  1. I probably meant McCabe.
  2. Not to mention he's going to owe all those illegal tariffs back to the payors. So this is going to be a double-hit.
  3. At some point, it seems that a sitting President who uses the civil justice system should waive immunity, at least from civil suits. If the sonofabitch has time to write dirty letters and sue, he can sure as fuck be sued.
  4. Yeah, that's an interesting phenomenon, the battering effect of the waves is worse, but the relatively short period means a ship is less likely to get broken between them. Also kind of interesting, the freshwater environment means the ships last a lot longer, so there were riveted hulls and steam propulsion long past their obsolescence in oceangoing vessels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_St._Marys_Challenger
  5. Still takes four votes to grant cert.
  6. Ugh. Unfortunately, UK defamation laws are considerably more liberal than US because there's no First Amendment and associated public figure/actual malice standard. Still, I'm not sure their laws will "reach" this. The loser pays attorneys fees, though.
  7. Well, it's not like our base is going to vote Republican. It is probably going to be tough on incumbent Ds, though.
  8. Unfortunately, that was procedurally a shitty case to overturn Obergefell. I wouldn't take this as much of a victory. That said, fuck Kim Davis in her goatse ass.
  9. I guess maybe we should point out that a lot of US iron ore was mined in northern Minnesota and Michigan. And that ore was put to use in steelmaking plants in Detroit and Ohio, and places like Gary, Indiana. So, even though they are inland lakes, the routes sailed by the ships were pretty akin to oceangoing routes.
  10. Some fun factoids. "Lakers" were frequently owned as an investment by insurance companies. Edmund Fitzgerald was an insurance executive. It's kind of fascinating to me that Great Lakes shipping developed its own kinds of vessels for bulk transport, mainly iron ore, but also grain. One of the more interesting variants of a lake freighter was the "whaleback."
  11. A couple of tbsp of ACV probably can't do much harm, but probably don't swill it around in your mouth very long. I'm going to guess that it's less pharmacologically active than ivermectin, so less potential to do harm or have unintended side effects. But eating many food substances in regular quantities can have unintended effects. But, it does crack me up when the health nuts claim that naturally occurring (chemical) substances aren't "chemicals." It's all chemicals, all the way down. It does seem, though, that synthesized or refined chemicals can be more dangerous than naturally occurring counterparts.
  12. Powell was only convicted of state offenses, so pardon doesn't reach her. I don't think Giuliani was convicted of anything, but was indicted on a few state crimes, including that Georgia fiasco.
  13. The only thing that might justify this is they think Rs are going to have to eat healthcare cuts more explicitly than if it is rolled up in the shutdown.
  14. There's a book coming out about the wreck that includes the story of the song, which is actually quite interesting. I posted a link to a RS story about it on the GL thread. https://www.amazon.com/Gales-November-Untold-Edmund-Fitzgerald/dp/1324094648
  15. The judges in Oregon and Chicago have found ICE accounts of violence from protestors justifying their own violence to be not credible, which is a polite way of saying complete bullshit. And whose testimony contradicts and belies ICE and CBP? Local cops, mostly, supplemented by video.
