Correct me if I am wrong, but the current hearing is the defense asking the judge to dismiss the indictment with prejudice, due to malicious prosecution. (I'm hazy on the terms there.). Since that is very rarely granted, I am curious if the judge might just say there is no valid indictment to dismiss, and sidesteps the bigger question on whether the prosecution overall is malicious.

I'm going to assume you've never worked at any places I've worked. I know plenty of boomer/gen-x types who are working 60 hour weeks. I ain't one of them because I fully recognize the company will take all that the company can.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to the opinion that bad people is more about bad situations and bad brain chemistry. Jesus’s message to not judge, just love, rings truer as I get balder. But I’d still beat the shit out of Stephen Miller given the chance.

Follow-up question: how would that affect her eventual Supreme Court nomination?

Here is where we learn the difference between figuratively (Paxton) and literally (Bondi).

He always has that look of someone trying to not look stoned, and failing.

I assume you can veto it, but it would go back to Congress to override. Which would force an override vote, giving Republicans and decision to either side with President or get re-elected. I assume Trumps signs it, releases a portion, and the fights the rest - either legally or illegally. Because who is going to force him.

Going back to the elections earlier this year, it's worth mentioning Katie Wilson's defeat of Bruce Harrell in the Seattle mayoral election. While Seattle isn't nearly the size of NYC, her election surprised me much more than Mamdani's. Harrell is a moderate Democrat. The two biggest things I disagreed with him on was that he was more aggressive on clearing homeless camps and that he refused to put in traffic calming measures (speed bumps, cross walks) on a road near my house that is popular with pedestrians and bikers. Wilson, is okay with being called a Democratic Socialist, had pushed for a payroll tax, had previously pushed for defunding the police, and is big into mass transit. I don't think she's ever held public office. I'm not sure if this Facebook post will show, but she had previously been struggling with daycare expenses. She may be the most surprising mayor of a major city that I can think of. Of the People, by the People, for the People. Facebook post picture below. "After much deliberation and a grueling interview process, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve accepted a new job and will not need any financial support from my parents to cover the high costs of childcare going forward. #AmericanDream #thisisyourcity"

I remember Black Nazis. Donald was just getting his heroes confused.

He won't be anymore. https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/border-patrol-agent-dead-overdose-arrest-video-b2865508.html I have sympathy for his family. I have more sympathy for the families he terrorized.

I'm guessing Trump doesn't like the Vindman twins. For those who don't recall, Alexander had testified to Congress leading up to Trump's first impeachment regarding his blackmail of Zelensky. Eugene was on the NSC and had forwarded the "perfect phone call" transcript to White House lawyers. It is entirely possible he will be involved in the third impeachment of Trump, if the Dems can take the House in 26. I knew Eugene was running in 24, but didn't realized he won. I wasn't reading much news in the election aftermath.

My guess is the House version was pretty broad, without much in the way of cutouts. That is probably why he wanted the amendments - something to give the Administration some flexibility in what they released. I just think it's funny he voted for something he didn't want to become law.

Omaha Public Power District just announced they expect a 5-9% increase on rates, per year, through the end of the decade. No mention of the Facebook and Google data centers recently developed in the service area in the release.
