About tree fiddy. Yards.

He watched the movie to see Kristen Dunst's tits.

Nice shades, assbag.

Uh, no. The GOP through this dickwad named Presler is heavily canvassing Lancaster County for Trump. They've been howling about it for a couple of days. And, as a former Republican myself, you gotta admit, Republicans are all-time ratfuckers.

Oh for fuck's sake. Brilliant negotiator! Businessman! Also waiting on that evidence, or proof of non-citizens voting on any measurable scale.

There's every reason to believe, although it is yet to be confirmed, that that is the result of a GOP operation. https://www.economist.com/united-states/2024/10/17/republicans-ramp-up-efforts-to-court-amish-voters-in-pennsylvania

That's not proof, hotshot. I'll settle for evidence.

Got any proof, hotshot?

Anyone else see the leopard gnawing on the gay guy's face already?

According to Trump, but not hardly anyone else. Seriously, if that were true he could not be prosecuted for 1/6.

To be absolutely immune, the action would have to be tied to a "core constitutional responsibility." For example, Smith took the DOJ evidence out of the case, because a President dealing with his AG (or acting) or deputies, is a core responsibility. Likely meaning a power/duty expressly listed in Article II or elsewhere. On the other end, what is not immune are things done in a personal capacity or outside of the outer perimeter of presidential responsibility. In the middle are things that are presumptively immune, where the presumption is rebutted by a showing that prosecution for that type of presidential action wouldn't have a "chilling effect" on the legitimate exercise of presidential responsibility in the future. So, you'd have to be able to characterize it as a core constitutional responsibility.

Libruls hate America!

And, in addition to that, Roe was just the first domino to fall. When Trump and others say it's "left to the states," that's a reminder (as if needed) of the shenanigans the Gilead states are pulling. It's an ongoing issue.

Make no mistake, I'm not sympathetic to them in particular, I just think our sentencing is way out of whack. Seems to me 20-30 years should be the max except for the absolute most heinous crimes. That places an adult squarely in middle age, where they start to age out of crime, and is surely enough to make an impression.

God, this guy is a flaming asshole. And a Hopkins-trained physician.

Well, one thing that is fairly certain in criminology is that people age out of criminal behavior. Around 50 is about where all but the most recidivist criminals seem to behave themselves pretty well after release. Given that they were young at the time of the crime (still mal- or unformed brains), and under pressure/mitigating circumstances, I'm gonna bet we don't have much or any future trouble from los hermanos.

The Fletcher class was at least fast as shit, design speed 38 kt, and pretty maneuverable with 5x5"/38 and a bunch of Bofors and Oerlikon, which were actually pretty good for fucking up crew. DEs were barely combat vessels.

Quite amazing because the Fletcher class DD and Butler class DE were both designed and launched after it had become clear that ship to ship surface warfare was not really going to be a thing. And both were generally crewed with younger officers and men that were less likely to be trained intensely in ship to ship warfare. ETA Evans was pretty long in the tooth to be a CDR and skipper of a DD, so that probably meant he had a leg up on ship to ship combat, as opposed to ASW, escort and AA/radar picket duty work that was their more normal work.

Well, there is some truth in that the FBI changed their reporting software and larger cities have been slow to adapt to it. This was in the 2020-2021 timeframe. So, FBI had stats based on data in the new system from approximately 60-70% of reporting jurisdictions and then revised to take into account those without the new form of data.

Does subscribed get many more features on Word than free? I've been curious about that for a while.

I came to my views about sentencing long before Amber Guyger wasted Botham Jean.

My thoughts on it apply regardless of the color of the defendant, or their occupation, for the most part. If we have to start with a white cop to get all the cop-loving racists to rethink sentencing, then so be it.

Ha, thanks. I have no urge to hit you. But same. Except I don't drink. Topo or club soda with lime.

Well said. I have thought this, but been unable to articulate it concisely.

They had it on an expedited basis, with Trump's brief due in September. Trump moved to extend that a month, and Smith did not oppose. Appellee's brief due October 25, 2025. Government's reply due 21 days later. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68955302/united-states-v-donald-trump/ I'd imagine they have oral argument in December and a ruling by January. Educated guesses only. EDIT TO ADD: I said it was expedited because the appeal was noticed on July 8, and the briefing schedule putting the government's brief due August 27 is pretty fucking swift. HOWEVER, the briefing dates stem from ordering and receiving the record from the trial court, as you probably know. On July 24, the government certified that all documents were on file. Because this is an appeal of a discrete order, I guess there isn't much record on appeal and the transcript of the hearing is mostly irrelevant because it was non-evidentiary. So maybe just going fairly fast on that alone.
