  1. But yeah, not all blocks are created equal. Sometimes it's more the hitter's fault, other times, it's a great block. Could score it like errors in baseball. Haha.
  2. You could argue that hitting into a block is an attack error.
  3. He's a big fan of the regime, including Elmo, no doubt.
  4. And Stefan Passantino, the lawyer who suborned Cassidy Hutchinson's perjury until she came to Jesus has a similar claim against the January 6 Committee. And his shitass case has been dismissed by the trial court for similar reasons to that of Flynn: his claims sound in defamation and the Tort Claims Act does not waive immunity for such claims. It's on appeal. Politics aside, these cases are dogshit and don't deserve a nickel.
  5. Some fun facts. The United States does not waive its sovereign immunity under the Tort Claims Act for actions for malicious prosecution, UNLESS it is the result of the actions of law enforcement officers and prosecutors are not law enforcement officers for that purpose. Accordingly, Flynn's complaint was dismissed for failure to state a claim and on grounds of sovereign immunity/subject matter jurisdiction because he could not identify a law enforcement officer that maliciously prosecuted him. He was given the right to amend his complaint, a second time. but the judge specifically warned that the complaint must comply with Rule 11. After that order and before filing any amended complaint, all of Flynn's attorneys withdrew despite being from Jesse Binnal's jackleg firm. It's a reasonable inference that they couldn't/wouldn't file a complaint that didn't violate Rule 11 and survive a motion to dismiss. So, his case is absolute legal dogshit and should be fired into the sun. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/66930673/47/flynn-v-united-states/ But Trumpco has been dilly-dallying around keeping the case alive when it should be DOA.
  6. Such a load of shit.
  7. Yeah and that narrator liked to sweep with a real broad brush on "Protestants" versus evangelicals. He was right that, for a variety of reasons, Catholic churches tend to be more strongly tied to their parishes (there's a regional aspect to that that isn't present in other denominations). I didn't see a single Presbyterian, Methodist, or Episcopal church on that list. Or Lutheran for that matter, but they've got Missouri Synod like Presbys have PCA and I guess now Methodists have our own sect of shitheels.
  8. And also, apart from the joy of watching Trump squirm, these documents are ambiguous as fuck and not supplemented with testimony. To the extent there are actually innocent people in there being subjected to innuendo, that's exactly why you don't release investigation evidence that hasn't resulted in an indictment. It's a total shit show. The only thing that makes this a good thing in any real way is that Trump is at the vortex of the shit storm.
  9. To be fair to you corn dogs, LSU is just letting the politicians in the athletics henhouse, at least so far. Aggots are letting them in the classroom.
  10. They could actually crow that they brought all that good stuff back but now illegals are ineligible. Ignoring that they've always been ineligible. Shit, they've already blown the budget and deficit straight to hell, why not tack on a few billion for the people.
  11. Not needling you, I've cited Brooks before. It's just that these "common gooders," typically fundamentalist Cathoiics, do a great job of identifying the problems, but their proposed solutions are too white-hetero-Christian in perspective. https://www.patrickjdeneen.com/ https://archive.blogs.harvard.edu/adrianvermeule/ I think Deneen is more sane than Vermeule.
  12. This is hugely overblown. On the other hand, if your negligence causes a "lifetime injury," say paralysis, like, I dunno, Greg Abbott, the judgment is going to seem pretty huge.
  13. They (the band/ISD) have some kind of public performance license that extends to typical high school football venues, but not to broadcasts, most likely. Also, the broadcaster needs its own license to broadcast copyright content. ASCAP/BMI have/grant licenses tailored to incredibly specific situations. They leave little or no money on the table.
  14. Sorry to hear about that coach. Missed this about the lawsuit. The attorney is a notorious asshole and drunk that represented Rittenhouse until he was let go. Financial and other impropriety follows him wherever he goes.
  15. https://couriernewsroom.com/news/we-created-a-searchable-database-with-all-20000-files-from-epsteins-estate/
  16. Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Secretly Got Money From $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts Or, how crooked politicians get rich. https://www.propublica.org/article/kristi-noem-dhs-ad-campaign-strategy-group
  17. That's an interesting piece. But there's a couple of problems I see with it that may reveal more about Brooks than anything else. The terms "moral" and "morality" are very loaded these days, as is the term "common good." I very much agree that we have overemphasized individuality and lost community in the process. But attempts to "recover" from that often tend to focus on the moralistic rather than the strictly moral. There's a balance in there somewhere.
  18. So, yeah, as a law dog I have ended many letters with this. I can't do it anymore with a straight face. Just sent one off with something else.
  19. "Putting victims first" is so twisted. Just as a general proposition.
  20. Cuz you're doing lots of sinister shit.
  21. Also, some of you whippersnappers may not believe it, but there was a time when it was believed that communicating by email waived attorney-client privilege because there was no expectation of privacy. Therefore, our clients forbade us from emailing them and those in the organization. Sure, emails can be hacked. Phones can also be tapped and mail stolen or read. It's all relatively unlikely. And I think all this Epstein email came straight out of his email account via search warrant. It wasn't hacked.
  22. Well, the owner of BO is only somewhat less of a dickwad than Elmo, so there's that.
  23. Regardless of their actual position, or the concerns of their constituents, being a Republican is easy: Support Trump or do not. If you choose the former, you go along with whatever nonsense he's up to at the moment with no regard for anything else. If you choose the latter, you're likely to get primaried, lose a lot of funding, and probably lose the support of the base in your district or constituency; plus, you're likely to get "Truthed" and given a stupid nickname; and possibly investigated by the DOJ. It's not that easy for Dems.
  24. One of the advantages of emails for attorneys, over phone calls, is that they can put in writing a warning of adverse consequences. It can be a fine line regarding putting that kind of stuff in an email, but protecting yourself from a client who is going to try to say you didn't warn them or advise them can be a paramount consideration.
  25. Game recognize game, yo.
