'm gonna still be hungover in San Antonio on January 1st.
War on Solemnity! Solemnity Now, Insanity Later!
...to say nothing of the various feast days, immaculate conception, minor visitations, apparitions, and other shrine holidays like Fatima, Guadalupe, Lourdes, Medjugorje as well as the whole rosary deal. That Mary really gets around.

Is there some law that says you can’t ride a bike wearing a pair of cutoffs and a t-shirt anymore. Do you really need to be aerodynamic to pedal around town.
A few years ago I was nursing a groin injury and it prevented me from doing any sprint (running) training. As a substitute I bought an old Marin mountain bike off of Craigslist and was able to find a nice hill for cycle sprints in a new subdivision going in about a mile away. This area is kind of rural but we get bike traffic groups coming through all the time.
It seemed like every time I was on the way to my hill sprints I would pass a group of not so in shape cyclists loaded up with all kinds of crazy gear. I was wearing some gym shorts and a baseball cap and I had a water bottle. Got a few dirty looks.

Besides Texas, I lived in Arky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Florida as a kid, as well as a couple of years in in North Dakota, and ND was by far, the most racist of places. The others were not even. They loved the money my dad’s employer (oil) brought in, and while there were plenty of supposedly good folks there, the fucking racist shitheads were openly racist. Other places we lived at, the racists would at least look over their shoulder before putting their garbage beliefs into display. But not in ND. That’s why I was happy to see the oil boom of the past few years, because that brought a shitload more minorities into ND, far more than we did in the ‘80s.
My wife is from South Dakota. Her brother lives in Minneapolis, and has a cabin on a small lake in Wisconsin. Every year we make a family road trip up to Minneapolis and then on to the cabin for a week of relaxing, fishing, wake boarding, drinking, and all American summer fun. All the grown ups get along and the cousins do to. It is really a good time.
Without fail, every year on this road trip my wife and I have this conversation where she brings up much nicer the little farms and ranches in Minn, Wisc., SD are with their fur tree wind breaks, lush mowed pastures, and general well kept appearance are than the ones in Texas with our trailer homes, abandoned cars, scrub, and deteriorating fences. I gotta say overall she is right about that.
However, when I make that drive every summer I see three times the number of Confederate flags that I do in Texas...and I see quite a few in Texas, especially at the beach. Every one I see up there I point out to the Mrs., just out of state pride.
As a side note: Kansas truck stops have the most MAGA gear.

I recently read the book "Factfullness" by Hans Rosling which addressed this very issue of natural disaster deaths. I could not find the graph that was in the book, but the first 3 minutes of his TED talk covers it among other things.

Additionally, the the story the R's like to also weave is that the tax cut would increase govt revenue through lower taxation of significantly more taxable income thereby reducing the deficit and growing the economy. This was the same song and dance that Reagan started with "supply side" economics, which George Bush I colorfully termed "voodoo" economics.
The policy is based on an economic truism which somehow got spun as a theory known as the Laffer Curve, which simply states that there is a relationship between taxation and government revenue and that there exist an optimal rate of taxation that maximizes government revenue that is somewhere between 0% and 100% taxation. The thing that makes this policy sell is that there is some truth to it depending on where one believes we are on the curve. If we are to the right of the optimal point on the curve and are taxing too much, then a tax reduction would in fact increase revenue. Also, any tax cut will in fact stimulate the economy in the short term, but the question is whether they stimulate it enough to pay for themselves both short and long term. Of course most voters have no idea of any of these subtleties.
The dangerous thing about this policy, aside from the fact that evidence has shown that we are already to left of the optimal point on the curve, is that it is easy and produces "sugar high" results in the short term as evidenced by increase in stock price and a stimulated economy while further accumulating wealth at the very top end and further increasing the deficit. If one is only concerned about getting reelected then it is a perfect strategy although grossly negligent and irresponsible.
