Somehow I feel like this Epstein shit won’t even make it onto the radar of the general public.

How is claiming he’s the party who has been aggrieved not valid in a case where the guy is claiming a 3rd party entity, in which he has no financial stake, edits or doesn’t edit an interview (which he’d have to prove they did and isn’t industry home), and that it directly harmed him somehow? Wouldn’t every political ad ever be subject to this suit if a network chose to air it and he disagreed with it? It feels like standing is an issue to me.

SushiHorn loooooves TargetSmart. Great. As I said, Im not a lawyer. Can you try this in English or do you want to keep speaking in Klingon?

Not a lawyer, but what’s the standing here?

That's not entirely my experience, and that's also not the experience of some gay men on this thread. Obviously your mileage may vary.

AtlasIntel was one of the best 2020 pollsters?!?

It's defiinitely miserable, but it is effectively keeping the hopeium and the doom effectively separate.

Scientology got tax exempt status by suing the fuck out the IRS repeatedly. AFter they fucking failed to infiltrate the IRS with agents that were Scientologists. They had hundreds of millions of dollars at the time in free cash, even though they owed the IRS a Billion Dollars when they started the lawsuits and massive media campaign, etc. It seems to me that smaller Baptist, and Evangelical churches have the opposite situation, and it's a vulnerability. The IRs should revoke their status, or challenge it, and take each little fucking church without ties to a massive organization and make them pay the fucking attorney fees to prove they didn't violate the law. Oh, you violated it and go bankrupt? Ok, well, we're going to take a real hard look at the brand new church you try to open up right down the street when you apply for tax exempt status. If you were a documened member and applying for the new church? NO dice, 10 year blacklist. You recruit completely new people with a clean record to be the face of the new church? Well ok, each new church gets a 5 year probationary period where you can get your shit revoked for violating the law, and you'll owe back taxes as a result. The SBC loves being a loose organization without overall ties so they can continue to diddle kids and suffer no consequecnes, well, guess what, that means you don't have shared resources to legally defend each fucking church that violates the fucking law. Your big churches like Second Bapstist would probably be just fine. They have resources. But the little ones would get fucked. And eventually they'd have a hard time recruiting new cut-outs to sign their names on the Tax Exempt documents. So by default...these guys would probably just end up...following the fucking law. I'm sure some smaller congretations where every member is a die hard trumper would survive and not leak anything...but a lot wouldn't. Make them fucking work for it. I'm so sick of the poison of organized religion fucking politics more than it's already fucked.

I I dunno. It had Harris up by like 16% in PA, or some outrageously high number? I'm totally cool if it ends up being 9%. Hell, even 7%.

If that's anyone's asshole, I've got to say, that asshole has seem some fucking things. Gaping, colostomy bag inducing things.

I'd respond with "Well, the person who you also consider your president called this entire country a garbage can. Why didn't that bother you?"

I can't even open this thread anymore.

I read the comments on the thread and the fucking people arguing their positions is illustrative that we will polarize everything in this country. Even this shit. Fucking Springfield versus Shelbyville.

My son is about to turn 7. Diversity isn't really a problem, but I'd love a thread to discuss what you've done to keep your boys mentally well adjusted and grounded.

It would have to be a hell of a higher salary for me to be able to afford California. I'd move in a heartbeat otherwise. Pirate.

This is the world's biggiest full of shit false choice. It's fucking pathetic. And no one will turn it around. "Hey, if you'd just give back the rights you literally took away 4 years ago, you could avoid a nuclera war!" Fucking dispshits. I take my kid to school or pick him up at least a couple times a week. The route is always the same. This week, for the first time, I saw a very Prominent RFK/Shanahan sign. Hasn't been there before, very difficult for me to miss becuase it's right next to a house with some F Ted Cruz signage. I'm still perplexed...like, you waited until NOW to put our your already dated RFK sign? Like, WTF is going on there? I know, I know, CSB. Roy Cohn famously, repeatedly, said his goal in life was to die massively in debt to the Government. Seems like a familiar playbook. WTF are you doing posting positive shit?

I mean, I understand the sentiment, but that would basically actually start violence. Also, I'm hoping she wins by a fuckton of votes, not one.

I have similar thoughts, but they don't last long when I realize the uncertainty and pain that comes with it, which will inevitably be felt by my wife and kid, not to mention my fucking self, and the millions of other folks in this country the right deems as sub-human. If I were single and childless and still as short sighted as I was in my 20's...

Well, he's been cosplaying as a "winner" his entire life, but I'll let you be the judge of how effective that's been.

As it fucking should.

It worked better with quote from the OP, imo.

A Bennigan's Rueben was a staple of my childhood. That being said, for awhile, they also had a burger called The Wheelhouse that had a fried cheese circle, the size of the burger, on top of the patty. How that fucking stroke of genius hasn’t been copied and replicated everywhere remains one of life’s great mysteries for me.

I saw we make him move back to Texas.

Republicans can’t fucking just snap back and pretend like the last 8 years didn’t happened. They need to wander in the fucking desert for 10-15 fucking years being a laughingstock minority. Do I think that will happen? No. But it should, and Arnold is too good for those fucks.

I mean, craven and pussy are the same thing.
