Duels. The Framers expected norms to be enforced by -- if necessary -- challenges to resolve it upon the Field of Honor.

When DC banned them in the 1830's, this nation started falling to shit.
Everyone knew he was senile when he started ranting "They're eating the dogs, the cats..."

But Republicans will even support a child rapist if it helps them "own the libs", which is the only thing they care about.

So anyway I restored Daicon IV from scratch. This was a joint project with Chris Person (papapishu), who sourced the incredibly Rare Laserdisc release. The raw files can be found on the internet archive for those interested in processing it yourself. Enjoy! archive.org/details/DAIC...

Counterpoint: Since DC banned duels of honor in the 1830's, this nation has gone to shit, but it's way past time for Adelita Grijalva to call out Johnson for his disrespect.
100% estate tax after the first 10 million. If your kids aren't worthless, they'll earn their own fortunes.
I remember when grunge made flannel popular and I was like, "Ur?"
It was, indeed, peak compositing of miniatures and effects.
To be fair, Donald Trump was not convicted of fraud. He was convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree.

However, he has been found liable in civil court for acts of fraud, sexual abuse, and defamation.
For the record, There's the felony conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. There's two jury verdicts and an appeals court holding him liable for sexually assaulting and defaming E. Jean Carroll, and there's the verdict of liability for fraud.
I think that if he wants the money, he has to go through the trials and be acquitted by the juries.
Until the 1830's, there *were* supposed to be duels when someone tried to violate norms.
The Constitution's effectiveness is predicated on one simple thing the Founding Fathers had.

Duels of Honor.

And this country started going to shit in the 1830's when DC outlawed them. That was what the Framers intended as an out-of-band method of enforcing norms.

You know it's true. I know it's true. THEY know it's true.

The preponderance of evidence in Doe v. Trump (1:16-cv-07673) District Court, S.D. New York proves it's true.

Republicans don't CARE that in 1994, Donald Trump raped a 13 year old girl, a sex slave trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell.
Same way everything else is paid for.

If you're concerned about spending, maybe the White House doesn't need a new ballroom, or Donald Trump could play fewer 4 million dollar games of golf, or we could use perhaps half the nuclear warheads we have?
More importantly, I believe, is DC's banning of dueling in the 1830's, as that was the out-of-band mechanism the Framers' had thought would have enforced norms.

Just imagine if Schumer had sent over his Seconds when McConnell stole Obama's USSC nomination.
In the late-80's I used to run a Hot Sam pretzel stand in a mall. There we are, 18 year old kids, often hungover -- or still drunk -- from the night before mixing up a batch of sodium hydroxide to fill up the bath at the bottom of the oven.
Some would say that Isaiah 11:11-12 is interpreted to command that Jews do not to return to the Promised Land until after The Messiah Comes.

Which would explain all the -- not in the biblical context -- trials and tribulations the Government of the State of Israel has to contend with.
In NYS, check with your county board of election for the hours and locations for early voting before election day.
Maybe it's past time to be worrying about antagonizing the fucking Rooskies.
Every game of golf Donald Trump plays costs taxpayers $4 million dollars.
I didn't know that the new Jeopardy involved a new "sudden death" element, but I'm game.

"Who is Paul Henning?"
Did he shit himself again like he did at his criminal trial?
