  1. Maybe something like this? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4095014/Members-Trump-s-inner-circle-wearing-triangle-pin-identify-Secret-Service.html
  2. Yeah very probably. The boat strikes and general purpose South American hostilities unfortunately bear a strong enough resemblance to shit we've done under the War on Terror that it's probably colorably legal/lawful to many military commanders (that is acts of war against hazily defined non-state enemies without congressional authorization). Domestic deployment of the military may be a whole other kettle of fish entirely.
  3. Just floors me how anyone can take that bitch seriously.
  4. There is one real scary aspect of that. The stay decision depended on an interpretation of the phrase "unable to enforce federal law using regular forces" or something very similar, with regular forces being the key phrase. The parties assumed regular forces meant civil authorities like cops and ICE. The amicus law professor brought up that historically, that meant the regular military. So the upshot is that POTUS can only mobilize/deploy the Guard when the regular military is insufficient. And that means there must be some exception to the Posse Comitatus Act that would allow domestic deployment of the military before the Guard can come in. Trumpco argued Insurrection Act, SCOTUS said nuh uh, tentatively. So that decision may actually encourage Trump to attempt to use the regular military domestically. I don't know that they really have the stomach for that, but we'll see.
  5. https://www.chicagotribune.com/2020/12/23/trump-commutes-20-year-sentence-of-former-chicago-area-nursing-home-mogul-convicted-in-massive-medicaid-fraud/
  6. Klint Kubiak. Perfecto.
  7. That looks like it might be a brown recluse bite. They can get pretty gnarly left untreated. https://www.verywellhealth.com/brown-recluse-bites-1298284
  8. If you mean by being overconfident and maybe distracted in the off-season and doing some things that in hindsight are/were regrettable, I think you may be exactly right.
  9. As noted elsewhere, I think they're seeing some horrific internal polling for midterms. So he's pretty sure he's going to lose the House, at minimum. So it won't be the complete Donald show next Christmas.
  10. That last sentence seems like it might indicate some horrific internal polling.
  11. I am officially intrigued by the seat-cover/upholstery and the old school seat belt buckle.
  12. For federal civil rights cases, there's no issue of sovereign immunity, at least of the State paying damages.
  13. The Jews have been strange bedfellows for MAGA all along The most basic tenets of MAGA would seem to lead them to being called Christ-killing kikes on the reg. But then, so have the mackerel snappers, the beaners, the curryheads and chinks.
  14. Nailed it.
  15. I've spent about half my career as a litigator and the most inevitable and unavoidable thing is delay. Sometimes, you get excited about a case and forget that it's gonna be 3-4-5 years until it's resolved. I fucked up and let myself get optimistic about the Trump prosecutions, because I thought they were righteous and Jack Smith did a great job. But apart from the "ah, well, nevertheless" component, the delay was going to sink those cases if he was elected in November 2024. They were going to end up exactly where they got -- dismissed. And even apart from Trumpkins' ability to rationalize any convictions along the way, the dismissals were going to swallow it all whole.
  16. Just like the New York cases.
  17. Truth is, though, if DOJ had acted on January 22, 2021, Trump wouldn't have been convicted or finally (appeal exhaustion) before November 4, 2024. And, even if by some miracle he had at least been convicted at trial, it wouldn't have made a single, solitary shit.
  18. Guess he's never seen this, either. Or forgot.
  19. Helluva news site you got there. I guess since you don't exit your echo chamber:
  20. Like the FIST of an angry God.
  21. Probably some truth to this. The one thing normal FBI agents are better at than your average cops, it's preparing evidence/a case for trial. Even the feebs, if not the DOJ lawyers, should know how to produce flattened or image pdfs with proper redactions. They may well have sandbagged.
  22. Except question marks.
  23. Shadow docket decision on application to stay the trial court's injunction. Unsigned opinion for the Court, Kavanaugh concurring in judgment. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/25a443_ba7d.pdf Alito and Thomas, of course, dissenting. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/25a443_ba7d.pdf#page=8 Gorsuch dissenting on separate grounds. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/25a443_ba7d.pdf#page=24
  24. It's a common lawdog rookie mistake when producing documents. Also don't send a redline version of a word doc to opposing counsel unless you intend to (the redlines really never go away unless you strip metadata). Once you've seen the mistake made, it sticks with you. Unless you're a bunch of fucktards hired by Trump.
