  1. Yeah and that narrator liked to sweep with a real broad brush on "Protestants" versus evangelicals. He was right that, for a variety of reasons, Catholic churches tend to be more strongly tied to their parishes (there's a regional aspect to that that isn't present in other denominations). I didn't see a single Presbyterian, Methodist, or Episcopal church on that list. Or Lutheran for that matter, but they've got Missouri Synod like Presbys have PCA and I guess now Methodists have our own sect of shitheels.
  2. And also, apart from the joy of watching Trump squirm, these documents are ambiguous as fuck and not supplemented with testimony. To the extent there are actually innocent people in there being subjected to innuendo, that's exactly why you don't release investigation evidence that hasn't resulted in an indictment. It's a total shit show. The only thing that makes this a good thing in any real way is that Trump is at the vortex of the shit storm.
  3. To be fair to you corn dogs, LSU is just letting the politicians in the athletics henhouse, at least so far. Aggots are letting them in the classroom.
  4. They could actually crow that they brought all that good stuff back but now illegals are ineligible. Ignoring that they've always been ineligible. Shit, they've already blown the budget and deficit straight to hell, why not tack on a few billion for the people.
  5. Not needling you, I've cited Brooks before. It's just that these "common gooders," typically fundamentalist Cathoiics, do a great job of identifying the problems, but their proposed solutions are too white-hetero-Christian in perspective. https://www.patrickjdeneen.com/ https://archive.blogs.harvard.edu/adrianvermeule/ I think Deneen is more sane than Vermeule.
  6. This is hugely overblown. On the other hand, if your negligence causes a "lifetime injury," say paralysis, like, I dunno, Greg Abbott, the judgment is going to seem pretty huge.
  7. They (the band/ISD) have some kind of public performance license that extends to typical high school football venues, but not to broadcasts, most likely. Also, the broadcaster needs its own license to broadcast copyright content. ASCAP/BMI have/grant licenses tailored to incredibly specific situations. They leave little or no money on the table.
  8. Sorry to hear about that coach. Missed this about the lawsuit. The attorney is a notorious asshole and drunk that represented Rittenhouse until he was let go. Financial and other impropriety follows him wherever he goes.

  10. Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Secretly Got Money From $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts Or, how crooked politicians get rich. https://www.propublica.org/article/kristi-noem-dhs-ad-campaign-strategy-group
  11. That's an interesting piece. But there's a couple of problems I see with it that may reveal more about Brooks than anything else. The terms "moral" and "morality" are very loaded these days, as is the term "common good." I very much agree that we have overemphasized individuality and lost community in the process. But attempts to "recover" from that often tend to focus on the moralistic rather than the strictly moral. There's a balance in there somewhere.
  12. So, yeah, as a law dog I have ended many letters with this. I can't do it anymore with a straight face. Just sent one off with something else.
  13. "Putting victims first" is so twisted. Just as a general proposition.
  14. Cuz you're doing lots of sinister shit.
  15. Also, some of you whippersnappers may not believe it, but there was a time when it was believed that communicating by email waived attorney-client privilege because there was no expectation of privacy. Therefore, our clients forbade us from emailing them and those in the organization. Sure, emails can be hacked. Phones can also be tapped and mail stolen or read. It's all relatively unlikely. And I think all this Epstein email came straight out of his email account via search warrant. It wasn't hacked.
  16. Well, the owner of BO is only somewhat less of a dickwad than Elmo, so there's that.
  17. Regardless of their actual position, or the concerns of their constituents, being a Republican is easy: Support Trump or do not. If you choose the former, you go along with whatever nonsense he's up to at the moment with no regard for anything else. If you choose the latter, you're likely to get primaried, lose a lot of funding, and probably lose the support of the base in your district or constituency; plus, you're likely to get "Truthed" and given a stupid nickname; and possibly investigated by the DOJ. It's not that easy for Dems.
  18. One of the advantages of emails for attorneys, over phone calls, is that they can put in writing a warning of adverse consequences. It can be a fine line regarding putting that kind of stuff in an email, but protecting yourself from a client who is going to try to say you didn't warn them or advise them can be a paramount consideration.
  19. Game recognize game, yo.
  20. That's very likely true. I'm not even sure Congress really has the power to compel an executive branch agency, like DOJ, to do anything. Yes, they pass the laws that govern the agency and that the agency enforces, but I'm not sure about this kind of thing. It's probably blurry enough to bog the thing down in litigation for 3-4-5 years.
  21. Big props for sucks to your assmar, (Piggy).
  22. Make the sonofabitch deny it. Trump wouldn't be working so hard on the discharge petition if he wasn't deathly afraid of votes in the House, Senate, and his own veto.
  23. Very un-Toyota-like all around.
  24. I suspect Kenvue lodged a complaint with the administration of the use of Tylenol versus the generic name. And probably mentioned that since Trump is the recipient of stupid amounts of license fees over the years, he should appreciate the issue.
