    Let me know when she simply apologizes then lets the apology stand for more than 1 hour.

    So, there is a lot of mention of this issue recently on this thread. I’m fairly certain that it was reported yesterday that Avenatti withdrew his request to be a part of this case (for now).

    I was makin' fun of her chola brows the other day until someone told me that she has alopecia and is smooth as a baby ALL OVER. Woohorn is Vic Mackey?

    Fed $ can subsidize it.

    Please evaluate the "a bit large" cost, vis a vis the intended benefit, "less kids murdered in schools".

    My favorite aspect of it is the complete nonchalant acceptance of a completely false, non-existent premise of the Theory of Evolution, that it concludes that "we evolved from apes".

    I'm all for securing schools in a much more robust manner. Control the number and location of entry points, have SEVERAL armed "cops", metal detectors, etc. I will note that these new special security police should not have any jurisdiction or job scope beyond securing entry and responding to major situations.

    Between this and the other reply to my post, I guess I wasn't clear enough when I said that I wasn't advocating for a particular ban. I was merely addressing ONE concern that always gets brought up. It was not at all supposed to be a compromise on the banning of some gun. It was a compromise on the issue of: "If a particular weapon were to be outlawed, how would that be implemented?" One answer was up-thread about buybacks, 20 year notice periods and then totally illegal for anyone to have. Others respond by stating (correctly, in my opinion), "fuck that for a bunch of reasons...thus no ban or restriction at all." ETA: This implementation issue could also apply to magazine capacity, etc.

    I think he knows and posted it as a “but Obama,”.

    This confuses me because it is REALLY common for newly elected DA’s offices to fire prosecutors and staff who supported their opponents in the election. A friend of mine from law school was fired by Craig Watson because he attended Watson’s opponent’s election returns event.

    I have a general question about actual implementation. What if, as a “compromise”, whichever weapons are subject to a new prohibition...are covered by a registration/grandfather clause. IOW, there is a time period where someone can register their “about to be banned” weapon (if it is not already registered to them). After the law goes into effect, possession by those to who the weapon is not registered becomes a crime. Some gun control folks won’t approve because there are still a LOT of these weapons at large. Some gun rights folks will dig in and state that the registration requirement is an onerous restriction of their rights. To me, the disapproval by the more outer segments of the issue is basically evidence that it’s a decent, reasonable compromise. * I’m not addressing the other questions of whether this would “work to stop all of the shootings”, etc. I just always wonder how people feel about the idea.

    * peek Also, the buses were obtained and created for that company for use for field trips of children being housed at one of the immigration detention centers. The link in the tweet is pretty clear about that.

    King is, in fact, a hack. I agree with him politically on many fronts but I just can not put any stock into his assertions or “research”. His track record is pretty bad, from my recollection. He was the one who broke the Peyton Manning sexual assault of a team doctor story, IIRC. That’s when a lot of people got familiar with him. As far as Texas fans specifically, I think a lot of people cut their teeth on his pieces about Strong’s tenure.

    Yes, they can. Mueller can subpoena them. The committees could have done so, but did not.

    He might, assuming the phone providers' records indicate cell/phone numbers that aren't directly associated with Trump. If the blocked number calls were to then candidate Trump, if the number isn't like registered to him or whatever, there would still be some serious circumstantial evidence (which is real evidence, not the TV definition) to be gleaned from the call logs. You seem to be assuming that the actual number that is blocked is unknown to Mueller, which definitely not the case. I have no idea if the calls were to Trump or not, but if they were, we will find out about it,

    I greatly enjoy watching entire threads of people not “get” Hank Scorpio.

    I bet you’re wrong, but then again, I’ve never tasted liquid smoke before (and been made aware of it).

    Sonofabitch. I just made some like 2 week’s ago, using mayo and milk. How the fuck I forgot that is beyond me. My thought process was “there aren’t eggs or oil in ranch dressing?!?” Neg away. ETA: This is extra funny because I make Ranch from packets pretty often. Can’t stand the bottled stuff now. Like, if I’m ordering shitty pizza and I’m out of ranch...I’ll drive to H-E-B (when it’s open) to get a packet before placing my order.

    I am saying that and I have read the pleadings. Now what?

    Bullshit. What...do you think DOTUS would just let not being invited slide by without some Twitter vomit about it? Are you new?

    Fajita beef and it’s great.

    Took this picture at Y Mas 10 minutes ago just to say “fuck your opinion”.
