  1. Not disbarment worthy.  Discipline, yes.  Also maybe a little investigation into his substance habits and mental health.
    As a "member" of a lawyer's support group that takes referrals about people potentially in substance or mental health  trouble, we got a report of a guy who was at some sort of motion hearing that got intense and cursey so the judge sent the opposing lawyers to the jury room to have the cursey conversation outside the presence of the court.
    The main curser then proceeded to take out his piece and piss all over the table in the jury room and whatever documents were on it.
    Never did know the resolution of that incident.

    Well, the only proper move is for opposing counsel to piss on the table next. Like hell am I gonna let some upstart mark MY territory.

  2.  

    Awesome. Did Kirk know that number - almost a year old story, by the way - has been debunked?

    And further, the the extent there was such an issue, it was due to a glitch in Pa’s motor voter registration computer system, and has been fixed? Or, could it be that Kirk wants to whip up the base to go after legit voters who “look kinda funny,” and further feed naked GOP disenfranchisement efforts? Gosh, I wonder what it is?

    He’s such a fucking tool. The history books are going to show him to be the pathetic gritting simpleton that he is for eternity. Posterity will not be kind. Fortunately, he won’t have any descendants, because his socks can’t get pregnant.
  3. It's okay, grandpa. 

    What’s really best is that the rest of us won’t have to lift a finger.

    Morons want to take up arms against my country? Ok, cool, Hookem. I’ll sit back and watch the armed forces do what they did last time: kick the shit outta the traitors.

    Shit, I hope they’re dumb enough to really try it.
  4. One thing that strikes me is tha lack of voices here or elsewhere to defend against this worst act against democracy.
    Sure, you're against the abuse of FISA warrants. Me too! We should totally hang out.
    Oh, you don't give a fuck about how we silence the voices of folks who might actually affect change through their representatives?
    Shove that white hot poker up your ass, Anastasis.

    This take. I like it.
  5. I was going to say, why carry baggage like that around on your back when you can find potential officers who are more than willing to lead with character. I'm sure the cadets didn't display the hand sign when applying, but weed out the unworthy so you end up with more Vindmans.

    The simple and incurable problem is that those men will be unable to lead. The men who would be under their command would certainly include non white men and women. They could not believe in such a leader.

    And that’s the cardinal sin in the military. Jeopardize the chain of command and the function of the unit, and you’re a liability.
  6. Right next to their classmate too. I don't get it at all. Everyone bleeds red, everyone dies and this, this is what you choose?
    Break their fingers.

    Our military has always had a white supremacist problem, but it’s getting worse in this MAGA era.
  7. So, we blame Hillary Clinton for the idiots that wanted to believe she sold our urananium, killed a guy, ransacked her own foundation, was personally responsible for the deaths in Benghazi, and had a debilitating brain disease? Blame her for the idiots that embraced the current criminal in the White House?
    Let's not forget in all of this focus on Trump that the profound problem here is the electorate. That problem remains after Trump is gone. They've hitched their cars to the hate engine. They'll be provided with many false reasons to hate whoever the GOP wants them to hate. Hillary was just target of opportunity. 
    See GOP outlets propaganda about AOC and her freshmen colleagues. See GOP campaign to denounce John Kerry's war record in favor of a guy who couldn't even show up for the National Guard. Or just turn on FOX and Limbaugh.
    Trump is a symptom. The shining bubo on a hill. The plague is the poison happily consumed by the electorate.

    Perfection.
  8. Inasmuch as unlike the rest of the GOP,  the GOP-appointed justices are not subject to reelection, I think they are free not to protect Trump, including the ones appointed by Trump.  Roberts has already been publicly disloyal to the asshole-in-chief.  

    Roberts will get in line. He’s just another little bitch. “Little bitch” is their brand.
  9. On this, I have little doubt that the Supremes will affirm the lower courts on most of the issues.  Thus, "we" get tax returns and financials and executive branch officials must appear and testify.
    I can't really envision any scenario where a Court of any composition doesn't grant cert on these issues.  On the one hand, it prolongs the litigation and delays the release, on the other, it's pretty important to put a bullet in these spurious, overbroad privilege/immunity claims for future reference.  Denying cert because it terminates the litigation and results in immediate release would be an entirely outcome-based decision of the type most would decry.
    One thing that I am also pretty certain of is that the Supremes will rule that executive privilege cannot be asserted broadly, but must be claimed narrowly and with particularity, that is "topic/document by topic/document" or "question by question."  That will still leave plenty of room for Trump to stonewall inquiry.  And that will provoke further litigation, most likely.  However, I might expect that that litigation is "cert denied" material because of its "fact bound" nature.

    Your legal analysis is spot on.

    What it fails to acknowledge is the fact that the court will - much more artfully and cleverly than he’ll ever be able to understand - protect Trump. Because the GOP is a criminal syndicate. They own states. They own the White House. They own the senate. They own the court. And they’re never letting them go.
  10. Most police are good people.  
    Having said that, what's the name of the "cop" from Arizona that murdered the guy in the hotel for zero reason in cold blood?  And where is he now?  I assume he's not a cop, but I assume he's still on the grid somewhere.  

    No, they’re not. They either do what he did, or they cover for him. Back the blue!

    See the original subject of this thread.

    Presume there are no good cops. It’s the safe assumption.

  11. Have had a shitty few weeks. The boy remains really sick.

    So I skipped dinner and am getting whiskey drunk while we watch episode 8, The Last Patrol. Episode 9, Why We Fight, is next. If I have another couple of scotches, I don’t know how well I’ll handle it.

    I really want my kid to be better.

    Fuck.

  12. I remember seeing that video and it was terrible. Did anything happen to that psycho cop. He should be in jail. Not a cop anymore at the very least

    He was acquitted.

     

    He was reinstated so he could get full medical benefits from “PTSD” (it’s stressful murdering a man begging for his life).

     

    His reinstatement entitled him to a pension.

     

    Yeah, true justice.

     

    Remember: police are scum. All of them. They either do what he did, or they defend it.

  13. Not a Screamin' Sicilian fan. Every one I've tried sucked. DiGiorno is the premium frozen benchmark. Tombstone is the D2 leader closely followed by Red Baron and after that it's battle of the least shitty juco pizza. 
    On the fresh, ready to bake offerings, Papa Murphy's and Walmart's Marketside ain't bad.
    Ate a truckload of those Stouffer's French Bread pizzas growing up. Wore out a couple toaster ovens.

    Screamin Sicilian looks better than it turns out.

    Seriously, the store brand thin crusts are great. Home Run Inn is also good. Tombstone is strong, as is the Heb version. And we dig Red Baron.

    But man...now I’m jonesing for a shitty Torino’s.
