  1. Couple of points of order. This is a civil defamation suit, so there isn't a guilty client, and if anyone in this ends up "guilty," it will be the defendant, ie the chick. Of course, Bond might be guilty in the criminal case, but that's not the matter in question here. I'm not a big fan of using the term "guilty" in connection with civil suits. Given that the burden of proof in most of them is more likely than not, and the plaintiff is a private party rather than the government, the term "guilty" or "guilt" carries an implication that doesn't really belong in a civil suit. And, although you jest, it's probably worth remembering that even the guilty deserve and are entitled to a defense. The current regime should be a stark reminder that the government is not always a benign entity and it is at its most powerful against the individual in the context of a criminal proceeding.
  2. Estimates are $2-4K per hour for a Blackhawk. A Shithook is about $11k per hour.
  3. Do you think DNI Gabbard is or will actually do anything to restrain misbehavior before FISC?
  4. Guy is crazy as a shithouse rat. https://x.com/FeelsGuy2003
  5. Enjoyed the first book. Little ways into the second and I have this nagging fear that it's gonna be a little too MMPORGy for me.
  6. These things are supposed to be quite good. https://www.amazon.com/Thermacell-Rechargeable-Protection-DEET-Free-Alternative/dp/B09LXCSSVR/ref=asc_df_B09LXCSSVR?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80814230791523&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=77266&hvtargid=pla-4584413753569036&th=1 The catch is that a 12-hour refill is about $20.
  7. I had truly excellent English teachers in high school. And I didn't take AP. But DaN was part of the curriculum. I need to re-read it. Ms. Fish, Mrs. Troutman, Mr. Smith (later a baseball coach), and Mrs. Glover.
  8. He's not gonna do it. More shit advocacy from Blondi and Trump DOJ. But the idea here I think is to blame it on the judge.
  9. Stupid fat motherfucker has been in full flight from reality since I dunno when. The problem is his ability to take others with him. That seems to be diminishing, slightly.
  10. Yes, like others, I see that as calling out the hypocrisy as opposed to demanding that real Christianity dictate the outcome. As soon as he starts using Jesus or Christian arguments of a certain strain to support legislation, then I'm right with ya.
  11. See how stupid you look when you call things that aren't treason treason? Told y'all. It's not RICO and its not treason, dammit.
  12. Yeah, I'm not sure who we're indicating here, AI or management consultants. Why not both?
  13. Yep, complete political hacks and kind of sleeper cells. Like the whole AG/SG deal.
  14. Also, I might guess that the suit was filed in the Miami Division (rather than WPB/Fort Pierce) because his hack lawyer, Brito, is in Miami. Likely as not, Brito filed it in Miami because convenient/lazy/in a hurry. Given the judicial assignment, I'm guessing Brito is getting roasted by Trump.
  15. You raise a good point. Do note, however, that the Talarico oration immediately above is made in a church and not in a political context. When Talarico speaks in a political context, at least as far as I am aware, he does not invoke Christ or Christianity.
  16. Shocking, really. Their hypocrisy apparently only does go so far. Edit: it appears that Booker and Kim won't consent to the nomination so they can't even hold a vote for Republican Senators to debase themselves in.
  17. And Naive Bukkake admitted that the Venezuelans were always the responsibility of the US. And now the government admits that it can and will faclititate return of Venezuelans to the US.
  18. Oh for sure. Also unsurprising.
  19. Some district judge is going to go off on them given the AP precedent and the lack of even that flimsy excuse.
  20. I originally had this thought as well, given that American Indian, at least, was semi-acceptable. But, when you think about how the term came about, dumbass honkies thinking they'd reached Ceylon or some shit and gave the darker people the same name as Indians (dot not feather), and it kind of falls apart. Lucky they didn't get called "wogs."
  21. H/t Arthur Koestler. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darkness_at_Noon In retrospect, I realize that this was a part of my anti-Communist high school education. However, not so "right" that it was actually very far off.
  22. That sucks, he seemed like a really likable dude. RIP.
  23. Great. Now, explain why Black History Month, or any of the others, are racist.
