  1. The existence of Michael Flynn as an OF-8 in the United States Army and appointed to DIA and briefly as NSA scares the living fuck out of me about the military. That he rose to those levels without the assistance of MAGA is /TORBUSH
  2. I think here's the thing. Technically speaking, within a US district, only the United States Attorney or an attorney specifically authorized by the AG under 28 USC 515 to bring charges (a "special attorney"), is authorized to indict. Assistant US Attorneys act in the name of the US Attorney. So if there is no validly serving/appointed US Attorney or special attorney, valid indictments may not be brought in that District. I think if you look at other indictments across the board, you'll see a signature block that is: ___________________________ United States Attorney for ____________ District by _________________________ Assistant United States Attorney If the US Attorney doesn't sign his or her self. So, they're having the conundrum that dipshits worldwide have when they fuck up. Should they pretend Halligan is the validly appointed/serving US Attorney and fuck up other indictments, or does appointing someone else unfuck future indictments but undercut the notion that Halligan is validly serving.
  3. Im guessing it's more of a dribble. Dammit, Deej.
  4. I think this is an important reminder, sometimes. We get so ate up with finding fault in coaches and players that we way overdo it many or even most times, lately.
  5. Yeah bsky glitched. Couldn't make it come thru.
  6. "challenge orthodox science." Fuck you.
  7. While a 3-star could be great, I'm not real excited about Flood's recruits that aren't 4-star plus.
  8. Eh probably a hangover from that dumbshit in Atlanta.
  9. yes. https://stats.statbroadcast.com/broadcast/?id=624723&vislive=tam Probably espn's fucking squirrel cage Commodore 64 CDN with Monday Night Football.
  10. Been watching OTA for football and forgot how much I hate espn's shitty streams.
  11. Popehat with a couple of trenchant observations https://bsky.app/profile/kenwhite.bsky.social
  12. Like that's ever stopped her. The judge, however, maid no explicit findings as to Halligan's competence or lack thereof.
  13. Last of the gunfighters? Nah, guess that's an A-6. Well, hell, first thought may be correct. Anyone?
  14. Oh, for the appeal, this is probably kind of a juicy issue of statutory interpretation that you could get a civil-servant appellate lawyer interested in that's a step removed from the politics. It's probably a lot easier to keep those civil servants around than trial attorneys exercising prosecutorial discretion.
  15. Depends on what the contract defines as cause. While it seems like negligent supervision of coaches, staff and players might well constitute cause, it's one of those things that is often provable or proven only by a jury trial. So, it's relatively unlikely to be defined as cause because of uncertainty. You could have a cause definition that was something like "negligence in the conduct or operation of any of COACH's job responsibilities, as solely determined by the Athletics Director," but no coach is going to sign up for that in all likelihood.
  16. Or grand jury misconduct. Or failure to state an offense.

    RIP Jimmy Cliff

    Im not armybrat, and Sticky Fingers way predated my record shopping days. Nevertheless, I can remember copies of it at Peaches/Sound Warehouse and/or Melody Shop with the zipper and the inevitably ripped up shrink wrap over it.
  18. Yeah, like I told y'all, this "appointments clause" stuff has real teeth. This doesn't make Cannon's ruling correct, as the appointment procedure here is quite different from that in the Special Counsel area. But some truly FAFO shit.
  19. These both apparently are "without prejudice," which means they can be brought again with a properly appointed USA. That means at this point one confirmed by the Senate or appointed on an acting basis by the district court. The limitations and tolling issue might preclude that for Comey, unsure. Not for James, though. But, it would seem that it's going to be hard to get a lackey confirmed in the interim. And the district court is unlikely to appoint one. This is insufficient embarrassment of the Administration, imo. But, this is going to impact Trump's practice nationwide of having "acting" USA's that are unconfirmable.
  20. I can't hear the sex pest's name without thinking of Mark. It's such a comically fictional surname.

    RIP Jimmy Cliff

    Also had to check that Harder They Come was actually a Cliff song. It was. So many of the popular reggae songs are covers from older/more obscure artists. Guess it doesn't matter as he was clearly identified with it regardless.

    The harder they come, the harder they fall. One and all. RIP. Honestly would have thought he was older or already gone.
