  1. Im sorry, that made me laugh. I got a vision of it.
  2. it's an interesting thought experiment, if it doesn't drive you insane. On the one hand, JDV is a lot smarter than Trump and therefore much more capable. But, as is the grand question, with Trump off the board, what does he do? Keep Trumping or revert to his original, somewhat more sane tendencies? Also, he's insanely unpopular, even among Trump's base. So what can he get done? What does Congress do with Trump off the board?
  3. But we're gonna spend money having the FAA and other agencies reprint those charts. Great government for grownups!
  4. Well, I think it really boils down to names like "democratic socialists," or really even "democratic." In places that succumbed to Soviet communism, the complicit parties were always the "democratic socialists" or something very close to it. It's not a very nuanced thing. But, given that they were also all pretty much beneficiaries of asylum and programs like temporary protected status, you'd think they'd be a bit more sympathetic. Eh, not really. Tengo el mio.
  5. Not in a way that's convictable. Too much grey area on it. Aaand placed in context of the 1600 January 6 pardons, which included the most violent offenders, duly convicted by a jury of their peers. This doesn't even scratch the surface.
  6. Super-mature, adult governance, right here. Great use of federal funds. As such, within 30 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of the Interior shall, consistent with 43 U.S.C. 364 through 364f, take all appropriate actions to rename as the “Gulf of America” the U.S. Continental Shelf area bounded on the northeast, north, and northwest by the States of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida and extending to the seaward boundary with Mexico and Cuba in the area formerly named as the Gulf of Mexico. The Secretary shall subsequently update the GNIS to reflect the renaming of the Gulf and remove all references to the Gulf of Mexico from the GNIS, consistent with applicable law. The Board shall provide guidance to ensure all federal references to the Gulf of America, including on agency maps, contracts, and other documents and communications shall reflect its renaming.
  7. You know how I know you are old? But not too old to be a cunt.
  8. Get off Facebook
  9. Fuck you. How bou dat?
  10. Username checks out. JFC. But you're not just a jerk, you are a fucking idiot.
  11. I think OSU is going to be able to reproduce their first drive more often than ND can reproduce theirs.
  12. Interior line play and athletic QB.
  13. Passing legislation to address perceived problems is again not the same as prosecuting your enemies. Ever heard of the ex post facto clause? Adams was dead 150 years before Eugene Debs. Just give it up, your examples are shit and inapposite.
  14. I mean Bevo's not dumb. And it is true that political retribution is fairly normal in various forms, but not this one. As are political shifts in the civil end of DOJ, which is another animal altogether. Maybe he's another victim of the normalization/sanewashing of Trump. And, while Nixon's pardon was pre-emptive, its purpose was at least somewhat noble in intention: he was out of office, let's just move on from this. He was going to be prosecuted by another R administration. This is NOT normal.
  15. Really, just fuck you. Fuck your own face.
  16. God damn dude. Criminal. Prosecution. Enemies.
  17. You realize none of those are threats of criminal prosecution, right? And none by anyone with any control over the DOJ.
  18. I don't think SMU is taking any problem children to speak of. They're back pretty close to big-time now. TCU, maybe. Hell, at this point, EMCC is questionable.
  19. We're not talking about impeachment or congressmen talking about impeachment, we're talking about the nominal head of the US DOJ threatening to weaponize the Department of Justice against his enemies. Not political retribution. Criminal. Prosecution. Yes, political retribution is common. Criminal prosecution as political retribution is not. You're not going to find a citation for that because it's never happened
  20. Yeah, the only applicability I see is that principals often try to create incentives that backfire on them. Congress in 1988 (maybe beforehand too, but the current statute is 1988) immunized vaccine manufacturers from civil suits except via vaccine injury panels. So maybe that's an unnecessary incentive. But mandatory vaccines aren't new either. All sorts of state actors require you to be vaccinated for multiple diseases. Good luck getting a manufacturer to fast-track a vaccine during a pandemic without immunity from suit.
  21. Biden didn't threaten anyone. In the ordinary course of judicial business, a bunch of criminals were prosecuted for doing crimes. Trump has been threatening this for years now.
  22. Is that Crayon? Rip Van Gomez, I guess.
  23. No president has ever threatened to prosecute his enemies from a past administration. Impeachment is a different deal altogether; it's not criminal, it happens during the administration; it's inherently political.
