TheForkOfDamocles

Iowa republican caucus voters were polled and 30% said they wouldn’t vote for trump if he is convicted. Of course, the election is months away, so too many of them will surely backslide, but still. It was a higher percentage in New Hampshire, too.

Could be. My tines are ever dangling.

We’ll just see about that.

Hyperbolic headline. His speeches “aren’t demanding the world’s attention like they used to.”

Ah, the old ‘60s/‘70s repub-demo switcharoo!

How so?

SCOTUS is going to have to weigh in real quick if they don’t just stay out of the whole thing.

Huh. That’s actually the one that sprang to mind, but all this time I thought those were the same creator. 😄

In that case, “a lot” instead of alot. I might as well put The Oatmeal’s excellent guide here.

I love mine. I had a Pebble, which I also loved, but the Apple Watch merges pretty seamlessly with the rest of my Apple stuff, and has extra features my Pebble doesn’t. I think they should either pay a usage fee to Masimo, or change their software. They’ve wasted enough money and time fighting it.

Undermine democracy?! Gtfo with that bullshit.

So hard to say if they will

1. Rule that only trump has absolute immunity

2. Rule that all presidents have absolute immunity

3. Rule that trump had absolute immunity, but no other president has it starting…now!

Probably has a multi-million dollar deal to be either a talking head, or a corporate board member / lobbyist (or both).

chip roy is an asshole. He worked for john cornyn and rafael “ted” cruz, and ghost wrote rick perry’s book. He’s a “burn it all down” republican (nearly libertarian), with a I Got Mine, Screw You position.

Orion isn’t bad, with his belt and “sword”.

I don’t know about rot, but if he’s guilty he should pay the appropriate penalty, be it a fine, a prison sentence, or both.

His “Ahm just a simple country fella asking questions” bit is so tired. Dude went to Vanderbilt, then was magna cum laude at U Virginia Law, THEN got another law degree with honors at Oxford. In the 2000s he ran for Senate as a Democrat, then switched to Republican.

Jackass.

1)Zero issue with what was spent. Why does it cost so much?

Cognitive dissonance much?

2)Almost zero success.

I disagree, but it’s way too complicated for you and I to hash out here, especially coming at the issue from opposite ends, you as a perhaps general citizen and me as a teacher. Maybe a long hangout at the corner coffee shop would be in order some day.

The Pentagon asked for less. It most certainly IS over-budget. When I say “the military” I mean the Military Industrial Complex, of course. I’m a supporter of our military, of the people actually in it. With a budget greater than the next ten countries combined, the M-I-C is outlandishly frivolous.

Regarding this, but more to the KC schools topic, it seems like your philosophy of budgeting is that only 100% = success, and anything less = failure.

You may revise your opinion after reading the summary and conclusion, but maybe you just figure the liberals at Michigan Law can’t possibly understand all the nuances vs someone watching their local news.

Also, it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Your skimmed analysis of silly twists of numbers belies the full picture, and in my opinion, total desegregation without changing the major obstacles of the systemic segregation of the city’s real estate, was doomed from the start.

BTW, I agree with you that merely throwing money at an issue without cause isn’t correct. One might argue against the ridiculous and constant over-budgeting of the military, for example. In KC, I believe it had many successes, though obviously not a complete realization of the goals (that shouldn’t have needed to be implemented in the first place).
