25 years ago, I needed a tie to attend a ceremony. I bought TWO - one a DT branded the other Jerry Garcia. The DT one (shiny and purple) lasted ONE wearing and started to unravel. I still have my Jerry (black with blue and purple diamonds) necktie. Never again

"dated" has a very specific definition in this case

This admin will waste all kinds of your money pursuing their fevered and delusional dreams

Comey is off the hook. The SoL applies at ALL times after it has run/lapsed (unless it is tolled, which in this case it was not. Toll: to legally pause)

W/oP is troubling. Not necessarily bad news, but...

^ THIS

I golf and the camping crowd (friends etc) call me the "resident lib" (why I don't visit them). They ridicule me for playing that "sissy elitist game" (and my not liking football). Then they crow loudly about how they love F-Elon47. -- Maybe it's the swill they call beer? (Coors Light)

^YES

I am a citizen

Who voted against

Always have and will.

Volunteered for candidates who oppose MAGA.

Still not clean - not entirely anyway.

If so - the US electorate is complicit and may face accomplice liability level charges.

Whether actively, by voting FOR this.

Or passively, by not voting against it (or at all)

😀 I concede that once in a while you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right...

I'm an AMERICAN, sir. And you expect me to NOT be lazy?

Charade, you are.

Until you actually think critically about it and realize how horrible an idea it really is.

This proposal allows you to be intellectually and actively lazy and to not participate in keeping our elected reps true to their words. You want someone making burger flipper wages to make policy?

THIS is how the SCOTUS screwed us forever with that decision that all actions while in office have to be somehow given the benefit of the doubt.

It lead to the interpretation that ALL his ramblings, thoughts, and word are NOW the NEW LAW! Irrespective of actual statutes saying otherwise.

Well, from what I've seen - he DOES like them younger...

Notice where ZM has his hands. He knows someone close to him is known to be "grabby".

Please put up a link of real estate available near you. I'll give it a serious read. This place is used up. Thank you.

A job nobody really wants, going into it

A job nobody wants to end, at the end of it.

Years ago, GQ ran an article titled "Sports Are For Losers". This problem is but one of the multitude of reasons why. (the article, to my reading was NOT anti-sports. rather it was calling out all the bad aspects of expectation and ORGANIZED sports.

Not new - I once encountered the Iron Sheik and Hacksaw Duggan having a great time at a restaurant. This was two days after they had squared off in a wrasslin match. That was 1990 - something

We are living a badly scripted WWF PPV right now.

IOW - the OP says it's laundering of the language. No! It's the OP falling into the trap to suggest that the two words are, in fact, interchangeable.

A lawful order can be completely illegal.

A legal order can never be unlawful nor illegal.

Words are supposed to express concise meaning. Ergo the words illegal and unlawful (or legal/lawful) are not entirely interchangeable.

Her reply is a non answer masquerading as an intellectual one - because they truly believe their base is stupid - why they love the uneducated.

That this is in any way "new/reminder" to anybody - kinda belies that it's far from over.

Rather it shows it never really started off on solid footing to begin with.

We will have to agree to be at loggerheads here. My understanding of HVAC says otherwise. The non heat types of energy CAN be converted to heat - for sure, not in dispute here. To say there is no such thing as heat defies life experience of all of us - and is borderline sophistry.

AF is meant to convey the atrocity of Stalin regime. For that parallel to come so close to current events in the USA is troubling on so many front. (in the story the dogs are SSP - Soviet Secret Police - if it lifts it's leg in blind obedience, like a dog - it's a dog)

The dogs in the story are ICE and CBP thugs. (not all those agents are thugs - yet they operate in conjunction within thug culture, imho)

All heat is energy - not all energy is heat

Kinetic energy, potential energy for starts...

I wish we'd be seeing him as Napoleon of Animal Farm. The parallel is there - entirely.

Let me know if you're not already aware and I can expand on that comparison.

From the man who otherwise says he doesn't believe in polls.

Geo and Abe would have a pillowcase party with your ass bhind the woodshed you miserable sot.

Of course not

Many people say the same about me tbh - they call me confused. Perhaps I am.

There are some 12-14 different "types" of conservative though.

Yep - I was "in" until 2008 (approx) - then the scales fell from my jaundiced eyes.

Total con - cemented in 2015 and continues.

I've found an interview where Dumpster said he'd run for president "IF the republican were NOT GOOD TO him" (yes, this one seems to be actual)
