    Well, for one thing, there's always some dumbass who thinks he's gonna get paid when his predecessors didn't. It's even got a name in "second lawyer syndrome" or third, fourth, or fifth. Also, large cash retainers can make it work, for a while. It is also possible that some of these guys have an "alternative fee arrangement" where they get a piece of the value of the property "saved." But you're right, this collection and bankruptcy shit costs everyone a shit ton, in time if not money (a lot of Freeman's lawyers are pro bono).

    But mainstream media is BIASED!

    They can't. It has been BOP policy, dictated by the courts and the 8th Amendment since 2016 (note during the Trump administration). Note though that this applies to gender-affirming care, to include, but not require, transition surgery. I believe the tale of the tape is that very few prisoners have had such surgery (one ordered as of 2022, https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/federal-court-orders-first-gender-affirming-surgery-trans-prisoner-rcna25377. BOP is fairly notorious for withholding even life-saving procedures if they are expensive. They often just discharge such inmates on "compassionate" grounds.

    Yeah it really is, explains it well without much inaccuracy.

    That then would seem to be excellent evidence of Jones' control of those entities, regardless of "title" ownership, thus exposing them to collection remedies. In any event, I think all/most of Jones' income from those entities will be subject to garnishment or similar remedy regardless of ownership. Between this and Rudy, the public is going to get something of an education on judgment collection remedies.

    Right, and it's GT. Clemson is a much better school, particularly for engineering, than OM. But GT is near-MIT caliber. I kind of stumbled into engineering at UT, but there's a handful of schools That I could have "done better" with if I had been more intentional about it. MIT and Georgia Tech are probably 1 and 2. GT, like MIT, is also pretty scrong on business.

    The real back story is a bizarre Facebook quiz/answers by a Meat chicken player named Marques Slocum. https://www.everydayshouldbesaturday.com/2007/08/22/hero-for-our-time-marques-grand-marques-slocum And then Scipio's take off. https://www.barkingcarnival.com/2007/08/24/marques-slocum-michigan-football-intellectual-ventures-inside-the-actors-studio So, for a few months there, "fuck lion" was de rigeur. Gotdamn, I can't believe that was 17 years ago.

    What does it even mean? The federal government doesn't register voters. It doesn't have the data to evaluate voter registrations, certainly not any more than the states where they're registered. What the fuck? Ah, I see it's to CIS to verify citizenship.

    No one here worships any politicians as Gods. That's the Trumpers. We do, however, declare Trump the antiChrist. So there's that.

    Well, that guy above said it best. They can revolt and remove someone from power. Yay, goody, great. But you need to consider who takes power when you do that. Revolution without regard to the outcome is foolish.

    Funny thing, I'm pretty sure Smith's new narrative says Trump openly said he'd let Rudy run the election suits and wouldn't pay him if he didn't win. Yep, page 11. If he said that to Rudy, that may well terminate the obligation.

    How is it left? Do you not see Trumpists doing exactly the same thing, and with more vitriol and over stupider stuff. Fall in line!
  15. TwiceHorn
    They have a really stupid revolutionary mentality. It actually explains a lot.

    Ok makes sense. I am less familiar with Tower/Gunslinger than many King fans. Also, found a short story on my reader called Ur. Kind of a mix of Word Processor of the Gods with some low men in yellow coats. I enjoyed it.

    A little? Tell me, do you see "mainstream" media making a big issue of any of this? Do you see right wing media talking about it at all? Oh, looky, he'res a story about Trump that quotes other sources as to his acuity. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/06/us/politics/trump-speeches-age-cognitive-decline.html It also fails to call him a liar, instead using euphemisms like "untethered to the truth." They even quoted Steven Cheung: Steven Cheung, the campaign communications director, called Mr. Trump “the strongest and most capable candidate” and dismissed suggestions that he has diminished with age. “President Trump has more energy and more stamina than anyone in politics, and is the smartest leader this country has ever seen,” he said in a statement. Pray tell, is that propaganda?

    Fify. H/t to PJ O'Rourke.

    Well, it does make somewhat more sense that they left the Bill of Rights and ditched the rest. Although just leaving out 13 through 16, 19 and 22 would be very on brand.

    Now that's a fun bit of trivia that I don't recall. What else was Callahan in? Seems like King loves to include sheriffs and lawmen in different stories, George Bannerman, Andy Clutterbuck, etc.

    Excellent point. If we're going to start labeling things as propaganda, might as well bring Tucker, Tenet and RT into the conversation.

    Projection. It's you who swallow anything parroted by media. Unless it's that librul media. Then it's propaganda. I and most of us here are capable of distinguishing opinion from fact and assessing the credibility of the opinion. And, there was very extensive discussion here, among the CR "cabal," of Biden's acuity and competence long before the disastrous debate. We all knew it was a potential problem. Now, you do Trump. Does anything about his mental acuity raise questions in your learned eyes?

    I have no idea who those people speaking are. Reporting people's opinions is not propaganda. Every single article I can find that reports someone saying he is sharp has raised the question of his mental acuity, leaving it to the reader to determine whether to believe the asserted source. Asserting that he is sharp as a tack is another matter entirely. I gave you real citations to media and you give me some magat bullshit. Because you are in thrall to maga bullshit.

    And only passing reference to the word salad bar that is Donald Trump.
