  1. Rented a car for a few weeks in Scotland. I actually thought driving in the towns was easier in a way---when I was out in the country it was easy to subconsciously get more into old habits and start driving toward the right side of the road. In traffic, it was much easier just to see what everyone else was doing and follow them. I'm sure driving in London would be a nightmare, though. Also, I recommend getting an automatic. Rented a manual, thought it would be no problem since I've had tons of stick shift cars, but shifting with my left hand was one extra thing to think about, in addition to all the other differences of driving on the left.
  2. Sounds lovely. Within the last 2 years, Nancy had insurrectionists in the Capitol trying to kill her, and then her husband gets his head bashed in by an intruder. Living the dream, I tell you.
  3. This. I went last December and needed those small notes everywhere. If you need to use the bathroom at a temple, you have to pay and they won't make change. Also, It was surprisingly cold. I needed my jacket every day except when we were at Abu Simbel.
  4. Imagine the day after Reagan was shot, we all argued about trickle down economics and what a piece of shit he was to women and minorities, while he was still on the operating table, to deflect from the fact we supported Hinckley and wish he'd achieved his goal.
  5. Given how in the bag for the right wing law enforcement is, and that private security is likely consisted of law enforcement or people who couldn't hack it in law enforcement, it wouldn't surprise me if there was a slow response to anything that came in. But it's far more likely to be Hanlon's Razor combined with a large segment of the population, probably including the first responders here, who have become inured to political violence than any deep conspiracy.
  6. FIFY. You can stop right there. No need to what about or blame the victim.
  7. Good to know we’ve pivoted to the victim blaming portion of the show. They didn’t have a gun. They lived in a Democrat run city. The attempted assassin lived in a democrat run city. They didn’t have a good security system. Fuck off with that noise to distract from your side’s terrorism.
  8. WTF with blaming Jews for the Holocaust. How about this, "“We can’t take these guys seriously. Most people are not stupid enough to believe their rhetoric. Besides we need more money and a scapegoat. So I'll ignore the violence and don't really give a fuck if sanity if ever returns because the violence isn't directed at me." German so called Christians-1932.
  9. He's dead.
  10. I love this right wing that puts every specific wrong their cult members do in some little box by itself, as though everything else that's happened is completely unrelated to what one crazy person did. Just because their supporters don't follow actual news, doesn't mean the rest of us have completely forgotten 1/6, pipe bombs sent to Democratic officials before the 2018 election, that Harris's bus was almost ran off the road during the 2020 election, the plot to kidnap the Michigan governor, or any other host of things.
  11. And the fact that TFG doesn't recognize that American Jews for the most part care far more about issues that actually affect their day to day lives and their children's futures than whether the U.S. embassy to Israel is located in Tel Aviv or 30 miles away in Jerusalem says everything about his complete lack of understanding of anyone apart from himself. Aside from also being antisemitic itself, assuming that everyone who's Jewish only cares about Israel to the exclusion of everything else.
  12. Religious extremists tend to support him, be they ultra Orthodox Jews or Evangelical Christians.
  13. I’m not sure what you’re saying. Trump went to scotus to get the classified docs before the special master. If there’s no special master there’s nothing to bring before him.
  14. What would be stayed, though? If Cannon's order is vacated, there's no special master, and there's nothing to stay from the special master's review.
  15. Wouldn't this also give trump access to the classified documents, assuming he's successful? Which to be clear, while I have pretty much lost faith in the justice system, think is unlikely, if for no other reason than Thomas gave the DOJ a briefing schedule that didn't suggest any urgency, and if he's lost Thomas . . .

  18. Yeah. Nobody’s angry at health care providers right now. The US healthcare system is understaffed and filled with patients who can’t pay for basic care and also can’t get answers about the care itself due to the understaffing. It’s a toxic stew. And that was before covid and right wing talking points about lies about covid treatment/vaccination etc and fake outrage over gender affirmation surgery.
  19. It’s the good advice you just didn’t take.
  20. Years ago I ate lunch at the Taj Mahal. I’m known for eating anything. I had to send my food back because it was inedible. And my drink back because there was a fly floating in my wine
  21. There are multiple reports on the twitters that trump filed his objections under seal. Not sure why it’s not showing pacer. Also Teri Kanefield is a really good twitter follow for information on the legal proceedings.
  22. Also, in fuck around and find out
  23. Lo fucking l. He’s also requiring that this be in the form of a sworn affidavit from trump.
  24. Maybe. I doubt they care for this case. But they may want the whole thing struck as bad precedent. They’re not going to want people accused of white collar crimes filing suits to appoint special masters any time documents are seized pursuant to a search warrant
